“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.

Will definitely be returning. Very attentive staff!”

“Absolutely delicious food and the friendly staff makes the place complete We are lucky to have this place near us”

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

“Gabby was absolutely fantastic! She was friendly, energetic, and went above and beyond to make sure we had a wonderful experience. Her recommendations were spot-on, and she made us feel genuinely welcomed. It's rare to receive service this exceptional. Five stars all around!”

“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!”

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

“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.”

“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.”

“Great food and friendly staff!!!”

“Tonight I had a craving for White Castle. I had a truck full of friends & we went to Applebees valley location. I must say the two younger ladies that were working both were such smiley girls & so polite. They were on top of every car that went thru . They were quick. The order we had was a lot of food multiple orders. We even changed one of our orders at the payment window. & these ladies never got annoyed or even seemed bothered by any of it. I can’t express enough how this was probably one of my best drive thru experiences. Just the kindness alone. Then they did not mess up a single part of any orders! Everything was correct food was GREAT! One of them even re- opened the window & made sure we didn’t need any condiments. Beyond your normal rushed thru drive thru service. I wish I had looked at there names or asked them. I know so many ppl only write reviews when they are unhappy with services. But I had to take the time to write one because these2 ladies truely made a great team! & did a wonderful job not only for the hunger of a full truck of starving ppl. Your customer service skills were great as well! & you both deserve to hear positive feedback back!! I highly recommend this location to grab some good old White Castle if that’s what you crave & choose this location it’s worth the drive! Keep up the good work late night ladies! Your doing an amazing job!, We all enjoyed our food as well as your effort you put in.”

“I love coming to Cowboy Jacks in Apple Valley! The staff is amazing and I love the food and happy hour specials. I also want to give a shout out to one of the managers, Calvin who intervened when he saw a man at the bar harassing me. I didn’t even have to ask him, but he could tell I was uncomfortable and asked the man to leave. It is so refreshing to go to a bar where the staff truly cares about the well-being of their customers! Great work to this whole team! I will most definitely be back!! ?”

“Updating 9/10/26
After going to 7 brew in apple valley today and speaking with A.J. i am confident I will be back, and the problem is solved. He informed me on information i was unaware of. I will now change my one star to a 5 star because AJ ROCKS

The way they accuse you if you're taking a right turn in, and nobody's there.. of budding in line is unbelievable. Get a better entry.. The guy guiding people in is over dramatic and a liar... They're never getting my business again. Kindness WAS NOT WHAT I RECEIVED”

“This is the best Chinese buffet in Apple Valley. The food is excellent and we also had great service. I’ve been to other buffets, but we love the lunch buffet here. Everything is seasoned correctly and the egg foo Young is out of this world.”

“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”

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

“The staff are always friendly! But, we have a nearly 100% fail rate on our simple order. Most recent was today. Ordered an only ketchup and onion cheeseburger and got no cheese and no onion. Who orders a cheeseburger with no cheese? That’s a hamburger. I can’t even with that logic and not worth the drive back.”

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

“Portion sizes were huge. Food was good. Restaurant could use a little refresh as in painting. Staff was super friendly. You definitely won’t leave hungry. The massaman curry and pork egg rolls were amazing.”

“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 😋”

“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!”

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

“The Pho and fried rice were amazing, and the service matches that. The atmosphere was quiet enough for couples/small groups, but has the space for larger parties as well.”

“The food was delicious. They were short-staffed and there was only one server in the entire dining room. She did her best but service was poor. The guys at the front door were friendly and very helpful.”

“The food was absolutely amazing, so flavorful and delicious. The shop is extremely clean, and the ingredients look very fresh. I am actually so sad that I do not have Hawaii Poke Bowl in my hometown, I would be eating it every day. I would definitely recommend eating here.”

“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.”

“Great first time experience & delicious food! My kids & I were searching for a place to have a late dinner and ended up at The Tavern. We were quickly greeted & seated, our waiter was super attentive to us, and the food was amazing! We had the walleye, juicy lucy and (grilled) chicken pasta Alfredo. Will definitely go back for a date night to try some cocktails with my husband.”

“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.”

“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. :)”

“Most Irish restaurants in this area only serve corned beef and cabbage on or around St. Patrick's Day. Here you can get it year round, and it is excellent.”

“Always amazed how fast they are, and the food is hot, ready, and still crispy. They must use warmers but alI can't tell, because it's not soggy. Very good!”

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

“We had such a great experience at the Apple Valley punch pizza the other night! Thank you for a great dinner and making my son’s day!”

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

“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!”

“Sandwiches were delicious and filling. I got a medium Jamaican Jerk Turkey sandwich, which was the perfect size. I didn't feel overfull. They have lots of free hot sauces to use, a good variety. Dining room was simple but clean. Staff was helpful and informative, got my food cooked quickly. Sandwich did not fall apart when I was eating it which was nice, care was put into creating it. I will definitely be going back. Thanks, Firehouse Subs!”

“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.”

“Hadn't tried them before, so stopped in on a whim because I was tired of the usual go-to choices I usually pick. Got the Hunan beef and sesame chicken. Both were VERY good, and the portions were/are huge! Seriously, I'm a fairly big guy and I could easily get 2-3 servings (with rice) out of one entree. Will definitely go back to try out more of their menu.”

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

“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.”

“The latte was fine, but there needs some serious cleaning! Shouldn’t need a customer to tell you - do you have a manager?you’d be glad I didn’t take pictures!”

“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!”

“Best bar in Apple valley!!!!”

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

“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.”

“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 had a great experience at IHOP! Everything was cooked perfectly, and the food was absolutely delicious. The service was excellent everyone was very polite and welcoming. The restaurant was also very clean, which made the experience even better. I haven't been to a good IHOP in a very long time, so this visit was a pleasant surprise. I'll definitely be coming back! 10/10”

“Greg was working last night, 5/15/25. He was working alone. 4 of us came in about 8p. He was waiting on a guest. He was so friendly and engaging. He was cool as a cucumber dealing with the 3 kiddos making choices. He was not even rattled when on of the kiddos asked for stuff on the side. Greg is a great employee!!”

“This is part of the Target Cafe and serves the Pizza Hut express items as well as other Target Cafe food. The service is great and they'll make you a pizza if what you want isn't out.”

“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!”

“I always get my orders to go from this location. The staff is the friendliest fast food staff I have ever encountered. They are always the sweetest and very patient. I have never gone home missing an item or had a food related issue.”

“Service here was amazing, there were just two people working with a huge line but the lady and the guy got through the line while being friendly and fast, something rare to see today.
Hats off to these two people for bringing great customer service!”

“Bri T is the absolute BEST! Me and my mom come here hoping that she is working. She knows us and makes us feel like we are family 😁 if there's anything wrong she immediately fixes it. But there's really never anything wrong! Vicky also is so wonderful and accommodating anytime I see her! I'm glad you guys are the local💯🙏”

“love their food. nice people too!”

“Edit: Updating my rating becuase while this was 7 years ago and both my kids are out of diapers now, I appreciate the follow up and I hope that they follow through on the positive changes.

Their bathrooms do not have any infant changing tables, am I expected to change my infant on the bathroom floors? Shame on you for not providing these to your customers. I will have to avoid eating at this establishment just because I know if I have to change my child there is no where but the floor to do so.”

“The ice cream is rich and delicious. The servers are always nice.”

“I love the sandwiches! I just wish they could deliver to the area near the Westview Elementary School. Owners, is this a possibility someday??”

Excellent place! We really enjoyed our experience at Taquería Los Compadres. The restaurant is very clean and well-maintained, and the staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming. The service was fast, and our food came out quickly.

The prices are very affordable, but what impressed us the most was the flavor of the food—everything was absolutely delicious! 🌮

Great food, excellent service, reasonable prices, and a clean, welcoming atmosphere. We will definitely be coming back. Highly recommended!”

“Great food and a wonderful experience at Serious Sanji! The soup dumplings were juicy and flavorful, and the pan-fried buns were crispy on the bottom and soft on top. Everything tasted fresh and delicious. The portions were generous, the prices were reasonable, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. Definitely one of the best spots for Chinese food in the area. Highly recommend, and I’ll definitely be coming back!”

“I finally had the opportunity to try this place and it truly was a 10/10 experience. All thanks to Iyana! She gave us samples to try so we could figure out which one we liked. She was so warm and friendly, very knowledgeable as well. Give her a raise!
The food itself was fresh and delicious. I’ll be coming back for sure!!”

“Was a little skeptical about this place after reading the other reviews but overall we had a pretty good experience. I had the Hickory smoked along with the habanero mango, which were pretty good little hint of sweet and lots of heat. Parmesan garlic was a little lacking of garlic, but overall pretty decent, fries tasty. They did forget one of the sides, but quickly replaced it with no problems. Fortunately, we were eating in so it wasn’t a big deal. I have to give extra props to Derrick at the front. He was super cool, friendly and really made the experience extra welcoming. these days it seems like customer service is a lost art form, but he’s doing it right! Keep it up Derrick!”
