“My girlfriend and I recently checked out Post American Eatery for the first time and had an awesome experience! The atmosphere was really cool and relaxed, and the staff was incredibly friendly. My girlfriend ordered the Beef Ragu and loved it! The meat was super tender, and the sauce was just right. I went for the Prime Rib special, and it was delicious – cooked perfectly and packed with flavor. Our server was great, too – really helpful and laid-back. We're definitely looking forward to coming back and trying more dishes. If you're looking for a place with great food, a cool vibe, and excellent service, I'd highly recommend giving Post American Eatery a try. We had a fantastic time and can't wait to go back!“

“We recently got married (October 2024) and Lake Elmo Inn catererd our wedding. It was absolutely AMAZING! We had the prime rib carving station and the walleye as well as the duck soup and salad. Our guests are still talking about the food. We decided to upgrade to the "LEI Experience" which means each of your guests get a warm hand towel, an intermezzo sorbet, and a chocolate covered strawberry!!! We were over the moon with the service on the night of the wedding and all our communication with LEI throughout the process. Special shoutout to Kayla G. who was the most patient, professional, and kind event manager! She answered every single one of my (many) questions and she did so with a smile! On the night of the wedding, we were SO impressed with how fast the servers were able to get to each of our guest tables and keep the flow going. It was seamless, seriously. We cannot recommend Lake Elmo Inn Catering enough. They've total pro's and just know that you'll be in good hands. Thank you again to everyone on the team for your hard work to make the dream come true!! <3“

“We were the first in line on a Sunday when this opened and in piled in the customers. A line out the door before it opens was a good sign. Our waitress was prompt in tending to us and offered different suggestions. They have a very large menu with great variety. We ate breakfast, but the lunch and dinner menu looked good. I had the corned beef hash. It was a good amount of corned beef fresh cooked and very tender. It was a little different with celery and no eggs. Large portions. The Carmel roll was soft, fluffy and gooey good. They have lots of baked goods that looked amazing. We also got the #1. Eggs were cooked well to order and had great options if different types of bread. The kids meal was in the shape of Mickey and very large with whipped cream and m&Ms which the kids loved.“

“The venue and staff were nothing short of amazing for our mom's Celebration of Life! Courtney's helpful hand in the planning process from our first meeting through end of the day took all of the stress off of us so that we were able to relax and enjoy our special day. Shelly and Brian's attention to detail during the event, making sure tables were clean, fresh trays of food were always available and any requests were taken care of right away, left us and. our guests feeling well cared for. Many guests commented how beautiful the room was and how great it was to have the comfortable patio reserved just for us. The ability to have family and friends who couldn't be there in person be able to attend virtually on Zoom was so appreciated. The huge sign outside by the street with my mom's name to welcome our guests as they entered the parking lot was the perfect extra touch. I hiiiiiiiiighly recommend the venue for anyone's special event. Thank you so much staff of River Oaks Golf for making our day a true celebration for family and friends of our mom!

“First time there. Stopped to pick up their Friday night fish fry to go. Plenty of food for 2. The back room had a country western band that was loud and no decor with a cement floor and plastic rectangular church basement tables in rows. The fish fry was OK, lots of sides - Cole slaw (tasty but heavy on dressing), greens beans (canned, overcooked and my husband was disappointed they had onions mixed in), garlic mashed potatoes or a baked potato, Texas toast and choice of 3 flavors of pudding. I got the mashed potatoes and although they were garlicky enough, I can see why most people went with the baked potato with an add your own sour cream option. Ok, but not exciting enough to go back for take out and definitely wouldn't want to eat in.“
