Chicken Restaurants in Minnesota – Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives

Chicken Restaurants in Minnesota

When Guy Fieri’s red Camaro rolled into Minnesota hunting for the state’s best chicken, he discovered a hidden gem that captured the heart of Flavortown. The North Star State may be famous for its lakes and harsh winters, but Triple D uncovered a chicken destination that proved Minnesota knows how to bring the heat to the plate.

Featured in 2010, Gordy’s Hi-Hat in Cloquet earned an impressive 4.7-star rating from fans who flocked to experience the dishes that caught Guy’s attention. This beloved establishment represented everything the show celebrates: authentic flavors, passionate cooks, and food worth the drive. While Gordy’s Hi-Hat has since closed its doors, its legacy lives on in the memories of diners who experienced its legendary offerings during its Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives heyday.

Though Minnesota’s Triple D chicken scene remains small with just one featured spot, the quality speaks volumes. Sometimes it only takes one exceptional restaurant to put a state on the culinary map, and Gordy’s Hi-Hat did exactly that for Minnesota chicken lovers.
