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“

“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!“

“Great burgers. This place is a go-to when we visit Apple Valley. Yummy burgers and cheerful staff. I give it 4 instead of 5 because although most of the time we have a great experience every once in a while we get a terrible server or the food comes out horribly wrong, especially when it's busy. I wish there was more consistency across the board.“

“This place is such a vibe. Magnificent Music, Delicious Drinks, Fabulous Food, and Sensational Staff! (Oh! And BINGO, too!) Caleb is my favorite... he takes good care of us on our weekly girls night and provides exceptional service with a friendly yet professional presence! If you're in the area, definitely check it out!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great atmosphere and variety of food. However we recently ordered some takeout with a “fresh stir fry” but they automatically added a meat which we didn’t ask for. Had to pay extra for something we didn’t want and didn’t notice till we were home.“

“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.“

“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!“

“oh my gosshĥhh... soooooo yummy. went for breakfast, the strawberry French toast- delish. but the most yummy was the omelet, it was so light n fluffy. never gad I had an omelet taste like that!“

“Best bar in Apple valley!!!!“

“Ok. Here's the deal. It's December. We walked into the restaurant, hoping for some Christmas spirit. Lights, garland, a simple tree. Perhaps a warm welcome or Merry Christmas, Happy New Year. Nothing. Add to that very few people on a Friday night!The food was good, but the wine was overpriced and below average. Our waiter was wonderful. We are glad we tried it yet we will not return.“

“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“

“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!! ?“

“A younger man paid for our 8 dinners at the Crooked Pint late yesterday afternoon. I think it was in honor of those who served in the Viet Nam war. He personally came up to the table to say thanks. What a very thoughtful gift?, and thank you. Our server was also very accommodating.“

“We've been to this location twice now and both times have been a great experience! Our server on our last visit was amazing! I wish I remembered her name. She was like a mind reader. Every time we forgot something, she knew to ask. It was simple things like water with drinks and extra napkins, but still helpful. This location grills the chicken fajita rollup after assembling it, which doesn't sound like a big deal but it's actually awesome! I wish they all did that!

Kid-friendliness: My kids love it here! Their favorite is the yogurt with strawberries they can get with the kids meal. They have lots of kids options and the kids burger and fries is actually still enough food for my 10 year old!“
