“ Came for a Sunday brunch around 1120 AM. We were seated immediately, and the restaurant was not too busy. Our server was attentive, but once the restaurant got busier, she came around less frequently. Not a big issue since, but just something worth noting. The food was great. I got the biscuit and gravy sandwich with the Tennesee Hot chicken. I also got a side order of mac and cheese. The chicken was excellent. Large portion size and the spice level was just right. Id put it somewhere between a mild and medium heat ”

“ Parking can be challenging here as its on street parking but we got lucky on Saturday. Wed been wanting to try this place as we are big fried chicken fans. The tenders I got were crunchy and delicious. We shared collared greens and the macaroni and cheese and hubs got the chicken dinner dark meat. The biscuit he got was homemade and fresh. We have no complaints about anything really. Like I said earlier, parking can be challenging but the service was awesome. ”

“ We have been to the revival in MPLS and liked the food. We were bumped to see some of the options were not available anymore. Regardless, the food here is great. Chicken is great as usual but I am now a fan of their sides! That corn bread tasted exceptional! Carrots and green tomatoes were good too. Service was great. We ordered one mocktail and cocktail. While the cocktail was good, nonalcoholic one was too sour for my taste. ”

“ I think this is the best location. Plenty of seating and great food. With me being sober they had some really great NA cocktails and of course their Tennessee hot chicken is the best. ”

“ Prepare for foodlightenment by the power of a mountain of fried chicken First is the Southern Fried Chicken. It is by far the best chicken Ive ever had. Such moist meat, and the crispy outside is absolutely ridiculous. Each bite bursts with flavor, a perfect balance of tenderness and crunch that leaves you craving more. The seasoning permeates every layer, enhancing the natural juiciness of the meat while the exterior provides a satisfying contrast. Its the kind of dish that lingers on your palate long after the meal is over, making you reminisce about the delightful experience. ”

“ Revival on Selby is one our favorite places to eat, dining in or delivery we tend to dine in on special occasions most recently, our four year wedding anniversary or when hosting others such as friends or our parents. I feel bad for not taking pictures this time, the only leftover I have is of the Crispy Brussel Sprouts appetizer or salad, not 100 sure which category it falls into given the edamame, dried cranberries, blue cheese chunks, sweet potato emulsion, and light oilvinegar marinadedressing, it COULD qualify as a salad... Burying the lede, here, because the point is that this was an AMAZING dish that shocked me in its execution, enough to order a second serving simply to take home... All I have left is a small amount in a small container, which I will take a photo of, though the photo does NOT do it justice. Revival is a Soul Food restaurant specializing in chicken, and as a lactoovo vegetarian it would be fair to assume that it would not cater to my tastes, however that assumption would be dead wrong. The number of sides for a small guy like me, two of these hearty sides makes a good size meal is impressively large, and nearly all of the sides do not incorporate meat in any way. My favorite sides are the Bourbon Carrots, the Cheddar Drop Biscuits the butter biscuits are also good, but its well worth the three dollar higher charge for the Cheddar Drop ones, the Baked Mac Cheese, and the Cheddar Grits which I always eat the following day just a personal quirk, but I adore the thicker, refrigerated grits first thing in the morning after they have sat overnight. All of their food that I have eaten has proven to be easily stored as leftovers for at least one day, and several of them for two to three days, also. The star of the restaurant, its entrees and the draw that brings customers in, is definitely the chicken options when ordering delivery my wife Elizabeth almost always orders the halfbird, spiced Tennessee Hot Poultrygeist has a three dollar upcharge, is significantly more spicy, and in Lizs words it is very good, just not an every time food due to the extreme spice. On the date I am reviewing she ordered a Chicken Tender Sandwich, Tennessee Hot, which she adored. For any vegetarians who wish an entree level meal, there is a Vegetarian I think it is even Vegan, unsure Beet Reuben consisting of marinated beet slices, sauerkraut, and... Whatever else comes on a Reuben,,, I have had it, it is very good but in my humble opinion my money is better spent simply ordering sides... I mean, we comeslashorder delivery regularly, and there are still sides I have never had, that is how impressive the menu is. During the summer they have an amazing Watermelon Salad. My wife had a glass of wine, house red, which was above average, and I had a very interesting hard cider very dry with a tang I couldnt quite place, I wish I had gotten the name of it, but it was on tap and I forgot to ask our server. They also have a good selection of canned and bottled beers and drinks, one of which is a seasonal Sour, which I intend to order the next time we visit, as lately I have been enjoying Sours as much or more than Ciders. Since we visited on a less traditionally busy day, service was excellent as the restaurant was not packed we arrived before a small rush, even, so our service was yet again a cut above. Since it was for our anniversary dinner we went all out, our tab was high but I had planned for this I tipped 22, as, the actuality is that our server was attentive, kind, and intuitive about our needs. I did not catch his name, but he did an excellent job. So hey, ownermanageranyone in charge who might read these reviews, pass along my compliments or a raise maybe lol. We felt well attended to but never pressured. He was tall, thin, blonde hair that roughly fell to his shoulders. We will obviously be back, and continue to recommend Revival as well as bring other friends and family. My parents are from the US South, and love the menu. ”

“ I have ate here probably three or four times, and never hesitate to make the drive over from Fridley. I recently was in, and they had an Oklahoma fried onion burger on the menu which isnt an easy burger to find considering it can be pretty regional. The burger was fantastic, definitely a milestone meal to find in Minnesota Fantastic staff, excellent service and top notch food. Absolutely do not hesitate to check it out ”

“ Everything I ate was absolutely incredible! I loved our waiter too, he was so fun and kind! The cheese curds were absolutely incredible. The sweet potato hot sauce was both unique and delicious! I really had a good time here. ”
