“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!”

“This place is so delicious! I got the falafel pita wrap and Greek salad, the portions are perfect for lunch and the veggies were so fresh and crisp. The pita and falafel are perfect. Highly recommend :)”
“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.”

“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.”
“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”
“I visited today with five other friends for our weekly lunch.
I tried the Outback Burger, which intrigued me because it included soft cactus! Our server, Sara, recommended it as one of her favorites.
Though the restaurant was quite busy, she gave us amazing service, and we left very contented.
Look forward to seeing us again 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!”

“My waitress, Hope, took excellent care of me while I was traveling solo. The walleye - delicious, the salt/vinegar fries - soooo addicting, and the lemon drop martini was a good stiff drink. All in all I was pleasantly surprised to have such an amazing meal with excellent service in a mall no less! I would definitely recommend this place!”
“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”
“The reservation process was simple even allowed changes easily. We were seated quickly and served right away. Our waitress was very attentive and knowledgeable. We mostly ordered burgers and there was one order of pasta. We did order the Japanese milk bread as an appeitizer. It was brought our quick and piping hot with a side of truffle butter. It was delicious. Thw Wagyu burger is a must try. The veggie burgers also were top notch. The fries were served hot and crunchy as we had asked. The beer selection was good and the two we tried were delicious. On the hole a very positive experience. Crave is a must try at the Mall of the Americas.”
“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.”
“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.”

“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!”

“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!”
“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!!”

“Now let me start by saying that I’m a Chipotle girlie through and through. Always have been. Tonight was my first time trying Pancheros, and let me tell you, chef’s kiss. 😚
I got the burrito bowl as ordered:
• Rice
• Extra chicken
• Queso
• Hottest Red Sauce
• Shredded Cheese
• Jalapeños (super fresh and spicy 🌶️ btw)
• Corn Salsa
• Pico De Gallo
• Extra Sour Cream
It was soooo good! 😋 The flavor of the chicken was great, super fresh and not dry at all. It was so juicy! The jalapeños were fresh and the hot sauce was saucin’! 🔥 i love the way the shredded cheese just melted into the ingredients in the bowl and every bite was perfect. I also ordered the guacamole and chips and that was also tasty! Love that they use the blue corn chips, perfectly salted btw.
I definitely will come back here for some more! The pricing was reasonable, similar to chipotle but I think a little cheaper! I also ordered two tacos for my six and four year old, pretty basic with just chicken, cheese and sour cream but they both devoured them. So it’s a win for mom!
Thanks Pancheros. 🤍🤍👏🏽👏🏽”

“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.”
“Lobster rolls are one of my favorite foods, and when I saw Mason's, I had to try one. The prices were good (about 8 dollars less compared to another lobster roll place), and it tasted good! I worried for the lower price it would be the imitation lobster, but it was real, and the roll was the traditional east coast style and warm as it should be. It was a bit heavy on the dressing for my taste, but it was delicious.”

“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.”
“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😐.”
“This Davannis is definitely my favorite. The staff is always friendly and the food is always well-prepared. The restaurant was remodeled in recent years and the finishings give it the classic pizza joint feel. Room for a family outing, or you can even book their party room if you need more space.”
“First time visit to the restaurant celebrating our son's birthday; made reservation noting the occasion. Great overall menu. Good amount of drink and food choices. For cocktails enjoyed the Jack Sparrow, Hurricane, and Blackberry Julep. The Crab Cakes and Connecticut Roll were wonderful. Josh our server was top notch! Only disappointment was really no acknowledgement of the celebration and no offering a special dessert to recognize the occasion. Definitely recommend and will visit again.”
“Place was fun and service was great. My kids sweet 16th party was a success. they had a blast!”
“probably the smoothest acai i’ve ever had, they grind their own peanut butter, you can customize a bowl, and they have a lot of unique great flavors. i hope this place stays around!! i’d come back every time i visit MOA without a doubt

“Great place for small get togethers but not not weddings unless it’s very small”
“Great place for guests to have a meal or a drink.
Friendly staff, okay service, tasty, service could have been a faster. Food was warm not hot when served.”

“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.”

“Service was fantastic - they were helpful, fast and friendly. Food was delicious! Their pita bread was warm and tasty. We tried the mushroom, falafel, and traditional potato samosa rolls. The potato samosa rolls were scrumptious and we will be coming back for more!!”

“I can't remember our servers name but he was amazing. I know we booked late because it was out last night in Minnesota and decided last minute we wanted to go somewhere cool after shopping. We got amazing videos of our drinks and the smoke. Our kids love the milk shakes and had those for dinner! All around our family said this needs to become a place we go to a least 1 or twice a year. Thank you”

“The nachos were ok... chicken that I paid extra for had no taste what so ever. It could have used some seasoning. The olives were a good touch. I love black olives. The waitress was amazing!!! 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.”
