The Roadside

Food took 40min to get to us. Nachos were luke warm and tacos had to be sent back because they had the wrong sauce. Servers were great but something was obviously going on with the kitchen. My friends I was with go there regularly, love it, and never before had such an issue so maybe my expectations were just set a little high. The tacos were delicious once we got the right ones. Overall I'd still recommend them.

The beer selection was wonderful, everything we wanted to know was clearly presented on the list. Our server was also very knowledgeable with both the beers and the food. The Queso appetizer she recommended was just the right amount for four people. I enjoyed the Crispy Chicken Sandwich and was amazed at the size of the chicken breast. On the downside, the television was extremely loud which made you feel as though you were yelling across the table.

Best burgers in Blaine, or really anywhere in the North suburbs! Mondays have a great burger and fries special for cheap all day. Highly recommended. Great bartenders and awesome tap selection, too.

The food is outstanding. Jordan knows flavor profiles like no one else, and Matt knows his way around a burger. The tacos al pastor are incredible. They have great burger selections, and the nachos are excellent. Little menu hack: order the chicken nachos, and add the black bean salsa and special sauce. You won't be disappointed. Craft beer selection is better than almost anyone in the area, although I would love to see more from local breweries. Too many selections from across the country when we have some incredible breweries right here in the cities. The atmosphere is pretty low key. Lighting isn't so bright and it's much quieter than most bars, which I like. Changes in staffing and prices have brought this from a 5 star to a 4 star for me, but Roadside is still one of my favorite places to go for a beer and a bite.
