“The food was fantastic and the service was fire! We just had an awesome dining experience at their Bloomington location. The ladies working front of house killed it during a busy dinner rush - Thank you for your exceptional work. Highly recommend- we will be back.”

“First time trying. Got a rack of ribs, pulled pork, Mac and cheese, and pit beans. Meat was on point and very juicy and sides had great flavors popping.very tasty and will be going back again.”

“If you haven’t already been, you need to! Minute chicken, wood fire pizzas, banana cream pie!!! So good 🤤”

“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.”

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

“Sidney provided exceptional service from start to finish. He went above and beyond to make our entire party feel welcomed, valued, and genuinely special. He was attentive, personable, and made sure every detail was taken care of without us ever having to ask. His positive attitude and professionalism truly elevated our experience. Thanks to Sidney, our celebration was even more memorable. We can’t wait to come back and hope to have him as our server again!”

“today was my first day visiting this location and it will not be my last. The food was spectacular and the service was outstanding. The atmosphere was very welcoming. I can’t believe it took me so long to find this beautiful gem. I will definitely be returning soon.”

“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.”

“Tony was amazing!! Best server ever! Such a good experience overall and the lobster and crab were delicious!! Highly recommend! Got a birthday dessert too!! Food fixed my lobster craving!! Such kind and fast service!!!”

“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.”

“Wonderful ambiance, flavorful food, excellent people. Highly recommend!”

“Always good service & good food!”

“Honey, chicken salad to die for. Yum”

“Yes, I know Olive Garden is more a comfort food fix ....but. ... its consistent and affordable! However what made tonight great was our server Quincy. He didn't just serve us, he was like a new friend with good recommendations and tips on visiting the south!! Make sure and ask for him if u stop at this location!”

“Solid street tacos served with fresh salsa. The salsa verde was my favorite. Bit of an odd location. Inside the Riverview office tower, if you enter on the main floor you need to take the elevator down 👇🏽. The restaurant seems like it is in the space of an old cafeteria. The signage in the building lists it as El Fresco, not El Rancho”

“Our waitress was absolutely wonderful and attentive. The food as always was great. The atmosphere is a great place to be. We often find a way to stop in every time we come back home. It has become a true family favorite.”

“North Star Tavern absolutely crushed it for our group! We had our reservation double at the very last minute and they not only accommodated us, but were able to get us in earlier too. The host who helped coordinate everything was incredibly kind, patient, and accommodating. I really wish I had gotten his name because he made the whole experience so easy. And Riley, our server, despite being a Packer fan 😉, was fantastic. She handled our large group like a pro and gave us excellent service the entire time with a smile on her face. Also…that Brussel sprout salad is an absolute banger. 10/10 all around!”

“So much fun! We had a blast!”

“lunch on Saturday at 3pm Not too busy, surprisingly food is a great value and very tasty Borderline gourmet and really delicious.”

“The chicken Alfredo was amazing! It's honestly hard to find good food and you guys deserve your recognition and flowers 💐👏🏿 Shout out to head culinary chef at MOA in Bloomington 🤘🏿🤗”

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

“We had a fantastic time here and the food was all incredible. They even surprised me with a birthday creme brulee! When we come back to Minnesota we'll definitely come here again. Recommend the scallops appetizer and the creme brulee the most but everything was amazing!”

“Consistently delicious, every meal, every time. The atmosphere is beautiful with all the windows, dark wood, cozy seating and water feature. And the staff is so friendly and professional.”

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

“Nicole, James and your waitress with the last name Dixon were outstanding! The food was amazing and so were the drinks! The staff was very friendly! All I wanted for my birthday was bubba gumps and the one by us closed so it was worth driving from chicago to go eat there.”

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

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

“This is cheesy as hell to write about, but thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving me a cheesy Gordita crunch that’s - actually- delicious. Every single Taco Bell lately has given me the lamest, driest little depression-era crunches, so this was a refreshing surprise.”

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

“I recently stopped by Wendy's for a quick lunch, and it was exactly what I needed. The food was fresh, and you really can’t beat those hot, crispy fries. It’s always my go-to choice when I’m craving a classic, reliable burger that doesn’t take forever to get. The staff was friendly and efficient, keeping the line moving despite the lunch rush. It’s a consistently solid spot for a satisfying meal on the go.”

“What a wonderful old time bar and restaurant. Service is quick and efficient. Their menu is varied, and there certainly is something for all. Hamburgers are outstanding. Pork cutlet sandwich was served on great bread and was extremely tasty. Oh, and don't forget to try the cheese curds.😋”

“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”

“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!”

“Good food, great time😊😊”

“Huge portions and delicious!”

“Great place. Excellent staff! Clean place. I love it!”

“Really solid quick service Greek food, especially when you consider that it came from a mall food court! Enjoyed the gyro pita with the flavorful meat and the Spanakopita which was nice a crispy with the phyllo dough. There was only one person working when I was there so things were moving a little slowly but they were trying their best.”

“Really cute things & very good, tasty items. friendly staff!”

“I have ate here several times staff is on point and food is delicious. I would add a picture but wasn't thinking about anything but eatting. Hands down best Pho in Minnesota.”

“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!”

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

“A small place, short staffed because cleaning is clearly not a priority. My food could have been a tad hotter but the carnitas was tender. The price for a burrito bowl starts at $9.95 but be careful, they tack on extra charges for things like queso and guacamole. So suddenly you $9.95 bowl is $13. I think $2.95 for a bottle of water is a ridiculous mark up.”

“The rule of thumb for an ice cream place:

it must be staffed by either high schoolers (or people who look like they should be kept in high school until they look their age),

or jovial Eastern/Southern European (or Turkish) males over the age of 55 that have emigrated to North America prior to the year 2010.

This store passes the rule of thumb. Therefore, the product is good and I can recommend it with a clean conscience.”

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

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

“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 visited last Estancia yesterday for the first time and I am so glad I did! Their baked goods are fresh and delicious (I bought many to try)! I highly recommend them. And they carry Guatemalan sweet bread which is not easy to find in the Twin Cities. I am on the Board of Directors of the Saint Paul non-profit Common Hope which helps children and families in Guatemala improve their lives through education, healthcare, improved housing and family development. I will share with all locals who love Guatemala that we can get sweet bread locally! Gracias!”

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

“Very good sandwiches and the vibe there is really nice”

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

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

“Food was great! Server was okay. I needed a minute to look over menu not 10 minutes and they were not busy. The server never refilled my drink. When she was there she was very nice and polite.”

“So good - wait-staff was so friendly and fast with the service!!!”

“Went there for fist time today and thoroughly enjoyed the experience and the tea and shake. I do plan on going back again”

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

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

“Great people! Great food! atmosphere was so cool too. Im on a hunt to find the best lobster roll in America and so far this place is top 3!”

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

“Amazing !!!!! I found my new place”

“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 just randomly walked by and saw this place and of course my 6 year old was obsessed! The line was long but we didn’t care cause it was so interesting watching them make the characters with cotton candy! I was surprised how different the flavors were (in a good way) and my daughter’s day was made! Next time we go we are going to try the ice cream burrito. So worth it!”

“Over the years I have tried the companion to a good cup of coffee, cinnamon coffee cake. I am not naive enough to think I have tried them all. Quite the contrary. But after trying Nickola's Bakery cinnamon coffee cake, I can safely say that I have found a superior favorite. Without any doubt a 5 star product from a 5 star bakery. I would be remiss to stop here since a superior product requires superior people to produce the product. The people contributing their talents at Nikola's Bakery deserve a 5 star rating also.”

“Nice young man named Will behind the counter. Said he normally worked at another store but got me a hot drip and a nice recommendation for what beans to buy. Great fellow.”

“I really liked this location. It has an almost rustic feel, but very comfortable. The food was very good. Loved the bagel sandwich with bacon and a hot cup of dark roast coffee. Service was very fast and friendly.”

“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!”

“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!”

“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.”

“Izzy, Nora, and Tyler were so nice and welcoming to me when I entered the establishment. Unfortunately I got the trivia wrong, but that’s just how life goes! Guess I need to brush up on my anatomy… 🤪”

“Phenomenal food. Their pizza is great. Their chopped salad is great. Their sandwiches and wraps are great. They're festive, friendly, and fast. Been going here for years now.

Will post pictures later.”

“We reserved a room to have a reception with about 20 guests, as soon as we walked through the door, Holly our server was very courteous and attentive, very attentive!
She showed us to the room and made us at ease for our event, guests showed up and where immediately served by Holly, little details taken care of and over the top service!
Food was very good, arrived quickly and follow up for drinks and desserts was great.
I was very pleased with the tab, and the fact that they didn't automatically add a gratuity. The evening went extremely well with happy friends.
Would highly recommend group get together here.
Thanks Holly and Cowboy Jacks!”
