Poor management, very disappointing. The Bloody Mary bar was half empty, the lady there apologized and directed us to tell the waitress and they will take care of us, when we told the waitress, she said that the manager did not approve it. We asked to talk to the manager, and we she came to us (10 minutes later), she was very rude about it, and didn’t want to charge us a price of a regular Bloody Mary and insisted on a full price... we were a returning customers- never again. We completely under that you may run out of things in the restaurant, what we don’t understand is: 1. How come you don’t update the staff? And most important- 2. How do you allow yourself to charge full price for half a serving??
Fun atmosphere and great food! I recommend the mimosa bar.
Thank you for your kind words; we're so happy that you enjoyed the food, the ambiance, and the mimosa bar. I hope we get the chance to serve you again soon! -Nate Gerdes Hell's Kitchen
I would definitely recommend for breakfast! The ranchero is amazing! This last time, we decided to do lunch, my husband's cuban sandwich was very dry and I got the burger with cheese in the middle, I was actually surprised how small it was, I was thinking I would be taking half home, not! Because of that, over priced! Server was awesome!
Thank you for your support and your honest appraisal of your experiences, both about what you loved (our service, our breakfast) as well as what you felt could have been improved. We really do value candid feedback and use it to ensure that we're always living up to our reputation. If you have anything else you'd like to add, please don't hesitate to reach out, and I hope you'll consider returning in the future! -Nate Gerdes Hell's Kitchen

Our server was great but our meal took forever to come out to the point it ruined our experience.
Thank you for visiting and for sharing your feedback with us; I'm so sorry that your meal took so long to come out! We'll be up-front that this particular Saturday was record-shatteringly busy for us and even with the intense prepwork our staff does for our busy weekend services, we got a bit bogged down at times. Please accept our honest apologies and know that this is not our usual standard of service efficiency. I hope you'll consider giving us another shot! -Nate Gerdes Hell's Kitchen
Valentines weekend, with a private party in the bar but it was still fairly quiet and service fantastic.
Thank you so much for joining us this past weekend; we're thrilled to hear that you had fantastic service and I hope you'll consider returning in the future! -Nate Gerdes Hell's Kitchen
Love the ambiance and excellent service, but where are the vegan options? Offering the Impossible burger is not enough.
Thank you for visiting and for your kind words about our ambiance and our service, but I'm sorry you felt there weren't enough vegan options. While it's true that we don't have a vast array of options for vegans, we do offer items other than the Impossible Burger that can be prepared vegan with minor omissions or substitutions. Beyond that, we're always looking for menu feedback so we can better serve our guests, and we'll take your request to heart. -Nate Gerdes Hell's Kitchen
Very cute place. The service was wonderful and the food was great too! Juicy Lucifer and tater tots were delicious. The cheese curds with the hot pepper jelly was amazing. We also enjoyed the Pecan Caramel roll for dessert, that is a show stopper.
Wish we lived closer.
Thank you so much for your kind words about our food, our service, and our restaurant in general. Even if you don't live nearby, we sincerely appreciate you choosing to visit us and we hope you'll consider returning next time you do find yourself in our neck of the woods. -Nate Gerdes Hell's Kitchen

My wife and I celebrated Valentine’s Day a day late and we whent for the Bloody Mary bar and a breakfast item. I have never experienced anything but the best at Hells Kitchen. We were sat right in front of the stage and the band was amazing, we didn’t have to scream or even at an elevated level. I will always enjoy going.
Thank you so much for your continued support, and for including our brunch as part of your Valentine's celebration. We love helping couples celebrate even outside of the day itself, and we're thrilled to hear that you had a wonderful time. I hope we get the chance to serve you again soon! -Nate Gerdes Hell's Kitchen
We went for the Bloody Mary bar. Was fun, maybe a touch overpriced, but fun! I read many reviews about the lemon ricotta pancakes, so we had to try them. At $14.95 for just three pancakes, a bit steep for pricing and they were just ok. They didn’t come with anything either so it was just these for breakfast.
Service was great. Music was fine.
Thank you so much for visiting and for sharing your experience. We're thrilled that you had a fun time overall, but we also appreciate you taking the time to share what you thought was great as well as where you saw room for improvement. Honest feedback is how we make sure we're always at the top of our game, and it's a huge help for us. I hope you'll consider returning again in the future! -Nate Gerdes Hell's Kitchen
Wonderful as usual
Thank you for your continued support; we hope we get the chance to serve you again soon! -Nate Gerdes Hell's Kitchen
My only negative is I wish this was located in Chicago! Hostess awesome! Waitress amazing! Food was so good I wish I ate here every meal! Great decor, great service, awesome food. Great vibe here. What an amazing place! Great job!
Wow, what incredible compliments! We sincerely appreciate you taking the time to visit us and to share your experience, and I'll be sure to pass these wonderfully kind words on to our entire staff, including your server. I hope we get the chance to serve you again next time you're in Minneapolis! -Nate Gerdes Hell's Kitchen

Not the best service and the food was just okay. I would definitely go agin for the ambiance but it would not be my first choice. I loved the live music!

Great restaurant! Wonderful food and unique ambiance that you can't get other places. Drinks are also amazing and unique. I always request to be seated in the live music area because the bands they have are always great.
Thanks so much for your kind words and for your continued support. We're so glad you love our food, drinks, ambiance, and live music, and we can't wait to serve you again. -Nate Gerdes Hell's Kitchen
Sound quality of the music is excellent. Food is incredible. I applaud the staff for accommodating last minute reservations on Valentine's Day.
We're so glad you were able to get in for a Valentine's celebration!

Thank you for your kind words and we hope we get the chance to serve you again! -Nate Gerdes Hell's Kitchen
Excellent food and service on Valentine's evening! We were astonished at how quickly our dinner came out, especially since it was a busy night. Prime rib and ribeye steak were made to order and very flavorful. The kitchen seemed well staffed and tables were turning comfortably. We never felt rushed or crowded. The peanut butter ice cream was delicious as a small dessert. We were very pleased with everything about our dining experience!
Thank you so much for choosing us as part of your Valentine's celebration. Our staff has a lot of experience making Valentine's Day special and they know how to truly give an unforgettable dinner on such a special occasion. I hope we get the chance to serve you again in the future! -Nate Gerdes Hell's Kitchen
They got us in early for lunch prices were reasonable and the food was delicious. The wait staff was friendly and went above and beyond. Will go back!
Thank you for visiting us and thank you so much for your kind words about our food and staff. We can't wait to serve you again! -Nate Gerdes Hell's Kitchen
We waited 50 minutes after our order for the food to arrive. One salad and three sandwiches. We almost walked out. Very disappointing.
Thank you for visiting and sharing your experience; I'm so sorry that the service was so slow! We pride ourselves in efficient and timely service, and I'll forward your message to our management so they can check into what may have happened. If you have any further details you'd like to share, please know that we're all ears. -Nate Gerdes Hell's Kitchen
There’s nothing bad about Hell’s Kitchen, but there’s to write home about either. Decidedly mediocre.

Great food unique atmosphere. Must have the peanut butter!!!!
Thank you so much for your kind words, especially about our peanut butter… we’ve been serving it since the day we opened and we still make it fresh in-house every single day using the same recipe as we did back in 2002. We can’t wait to see you again! -Nate Gerdes Hell's Kitchen
Excellent waitstaff.

I hope you’ll consider coming again next time you’re in the area! -Nate Gerdes Hell's Kitchen
The most unique restaurant I have ever been to! It's a must for anyone visiting Minneapolis and the surrounding area. This is not affiliated with the TV show and that's a good thing. Amazing 👌🙌
Thank you! We've always been a bit out-of-the-ordinary and we're glad that we can continue to serve up great food and a unique experience. It's true that we're not affiliated with Chef Ramsay, and we're happy to keep marching to the beat of our own drum. I hope we get the chance to serve you again soon! -Nate Gerdes Hell's Kitchen
I am a return customer and I love Hells Kitchen. The staff is friendly and helpful. We had children in our group and out server explained things to them and helped them make a menu selection. Can’t wait to go back!
Thank you so much for your compliments! I’m sure biased but I must agree with your comments about our staff; we’re fortunate to have the absolute best restaurant staff in the Twin Cities, and we can't wait to get the chance to serve you again. -Nate Gerdes Hell's Kitchen

It was a wonderful atmosphere and great place to hang out with friends/family.
Thanks so much for coming in and giving us your rating; I’m glad you had a good experience. If there’s anything we can improve, please feel free to let us know! -Nate Gerdes Hell's Kitchen
I ordered the Linguine and I don't eat much but when they brought me back the plate it wasn't even enough to feed my 3 year old. We also ordered the BBQ nachos and there was literally a teaspoon full of meat that was on the plate (they hid it under the cheese). Lastly my husband ordered the chicken and that was burnt we had to pill off the crust and ask for barbecue sauce to take off some of the burnt flavor, we ate it because we were hungry and had a show to catch so we didn't have enough time to leave and find some where else and wait for it to be prepared.
I was so disappointed in the food at Hell Kitchen I literally felt like it was Hell in that kitchen. I will never go back there and I do not recommend anyone to go there. Despite the food our waiter was nice that was the only good experience that we had.
I’m so sorry that you had such a negative experience, but I’d like to thank you regardless for taking the time to visit us and give us your rating. We sincerely appreciate customer feedback (even negative feedback) and use it to directly improve our guests' experience, and specifics really help us target areas we can change for the better. If you have anything further you'd like to share with us, know that we're all ears. -Nate Gerdes Hell's Kitchen
Nice setting, not to loud. I was able to have a nice conversation without speaking over the noise
Thank you for your kind words; we're glad you were able to enjoy conversation with your companions and that you enjoyed your meal. I hope we get the chance to serve you again! -Nate Gerdes Hell's Kitchen
Had to send Impossible Burger back. First avocado on it was nasty. Waitperson was very apologetic.
Thank you for visiting and for sharing your experience with us! I'm so sorry that your food initially came out less-than-appealing, but I'm glad to hear that our staff was apologetic and (hopefully) worked hard to make things right. I hope you'll consider returning next time you're in the area! -Nate Gerdes Hell's Kitchen
