Restaurants in Bloomington

“Local business with so much heart for the community! Support them at all cost!”

“Food is very good, The service is also very good & friendly. I have become a regular here. I would highly recommend this restaurant if you want to have a taste of Indian food.”

“Went there today for the first time. Great food, chef kissed delicious! Great service, friendly atmosphere. Wish my youngests food came out at the same time as the other 4 of us (his came out 10 minutes later and he’s 2) but portions were so big we had enough of our food to share as he didn’t eat his when it finally came. Otherwise delicious and would definitely recommend”

“Yummy food and friendly service!”

“Invite your family and friends and they won’t be disappointed.”

“Victoria was our server for dinner tonight, and amazing would be an understatement!! She took such great care of us. We will definitely be back soon!”

“Been here multiple times and worth every penny! The Banana Bread French Toast is a must!!! Great staff and a great little restaurant in the community!”

“Food is Always Amazing, Staff is always Friendly and Welcoming! I always make it a stop on my trips across Minnesota! Great Place!”

“I cannot state more how much we love Pizza Novara! We’ve gone to Bloomington for summer vacation the past 3 years now and make sure we get to Pizza Novara at LEAST once every trip. We’ve yet to have anything disappointing or less than amazing. We have an incredibly picky toddler who devours her pizza every single time!”

“First time I visited since Veterans Day. Your sticker indicated a three percent service fee due to supply chain issues. Why don’t you just raise your prices to cover those issues. If the supply chaiin issues are solved you can offer a price rollback. I’ll find another place that posts their prices instead of service charging.”

“awesome place to work... they treat their employees very well and always want to help the customer get what they want. Great place”

“If there were more then 5 stars to give we would! Absolutely amazing food, staff and so quick! We were on our way thru town and live 4 hrs away and trying to figure out how and when to go back! Don't change a thing!”

“Lost my comment. Try again. On May 19th a group of family members went to the Bloomington Culvers. We were celebrating my grandsons grade school concert. I was unable to go up front to order and my son asked if someone could help me. Jose (spelling) I believe was the night manager. He came back to my table and took my order. He was so gracious and kind. I so appreciated his help. I didn't have the right walker and it would have been difficult without help to go up front. I can't thank him enough. It is so nice to go to a restaurant and know everyone is so friendly and willing to make your experience a good one. Thank you Don and Misty for such a wonderful crew. Now if you only had your fried chicken back on the menu, my favorite. See you soon”

“Honey, chicken salad to die for. Yum”

“My daughter and I just had the *most* delicious lunch here! Highly recommend and we will be back! (This time we had Bangalore style masala dosa, onion dosa with chutney’s and sambar & a wonderful palak paneer with cardamom infused rice) but there is so much great South Indian food on this menu that I look forward to revisiting!”

“This is my family’s new favorite Brazilian steakhouse. Excellent food and service! Everything was high quality and very well seasoned. The staff was responsive to our needs and friendly. We will definitely be back!”

“I visited the Bayshore location in Glendale, Wisconsin for lunch. I used the coupon for $5 off & it was absolutely outstanding. I will be back for sure.”

“I am from Massachusetts so I have never had your food before. Placed an order earlier in the afternoon for a kids meal and a side of meatballs. Unfortunately the meatballs were not ready so I left without them. The pesto pasta kids meal was outstanding - so when it came time to order dinner I went back. The same gentleman who took my first order - remembered me and asked if I still wanted the meatballs - I almost didn't get them - but I am so glad I did! Some of the best meatballs and sauce I have ever eaten. I'll now be on the lookout to visit your other locations if there are any where I travel. What a terrific experience and a great way to end my visit! Maybe one day one of your places will open in Massachusetts - what a wonderful day that will be.”

“gone here many times and they've got great food!”

“Great and Fresh!! Friendly service. Delicious Mango Lassi.”

“With my wife being out of town, I was flying solo for dinner. She left me a gift card for Olive Garden that I decided to use.\n\nI went early (5:00 PM) to avoid the usual dinner crowd. I was greeted at the door by three friendly, smiling faces. While at the table, I was given a menu and saw that they still had the soup/salad and breadsticks on their menu. That is what I ordered. The minestrone soup was equally as good as what my wife makes at home. My wife is a fantastic cook, so that is saying quite a bit.\n\nDuring my brief stay, my server was very attentive without being overbearing. She refilled the items that I was low on. I was pleasantly surprised by her attentiveness. \n\nThere are those that will ridicule Olive Garden stating that their Italian food is not real Italian. I had zero complaints about my food and would recommend their wait staff to any one of their competitors.”

“Delicious food and drinks while your kids entertain themselves- love this place!!!”

“I've been to this restaurant twice this month, and both times the food was great and the service was fantastic. I highly recommend this place. I'm personally a fan of the Baja Burger and the Iron Range Chicken Breast. If you visit, you won't regret it. The place is very clean and welcoming.”

“Been ordering it through Foodsby and finally decided to check out the restaurant, the street taco is amazing, they also make their own taco sauce, and it is very tasty. Will be back soon!”

“Really nice place for friends and family.”

“So much fun! We had a blast!”

“Crystal might be the best server I've ever had!!! Volume of food was insane - two to-go boxes for hubby & me. And, of course, the biscuits were lo-cal and delish. I lied about the lo-cal.”

“Always good service & good food!”

“From someone who travels but almost always avoids in-hotel restaurants, worth a visit.

Management, do what you can to keep Ashlea. She is one of your five stars.”

“Place was fun and service was great. My kids sweet 16th party was a success. they had a blast!”

“Love the manager he was announcing the customers name and having fun im from Madison Wisconsin we need that energy up there”

“Quick at the drive-thru window, and I've never had to wait for food for more than a couple of minutes.
I also like that they're open 24 hours, very convenient.

Parking: Entrance is somewhat difficult to navigate upon entering the parking lot from the street.”

“Great place for small get togethers but not not weddings unless it’s very small”

“Aroma of the nuggets is a stench i hold close to my heart.”

“Always good service, yummy Big Mac & Fries Chocolate mint Shake !”

“At this location I found strong WiFi, quick service, really tasty food: the burger was clearly put together with care and I enjoyed hot, fresh fries alongside a trip down memory lane with a fruit punch to drink. Ketchup pumps were charged, and per an earlier review the thermostat had been raised so I was comfortable coming in from a warm evening.”

“Good food, great time😊😊”

“I am a fan of small locally owned coffee shops and WSP is one of my long time favorites. Thanks Mary!”

“The London Fig was excellent. Perfect for a snowy cold day.”

“Nice service good food price is little high but ok”

“Welcome to the neighborhood Nine Mile!! First timer…loved the beer, pretzels, popcorn. Very knowledgeable staff. Patio was being constructed when we were there, looks awesome. One suggestion, please consider changing the uncomfortable chairs (tables of two) by the windows looking over the patio. Fortunately, we were able to find bar chairs to move to where we met other customers who moved for the same reason. We’ll be back to enjoy the patio! Cheers!”

“This place is excellent and everyone is so sweet too!”

“Huge portions and delicious!”

“I went here to open a savings account in person and had a pleasant surprise of a time. The employee that helped me (Amy) was incredibly welcoming and helpful throughout the whole process. Even though we hit a couple road blocks, Amy stayed positive and even gave my friends and I a free drink from the café! I ended up getting my account open and more questions than I thought I had answered. Also, the sparkling strawberry lemonade topped off this 5 star review. Amazing customer service all around, would come back here again! :)”

“I go to the Bloomington location. Great food and nice staff.”

“Haven't stopped in for nearly a decade! Came in with a little one, my little one is now 14! Everyone was as nice as they were back then. Very accommodating, friendly and food was as good as always. The woman with short dark hair was a gem. The old guy regulars, very nice. Thanks for lunch!”

“Absolutely delicious! You will not be disappointed with any of their unique desserts or refreshing drinks! 5 out of 5”

“a must visit every time I come to the mall”

“Duuuudeeee. These burritos are so good. It might be “extra” for queso and extra sour cream but honestly worth it knowing the fresh flavor about to enter my mouth.

Staff is always very kind as well”

“Great service, delicious healthy food. Try the sambusa!”

“The lady that works here says they make their noodles fresh everyday. Their pho Noodle are bigger then the usual you get at Vietnamese restaurants. The pho broth is more greasy too. Most be northern Vietnamese style pho🤣.
But I ain't complaining it was delicious! I would definitely come back.
BTW they automatic charge you 18% tip.”

“The brisket is wow..can't even explain it..delish! And the ribs..oh man! Meaty and tender. everything was good the beans and coleslaw! Can't wait to go back!”

“Chai latte with oat milk and a half pump of marshmallow syrup is legit one of the best things I've ever had at a coffee shop!”

“I’m so glad that there’s a new bakery in Bloomington that makes some amazing cookies, breads and pastries from Guatemala! So delicious! You won’t be disappointed!”

“Just great food - I am a creature of habit with my bacon cheeseburger purchases, but I tried the patty melt this visit. I was not disappointed - it was fantastic! I will be ordering it next time, too! (They also have great fries and onion rings!)”

“All i can say is - WOW! James - you made our experience the best we could have ever asked for. We didn't come here expecting much But your sweet character and attention to detail in our order showed us so much difference. The food was the best we've ever had at an applebees! Thank you chef, and James!! Thank you for making our experience truly unforgettable. We will be back just for you! Truly. It's the little things. Thank you, James!”

“Great food and speedy friendly service!”

“Zantigo is excellent. I usually order their green chili burrito, with two hot chilitos. Very yummy. (you have to slurp the burrito. hahaha)”

“Easy place to stop for coffee while in Minnesota. It's September and pumpkin spice season. I tried the shaken espresso pumpkin spice with pumpkin cold foam. It was delicious but the price was way more than I was expecting. 💸”

“Caribou Coffee is my go-to caffeine haven when in Minneapolis, and the Carmel High Rise is my personal love language. Whether it’s hot enough to reheat your soul, iced like your ex’s heart, or blended smoother than your favorite playlist—this drink does not disappoint.

The staff? They’re like the barista version of golden retrievers: friendly, efficient, and possibly too good for this world. Every visit feels like a tiny coffee vacation. If sipping caramel-covered joy while basking in good vibes sounds like your thing, grab your cup and join the cult—I mean, club.”

“I was impressed with the quality of the meals. I tried some of their appetizers (including a garlic Naan), main dish (Kabuli Pulao) and to finalize a great Saffron tea with a Baklava (tasty desert)! It was a cozy place full of joy and great flavors!”

“Great people and great drinks”

“we thoroughly enjoyed our classic lobster 🦞 roll. It did not disappoint!”

“I typically go to Southtown for Applebees because thats my place, but I went at this one once and it was also phenomenal!!!! Staff were soooo unbelievably kind and helpful! Definitely helps that the host that sat us was fine as hell. Loll. Anyways, food came out super fast and was so delish! Service was amazing. Bathrooms were clean and sparkling. Lobby was clean. Great Applebees with even better staff!!”

“Great staff and they give very good service too. There have been many times they have brought my food right to my table. So they take customer service to the next level. Love the breakfast sandwich.”

“I set out to find a perfect brunch spot, and boy did I nail it. The food was delicious and I was amazed at the parking and signage at the Mall of America. I thought I had messed up and put myself in a bad situation prior to my flight, turns out it was a great experience.”

“Favorite place to get boba tea!”

“Absolutely love this place! All of their drinks are phenomenal. I, especially love the brown sugar crème brûlée bubble tea. So, good! The service is always impeccable, and friendly. The store itself is cute, and always neat. I would definitely recommend!”

“We have the privilege of being able to worship Jesus with the founder of Baking Betty’s. The cookies are almost as amazing as she is! I would highly recommend these gourmet cookies over any other bakery! A must try! Thank you Emily!”

“Davanni's has always had THE BEST customer service, especially if you contact them through the website. It is fast, personalized, and there is always a resolution.”

“Great place to meet with friends”

“Good tasting pizza with whole fresh ingredients. Staff is always friendly and respect with clean facilities.

Parking: 8500 block on Lyndale Ave South, Bloomington,MN has plenty of free parking plus take out/handicapped spaces.”

“Our new favorite place to get takeout Chinese! Food is fresh hot and excellent tasting.”

“We've seen others post about this cute little cotton candy shop before but we never ever actually got the chance to stop by and check it out until today! It was so much fun for the kiddos! Could not decide on which character to try. Ended up with the Big Pig! 🐷 Lady was very polite. She even offered everyone samples while we watched and waited for her to make the cotton candy pig. So very talented! It was very cool to watch how she put it all together! This place will most definitely be a place we would have to stop by again and again, whenever we're back at the MOA! Thanks much!”

“Visited 01MAY2023 for lunch. There was only one waitress working who also served as hostess so it took a while for my party of three to get seated. When we did get seated the hostess/waitress told us that we could sit anywhere.
I ordered the cowboy club sandwich and tater tots which didn't take too long to arrive. The club sandwich was good but the tater tots were a bit cold.
Visited again 17NOV2025 for dinner. The service was excellent. Plenty of staffing with friendly staff.
Unfortunately, my meal was disappointing. I ordered the small cowboy cookout platter. My 3 meat selections were pork ribs, beef brisket, and chicken wings. The ribs and brisket came with sauce on them. I'm not a fan of the sauce and should've ordered it on the side. All 3 meats were dry. The positive is there was plenty of meat for $22, unfortunately none of it tasted good. The dinner came with baked beans and coleslaw which were actually good. You get a 3rd side with this platter so you better have an appetite if you're eating alone.”

“It's in an office building but quite accessible from the outside. The people are extremely friendly and they have a very wide selection of food items on the menu at a reasonable price.”

“The food was super fresh and just overall amazing! Kevin and staff made sure we were taken care of from the moment we walked in!”

“We had their French dip with fries. Everything tasted great! Tomato bisque was extraordinary!!! Bread that was served with it melted on my mouth. We are from Hudson, WI. We will visit the Woodbury location for sure! Oh, I might add, great service which is hard to come by now days.”

“Very delicious !! Specially the CHURRO ! My favorite . But the worker was rude she didn’ t explain to Us what was the first,second and third step. She gave us an attitude when she asked the questions and we were all lost lol it was our first time trying them😐.”

“we have always enjoyed 98 pounds buffet. we don't make it there very often but always enjoy it when we do!”

“Hands down, this was the best and most pleasant coffee shop experience I've ever had. My wife and I stopped in for breakfast, and from the moment we walked in, we were blown away by the service. The cashier was incredibly kind and provided some of the best customer service I've had in a long time.
We settled in with our cold brew coffees, a delicious chorizo burrito for me, and a sausage egg sandwich for my wife. The atmosphere was so nice—comfy and quiet, the perfect place to sit and relax. I really wish I could come here more often. This place is a true gem!”

“Love the manager he was announcing the customers name and having fun im from Madison Wisconsin we need that energy up there”

“First time today! Very good! By far the best subs around! Very welcoming when you enter. Will definitely drive the 70 miles to come back. Thanks”

“We were looking for an ice cream place that wasn't in the mall and where we could sit for a while. Staff was very friendly, flavors were great. I personally really enjoyed the passion fruit and the tres leches. Some cute photo ops. We also watched someone else order a snack which looked so yummy and fresh. There may have been some food envy. Anyhow would recommend and we will be back.”

“Very good waffle with ice cream, the ice cream is sooo tasty even though is just vanilla, waffle is also good and tasty! Kinda wished it had more than just one strawberry”

“Leave your prejudice behind because this market is a trip. This is like going to East Africa. A Somalian restaurant and market located around the corner from the Mall of America, perhaps a mile down the street from MOA. The food is original and there are no big thrills, East African cuisine as you’d get in Somalia or Kenya. The food is tasty and it’s a hub for Somali cabbies (taxi) drivers. There is a market too. Worth to get camel meat from the tiny meat market. There is a little room for the men but I’ve never seen there any women. Worth exploring every aisle in the market.”
