Restaurants in Stillwater

“Kristin was friendly, attentive, and efficient. Food was delicious and arrived faster than I would have expected.”

“One of the best restaurants on the east side of the twin cities, if you love wine with awesome food,this owner along with the staff, which is key, know how to serve the two together to have an unforgettable dinner. The wine shop has some phenomenal choices of wines you will not find anywhere else. Stillwater’s Domacin is a destination ❤️🍷🥂❤️”

“There are a lot of fancy places to eat in Stillwater, Minnesota, but you're never going to get anything better than this meatloaf. And if you're lucky enough to have Mary wait on you, all the better. I'm seriously not kidding. Don't skip this Meatloaf.”

“Were there last Saturday night with friends for dinner and the festivities outside. Had a great time and very impressed with the service. Some of our party were very late (got lost), but the server and host both were very accommodating. It's been years since we've been there from out-of-state, but thought both the food and event were great. Only small criticism, get a band that plays mostly German songs - don't need to hear oldies from this country at German event (e.g. Neil Diamond?).”

“MUST GO! Cocktails are unlike anything you will find anywhere else. Our Server, Brenna, was helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. The comfortable seating & light music make it a great place for a date or gathering with friends. And, prices are reasonable. We each had 2 cocktails and split the generous cheese platter for $100. Highly recommend!”

“We came in for their amazing shamrock shake martini! The hostess and the waitress were lovely! We were in a hurry due to hockey practice and they were on their A game getting us in and out while still providing a fun experience! Cheers🍀🍀🍀🍀”

“Why have we waited so long to come back here?! Food and service were impeccable. If you are craving some awesome Greek food and a cozy environment, Phil’s Tara Hideaway is the spot. We will be back very soon!”

“My mom and I stopped in for lunch. I ordered the lunch ribs. They were some of the biggest ribs I have ever had. Lots of meat and so good! The sides had alot of flavor and everything was fresh. My toddler even approved! I would definitely go back!”

“Every single dish we had was phenomenal! We gave compliments to the chef on truly inspired creations. Our favorite may have been the Brussels sprouts, but we truly loved everything we tried. The service was great - friendly, quick, knowledgeable. Thank you to the whole team for making our 20th Anniversary celebration so wonderful.”

“FABULOUS! My husband and I rarely try new places but this time we decided to go out of the norm. Cannot say enough great things. We sat at the bar and Timmy took care of us. Chef’s kiss 😘 We will be back!”

“We came to Stillwater for a nighttime get away and stumbled upon Sal’s. We were seated immediately, greeted by our waitress, Penny with a smile and great conversation! The menus had great variety and was delicious! This place is worth the trip for us and we WILL be back! Thanks Penny for your awesome service that made our visit that much better!”

“Amazing owners!!! Very very friendly!! LOCAL!!! The Juice is the most UNIQUE ive ever had and Original!!!”

“The "Kiss of the Geisha" sushi roll was some of the best sushi that I have ever had. We asked for a recommendation from the friendly server, and that roll hit the spot! Spicy, crunchy, and the fish and crab were excellent quality. Good portion of Wasabi on the side. The saki options offered were great as well. Sitting at the sushi bar is a fun and entertaining experience. Great sushi chefs and great servers.”

“We had a Fantastic! time this weekend at the wine, cheese and chocolate tasting! Lots of fun treats to be had. We will be back... Thank you!”

“Trout Benedict was amazing. Farm fresh eggs with golden yolks. Trout patty crisp on the outside. Homemade Hollandaise. Perfection.”

“What a unique hotel - beautiful stone walls and archways. Nice cafe and restaurant right there on property and easy walk to river or shops, restaurants and bars. Everyone was wonderful and very helpful. I only wish I could have stayed longer!”

“Fabulous service, delicious food and great prices!!! I’m glad we found this place, we look forward to our next visit!”

“Delicious food great service! We will definitely be back!”

“Amazing food selections from Chilaquiles to Duck Enchiladas, but so many more new food options in addition to a wide array of Mezcal selections! Great staff, friendly service and fun dining vibe. Soon to be the best spot in town!”

“What we ordered was ok. The “ceviche” was just boiled shrimp with chopped onions, the shrimp was obviously not cooked with citric acid. Also there’s a “banh mi bowl” on the menu but the ingredients are Korean bulgogi and kimchi, nothing Vietnamese about it. You can’t just call a dish something because it sounds vaguely Asian to you. Good beer selection, cheese curds authentic.”

“Great food. Love the decor!”

“****do NOT recommend**** Waited 10 minutes for our table only to see that literally only a handful of table were being used. Ok fine… then waited over 20 minutes to be greeted by our waiter. Order an app and our entrees. Then waited literally over an hour for our app to come out and 30 seconds for our entrees. Hostess tells me “it is what it is” and Manager acted as if it wasn’t a big deal that literally we’d been there for almost an hour and a half waiting!!!! Tyler apologies and takes the blame but management only takes a measly appetizer off our bill. We order two pizzas which came out cold and raw and an app and she only takes off an app. Worst place ever. Disappointed!!! Only thing this place had going for it was the view aside from that everything else wasn’t worth our time”

“The BEST place to buy ice cream. VERY generous portions. It’s delicious!!”

“Best coffee ever!!”

“Friendly and quick service! Tried a few different options and always on point good!”

“Phenomenal food and service! 10/10!”

“We eat here regularly! The coffee options are amazing, we love the Viet & Chai options as well. Breakfast is never a miss, great avo toast and breakfast Sammy options. We love the buffalo wrap for lunch (fries are unreal) and also the curry! The vibe is always calm, hip and friendly. We have business here & take friends as well!”

“top notch boba, good vibes if you're into good-hearted people, and epic tournaments. Go here.”

“We love going to Art’s- it’s our new favorite coffee stop. They have great drinks, great customer service, and they always have something for the dogs too! They have a drive thru and a walk up- which is great for when we have the dogs out on a walk.”

“I felt like I was at a European pastry shop!”

“Love the @Greenbridge Coffee Shop 😊 Great staff, atmosphere, COFFEE, scones & muffins …. Oh My!! **Below is a Gluten Free Banana Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Muffin** It was ABSOLUTELY DELISH😋”

“Tried their ice pops at the Harvest Festival! The dark chocolate fudge was divine! Like a not too sweet pudding pop 🤤! My husband really enjoyed his pecan maple pop!”

“Lisa G., Janae was our waitress, too. We were the “3-J’s”: Joe, Junna, and Janae. Janae was swift, attentive, beautiful, and cheerful. She was always right there to refill my water glass. I wonder if she ran track in high school; she was fast!”

“Food is great and beer is cold. Staff is super friendly!”

“Almost never post especially about deli/sandwich stores. But this is the first time in my life I've been to a fast food i.e. not restaurant where all the employees were smiling, working and on point. I felt like I was in a 50s TV show, but it was in color. Will definitely return.”

“Delicious sandwiches 🥪! Would definitely recommend to everyone!”

“Great little get together spot. small and cozy. Great service! Great prices.”

“Stopped in on 1/29/26 evening. The server was very informative of what was on tap. Described them to make a choice. Tried a flight to have a sample of 4 different offerings.
Server was friendly and carried on a conversation- great asset to the team!! Fair price - friendly - great atmosphere. Worth a stop”

“They have a whole list of vegan options with tofu, mock duck and veg only dishes. Fresh ingredients, large serving sizes, quick service, the veggie egg rolls were soo good and huge! Would go back! Updated from previous review on 2026-09-15”

“The bar tender, Donna May (sp?) is an incredible wealth of information about what to do around town and all aspects of the Stillwater community. We learned more in 15 minutes of talking with her than any brochure or travel blog. It’s cash only but they have an atm. Highly recommend!”

“We had a rehearsal dinner here yesterday and everyone we encountered with River Siren was amazing and helpful. Everyone! Thank you.”

“I loved it. I got the 3 tacos (asada y chorizo) with rice and beans and it was greattt! Coming from somebody who eats authentic food a lot the tacos were great especially compared to other Mexican restaurants. The restaurant is beautiful and I would come back again!”

Funny thing… I was only going to have one, but somehow, two (okay, maybe three) just happened. No regrets! With so many great flavors, stopping at just one is a challenge!”

“I felt like I was at a European pastry shop!”

“Great selection of spices. Found my much sought after cinnamon sticks. Has various grinds of ancient sea salts from fine to very large pieces. This place smells amazing! Love this place!”

“Andrew went above and beyond, his customer service was exceptional, served us our food and beverages and even silverware and napkins, we come frequently and he is always friendly and a pleasure to be around.”

“I’ve had those peanut butter balls among other tasty treats Cindy used to bring into our work. Great bakers!!”

“I've picked up a few orders from the restaurant lately and dined in last night. It is always great to see the staff genuinely having a great time at work while treating others like they're part of the family lakes again and we love it and will come back!”

“Another successful event made sweeter by Keys Cafe and Bakery! Whether it’s the Hudson, Stillwater, or any other location, you’re always welcomed and taken care of. There is seriously no shortage of customer service and support, quality ingredients and execution, alongside beautifully crafted and delivered homemade goods. A huge shoutout to Abigail and Amy at the Stillwater location! They brought our vision of a mini dessert bar to life and people are still talking about how incredible everything was. Thank you so much and do not hesitate On Keys Cafe for your next catering/event needs.”

“Just relocated to Stillwater and have ordered pizza here two times. Absolutely delicious pizza! Better than any chain pizza. Will be our regular pizza place for sure.”

“Everything is so delicious! Hands down my favorite Chinese restaurant.”

“This is a wonderful place and I've always had good experiences here. I don't come here too often, but when I do the food is always really above average. It reminds me of the times I've been to Italy 🇮🇹 and have eaten there. Tonight I sat at the bar and a friendly bartender named Kyrkee(?) served me. She is an about as good as a bartender as a person can expect. You won't be disappointed if you come here.

Bring the kids...”

“Today I was at brueggers in the morning and it was white hectic and busy but the people working there were very kind and quite efficient getting everyone their orders. But it did seem a bit messy”

“Ate here for the first time today while visiting Stillwater and both my husband and I were absolutely blown away by how amazing everything was here. The atmosphere and staff were great, the food came out quickly even though they were very busy. We tried the French toast, beignets, lattes, mimosas, chocolate chip banana bread, chocolate chip cookie, peanut butter cookie, plbirthday cake cookie (yes we bought a lot to take home with us). Everything was beyond stellar. Never had a better chocolate chip cookie in my life.”

“Let's not let minors drink and then boot them out at closing time without knowing if they are getting home safe.”

“I was Happy to try the Flamethrower Burger w/Fries,along with a Medium drink/Flurry(Awesome service worthy of 10,000/10,000 of awesomeness)”

“Such a neat little ice cream shop”

“The breakfast is best in town for stillwater for a family meal or single person just wanting a excellent meal. The waitress to ask for is Luke you will get best service and customer service you can ask for.”

“I randomly chose this place during a google search for all day breakfast near Stillwater, my significant other got the banana bread French toast and I got the taco salad with chicken. Chicken wasn’t dried up, the bean to salad ratio was on point, and the salsa wasn’t overly spicy but still had a little bit of a kick. The banana bread French toast wasn’t entirely what we expected but it was delicious, had a bit of an unexpected crunch due to caramelization and it was amazing. Our waitress Kathy was amazing! Checking in on us when we didn’t have our mouths full of food and was great with our out of the ordinary requests for peanut butter and an extra bowl so I didn’t make a total mess of the taco salad. 10/10 service! Will definitely be coming back again Thank you Kathy for making our first experience here amazing!”

“If you go to No Neck Tony's in Stillwater, do yourself a favor and order the burnt sugar old fashioned — it is hands down the BEST one I’ve had in my life. The drinks all around were phenomenal, perfectly crafted, and worth raving about. The atmosphere was lively, fun, and made the whole experience even better. Definitely a spot we’ll keep coming back to!”

“Atmosphere is nothing to note. We were heading back home to Milwaukee and needed to grab something first. Went in at lunch time and decided on pizza. Best pizza I’ve ever had. We’ll definitely remember this place on our next venture to Stillwater.”

“Great food, great atmosphere and great service!”

“I stopped in here today, a cold wet December lunchtime, and got an absolutely wonderful bowl of hot and sour soup. The flavors were perfect… it was fresh tasting with a great balance of hot and sour and a lot of tofu; it was just delightful. So delightful in fact that I got the Thai basil chicken and took it home for dinner (-: Just finished having that for supper and it also was awesome! Service was prompt and very polite, the restaurant was immaculately clean and the menu was broad. I asked another couple who were there having Pho, and they said it was always fantastic, so I will be going back regularly. There’s nothing more warming and comforting than a big bowl of pho on a cold winter day!”

“Culver's is always good; polite, clean and consistent.
Admittedly, we only stopped for a bio-break because they always have clean restrooms. Alas, something must have been in the beef that night (or the air - there was an air quality alert) as all stalls were full of patrons crafting thier own Flavor of the Day.
After a few impatient minutes, we moved on.”

“Great food”
