Revival was already crowded when we arrived about 5:30pm but the young man who greeted us was warm and polite. “Just the two of you? We can seat you as soon as the next table is cleared.” Our timing was good; a line formed soon after. We had fried chicken, Revival’s specialty, starting with fried green tomatoes and a salad made with fresh bib lettuce, plus mashed potatoes and gravy. I’m not expert on southern cooking but it all tasted wonderful to me. The Steel Toe Milk Stout was pretty good, too. The ambiance was very good, a mix of young and old, couples and groups. My wife and I enjoyed looking at the variety of dishes going by and all the people eating them. Our waitress was helpful and playful.

We looked forward to this one for a some time unfortunately, the food was good but it didn't live up to the hype. The positives: Excellent wait staff and good ambiance. The negatives: The food was just okay, when compared to actual southern restaurants like those in Nashville (Prince's for example) the food had the right look and feel but none of the flavor. I had the Mac and cheese side with their Tennessee hot chicken and was sorely disappointed. The chicken was juicy but lacked any actual heat and the Mac was more cheese soup with some noodles than Mac and cheese. Walking into a good southern restaurant you'll be hit by an abundance of delicious smelling food. Revival lacked that entirely. All in all it feels like a Minnesotan impersonation of southern food rather than an actual southern food restaurant, somewhat tasty but ultimately forgettable.

Southern style food that is fresh made! We received a recommendation from a friend that said I would love this place. They weren't wrong. There was a wait when we got there for about 30 minutes but we were able to go on a walk through the neighborhood and they sent us a message when the table was ready. We ordered the cheese curds for an appetizer and the chicken and waffles for our main meal. Everything came out hot, fresh, and delicious. Possibly the best cheese curds I have ever had. The chicken was perfectly cooked as well as the waffles. I commented that food like this is one of the reasons why it's okay that America has an obesity problem.

We had the southern fried 1/2 chicken dinner and an order of Johnny cakes. I was a little disappointed when ordering the dinner because it did not come with any sides. Chicken was good. I was very impressed with the Johnny cakes which was the reason I came. A corn meal pancake with ham and cheese on the inside, they were delicious. I really did love this place even though I thought the chicken was average. Liz, our server, was terrific.

Some of the best food I've had. The mac and cheese was amazing as well as the Tennessee Hot Chicken, cheddar drop biscuits, and the cheese curds. None of the food was a disappointment. The staff was friendly, we had great service at the bar. The place is a little on the small side but it was worth the wait.
