Boogaloo
Welcome to Boogaloo: A Culinary Escape in Maplewood
The Ambiance: More Party Than Restaurant
Picture this: you walk into Boogaloo, and it feels like someone threw a Mardi Gras party in a funky art gallery. You’ve got alligator skin wallpaper (not from the 80s, I promise), stunning chandeliers hanging like they’re waiting to drop some new gossip, and murals that make you wonder if you should have visited art class more often. Oh, and let’s not forget the bar swings! Who doesn’t want to sip a mojito like they’re practically on a playground? Seriously, friends, if you’re not swinging while sipping, are you even living?
Signature Dishes: Culinary Joyride
Now, let’s talk about the food. Caribbean-inspired dishes that whisper sweet nothings to your taste buds! We’re talking Cuban flair, some Creole magic, and everything comes in both tapas for sharing (or not, we don’t judge) and larger plates that make you want to break into a spontaneous conga line. This is where you can experience flavors that are so vibrant, you swear they have their own Instagram accounts. You might just want to order everything on the menu—don’t worry, calories don’t count when you’re having fun!
Service: Pouring Happiness
The bar staff at Boogaloo? They’re basically alchemists turning spirits into liquid gold. The cocktails here have awards, which is not surprising given that they could probably win an Oscar for Best Performance in a Glass. They’re friendly, too—like, “how can I make your day in 7 seconds or less?” kind of friendly.
A Slice of History
Boogaloo opened its doors in September 2005, and it’s been a party ever since. It snagged Sauce Magazine’s Readers Choice for Favorite Cajun/Creole 2019 and got the title of best Happy Hour in 2012 from Riverfront Times. It’s like the restaurant is an overachiever but in the most fun, relaxed way possible. You’re going to want to say you were here before everyone else catches on to the culinary gem that is Boogaloo.
