Best Casual Restaurants in St. Louis Park

Delicious food!!! One of our favorites!! This restaurant has such a fun ambience. Great for special occasions and visitors too! Or a date night! Anything fun.

We had a wonderful dinner. Our server Megan was fabulous and we were visited by the manager Mark who made sure all was well. We really liked the artichoke dip and my filet was cooked perfectly. Thank you to the entire team for a fabulous night!

Went to watch the Vikings Game and The Loop made it a great experience...despite the Vikes loss!

Wonderful experience and will definitely be back! Started with sticky ribs to share (except me, not GF), I had a wedge salad - both were amazing. Best wedge I’ve had& ribs fell off the bone good. Had filets and salmon with mashed potatoes and broccolini sides. Steaks were best we’ve had (better than Manny’s or Murray’s IMO), salmon was a bit chewy & miso flavor was “interesting” with salmon. Not my daughter’s favorite but still good. Service was great & as many have mentioned it is not quiet. Hard to hear sometimes. Casual dining with great food. Came home smelling like I was at a campfire though.

If you're going to Punchbowl for the food, expect to be disappointed. If you're going because there's an arcade and activities and they just happen to have food too, then it's not too bad. The staff were amazing at being responsive and helpful. 10/10 staff! Chicken & Waffle was pretty unappetizing. Large slab of chicken that was tough and chewy, difficult to cut even with the provided steak knife, waffle was as bland as a two star hotel waffle, and the "hot honey" drizzle was meh. Strawberries weren't too bad but being out of season there were plenty of tough bitter ones. The Hot honey & syrup helped. Burgers were OK. Nothing to write home about, but inoffensive. It's pretty hard to screw up a burger but I've absolutely found places that can do it. Thankfully not here. Fries were thin, crispy but not in the good way, but plenty of them. Think McDonalds fries if they somehow overcooked them significantly. The Pork Belly BLT sandwich was difficult to eat as a sandwich, as the number of toppings inside the sandwich caused all the fillings to just spill out of the somewhat soggy bun. Eating with a fork and knife was the only way to make it through. Decent combo of flavors though. The appetizers were good though. Pretzel bites were very enjoyable. Go for the games, get some appetizers to snack on while playing the arcade cabinets, claw machines, and bowling, and find a better meal elsewhere.
