Side Chick

We got a variety of things to try out. Variety app sampler included wings choose bone in or out and sauce, tenders choose sauce, fried cheese cubes, string onion fries, and some veggies on the side. We also got “Legs for Days” which SAYS it’s 2 jumbo chicken legs but really, they’re normal size. Just cut out and flattened. Also comes with fries and coleslaw. With all that said, the food just wasn’t that great. The “jumbo chicken legs” were dry and bland. As for the bone in wings in the apps, I got Njim Spice and it was way too salty. Not a good balance. Everything else was sub par and as expected. This isn’t a place I would go for food, but it’s in a good, convenient location, and the staff is amazing. So I’d probably come here again. The slushy alcohol drink was apartment very good as well. Give that a try! Maybe just come for alcohol?

This is the best new-to-me restaurant I've tried in a long time, and we were really pleased with our experience! Started with hush puppies; great flavor, nice and crispy on the outside but the inside was moist and chewy. Menu says "Chipotle mayo" as a dipping sauce; we were definitely served a plain aioli, but it was very good-- no regrets. Shared an order of wings with Cry Baby Craig's Hot Honey sauce and the Nashville hot sandwich. Both had amazing flavor and were well-cooked crispy outside, moist but fully cooked chicken inside. The Nashville hot sandwich stands out as one of the better versions in the Twin Cities; its messy to eat so be ready for that. The waffle fries were good nothing special; seasoned sour cream was also nothing special in my opinion but my BF liked it. Service was fast and the right level of attentive. About $50 for our food plus 2 sodas, before tip. Will definitely go back again.

Fantastic food, friendly service, and energizing atmosphere! You can’t go wrong. I’ll let the photos do the talking but there are some things worth saying explicitly: The food was delicious. The breading on the Nashville Hottie is super light and flaky, not heavy, and the whole thing was tastefully spicy—not insanely hot. It was really messy to eat, be warned—but you’re going to a wing place so you’re gonna be washing up afterward anyway. The wings were meaty and crispy. The ranch seemed kinda watery though, I will say. Staff were so friendly! Our waitress took good care of us and at the end of our meal we were given free dessert by one of the managers who took a photo of us with our clean baskets. It was a totally unexpected and appreciated gesture. They have a great atmosphere, from the window-side seating to the bar, to the back patio, upstairs, and even the bathrooms. Everything is vibrant. They have an abundance of TVs so it makes for a great place to watch a game, hang out, and catch up. The vibe is lively and energetic. Their music choice was on point too, featuring a lot of rich, modern R&B. All in all, an easy 5 stars that I highly recommend. Not to there isn’t room for improvement. But they’re doing a great job filling Blue Door’s shoes and I wish them a hearty welcome to Uptown!

Poor service, looked like only one other customer there. Girl behind the bar spent more time chatting with her friend or another customer. Asked twice to get dirty table wiped down. Food was good but service won't have me coming back.Dine in: YesTakeout: Yes

Tried this place out last night and was pleasantly surprised! We went on a Friday night around 7 and got seated right away. Ordered a couple of specialty cocktails which were very decent but a little on the sweet side for my taste. For food we got the battered green beans, bone in Buffalo wings, and the tacos. Everything was delicious but he tacos were my favorite! mango salsa they come topped with is AMAZING and very fresh. The service was friendly and no real complaints there, a little slow and the timing of the items we ordered being brought to the table was a little off i.e. my boyfriends entry arrived a solid 5 minutes before mine, but not a big deal. Waitress even accommodated my request for a drink that wasn't on the menu, which was very much appreciated! Will be visiting again! P.s. if you're looking for a quite place to have a conversation this might not be it- the music is VERY loud and "clubby"

Service was amazing and friendly! Food was delicious- best chicken around. We got the tenders with 14 Spices and some dipping sauces. Happy Hour drinks are $8 before 6pm!

Fun experience with friends and friendly service but it was not timely service at all. The food was tasty but the Nashville Chicken Sandwich was not hot enough. The Mac and cheese and the fries really shined though. Also Justin's Tea was dangerously delicious.

Living in uptown I’ve wanted to try side chick since their grand opening and it did not disappoint. It seems like a lot of the service and wait time issues have been resolved since the grand opening, because our waitress was attentive, helpful, and fun! The food spoke for itself. We had the Nashville hottie, fries the seasoned sour cream is INSANE, Mac and cheese, and a split of hot honey and lemon pepper tenders. Everything was fresh and came extremely fast. They were out of greens which we wanted to try and had to serve their instagramworthy casamigos slushy in regular glasses because they didn’t have enough. Even with these two small criticisms, I wouldn’t hesitate to return/recommend!

We loved the waffle fries. The Nashville hottie wasn’t as hot as I expected. I wish it would of been spicier.

Bad experience. Service wasn’t that great. Our waiter seemed annoyed with us. We didn’t get everything we ordered and we were serviced uncooked chicken. But that isn’t the reason I’m writing this review and giving it a one star. Look at photo. Cheddar was thrown on a biscuit and they called it a cheddar biscuit.
