The Gnome Craft Pub

“If you don’t come here you’re really missing out. We got last minute reservations a couple days before Valentine’s Day. The service is amazing, our server Collin recommended dishes and nailed it. The Nordic chicken is the best chicken I’ve ever had in my life. The sloppy joes were amazing, and I tried the short ribs with sweet potato mash which were also amazing. It appears they switch up their menu seasonally which makes me excited to come back and try more. 10/10.”

“We feel that The Gnome is usually 5 stars for us. This review is just for the Friday Fish Fry. We didn’t want to give a bad rating for just the fish fry. The fish fry was only a 3 out of 5 for us. The service and overall experience is always a 5, but the fish fry lacked anything special. The fish was kind of a typical battered fish you find at a lot of places. It wasn’t bad by all means, but it didn’t stand out. It was AYCE, but just the fish. The fries were only a 1 time serving. Like we said, we didn’t want to give a bad rating just because of the fish fry because we feel it’s more of a one-off from their daily menu.”

“The food is good but the drinks are great. They have this gin and floral liquor drink that I literally think about all the time. I visited this place with my friends when we traveled for a concert and spent most of our afternoon out on their patio. Since then, I try and make it a priority to visit any time I am in Minneapolis. If you want a good night out with friends, this would be a great place to go! It can get quite busy, but it's not surprising that this place is popular.”

“Our server was super friendly, fast and helpful. The atmosphere is very nice. We sat outside on the patio under the big beautiful tree. Our food was ok. We ordered the pastrami deli stack and the shaved lamb pocket. The lamb was tough and cold like it had been cooked a few times or reheated more than once. The fries were good. Paying $90 (including a 20% tip) for a couple beers and sandwiches just feels crazy. I can't get used to it. Probably wouldn't recommend this place. It is super cute though.”

“The cheesy wild rice and cheese curds are an interesting combo. Both the curds and rice are good but not sure if its the best pairing. The fish po boy was crispy and tasty. The fries were stunning!”
