“A great stop for Happy Hour with friends or family meal. The selections are delicious, the service fantastic! Looking forward to an outstanding Mother's day brunch. It's one of my favorite places to dine.Parking: I've always found a spot. During special mall events it be comes more of a challenge, but I have always been able to park conveniently.“
“Lake Room is our favorite date night spot. Worth the drive for us. Shoutout to the bartender, Demi, who always makes fantastic cocktails. The kitchen puts out great food too. All around a must-try restaurant that will entice you to come back again and again.“
“A lovely mom-and-pop restaurant that gives excellent value for $$. Everything is made from scratch in what I’d call a Latino Fusion style. I’ve only been there for lunch, where I’ve tried and highly recommend the Sandwich de Carne, Sandwich de Pernil, and Stuffed Poblano. Yummy house desserts include Tres Leches Cake, Crème Caramel, and Coffee Flan. Haven’t sampled the wine or beer, but the Arnie Palmer was delicious with homemade lemonade, not overly sweet. Décor is minimal but with fine-dining touches such as cloth napkins and fresh flower bouquets on each table. Great care obviously goes into each aspect of Cahill Bistro. Best of all, the staff is genuinely welcoming and attentive. Not to be missed!“
“I'm gonna go ahead and add to these 5* reviews because they deserve them! We ordered at least 3 times back to back. The owner recognized me on the 2nd visit, which I appreciated. The pizza is always fresh, looks AMAZING, tastes GREAT, AND THE OWNER HANDS YOU YOUR FOOD WITH PRIDE! Oh! Yes, vegan sausage (soy) and vegan cheese (non soy ? ) available. One of my visits, there was a young man doing homework and eating pizza. It was a picturesque moment of a student after school hanging at the pizza spot. The prices are decent, too. Even though I do carry out, I made sure to tip because of the quality service and food.The photos are the first visit. Each visit after has been just as beautiful and tasty. I ordered without cheese, just to see how flavorful the sauce was. The sauce was SO flavorful, I did not miss cheese. Mind = BLOWN. The owner put me on to "fried peppers." When I tell you they add heat?!? So delicious! They are the peppers on the non-cheese pizza in the photos. Fresh veggies. Fresh basil! We love the crust. Crispy, chewy, and yummy! This place is worth it. Awesome location, tables and chairs to eat in, cute window seating, and super cool vibe. Seriously, give them some of your time and money.3.2.24 UPDATE: Back again... THEY DO NOT MISS! This is what you call CONSISTENCY! Today was a cheese pizza with Italian seasonings and light white onion on half. They NAILED it! No need to request extra cheese or well done. This is real pizza.Vegetarian options: Vegan cheese and sausage (soy) available“
“One of the best MN distilleries, IMO. Every spirit I've had is smooth and well balanced. Their blue agave tequila is one of my favorites and something I drink in the rocks. Tried their spiced rum today and it's just as good. Not overly sweet or cloying like a lot of rums can be. Nice notes of cinnamon, allspice, and anise. The taproom is really laid back but can get loud and hard to hear folks you're talking with. The service of amazing and ordering by QR core at the table makes everything really smooth. They've got some bar snacks and Heggies of you don't want to order in. Their cocktails are all well balanced, strong, and not overly sweet. It's one of my favorite places to grab a drink since it's not pretentious like a lot of other cities lounges or "rustic" like you get in the country. Just a lot of people looking to have a drink or two and get some good conversation.“
“Unfortunately couldn't capture a photo because we ate the food so fast!We ordered the gyro, waslad, and boy we could not have been happier with our meal. The spices, tenderness, and how they fried their food could not have been more perfect. Their sauces are spicy yet not overwhelming. I'm surprised I haven't heard of this place, it should be on everyone's hot list for the Twin Cities.“
“Great brewery set up right on Lake Minnetonka. They have a good selection of IPA and 8 other beers of varying style. The taproom is cozy and situated quasi-restaurant style. Staff was prompt and friendly on my visit. There was also a Voyageur Sauna onsite during my visit. Matt the Sauana Steward was simply amazing. Knowledgeable about temperature therapy, and beer, snd engaging. I for sure want to check them out in the spring/summer to watch the boats pull up. And also want to come and watch a Vikings game on their outdoor screen on the patio.“
“A cosy brewery where you can sit down with your buds and enjoy every sip. They have a good variety of beers on tap and few seasonal ones as well. You can have free popcorns on the side to enjoy with your beers. They have limited seating for up to around 10 tables, so chose a not so busy time to go there and make the most of it. ?“
“Great coffee spot for working remotely. Has an industrial feel with high ceilings. Quiet and clean. Enjoyed my ham and cheese scone from Amy’s Cupcake Shoppe. It was tasty and fresh. Met a friend for coffee and this was the perfect spot located off Excelsior Blvd in Excelsior.“
“I met up with some friends to do the wine and tarot card reading event for Halloween night. Tickets had to be pre-purchased. Located in a small business strip with a shared parking lot. When we got there we sat at an high table and ordered some wine glasses and snacks sold at the wine room while waiting for our readings. Wine and food was good. Overall experience was fun and I'd like to come Back and try other menu items too.“
“Great customer service from the moment we walked in. Very personable and came and checked on us before he left. Food was great! Glad we stopped in today. I also have never seen a restaurant have a sauce bar, and we loved that!Kid-friendliness: My kid is as able to get up and walk around and felt comfortable with him standing and being a toddler“

“Our first time stopping at this location as we passed through while traveling. James from the second we walked in was an absolute class act! Customer service was phenomenal and recommendations were even better. We came in a little unsure of what we wanted and James gave us some excellent recommendations. The Bulldog and Shih Tzu did not disappoint! Huge dogs, loaded with toppings and the bread was delicious! Thank you James and Dog Park we will be back!“
“I loved the nostalgic 50’s look and feel of Wagner’s drive in burger joint the food was cooked hot, fresh and fast it was impressive I loved the food and prices the service of my waitress was awesome she was very polite professional and friendly I would gladly recommend anyone who wants a high quality burger or other good food at low prices with impressive impeccable customer service go and try this small family friendly restaurant anytime your in the area!!!“
“Had never been here before, stopped in for a burger. Ordered a Smoke Jumper Burger and was hugely impressed by how good it was. The lady working at the front desk was also very friendly and her service was perfect. Very very reasonably priced for the quality of the food and experience.“
“The beer can be hit or miss in my experience, for the cost especially if can be disappointing... Usually it's at least decent but have had a few beers that have made me just want a macro instead. Happy to have them here though, what a location and bike friendliness is so appreciated. Always worth supporting.“
“Best frozen custard I've ever had! It wasn't too sweet like others I've had before. They had quite a few options, I had the hot fudge sundae with banaa and my hubs had the banana split. The workers were all teens and they were super friendly and helpful. Parking spot is small because there is a drive thru (DRIVE THRU FOR FROZEN CUSTARD!! BRILLIANT!). Line went fast though. Wish we had this in the Bay Area. Wish we had better behaved teens with strong work ethic in the Bay Area. LOL! Cause these teens who work here would be a great example. You need to definitely head over to this spot. Great service and the best FROZEN CUSTARD!“
““At The Block, the culinary road trip was as delightful as a smooth drive on a set of fresh tires from Suburban Tire Storage (STS).”Starting off, the pork belly appetizer was sweetuptuois - a term we’re coining right now, much like how we at STS coined the most hassle-free tire storage service. The corn fritters were a revelation, flaky and sweet, like the satisfaction of finding the perfect winter tires for that first snowfall.The ground chicken sandwich, masquerading as a burger, was a bit on the dry side, needing a sauce as robust as our tire protection guarantee. The dry rub, however, was as reliable as our delivery service - decent and dependable. The Royal with Cheese? A double burger with a hue as vibrant as our STS logo, reminding us that sometimes, the best things in life are bold and straightforward.The beer selection was as varied as our tire inventory, suitable for a business dinner that doesn’t skimp on quality or value. And the atmosphere? The indoor patio was as inviting as our STS storage facility, especially when Keith graciously opened the windows to merge nature with nurture.“So next time you’re cruising through St. Louis Park, pull over at The Block for a bite. And when it’s time to switch those tires, steer into Suburban Tire Storage - where we treat your wheels like gourmet meals.”“
“This review is long overdue, but I came here when I was visiting my fiancee's family in Minneapolis around Thanksgiving weekend. His brother and sister in law brought us and the rest of the family here for a quick lunch. The bartender that took our order provided amazing service by accommodating all our orders since we were a large group. The pretzel is to die for! It's so large and meant for sharing. I'm from NYC, and this pretzel outperforms better than the stale hot dog stand pretzel you'd find here. I loved the turkey sausage sandwich with the variety of toppings they have. I wish this place were closer to home, but I'd have to wait until I'm back in Minnesota to stop by this place!“
“I was here for a breakfast meeting. It was excellent. I had scrambled eggs and an excellent, fresh rosted coffee. The meeting room is quiet and well equipped. In the shop you find small exhibitions of local artists that make the atmosphere cozy. You can buy artworks in the shop. The staff is very friendly and served us quickly.“

“I don't know exactly how to rate North Coop I recently ate lunch there because their food is Good and Tasty, Service Adequate, Atmosphere Average.My reservation comes with the "portion size".I ordered the Catfish Entree that came with Rice and Beans & cornbread. The Catfish fillet was one fillet that was the really small...approximately 3 to 4 oz. And the Rice and Beans maybe 4 tablespoons, also small.Total for lunch $25.00 with tip. (See attached receipt).So, NO MORE lunches at North Coop, which is sad, because I really do like their food.“
“Munkabeans Coffeehouse in Hopkins has a warm, fresh, homemade feel. From the blueberry muffins cooling on the counter to the local artists’ work displayed on the walls, the coffee shop has a neighborhood vibe that is very inviting. My husband ordered a Cinnabon Latte coffee and shared a sip with me. It was so good, I ordered my own. I also purchased some of the available artwork for sale. ❤️“
“Very inviting place. Nice open floor and very clean. Service is amazing and the beers they make are some of the best around. Nice snacks available as well. Always a fun experience when you go. Definitely one of the better places to go to. So much fun to be here. Even got to see some dogs joining the place. Outside seating is also fun. Looking for a nice place to meet friends at lunch it is a great choice.“
“Visited Boom Island Brewing Company and Taproom for their Lord of the Rings Night and it was an unforgettable experience! The dedication to cosplay transformed the place, making it feel as though we'd stepped right into Middle-earth. The theme-appropriate music was the cherry on top. I was there for 5 hours, and even though I missed the trivia, I had a fantastic time. It's worth noting they host trivia every Thursday at 6:30 pm, which I'll definitely not miss next time. The atmosphere was inviting, their kombucha was delicious, and the Hana Bistro food truck was top-notch. Highly recommend for an immersive themed evening!“
“Excelsior Brewing is now one of the best breweries in the twin cities. I used to think their beers were just ok, but they have seriously stepped up their game in the past couple of years. The strawberry cream ale, spiced dark ale (can’t remember the exact name!) and their s’mores beer are unique and tasty. Their location in excelsior is great and their trivia night on Thursdays is super fun. Don’t always head to Minneapolis for great beer- Excelsior is where it’s at!!!!“
“We were so impressed with the food at Pub 819. My husband said his veggie burger was very tasty and my turkey burger was so healthy with spinach, tomato & cucumber and the seasoning was super delicious. We ordered a Malbec wine and a Makers Mark mixed drink. A perfect meal. We rated it 10 out of 10 and can’t wait to return.“
“Marybeth was an incredible waitress and made sure we knew everything about where the food was sourced and her recommendations. They have nothing but absolutely delicious locally-sourced food, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. You can tell so much care, thought and intention goes into the food here.We were a group of 12 and we were able to sit all together for my birthday.“
“The self-pour experience went much better than I expected. I poured 10oz hazy IPAs, which was fine, because I can always pour a few more oz if I want to. A few oz of Bear'leywine.? No problem.Eclectic food choices, with many meatless choices. Pizza crust was soft, but burnt on the bottom. Servers were very helpful.“
“Excellent food with small town charm. Server was fantastic and the liver was cooked perfectly. Burger was hand made and perfect as well. Their version of Alfredo potatoes was very rich. The French onion soup had great flavor and ranks high on my list of soups.“
“Newly remodeled. Ordered the everything pizza (it was just ok), fish and chips were great, and so were the fried mushrooms. Overall, the food was good. We arrived at a peak time and got the last 2 available seats at 6 pm on a Friday (and the last parking spot in the lot). The bartender/server was very attentive and friendly. The fish and mushrooms were excellent and obviously made fresh to order. Being so busy, there was a lag or a bit of a kitchen miscommunication on food being ready, we waited 45 minutes, so a drink was given on the house - very nice. They were having a meat raffle, which was easy to participate in because the person handling it came to our table. The ceiling is high, so the acoustics made it a bit of a challenge to hear my friend talking, so we had to lean in to hear each other. I'd for sure go back because it's in such a convenient spot, and their tap beer selection was pretty good with something for everyone.“
“Been here a few times. Solid beer, lots of options, unique atmosphere. The winning point though is the owners. They're engaged, nice, and accommodating. We went in with our 2 and 4 year olds and they gave them suckers and a fun little whip cream treat!“
“Had brunch at Three Squares Restaurant today and ordered the truffle burger with sweet potato fries. The service was commendable, and my food arrived swiftly within 15 minutes. While the truffle flavor in the burger was a bit subdued for my taste, I still enjoyed the meal. It’s rare to find sweet potato fries these days, and it was a delightful addition. I would suggest introducing a special house dip, perhaps a blend of mayonnaise and ketchup, which pairs excellently with sweet potato fries.“
“Happy Garden Happy 2024! I wish I could just say sorry to say this. Tje food is and was great as usual. I wish I could have started my New Year eating some really good food like yours! It isnʼt like me to say someyhing like this. I hope it didnʼt get negative, I do get her point. And no bad feelings here. I want a good fortune and Im six percent Asian anyway Im a tiger on the Chinese zodiac and I grew up near Chinatown on Cermak Ave in Chicago Illinois USA!Please know Im sorry for tjis review and Im taking it down! Continue to Shine!Vegetarian options: Rice and vegetables!Parking: Accessible!“
“I brought a group of individuals with special needs here. Spencer was very accommodating and some regulars were nice enough to switch lanes (even though we didn't need them to). We had a great time and will be back again!Wheelchair accessibility: I was able to easily maneuver multiple wheelchairs in the bowling area.“
“Decided to go check this place out yesterday before they closed for the season and it was a good idea the service was great really friendly and fast I really like how everyone help each other but it was really uncomfortable when the bartender started swearing when there's like a lot of kids around, it made my wife feel uncomfortable otherwise great place to enjoy some drinks, I'm totally going back next season“

“Stopped here in between events at Paisley Park to kill time. Coffee bar hours are from 8am-2pm so there was a limited coffee menu available.Ordered the hot nitro with a shot of dark chocolate. Pretty good coffee and very friendly employees.This is actually a family and pet friendly place with some games for kids and a patio area when the weather is nice. They also host different food trucks. There were a number of families with kids enjoying themselves while I was there.“
“Had a client lunch here and enjoyed the place very much Menu had good options I had the squash salad and added salmon for the protein A bit expensive as I think the meal was $ 20 but didn't seem outrageous Staff was pleasant and attentive The outdoor space looked nice with little lights which I always enjoy Tucked into a strip mall and right off the highway so easy spot to get to stop in if you are in the area!“
“The Golden Nugget is just so consistent!!We caught the end of Happy Hour at 5 PM but got a drink at full price and a second one for $1. Solid ?The food is full of value. Burgers are above average. The fennel sausage flatbread was extraordinary!Our server was a Pro’s Pro! Read our table perfectly!What a fun dining experience!!“
“I frequent this establishment, always awesome burgers and sweet tater fries! and staff is always so friendly! (but not friendly enough to keep bugging you!)Vegetarian options: They offer impossible burger patties on any of their burgers! :)“
