Restaurants in Bloomington

“Best place ever. Love the people who work here”

“Yummy food and friendly service!”

“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.”

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

“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”

“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!”

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

“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.”

“I had some at Westwood elementary school right before winter break. It’s absolutely phenomenal quality fresh products baked beautifully into the real deal New York style pizzas”

“Amazing breakfast in a clean and beautiful space. Ask for Fancie, she will take excellent care of you!”

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

“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!”

“Great little burger place tucked away in a friendly neighborhood. We stopped here on the way to Ikea and everything was great. The food was good, the service was friendly and the atmosphere was very comfortable family friendly.

Kid-friendliness: Kinda tight seating situation, but comfortable.”

“Honey, chicken salad to die for. Yum”

“Great experience and delicious.”

“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.”

“Lunch today for the first time at Mallards BAYSHORE - the fish fry was excellent, cozy pretty interior, service was top notch. Can't wait to come back, the happy hour looks fun!”

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

“Always good service & good food!”

“Taylor and Caitlyn were the best bartenders ever. EVER”

“We ordered the St.Paul Chopped salad which was delicious, the chicken flatbread , Caesar salad and a cheeseburger. Also had banana cream pie for dessert. All the food was wonderful and came out very quickly. The complimentary rolls and butter were also good. Our server was very friendly. We will definitely come back.”

“The food and atmosphere is excellent.. and the owners are wonderful people. Highly recommend!”

“First visit in years and since restaurant reopened. We all enjoyed our meals. My wife, always very particular on the food she receives, did not have a single complaint - amazing - this would have to be at least a 4-star+ rating from her. \n\nI had promised to order scallops the next time out and there they were! Six bacon wrapped sea scallops, served with a delicious crisp lettuce salad. The salad was dressed with a tasty Italian dressing. I had been craving scallops for many months and was very pleased with Red Lobster's offering! The scallops were lightly seared, cooked through and not translucent, slightly sweet, and no fishy taste - excellent! Each was wrapped with tasty thinly sliced bacon with crisp edges but not over cooked, also. very good. Ordered a side of clam chowder and was told "Manhattan Style" was available. I received New England Style but did not complain because it was thick, creamy, hot and had a good quantity of potato and clam pieces. Best I've had since last trip to Clearwater Florida. I'm not sure the waiter knew the difference between the two kinds of chowders. None-the-less, a satisfying chowder! Almost forgot - great biscuits.\n\nGood, pleasant waiter and service. Red Lobster has re-earned my business! \n\nMac”

“This wasn't simply an excellent meal, it was a phenomenal experience. It feels reductionist to say Michelle was our "server". She was more like a cool dinner party host who has everything under control - spending enough time with us to answer every question, made suggestions, and took care of anything we might have wanted before we knew we wanted it.

We had the tuna lover's sushi platter, and it was really fresh, expertly plated, and the flavor balance on the assorted rolls was on point. If you're not into cilantro, I could see how the Mexican fusion could be problematic on a few of the rolls, but we love cilantro, so it was a real treat.

A bottle of sake' was either a brilliant idea or ill-advised, but we weren't driving, so we think the prior.

Pros: Fresh, bold flavors, hospitality pros

Cons: Price reflects the experience - it's not cheap.”

“Excellent Service, our waitress was very helpful and nice. We enjoyed our food And drinks. They have as n extensive beer, wine & spirits menu. Also a good variety of entrees and sides on the menu. Mid-dining we had a surprise visit by the Executive Chef to check on us. He was gregarious and very interested in our dining experience. We sat for a while in the bar, which is very stylish and an excellent spot for more informal dining—the too have food.”

“Great dining experience!!”

“This place is so unassuming and can be tricky to get to. The "C" button doesn't work sometimes, but keep trying, because this place serves some of the best burritos I've had since I moved out of California. Their regular al pastor burrito is only $13, but the serving size is like two Chipotle burritos but with better-quality ingredients. You will leave with an extremely full stomach. Mucho gusto.”

“Really nice place for friends and family.”

“I had the scallops, he had the roasted chicken large plates for dinner. Dessert was Creme Brule and molten cake a la mode. Everything was delicious. We forgot to take pictures but we cleaned our plates.”

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

“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.”

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

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

“Our order was correct and fresh.

Parking: Parking lot located in front of building.

Kid-friendliness: As kid friendly as any fast food places”

“Ordered a gyro stir fry plate and it was great, huge amount of food enough for two meals. The restaurant was super clean. The service was very fast and made fresh. The workers were very nice and friendly. Will definitely be back!”

“I'm traveling here, I'm from Florida and this guy made my night great TY and Mohamad... happy, fun and very empathetic... TY accompanied me on my first experience using the ATM machine and then he invited me to a nice coffee... I'm glad to be part of Capitol One Thank you for making a difference💪❄️🎁🎅🧑‍🎄🤶🇵🇷”

“Good i like the food here”

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

“Good food, great time😊😊”

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

“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!”

“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!”

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

“Huge portions and delicious!”

“Sooo good!!! Absolutely love my experience everytime!”

“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!”

“Staff is very friendly and service is quick. We order take out frequently and it is always ready by the scheduled time.

Only downside is the burrito gets very soggy, might be an ingredient we are ordering on our burritos specifically but we can’t eat them fast enough to avoid the sog.”

“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!)”

“Came in for a drink and to study. This is a really nice location - very modern and clean. The staff were super nice and my drink was ready quickly, even in a relative rush. Definitely a great location for the Caribou experience!”

“There are nice tables for working and it usually isn't too crowded. Whenever I order ahead, my drink is always waiting when I arrive. I love the mango black iced tea and the blended crafted press. Parking is easy.

Parking: It's located in a mini-mall, so there is lots of parking and it's free.”

“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!!”

“I really needed an energy-boosting coffee
drink. The barista was very helpful & the
coffee was perfect & I got my grocery shopping done.”

“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.”

“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!”

“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.”

“I had a bit of time before work so I stopped at this Caribou for a snack. I told the barista what sort of coffee drink I was looking for and she suggested a flavored hot press coffee which does not have as much sugar as the lattés. The hot press was exactly what I wanted, but the flatbread I ordered was pretty rubbery and unsatisfying. Great location though with free Caribou designated parking spots in the garage. The staff was wonderful! And, they were somehow not busy at 7:30 this morning.”

“Absolutely! Awesome workers! Kind, friendly and quick! Thanks for taking care of my phone!”

“Amazing pizza!! BOGOs are wonderful! Staff is very attentive and acknowledges you when you arrive.

Parking: Part of a strip mall, plenty of parking.”

“bonito el lugar si volvemos a qui”

“We were in the area and looking for food. Decided to try falafel king. Everything was pretty good and fresh. The falafel tasted well, but due to the size of them, the inside were not fully cooked. Overall, everything we got was good.”

“As african man, we always don’t experience eating sandwiches. My colleagues ordered us this sandwich. I ordered good sandwiches and very nice tasty. I memorized the name of Erber and ingredients. After that day, I enjoyed eating once a while. Very nice sandwiches with various different types of ingredients.”

“Jim, our server, was awesome. Very friendly and helpful. Hosted a friendly environment for us! Taste was delicious (try the Pepperoni Smash Burger)!”

“Stopped by Smokestack Express today for lunch with my daughter and my brother and hands down ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. The brisket was tender, ribs were perfect, beans had a ton of flavor, Mac n cheese was delicious and don’t sleep on the sauces. Personally I really liked the spicy and the hot but that sweet was also amazing as well. Trevor and his crew do an amazing job. Everything was cooked to perfection. If you’re in the Bloomington Mn area this is a must stop place for Que! Great job Smokestack Express. 5 ⭐️’s all the way.”

“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!”

Two thumbs up to waitress Caitlin. We had a semi-big group, and she was on top of all the orders (food, drinks, and shots) she kept it all organized and didn't look at all flustered. It was pretty loud there so if you like a quiet get to know ya place I'd do somewhere else.”
