My Brother and I had a Glorious Meal for Christmas Eve, which was a special menu for the night. We started out with the Roasted Apple Meatballs and the Bread Board. Both were excellent! Then we decided to order as a takeaway the Charcuterie Board and two of their Entres for later, (Chicken Pot Pie & Baked Macaroni and Cheese) I know, it was crazy but well worth it. Then my Brother had the Truffle and Mushroom Burger with Truffle Fries and I had the Hot Honey Chicken Sand, and the Chef understood the assignment by using Tender Thigh Meat. I was really impressed with the quality. The prices are a little steep but it's Christmas, so I didn't really mind. All in all, a much tasty evening with impeccable service. Will gladly do this next year, or even perhaps the New Years Eve Dinner coming up in a week? Happy Holidays!

A great place for a special occasion always -- but esp. at the Holidays. Great decor, lovely free music, cool drinks, great service and the photo booth all make for a fun time. And being employee owned is a cherry on the top of the sundae. I wish they had more vegan dishes. There is very little there for me to eat.

Pimento Kitchen in Minneapolis is a must-try! I had the chicken curry, and the spice level was just right—full of flavor with the perfect kick. Loved the reggae music playing in the next room, which created a great atmosphere. It was my first visit, thanks to a friend's recommendation, and it won’t be my last. If you’re looking for authentic Jamaican food and great vibes, this is the spot! Highly recommend for anyone craving bold flavors and a fun dining experience. #PimentoKitchen #JamaicanFood #MinneapolisEats #AuthenticFlavors #ChickenCurry #ReggaeVibes #FoodieFinds
