Restaurants in White Bear Lake

“Great food every time, with so many options to choose from, and great people!”

“I almost order a pizza from Dominos (med pan 3 toppings) total for delivery was $30.75 before tip. Got a lunch and appetizer delivered. $27.00 with tip. AND THIS WIIL TASTES GOOD instead of cardboard with tomato soup on it.”

“The food was piled high and tasted homemade. However, our waitress left little to be desired. Took half our drink order then disappeared. When she showed back up the remaining 3 people tried to order their drinks and she cut us off asking 'are you getting food?'. We'd like to order our drinks before our food. Then when all of our drinks arrived our food showed up at the same time. It took less time to get our food than coffee and water. She was short, rude and kind of ruined our experience.”

“They serve super tasty, fresh sandwiches, salads and so much more! I love their Oriental salad and Zany Mullany sandwich combo. Open for breakfast too, Service is fast and prices are very reasonable. The staff is so fun -- I always come away happy that I stopped in!”

“What a cute little place! I ordered the kalbi bibimbap. The beef was plenty and so well seasoned and tender. The rice was cooked perfectly. All the sides that came in it like the carrot and picked cucumbers were so perfect and delicious. It has all the korean flavors I was craving. The service was also fantastic. The owners were so kind and friendly. I will be coming back :-)”

“The Gyro (Döner) plate and red lentil soup were both exceptional! Fair prices, kind staff, fast service! Wondering why this place doesn’t have a line down the street!”

“Excellent food! Skillfully prepared and seasoned beautifully. Have visited twice and will go back for sure. Also, their sister restaurant, Mizu, is amazing as well.”

“I just ate here for lunch amazing pizza ? do not pass this spot up thinking it’s another pizza shop it’s not. Real Authentic people and pizza don’t miss the chance to taste how simple pizza can be, top 3 pizza places in this state if you ask me!”

“As an Asian from SoCal, my boba standards are pretty high. Hello Boba has the best boba drinks in MN by far. This is my husband and I’s new go-to place. So glad we discovered this gem!!!”

“Great little spot,! Service is great super friendly.
The dogs are amazing!

The kids here attract a trendy croud!
Do yourself a favor and stop by and support this local kiddos.
It's a great place.”

“Food is good. Stopped in for dinner last night. 12 bucks for a Sam Adams Oktoberfest on tap seems a little excessive.”

“The green curry was wonderful!!”

“Best food i ever had i had never eaten a mexican food like this but they made this food with love and this is the best mexican food truck ever please stop by to order food it will make your day”

“Great vibes, great staff.
We came in while exploring our pub pass locations both this and last year and they don't disappoint! It's a nice area with a bit of a lake view from inside. Outside seating with games and stuff.
The passion fruit seltzer was amazingly flavorful and the pizza (we got the combo) was pricey but good. Nice and crispy with a good amount of toppings and cheese. Had a lovely time!”

“First time here. You order at the counter here, then food is brought out. The pancakes and sausage were fantastic! Nice little place to meet someone to catch up or stop to grab a coffee. Also have outdoor seating for the nicer days.”

“Just discovered this little gem in White Bear Lake! Amazing gelato and locally owned by an incredible family! The kids and I have already gone several times and plan to head back soon.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Best Sub sandwich in town!! Bonus the ice cream and Dole Whip flavors are worth the weekly visit!!”

“Best hot chocolate I’ve ever had”

“Frankie was great at recommending the right single malt!”

“This place is a solid dive bar that takes you right back to the '70s. It's not fancy, just good drinks at great prices. The place is super relaxed, and the crowd is friendly and laid-back. It’s in the heart of downtown. This bar is an adults type place, though—wouldn't recommend bring the kids. If you're looking for a no-frills spot to grab a drink and relax, this is it. Highly recommend!”

“One of the best and most unique cafes to visit on long wintery days in Minnesota. It gives you that Dubai vibe, and a great place you should check out.”

“Helping others in need is 💯 in my book, keep up the good work!”

“This was my first time and it won’t be the last. Thank you for a spectacular dinner last Saturday night. A few of my neighbors and I had a great time. Hopefully we can bring more people next time.”

“Yummy blue berry scones and of course coffee!”

“Overall great atmosphere and the food is quite good other than the fries which gave me a yucky tummy from the grease. I was shocked, however, to be charged $7 for hot tea! SEVEN DOLLARS. Seriously? It's water and a cheap tea bag. 🤨 Another reason to stick with lukewarm tap water when eating out. Also be aware that there is a 2.9% fee for using a credit card. I'm not sure if it's noted on the menu but it's on the bottom of the check.”

“Haven’t been here in a long time and picked it up last nite. Highly recommend! All dishes we got were fresh and delicious! My daughter has celiac and sam said anything on the menu can be gluten free, she loved the chicken and broccoli and he even packaged it separately to ensure it was safe for her. Highly recommend!”

“Beautiful, well maintained and the baked goods were AMAZING! Easy to get to, lots of fun things to do (corn maze, hay ride, trail to walk on and a pumpkin patch). Very friendly staff.”

“My husband and I were in the area so we decided to stop in. We were on a time crunch so we ordered some easy stuff such as finger foods and fried rice. I was in the mood for something beefy but wasn't really in the mood for pho or anything soupy so I ordered the beef bulgogi instead. The food took a while to be served but the server was pretty cool so we didn't mind. When we got our food, the finger food was pretty good. The spicy fried chicken we ordered was good. The fried rice was bland. The bulgogi, however was disappointing. Instead of using a type of meat with some marble in it, they used the eye round, the leanest part of the cow, and grilled it up. I get it. It's already sliced thinly for pho but the eye round pieces that was used was pretty thick. The whole thing was dry and chewy. There was barely any sauce glazed over the meat. Please don't be cheap. If you're going to put a certain dish on your menu, serve it properly with the correct type of meat. If you don't want to use a more expensive cut such as ribeye, which is the correct section of beef to use, then go with the chuck meat. We hear good things about the sushi so maybe next time we'll stop in for that.”

“Quality ingredients, affordable meals, comfortable atmosphere. one of my favorite stops!”

“delicious food, great prices, and great employees!”

“Visited soft open tonight as we saw the info when we were in White Bear Lake on Sat. Service and atmosphere were great, a bit disappointed in menu and pricing as it is the same as the Alchemist. $90 for pizza & 3 beverages!!”

“CASH ONLY BAR
The drinks are very well priced. Bartenders and bouncers were thorough, but friendly. There are multiple pool tables, and dart boards each in their own sections seperated from the bar so you don't have to worry about being crowded while trying to play.”

“I always find caribous to be comfortable inviting places when I dine-in and pretty fast through the drive-thru. My orders are always correctly done. And tastes really good.”

“We have been regulars for over 5 years and absolutely LOVE this place. The sesame chicken, PHO, spring rolls, won tons and pad thai always come out perfect. So so good and reasonably priced!”

“Food was good. However I wish they had larger pizzas than family size 16 inches. 20 inches can provide my leftovers. I also wish they were deals that included family size pizzas”

“Tuesday tacos , tater tots , burgers , and the ribs are some of my favorites. And if you're a wing fan be ready as they are huge !!😋🍻”

“I ordered the fajitas for “two people” platter that comes with two plates of fixings (rice,beans,etc) and six tortillas.

Plenty of food for two people and you’re bringing some home too!

Free chips and salsa! Affordable Mexican food and a lot of it!”

“Amazing service, quick and delish!”

“Really cool place - was there on an awful first date, otherwise I would have liked to have stayed longer and tested a couple of mocktails and some food - but escape was my primary motivation at the time. Staff is awesome. Drink menu creative. Smoke infused cocktails were a hot item that night. Definitely head back there again.”

“Great people! Great food! Monthly specials are fun experiments that sometimes end up on the menu. If you haven’t been in a few years, give them another try. The current team and menu are awesome.”

“Recent given a bag of these. Super convenient that they came frozen so that we could bake them whenever we wanted. The sprinkle and coffee toffee cookies were AMAZING. Obviously homemade and delicious! Seriously can’t wait to treat myself to more”

“I'm soooo bummed. What happened Dunn Bros? So sorry to see u go...”

“The 617 is a classic and comfortable drinking bar that is a destination for friends to congregate. You may just see an old aquaintance, have relaxed conversation and drinks.”

“Best Chicken Fried Rice Since Leos in St paul. I also had sweet and sour chicken and lomein. They were good as well. large portions i think its fair. i can get enough Fried rice for 2 meals with a small for 8 bucks.
The cream cheese wontons are very good. The lady that helps me is very nice. i think she is the owner. she was very helpful my first time through. Id now vote this best Fried Rice in MN.”

“Serves nice cold beers. Good music.”

“I had saved my points for a trip north to Duluth, and as is our tradition, my wife and I stopped at our favorite Caribou location before departing. I redeemed my points for a complimentary beverage and lemon loaf. While the coffee tasted fine, it was lukewarm despite our request for it to be extra hot. Although our initial interaction with the representative who took our order was excellent, the service quality diminished afterward. Unfortunately, this was not one of our better experiences at this establishment.”

“The wings are great! Went for a event and the server was not happy I went to the bar. Helpers were rude about areas you could walk in because they were busy. My husband was also given a lecture because he had a gift he was given in a pizza box that was not their's. Hopefully this is not the norm and folks just were having a bad day because those wings are worth going back for.”

“A friend recommended Pezzo for a ladies night out. My first time there. Food, service and servers were great and it was a very busy Home Coming night. I recommend it highly. I’m very thankful for the extra service I got when I needed it.”

“The best tap list in the Twin Cities northeast metro and guaranteed to have everyone’s favorite appetizer and meal on the menu. It’s a must stop for anyone visiting White Bear Lake and has the best patio in the historical downtown area. Whether you are visiting for the first time or lived here your whole life, you’ll love this place!”

“Always great coffee at this location. Yesterday was exceptionally good!”

“I had a great time, loved the place and everything looked great. I forgot her name but the pink haired girl was very nice overall I enjoyed this place definitely would come again”

“The best pizza in Minnesota after the original Red's Savoy closed, and close contender up until that point. The cheese bread is insane, and the portions for the ice cream were shockingly large. Staff have always been friendly.”

“This is my new chinese spot. It's definitely worth the money for. The beef brisket is literally to die for. It is so tender and basically melts in your mouth. The beef congee is so simple but delicious. The salt & pepper pig feet delicious, as well as the pepper getting a nice kick. The soft shell crab was amazing, it's was amazing they some how had it during the outside the season. This is possibly my opinion thr best chinese restaurant in the state of Minnesota.”

“the manager is just as rude as he was when I worked there years ago. he was VERY rude to my dad when he came in tonight and im upset my dad didn't let me go in there and say something. I don't care if it's busy and you are overwhelmed, I worked there for years and understand the stress, but you don't tell a customer you can't do something when you absolutely can, and it wasn't even your order you were doing so you should have kept your bald head back in the kitchen with your nasty tone to yourself. Dee is one of the worst managers ever, besides Nick and Terry. Dawn needs to put Dee through some kind of managment kindness courses.”

“It was a nice experience. The people who took care of us and helped us order our food and get us our food we’re great. They were friendly. They were polite and they were very helpful. It was pretty busy at the time we were there and everything went fast and smooth.”
