An updated restaurant from the original StepChild which was one of my favorite restaurants in NE. Seems like they’re headed in more of a fast-casual/sports bar atmosphere with the same high quality food as before. The limited menu seems to work as it still kept the perfect Cooper burger which is probably my favorite burger in Minneapolis. I also really enjoyed the addition of a breakfast burrito and cinnamon rolls. I would absolutely recommend trying both! The Ethiopian dry rub wings are absolutely delicious and will be back for more as well. I would recommend skipping the chicken sandwich as it was pretty average in comparison to such great food. Overall, I was really happy to see the place return as it’s truly an awesome spot.

Kizzo is one of those rare spots that works for nearly any mood—whether you’re in the mood to catch the big game, hang out with friends over drinks, or grab brunch with the family. The atmosphere strikes a great balance: lively enough to feel social, but warm and welcoming—especially when you come in with younger adults or kids in tow.
The full bar menu is solid, with drinks that hit the mark whether you want something classic or something with a twist. One of my favorite parts? The “Roll Ritual” cinnamon rolls they offer on weekends—yes, including Ube—which are absolutely delicious. If they’re available, make sure to try one.
The staff are consistently friendly and attentive without being overbearing, which really adds to the relaxed vibe. It doesn’t feel forced; it feels like folks who enjoy what they’re doing and want you to enjoy it too.
We revisited recently with our young adults, and it worked out great—they had great food, fun drinks, and we all felt comfortable. For watching Sunday night football (especially if the Vikings or Packers are playing), brunch, or just a casual night out—it’s a spot I’ll happily recommend.

Very cool place, was able to snag a booth and order online. They don’t have any warm drinks and the tea listed is bubbly and cold!
Sweet potato fritters, mushroom taco, burgers, and fries.
Food was great and the service was spot on.

The Cinnamon Roll (Roll Ritual)
Say goodbye to basic cream cheese and hello to complex, rotating flavors like the incredibly aromatic Orange Cardamom Roll or the striking Ube Cream Cheese Roll. The dough itself is delightful and satisfyingly dense yet fluffy, providing the perfect canvas for their inventive toppings.
The Apple Fritter ✨
This is the sleeper hit! Kizzo’s Apple Fritter is surprisingly light, managing a perfect contrast between its craggy, crisp exterior and a soft, pillowy interior packed with apple. The real genius is the glaze: they use amazing vanilla paste to create a sophisticated, fragrant sweetness that takes this classic from simple donut-shop grab to a refined treat.
The Verdict: Kizzo is the spot for the pastry aficionado who wants high-quality, expertly executed treats that push the boundaries of flavor!

Had a great first visit to Kizzo. The vibes are swank but cozy sports bar, with strong blue lighting.
For drinks, we had a martini and old fashioned. They serve them with your glass, and the actual cocktail in a small bottle for you to pour yourself. It’s unique and a fun presentation. Bonus points for the “Kizzo” ice cube in the old fashioned. Both drinks were very good- the martini had vodka and gin, and the pimento in the olives were piquant and delightful.
For our food, we had the fried chicken sandwich with salad, and the Cooper burger with fries. The chicken sandwich was so so, a bit dry. But the salad (which is not yet on the menu) was very good, using fresh mixed greens. The dressing seemed to be house made and had a kick of cilantro to it.
The Cooper burger was the star. 2 smashed patties with creamy white American cheese, a wonderful aioli and delicious house made pickles on a shiny bun. It melts in your mouth and is one of the best burgers I’ve ever tasted. The pickles give kimchi/asian cucumber salad vibes in the best way. It is pricey at $19 however it was worth it to me, and definitely not a regular thing. The drinks were fairly priced as well – $12 martini at the time of this writing.
The fries left something to be desired, they were nothing special.
For dessert we had a chocolate cinnamon roll and it was perfect. Warm and gooey on the inside and a great treat.
I hope to visit again soon and try out a few other things- the wings in particular looked pretty amazing!

Amazing buffalo cauliflower! Friendly staff and good vibes. Vegan burger wasn’t the best, but my friend loved the Cooper burger.

We just went to Kizzo for the first time tonight, what a great experience! I got the Cooper Burger – it was delicious. I ate the entire burger and the fries. If you like a great burger, you gotta go here. Kizzo’s burger is in the same tier as Red Cow, Blue Door Pub, Matt’s Bar, Parlour, etc. The service was great as well. We felt welcomed and warm on a very cold MN night. We’ll be back!

Had a quick date night at Kizzo and the service was excellent. It was really cozy and perfect for a freezing January night. Had the vegan burger and my husband had the cooper burger. Both were SO good, as were the garlic fries. Highly recommend any restaurant by Kamal Mohamed!

The cinnamon rolls were edible but not noteworthy or particularly good. Had the apple fritter (the worst item we got), classic cinnamon roll (pretty dry and overcooked), and the cookie butter (still a bit overcooked but overall the best one). Definitely won’t be back as there’s far better options elsewhere. Can’t speak to the restaurant or the rest of the food menu as we got these to go.

Great food, great service, cool spot
I highly recommend the buffalo cauliflower in particular. It has a great crispness to the cauliflower itself rather than depending on breading.
I love when I find a restaurant like this that has excellent food and thoughtful attentive service, but it’s a more relaxed atmosphere
Lots of attention to detail. We’re looking forward to going back
