“If you’re in downtown Hudson, Urban Olive and Vine is a must! Delicious and fresh food, creative, flavorful cold/hot beverages of all kinds and awesome desserts in a cozy, warm space. Summer offers patio seating. Shop inside from local artisans as well for special and unique gifts for anyone. My absolute favorite lunch spot in downtown Hudson.“

“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!“

“Just had a beautifull crusted Parmesan Valley at Pier, been fortunate to be served by Johnatan! This handsome charming boy has some fantastic interpersonal soft skills, got me by surprise with quick chitchat when I realised his superb knowledge level of geography.. Specifically about Armenia! What a pleasant way to get connected with customers . Thanks Johnatan, we will definitely be back!. BTW, smart and proactive Management would use Johnatan's charisma, outgoing character and h people connecting skills for future International relations specialist for this establishment when you decide to spread, make branches in different country.

“Our first time there on Wednesday night. Service was excellent, Kendra was fantastic. The deviled eggs with shrimp was awesome The six of us all had something different from the scallops to the walleye to the salmon all fantastic. There was also dessert like bread pudding to banana cream pie, also fantastic. Can’t wait till our next dinning experience. It will be real soon!“

“Really good experience at the Culver’s in Woodbury Minnesota. Doing curbside and a shake tipped over in my car and the guy who brought it out was nice enough to go get towels and a new shake. Definitely did not have to do that. It was completely my fault, but he went above and beyond For customer that is a rare thing to find“

“Of all the places to eat in Hudson, Culver's has the most courteous,polite and friendly staff. No matter what time of day, they rock !!!“

“As always, excellent service. Love sitting at the bar and watching the kitchen staff. Garlic wings are great as is the fried fish. Love the burgers too. And the Nashville Hot Cauliflower is so good. Never seen anything like it anywhere else.
One request, if you haven’t already done it. The Impossible Burger used to come on a vegan bun and then didn’t. Any chance you can make that happen again?“

“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“

“I ordered a chicken sandwich without mayonnaise and a hamburger. The manager noticed that I emphasized that I did not want cheese or mayo. She clarified if it was an allergy or a preference. I sincerely appreciated this level of service.

The food itself was served quickly. It was warm and delicious. I definitely recommended this location and will return.“

“Fun night at Muddy Cow Oak Parl Heights. Great food, great service!“

“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!“

“Awesome food and drinks. The agave Twinkie is a must! Been here multiple times and me and my wife have never had a bad meal.“

“Great service and good food! we'll be back!“

“My husband and I have been to Mallory's several times. Food is always good. It's just that I always feel a little out of place. Seems to cater to a younger crowd (we are in our late 60's) and we never feel quite welcome. Bar patrons seem to get the most attention. We go out to eat every single Friday night and this last time really made me put Mallory's at the bottom of the list for awhile. If you like to eat early...say 5pm, make sure they have wait staff that early in the evening or your service may be a little awkward.“

“The food was excellent , hats off to the chef , this son and Mom were sitting next to us their chicken dinner looked fab, will be going back for that , my friend and I had burgers , onion rings and chips the rings were cooked perfectly. Prices for the food were fantastic , not expensive at all. Loved all the Hamm's Bear stuff, my dad retired from there . Great place keep up the good job!!“

“Once again…The Village Inn knocked it out of the park for our family Christmas! Fantastic service and wonderful food!!! That is why we do it there every year! Thanks to all the wonderful people there that made our time together so special!“

“Had an absolutely amazing dinner at Manger. Everything was perfect. Roasted oysters are a must. Great service. Great wine list.“

“Dominick was our server in the Badger Lair Party Room and was amazing! We hosted a pre/post River Dunk Party with 30ish people. The food and drinks were fabulous!! The party room was perfect for our group!“

“Woodbury restaurant: Awesome food. Spinach omlet is large, very fresh ! good ingredients! Ordered this 2X over the year at Hudson. Both times, 1/2 the size and greasy. I'm not sure why there is such a difference between the two locations?“

“the best. food and service“

“Huge shout out to Dicks Bar where we had our early Christmas get together for our family. Tina and the wait staff were wonderful and as always, the food was delicious! We all had such a great time and they were able to easily accommodate all 19 of us. Thanks again to all at Dicks. We will be back again soon, and would highly recommend to others, no matter the occasion!!“

“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!

“Ate at Not Justa Cafe for the first time ever this weekend for breakfast. I thought everything was good about my experience. I had the daily special, which was biscuits and gravy. For $7 you can't beat that. The food was good. My friend had one of their omelets and he enjoyed his food as well. The service was good and quick. I'd definitely go again.“

“Wanted to get something to eat and something off the main area from the interstate. Everything was fantastic, from the waitress, cheesecurds and food. Highly recommend their cheese curds for sure! Also loved the decor.“

“One of the nicest kept golf courses in the Twin Cites.“

“What an awesome spot. Chill vibe, great service and fanfuckingtabulous selection of beer, whiskey and cocktails. Can’t wait to go back, love this place. Thanks again Brett!“

“We had a great experience with their Santa Claus festivities. One of the best bloody I’ve had in a long time.“

“Dry Rub Cajun Wings-check! Great Tap Beer-check! Fantastic Fish-Check! Great Service-Check! Fantastic night out with specials at Happy Hour time, too.“

“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.“

“Very pleased with Danny’s. Have heard about it for years and finally tried it. Excellent food! Music outside every third Saturday. Great views of Stoneridge golf course.“

“relaxing Sunday night with fam at Ziggy,“

“If you haven't been to The Empourium for steak night on Thursdays you are missing out. A 16 oz Prime Ribeye, choice of potato, green beans or asparagus and a side salad for 35$ Any day of the week the food and service are top notch though so if you can't make a Thursday you'll still be impressed any day. Amazing breakfast menu ever weekend! Best Old Fashioned I've had in the area! Amazing ownership, great bartenders and servers!!“

“Bungalow Inn is a well-kept secret of an AMAZING spot for dinner, drinks, brunch and everything in-between!! We had dinner there and were BLOWN AWAY that every single thing we tried was EXCELLENT! Father’s Day brunch was BRILLIANT! $27 for literally ANYTHING you could want for brunch — I’m really picky about breakfast, if I’m going to shell out and not make it at home, it better be good! This FANTASTIC LAYOUT far exceeded our hopes/expectations. Do yourself a favor and TRY THIS PLACE! You will be glad you did!!“

“🍳🥞🧇🥓🥧☕️Great for breakfast - always something new; like pumpkin spice pancakes!“

“Great abundance of choices with martinis! Happy hour was great! Thanks“

“We have shot at Royal golf club many times and the staff and venue are incredible. We highly recommend them to host your wedding! The outdoor space is beautiful and by the lakeside and the indoor space is updated and modern with bright white walls and large stunning windows overlooking the course. The food is outstanding and the space is perfect for hosting your wedding“

“It was a great! We sat on the patio at 5:30. Good food, lots of family w/kids. I will go back again. My husband like the Mac and cheese and I had a Rachel that was good.

Kid-friendliness: Lots of room for the kids on the patio.“

“Excellent service, beautiful restaurant/bar. Food was great and the drinks even better! Will definitely go back! It’s a hidden gem in Woodbury! Glad we found it!!“

“My husband and I visit here every time we travel, we order the bruschetta and cheese curds both are very good and fresh. The sweet heat street tacos are made with perfectly cooked chicken and the slices of avocado are fresh every single time. The inside is a little outdated but still a nice relaxing atmosphere.“

“Took my dad to dinner here on 4-20-2025 (Easter Sunday) and when we walked in there was only one other table occupied. We were seated right away and Samantha was our server. She did a wonderful job. Our food was prepared quickly (my dad had an omelette with swiss cheese, mushrooms and peppers, I had the turkey and dressing with beans & bacon and asparagus). Our meals were hot and delicious. It's been quite awhile since I've been to this Perkins and we'll be back soon. Thanks!“

“The staff and food is excellent however, this particular Little Caesars is in a strip mall in Hudson Wisconsin the same one with Subway and Holiday. The landlord of this building refuses to fix the air conditioning in here for the poor employees that have to work here with hot ovens all day and it has been out since a couple of years ago when we had that large hail storm!“

“My experience at the Stillwater MN Applebee's was spectacular, the food, service, and atmosphere was quite amazing. I had Ethan as my server and he went above and beyond to make sure all of my needs were met. 10/10 will come again soon!“

“Our first time here and it did not disappoint! Fantastic food, phenomenal service, good pull tabs and perfect atmosphere. Highly recommend!“

“Haven’t been indoor dining much since the pandemic but on an impulse stopped in to Chili’s in WDBY. Had the best server, Sarah, with the “pink” in her hair. She was so helpful, fun and patient. Even when we were confused when paying our bill and miscalculated the tip. She was kind and gracious the whole time and a great server. On our way home we realized we seriously made a big error in the tip. Something we will rectify on our next visit. The food was great. The restaurant was cozy. However Sarah made the visit wonderful! Sarah I hope you see this review!!!“

“the fried potatoes are soooooo yummy! Great burgers, great atmosphere! super friendly staff! we never been here before and I'm glad we stopped on our way through town. highly recommend!“
