Kitchen and Rail

We came here for Sunday brunch and had a great time! We both ordered the Bloody Mary; it had the best rim salt seasoning I've ever had on a Bloody Mary! Our entrees included the Migas, Creole Benedict, and a side of the Gouda cheese hashbrowns. The Migas was huge, it's easily enough to share between 2 people. Our bartender/waiter was helpful and very nice. There's a large parking lot which makes parking very easy!

Chicken wings 5/5. Great flavor. Large wings.Pork belly sliders. 5/5. The best thing we ate. Cauliflower 1/5. Portion was sooooo small. We actually laughed when it came it. We received 6 popper size cauliflower pieces the size of a quarter each. Not worth $12.Duck. 2/5. Again, very small portion for the price and the rice was hard.Chicken piccata. 3/5. Flavor was good, but it only came with 3 small pieces of sliced chicken breast. Our server was very busy flirting with the table of drunk girls next to us; laughing and taking selfies. Our food took a long time to come out. The server came to apologize for the wait, then our food finally arrived and we did not have utensils. We had to flag another staff member to bring us utensils and waited 15 minutes for a diet coke refill. Overall, this place is overpriced for the small portions....and not impressed with the service. I would not return.

I love almost every entrée I have tried at this place over the past two years. I love how most things are served small plate style, so you can try a lot of things in one sitting especially with a small group. Their burger sliders and steak sliders are always a favorite, and I love their fries and dips. They have great wine and drink selections, and they always have a few original seasonal specials on the menu. Decent gluten free options. The only thing I don't love about this place is that it is one big open room, so it gets extremely loud if you are there during busy hours, so it's not ideal if you want a more intimate dinner. That said, if you are lonely, and looking for a place to mingle, the bar here always feels social and upbeat.

My wife and I went here for brunch recently, and I found the product to be a lot better than the happy hour or dinner product. Pricing was reasonable, or at least in line with other offerings. The servers were helpful. The food and drinks were great. I had the avocado toast eggs Benedict with hashbrowns, and my wife had chicken and waffles. We enjoyed them thoroughly. I paired that with the Carajillo cocktail which was excellent. I'd say it's like a grown-up take on an espresso martini. My wife opted for the N/A "Coffee and Jam" beverage, which sits somewhere in the coffee Negroni space while also being completely different. I thought they did a good job of making an N/A cocktail still have depth and interest.Reservation wasn't needed to get a table at noon on a Sunday.

Food was great, service was also really good although a touch slow. Nice neighborhood feeling vibe - TVs with football on but mostly people were talking and enjoying themselves. Would go back!Wouldn't get the steak frites again, but everything else we ordered was AMAZING. The hot honey turkey chopped salad was one of the stars of the show. So good.

The ambiance is 10/10. Very vibey space - perfect for happy hour with friends or an intimate dinner when the lights dim. The owner stopped by our table to check how everything was. He was very sweet, just as our waitress was. Best Aperol Spritz I've had and I wasn't even drinking it outside in Europe. The happy hour selection + prices were great

In town for a family event, we asked our son for a recommendation for an upscale contemporary bar & grill. His immediate response was Kitchen and Rail.Advanced reservations are required around happy hour, and we claimed ours. Drink specials, and since we were at the edge of H-Hour, we ordered both special items from that menu as well as the full menu.In the picture you'll see part of one of my orders...The portion of sautéed Frog legs is six, however these were so very delicious looking and the scent of garlic butter, flour dusted legs was to great to resist...so I didn't. Coming to my senses, I proclaimed "I M U S T get a photo before there's nothing to show!" Happy hour seating at just before 5pm was still available and we had Happy hour wings (3 HUGE) and sliders as dinner!A great experience! Food and beverages and a clean friendly atmosphere with pleasant and helpful servers! There is everything RIGHT about this experience.

The decor is fantastic, and I really wanted to give this place five stars, but unfortunately, the food and service fell short. I ordered the filet mignon sandwich for $30, which came with no sides and, disappointingly, without the bernaise sauce as they had run out. Had I been told upfront that the sandwich would just be meat and onions without the sauce, I would have chosen something else. The sandwich ended up dry and lacked flavor.The fried pickles were underwhelming--honestly, I've had better at casual dive bars. The chili con carne was another letdown, with too much cumin overpowering the dish and not enough meat to balance it out.The only real highlight of the meal was the apple streusel dessert, which arrived warm on a cast iron skillet and was a delightful end to an otherwise disappointing meal.This place has potential, and I might give it another shot, but they need to step up their game to ensure the food quality matches the ambiance and the prices on the menu.

What a cute little spot in Eagan! I'm normally not in this area, but we needed to stop for a quick dinner before a birthday party nearby - I definitely recommend it.Service was very quick and we really enjoyed our server, she was real with us about portion sizes since we wanted to share a couple of things.We split the Meatballs & the Vin Rosa Pasta - all of it was delicious! My only note was they definitely just added the one meatball for $5 and split it on our portions, rather than splitting the whole meatball dish but we didn't mind too much. They even split it on two separate plates for us which was great.We paired this with the Broccolini which was so good - I still think about it and crave it!Overall, definitely want to come back here to try drinks & more.

Kitchen and Rail... where do I begin?!I ordered takeout last night and called ~8 times before I got through. The phone rang about 5 times and went to a voicemail. Not ideal.Ordering via the phone was smooth and pick-up was also smooth. However, the food is downright disappointing.For 4 adults, we ordered the French Fries Dip Trio, the Wedgie Salad with chicken, The Famous Filet Mignon Slider, K&R Cheeseburger Slider, 2 What The Cluck Sliders, and Nana's Meatballs. All around, the portions were very small -- the french fries were a laughable amount. They were served with 3 dips which all tasted like store-bought salad dressing. There were enough for each of us to have ~5. The wedgie salad was served with half a chicken breast for $5 which was also laughable.The what the cluck slider was very meh in terms of flavor. It was a slider, so on the smaller side and to be expected, but flavor was lacking. Nana's meatballs were good, but nothing to write home about. And, the K&R cheeseburger slider was 1 of the only decent items we ordered! The sauce they served with it was good.However, the filet mignon on The Famous Filet Mignon Slider was extremely tender which is what saved them from getting a 1-star review.Overall, I won't be ordering from Kitchen & Rail again, nor will I be visiting their restaurant or recommending it to friends.
