We’re so glad we stopped - the service and food was fast and the atmosphere was great! The wings were top notch, the sampler is a must!

My mom and I had 1/3 cheeseburgers and fries. It was good and I really liked French fries. They have a patio out front that we sat on because the roof patio had steps and I can’t do alot of steps. Would come back

We stopped for lunch during the Riverfest. Granted it was very busy and we accepted that as a given fact. But after 1 and half hours and no food we left. The waitress kept telling us it was because all the orders went in at...the same time. But we saw many people around us who came after we did get their food. Each time we asked she said she was going to check. Each time we got the same reply. When we pointed out other tables getting their meals she said again I’ll check. But never any food. We left as did the table in front of us who had the same waitress. They had waited 1 hour 40 minutes for an order of chicken fingers. Shame on you Serums. No restaurant should make people wait that long for chicken fingers.More

We have never been to Serums. But we wanted to have chicken wings and someone told me this is the place to go. We live 30+ miles and I drove there in a snowstorm. It was not a fun drive but once we got the...wings home, we realized they were worth it. We tried 5 varieties and each were good. Can't wait to return!More

Love their breaded chicken tender basket, potato soup, potato skins. Prices are decent. Service has never been very friendly. Only one woman’s bathroom is usually a line. Service is hit and miss on being friendly

I have been going to Serum's since the 1990's. They continue to have the best Chicken Wings that I have ever had. They have several sauces to choose from. I recommend the 25 wing sampler so you can try five different sauces. The wings are...usually crispy, but it is good to ask if that is how you like them as I have received them not crispy. They have a wide range of sauces from extremely spicy, to mild and sweet. The blue cheese dressing is made on site and is delicious.More

On a recent visit to the area for a family get together we stopped in on a Saturday afternoon for lunch and a few drinks. We sat outside on the upstairs deck and it was a great atmosphere with plenty of room and a nice...vibe. Service was good and the food we ordered was all good. They have a wide variety of choices from sandwiches to fish and chips or steaks. Bathrooms were clean although they could use more than one seater per floor. Inside in both upstairs and downstairs had nice seating and plenty of TV screens if you are interested in that. Staff was all super nice.More

5 of us had dinner and it took 45 minutes to get any food we ordered. First item that came out was the quesadilla, 10 min later our boneless wings, 15 min later the personal pan pizza ordered came out. They had to do it...over because it was given to someone upstairs. Overall even though the food was very late and the service was slow, it was ok. The boneless wings were dry and tasted a bit like freezer burn. Although late, the pizza was reported as very good.More

Second time here and there will be many more. Great wings but don’t miss the pizza, it’s just as good. Like the “old time” feel of the place. Our server “Bobby” was great, a lot of fun.

Such good wings. Dont even have a favorite kind because they are all delicious and YES I've tried then all before. The fried mushrooms are a great app and also the chicken fingers are actual chicken breast. So good. Fun staff. Great drinks.

Serums was fun and the burgers were good but not very handicap accessible. Had to climb MANY stairs to see the band upstairs and eat. Took 2 of us just to eat.

Hands down the best place to get chicken wings! A ton of flavor options, so something for everyone. Other menu items are good as well. Busy bar environment with live music upstairs on the weekend. Only downside is sometimes it's hard to find a table!

Stopped in for one and had three. What a great casual venue. Food smells outstanding! I stayed for happy hour. Put my phone down and engaged the locals Uber fun conversation, reminiscing over Anoka days gone bye... did you know Anoka was the murder capital...of the USA per capita two years running? Yup! Lots of cool stories!More
