Off the Rails: Reviews & Ratings
Great spot right outside US Bank stadium. Serving high quality food with a great mix of options, nice selection of craft beers and super friendly staff. We will be back to try more items on the menu. To the team: Keep up the great work.
Had a great meal here. Service was great, easy to get a table. My son and I shared a fried chicken sandwich and the pulled pork Mac n cheese. Miller light and coors light on tap. Also fun darts game. Definitely recommended for a great burger and beer!
Prime location especially before Vikings games! The Vikings have early games this year, so we had to try the breakfast menu at Off The Rails. You get the usual breakfast fare, and I just had the most basic. I was just craving small plates or something but those weren't on the menu. They have a good variety of beer on tap, as well as a special purple Vikings cocktail... but as it was 930when we went, I went for a mimosa . They had a DJ on the patio cranking out upbeat music and the people were in a partying vibe, just the perfect atmosphere before a football game!
On the day of a "special event" at the nearby ballpark, the "event menu" was substantially reduced. I requested my burger to be cooked medium rare and was informed that the burgers were all thoroughly cooked (and it was!). It arrived very dry (well done) and lacking the taste I was hoping for. The fries were fine. Location is great, though!
I found this wonderful place while I was strolling around after the No Kings March. Despite being extremely busy, I still received great service. The drinks were absolutely fabulous, and the waitress was very helpful. The food items we ordered were all very delicious and enjoyable.
Good location, reasonable prices, good food, excellent service. Reasonably priced beer on tap as well
This bar exceeded all my expectations, offering some of the best food and drinks I've had in a while. They have a great selection of draft beers, and the Pistachio Ale from Indeed really stood out to me. It's a local cream ale with a delicious malty flavor. I also gave their weekly bartender specialty a try, a Peach mule. It was the perfect mix of spicy ginger and refreshing peach. Really well done. I took a gamble and ordered their Blueberry Burger. Let me tell you, it was a really good! The sweetness of the blueberry sauce combined with a juicy, savory burger was just amazing. A truly innovative and delicious combo. And of course, I have to give props to my bartender, Jaelyn. She was friendly, efficient, skilled at making drinks, and she really made the overall experience great. Her service was top-notch, and he made sure my visit was the best it could be.
This was your typical bar. The food was okay and what you’d expect at a bar. This would be a great place to come on game day either before or after a game. The drink selection was great and the staff was pretty attentive for how slow it was since we visited on a non game day during the winter.
