19 Best American Restaurants in Apple Valley

“Overall on a scale of 1-10. I'd give daves hot chicken a SOLID 6/10.
Sliders are the best in my opinion.
Chicken tenders/sliders are Large and filling.
Mild: NO heat
Medium: NO heat
Hot: mild heat
Extra hot: Medium heat.
Carolina reaper: Hot.

My only complaint would be prices.
38$ for 2 Sliders, 3 tenders, 2 fries, 1 bottled coke.“

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

“Our server Cori absolutely made our night. She was personable, attentive, and entertaining. Our needs were always met with a smile and a cute story or anecdote. She's efficient and knowledgable. I was in the biz for 32 years, 10+ as a manager and I would hire this gal without a doubt. She is a great asset to your team!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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 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.“

“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“

“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.“

“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!“

“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 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!! ?“

“First time there my burger was delicious. Very nice staff and clean in the restaurant!“

“Best bar in Apple valley!!!!“

“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“

“My family and I went out for brunch two weeks ago after church. We had the most lovely waitress named Elizabeth at the Apple Valley location. She was cheerful and had such a bubbly delightful personality! It was so refreshing! She was very sweet and kind taking our orders and made sure that we were satisfied with our meals. The food was delicious. Food service is not easy and brunch on a Sunday can be busy. Elizabeth made our experience a great one. Thank you Elizabeth. Keep being you!“

“Had the best burger I'vehad in a long time. The manager, Katie, stopped by our table and checked to see how we were doing. It's always great when a manager stops by to see if you're enjoying their restaurant. Says they care about how they're doing. Great job, Apple Valley Applebee's! We'll be back!“

“We came here allot when they first opened in 2012. We spent the first 2 years as regulars here. Then… we came here twice in a row and they burnt our food to the point of being inedible. Today, after 10 years of avoiding this establishment, and now as a Google reviewer, I decided it was time to go back again. I have nothing bad to say about my visit. Must have better talent in the kitchen these days. Crooked Pint may start seeing me more often than never again.“

“Rachel is my new favorite bartender! We met her last week on a crazy night (NFL Draft), and she remembered our drinks when we came back! She is an absolute treasure and I look forward to visiting her for many more weeks to come.“
