Restaurants in Bloomington

“Yummy food and friendly service!”

“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.”

“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.”

“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 🤤”

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

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

“Great pizza and amazing fresh salads! This place is adorable and food is fresh.”

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

“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.”

“Everything! Wait time was accurate, food was outstanding in presentation AND taste, staff was warm, welcoming, and friendly. We will be back!”

“Good food and nice relaxing atmosphere. This is a treat for me as I spent $30 just on myself - shrimp trio was so good. Staff was helpful and very pleasant. I would eat her again just not for a bit due to it being a treat with loads of calories but the calories tasted amazing! Please tip servers well as they are amazing..”

“Great upgrade from the last 2 ownerships. Arcade games, pool, darts, really something for everyone. Drinks and food were fantastic. The space itself has really been opened up. We will be coming back often.”

“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”

“I came here with my mom for lunch on Friday to take advantage of their $13 soup, salad, and breadsticks offer.

We came in and it seemed really busy because the waiting room was full, but it was just a large group. They seated us promptly.

We were served by Rebekah. She was great — quick service and a great attitude. She also offered refills on our lunch items consistently.

The food was good. Not much to say here — it’s Olive Garden! But it was consistent and delicious.

Would recommend!”

“My favorite restaurant at the mall. Have been coming here almost 30 years. Best mac and cheese ive ever had - every time i come i try to order something else but just end up getting the mac.”

“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!”

“A MUST TRY! A hidden Gem, literally. This great resturant is inside of an office building on the first floor and not seen from outside. Great food, amazing friendly service. Its worth looking deeper to find and I highly recommend it. Call the resturant if your lost, they will help you find your way to great food. Thanks for the excellent service and food!”

“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.”

“Beautiful atmosphere and exceptional service. Food was very good. Sirloin. Fish. Appetizers. All perfectly prepared. Highly recommend carrot cake for department served with any signal ice cream and caramel sauce. As good as the restaurant was, it was the tea experience with dessert with blew my mind. Exquisite Tea Forte teas (highly recommend the ginger lemongrass with the carrot cake). Served with a mini jar of honey and the most amazing tea timer. Will absolutely dine here again when I'm in the area.”

“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.”

“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.”

“So much fun! We had a blast!”

“Amazing !!!!! I found my new place”

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

“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.”

“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.”

“Open 24 hours a day! The lobby closes at 10, but the drive-thru is always open! I went through a little after 10pm. Long line. The line moved very quickly, and my chicken and fries were fresh and hot. No reheating- fresh. Tasty, too! The staff was friendly.”

“Great ambiance, menu, and service! Good prices too. Feels a little bit like walking into Martini's restaurant in It's a Wonderful Life. Had a great dinner. Thanks!”

“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!”

“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”

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

“Huge portions and delicious!”

“Good food, great time😊😊”

“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.”

“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 great place for Vietnamese cuisine. They have good broken rice platter with excellent grilled pork (it is lemongrass marinated). Their Bo Luc Lac is also good usually, except today when it is somewhat less marinated or something. The best thing here that my son likes is the crispy noodle, it was similar to the styles of Noodle World in California but this one is actually better IMHO.”

“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.”

“These fine folk now how a REAL stop and fricken slop (food wise 😏) meal goes. You want a place that gives you a burrito bowl, well here you go. This is the ONLY place that fills my belly of the good stuff, I'm talking their carnitas and veggies are on point. (Not to mention the make some mean rice)

I understand that it's not a local wide chain place yet. But God damn, if I am ever on vacation.. hope they became at least a few more locations. Love this place to a T!!!

Added photo of my old bestie/ bird boyfriend because he would have enjoyed this place as much as I did. #RIP Ike. <3”

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

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

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

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

“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!”

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

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

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

“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!”

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

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

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

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

“Today at this Applebee's we had an amazing server. His name is Ben and he was outstanding. Though we had a light order, he made us feel welcomed and cared for. In this world where we live, some people call that normal. I call it attention to detail. Focus, and knowing your client's needs before they even sit down. Will definitely be back.”

“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!”

“Great food and speedy friendly service!”

“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.”

“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!”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“First time to Caribou coffee. I had a great first experience! My coffee was delicious, perfect balance of chocolate and espresso. The staff was friendly. Very cute standalone building with indoor options and outdoor options. Fun merch you can buy. Lovely bakery items. bonus, it was cheaper than other coffee shops!”

“bonito el lugar si volvemos a qui”

“Ashlea S was the most amazing server I’ve had at a restaurant in a longtime. She was so pleasant and joyful. She made great suggestions to make my meal better. She moved with grace and efficiency throughout the restaurant from table to table with the same charm and joy. I would hire her in a heartbeat. And, the walleye and wildrice soup were both great. Bravo!”

“Always good food..
Have some new hoagies , basically familar flavors that they have upgraded..
And no worries still have original choices as well !!”

“You do not have to work in the building to go here. This is a full open to the public caribou. Location with online ordering and food items. They have reserved the closest several parking spaces to the Caribou entrance on the bottom floor of the parking garage, and it is very quick to get in and out.”

“A great group of fellas whipped up a fantastic pie in record time. I went with the limited edition Taco Grande (I look forward to this every year!) this time. It was made perfectly with the sauce and cheese to the edges. Props, guys!”

“Went in to grab a milkshake to go. Despite being short staffed the people working there were very nice and were quick to help me. That being said, the milkshake was at best average. For spending $14 on a milkshake, I expected either a large amount or at least a very tasty one, but I honestly wouldn't recommend it over any other chain restaurant's milkshake offerings.”

They went out of their way to let us try multiple flavors and make recommendations. I ended up with this and it was delicious! I wish we lived closer to go more often! They also offered to take a picture for our family, which was so kind! Go here and support a super cute business with great service and delicious treats!”

“for my first time, food was good, happy with donuts, they forgot my boba tea, I asked for it and they gave it to me, happy families, calm atmosphere. Definitely coming here next time!”

“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.”
