Editorial Review for NBA City Restaurant – by Donna Tabbert Long
In Short
Practice free-throw skills and pick up NBA merchandise at this basketball-themed eatery (including menu covers that feel like a real basketball). The fare is notches above the standard pub grub featuring walleye tacos, Philly cheese sandwiches and brick oven pizzas. A relaxed group of pre-gamers gather in the Courtside Bar, located behind the players' arena entrance, to watch the team head to the court. Those without tickets can see the game on state-of-the-art LCD TVs.

NBA City's atmosphere is someplace I would be proud to take my family around. If you're with the pickiest of eaters (like my former fiancee), they have familiar food with a twist that even the pickiest of all eaters would enjoy. I would highly recommend their wings and their ever popular hamburgers. Even though I haven't eaten them before, my non-vegetarian friends LOVE their burgers and wings. One of the things I've eaten before, the Margherita pizza, has a thin, crisp crust and the sauce is a tangy marinara with fresh tomatoes topping the fine mozzarella. The eating experience is enhanced by their amenities. There's high speed wifi so you can surf the web while snacking on your succulent and juicy wings and television screens showing many games of importance (Yes, Timberwolves fans, that includes even Nuggets games) and even English Premiership soccer, Australian Football League and Rugby Union and Rugby League games from all over the world. It's as much fun to work there (Hey Jeff, how's it going!?) as it is to eat there. The vegetarian selection, even though is small, has a good selection of salads and pastas. That's important if you're a vegetarian (like me), you wouldn't feel left out like you do at other restaurants. I've moved on in life to bigger and better things in life, so that's why I don't work at NBA City anymore, but I will always miss working there. However, I can always come back to eat!
Pros: Good old fashioned food, a variety of drinks at the bar, large portions
Cons: The budget concious may be a bit wary of some of their more popular items.

I really don't understand why an NBA Rest is in MN when this is clearly NOT a basketball state. The employee's are not knowledgable about the game, service was pretty poor, food is expensive not to mention the parking. The Restaurant is empty minus a few times when big games are on but it's not a fun atmosphere. The worst part is how can you watch a playoff game WITHOUT big screen t.v's. When yout sit you have to move around and position yourself to see a t.v. Those little itty bitty t.v.'s they plaster on the wall can barely be seen. The crew is not friendly..this is a sporting environment it's supposed to be Fun, Loud, Crazy!! When i call for information about possible parties no one knows anything and they tell me to call back in the morning lol.
Pros: none
Cons: parking, NO BIG SCREEN T.V'S, service is bad not friendly, empty most of the time.
