32 Best American Restaurants in Bloomington

“I came in during lunch. I got one of the burgers which was delicious. Fantastic atmosphere and it looks like it would be a fun place during the evening. They have board games and an arcade area.

Also, our server Adam E. was amazing. He truly made our experience here phenomenal.“

“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 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“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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.) ;)“

“We had a fantastic time here and the food was all incredible. They even surprised me with a birthday creme brulee! When we come back to Minnesota we'll definitely come here again. Recommend the scallops appetizer and the creme brulee the most but everything was amazing!“

“We went there for the first time yesterday and I was blown away. We just moved up here and have been going everywhere to check out the local fare. This place was very affordable concerning other places we have been since we moved here. Our server Misty was one of the best I have ever had the pleasure of interacting with and everything we ordered was on point. I got the fish, and shrimp as well. They were on point. The coleslaw was the best I have had here yet. The reuben was far and above the other places I have tried and I am a reuben freak. 10/10 we are going back.“

“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!“

“Today, Jule 7, 2026, was my daughter's birthday, and we decided to celebrate at Red Lobster. It was our first time eating lobster, and we really enjoyed everything. There were six of us in our group. The atmosphere was very pleasant. Our waiter, Abdalla, was very polite, helpful, and attentive; he wished my daughter a happy birthday and brought her a beautifully presented ice cream treat with a candle.“

“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.“

“I really enjoyed my meal. I had the juicy Lucy with the wild rice soup. All of the food was great. Ashley was my server and she was outstanding. She understood I was trying to avoid the lobby DJ ( no hate, just wanted something quieter). I was on my phone a bunch during my dinner catching up with my kids and she was very considerate about her service. She was cordial, attentive, informative, and helpful. The type of person you want representing you your restaurant. Food was great, she was excellent.“

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

“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!“

“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“

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

“We always get great service at this restaurant as well as delicious food. Absolutely love the warm bread to start the meal. Portions are generous and there is a lot of variety to choose from as well as specials.Its a nice place to relax amid the chaos of the Mall of America.“

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

“Awesome food and great service“

“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.“

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

“Everything is delicious 😋, I am going back“

“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.“

“The sushi has been better in the past. Seemed hastily rolled as many fell apart. The server was great, no complaints there. We did mention when making the reservation in open table that we were celebrating a birthday. It was never brought up. Everything tasted great and refillable drinks were brought without asking. Love that.“

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