50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Excelsior

“A cute little space with a fireplace, seasonal decorations, paintings on the walls, free WiFi, a diverse menu, group seating and individual seating, cold drinks in a fridge, customer bathroom, children's art, bulletin board for community flyers, a water dispenser, checkerboard table with checkers (recycled bottle caps), etc. My baristas were extremely friendly and service was quick. Caramel frappe was delicious. They feature local art vendors and I purchased an adorable pair of earrings. If I lived here, I would be in this coffee shop every single week.“

“Love love the trolley. I’ve Photograph it so many times. Lost track. The ice cream is always a must. Love the chairs. Hmmm. Can we have more there?? Hee hee“

“Outstanding food. Never disappointed.“

“My husband and I came from Ohio to celebrate his birthday and we had some time to kill before attending Paisley Park for our tour. So we stopped at this establishment and the staff and the people in the area were friendly. As for the brew I'm not a beer drinker but I did try the Rosé seltzer and it was really good. Hubby and I definitely had a great experience!“

“Delicious pastries, great service and atmosphere.“

“The food was the best, I mean the absolute best.“

“Had a wonderful experience for dinner on a very busy Dec. 23rd. Our party of 3 arrived at about 6:10 to a waiting list of approx. 6 other parties. We were told 20 minutes to wait, it was no more than 15 minutes. Service was spot-on time-wise and efficiency-wise. Food was excellent. Portions were huge. I feel it is a great place to enjoy a meal.“

“A beautifully appointed restaurant with a perfect menu selection.

One key thing not to miss are the side dishes the carrots with dates where incredible with just the right blend of spices to make such a simple side dish unforgettable.

For those that are worried about the horseradish spread, don’t worry the kick is very “Minnesota” light you won’t even know it’s horseradish.“

“Awesomeness people awesomeness food. I love the young Viet people there. Am from Canada.“

“The Pineapple Boat was Amazing! Loved the street tacos!“

“I reached out via their Facebook messenger to order a custom cake for Mother's Day. Communication was prompt and courteous. The cake turned out so stinking cute! It was just the right amount of icing to cake ratio and so moist! Will definitely order cakes in the future!“

“My burger has always been a solid choice for a quick bite. I have always done takeout and my order has never been late. One time I ordered to the wrong store and no questions asked they sorted it out for me and got me out of there as fast as the burgers could cook.“

“Best brewery around! We are so lucky to have them in our community!“

“Great service… Every friendly staffing… welcomes everyone…“

“The best hot dog ever! 🤤 Very friendly service!“

“I just watched one of Josh’s videos and saw what y’all did. Any business that helps their community is just amazing to see but any business that’s willing to go half in as soon as they heard it was for the homeless shelter just melts my heart and gains my recommendation any day. I Haven’t been to Minnesota and would love to try y’all’s food one day. Just by looking at some of those chicken sandwiches makes me so hungry.“

“Great food, great service!“

“I stop by Basecamp almost every day for my iced coffee, and it never disappoints. I order the same drink each time, and the quality is consistently excellent. The staff is always friendly, and the service is top-notch. Skip the big chain coffee shops support Basecamp instead!“

“This was our first time here and we had such a great time. So many beverage options and a fun, relaxed place to be. We will be back very soon!“

“Great food and a fun atmosphere.“

“One on my favorite breweries, they have great beer, friendly staff, and fun times. The brewery is very community centric, and dog friendly. There are two patios, one that is out front of the building and the other in updstairs. The upstairs patio is very quite and one the best kept secrets in Shakopee. The beers are great, the Hazy IPA is incredible and the Mexican lager is amazing. There is a reason these beers keep wining in the MN brewer's cup.“

“Friendly service and good food!“

“Best tasting beer around. Great atmosphere“

“My favorite brewery! They love their community so much! The beer is always good, staff is friendly and welcoming, always a good rotation of food trucks, and the events they do are a blast! Definitely come check them out next time you're in the area 🩷“

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

“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!“

“Boom Island Brewing and The Tile Shop Thanks for a great Party. What a great Brewery and they know how to host a Party! 💯“

“We always have such a great time at COV! The decor and music is always on point. The staff is so great.

Would be nice for another vegan food option. If the cauliflower appetizer could be made vegan it would open up options.“

“Great staff and food. Very fresh has a fun golf club machine“

“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“

“Amazing staff, first time there , explained the process well. Our server cooked the first round for us to show how it works. Great decor , atmosphere.“

“Wonderful team with great suggestions and assistance! Best coffee around- whoever roasts their coffee is an expert!!! We had our crew meeting there and they accommodated no problem with a quick call ahead! I would recommend it highly!!“

“A super cute boba place with fun flavors and even cool cups! There’s just something about those curved edges that make the drinks fun. The Ube Latte Crème Brûlée boba is my favorite so far. My daughter of course enjoys the Miffy mascot. We will turn this into one of our main treat go to places for sure!“

“Highly recommend! As a local to the area, I think it is incredibly important to support small businesses! Even when they are super busy and running like mad trying to bartend, run trivia, change kegs, and make sure all customers have what they need, their staff is great. Reading through previous reviews, it’s clear that some people have never worked in the industry and have no patience or compassion.“

“I overlooked the rating function in my last post. Jets gets a five star for all aspects of their business.“

“The chicken Parmesan and asada bowl are some my favorite dishes here. The Happy hour Buy 1 Get 1 for $1 is the best in the area. I typically come because bartender Julieta is awesome and fast with drinks.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great customer service!!!“

“Years ago was excited to see all the locations opening in the southwest metro. This morning I noticed all but one has closed. My favorite was Chaska, perfectly cooked, prompt delivery. Eden Prairie tended to undercook, where Chan always overcook. I always felt that the Chan location had them pre-prepared and cooked. Pizza's tended to be overcooked and dry.
So when Chaska closed due to franchisee issues I was left wondering where to go. Only location near me was the Chanhassen one. Was willing to go for a little bit of a ride to either the one east of Excelsior, or the one in Shakopee like I said earlier they are now closed. I had a gift card that I wanted to use so off to Chanhassen I go.
Surprise surprise surprise the pizza was delicious. Hot, fresh, perfect leopard spots on the cheese.
I'm now thinking maybe they grew too fast and the franchise and crew just don't follow the rules. I will be giving the Chan location another try as I feel this was a huge turn around for them.“

“Best marine on the lake 👍🏽“

“Yummy as always! Great food! Authentic family recipes! Love the vibe! Attentive wait staff!“

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