“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“

And now that I know about St. Croix baking company in Hudson, my car will not breeze by Hudson anymore. 😋 I used to go from Eau Claire to the twin cities without stopping but now that I know better I have to stop at this bakery.“

Lucky Guys Distillery Distilleries •
101 2nd St S, Hudson - 4.93 miles

“We are by no means regulars, but my husband and I always stop when we make our way from the Twin Cities to Hudson - it’s a perfect date-night spot with pages of incredible cocktails. Tonight however, we stopped in as a family with our kiddos and parents, and were nervous as we weren’t sure how things would go with a toddler and a baby. The staff were all incredibly accommodating and kind to us and our kids, service was stellar as always, and at the end of our visit, our 2 year old was even gifted her first lucky rabbit’s foot! I’m guessing it was one of the owners who we chatted with and who made her week - but you’ve ensured lifetime guests and we will keep recommending your spot to everyone we know. Thank you!!!“

Matt the manager on the other hand…. Yeah not so much. Throwing a knife behind the bar in front of customers and staff not the greatest way to show your management skills especially after you were the one to break a glass…. We will definitely be returning for ryan behind the bar not so much for the knife throwing Matt though… yikes 😳“

Mi Pueblo Stillwater Mexican • $
1491 Stillwater Blvd, Stillwater - 10.14 miles

“It was good. One of my son's favorite spots in Stillwater. I can tell how good a Mexican restaurant is going to be by its chips and salsa. You can tell that Mi Paeblo used fresh oil to fry the chips and do not overcrowd the fry basket. You taste the chip, not the oil and they are cooked evenly. Good salt. Salsa doesn't seem overly spicy, but by the end of eating it you get the spice. Perfect! Chucky, but we'll blended. Just like my theory above, the food was prepared fresh and with care as well.“

“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!“
