The old Big Ten in Hopkins has been gone awhile now and Thirty Bales has been reborn in its place. The room is modern and bright with a large square bar in the center. They did a great job and it looks nothing like it did before.
John had the spicy chicken sandwich with a buttermilk friend chicken breast, hot sauce and pickles, lettuce on ciabatta roll with crinkle fries on the side.
I had the lemon ricotta pancakes. Oddly the server asked if I wanted to add berries and I said no, but it arrived with berries. I had to ask for the maple syrup the menu said it included. The pancakes were fluffy and light, but did not have a lot of lemon flavor.
The service started out OK, but everything seemed a bit off. Servers kept trying to deliver food to our table after we had received ours. It took ages for the check to arrive and the server to come back and process the payment. The restaurant was not that busy at the time either, so I am not sure what the delay was. Being that there are not a ton of interesting options in Hopkins, it might be worth a trip back to try the dinner menu. And hopefully the service improves as they are open longer.
