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.”

“food was amazing, staff was amazing”

“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.”

“Friendly staff! Food is awesome!!”

“My boyfriend and I came in today (Sunday July 5) at 12:30 for lunch. Meghan was running the show alone. She was not only kind, but she was also efficient. She made sure our sandwiches were correct and apologized for the wait explaining that she was working alone. Props to Meghan who showed up, and worked hard all by herself through a holiday weekend lunch rush. She deserves all the praise.”

“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!!”

“My sister & decided to get a late night snack after a long day of work. We were both tired & a little slow. With all of our own confusion, Daniel still handled us with so much patience & kindness! Best customer service I’ve ever had through any drive thru! Give that boy a raise!!!”

“I agree with previous poster. I will be dreaming of Francis now. Door was FABULOUS! Atmosphere is quaint. Francis is my new favorite”

“First, I have never eaten Filipino food before. I read their website and saw it was sweet and savory instead of spicy, which is perfect. I am not a spicy girl. When I arrived with my mother, we were immediately greeted by the owner. She took our orders and then we sat down. A few minutes later, her husband stopped by with our drink (halo halo) and explained how to stir it to blend all the flavors together.
Overall, it was a wonderful, friendly experience. The food was phenomenal and reasonably priced, the restaurant was decorated superbly, and the owners were amazing. I definitely plan on returning in the future.”

“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 staff is amazing and kind. I really appreciated as a first time customer them asking what I like and then offering suggestions. Definitely not disappointed in my choice of the sugar maple and chocolate chip banana bread! Will be trying out more flavors of drinks!”

“Great coffee place! What makes this place special is the owners providing a separate building for AA meetings that run from dusk to dawn. Now that is Good Karma!”

“I had the luxury to experience this wonderful dessert option via a food trailer! My fiance got the smore themed sweet and I got the dirt n worms option. We absolutely adored the flavor combinations and naming scheme behind each dessert product! Keep up the good work and look forward at the growth of this company”

“Awesome place to host an event!! Super helpful staff, great atmosphere and plenty of space for guests.”

“I finally made it to Marty’s Deli and while I am not a breakfast sandwich kind of guy, this is the best breakfast sandwich I’ve ever had! The taste and texture were super fresh and scrumptiously delicious; and it satisfied me for several hours! I will be back to try a lunch sandwich in the very near future.”

“Always great friendly staff!!”

“Five stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ — and honestly, I’d give it six if the people-watching counted as a side dish. Baldamar in Roseville just gets it. The ambiance? Beautiful. The service? Beautiful. The food? Consistently hits the spot every single time. It’s one of those places where you know exactly what you’re going to get—and it never disappoints. Now let’s talk about the real hidden gem: the weekday lunch crowd. If I were single and in the market for a finance daddy… this would be my hunting ground 😂. We’re talking tables full of businessmen, power lunches, suits everywhere—it’s like a live-action LinkedIn feed, and I’m here for it. Dinner is a whole different vibe. I’ve only been once, but wow, low lighting, a little moody, very date-night energy. Whether it’s a first date or you’ve been together forever, it just works. It’s cozy, a little sexy, and feels intentional without trying too hard. Service is always on point, you’ll even catch the manager making rounds, which says a lot. And the food? My go-to is the lobster roll (don’t overthink it, just order it). Also… prepare yourself for the desserts. When they say “to share,” they mean with your entire table… and possibly the table next to you. These things are massive. Cocktails are another win. I’m loyal to the Godfather,Scotch whiskey with amaretto, and I get it up instead of on ice. Smooth, strong, and exactly what I want every time. Bottom line: whether you’re there for lunch, a date, or just some elite-level people-watching, Baldamar delivers.”
