I really liked it here! My boyfriend and I came for lunch on a Saturday afternoon. We got seated right away. Our food came out quickly, fresh and hot. I got the crab cake sliders and the Cajun pasta (yum!) my bf got the wings and a burger. The staff was great, friendly and very welcoming. Very nice atmosphere. 5 stars. We’ll be back
Went here on 4th of July. The meal i got, was bland and nothing I expected. My sister got the nachos which were tasty. The I got the Flaming Peach Margarita because the waitress said it wasn’t spicy but oh it sure was. Luckily my friend switched the drink with me. The waitress also split the water when put it down on the table and then never gave us a second water to replace it. And then when the man came to clean off the table he knocked over my water. I understand it was a “holiday” but the restaurant side of the place was not much.
Me and my friend went to the bar to get some drinks. were both 22 and the bartender thought we were underage. we got lemon drop and green tea shots and didn’t really feel anything. we had 4 shots each and walked out fine so they were definitely watered done. we barely drank so 80$ worth of shots should’ve had us good.
Minnesota been around a long time the food is just ok the drinks are fine reasonably priced. Be careful with the drinking and driving out in Long Beach the cops will get you. They do not play out there. As far as Minnesota’s I can take it or leave it. Stop short of recommending it.
Food is okay.. not too many vegetarian/vegan options.Atmosphere is pretty laid back and dog friendly in the outdoor part.Unfortunately there are no Mocktails, and if you ask for a drink to be made without alcohol, it is still the same price.
Appetizers never came out. My wife asked specifically for no onions on our salad and sauce on the side for her burger. There were onions all over the place and the sauce was smothered on top of her burger. My daughter ordered a steak medium well and it came out rare.Waited a while for food and drinks and it wasn’t even busy.Would not recommend to anybody!
Dont order the shrimp tacos ...even after not eating all day and being so hungry....I took one bite and threw it out it was that terrible...Manager was cool as hell tho and real nice looking.
Scam. Bland food with poor service and ridiculous hidden “credit card” fees. Expect to be underwhelmed and leave feeling ripped off.My surf and turf burger was cooked well done instead of medium, had way too much bun for the burger and only had two (definitely frozen) shrimp on it. The bun wasn’t toasted or anything.Everyone in my party of 4 was bummed out by the quality of the food. Sad.
Poor experience. Food was actually tasty but the service was horrible and its basically a college sorority house. There is alot of immature annoying college kids day drinking. They run around the place and bump into people and hover around dining tables. The location is awesome and a really cute area though. Oh yeah and there is litterally no parking.
One of the best lobster rolls I ever had. So tasty. The wings were also excellent. I would have given five stars except the drinks were watered down. Id still go back though..
This is mostly a place to drink in your 20s. We came for food and drinks after the beach and sat outside, where its less chaotic and crowded. The wait for service, food, and drinks is long, so keep that in mind if youre starving. The food is fine.. we ordered boneless wings and pretzel sticks and both were pretty average. I will say our server was very sweet and though overwhelmed, was attentive and nice.
We came for the Mets viewing party. Walking in to this place I wasnt so sure what to expect, but once I entered I really liked the vibe. Our bar tender was super sweet and attentive, the food we got was fresh and delicious, and the drinks ice cold. I wish we had come on a nicer day and gotten to utilize the outdoor area, but theres always next time.
Let’s see, I went to Sunday Brunch with a group of friends for a birthday. It was empty and we were the only table. I ordered the chicken and “Belgian waffles”. This is what I received: BURNT EGGOS and POPCORN CHICKEN NUGGETS. Never in my life have I ever been given EGGO waffles in a restaurant, let only pay the amount of money I did for this disgusting excuse for “Chicken & Waffles”. Makes sense it was empty for brunch. Definitely better off sticking to Swingbellys.**Hope this representation of my EGGO Sunday brunch helps you improve. I mean it’s waffles, it’s not even that many ingredients...
Ur employee (Daniel Paz) costed me a ranked game on PlayStation 😡 (p.s jk I heard the foods good)
Dont waste your time or money. $10 covers and $17 watered down vodka sodas. you can have just as much fun at the jetty or cabana for free and with reasonably priced drinks. For anyone coming into Long Beach...AVOID THIS PLACE LIKE THE PLAGUE!!!!
Ate here twice, drinks are very good. First time I went I had the cold lobster roll, was not a fan at all. The Mexican street corn shrimp is delicious. Second time I went me and my girlfriend sat at the bar and had the ahi tuna wrap and the chicken avocado wrap both delicious. The bartender at the main bar is great!
My friend got kicked out as he was ordering a drink. We were made scapegoats for people around us that were vaping. The manager is clearly coked out, would not recommend at all.
The good: Fun bar and was really nice place to dance. It had a great atmosphere and vibe. Drink prices were reasonable.The Bad: I dont know why there was a cover charge they didnt even have a band. There was a DJ i guess but he was playing terrible mash ups like it was 2009. Also there were not enough bar tenders so the line to get a drink was too long.
These guys were awesome! We had a late start, 10:30pm other restaurants werent serving food anymore. They accommodated us outside. Cant drink on an empty stomach. We had the tastiest wings weve had in a long time. The servers were all on point. Main meal was delightful (Chicken tacos & Avocado chicken wrap. Well definitely be back.
Staff is absolutely amazing but we can’t be playing 80s/90s music on a friday. It needs to be bumping. Thank you.
Food was decent, unfortunately my wife found hair in her food, service wasnt that great, when we walked in and got seated we were not offered water, we were not given any utensils or napkins, we received our food, still no utensils or napkins our waiter had no people skills, the hostess was professional and very pretty, but one of the other hostess took our seats in which our hostess cleaned the table for us, so when we arrived at the next table we had to wait for that table to be cleaned. Not a very good first impression.
Minnesotas hosted a baby shower for us this past weekend. They couldnt have been nicer or worked harder to please us. Everything was perfect. Jay the catering manager is a sweetheart.Food was great and service was excellent.Highly recommend for a party of any sort!!!
Came here the other weekend, ordered10 Traditional wings for $12.50 and Fried Seafood Platter - Sole, shrimp, scallops, french fries & cole slaw for $25. Wings tasted pretty bad, were cold and very small, the seafood platter not bad, I think a bit overpriced for what we’ve got though. Service was okay... waited for food a bit long. I give it a SOLID 3, would I come back or recommend it ? Nope.
Just had a graduation party at Minnesota’s in Long Beach New owners. So easy to work with. We had a private area The food was delicious. George made us everything we wanted with special dietary requests The music and drinks were perfectThe staff could not have been nicer and easier to work with.Will be going back for dinner frequently. Thank you Vinny and George. Party was a huge success!
Great outdoor seating and food selection. Fish tacos and ceasar salad were both delicious. I dont believe the prices were updated on the menu as everything was more expensive when the check came. It also took a while to get the check and literally 3 separate people forgot to bring the to-go container I needed..not sure if they were short staffed but it didnt seem particularly busy. Anyway, those are the only critiques I had. If you are looking for a casual place to chill in the sun, this is it!
Great service but mediocre food.. Ordered my steak medium rare and it came out so well done, I contemplated perhaps sending it to the Ukraine as a weapon of mass destruction.. Shrimp were massacred by overcooking as well.. Wifes pasta was OK but nothing special..This is a great gathering and party place with great atmosphere but it isnt really a restaurant more of a bar.
Unprofessional Security. Seams like security team at the venue working not to secure, but to implement physical skills without instant consequences, realizing that the staff has authority at the premises. We spend around $400 at the bar, paid cover fee, hence went to get some food with intention to come back and have great time. On returning back, they let two of us in, and the other two received refusal with explanation that all exits are final. At the same time security team were passing people in the venue. It than make sense.? After asking they letting whose people in but not us. I received this: “You have two seconds to disappear, if you wound I will kick you out, you pissing me off” ultimately after two second security guard pushed me out of premises.Horrible experience, unjust, and unconscionable experience.Never coming back. Business should not work like this.
Stopped in there with a friend. First issue was that several items on the menu were not offered. Apparently, these items are only available during the winter, yet the summer menu was not yet being handed out. Also, we were charged $2 more per drink and $1 more for the dish we ordered, than stated on the menu. They corrected our check, explaining that the register rings up summer prices which are higher than winter prices.
Been here a couple of times and the service was not that great and seem disorganized. Bad experience with slow service. Took and hour and half last time to get my food and waitress not being attentive. Spend 15 mins at my table before anyone came over before their dinner rush. Lot of hanging out at the bar. Great location and atmosphere, but wish the service was better.
New to town. Great Service. Respectful Employees, Awesome Food, Calm & Fun Atmosphere. Fun looking place and not overwhelming like some bars can be. Very spacious. Looking forward to summer here
Place sucked. Gave it a star because it doesnt let me review it otherwise. Waited an hour and 30 minutes for out food. The chicken tidbits consisted of half of a half bread (Go to Billys beach cafe for best tidbits). The waiter didnt explain exactly what the margaritas deal included, we ended up paying full price for them when the menu said half off. The waiter barely apologized and managment never even approached our table. Honestly this place sucks, only good for the alcoholics in town at night.
My most recent experience was October 3, 2020. It was the most mediocre experience I’ve ever experienced in my entire life and I am apalled to call this restaurant a Long Beach establishment.Not only did the bounces over use their rights as well as degrade my civil rights they also broke the law as well as degraded me and my friends ,I am highly disappointed in this restaurant and it was not what was expected and was very disappointing that this establishment is still in business.i asked to speak to a management or a supervisor and had no response except degrading and emotional degrading remarks from the staff ..especially the security staff . I will be pressing charges for multiple members or of the staff for multiple different changes.I’ve been a local in Long Beach my entire life ,Born and raised and I’ve never been treated like this. I highly recommend do not go to this restaurant! -Long Beach local. I’m hoping a manager or supervisor reaches out to me sooner than later so I can discuss my issues ,Questions, and concerns for everybody’s well-being in satisfaction.If not I will be forced to prioritize pressing charges against the security staff As they disregarded my civil rights as well as broken And disregarded their laws and guidelines that they are required to follow as New York State bounces/official security guards. I hope to speak with a supervisor or franchise manager before this goes any further. I am very upset
POOR SERVICE! Arrived here today with the recommendations of a mate whom has lived in the area a while plus, had my ‘need to visit’ google flag already in place. Once there, not ONE staff member decided to host nor speak to my party. Just left and stopped by the Saloon close by instead. Great food and service there!!
Love the outdoor dining in the summer!
We were seated and ordered pasta for our 3 year old daughter. They brought her meal. No utensils, we asked, they never came. Meanwhile my 3 year old is eating with her fingers. Had to ask a third time , finally got utensils with one bar napkin. Asked for our check and we will never again go back.
Abysmal experience. Food was horrific. Staff was extremely rude. They told me I couldn’t come in because I was wearing gym shorts, however I was wearing dress shorts. Felt like I was singled out. Racist place.
My friends and i built Minnesotas in the sense that we provided the music and the bartenders were absolutely fantastic! Woody💯 Minnesotas was like a home to all off us and we were a family! Ive never ever paid too get inside or this review would really be devastating! Lets start with the security! I didnt know people were still talking steroids and they have to be ex police officers with anger issues😠 And Ladies be ready to be asked for sexual favors for entry😈 As soon as you set foot inside the Fire Department should be called for over capacity🚑🚒 If you can bring ski poles just so you can make it across any wood surfaces because they are covered in Beer and spilled Drinks that are never ever cleaned up🚷 Try getting a Drink😄😄😄 Prisoners off War get a drink quicker! Lets talk about the management🤡🤡🤡 They are never available and do not deescalate any situation🙊🙉🙈 This was my absolute favorite place ever! I mean that with all my Heat💯 Last time i was there was on my Birthday last year! I dont need a crystal ball to predict that it will declare chapter 11 and close its Doors100% The Lawsuits from negligence and physical abuse from security will Bankrup them🏥🏦 Minnesotas i will always have the absolutely Beautiful memories thank you🙏
This was my first visit to Minnesotas since the pre-renovation years. What an improvement! We had a raw seafood platter, which was great, and a few really well-made margaritas. Good job guys, Ill be returning.
Food was good, people watching was even better. I was disturbed when no one knew the words to Blink182 :)Owner is awesome and its clean! Definitely fun
Apparently, the owners of this establshment disliked my review so much that they actually wrote and complained to have it removed!! So, I will try to include as much as I can from my experiences there without having to hear the owners of Minnesotas cry that they didnt like it!!In a word, this place is disgusting!! The food is nasty...greesy, flavorless, and just down right gross...wouldnt feed it to my dog!! The bar always smells like stale beer and smoke...although since they they got trashed from the hurricane and rebuilt, perhaps they actually washed it down!!As fas as the atmosphere...they crank the music so unbelievably loud, you cant hear anybody! Found out from a study why they do this...you drink more when you cant talk to, or hear people! Out of all the bars in long Beach, they are 1 of 2 places that charge a 10$ cover even when theres no band!The staff are arrogant and obnoxious! They still allow people to smoke in there even though its been banned in bars for years! They turn a blind eye to it. When I asked the bouncer to ask the smokers to go outside, he said, the owner said not to stop people and that they only receive a slap on the wrist, so he couldnt or wouldnt do anything! Many other bars and restaurants to choose from in Long Beach...I would HIGHLY suggest going elsewhere!!********** This is the email response I received from the management at MinnesotasDave,We are happy to hear criticism, Dave, but your review just left us feeling frustrated. You insulted our business, instead of offering us room to improve. You insulted our staff as well. After all weve been through with Sandy, were a family, and take feedback seriously but this is not feedback, you have an agenda, a grudge, clearly.So when you are calling our establishment Disgusting and our staff Arrogant and Obnoxious you are insulting every one of our customers and the town.Dave, In short, your an angry, bitter man.......scratch that, your not a man, men dont post cowardly garbage like this.By the way your review has been passed around at Minnesotas and has become quite the hit, so thank you.So you keep being angry at the world, and well keep doing everything we can to make our guests happy and coming back for more.Cheers, and dont forget to like us on facebook.Sincerely,ManagemetSadly, if they had stuck with the first paragraph, and asked me to give them another chance, maybe I would have! Instead, they throw nasty insults to a customer that critiques their establishment! Gives you more insight into this disgusting establishment and the brilliant employees and owner/s!
No organization skills. Waited 1hr and a half for a tidbit child size portion for $14.95. Child portion pasta was $17 for a something that I cook better at home. Management didnt have the curtousey to apologize for the delay or compensate the bill for such horrible service. Honestly giving a 1 star is being polite from my behalf.
Nice atmosphere, but food could be better. The lobster was over cooked and rubbery, the Sangria was served without ice and was warm, and the clams were very gritty.
Beach bar w cool local vibe. 4 stars for staff! Really fun kids-oriented Halloween celebration. Decidedly unposh, it remains one of the nicest bars to visit on the West End.
Wasnt crazy about the atmosphere or the food we ended up going to a restaurant not to far away after but the waitress she was really good during the warmer weather imma give this place another shot to see
Horrible customer service. Our waitress came back maybe twice on her own, we had to ask for her attention all the other times. Lobster was rubbery, wings were a greasy mess. WILL NOT BE BACK.
Good place to go to and grab food during the day. Stay away during the night. Place gets absolutely slammed and youll have to push your way to the bar and hope they even notice you. Place was extremely hot with all the people packed in there.
Love this place. Great energy, service and atmosphere.Could use outside heaters in the spring/fall months for the cooler days or when the sun goes down. The propane type.
Just went for brunch. Everytime we asked for something on the menu we were told they didnt have it.... I get it if youre a bar and brunch isnt your priority, but then dont do it. Waste of time. I felt bad for the hostess/waitress who had to take the heat for the place.
Food is decent, place looks like it hasnt been worked on in 20 years. Shame for such a prime location. 4 stars for the cook n ppl who work there. But other then that the owner or owners needs to step theyre shyt up.
The food was great great prices and they had a server by the name of Ryan who was absolutely adorable on all his suggestions made me my husband and my friends feel very comfortable
Great place to chill in Long Beach NY!
Thats place was my favorite until yesterday, after i finished my meal i left couple dollars tip and was leavingthe place, after 5 min one blond fat waitress came up to me and telling me this with very agressive voice next time ether youll leave me at least 10$ or 20$ Tip or dont come here again . What the hell people? Such a shame, How could you have that kind of waitress in that restaurant. You lost already one costumer today, and imagine how many of us youll loose every other day because of her. Non of my friends will visit that place any more its a big shame
Great band playing..food was delicious nice pleasant atmosphere friendly staff
Great staff and even better food. Anyone on the staff will get you anything you need to improve your experience. Great outdoor area with games and live music.
Very disappointing. Bartender forgot to enter one appetizer, and entered the burger incorrectly. Onion rings were extremely undercooked; onions were raw and batter was still wet.
Review just based on quality of food. I wouldnt come here if just looking for a good meal. You come here for drinks and maybe some bar food but nothing more.
Poor quality food, it us kust like fast food...expensive not impress..service was poor..
I went here with my cousin,I was here about 2hrs having a good time for what it was and so I went to the bar in the back on the left when I bought 3 drinks,the bar back quickly threw a box on the counter knocking over all 3drinks spilling it on me,it was really loud music in there,so I was trying to let him know he did that,he started to yell and curse at me,I looked to my right and a bouncer 3times my size grabs me and shoves me out the side door and push me into greasey water,I called the cops and asked them to look at the cameras,the bouncers said they didnt work.what a suprise!!! Needless to say the bar back likes to talk his trash cause he thinks hes safe cause of the bouncers, the bar tender is a b+%$h,and the bouncers think they have the authority a cop has,and the cops back them up just cause they assume if your in there your drinking. And then they have an elaborate camera system that doesnt work! Amazing!!!!!Record on your phone when ever your out people!!!!!this place sucks!a lot of kids here too.
As a rule, this has been my least favorite place for the last 20 years (*whippersnappers --- even when I was a whippersnapper) THAT being said...Whiskey Road is incredible AND Im a groupie so as long as you book them, Im in.
Just reopened...needs fine tuning. Wasnt happy with baked clams. Bar didnt seem well stocked. They were also out of some menu items
We were there during the week so it was kinda slow. Bartender was on top of things. Never had to wait for a drink & barely had to ask. Eye contact & a raise of the glass and shed fill it up
Worst bar on long Island
Simply amazing staff is great. The food is delicious. Highly recommend stopping in.
Great atmosphere, buzzing and quick service! Cant beat that
$14 for a high noon. Food is no better and probably worse than any other spots in the west end. GO ANYWHERE ELSE
The DJ doesnt shut up, he keeps yelling in to the mic all night. After a couple hours of partying the floor turns in to a mess of drinks, garbage, and vomit.
Minnesotas is a fun restaurant and bar with outside seating, and delicious food. The staff is very friendly, and the restaurant is clean.
Went around 8:30 pm, on a SATURDAY night and it was surprisingly pretty empty 😊. Their pretzels and cheeze appetizer was delicious! 😋
Some of the staff in orange shirts are extremely rude and degrading, especially considering it was towards a 24 year old female, rest of staff and experience 5/5
This staff is very nice and the food is really good. Good place to eat after a long day at the beach
Don’t know if he still works there but Peter is the worst employee I’ve ever seen anywhere. Racist, rude, and just an all around terrible person
We won an open bar here and there were no gimmicks; unlimited drinks and all the appetizers that were promised were available and unlimited
Awesome place to grab a drink and watch a game. Seats are super uncomfortable though.
It was ok..nothing out if the norm but very pleasant atmosphere. Nice waitress
Newly revamped! The food was excellent! The service was very friendly and efficient! Highly recommend.
Management has brought a new concept to Minnesotas with great food throughout the week, improved menu, and a much nicer bar!
Was a cool place although we had to wait nearly two hours for a table when they said 30 mins
Nice bar to dance and have drinks in Long Beach. Theres live music here too which is always good!
Great food, great cocktails, great service.. we will definitely be back to this establishment!!!
Great service good food nice location cant wait post covid for music at night.
This place bops weeknights and weekends. Summer crowds are fun.
Not a bad place to go what they need to do is hose the place down once in awhile where the dumpster is in the backyard the sidewalks and everything smells like a dirty garbage truck its okay to take the hose out once in awhile and washed the place down clean is a good thing
Awesome drink and dinner specials nightly this place has been a favorite of mine for years
Someone fell to the ground after a fight and rushed the guy off the floor rather than letting trained doctors attend to him. Last time I ever attend this bar
Great comfort food in quaint West End of Long Beach. Reasonable prices. Recommend.
Great relaxing spot for wings & a beer. Especially enjoyed the open space with the little fountain. Super relaxing.
Great food. Good live music. Impecabke service. Great beach venu.
Good fair prices, customer service was great.. friendly environment. Pickles could be better
Very good food, but can get crowded. Their drink specials are very good.
Excellent service, the manager, John, and waitress, Rebecca, were attentive to detail. Food spot on.
You have to try the shrimps. The best!! Prices are decent and the have fresh and chill beers.
Dj was awesome tonight 5/27/23 :)
Its a pretty popular place. Djs on Saturday and there is a dancefloor. A staple in long beach
Great place to bring your family during the daytime! After dark much younger crowd, with live music on the weekend!
Is more of a place for drinks rather than food. DO NOT have the Sangria it is awful!
You can’t keep me waiting 1hr, and bring me a cold burger. Very disappointed
Friendly staff. Delicious && juicy burgers. && their fries are to die for.
Social distancing between parties was enforced and $2 tacos were delish
Ok food, nice service probably better as a bar than restaurant
Amazing food and chef is amazing. chef is also handsome!!!!
Jess Our server was amazing great attitude had an amazing beer
Live music, food & staff were excellent!
Decor seating is nice, food service is a zero
Amazing food, huge portions great staff.
Great ambiance
Great place just to hang out and relax customer service was outstanding and pretty good food
Awesome foood.... great service.... GM Ryan shes awesome !!
Sunday band and specials are amazing
Foods okay, little pricey and took awhile to be served
Decent but expensive lobster rolls.

Friendly staff, not very careful about cleanliness. Mediocre food.
Very good food
