New American Restaurants near Excelsior, MN

“Outstanding food. Never disappointed.“

“Lovely atmosphere and great food!“

“I’ve had a light dinner and drinks twice within a month during the holidays. Very festive, really good service and friendly staff. The 90 day aged eggnog is unique and excellent! The tempura vegetables were crispy and the Thai dipping oil was so flavorful. The sliders were tender; the crispy chicken sandwich was crispy on the outside and tender inside.“

“Our absolute favorite place to go in the area! They have THE BEST food, cocktails, and service. The prime rib skewers, creamy caper chicken, pizza, and pot pie are our personal favorites. The Justin cab, watermelon sugar high, and salted caramel White Russian (among other drinks) are seriously AMAZING! Servers and bartenders are top notch. This is our new weekly spot.“

“Booked a private cruise for a work event and the staff were amazing! Morgan was super helpful during the planning process. They were able to accommodate all of our food restrictions. Captain Eric was so fun and nice! Rebecca our server was a gem! The night was freezing but we all enjoyed our time!“

“This is hands down one of the best restaurants in Minnesota, all three locations that we regularly visit always have great service friendly staff and the food is excellent to me there are drinks are a little expensive but besides that this is one of our go to is for special occasions as well as date nights.“

“This our first time in MN for appointments at Mayo Clinic. The staff were so welcoming and the food was delicious. 😋“

“Great Irish/American comfort food on the menu. Irish Rolls were great, Shepherd Pie, and Meatloaf all done so well. Met Chef James at Twins game and made a special short 20 minute trip out from our downtown hotel. Food was worth the trip, staff was absolutely great and friendly. We brought our pup with us, plenty of outdoor sidewalk and patio seating, and a water dish provided. Will be back again.“

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

“When asking the question - What should we do for dinner? Many times the answer is Red Roosters! Always great!!“

“We love Primo! It's a small, intimate place in Long Lake with incredible Italian food. We started with calamari as an appetizer and it was among the best I've had. I think they add cheese on top of it? Really great. I enjoyed a pizza and side caesar salad for dinner and my wife also loved her spaghetti and meatballs. They make tiramisu on-site and that was also a home run.

Dale was a very friendly and attentive server. Thank you so much! We really enjoyed our visit.“

“Great food and better service. Can’t wait to come back.“

“I could spend all day in here. Everything is beautiful and shiny! The staff couldn't be any nicer. They are very knowledgeable, polite and approachable. The inventory is fantastic. Great place to buy a gift. For yourself and a loved one.“

“Tuttles has it all and totally stepped it up with the renovation of the dining area and the Live Music. Tuttle’s Eat, Bowl, Play is a powerhouse of fun, great food, great service, incredible music and togetherness with Community! You MUST stop in for a bite and please do stay a while to go bowling and later see the live music.“

“Houlihan's is one of our go to places! The food is great, always consistent and a step above the run of the mill American fair. And the staff, Steve (the icon), Jake, Annie, Nip, Ross and don't forget Art (Happy retirement) are the greatest we love seeing their happy faces!“

“We live in the area and on prior occasions had not been impressed with the menu. That has changed with the most recent menu revamp. My family can be pickier eaters and everyone enjoyed their dinner. The bone-in short rib was a hit. The restaurant and bar atmosphere is outstanding. We requested a booth by a window and were accommodated. A great overall experience.“

“Your bartender Kavele is a national treasure. I stopped in three times last year while I was staying in the area. Stopped in today- a YEAR later - and your boy remembered my cocktail of choice.

Please. Give this guy a raise. He represents the best of the service industry. ❤️“

“First time here and I highly recommend it. Great food and big portions for your money. Will return!!“
