“I was hungry for Mexican food and this restaurant had a location close to our home so we stopped. It is a standard type of restaurant in terms of tables, chairs, ambiance etc. Both booths and tables are available for seating and allows for some larger groups too it appears. We started with a Texas Margarita which was very tasty. They offered a LOT of different flavor options as well as beer and other options. We also got the Queso Fundido which was excellent. Cheesy with a nice amount of ground sausage in it and a few warm, soft tortillas which I stole from my husband so he had to use chips. Oh chips....they had very good chips with a nice fresh salsa as well. I got the Combo #6 which came with an enchilada and a tamale, rice and beans. Everything hit the spot and it had a really good flavor. That is what I have found missing lately at some of the more "American" Mexican restaurants and I really wanted some flavor and wasn't disappointed. My husband got the Combo #1 and was also very happy with his dinner as well. The portions were a nice size and allowed for some leftovers as well. It looked like they were expanding the restaurant when we went so that is nice to get a bit bigger space. We were pretty happy with our experience.“
“Very nice restaurant & lots of good, fresh food. Very worth the price.Parking: Have to circle a bit of the parking lot to find a good place to walk close by.Kid-friendliness: Easy for kids with the atmosphere & the food that your child likes.“
“India Palace Grill has been a family favorite for many years. The food is consistently excellent as is the friendly, attentive service. The dining room is humble but comfortable, and they class up the place with white table cloths (changed between every seating and somehow magically laundered to remove multiple curry spills). Everything we've tried has been mouth-wateringly delicious and the serving sizes are generous. We're fans of the chicken tikka malasa, the tandoori dishes, lamb rogan josh, and several varieties of naan. (Garlic and aloo are favorites.) The chicken korma is outstanding, full of wonderfully complex but comforting flavors. The samosas are tasty as is the mango lassi, and it's ridiculously easy to overeat the kheer. (It's ridiculously easy to overeat everything.) The menu is vast with several sections that should appeal to many palates. There is a sizable vegetarian selection as well.Overall, the culinary selections at India Palace Grill are a delight to the senses.“
“We were at El loro Wednesday night with our family. The service is always so fast and the food comes out so quickly. I had the chicken tortilla soup. The amount of chicken in the soup was incredible. There was so much that I had left overs for two more meals! Especially love their chips with the salsa and queso. It's worth the trip!We have also used them to cater our daughter's graduation party. Very affordable!“
“Red Lobster is the suburbs seafood shack. This location needs a refresh. It is currently lobster fest. The lobster tails were as expected but it just feels like the whole did it done it been there... not great but okay. Think I will save some money and go ot the New England states for fresh seafood.“
“I give 5 stars for the food which was delicious but for the service they give it is very bad they charge you the tip sometimes without helping you and there is a sign on the door that says 18% tip is fine everything yes we have to earn but I work and I have my salary but they don't pay me just for showing up for work they pay me for working more clearly I have to earn my money by working not demanding it there is only one waitress who is very friendly I don't remember her name but she is one of the youngest but there is a weak vote that I think He thinks he's the boss, but hey, it's me. Observation and what I exist and what I think and I come back to it because the food is delicious.“
“Let me start with the best part first. The dessert flight with chocolate cake, banana cream pie, and bread pudding was divine!!! I lost track of the number of times me and my husband moaned yum. He even said at one point, "We gotta stop!" We both had the walleye taco bowl. The fish was fresh and seasoned very well. It was the perfect portion size as well. We enjoyed the 80's music being played. There was a "buzz" in the restaurant of people meeting socially and a few people for business. We loved our waitress who gave us a list of other restaurants to try in the area. The only negative thing we have to say is that the mocktail sangria was overly tart and my blueberry mocktail was overpowered with fizz.“
“Always a great meal at the Porterhouse. The quality is top notch, drinks are flavorful and the staff consistently delivers an exceptional experience (Pam killed it the last time I was there). The only downside is that the place is relatively small and they pack you in, so it can get quite noisy. You can definitely look past that though for all the other reasons I just mentioned.“
“Very happy to have a good sushi and Ramen restaurant nearby! My test of a good sushi place is freshness of the scallop sashimi and it did not disappoint. We also had cream cheese wonton and tempura appetizers that were both very good - light and crispy!“
“Without a doubt, the best fish & chips we've had in the Mpls/St Paul area. Yes, better than The Anchor in Mpls. Hopefully, they'll offer all year. With the fine food was excellent service to match. Great bar team. Combine with fair prices and an excellent rewards program, you have a winner here.“
“JJ's is awesome. Food is always super fresh and they're very kind and patient. There are 4 tables for four and a bar along the window for a few more people.Kid-friendliness: Basic place, fine for kids if they're willing to eat it!“
“Highly recommend Jensen’s Food & Cocktails. Excellent service, outstanding food (steaks, seafood, burgers, salads) all very good. Delicious after dinner drinks too. Have dined here many times with clients, family & friends. Was there last night and had excellent service from Matt at the bar. Very reasonably priced filet mignon, baked potato, house salad, and those delicious popovers! Thanks Jensen’s for always creating great memories!“
“Food and our Server, Sarah were great!I got Lobster Tortelloni, Grilled Shrimp, and a Port Old Fashioned and it was all delicious.It's a nice restaurant, but I probably wouldn't go back during happy hour on a Thursday. At 5pm there was a 30min wait, because to get happy hour specials, you have to sit at a high-top in the bar area. The bar was loud, a lot of commotion, and tables were very tight in that area. In retrospect I would've spent a few bucks extra and sat in the dining area so I could hear my friend talking better.It would be way better if they offered happy hour pricing in the whole restaurant because there were lots of open tables in the dining room area.Overall it was a pleasant experience though.Dietary restrictions: My friend enjoyed her Salmon and Root Veggies, which was one of the options the server pointed out because she's gluten and dairy-free. They also grilled the shrimp appetizer instead of breaded.“
“We dinned in last week during the snow storm. It was pretty empty, so service was quick. The crab cakes were delicious and I appreciate that it came with 3 cakes instead of the normal 2 at most restaurants. My fiance and my teen ordered the chicken and waffles. Warning, the chicken was hot!! My son says he'll get regular strips next time. My fiance liked them. I ordered the New Orleans salmon. My dish was good however with the name New Orleans, I expected way more flavor. I had to add a decent amount of salt to my food and I NEVER use salt. I'll probably order something different next time but we will definitely be returning!“
“First time customer ordered takeout boil. Not a lot of seating inside and they were pretty busy on a weekday afternoon. The people working there seemed happy and were all smiles. I ordered the peeled shrimp, head on shrimp and Cajun sausage with house seasoning, medium heat and extra sauce. The heat, seasoning and sauce were perfect, as were the shrimp, sausage, potatoes and corn. Be careful with extra sauce so none spills out of the tray while driving. Also be aware that if you like deveined shrimp you might as well get it peeled to begin with since the head on shrimp is not deveined. After it's been cooked you pretty much have to run the shrimp under water to devein it. Next time I'll get them all peeled. I'd recommend this place and will be back again.“

“The amount of lobster per roll is comparable to other places in the area. The lobster was cooked and seasoned perfectly. Is it expensive? Of course but you’re at the mall of america getting lobster. It is equally as expensive as any other lobster places in Minnesota.“
“Ok. Here's the deal. It's December. We walked into the restaurant, hoping for some Christmas spirit. Lights, garland, a simple tree. Perhaps a warm welcome or Merry Christmas, Happy New Year. Nothing. Add to that very few people on a Friday night!The food was good, but the wine was overpriced and below average. Our waiter was wonderful. We are glad we tried it yet we will not return.“
“This place was great. But just remember, rice is a option per individual, so when they bring it to you , you can say no. 8 people with no alcohol drinks with 2 of the people being a 3 and 4 yearold the bill was over $320 with tip 20% tip.. the food was excellent, the atmosphere was great, but it is pricing me out of the experience“
“This was the best meal I've ever had. I couldn't even understand how it was so good.It was the second time my husband and I have visited - the first time was great too. This time though, I got the filet and it was amazing. The asparagus was perfectly cooked. My husband realized at the end that he cut his whole filet with his butter knife! We got the Caramel Gelato at the end and I was thinking "this better be something special for $9.....". Oh my gosh. It was. I can't even express how wonderful it was - so so smooth and concentrated with flavor (the perfect hint of salt at the end of each bite).She's a good one. Spendy... but worth it.“
“Awesome place. Awesome vibe. Awesome staff. Awesome food (stuffed salmon and jambalaya). Awesome time.We will be back for sure. I'll remember to get some photos and post an update. This is the 2nd time we've been her, 1st where we got food.Delicious.“
“Food is very good, place is ok, never had bad service here. I recommend this place. Ambiance is a bar in the afternoon. IMHO, not really a "family restaurant", more of a meeting place for adults and business. Otherwise, as I mentioned, food is good!“
“The thing that impressed me the most about this restaurant was the staff. The general manager Rob took the time to make us feel welcome and cared for. He does an outstanding job. The bartenders are amazing. Not only are the drinks inventive and delicious but the service was spot on. At the end of our meal the assistant manager stopped by to check on us one last time. We told her we would be sure to return soon.“
“Has to be the best Chinese food in Apple Valley. Hot sour soup is top notch, same with the wonton. I got sweet n sour chicken the first time and it was really good. Chicken Lo mein the 2nd time and the flavor was great, I just didn't like the noodles (I prefer Aldente). My Wife loved the tofu dish too. Spring rolls were really good. Fresh, tasty and the price is just right.“
“Located inside the Hilton hotel, this was a convenient dining option for an evening arrival time at MSP. They had a wide variety of items on their menu. They have a great dining space with tables, booths, and a small gathering area too. I had a Mediterranean salad with falafel and it was a great vegetarian option. The employees were friendly and the food was served in a timely manner, even when they were busy.“
“Because we arrived a little early. We started at the bar. Timothy, the bartender makes great drinks, fun and a great guy! Moving to the restaurant. We were greeted at the table by Jay, he was very attentive, made the dining experience great. I and my wife ordered the sirloin 8 oz medium rare, it was spot on good. We shared the roasted artichoke salad- yummy. We also ordered the mashed potatoes, which I requested them to add garlic, it was amazingly good. Chophouse should adopt that idea, you’re welcome plus a free dinner ;). The manager came by to ensure all was good, this is much appreciated. One small disappointment, the bar had a fee better appetizers than the restaurant, I was told it’s because the bar menu is different, which I find that puzzling. The restaurant is exceptionally clean and warm dinning environment. We are planning to go back for the prime rib. This visit will make this place a favorite, if all turns out well. To be continued…“

“Great family dinner outing. Easy making our reservation. Great greeting at host stand. Michael, our server, was knowledgeable of the menu, wine and cocktail list, and did not hesitate to engage with the birthday boy, our five-year old. The raw oysters on the half shell were excellent, briny and clean. The salads, whether Arugula & Berry or Caesar, were plentiful, fresh and satisfying. The fresh hot bread with garlic butter is a meal stealer. And the sea bass, pork chop w/ apricot chutney, walleye, and Kid's chicken tenders were plentiful, well-presented, and tasty. The wine offerings were great for any palate, and the spicy prickly pear margarita and smoky old fashions were hits. And desserts, whether the creme brulee, chocolate molten cake, or world's smallest ice cream sundae, were shareable and delightful. A great meal at a classic location. Well done Kincaid's.“
“Yummy authentic Mexican food. Prices are a little above your typical, but the ENORMOUS proportions make up for it twice over. The burrito I ordered was larger than my forearm and was delicious. Easily two meals worth of food for the price of one.“
“Bubba Gump restaurants are basically what would happen if Red Lobster and Cracker Barrel had a son.Cracker Barrel atmosphere, Red Lobster quality seafood, trying to be Hard Rock Cafe.Good service. If you are a Forrest Gump fan it is a fun time to spend dining. Food quality lacking for price.“

“Will admit, we only go at weird hours, we live several hours away, but this has become a travel ritual, whenever we go on a trip, the flight home + Mandarin is a must. The food is excellent, and service is very prompt, but sometimes we are the only ones there, so that probably helps. The cream cheese wontons are divine.Parking: It's a shared parking lot with other stores in a shopping strip center.Kid-friendliness: If your kid likes Chinese food, they will find something they like here no problem.“
“I've ordered take out a few times now. Their eggrolls are superb. You don't find that many restaurants that offer a generous size and very crispy egg roll. Love them! I also had their hot and spicy chicken. I've frequented other Vietnamese restaurants that did that dish very well. Namely, Kinhdo Uptown and Vina, both which are now closed, so I'm on the hunt for a Vietnamese restaurant that does a good job with that dish. Unfortunately, when I ordered the Hot and Spicy Chicken the chicken was shaved and not pieces or chunks of chicken, while the flavor was spot-on. The shaved chicken really turned me off from an appearance and texture. Maybe that was unusual, for them, so will try it again and hope to not be disappointed a second time.“
