    Mo and Erin behind the bar made our first stop in Minneapolis a great one! From beer and drink recommendations to walking us through the food menu! Even a list of hot spots for us to check out after!

    Just found out this changed from Bullfrog to Bulldog. Will definitely miss the sweet potato fries (the best I've ever had) and the pecan pie, which was AMAZING

    The pecan crusted catfish rocked! Don't sub anything as the red beans and rice, greens and blue corn bread sticks compliment perfectly. As did the Rogue.

    "Mom! The moat loaf! Faaahhk!" Is superb, I wanted more but then I realized I was too full so I guess I'll have it again another time. Favorite spot for #senthorcreative

    Don't go here if you have a shellfish allergy, had the pork sliders, was ok, no flavor. Had to use the hot sauce. Hush puppies were a bit salty but good.

    The food was average, the bartenders would rather converse with each other with the patrons. Worst service I have had in years.
