“Celebrated 2 Birthday’s and the food was fabulous. Started with a Blooming Onion which was very good. Shrimp skewers on seasoned rice was excellent along with fresh green broccoli and a salad which I took home. Portions are big. Enough for a second meal.And a complimentary ice cream sundae. Fresh made rolls were excellent as well. Service was superb. Fun place to celebrate any occasion The other 3 people at our table enjoyed the shrimp, 6 oz filet and salmon. Will definitely be returning. Very attentive staff!”

“Splendid and delicious South Indian food! Saviour in the Twin Cities area if you are missing on authentic Tamil cuisine. Vathal and pondu puli Kolambu' are just among my best recommendations for MUST HAVES. The weekend buffet is heavenly.
Abhi is an excellent host who especially during weekdays has been catering to my taste buds by getting the old menu stuff such as tamarind rice and lemon rice prepared. Thanks Abhi for fantastic service with that smile ALWAYS!”

“Best, freshest sushi south of the river hands down. Not even close.”

“Celebrating dad’s birthday! Mark was our server. He was awesome! Food was amazing. Thanks for the great night!”

“stephen killed it today - i called early for a reservation for 8 for noon - bingo day -stephen had it all ready for us and was attentive to us the 4 hours we were at wild bills! great food and service”

“Excellent food and an entertaining show when you order the hibachi! The food is really good - everything from the soup to the meats to the very flavorful rice! Friendly staff and a convenient location. :)”

“Went here last week with husband, Jim Soucek. We were looking for a new and fun place to try for lunch and found it at the Tavern! We enjoyed their sharable Pizza and will be back for more! Excited to try their Brunch!”

“Megan was an amazing server! Highly recommend”

“I love that they are close to home and the pizzas were great, but they are horrible with getting back to customers when there is an issue with an order. Less than a mile from our home and the pizza was cold upon delivery. Messaged and emailed the email listed and no response at all. Pretty much a one and done for us.”

“Despite this being a very busy Applebees the staff is always super nice and willing to help. Always attending to the customers In a timely manner. Vicky is always around asking if everything is okay and supporting her staff!”

“I was looking for breakfast at The Viking Fest. No luck. Saw your food truck and decided to try your pizza. I got the white sauce, spinach, garlic, red onion and tandeer? (vegetarian "meat) was it called? It was suggested by employee...I was not going to get any meat option. My son got an all meat choice. We both absolutely loved them!! They were delicious!!! And definitely filling!! Honestly, I probably should not have eaten whole thing lol.Thanks for doing it right!!!”

“Super clean, super friendly people and great food!!! Got sesame chicken and pad thai and even our super picky teen ate, in fact he took most of my chicken instead of just the rice! Will be back for sure thanks!!!!!”

“What a great place to go for a meal. The options are very nice and they offer 4 types of fish as well. Portion sizes are very nice and the catfish I had were very big pieces. The batter is very crispy and there was no grease on the plates afterwards. Staff were really nice and friendly. Very nice atmosphere and highly recommended!”

“Expensive cookies... Yes. But we had a gift card, so we tried a 6 pack of cookies and they were SO good. I get the hype now! I probably wouldn't go here frequently because of the price BUT as an occasional treat or a gift it would be very fun. If you don't mind the price it is 100% worth it... Absolutely fantastic cookies.”

“absolutely wonderful food! and amazing service!! thank you guys for your hard work and passion for service and amazing food!!:)”

“Yesterday my family celebrated my retirement with a family lunch at my favorite restaurant - Red Robin in Apple Valley. Most of the group had never been to a Red Robin but they are now big fans just like me. The food was exceptional, Heather (our server) was fantastic, and even though we were the only ones who knew it was a special occasion, we were treated to the highest level of customer service! Heather and everyone involved in our visit made my day. Thank you so much!”

“I love Tonos, man. They’re so reliable food always taste good. Never disappointed. My personal favorite is that impossible steak I can’t find it anywhere else and it’s always hitting especially with the sauce.

all of the workers friendly and timely as well im probably here every other week & always telling the homies to come thru 🔥”

“Always great service! See you next time!”

“A one-stop shop for all your pet needs! We found everything we could want/need to celebrate Luna’s 2nd birthday 🎉”

“Great ramen. Nice atmosphere but the lovely woman working the front made our day. She recognized my daughter was having a rough day and treated her with such kindness, she came around the counter and helped her choose what she wanted and gave her a squeeze. Our food was brought out right away and then Cat I think her name was hugged my crying daughter and whispered something to her and gave the stressed, short fused momma a hug too. Thank you for your kindness and reminder that I needed a little more patience. We will be back on a better day!”

“I went to meet a friend today at Apple Valley Perkins. The lot was full. I am disabled. Both senior citizen spots were filled. Three of us got there about the same time so we pulled into spots next to the senior citizen spots. One of the cashiers (long gray hair)came out throwing her arms up in the air and motioning for us to leave. I rolled down my window and she hollered, "THOSE AREN'T PARKING SPOTS!! THERE AREN'T ANY LINES!" She motions like she was making lines on the pavement The other two cars LEFT! I stayed ONLY because I was meeting a friend. SERIOUSLY? This is how you treat your customers? My friend showed up and she parked where I was going to park. The hostess was on the phone so she didn't control the parking. A while later, she came around to all the tables asking who owned the white vehicle out in the lot. We frequent Perkins a lot and have parked in those spots before with no problems. A walk from Petco is a little to much. Especially for a disabled person.”

“Granite Unlimited Inc. loves Dave’s Hot Chicken for a quick lunch break. Their delicious chicken, speedy service, and friendly staff make it the perfect spot for a satisfying meal on the go. Highly recommended!”

“Great experience overall. Food is appropriately priced, and everyone is nice.

During one of my visits, they accidentally dropped my order from my party's queue, but they immediately recognized the mistake, apologized sincerely, and even gave me my meal for free without me asking.”

“I’ve tried several items, and all have exceeded my expectations. Today’s mango mousse cake was absolutely amazing—fluffy and creamy mousse and full of fresh mango!”

“Rita’s Italian ice in apple valley is the absolute best in Minnesota. Their treats are always delicious and the staff are always so friendly. The owner Julia is so kind and friendly. She is very communicative and is always willing to make our requested flavors for us. She is the best. The water ice is just like it is in Pennsylvania and it is always a wonderful treat for us. My go to treat is usually a gelati with Mint chocolate chip cream ice and vanilla soft serve. It’s the best! Thank you apple valley Rita’s! And thank you Julia especially.”

“My new go to sandwich place!! Tasted so fresh and the cookies tasted like they were freshly baked!!”

“Delish! Fresh ice cream and agua frescas were awesome!”

“I was super happy to have tried Pho Valley! I am always looking for great authentic local Vietnamese food and Pho Valley nailed it!

I had the Vietnamese Crepes with pork and their egg rolls - both were very flavorful, not too greasy and just delicious! They make everything upon ordering so if u order in-store you might have to wait a bit - but it’s worth it! I will be back!”

“Cause it's a good, clean, responsible family type environment”

“Very good food, the chef is always trying something new which is refreshing instead of having the same items. They prevent their menu from getting stale like some many others. Stacey is amazing, not only a great bartender but she does so much more for Celts. The rest of the staff are really good too. Highly recommend”

“Been here several times and I usually order the pho. It is excellent but the egg rolls are out of this world. Best ones I ever had. Every time my brother comes into town he stops here just to get the egg rolls.”

“The Apple Valley Punch Pizza is open for the first time this morning, with a strong staff and locals coming to enjoy the event.

You can add toppings of your choice from the chalkboard at the ordering station. I was surprised that green peppers were not among the options but happily selected arugula and onions to top off my Margarita pizza. They offer several more exquisite toppings.

There is a well-supplied drink station with eight options, one diet. Bottles of olive oil are available to take to your table. Check out the cutlery - heavy-duty knives and forks. You'll never break a plastic fork trying to cut your pizza.

Opening staff are efficient and experienced from staffing former Punch Pizza locations when they opened.

No problem with baby strollers and wheelchairs as both the patio door and front door are at ground level.

There is a lovely room just behind check-in where you can wait for to-go order pickup. There is also an order kiosk if the line is long with a digital sign that displays potential wait times.

The lighting and décor are open and fun, offering the spirit of Italy. For a new building, Punch has done a remarkable job of adding the welcoming appeal of aged wood and patterned flooring.

As always, their pizza is made in a stone-fired oven - the crust is amazing. They import Water Buffalo mozzarella, which can be added to any pizza for its robust taste or for individuals who wish for a less lactose option, meaning no cow's milk.

Their Borgata Pizza was made famous by Meryl Streep when she ordered it as her vegetarian choice.

Ample parking. Lovely semi-shaded patio area for outdoor dining.

Highly, highly recommended!”

“First time visit there and a friendly cashier guys. It’s cleaning site . We both are enjoying our late lunch . Thank you”

“I absolutely LOVE El Super Taco!! Their Super Espada is amazing, along with everything else! If your in the mood for Mexican food this is definitely the place to go!!”

“Amazing shakes and teas! Great variety of flavors. Something to please everyone!”

“The lattes are made perfectly. The coffee is robust without being strong and bitter. The atmosphere, location and prices are right.”

“A local Rochester, MN restaurant chain -now branching out to a new location- Newt’s (Apple Valley) brings everything we love about the Rochester locations (GREAT burgers, beers, and unlimited popcorn!) to our little corner of the Metro. We were stoked when we heard Newt’s had arrived, and our first visit there certainly delivered. The food and atmosphere were excellent. Great service too! Welcome to our neighborhood Newt’s. We wish you much success here in Apple Valley, MN. Keep it up.”

“Fresh new store and new look with a great location. Plenty of staff for the lunch rush. Sandwich was made perfectly. I highly recommend.”

“Went today for the first time and it was so delicious ! Friendly service and fair prices ! I will be going again soon ! Also breakfast all day available and if you just want a pancake or one item there are side order options ! Love the decor and seating available inside and outside as weather permits . Friendly staff and clean bathrooms.”

“We are not from here, we are fr Oi I'm from Toronto, and we are here to visit families. Every time we are here, we always have to go to Famous Dave for lunch or dinner.”

“Only been here once and got the wonton soup. It's really good and the broth is not salty like other places. Not much I can say, except I would like to try other food there since the soup was really good.”

“The food was delicious and the service was wonderful! The kids menu accommodated my more picky eaters and the regular menu had tons of options. Birria tacos- yes please! Took everything in me to not drink the salsa 😋”

“Popular here, it is a very nice store with the layout and design. Modern, clean, and makes it feel airy and bright with all the windows and (fake) plants. Outlets below the booth seat is a plus. Team Caribou!”

“Spicy Tuna, Spicy salmon, crab, salad, was delicious! Highly recommend!!🥳”

“Vegetarian options: Always something on the menu to choose from

Dietary restrictions: Menu lists the number of calories for each sandwich

Parking: Location and the number and the number of spots for parking seems to be ok. Always room to park when we go there

Kid-friendliness: Lots to offer for the kids

Wheelchair accessibility: Handicap parking is marked and easy access to the sidewalk and entrance”

“We got the Chicago style and it was perfect. The sauce had a really good flavor and I really liked that the crust wasn’t super thick and not dried out and had flavor.”

“Your employees were helpful and the service was excellent. I didn't catch her name, but the gal behind the cashier brought me a fresh cup of coffee without me asking. She deserves to be rewarded in some way. I was meeting a colleague for an important meeting and the seating area was perfect for us.”

“Online ordering was easy providing options to make changes to ingredients if desired. Pizzas were ready at time requested and baking instructions made it easy peasy. It was all good!”

“Food is phenomenal! Not a one and done!!”

“I stayed close to the East China while going to college. Once a week I would buy their Kung Pao Combo and enjoy it for two days! Absolutely delicious!! Very pleasant family owned business!”

“Great pizza, crust, sauce, toppings are all quality stuff. Fast, friendly service. Very clean restaurant. Definitely coming back!”

“Ordered a chicken burrito. Very tasty. Fajitas are crisp and flavorful. I like how they remix the ingredients before rolling the burrito. A little more chicken and cheese would be nice. The chips and queso is out of this world. New to the area will be back”

“My family and I visit canes 5-6 times a year. Whenever we visit the staff is always very friendly. The resturant is clean, food is great quality and they support local schools. I don't know what more you can ask for. They do a great job.”

“Amazing food. Awesome vegan options. My kids love it too. Can't get enough. A little gem in Apple Valley. Check it out, you won't be disappointed.

Vegetarian options: Most dishes can be made with tofu and without fish sauce.”

“in from AZ visiting family and tried the Peach Fruit Shaker -- YUM (peach is my favorite flavor)!!!

we don't have Caribou in AZ -- have to settle for a Strawberry Pink Drink from Sbx🙃”

“Best bar in Apple valley!!!!”

“they are very good with social distancing and cleanliness measures. Reliably accurate beverages, and mine can be complicated. Staff is very friendly and helpful.”

“I usually don't write reviews, but it seems when I walk into any retail restaurant with a large order you can kind of expect employees to roll their eyes or seem annoyed that you have a large order. Eventually you get used to it. I had 3 large subs made today by Braeden (apologies if I got his name wrong). My order was a vague text message from a friend and Braeden was patient with me as I read out the order, asked questions to make sure the order was correct, referred to me as "sir", polite and prompt, and his general attitude tells me that he enjoys this job which is rare nowadays. He was the only employee there I could see and everything in the store appeared stocked and clean. Two thumbs up from me, I hope Subway treats him well.”

“I went to Dennys today. May 16th at 4:45 pm Got a cup of coffee to go from a very nice and beautiful brunette waitress. I used the the rest room and on my way there she asked me if I wanted cream and sugar, i said no thank u, came out, and she said coffee was on the house, Wow! That really made my day. I thought of her and Dennys each and every sip of coffee. I live in Chan , but I will make the drive back again. Thanks a bunch. Rog”

“Had not been to an IHOP in years. We wanted to go out to breakfast and stopped at IHOP. They were busy but the service was spectacular. The food was amazing. We are looking forward to going to more ihops in the future.”

“Morning crew always delivers without fail! Big shout out to the kitchen staff for the consistently hot and fresh food, also Rachel, Caroline, Grace, and the other amazing ladies and gents who help kick off my day!”

“I came in to restaurant about 45 minutes prior to closing. Staff was doing cleanups for closing but were still willing to fulfill my order. (I decided to take it to go instead of dining in. My choice.)

Kid-friendliness: Yes

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes”

“I love that this is not a franchise coffee shop. Their atmosphere is pretty unique and their coffee is really tasty! They extended working hours until 5 pm now. However, I would recommend to come for coffee in the morning as it is usually better. It depends who the barista is too! Last time I came at 2 pm and my cappuccino tasted exactly like brewed coffee with cream (why did I pay for my drink as a cappuccino? There was no foam whatsoever!) When I got to the coffee shop, the cashier was busy taking a phone order . Despite of 2 idling baristas, I had to wait for 5 min before anybody would start taking my order.”

“love their food. nice people too!”

“We love the candle light dinner it was our 30 year we never miss they didn't decorate as much this year and menu was different but you can Oder off regular menu”

“Very tasty Mad Pepper Lucy. Just the right amount of heat. Our party of five tried a variety of appetizers, mains and desserts and I heard nothing but positive comments. We will definitely be returning again.”

“I have ate there before and I enjoyed it both times so far”
