“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“

“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“

“Ate here for the first time, food was amazing, drinks were awesome and environment was welcoming. Definitely recommend visiting sometime 😊“

“The food is great. There are some gluten free options. We estimated an hour for our dining experience. Our server was friendly but didn't take our order until we had been there for 35 minutes. We had to get the food to go in order to make our appointment.“

“Atmosphere is fun, lively, a good time. Bingo night is always fun and their service is great.“

“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.“

“We want to recognize Jonathan, the manager at Culver's, for the incredible kindness, patience, and compassion he has consistently shown our family over the years. We often visit with our special needs son, and Jonathan has always been friendly, welcoming, and genuinely helpful.
Today, our son arrived early with his PCA before the restaurant opened and experienced a severe meltdown in the parking lot. Jonathan went far beyond what anyone would expect. He came outside to help, stayed calm and compassionate, and supported the situation with kindness, understanding, and patience during a very difficult moment. He treated our son and his caregiver with dignity and care, and his actions made a huge difference.
People like Jonathan deserve to be recognized. Exceptional customer service is one thing, but genuine humanity and compassion are something much more meaningful. We are deeply grateful for the way he handled the situation and for the continued kindness he shows our family every time we visit. Culver’s is fortunate to have someone like him representing their business.“

“Ordered a full sheet of Ho ho cake at the Roseville location. From the online order to the pick up... absolute perfection. Everyone was so friendly and if they didn't know they found out the answer. I didn't have to worry if the cake was going to be exactly what I was hoping for. AND the taste... so many compliments. Definitely will be back for more cakes from here. Worth the hour and a half drive from home for it!!“

“My first time here was tonight for my friends birthday and I have to say I really like this place! The patio is a wonderful view of Hudson, the inside has a nice darker, modern industrial feel. Owen is a great employee, he was always making sure our party had the drinks and food they needed! Super cool dude overall. I will be coming back here, maybe for a nice date!“

“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!“

“My husband and I were there to celebrate our Anniversary with our family. 17 of us for dinner. Everything was top notch from our server to our food, to the time it took to get our food! We come to Jonesy's quite often with other people, and have never had a bad experience. Thank You so much!“

“I had the chicken fried steak and it was delicious and huge. Couldn't eat it all. The service was great. Its a small Cafe but comfortable. There is another side that I didn't realize, that is the bar side. So you can have cocktails.“

“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!

Everything was awesome! Only got a pic of the wings tho. We love this bar and look forward to returning again and again!“

“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!!“

“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“

“I ordered on line through active menu. I received a call from Applebees immediately after placing my order to clarify my specific requests. They were very friendly and expressed their appreciation for my order. Food was ready and hot at the predicted pickup time.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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.“

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

“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!!“
