Restaurants near Cannon Falls

“My family normally loves this quaint diner. Today I ordered a salad with chicken chunks in it. The chicken was so hard and crunchy/overcooked I really couldn't chew it. It was like chicken tenders that were way overcooked and cut into chunks. Also, please consider offering a gluten-free bun or bread to your menu. I know it would be appreciated. We'll definitely be back, but won't be ordering that salad again.”

“My BF and I visited here about 5 p.m., an hour before closing last Sunday evening. We had never been before, so we thought we’d check it out along with the winery next door. As it would turn out, we never left Tilion Brewing, because we enjoyed the conversation with the bartender, Michael, and Michael’s knowledge about the beers they served. Michael let us sample whatever we liked, and I don’t remember the exact names of the beers we got, but everything was awesome! Great flavors, and there was even a beer margarita we got to try, which was also super tasty and cold on that humid, muggy day. Because not only was it an hour before closing, but also it was storming outside, we wound up staying inside. Nevertheless, it really has a unique interior that’s both cozy and laid-back all at once. We have nothing but great things to say about this place, and we will definitely return in the near future.”

“High Hopes, High Prices at CannonBells Coffee

Staying nearby at Lake Byllesby Regional Park without my usual coffee stash, I went searching for the closest, best-rated coffee shop. CannonBells Coffee and Ice Cream popped up just six minutes away. I tried ordering online, but the system wouldn’t work, so I headed in to order in person.

The young man at the register seemed new but did a good job taking my order—friendly enough, though a little unsure. Based on the glowing reviews (and the prices), I was expecting a warm, welcoming vibe. Instead, the woman who seemed to be the owner or manager, while efficient, never smiled once as she made drinks and called out orders. To be fair, it was busy.

The shop has a cozy, small-town feel, the kind of place where regulars greet each other by name. On this Thursday morning it was bustling, and while I could tell people noticed I wasn’t from around here, I didn’t feel uncomfortable.

I ordered a croissant breakfast sandwich (upcharged) with sausage, egg, and cheese, plus a 20 oz cappuccino with oat milk and a pump of brown sugar cinnamon syrup. Each item was about $7.50, bringing the total to just over $15 before tip. For that price, I was hoping for something that would blow me away. The sandwich was small but flavorful, and the cappuccino was fine, but neither truly wowed me. I also picked up a bag of “Grandma Edna’s Camo Corn” — caramel corn with chocolate — which was less expensive than either breakfast item and absolutely delicious enjoyed later by my campfire.

Overall, it’s a decent stop if you’re in the area, but I wouldn’t be able to afford or justify going there every day. If the prices were lower, I’d likely visit more often—though I’m not sure what the local competition is like.”

“fun place to travel to from the twin cities! nice day trip and fun to meet friends and family! enjoy the food and friendly staff! it is our favorite place to visit!”

“This is a classic, no-frills sportsman’s club—and that’s exactly why I love it. It’s a laid-back, come-as-you-are kind of place that hosts great community events, especially for kids, like hunter’s safety courses and youth archery. They run an annual archery league and occasionally host pop-up events throughout the year. It is available for rent for events, my baby shower was hosted here and it was perfect—plenty of tables and chairs, plus access to a kitchen and bar area.”

“The burgers here are very decent and good quality the experience I had was on the horrible scale. My party of two was told a 30 min wait which is expected for a busy restaurant after an hour and a half wait we approached the host as customers who got here after us were being seated and to our surprise couldn't find our name or number on the book the hostess failed to write down our information after we had given her our name and recieved a buzzer. Very disappointed in the wait time.”
