Great selection of local beer . Burgers done just right. Friendly atmosphere with a mixed crowd.

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!

Brenna Daly

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

Dfw Dean

Good selection of beer on tap on a hot Saturday afternoon: yummy order of cheese curds too.

Tom Dunn

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.

Kyle Thorsen

"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

Terri Morawiecki

The best Cajun food that I've had in a long time close to how it should be from Louisiana . Yum!!!

Love this bar . Great bartenders . Great management. Great owners. Good food.

Great beer selection and an awesome staff ! Castro with either the baby red mashed potatos or red beans and rice is awesome!

Our server was a bit of a biotch, but the cheese curds are the bomb!
