Hazelwood Food + Drink

Flawless front to back. Very rarely am I impressed from drink to dessert. Not only was every item fantastic but also each was FULL of balanced, nuanced flavor, which is disappointingly rare nowadays. We ordered the blueberry and the apple mocktails, both great. We had the short-rib pasta and the rotisserie chicken meal, both absolutely fantastic. And then we finished with the pumpkin cheesecake, which might as well discontinue pumpkin pie everywhere. Portions were perfect. Place was slammed Friday night, but we immediately found a great spot at the bar. Servers were very attentive while being very busy. It’s a bit pricey, but I got what I paid for and more. Apparently, this is Tavern 4&5’s luxury brand, and it felt like it. We love 4&5 for breakfast, brunch, and lunch, now Hazelwood for dinner.

Located right outside the Mall of America is a gem of a restaurant with top notch food. The Crispy Brussel Sprouts came with ginger wasabi dressing that was the perfect blend of seasoning, not a combo we have tried before but a combo we will try again! The Grilled Chicken Linguine with butternut squash and spiced pecans were also so rich and smooth with flavor that it melted in your mouth. “The” Chicken Sandwich was also a hit! We sat at the bar and our server was fantastic, overall we were very impressed!

If you haven’t tried Hazelwood food and drink you are seriously missing out.
The Minute Chicken was without a doubt the best food I have ever eaten. It was so amazing. My husband had the walleye it was very good but not as good as the minute chicken.
The waiter was also amazing and made our dinning experience pleasurable.

A Midweek Gem Worth the Crowds

During an overnight stay, I visited Hazelwood Food and Drink on a bustling Wednesday night that felt more like a Saturday. Despite freezing temperatures and a packed house, the service was exceptional. While the wait for a table was 20 minutes, I snagged a seat at the first-come, first-serve bar near the front window and was promptly attended to.

I started with the deviled eggs topped with breaded shrimp—an addictive blend of salty yolk and crispy shrimp. For my main, I enjoyed a flavorful salmon dish (sans tomatoes) served on flaky, soft bread. The side of fries, while average, didn’t detract from the meal.

To drink, I opted for the blueberry ginger refresher, a mocktail that proved delicious and satisfying without the buzz.

Overall, Hazelwood is perfect for solo diners or groups. Reservations are a must for this popular spot.

This was a very good value. The pricing was not higher than other similar restaurants, and the food was delicious. I had a burger and tots. Both were delicious and the tots are very unique, in a good way. The server was really on top of things despite the place getting busy. Nice, outdoor patio. Highly recommend.

We were staying near the Mall of America and were tired of franchise food. I searched up some local fare and Hazelwood popped up as close and highly recommended.

Wow what a great place to eat. The food, service, atmosphere, and selection of great draft beers was top notch.

We shared a family size Caesar salad, Calamari, shrimp deviled eggs, and mussels as appetizers.

For entrees we split the Double cut Durock smoked pork chops, and Prime rib. The prime rib was excellent and the pork chop was one of the best pork chops I’ve ever had.

As a foodie, I highly recommend this restaurant. They have three other locations in the twin city area also.

The food was DELICIOUS. I had a very particular order and my server got it PERFECTLY. He was ALWAYS on top of my drink, which was also somewhat specific.

The place gets PACKED on the weekend. Everyone is very friendly and seem to enjoy their jobs. A must return!

Absolutely loved brunch. Our waitress Gabby was awesome. We tried the monkey bread (definitely get it!). I had the American Breakfast. Great eggs, bacon and the to die for Gouda hash browns. Our nieces had the pancakes and avocado toast and loved it. we want to go back for dinner! We sat right next to the rotisserie chicken wheel which was so fun to watch!
