20 Best American Restaurants in Blaine

“Great food and reasonably priced“

“I’ve been a regular since they moved to Blaine. I ordered the lettuce wraps. The lettuce was a delicate bib lettuce and wet, huge chunks of red cabbage, large Julianne carrots. Made it impossible to eat wrapped. Told the server. She offered to get me more lettuce. No thank you. Won’t order again. The quality is not the same as when Carol owned it.“

“Well, let's see. I thought it was going to be like a sit-down, relax restaurant. Take your time. Might take a little while for your food to come out. Our server, Ashley, was nice. Quick to come take our order, quick to offer a refill when the beverage ran out. Our meals came out so quickly, though. It felt like not even 20 minutes went by after we placed the order and BAM meals arrive. They must've read my order incorrectly. I said no bleu cheese and it came out with bleu cheese. They brought it back and then like 20 minutes later, brought me a new plate. It looked like they just scraped the side dishes from the original plate to the new plate. They were cold where the extra butter I ordered didn't even melt. The waffle fries on my wife's plate, in my opinion, were cold or old. Wife said they were fine. Service was great! Ashley provided a little discount since they messed up my order. Food on the other hand, felt more like a quick service restaurant versus a sit-down, relax restaurant. No offers for dessert. I didn't even see a dessert menu or on the main menu. This really wasn't the best experience, but not the worst experience. I only recommend Clive's because Ashley was so quick and friendly. For the rest, no I would NOT recommend Clive's.“

“So, I’ve had unpredictable bouts of constipation throughout my life. I remember receiving enemas that were meant for elderly individuals when I was 8 or 9. When I attended this restaurant, I haven’t had a bowel movement in around 2-3 days. Previously before that I required stimulant laxatives, which creates muscle contractions to force waste out of your anus. I tried a basic cheeseburger with a side of fries, and a raspberry peach iced tea. As soon as I finished my meal, I felt it. The rumbling that signals such an impending cloud of doom in your stomach, causing your heart to metaphorically drop 50 feet from my chest. I drove home, as I didn’t feel it appropriate to require Perkins to call in a biohazard crew to wall off the women’s restroom. Immediately I rushed down to the toilet, and unleashed hell. 3 days worth of regularly eaten-and-digested goodness exploded out of my bottom like a flood gate- It was indescribable the stench, it could probably harm a small child. Like not normal fecal matter, something radioactive and potent enough to kill a rodent. It was half liquid and half solid as it endlessly exited it’s swollen, dark tomb. I have never felt such relief, and from the most unlikely of places. Thank you, Perkins. May our stars cross again someday when I need to take a giant gorilla dump.“

“My son and I stopped in for dinner as I had a gift card to use. Our server Andrea was wonderful! We ordered our food and it arrived looking great! My son liked his salad a lot and my Rueben, while not traditional, was tasty. I was sadly less than impressed with the Maple Bacon Brussels I got with my sandwich and let Andrea know. She let her manager know right away and they both were SO kind and thanked me for letting them know my concerns. They offered us a piece of chocolate cake (which was super yummy!) to make up for the side not being so great. Amazing customer service! We will be back!“

“First time here. Had the steak sandwich. I would rate it 6.5 to 7. The sandwich was good other than the fact the ciabatta literally fell apart in my hands as I was eating it, 2nd bite the entire bottom and top were in pieces. It tasted very green because there wasnt much aoli. If there was more aoli and the sandwhich didnt fall apart on the second bite I would rate it a 10. The frites were amazing, the employees were very kind as well. ❤️ Will be back to try other things :)“

“great service and really good food! everything was flavorful and the sauces were great. definitely a new favorite!“

“Amazing food and staff. I loved what they recommended me to get. You can tell they put a lot of love into their food“

“Still great wings even after 30 years!!“

“Bricks is one of our go-to spots, my husband and I are there monthly, and for good reason. The bar setup is awesome, the service is always top-notch, and the menu never misses. We know we’re getting incredible food every time, which keeps us coming back. The pizza and burgers? Unbeatable. The truffle fries? An absolute must. And if you haven’t tried the corn dip yet, do yourself a favor and order it... it’ll be a permanent starter in your rotation after one bite. Every visit leaves us happy and satisfied, and the consistently great experience is why we love Bricks so much. Huge thanks to the team for always delivering!“

“That was the best cheeseburger I’ve ever had in my whole life! The ice cream is incredible. The service was wonderful. We were actually in the drive-through the gal who brought us. Our food was super nice. There is no other cheeseburger for me anywhere. This one is hard to beat!!!!!!!“

“Usually l’m weary of going to chicken places in or around big cities for obvious reasons, but this Popeye’s soothed any worries I had! I went around noon on Friday 8/28/26 and the service was incredible, the building was clean, the food was magnificent, and there was some great music coming from the kitchen! When l’m back in Mpls l will for sure be stopping by this location again, bravo!“

“great place and great food!!“

“Definitely one of the better burger joints around. Here's the deal: The food is made to order, so expect a slight delay. Once it arrives, though, you'll realize it is all worth the wait!! I walked in tonight, ordered, and dined in with less than an hour before closing. Yes, it's fair to expect subpar food and service when a place is about to close, but Culver's did not disappoint. The burger was spot on, the fries were HOT!, and the service was to notch. These other places need to follow this model.“

“This place is always packed but the bartenders and waitresses are so efficient you rarely have to wait for a drink. Huge arcade, awesome bowling alley, tvs cover almost all the wall space and the menu is a classic bar food reasonably priced. Never had a bad experience here and I've been there a hundred times.“

“Ate at Oliver’s for the first time this morning. Not good. First had the supposedly spicy Bloody Mary. Not spicy at all, not worth $8.99. And I don’t prefer real spicy. Next had the eggs Benedict. OMG I could have fit both eggs on one half of the muffin and still not covered it. The ham, if that’s what you want to call it was something I’ve never seen before, thinner than bacon and tough. The hollandaise sauce was the worst. It is better in the pkg from the grocery store. Will never be back. The staff was very nice.“

“We had John as our server at the Applebee's restaurant in Northtown shopping area. He was absolutely wonderful, very accommodating, the food came really fast and he made our visit very enjoyable. We had 3 couples and were celebrating 2 Birthdays. We will definitely be back“

“Heck of a better experience than the Forest Lake location. Service here was top notch from the Hostess, Kenna to our Server, Sophie. She spent the time to explain the drink and food specials, and answer our questions without any hesitation. The Forest Lake location needs to follow the lead of these fine folks. This location will now be my first choice.“

“It was good and the customer service was excellent! We had a great server.“

“Was a good quiock date night“
