We stopped in for bingo and dinner last minute. The food was better than I expected. It came our fast and warm and we enjoyed bingo!

We arrived for dinner, and the place wasnt as packed as it was an hour after. Server came by after about 30 minutes or so to refill my cup of water. We arrived before folks at the bar, and tables around us. The reserved table was given their orders before ours. We had appetizers, a burger, and Reuben. We sat for over an hour to finally get one of the 4 person order - my burger. SMHServer came out to say it was because it was packed busy. Packed busy way after we sat down.Burger smelled good, my order came out with fries instead of onion rings. Server corrected it right away, but we still had to sit and wait for the wings and Reuben. HahahahaWings - mango habanero, Cajun, Sriracha, garlic parmesan - over cooked, and super crunchy. Either the frying oil was turnt up high to cook fast, or they just forgot to check on the wings. My kids can make better wings.2 hours later for our to go boxes, and tab - only to have our tabs incorrect.If I could give a negative star reviews for service, I would. Didnt want to leave it blank. I didnt want to tip the poor service, but was nudged to - I wouldnt have.

Always great service. This restaurant/bar has a little bit of everything. Pool tables downstairs along with an air hockey table darts a few other games. Hoggs has a deck for smokers (its heated in the winter!). For those nice days, there is a deck where you can eat/drink (no smoking). Pull tabs and electronic gambling games. Also, depending on the night, there is bingo or karaoke. The food is always delicious. Hoggsbreath is a friendly place. Its changed a lot since not being a nightclub. Hoggs has some of the best servers and bartenders!!! I highly recommend checking this place out. If youve been there before or its your first time.

Ive been here a few times, its pretty cool place to visit on Saturday nights for bingo, decent music , service is ok , last time she really didnt check on us as much as I would like when we wanted more drinks , but its ok , she probably was busy, food is pretty good , coming here for cosmic bingo is really fun, with the games they have its 20 per card cash if you go with your friends I suggest reservations because that joint be popular.

I havent been here in ages. Great dance floor, amazing line dancing. Thank you to the lady that taught some steps early on.Loved the mix of peeps. Swing dancing, line dancing. Super fun.Was a bit surprised my NA beer was more expensive than a craft tap beer.The male bartender was gracious with a pitcher of water for the dancers. Thank you for that!!

Great place to hang out. Theyve been in business since 1976. I admit the last time I was there was in my 20s but I stopped in for a quick visit and I cant say enough about them.The staff is ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC. The bartender (Brittany) remembered my name after 1 visit. There bar staff is ON POINT.The food is great and priced fairly. All day breakfast is just a bonus.Come to play bingo on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. You wont be disappointed.

My fam of 3 had the most wonderful Mothers Day dinner there. The staff was so sweet and my 6 year old made pals with all the older fellows on the patio. The chicken tacos and cream cheese Lucy burger were delicious. It was such a friendly environment.

Super fun place to go early in the evening. They do close at midnight, and usually people dip out as the events stop around 11:30, so going in late is not the type of bar. Events are really fun though, bingo was awesome, and looking forward to doing country dancing.

Its surprisingly large. Even if the lot looks full, chances are good that you can get a table immediately. Service is always good, and theyve got great specials. Especially happy hour! Its a great place to grab a burger or a couple tacos, and their chili is awesome. The biggest surprise was the salads, though. I didnt expect them to be that good at a bar & grill type place. If youre in the area, you should definitely check out the hoggsbreath. You wont be disappointed!

Great find for juicy Lucys & ribs! Our waitress was one of the best we have ever had! The juicy Lucys are awesome and the ribs were perfect fall off the bone with great sauce! We will be back! One word of caution the only bathrooms in the place are in the basement so you do have to navigate stairs and the bathrooms are showing their age...

Some great darts and pool going down in the basement as well as a top notch bartender! Didn’t spend much time upstairs where they were playing cosmic bingo. It looked pretty coo but that wasn’t the plans. Some fire Chicken and cheese curds to round out the drinks made it a great night. Would recommend

We had a table of 12 and one server for breakfast last weekend, and when I say she was incredible, thats a total understatement to the level of service she provided us! She remembered everything, was super patient with us as we roamed around and socialized, made it a point to frequently check in with us and refill beverages and did it all with a smile on her face and acted as if we were her only table. For the service alone, its a 6 out of 5 experience. The benedict was the best Ive had in a long time. First timer who will be back!

My husband ordered the 4 piece Alaskan cod and fries the first plate that came out the fish and fries were burnt. Absolutely gross they remade his food second plate was better. My step son had the house steak well done with fries. The steak was sent out blue rare with burnt fries. They took it back remade the fries and put the steak back on the grill and still served it back to the table as medium done. I had the rib plate with mashed potatoes and gravy. The ribs were not cooked throughly and the mashed potatoes and gravy were cold. I refused to eat anything else that came out of that kitchen! Absolutely gross!!!

Here for work and been at a hotel the last 2 months. This place is open fairly late and delivers to the area. The food is DELICIOUS and fresh everytime I get it (temperature is colder when recieved because of travel from door dasher, so not on them). Juicy burgers and wings! 10/10

Update: They are handicap accessible now!!!!!!! The recent remodel added a ramp to the front door and and upstairs bathroom!!!!I can finally come with my family too!!!! I highly recommend this place! They finally have it all!Previously::The food is amazing and the atmosphere is fun and relaxed. The only reason I didn’t give it five stars is that the place isn’t handicap accessible. If you can’t do stairs, you have to enter through a back door to get to the dining area. There also isn’t a bathroom on the main floor. The only one is down stairs and there is no elevator. So if you can’t do stairs you can’t use the bathroom while you are there. I loved the food and the service- for those with mobility issues, I recommend take out only.

I had fun, dancing and meeting new people. The dj is pretty good and the drink specials are great for the non-ballers! LOL Security is a priority and I have not seen a fight yet. Good mix of black, white, Spanish, and Asian. Not a lot of leg room when busy, but they have pool tables downstairs. Great mid-week place to stop for a bite, great weekend spot for some dancing. Bring valid ID, and prepare for the metal detector and purse search. Grab a smoke on either patios (upstairs is heated), or play pull tabs. Come out and party with me!

I’ve driven past this place a thousand times. Decided to pop in and check it out on a whim. It’s a total gem. Good tap beer selection and stick to your ribs diner fare. Steak tips with crispy onions were great.It’s a a time capsule. These places are disappearing from our world. When you find a good one keep going back so they can keep the legacy for the next generation.

The food was awful, cheese curds were like rocks, and arrived after the sandwich, which was undercooked chicken, we received onion rings, we didnt order, they forgot the flatbread completely, when they did bring it, I had requested the jalapeño on the side, but of course they were all over the top. Tried to eat it, but just couldnt. service was terrible, she didnt offer anything else, except more drinks. Owner did take care of all the food since we literally took 3 bites, but we still had to pay for our 2 beers. We will not be returning.

Went there for a lunch which was v nice, the waitress Pang was so friendly and welcoming. I had the chili and the wings which were both super good. Ive been there at night too, pretty okay but Im also younger and the bar at night is somewhat tailored for an older than 30 crowd. But still fun!

It was a Saturday early afternoon at around 11:00 and a young boys baseball team and parents show up! There were around 25 -30 of us there and the place was understaffed, but our waitress was a super hero! There was one bartender and one waitress and they managed to serve us all food and drinks in an adequate time frame to make sure we made it to our second game on time. The food was great, the service was phenomenal! She was calm, patient and understanding of the chaos that came with our 3rd grade boys! Thank you for an awesome lunch!

We stopped in on a Monday at 3 PM. Food was fresh, hot, and nice portions! Good happy hour deals including $2 off apps, $3 rails, and $3.50 tap beers from 3-7PM. Didnt get to experience any music or events, but there are pool tables and dart boards in the basement. Would go back to experience bingo as advertised at 8 PM on Saturdays. Giving 4 stars instead of 5 as the waitress didnt welcome us or say hello, just went straight to asking what we wanted to drink.

This place is like a slice of heaven! A very diverse atmosphere and theres a little something for everybody. Bartenders are very quick, and the servers know their Menu! I consider this place my home away from home. Shout-outs go to Pang, Mariah, Alex, Katy, Tony, Cory, Brittany, Ravi, and last but not least the Big man at the door that keeps the place safe Mr Wade! Once you go there, you will feel like youre part of the community. Im Rick James and I approve this Google Review!

Hogs breath is been the best experience everytime I go or I bring my family. We love the food service is unbelievably pleasant. The only issue that sometimes can be challenging for my family is the handicap accessibility. And the location of the only bathroom. But the patio great place to be in the summer, continuous breakfast thats always a winner! And dont forget to stop in to play BINGO, Im get your raffle ticket for your door prize!Respectfully,Leisa Leuthard

A bit of a dive bar. upstairs is quaint. dark but nice seating. it seems small until you have to go to the bathroom and go downstairs. pool tables and a small bar down there as well. the food is okay. wouldnt get anything other than a sandwich but if you order right you might be impressed. I have a feeling this bar gets packed at night. Ive only been here for lunch and happy hour so Im not sure of its night life. but if feels like it would be a good spot.

Went there for a private event on new years eve and I gotta say it was great. It was more fun than I thought it was gonna be. The staff went above and beyond, the space was comfy and well designed and the owner made sure that everyone that was there felt welcomed. If you’re ever in that part of town and wanna stop in at great place try out the Hoggsbreath, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.

One of the older bar and restaurants in the Minneapolis area. It had been around since 1976. It has an older style decor to the place which gave me a comfortable laid back feeling. There is a downstairs game room with pool tables and dart boards as well as another bar. The nachos that we ordered were phenomenal. Homemade nacho chips are what made it over the top. Fantastic little place and a must see..

Our waitress had been there 5 months and didnt know prices. Accidentally found out they had two for ones at 9 p.m. she muttered something to us as she delivered drinks and kept walking several times! the only restroom is in the lower level so you have to use the stairs every time. The place looked clean and newer. Downstairs pretty nice game room 6 pool tables and 3 dart games. Tables were all busy even though though establishment wasnt.

Great music could be a bigger area especially the dance floors love the fact that they have a separate floor for the pool tables and that they have a nice great big patio for smoking outside or just to relax and still hear the music but they need to build onto their building 2 hold the capacity that they get of clientele it just gets way too packed too fast and its hard to move around. Otherwise great atmosphere decent experience

Nine times out of 10 I get treated amazing there the last time I was there I actually was ignored by one of the bartenders absolutely have no clue why.

Played bingo on a Saturday afternoon into the evening. Cheap beer and decent bar food. Always have a good time. It can be difficult using the restrooms having to navigate the flight of steps if youre older or have bad knees.

We hadnt been here before. Two of us had soup and burgers, one had fries and a burger. Both soups were excellent...a surprise! I would like to try the Walleye Fingers! Its only $13.

This is a pretty standard sports bar. You will get exactly what you would expect. Relatively cheap drinks, sports on all the TVs, ect. They do have free popcorn which I really enjoy, not to mention an entire basement full of pool tables. There are 3 separate bars for when it gets crowded, and a dance floor I can only assume is used for weekend night dance parties.

Ordered on doordash and was pleasantly surprised. It was fresh and hot. We tried the juicy Lucy. I gave 4 stars because the cheese was mostly outside of the burger and wasnt enough. It was still good though. Also didnt realize fries came with the burger, so we ordered waffle fries with seasoned sour cream and a side of ranch. They didnt give the sour cream and the ranch was subpar. All in all was good though. Will probably give another shot!

Ive been here at nighttime on Saturdays for the bar & dj. DJ plays great music, they also show the videos on the TVs. They have a good dance floor right in front of the dj booth, tons of tables -high top & regular & 2 bars on each side. Security is a bit much to go through but like that they pat people down & they also take your pic when u give your ID & have to stand on a step while they do it. Lots of stairs in this place, great 2 level outside deck & good sized parking lot. Downstairs is pool tables, darts, a small bar & bathroom. Great atmosphere, a mix of a variety people from all walks of life, never had an issue. Ill be back to dance & drink, starts to get busy after 11p.

I was excited to come here and try a new bar. My boyfriend and I came in and there was a sign that said please seat yourself, so we did. Over 10 minutes goes by and nobody even acknowledges that we are there. Nobody greets us at all. Keep in mind it was not busy either; there were maybe 4 other tables taken inside. Needless to say I dont think we will be coming back here again. Wish I could rate this 0/5 because thats how I left feeling.

4 of us went into Hoggsbreath because the place next door Mama Ts was not serving food. When we got there we found out they had reservations for bingo and the bouncer found us a table that was not claimed yet. We ordered 2 sides of chips and queso (not hot enough cheese and too thick) to start. I would also like to mention that they use the dyed chips that almost anywhere Ive been taste stale, but they werent bad. I just prefer my white/yellow corn chips for taste and crunch. Then for dinner we ordered a steak sandwich, juicy Lucy, three alarm burger and a bacon cheeseburger. All of these entrees we subbed waffle fries and seasoned sour cream instead of kettle chips.**heres where it gets the loss of stars mainly**First, the juicy Lucy came out with NO CHEESE IN IT!!! WHAT!?!?!?!Secondly, the seasoned sour cream was over seasoned. It was like they made it perfectly and then they doused the top with a layer of nothing but seasoned salt.Also 9.75 for a long island in a whiskey glass? If you serve long island iced tea, you are supposed to put it in a larger glass. Not the same as a rum/coke. The bill was split 2 ways and my half was still $104 and I left a cash tip because the waitress was awesome. If there was any reason I go back it would be for her. She even told us that the long island was 9.75 and not really a good buy, but I had to see for myself and I should have listened but the drinks were mixed well.While we stayed for bingo they charge $20 per packet (10 quick games) in which I guess Im biased because Ive never paid for bingo at a bar/restaurant before. Places Ive been have a progressive jackpot and 2 ways to win per game before that round is over(drinko/bargo). They gave out $78 winnings to those that did win and with $20 cost plus food/drinks... did they really win? At the end the jackpot on blackout was $675, so I cant say that they didnt put some cash back into their people, I am just used to giving people a reason to stay until the end and more so a reason to come back for next game.

Review №101

Good Happy hour prices and a huge deck, two big plusses!!! However the food is mediocre at best, and table service was slow in spite of several wait staff serving the patio. We had the avocado Turkey wrap and the buffalo chicken wrap, both of which appeared huge, but was almost all shredded lettuce. Another of our group had a caesar salad, which was mostly iceberg lettuce. The wild rice soup obviously not freshly poured, as it had a skin on it. So, for a fair patio experience, where ya just want to have a few cold beers and hang out, Id say do it. But for food, theres definitely some good places nearby.

We went for my friends birthday a few months ago and the experience still angers me so I decided to write a review. The owner was 100% rude and shady. Their advertised specials have a catch and our waitress was horrible. Half way through our experience she stopped showing up at our table. After waiting 45 mins we finally asked and the owner just said O she went home or something and looked away from us (he was standing near us drinking). Didnt find another server to help us or apologize or anything. At that point, I asked the owner why they weren’t honoring the advertised special for people celebrating their b-day (which was a deciding factor in going there) and he was argumentative, discourteous, and uninterested in our experience being positive. The manager tried to savage our celebration after being ruined by the owner and his foulness, but unfortunately we left disappointed.

If you seek that bar experience from the 90s, youll find it alive and well here. Food menu has great depth. Friendly and interesting staff. Recommed.

Great people and good food. Music is great. I have been going there over 15 years and have always been treated with respect and fairness. I would recommend this place if you are up for dancing and good food.

Service was ok. Our party had the french dip (sad), the avocado bacon burger (also sad), jalapeno pretzels (kinda gross, cheese inside makes it doughy), and a half order of wings (why do they even offer a half order, it was so small I seriously thought it was a joke). The sign out front is really fricken cool, though. Do not recommend for food, drinks are cheap. Definitely a fitting name, the place has a really dank smell (and not that good dank if you feel me).

Dont go out often and went to celebrate a friend. Drinks were cool just wish they had a variety in music. But mellow environment.

Service was not good, apps came out with entree, food was wrong from what we ordered,server didnt offer refills let alone check on us. Kids food came out last. I think this place is only good for drinks and bingo!!!

Review №113

Casual bar fare and drinks. Prices are quite high compared to the quality of the food. If youre looking for good food, Id look elsewhere. But if youre looking for a good local dive bar feel, you cant do wrong with Hoggsbreath.

Cool spot for darts and pool but stay away from their bogus chicken quesadillas. Would’ve given 5 stars but that chicken quesadilla lacked chicken and they’re too expensive, even during Happy Hour, to not have the meat I paid for. I usually take pics but I was too distraught.

Good food, average service, but the place was way too noisy. The boisterous behavior of patrons may be pleasant for some and thats fine, but not for us. Doubt well be back.

Terrible service, came in for a quick lunch. Took over 1.5 hours to get our nachos, at that time she said that our flatbread will be another 25 minutes. Then there fix was to comp 1 beer, Not one for both of us. Just a joke. And will not be back

My to go order through Bite Squad was completely incorrect. It was like they did whatever they wanted. Sides were added that weren’t selected. The wrong soup was included, and items missing. I will not be ordering from here again.

Great place to eat with fantastic burgers (specials on Mondays). Marty the bartender is a hard working, straightforward dude who makes a mean drink. Billiards in the basement fyi

Review №123

Place is horrible, I try going in with a jumpsuit on and they wouldn’t let me in...they have no restrictions on jumpsuit, but they do have restrictions on sweatsuit. I was not wearing no sweatsuit, I had on a one piece jumpsuit/romper and they deny me at entrance. Horrible because it’s a bar and they want these female to be out in the cold with mini skirt on. The gentlemen kept radioing over that it’s a sweatsuit, and I kept telling him it’s a one piece jumpsuit and he just ignore me. I will not be going back and spend my money on a place that deny me for wearing my one piece jumpsuit so I could be warm as a female, a women. If I could give it zero star I would because I got in with sweat pants and a white tee before, so how they gonna deny me entry for my non sweatsuit, one piece jumpsuit.

Review №126

They have a strict dress code and insisted I remove my Kufi which I wear for religious reasons. They were gentle in their insistence, but persistent and decidedly inflexible about their rule. It was also really loud. Im sure if I were the nightclub type it may not have bothered me, but Im too grown for all that noise.

Had to pay a cover to get in. Went outside for a minute to grab a jacket for a member of our group. Came back and I had to pay the cover again. Security guy said it was the policy and that there was nothing he could do about it. Wife escorted a member of our group who was being picked up out of the bar later that night. Same security guy let her back in after she pleaded with him about going outside for not even a minute to make sure her friend got in the car. He let her back w/o paying because she was cute. Thankful we didnt have to pay again, but sexist much? I guess their policy doesnt apply to everyone. Wont be going back.On a funny note, I talked to the same security guard later that night thanked him for letting my wife get back in w/o paying. He didnt get my sarcasm...

Went there yesterday at about 8:30pm and sat at a table outside on the deck. Sat for 20 minutes and not one waitstaff even acknowledged me or anything. So I got up and went somewhere where I could get halfway decent service. I will never go here again. Very poor service.

I went there today with my girlfriend. Upon arrival, a sign states please seat yourself. So we did. And then waited... And waited... And waited... We waited for 15 minutes with no service, so we left. Its hard to rate service thats non existent. If 0/5 was a possible score then Id confidently rate the hoggsbreath 0/5.
