TERRIBLE FOOD

by LMTMPLS

Minneapolis has some fantastic restaurants...this is NOT one of them. I wouldn't even go so far as to say that their food is decent.

I've tried several items on the menu....I give up..Today I ordered a reuben and calamari for delivery. It was terrible and over priced. $30 with the tip - and the corned beef wasn't even edible. That was their last chance. Their crab cakes are especially bad...very greasy.

Do yourself a favor, save your money and try another restaurant.

Good place gone bad

by Startribdude

I used to be a real big Trocaderos fan. I’ve been going there for a little more than a year and a half. I enjoyed the cheap lunch buffet. I got to know a few of the managers. They would always make a point say hi and see how I was doing, occasionally even gave me some show tickets. I brought my family to a show and I felt really important because they knew me by first name. I even had a small party in the boardroom. The only manager that talks to me now, just rambles about nonsense and doesn’t even seem to be interested in talking to me per say, he just seems to want to talk constantly. I’ve found it to be strange and intrusive while trying to eat. He has even argued with me a bit if I have any suggestions. Final straw happened recently when I had a problem with a credit card there, and the woman I talked to on the phone was rude and just downright disrespectful, acting as if I was trying to get something free when all I was doing was asking questions. So long lunch buffet, my cardiologist will miss you.

• Pros: cheap lunch
• Cons: rude/weird people
