Thursday 2-6-2025, at 6 PM, got the last two seats at the bar. Bartender was warm and attentive and answered our menu questions. I got The Original Roast Beef sandwich, which was a PILE of thin-sliced delicious beef, which was flavorful and seasoned just right; the quality beef spoke for itself. Came with au jus. Generous serving of cole slaw was cold, creamy, delicious and fresh. Husband got the Clubhouse, also delicious. Love the waffle fries! Great service. We plan to stop at Mayslack's whenever we're in the area.

We shared this, and it was huge. It's 2 "small" versions of the original. Comes with onions and yellow peppers. Be sure to come when you're hungry!

For a hole-in-the-wall spot, this place is always fun to kick it at! Straight to the point with basic drinks, beer, sports, and bar food. I've always liked the look of this place as it's just simple and street. If you're looking for fun in NE mpls, make it a stop. - Anthony

Second time ive been here, and each time they have been so wonderful. i had questions regarding being gluten free, since they don't have any allergies on the menu. The owner is usually there and he was just great, he went and got the seasonings in the back and showed me the label himself, lowkey made me tear up because it didn't seem it bothered him. he was willing to go out his way, to my experience good and comfortable. 100% recommend.

We were in town for the weekend and thought we would try something different. It was a good choice. Food had good flavors and the the portions were very generous. The o rings were a tad over done, but still were tasty. Service was good, made suggestions, and the inside had plenty of seating. Price was appropriate for area and portions.

Mayslack's is literally a neighborhood institution and can be proud of being called a Dive Bar. You would expect to see a row of Harley-Davidson's outside, but it's not a biker bar. Just an old-timey NordEast kind of place. I started coming here back in the early 80's when it was owned by Stan Mayslack and there were lines of people waiting for the Sunday-only (as I remember) roast beef sandwich. He pinched the thumbs of every women in line with his serving tongs (I can't explain why) and the garlic in the sauce satisfied the most fervent garlic-lover. It was a fantastic sandwich and worth the wait in line. Fast forward to circa 2000 and Stan has sold his place to a new owner. The only décor change is that the new owner doesn't leave the Christmas lights up all year, but other than that, it's true to its origins. I still make it to Mayslack's several times a year. The lines are gone and the menu has changed. I STILL really like the HUGE roast beef sandwiches, but I miss the original sandwiches, from the Stan days. I know that the recipe was part of the deal when the new owner bought the place, but unfortunately the quality of the roast beef is not nearly as good. It's not at all bad, but it's tougher and somehow more dried out than back in the Stan days. The garlic is there, but is much smaller quantities. It's one of those cases, where shortcuts have been made, a little here, and a little there, and eventually it's just not the same. Fortunately, it's still worth the visit. By the way, the onion rings are the best I have ever had. The batter is like tempura and it is beyond crisp. If you are going to order a side, this is a true winner. I'm still giving it four stars because the roast beef is still tasty and the quantity ensure you will have at least one more meal out of the leftovers. I do love the juice on the buns (don't even think about trying to pick it up), the onions, and the beefiness of the meat. I do like the dive-bar authenticity. Overall, it's worth a visit, either for lunch or dinner. The service, when not too busy, is friendly and thoughtful. Take a look at my photos.

Still love this place! Service provided by Dez today was perfect. She was the right combination of funny, real and efficient. Food nummy and fresh and drinks chilly just like we needed. Bloody's and tap beers. Mayslack's...don't EVER go away!

After living off of smoothies for two weeks (wisdom tooth), I was craving some hearty greasy bar food! We stopped in here on a Sunday during art-a-whirl. It's seat yourself and has A LOT of space, so finding a seat wasn't a problem. We've lived in the area for quite a while and there is a high probability I've already been here, but probably not to eat LOL *cheers*. I ordered a beer, cheese curds, and their original roast beef. Cheese curds: cheesy with crispy onions beneath. Beer: carbonated. The roast BEAST: 10/10 salty soft and delicious! Portion sizes: BIG! Will definitely be returning when I get that bar food craving. This review might be biased because I was VERY hungry after a liquid diet, but I guess you'll just have to try it for yourself! Easy street parking. I didn't notice if they had a small lot anywhere. Other bars within walking distance.
