Wild Onion

Worst restaurant. My family and a friend went here because we were checking out uptown and everyone was hungry so we were looking for some place to eat that is different. The services were TERRIBLY! After the waitress took our order I gave her the menus but she just walk away & go to the next table without taking it. We went there on a Tuesday during lunch and they are not busy at all but it took almost an hour for our foods to come out & the waitress hardly cone by to check on us. When the food came out my our fries looked like it has been sitting around for days already and my son's chicken looked overly cooked and nasty. When we paid the bill the waitress asked how's the food & I said it's ok & she just walked away & looked unpleased that I said that cuz I hardly eat touched my food. The decor to me is not appropriate @

all if you have have kids and does not say anything the

restaurant. I just want to let you know that I have never

written a review before and this is a first for me. I can still keep going but many on here already expressed their thoughts already. On a finally note though...this place is not classy @ all...one of the waitress was wearing a t-shirt and a stretched pants!…

WORST RESTAURANT/BAR IN ST. PAUL. WORST ESTABLISHMENT TO EVER GO TO ON GRAND AVENUE! These folks are outright racist when it comes to people of color in gaining entrance. I can understand if someone is belligerent or improperly dressed, but the bouncers as well as staff have the poorest display of customer service in trying to maintain an appearance of being a classy bar.

As many of the other reviews here state, this is NOT the place you want to go on Grand Ave. late night to have a good time or any time at all for that matter. They turned away a party of law students that was ready to spend good money due to one individual not being in accordance with their outlandish dress code of which isn't even stated on their website. I spoke with Nick the General Manager who basically was of the mindset that it's ok to discriminate against people that look a certain way.

I feel really bad for the staff that works there wanting to provide quality service to ALL as I too have worked in customer service before under improper management/ownership policies. I hope Joe & Jay who are the owners read this and take heed in avoiding any further lawsuits they already have pending against The Wild Onion.

To make a long story short...save yourself the disappointment and DO NOT EVER SUPPORT THIS ESTABLISHMENT!…

Take it or leave it. The only thing that Wild Onion does better than the places around it is arrogance - they serve the same drinks, food, and have the same television/music entertainment as a dozen places within walking distance. Maybe if you're looking for smaller crowds you'll end up here as it seems less popular than other places, and the prices aren't bad.…

"Dress Code" will keep your friends from joining you. A group of friends and I planned a memorial toast at the Wild Onion last week. Unfortunately, when one of our group tried to join us, he was told at the door that he couldn't come in because he was wearing workout pants (which were dark gray, tailored, clean and had they not had a string around the waist, probably could have passed for dress pants) and they have a dress code that starts at 9PM. (It was ten after). I explained to the guy working the door why were there and why it was important to all of us. He gave me a smirk and said he'd already talked to the manager who agreed our friend shouldn't be let in. I guess I kind of understand it as they boast a selection of beer such as Leinenkugel's and a menu that contains such delicacies as fried wings and pizza and the entertainment is super high class (they even played us a shake weight commercial between sports games on the televisions!!). And I understand that the waitress serving tables next to us who was working in a pair of black underwear and a tank top must have gotten in *just* before that 9 o'clock deadline. Or maybe this is just a place that practices open discrimination and doesn't deserve any more business from me or anyone else I know. Especially with such a wide variety of other great places to frequent in the cities.…
