17 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Bloomington

Mall of America® Pet Friendly • $$
60 E Broadway, Bloomington

“I would like to recognize Tyrus at the Enterprise Rent-A-Car Mall of America location in Bloomington, Minnesota for going far above and beyond in helping my husband and me. We had parked in the airport parking lot and were struggling to get to the airport terminal with multiple bags. My husband is a disabled veteran with medical challenges, and the walk would have taken us quite a long time. Tyrus was actually on his lunch break when he noticed us struggling. Without hesitation, he came over and began helping us by pushing our suitcases closer to the terminal. Seeing that we were still having difficulty, he went even further and brought a vehicle to help us get there faster. Because of my husband’s chronic pain, getting into the vehicle was difficult, so Tyrus kindly drove me to the terminal, unloaded my luggage, and walked me inside to the check-in area. My husband decided to walk, and the next thing I knew Tyrus was pushing him along with his walker so we could make it to the terminal. Thanks to Tyrus’ kindness and willingness to help, we made our flights on time. The most amazing part is that we were not even Enterprise customers. We were simply two senior citizens trying to make it to our flight, and he chose to help us anyway. He refused any compensation and simply wanted to do the right thing. His kindness, compassion, and professionalism truly represent the very best in customer service. Please recognize him for his outstanding character and service. Thank you again, and God bless Tyrus for his kindness.“

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.“

Nine Mile Brewing Brewery • $$

“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!“

“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!“

Dairy Queen (Treat) Ice Cream Shop • $

“I probably haven't had an Orange Julius in almost 20 years. The one in my hometown closed when I was young, and where I live now doesn't have any. I thought they were all gone.

So imagine my surprise encountering this sign wandering through the mall. I had to get one. And I am happy to report, they still slap.

They're creamier than ICEEs, not super sweet, cold, tart, refreshing, and this weirdly satisfying texture.

We're in Minneapolis for another few days and you know what... I might have to come get one more.“

“I love Panda, it’s cheap decent food and I’d even say still better quality than many other ‘cheap’ fast food chains.

While a lot of fast food costs have gone up, their quality has gone down, while I have had some good consistency here especially at this location.

It may be a bit of a drive for me (about 30mins) it’s always worth it because I can get two maybe even three meals worth of food for like 20 bucks. That makes each meal about 10 bucks at most and a little over 6 at least. That’s fantastic!“
