Restaurants near Circle Pines

“So I have drove by here at least 100 times in the last 2-3 months. I have wondered, I have mentioned it to the boyfriend, and I always kept going cause they looked so busy. Tonight we stopped!! It was so worth it, I thought I had ordered something other than what I got, (I did order what I got) but they offered to get me what I wanted to order, I'm so glad I said no I will eat this, (the Carnita Torta) it was amazing and so filling. I can not wait to try something else. Let me mention as well it was within an hour of closing and we were welcomed in as if they just opened. (That is so impressive these days.) Everyone was so kind and welcoming. The price was right, the food was amazing, and the service was so welcoming I felt like I had been going there for years, come to find out they just opened this past May 2022. Panchos really reminded me of a place I went to while in Cabo... Keep up the great work. We will be back sooner than you think cause they are open for breakfast too. If you haven't tried Panchos yet, stop what you are doing and go! Go for Breackfast, lunch or dinner! You will not be disappointed.”

“Everything was excellent and the service was great. Really nice place to have coffee and visit.”

“Wow...what an IMPRESSIVE dining experience! It's been a long time since we have enjoyed a night out so much. Food 'Molcajete Mexicano' was packed full of flavor and Jorge (bar tender) who waited on us was EXCEPTIONALLY kind; made us feel more like family vs patrons. And the margarita 'Texas Jumbo' was super delish! All of the staff we encountered were incredibly gracious and prompt to respond to any request. We will be back! Bravo El Loro!”

“I wish it was a star point system to review. I usually love britos burrito. The location on Nicollet is really convenient for me. I would probably give it three stars. I always ask for one scoop of rice and they always give me extra. I ask for a little bit of corn and they put a heaping scoop on the one thing that really frustrates me is that when I ask for extra cheese, they put a pinch on and if I ask for more, they get angry and tell me that I’m going to have to pay for it. The service leaves a lot to be desired, but the pricing is good, which is why it is three stars and not five.”

“There staff is great and so is the pizza. Best pizza around.”

“Great food, friendly staff and drink specials. prices are excellent.”

“Food was delicious. I ordered a burrito and to my surprise it was the size of a 16 month old baby! Holy moly! It was flavorful and came out quickly. Surprised by the bad reviews because my food was GREAT! 👍”

“Pizza is always exactly as I ordered it, and its always fresh and good. I order online, walk in, pick it up off the rack but am always greeted by the staff even though they are very busy and making more pizzas. The whole family orders pizza from Papa Murphy's and its the best in town.”

“Very friendly and good food. To go only right now but definitely worth the trip!!”

“This is a local, family-run shop. The food selection caters to the American palette, but there's plenty on the menu and it all tastes fresh. Portions are generous and inexpensive. If you want *really* spicy food, you need to ask for it.”

“Beer is cold food is great. People are incredibly friendly both the waitstaff and the patrons. love it here, I end going at least four times a week!!”

“Tyrone was amazing! And very understanding. I'm Allergic to onions so when it came time to make my sandwich I asked him to change gloves he had no problem and completely understood why I need him to change. He was also training a new person in and was very helpful showing him how to do things! I will be going back to this store because of him!”

“One of the better McDonald’s that I’ve gone to! Food was good and the overall restaurant was very clean. Tina, one of the workers, was very nice and kind to us! Thanks Tina!

Kid-friendliness: Has a play-place”

“It's under New Management. The manager I spoke with today was very helpful in aiding me in the direction to resolve an issue I'm having with the Forest lake location. I strongly suggest not going to that location (unless you're willing to defend yourself against the employees apparently they get drunk and hang out there and try to fight the customers in the Drive-Thru.) He was very accommodating to my issue and I hope to hear back from the branch manager. Thanks again for your help.”

“Staff is very nice and accommodating. Love the decor and vibe of the place. If you miss filipino food, this can be a place to go. It's a different region of filipino food from what I'm used too. Prices are pretty good with the portions sizes.”

“Want an AMAZING dinner? Then this is your place! We had the collard greens dip and the Minnesota Meal. Both were outstanding! Will be back - and will bring friends!”

“The soup was exceptionally tasty. I would definitely return.”

“I’ve ate a TON of soft pretzels in my life and these were the absolute beat soft pretzels I’ve ever had. Can’t wait for try some more of their breads at the shop. 10/10 would recommend this place.”

“Great food every time, with so many options to choose from, and great people!”

“Went in 10a on a Saturday expecting the usual line. Place is popular. Waited a total of about 30min in line and waiting for our food, which was impressive for the volume they were doing. Found seats inside and saw open seating outside, too. Split 2 breakfast sandwiches and both were incredible. Coffee was great, touchy coffee is delicious and love the ethos behind the brand. Beyond all this, I saw 6 people working and all presented to me as pretty femme, which I love to see as a woman in F&B, and the vibes in the open kitchen/front counter space were immaculate. I live around the corner and regret waiting so long to check this place out.”
