Restaurants in Oakdale

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My 17-year-old pasta-loving daughter wanted to go out for dinner for her pre-surgery feast, and I suggested Olive Garden. To my surprise, she revealed she had never been there — cue my mom guilt! 😅

From the moment we arrived, we had a wonderful experience. Even with a full parking lot, we were seated quickly. As a wheelchair user, accessibility is important to us, and Olive Garden had plenty of space for Maddy to move around comfortably.

Our server, Jon, was fantastic! Kind, attentive, and helpful, he made Maddy feel at ease while walking her through the menu. She started with the chicken gnocchi soup, which she described as “tasting like a warm hug.” Her eyes lit up at the sight of unlimited breadsticks and, of course, the joy of endless cheese on her meal. For the main course, she chose the classic chicken fettuccine Alfredo, while I had the delicious 3-meat manicotti. Both were absolutely amazing!

And dessert? A must! We indulged in the tiramisu and the decadent 3-tier chocolate goodness. Every bite was worth it. We left completely full, but even better, Maddy now has a new favorite restaurant. She can’t wait to share her experience with her friends!

Thank you, Olive Garden, for turning what started as a “mom fail” into a memorable and joyful evening. We’ll definitely be back!

“Love the updated interior. Brings life back to a very enjoyed establishment. Always nice to see new and old faces.”

“My 4 year old had so much fun in the arcade!”

“Very authentic experience and wonderful service. We got our food very fast and you just knew everything was super fresh… the fish, the wasabi, the rice- I recommend the skewers and the Shogun roll if you like a little heat! It’s a father and son run place and it was it was really genuine to be served by people that love the art of Japanese food so much. Highly recommend even if it’s a little farther away from you.”

“Wings are very good. Onion Rings to go are terrible. Greasy and cold. (It almost seemed like they gently warmed up yesterday's leftover onion rings). I have ordered onion rings in the restaurant before and they were hot and crisp.”

“Awesome service, good food and overall a fun place. Large menu and also have a lot of Gluten Free items and are indicated on main menu. Will definitely go back! So many more dishes I want to try!”

“Delicious! And great service. Thanks Ahmed for making us feel at home!”

“Jade 88 is the best Chinese food around!! We love the dumplings and the Kung pow triple is awesome. We usually get fried rice and lo-mein too. It’s great that they are now available for delivery via Uber Eats!!”

“Good food and fast service, though the lady at the counter wasn’t very friendly. The location is clean, but I wish the lettuce was fresher—it tastes like it came straight from a bag, which gives it a plastic-like flavor. Overall, a solid spot, but the lettuce could use some improvement.””

“love this place. highly Recommend can't wait to eat here again”

“Our hockey team had an incredible experience at Wild Boar Restaurant in Oakdale, MN. From the moment we placed our order with Theresa via email, everything was seamless. When our hockey team arrived for our reservation, our appetizers, meals, and drinks were perfectly organized by family and ready at our tables. The efficiency and attention to detail made our dining experience truly exceptional. Kudos to the team at Wild Boar for their exceptional service!”

“I appreciate the friendly staff here. I was waiting in store just a short bit to pick up my order, and one of the staff actually asked me what I was waiting for so she could make sure it's coming. Thank you for caring!”

“One of the best locations.
Drinks are consistent in taste and don't vary from barista to barista.
Atmosphere is quiet and clean. Service is always A1.”

“This place is a nice little pub by my house. All the regulars are good people. The bartender Jamie always knows what I want to drink. Hands down I love bierstube.”

“Amazing Food and great service”

“Food was phenomenal! Tacos were not dry, smaller sized but high quality. Such a nice family and great hospitality. Plantains and Churros were fire. 10/10 will come ”
