“AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING !!!I have been coming here for years, (since the American fries) and this is definitely my top number one breakfast spot. I love the family atmosphere. I took my husband today and my server was Sue, let me just say she is truly phenomenal at her job! Her communication is top tier, fast service and delicious delicious food! I want to say, THANK YOU for not changing your portion sizes due to the food waste. It absolutely angers me how people can possibly waste food here. The portions are out of this WORLD and definitely worth every penny you leave with plenty extra, full stomachs and don’t break the bank! How much better can it get? The only recommendation I have is please please please I beg you bring back those spectacular American fries PLEASE I BEG YOU!! You guys are amazing at what you do. Thank you again! You have customers for life. -Kaiya & Branden <3 ♥️♥️ and p.s Sue, keep doing what you do, you are greatly appreciated and seen!!!“

“Fresh and flavorful ingredients used to make mostly Ecuadorian dishes mixed with others. Try the hornado (roasted pork), which comes with a fresh tomato/onion marinated salad, cheesy potato cakes, and hominy. You won’t be disappointed! The service is great and they don’t use their drink sales as a huge profit center like many other restaurants do.“

“We love this place! It's a perfect hybrid of casual or classy dining, and everything that we've tried on the menu has always been delicious. Comfy seating, fast service, and healthy + delicious food make this an easy choice for regular visits. MUST-TRY FAVORITES: grilled brussels and bacon, ahi tuna, smoke stack burger, fish tacos, pan-fried walleye, and sweet potato fries. I regularly get the brussels as an appetizer and the ahi tuna [appetizer] as my meal.MENU UPDATE: They recently added birria tacos, which have roasted shredded beef and light-spicy, au jus-like sauce for dipping. (As of Feb 24, 2024, the website menu hasn't been updated yet.)The parking lot is very large. If parking spots only remain on the far left (west) edge row, don't worry, that means there's still a few tables open in main dining and lots open in the overflow space. If the left edge row is full, then the inside is pretty busy. Management does a fabulous job with balancing staffing because even if it's very busy, we've always been promptly seated and served. Accessibility is friendly for disabled or injured folks with flat surfaces all on the main level.If you come on a Friday or Saturday, I recommend a reservation, but it's not required. There are technically 4 seating areas -- bar (with TVs), main dining (fireplace and golf course views), overflow dining (cooler temps), and the seasonal outdoor patio. The bar and main dining area both have booths and tables with cushioned chairs. (The "cushioned" chair aspect is important for me since I have back issues.) The bar atmosphere is open and naturally louder. You can request a *tall* booth in the main dining area if you want more privacy.Service has always been very friendly and prompt. (Special shout out to the server Talon, who just last night ran my forgotten purse all the way out to me in the parking lot. Thank you!)The menu has diverse options from dry-rub chicken wings and burgers to pastas and chicken/steak/fish entrees. There are multiple options for gluten-free, keto, or vegetarian diners. They also have a wide selection of wine and drinks.There is a kids menu, but I don't think of this as a typical place to bring young kids. If your kids are hard to wrangle or like moving around while dining out, a table in the overflow dining space could work out.If you're unsure about Stella's, just go! You won't be disappointed.“

“This is a staple when I’m in town- love bringing my dog in the summer for the patio. The menu changes regularly and everything is always amazing. Tried some chicken penne and cake this time around- the burgers are also really good especially with the caramelized onions.“

“If you want delicious food, do yourself a favor and head over. Their salad dressings are made from scratch and that's my favorite thing. The ranch is SOOO delicious! I haven't tried others but my sister and friends loved multiple other kinds. The soup and sandwiches are great, too. The desserts are great and they serve Northern Soda, which is a fun treat, too! I've gone here with multiple friends and relatives and everyone, even "hard to please at restaurants" think it's great!“

“This is a hidden gem of the northern suburbs. Just a. Few mile north of Co Rd 14 off of Hwy 61. Hustled between Hugo and Forest Lake. The Black Smith had some of the best Broasted Chicken Minnesota. This is a no frills local bar and restaurant and it's totally worth the drive. You can't beat a 1/2 chicles, potato and salad, or coleslaw for under $15.00 and less on Thursdays. And the no-frills Bar will not break your wallet. Make the trip up here any day of week!“

“The service was great And my burger was so juicy... my husband had the Elote wings and they were so good.. the wings were unlike anything I've ever had anywhere. Oh, and don't forget you want chips their chips were so good and get it with a side of their dill sour cream.. or the ranch because the ranch was really good too“

“Excellent food, brisket needs to be cooked lower and slower though, didn't retain enough moisture or smoke, the pulled pork was absolutely delicious and perfect. The pulled pork egg rolls where an interesting and refreshing spin on classic BBQ pulled pork and cabbage, speaking of cabbage the slaw was really good too but could use a bit of celery seed in my opinion.Mac and cheese bites where extremely good, addicting little morsels of fried Mac and cheese, great beer selection, I enjoyed the meal from the first bite to the last and every single item that came out of the kitchen was absolutely delicious. I'll be coming back to try the ribs and some other items and update my review accordingly.My waitress, was the most kind and genuine women I've ever had the pleasure of being serviced by, she even changed the t.v. to something else when I requested it. The best food service I've ever received.Need to deep clean the men's room, stall walls, floor etc.“

“Great food and service! They were really busy on a Friday and we didn’t have reservations but they got us in right away and into a nice curve both. The 8oz sirloin was above average. Hubs said the chicken and ribs was extra good. Our friends seemed to like the ahi and the full rack of ribs.“

“Over the top servings for breakfast, easily split the plate size omelette with my daughter. A single pancake is the size of a dinner plate. Great tasting food, great service. For Mimosa's they bring a glass of Orange juice and a small bottle of Prosecco to add. Class act!“

“We went out for dinner here and had a great time. The bartender was serving everyone drinks and was our waiter somehow and killed it. Everything was really good and the drinks were spot on as well. I look forward to coming back and make sure to get the garlic fries.“

“I absolutely ALWAYS get the kindest, most friendly, (and of course efficient) service here at Culver's on Centerville Rd. in Vadnais Heights. This is where I bring my senior citizen Mom for our lunches because the food and service is great, the tables and booths are always clean, and we can visit as long as we want!. The acoustics are such that we can talk and hear each other, which is usually a problem for my Mom. Admittedly, I usually take home a kid's size burger to eat later so that I can eat a giant custard sundae, malt, concrete mixer, or something else irresistible as my "meal". Highly recommend!!“

“Went in thinking of a typical late night bar menu.If bars had a separate class rating for the late night menus and creativity- this would be the place.Exceeded expectations completely, well done. The cheese curds and steak bites both had a really unique (and delicious) touch. The bloody Mary mix is also next level.They also have a variety of top shelf whiskeys, nothing like a Suntory Hibiki, but they have a good selection.“

“Upscale environment on the main level of new apartment buildings. Parking is inside or behind the apartments, with the center rows reserved for Oliver's. I ordered a pepperoni pizza and it came out quick. I didn't love the seasoning sprinkled on top but otherwise thought the pizza was good. Depending on your seats, you can watch your pizza being cooked. Service was great. Prices are in line with the atmosphere.“

“It's a very open bar and they have some TV's to watch sports. They had a band playing the night I was there and it's nice that they have bands. There is room to dance if a band is playing. The food was good, comparable to most bar food. It's wheelchair accessible. They had a cover charge when the band played. Definitely a fun place!“

“Quick stop here for a birthday drink! Their bloody Mary's are very good! The staff was very welcoming and accommodating to the customers. They are good for any size group and close to the hockey stadium near by for post game celebrations. A great place to watch sporting events too.“

“First time here and it was a pretty good experience. I appreciate how the restaurant offers reservations... just makes it so much easier for everyone. Unfortunately, I did not see any staff at the hostess stand when I arrived however, my party was already seated. I've heard nothing but fantastic things about the all you can eat fish fry here, so that's what actually brought me here. Fantastic! Fish was hot, crispy, and not greasy; also served with tartar sauce. You also get a generous amount of fries which were great... I love a good zesty fry. Coleslaw was tasty as well. I had to get the mini donuts for dessert and those were delicious. Tasty, hot, and perfectly sugared. There were a few things I'd like to try on the menu... Buffalo chicken wontons, cheese curds, and the burger. I'll have to come back next time I'm in the area. I'd say our waitress wasn't very attentive and not too friendly.... Just kinda felt like she didn't want to be there. However, the food made up for it. Restaurant is large, well lit, and clean.“

“Love restaurant week! The beef bourguinon with mashed potatoes and demi-glace was delicious and so tender it melted in my mouth. Our server Alex was a delight. Located on the other side of town from me but well worth the extra time to get there. I'll definitely go back to try some other dishes.“

“Best breakfast in Minnesota! We love coming here for a delicious, hardy meal after church. It's also a preferred breakfast destination when we have family or friends in town. The menu has tons of options. Basically, eggs and omelets any way you can imagine plus a super-sized serving of hashbrowns or pancakes with most entrees. They also have incredible French toast and 4 variations of eggs Benedict. Don't forget a side a crispy bacon. YUM. If you want something that's not on the menu, if they have it in stock, they're typically happy to accommodate requests. (Like banana French toast... one of my favorites!)They include bread or toast with almost every menu item. I'm a low-carb eater, so I typically avoid bread. However, Keys has a homemade berry jam that's INCREDIBLE. The bread simply becomes a vehicle for jam consumption. Fortunately, they have sourdough and gluten-free bread options, so I don't feel as guilty for eating the bread.They have fresh baked desserts, cakes, cookies, and more that are easy take-home or pick-up treats for special events.For seating, there's walk up [cushioned] barstools [with TV view], booths, tables with wooden chairs, a hybrid booth/wooden chair option on the back wall, and seasonal outdoor seating. I have back issues, so we opt for the cushioned booths or barstools. The variety of seating makes it easy for solo or group dining. Tables can optionally be joined together for larger groups. The very back section is partially divided by a decorative wall with a fireplace, which is a great backdrop for photos and a pleasant ambiance on chilly days.There's a large shared lot to accommodate parking. For our party of 4, if there are some parking spots clearly visible, table wait time is usually around 10 minutes. If the lot is super full with only a few spots left, table wait time is 15-30 minutes depending on party size. We like visiting the next-door pet shop, Chuck n' Don's, while we wait. (Key's has nice bathrooms to easily wash up before meal time.)Service here is always friendly, and being a family-owned and run business, it's nice to see familiar faces and smiles over the years.We highly recommend Key's to everyone!“
“I love the Mermaid. The BEST pizza, cheap beer, they even have my fav Modelo on tap which you won’t find at most places. They have a huge bowling alley, axe throwing, pool, other games. The workers are always nice. Perfect place to have a bite to eat, have some drinks, and hang out.“

We had the Cajun Alfredo as well as the chicken skewers added bacon and pineapple. It was amazing with drinks of course bloody Mary and old-fashioned. Amazing service hands-down coming back every time thank you Isaac.“

“I enjoyed a small salad with a garlic dressing. It was a good size and colorful. That's all I had cause I was on my way to a Yelp event. Basil got their version of fish and chips called sunnies. Small lake fish. Two more and you'll feel like you got your money's worth. There were more bluegills served for an appetizer at Acqua recently. Fries were kind of soggy. The tarter was good. About 3PM was a good time, not busy and our server was very attentive. I'm looking forward to burgers and other meat in a couple of weeks.“

“Good food, all be it they were having issues for some reason with fries coming out cold so had to get a new order, service was good because other servers took care of us when our server was nowhere to be seen or just busy. All in all I would go return.“

“Just moved to Hugo, was excited to finally have a dairy and gluten free burger place for my wife. Really affordable pricing compared to the cities, and bigger than average portions if you like that sort of thing. Everytime I've eaten there or gotten take out we have enjoyed it and the service is top notch. It's a great American food spot and our toddler loved the pizza on the menuDietary restrictions: Gluten dairy free optionsKid-friendliness: Good kids menu“

“I have been going to this restaurant once a week for several months now. Every time I’m here we spend 2-3 hours occupying a table studying. I have never felt more welcome at a restaurant, the staff never rushes us and continues to serve us until we are ready to leave.The food is ALWAYS hot and fresh and served incredibly fast. I definitely recommend this location“

“My first visit here. It was busy, and a little slow in service/kitchen timing, but in their defense, we showed up an hour before Bingo night. Mackenzie P. was our waitress and she was hustling! Great attitude and super friendly, always checking in. Overall great experience, great Cuban sandwich and looking forward to coming back when the patio is open.“

“Ordered fish and chips for takeout. The order was ready promptly but pickup was a bit chaotic as it was Friday night during happy hour and all the servers and bar personnel were really busy, The portions were very generous for both the fish and the chips and the fish was flavorful and not overly battered. My main complaint was that the takeout containers were plastic and thus the food couldn't be rewarmed in the oven. Microwave makes the chips soggy which these were by the time I got them home. Styrofoam is equally bad for the environment but at least it could have been put in the oven to reheat. Price was fairly reasonable for the size of the portions.“
