“Wonderful place excellent food the staff is awesome“

“Decided to stop by for a drive thru visit and this location did not disappoint!

I received very accurate and helpful service, it was quick and everything tasted awesome. I just had to take a pic of my turtle custard bc they did such a good job on it!

Plus the grilled onions were perfect on my burger.

Only complaint would be that my fries completely spilled in the bag, like they were out in there upside down… still tasted good tho haha“

“Totally chill spot definitely for the older crowd A lot of people knew each other bar staff was very nice and people at the bar were very welcoming and allowed me to sit in between them and didn't make me feel awkward so it was pretty cool experience I've heard that they have a comedy store here as well as live entertainment on Tuesdays so check it out pretty bomb“

“Unreal service. Second to none food“

“Had a lovely day yesterday with a group of friends on our brunch cruise. The staff is amazing and very professional. The food was great and plentiful. Our server Christine was on point and a sweetheart. Very relaxing day on the lake.“

“This is one of our favorite places, we make sure to come every month for the bloody of the month. Today I had the breakfast tacos and old fashion, amazing food and drinks. Our waitress was fantastic super nice and conversational we’ll be lifetime customers. Mags our waitress was amazing - promote ahead of peers give her annual bonus. ✨“

“Food was amazing, prompt service, and fun atmosphere. We will definitely be back!“

“Positive-Great tasting food with large portions. Great food choices. Bakery to die for. Friendly service. Negative-Pricey and very noisy. Not a lot of seating. Crowded. I would definitely go back again!!!“

“The service is horrible. Waited 20mins before getting someone to take just our drink order and it was the bartender from inside not even our server that noticed we were still sitting there with nothing. Then barley good service once our waiter did finally come. We all could have had another drink but never could since we werent asked till after we were done with food. Food was actually really good and good portions for the price. But the service ruined it. I can't recommend this place and don't know if we will back. Plenty of other places with good food that actually have good service.“

“Is like an American place that serves, homemade food and is excellent.“

“You won’t go wrong here. They’ve figured it all out.“

“Decor is always top notch. Food is great, a lot of choices. Service is efficient and friendly. TV's available for sports and seating is comfortable and spacious. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner is available. Daily specials and cocktails.
I would highly recommend, and am looking forward to our next visit.“

“The stuffed walleye is fantastic and the side of peppers and pea pods was also delicious“

“excellent service food tasted great best happy hour out there“

“We had a wedding reception dinner here last Saturday and I would highly recommend it. Mike was so helpful the last month answering all my questions and getting everything I needed to make our night perfect. Everyone was ranting and raving on how good the food was! Our bartender Kyle C. was awesome! He was busing tables and serving drinks like a champ. He even found me the last Busch light in the bar and saved it for me. Our night could have not been more perfect thanks to the hard working staff here. Best of all it worked great with our budget! If you are looking for a place to hold your small event this is it don’t look any further. P.S the chocolate cake is to die for. Thank you again 💕 The Feyereisen’s“

“Went here randomly after a karate tournament and we were in the area. We were presently surprised by the variety of food. The quality of everything the service was impeccable, and we were very satisfied with our meals. Will absolutely come back if presented with the opportunity in the future heck we might even make the drive.“

“Yummy 😋 Awesome Service & food was top notch!!! Definitely going back!!!“

“The chicken salad was worth going back for. The Wagyu sandwich was good, and the regular chips served with it were outstanding, but I would not order it again. The chili got a mediocre review, yet the house salad was great, at a good price for good food. The noise level made it difficult to talk with friends.“

“Our order was missing items and when I called, the manager(s) on duty went above and beyond to take care of the issue. They know customer service and they do it well! Thank you!“

“Great experience tonight at Zupas. Always get great service, especially at the Draper Zupas. Jon runs a tight ship and it is always clean and the staff ( Alyssa, Maya, Marilu, Kami, Brynn) 5 Star. Let’s go“

“Friendly service and good food!“

“Outstanding food. Never disappointed.“

“People like to say, "this is some of the best food outside of (insert city)." The Noble Lion has some of the best food anywhere and amazing staff as well!“

“Local fare done well. Great service!“

“Stopped by for dinner on a coworker's recommendation while visiting out-of-state for business. To my tastes, this is the overall best dining experience I've had anywhere. Top notch food, top notch service, excellent views of the lake, and a nice steel drum band while I was there.“

“Honestly our experience couldn't have been better. We arrived early and were offered complimentary Prosecco while we waited. A small thing, but a nice touch. Old fashioned was a 10. Food was inventive, aesthetic and cooked to perfection. Server was attentive and informed. Really nice job to all involved!“

“Culver's is fast food. Its not like McDonald's. Whats different is they do have different salads to choose from I think 3 kinds. They serve chili and other soups. Sometimes chicken noodle . They have chicken strips kids meals with a free scoop of ice cream. They have grilled cheese sandwiches. They have pretzel bites and onion rings They have custard icecream chocolate or vanilla. And different sundae dishes. My sons enjoys eating at Culver's. And my adult son with autism likes me to get his meals there. When he works at dollar tree as being a cashier thier. And works long hours on Sunday. I usually run there to get him and his boss lunch. And his co workers jump in with the boss and my son. So then I had a big food order to pick up for all the workers at dollar tree and they enjoyed having thier lunch break. Its Quick to get a meal if you order on line. Its reasonable price. It can cost alot if you order alot of food and getting drinks or shakes and custard Icecream. But if you feel like it's too much for your budget. The value meals cost more. But as a parent. I would order the kids meal for myself to save money. The food is good. But I wouldn't eat it everyday. Because then you would get tired of the same foods. But the service is good. Plenty of parking. And you can eat inside or take the order to go. Thank you. I hope this helps.“

“Thank the lord that this spot exists! My group and I have been here about six times now, and at this point we're TRYING to find something on the menu that ISN'T absolutely delicious! Everything is so thoughtfully made, fast to arrive, and so tasty! There are multiple sections to this spot, making it an easy spot to take all of your friends for hours of fun! From their restaurant, to their live music area The Stable, to their LARGE patio overlooking Canterbury Racetrack, and their amazing staff and security, you're going to have a great time! We can't wait to be back!“

“If you have never been to Lord Fletchers on a winter's night please go soon. The atmosphere in the main dining room is charming, cozy, romantic and lovely. So much beautiful wood and the wall lanterns are placed at just the right height to give thst special warm glow that is neither too dark or bright - just right.
Food menu is varied with Prime Rib on Friday and Saturday nights. They will deliver your cut of meat exactly how you want it. Don't forget to order the special stuffed hash browns for your table guests, so delicious. Plus they have children's offerings and crayons to color the paper sheets. Fancy burgers, walleye, pasta, salads and other enticing entrees.
Service is exceptional and views of the lake are wonderful. Prices are in keeping with mid-high restaurants around $26-36 per person. Too full to order dessert this time. Will have to return.“

“I stopped in for lunch today. Molly was my server. She was super friendly and always seemed to be wearing a smile. I ordered the Turkey BLT WITH Fries and a Mr Pibb. The fries came out hot and fresh. The bread freshly toasted. The Turkey on my BLT was tender and juicy and the bacon added the perfect hint of smoke... like a BLT should. I was very pleased I stopped in. I hear they have some great game-day specials as well. Stop by and check them out.“

“Every year the girls get a pup cup for their birthday. Usually we go to that other ice cream place, but I like Culver's custard and figured I'd stop in quick and inquire for her birthday on Monday. The very sweet employee thought I was asking for one instead of just inquiring if they do that at this location and came back with one for the girls. They were spoiled a little early and we will definitely be back on their birthday and other days for service like this. Thank you so much for making mine and the girls day🍨💜“

“Amazing brunch- chicken biscuits and gravy. Excellent service and staff!“

“We had a lovely brunch experience today. While the food and drinks were wonderful, our visit was GREATLY enhanced by the AMAZING service we received from Colin. What a gem of a young man you have!“

“I moved in earlier than I planned because there wa no reason not too. I am very happy at The Waters and so glad I made the move. The "cottages" are wonderful even though there is downsizing to get done. The staff is very helpful and cheerful. The food is great - besides the 'every day menu," there are specials for lunch and dinner. The menu is quite varied with chicken, beef/veal, pork, turkey and vegetarian.“

“I placed an online order but I forgot to switch it to the bloomington location. So it was placed here at EP Culvers.
So when I realized, I called them and rushed over. The manager was this Latino fella. When I explained my stupid mistake to him, he had his team re-make my order fresh!
Goddamn! That's great service! Thank you Latino dude and culvers team!“

“Excited for the rebranding of the Stonebrooke Bar and Restaurant to Tavern 19. Thank you for inviting the neighbors to your new menu tasting. The food was amazing and can’t wait to get back. The community and golfers will love the new menu!“

“I have been attending for 20 years. The staff has turned over many times. Food is always perfect. Staff is the variable. I have two worthy of particular honors. They are Cathy and Shannon. Pin gold medals on the both. Don't let them leave until they are much too old. They make Perkins for me“

“Yep, I'm giving 5 ☆s to an Applebee's. Good is good. Our server Lily was so great, the guy who seated us went out of his way to clear a spot where my kiddo could have a view of the World Series. Comfort food was perfect: Grilled cheese hamburger w/tomato soup, honey chicken mac & cheese, pretzel breadsticks with beer cheese dip. Remodel looks nice.“

“I have been working in the area for a couple of years and didn't know about this place until I found it by accident today. I ordered the special Turkey Pita, sandwich of the day and a burger and fries for my husband. The food was hot, and fresh and the fries were deliciously crispy. I also ordered a side of 'special sauce', because I love to dip things, and it did not disappoint. We decided to enjoy our food outside on the back patio and it was absolutely divine. Imagine a upper patio veranda surrounded by trees and flowers, birds singing above and lovely natural shade all around. I didn't want to leave. The grounds are surrounded by rose bushes and the fragrance from them was captivating. It was an oasis in the middle of my busy work day and I can not wait to go back there and try some of the other options on the menu. I am sharing food pics. Don't mind my husband's burger, he eats them upside down!
PS. I am a sales manager for the beautiful Hampton Inn in Minnetonka, I am excited to recommend this tasty cafe to my corporate groups!!“

“Delicious barbecue chicken and peach tea. Excellent service. Very nice patio.“

“Culver''s is one of our favorite restaurants.“

“Blue Birch is a hidden gem! I came on a Friday evening and was pleasantly surprised by the live music, it created the perfect vibe for a relaxing night out. The setting is beautiful, with a charming fountain and a small pond that make the outdoor dining experience feel peaceful and unique. The food was just as impressive fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared. Whether you’re out for a date night or just want to unwind with good food and atmosphere, Blue Birch is definitely worth a visit!“

“Birch's is one of the best places to go in the entire Twin Cities. It's unique yet, classic in many ways. Delicious food. Great Staff. Beautiful Ambiance. The crowds always bring a great energy.“
