34 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.“

“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“

“Emily was an absolute standout. Warm, attentive, and genuinely kind from start to finish—she made us feel welcome without ever hovering. Our drinks were always full, recommendations were spot-on, and the whole experience felt effortless because of her. You can tell she truly cares about her tables. If you’re lucky enough to get Emily as your server, you’re in very good hands.“

“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.“

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

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

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

“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.“

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

“Great food and speedy friendly service!“

“Wow. What an amazing experience at the Applebees on lyndale. Truly one of the greatest experiences I’ve ever had at a restaurant. Sue was absolutely impeccable. She was thoughtful, engaged, and present in making sure that everyone was well served during our dine-in experience. 10/10 the absolute peak of casual dining.“

“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. For lunch, I had cedar stone breakfast and dinner I had the kale salad and asparagus. They even made sure my husbands was gluten free just incase I wanted some. He had Pork Chop and veggies“

“The Old Minneapolis cocktail is a nice, sweet version of an old fashioned.
Cheese curds are lightly battered and lightly fried. Perfectly melted cheese inside. Very nicely done.
Walleye had good flavor with a nice butter sauce.
Waitress Ashley took great care of me.“

“Great dining experience!!“

“Awesome food and great service“

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

“Visited 01MAY2023 for lunch. There was only one waitress working who also served as hostess so it took a while for my party of three to get seated. When we did get seated the hostess/waitress told us that we could sit anywhere.
I ordered the cowboy club sandwich and tater tots which didn't take too long to arrive. The club sandwich was good but the tater tots were a bit cold.
Visited again 17NOV2025 for dinner. The service was excellent. Plenty of staffing with friendly staff.
Unfortunately, my meal was disappointing. I ordered the small cowboy cookout platter. My 3 meat selections were pork ribs, beef brisket, and chicken wings. The ribs and brisket came with sauce on them. I'm not a fan of the sauce and should've ordered it on the side. All 3 meats were dry. The positive is there was plenty of meat for $22, unfortunately none of it tasted good. The dinner came with baked beans and coleslaw which were actually good. You get a 3rd side with this platter so you better have an appetite if you're eating alone.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Everything is delicious 😋, I am going back“

“On a road thru Minneapolis, hot chicken excellent. Fries stellar too. Some of the best hot chicken outside of Nashville I've had. Pick up/take out only. Took about 15 minutes for kitchen to cook. Piping hot when it came out. Would eat again.“

“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.“

“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..“

“Honey, chicken salad to die for. Yum“

“The food and drink was delicious and the Key Lime pie is the best!!! Christina was our server and was by far the best waitress we have had in a long time. She sweetly honored our special requests and checked on us the right amount of times.“

“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.“

“Not bad, wing we're good but food was a little slow coming out. This Hooters (The last in Minnesota) will be closing permanently on March 22, 2026. We will all miss you Hooters! This Hooters has been at the Mall of America since it opened in 1992“

“Immediate seating for our group of 2. Attentive staff, yummy food! We had our wedding reception here years ago, and out on a date today and decided to stop in for lunch. We split the famous meatloaf that we served our wedding guests, It is still delish!“

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

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