“ Hometown favorite when touring downtown Anoka any night during the week. This place is a landmark for its unique atmosphere, warm low-light, and decor. Highly recommend trying a variety of their bone-in wings with a side of sauces. They're some of the best I've had in a while. Love this place. ”
“ Serums is a great place. It's known for its wings and kind of a tourist spot since people will travel here just to try the wings. They have bone in and boneless and lots of different sauces. I've only ever tried the wings so I can't speak to the other food but the wings were indeed good. The "medium" sauce was not even a little spicy so if you are e looking for some spice I'd go at least to the "hot". The inside is very cool. It has cool decor and gives off dive bar vibes. (In a good way). The server we had was nice and we went on a quiet day so everything was made super fast. Would deff go back! ”
“ Serums had the best wings in MN!! With a variety of different sauce options to choose from, you're guaranteed to find a flavor that you love! Their fries are always served piping hot, and are amazing dipped in their house made blue cheese! The restaraunt is always lively and fun atmosphere, the staff is friendly and very efficient! ”
“ The food here is so good for a dive bar ambiance Our server was polite and attentive. If you're looking for live music with a chill atmosphere this is the place to go. The wings there are really good I got the hot bbq wings and the hot Italian sandwich ”
“ The wings are phenomenal. Service was pretty quick as well. They so many options for sauces its crazy! We got a platter and different kind of sauces! Really recommend to go here. We sat outside and it was perfect! ”
“ If you're in the mood for wings, this is apparently the place to go in the Twin Cities. We've never visited, but on a recent weekend we ventured into Anoka to try it out. We arrived around six and the place was completely packed. There was a line going slightly up the stairs to be seated. Instead of waiting down below, we ventured up top where there was a second bar and lots of additional seating, although barely any seats were open. We grabbed two stools along the side wall and were greeted by a server within five minutes. We ordered a sampler of different types of wings, the medium, ginger, garlic, honey mustard and bbq. Overall the wings were good. Nice crisp to them but not overdone. What was a little disappointing is that all of the sauces tasted very similar. I don't know if it was because there wasn't a lot of sauce, or if they truly just were hard to differentiate the ones that we picked. We were hoping for a more distinct flavor between the types of wings and unfortunately just didn't get it. The space is nice they were setting up for live music upstairs. You can tell it is a popular spot as the Number of people waiting to get in was steady the entire time we're there, as well as a few hours later when we walked by again. Are these the best wings and all of Minneapolis? Maybe not. Are they pretty high up there and worth a try? Definitely. ”
“ My friends had been raving about Serum's for quite some time, so we finally made it out to try the wings, and they did not disappoint! If you can, sit outside, such a fun rooftop on a nice summer evening. Our server was a hoot, relaxed but fun, and very attentive, looking to please. We ordered a couple drinks, a bunch of wings, tater tots and a side salad. Everything is reasonably priced and the food came pretty quick, especially for it being pretty busy around 6:30pm! I was shocked we were able to get an outdoor table without waiting. There is truly something for everyone at Serum's. I can't wait to come back! ”
“ I have heard that the wings at Serums are the best in the state so I had to try it out. We arrived on a Friday night around 6 pm. There is no hostess but a very organized cue had been formed for who got the next table. We ventured upstairs and found a couple bar stools at a counter. This is a barstuarant...could you bring kids here..sure...could you drink your cares away here without judgement..sure. We had the 25 wing platter and tried 5 different sauces. Ginger, garlic, medium, spicy honey mustard, and Smokey bbq. The wings were cooked perfectly. Overall the sauces were good but could have used a little more sauce. None of them stood out as being particularly better than the others. We also had an order of Big Fries. They were a good compliment to the wings but could have been cooked a little longer to crispy them up. ”
