“We are always very pleased with Papa Murphy’s quality and service. Even when they are extremely busy we have always felt appreciated and welcome. Great team 👍😁”

“Beer was really good. Website (currently under construction) listed several food options. When we got there only available food was pretzels in a container. We could order in but no menus from local places, which would be helpful for out of town customers.”

“We stopped here after a night out on the town for my soon to be sister-in-law‘s bachelorette night. There was a small weight where we had to sit on a bench outside, I would say about 15 minutes on a Sunday morning. The place was pretty busy, didn’t appear to be very big. The waitress was friendly, and our breakfast arrived pretty quickly. Pretty sure everything is made from scratch there. I had the biscuit and gravy which was amazing! Probably the best I’ve had in MN. Pancakes were good, my friend had a side of bacon pancakes with brown sugar, absolutely delicious! Light and fluffy with delicious savory bacon and just the perfect amount of sweetness….perfection! Even the butter was delicious 😆 I definitely recommend going here!”

Also, the paper on the tables with info, also has the starting time as 2 00. Please update the info. The waitress staff is fantastic! Food is absolutely delicious!!”

“Great ice cream selections, but staff doesn't seem knowledgeable. I've had MANY wonderful experiences here before but today was not great. I order a 2 scoop cone and each scoop was like a half a scoop... I am not happy that I paid 5 dollars for the smallest 2 scoops. The picture is the cone and the small 2 scoops...”

We dealt with Logan and his momma. What a beautiful, kind family. Thank you Sparkling Waters for a perfect birthday supper. We've been back for happy hour. Still amazing!”

“Picked up a take and bake last night 1st time having Keith's pizza. I worked in a pizza kitchen for many years. The pizza i took home and made in my oven was amazing it was like it was right out of their oven. Thanks for a great 1st experience I would say get one and try for your self. A little pricy but the quality is off the chart”

“Wonderful cake! So pretty and full of chocolate chips! Lovely way to celebrate Valentine’s Day!💟”

“The manager Kate has some of the best customer service I have ever seen. She’s super patient and very into returning starbucks back to its “third place” feel, which is super refreshing as someone coming from the cities. Love the atmosphere and the employees are super kind.”

“Read next update below: 👇
We arrived at Applebee’s and decided to take a quick dinner before we went shopping. The food was fast and accurate and our waitress was completely on top of it and we are very thankful.

Update: 10 Aug 2026 completely opposite of the last 5 ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ review 4 months ago. Waited 10-15 to be waited on for our drink order. 15 minutes for it to arrive and then place our appetizer order. We finished our appetizer and never saw the waitress again since ordering. We were going to order dinner too but after waiting another 10-15 minutes we ended up leaving and went to Ruttger’s. We came in to see the updated restaurant and have dinner. Probably ⭐⭐s this time. Co-workers daughter was there the same night and she had the same experience as us. Hope it’s not a new standard. Yikes 😳”

“Their customer service is top-notch! The manager and the rest of the staff are very good. There was a mix-up with my order. The manager resolved the issue very quickly. They have so much respect for our time and were very apologetic for the inconvenience. They even provided us the food for free 😊.”

“Very accommodating for small parties like baby showers and birthday dinners. The ambiance is perfect for date night and sports bar vibe, and the drinks are always delish!”

“We hosted a surprise birthday party in the private dining room. Allison went above and beyond to make the evening very special. Excellent service, food, drinks and atmosphere. Highly recommend their private dining/event space.”

“Fantastic menu ! The soup could have been a full meal. Loved the crab ravioli, and veal meatballs. The lamb shank was awesome!”

“Love Qdoba!!! Great customer service and friendly staff.”

“Great service, fun barmen and late night food . The music was good the drinks kept coming and my friend and I got absolutely hammered 🤣 . We had a blast !”

“This CC is where the nice baristas don't subject non-whites to racism, unlike the CC on Wahinton Ave. They've always been VERY nice at this one, and the women in the bakery and cashiers are THE BEST!!! 1 of the assistant managers was also super professional when I gave him some feedback. Keep up the amazing work to those of you being so nice and working hard!”

“Also known as the bowling alley. Great fun for the family great deal you can check out like free family bowling.

Kid-friendliness: Arcade! The place was built for kids!”

“Love that they take the time to know their customers!”

“This shop is awesome, small, chill, basic, everything you would expect for a quality sub shop in northern MN! Nice seating space ! Sweet staff and damn 1 huge sub plus drink and a bag of chips for 14.99 let’s go! I can eat this for 2 meals and I’m a big dude ! Great job ! Keep this ish up!!!”

“Ordered a meatloaf dinner and this is what I got! it looks like they gave me scraps! I will never order or eat there again! This is what they call a meatloaf dinner and this is what they call a pot roast dinner also! Country Kitchen just sucks now days! Nope they will never get anymore of my money!”

“Beautiful views of lake Bemidji. Fresh clean dining room. Bountiful menu ranging from salads, seafood, sandwiches and pasta, to a delicious prime rib served every Friday night. Welcoming staff and excellent service from bartenders and waitresses. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough!”

“I had a great experience at Baskin-Robbins. The ice cream was delicious, with plenty of flavors to choose from, and everything tasted fresh. The staff was friendly and the service was quick. It’s a great place to stop for a sweet treat, whether you’re getting a classic flavor or trying something new.”

“Me and the wife enjoy coming to your taco johns! We have yet to have any issues. Thanks for the great service, the FRESH tacos (esp harshell) and the mexi rolls are to die for! Haha. Thanks though guys, keep up the good work.”
