35 Best American Restaurants in Bloomington

“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.“

“Full Tilt exceeded our expectations for a youth soccer party for about 40 people! From the initial planning and menu choices to day of service they made it so easy to show up and enjoy! The service was top notch- our serve KayLynn was hands down the best. So attentive and responsive and kind. Thanks so much!“

“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.“

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

“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!“

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

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

“Bloomington, MN, @ Southtown is my fave Applebee’s of all the MN ABs. (I haven’t been to the Baxter one yet). The food is always so good, great music, every employee is so genuinely kind, attentive, and seems to really enjoy their jobs. It’s so chill there; just perfect, really comfy.
My son had the mushroom Swiss burger today & I had the club sammy, both with raspberry lemonades. Everything was delicious & flavorful & reasonably priced. We’ll definitely be back. (Eagan MN is my second fave ABs.) ;)“

“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.“

“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.😋“

“Great food and speedy friendly service!“

“This is the best Applebee's we've visited. Staff are excellent, food is good and always hot when we get it, and the manager (Sue) and her assistant (Actavia) are always visible and very friendly. It's obvious they get quality staff (JD, Skye, Julia, Lizzie, etc for instance). We will be back!“

“The absolute best customer service ANYWHERE! I can tell you … as a past employee there,,,,they do their best to fill a need but do it in a fun way! I was there for 25 years and as a top seller I can say it was the best 25 of my life. Yes, it’s a commissioned store but, they really DO see the customer. DO try to make it fun and get you what you need.“

“Got the endless shrimp for 29 I want each Period it was five dollars to upgrade To the bacon cheeseburger mac The service was amazing Tony was our server And we watched him single handedlly serve like five tables at once!! I mean this guy was great! Big tip for him!“

“We had their French dip with fries. Everything tasted great! Tomato bisque was extraordinary!!! Bread that was served with it melted on my mouth. We are from Hudson, WI. We will visit the Woodbury location for sure! Oh, I might add, great service which is hard to come by now days.“

“Honey, chicken salad to die for. Yum“

“We needed a quick dinner and just googled restaurants and found Lars. It’s a gorgeous little restaurant tucked into the lobby of a hotel. The food was delicious and came out pipping hot; we made it in time for happy hour with their new menu and had a bunch of fun stuff to choose from. The drinks were great too and mine came with a cute little golf club toothpick! Our waitress was very friendly and attentive and the bartender came out to make sure I like my drink. If I lived closer this would be my new spot to go to regularly.“

“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!“

“The Food , Wine , Beer , Atmosphere and the dining experience at its finest“

“After being greeted and shown to our table by the host, an unsmiling, non-talkative slug with the personality of a dump truck, it was a great dining experience. Our server, Hope, was beyond amazing. She put on a masterclass of hospitality and genuine friendliness. She's also an admirer of nice watches, (wink). The beef stroganoff was the best we've experienced with the homemade noodles and succulent beef tips. The prime rib was equally impressive with an insanely flavorful outer crust and tender, buttery meat with each bite. The interior was like going through Narnia's closet. Leaving the noise and bustle of the Mall of America, into an atmosphere of warmth and aesthetics offering visual comfort that set the tone, not to mention the pleasant aroma of sumptuous food that hits you as soon as you cross the threshold.“

“Awesome food and great service“

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

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

“Note: I’ve only had drinks, apps and the pizza. Great wine selection. The pizza though was some of the best I’ve had. Service is also wonderful. I’m treated like a regular. Atmosphere wise it’s cozy and easy to carry a conversation.“

“First time here, breakfast buffet was ok. Probably do an omelette tomorrow, someone else had one and it looked delightful.Hit the bar at around 7 pm, excellent service. Day after Christmas you never know what you’re going to get! There were a few people in/at the at and a large group; bartender was very attentive. Ordered a buffalo chicken flatbread and was blown away. Sucker was loaded, tons of chicken and so much flavor! I’ve been disappointed so many times with the heat level of buffalo chicken… this was soooo good! Highly recommend. I will stay here again without doubt.“

“Everything is delicious 😋, I am going back“

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

“Part of my job is to coordinate catering for training sessions, C-suite meetings, Board meetings and as soon as I found Cafe Fusion, it became my GO-TO for any and all catered needs. I've ordered everything from chopped salads, wraps, and pizzas to the taco bar (OMG) and pasta bar (OMMMMGGGG) and the hoagies. Everything is always fresh, delicious, portioned perfectly and presented so nicely. The staff is friendly, ON TIME, and extremely helpful. I can't say enough about this place! You cannot go wrong with them.“

“Our server Austin was a breath of fresh air after a hectic day of shopping. His food and drink suggestions were solid at a time I had no desire to think about what to eat. Our apps, drinks and entrees were delicious. I will definitely be back!“

“Matt was amazing best server I’ve had in awhile“

“Had the most amazing jerk chicken here my bartender was Joe super nice guy definitely 5 star ⭐️“

“We had a group of 22 people on New Year’s Eve. The only workers were Pete the bartender and Verne the cook. The front desk person did assist. Along with our group there were several other parties and Pete and Verne worked extremely hard to take care of us. We would recommend giving them another. Try to those people who have given bad reviews. Thank you, Pete and Verne.“
