“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!”

“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.

“A hidden little hole in the wall place with great food. We were in the area this weekend and have been told the food is good here so decided to give it a try. I had a Mexican burger and it was delicious. The service was fast and prices were good.”

“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”

“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..”

“I took my 2 daughters and at 1st it was very overwhelming and 1 daughters anxiety kicked in but after a few minutes she was settled in and was thoroughly enjoying herself. we enjoyed watching the gaucho chefs running back and forth with the meat and grilled pineapple. overall, it was a very festive time.And we celebrated my 1 daughter's 16th birthday.There , as well , and it was awesome.”

“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!”

“Always good service & good food!”

“Hey, i think this place is great so im biased but i had the best service ever ever ever from Alex today.
Me and my son came in for lunch; drinks were great food was good (my bad i mis-ordered a roll)
but despite this our server was extremely on point the entire time -yea good food is getting more expensive - yea good service is getting more rare.

check this place out for sure!! if you are in town and don’t mind the mall’s hospitality fee (tourism fee anywhere else)

this gets 15 stars from me again always glad to stop here. welcome to contact if anyone DMs me.”

“So much fun! We had a blast!”

“I have celiac and the staff each time I went, for lunch and dinner was very attentive to my allergy. I am very thankful for the extra effort.

“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.”

“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!”

“Surprisingly good food for a mall food court!
I had the Greek salad with lamb, a piece of baklava, and some falafel — everything was fresh and flavorful. The lamb was juicy, the salad crisp, and the falafel had that perfect crunch.
Quick service and friendly staff too.
Definitely a solid spot to grab a bite while shopping at Mall of America.”

“We stopped in on Sunday December 14th because we saw a coupon in the MOA coupon book for a free beverage. Never did I think we would have the experience we did. Shout-out to Ty for engaging in conversation with my son and I. He pointed out my son's hat (he collects Pokemon pins) and was so nice and hyped up my son so much. We had a wonderful time and he also sent us home with a bunch of Capital One swag. We have told so many people about our experience and we will definitely be back. Should also mention the Cinnamon Maple Latte with Cold Foam is to die for. We really need more genuine people like Ty in this world.”

“Good food, great time😊😊”

“Huge portions and delicious!”

“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!”

“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!”

“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.”
