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.“

“This is a great new addition to Excelsior. Another venue created by Jester group. They also have Parlour downstairs and a fusion Asian place nearby.
We started with the popovers. They were a great option. Light, eggy, and cooked to perfection. The honey butter was the perfect pairing. The Caesar salad was very well made, balanced, and very fresh ingredients. The chicken wild rice soup was a nice starter. Perfectly seasoned, creamy, a good balance of wild rice, veggies, mushrooms,& chicken.
The Agnolletti was a small plate but very rich and truffle-y. The pasta was properly cooked and the creamy cheese filling was silky smooth. The Au Jus beef was a highlight. The shaves beef was delicious and tender. The au jus had depth of flavor and really soaked in to perfectly textured bun. Maybe could have used just a tad more salt, but regardless the flavors popped.
The margarita and the gimlet were excellent. The cherry bark collins was refreshing.
Overall a delicious meal. Absolutely would go back!“

“always wonderful perfect thin crispy crust perfect ratio of toppings today we had the El Camino - excellent but the spicy arbol chili red sauce was too hot for us we should have asked for mild or just pico de Gallo. our son will enjoy it“

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

“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.“

“Food is very tasty and price could be more reasonable, staff is wonderful“

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

“Incredible quality sweets and super kind service! Can't beat that! We go almost every weekend!“

“cool place, great drinks - for matcha and coffee, the espresso was wonderful, drinks made a little slower but made RIGHT. Did not mind the wait at all. Not a place for in-and-out unless you need drip. I had a London Fog with alt milk and it was FABULOUS - no sugar, either. When you can get a coffee house dink right without adding sugar, then you kow it's actually good. Staff was attentive and professional/ Solid coffee shop. Get the photo booth fixed and you're a 10/5!“

“Absolutely one of the most satisfying hot dogs….for when you just GOTTA have a 🔥🐕‍🦺! I will return!!!!!“

“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 atmosphere but the beer is expensive! Was very surprised to $12/beer 😳“

“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.“

“Absolutely amazing! I loved everything about Unmapped Brewing. The place is awesome, the vibe is perfect, and the beers are top-notch. But the absolute highlight of the night was Shania—her excellent service, great energy, and stellar recommendations made our visit perfect. We will definitely be back!“

“Friendly service and good food!“

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

“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!“

“Best tasting beer around. Great atmosphere“

“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.“

“Situated beautifully along the lake with fantastic sunset views, COV Wayzata offers a wonderful ambiance that is especially enjoyable when the temperature permits outdoor seating. The service was exceptional throughout our visit, beginning with the highly accommodating staff who graciously allowed us to place our first round of happy hour drink and appetizer orders just minutes before the window closed. The tap beer selection is superb, and we started with the truffle fries, which were paired perfectly with a delicious truffle aioli.

One of the main courses we ordered was the steak frites accompanied by green asparagus and béarnaise sauce. While the flavor of the steak was excellent, the cut itself lacked a bit of tenderness. Additionally, while the restaurant boasts a strong wine list, the pricing reflects a remarkably steep markup; a bottle that typically retails for around $40 was priced at $155, which feels a bit excessive (normal for me as a Swede in Sweden, but not in the US…) Despite the steep wine prices, we ended the evening on a high note with a genuinely phenomenal Key Lime Pie. Overall, COV provides a highly memorable lakeside dining experience bolstered by top-tier service.“

“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“

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

“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 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.“

“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!!“

“My wife and I were craving pizza and stopped at Red's Savoy in Osseo,MN tonight to place a takeout order. John, the owner was working the counter and was a very friendly and funny guy. He is a great addition to the Osseo business district. We were going to order our pizza and go next door for a beer while they prepped it. John asked us why not have a beer here? So we did and he kept us laughing and entertained between answering the phone taking orders. The restaurant was clean, the company was good and pizza looked awesome and smelled and tasted even better. If you are craving pizza near Osseo,MN, do yourself a favor and head over to Red's Savoy and get the best pizza in town. Maybe even have a beer with the boss while you wait. The Eastsider pizza with the sauerkraut is a MN legend!“

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

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

“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.“

“Great customer service!!!“

“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.“

“I came in for drinks with a few friends and sat at the bar. Charlie was wonderful and made great drinks for us. Beautiful spot and appreciated that the manager Erin came in to check on us and make sure that we had everything that we needed.
Great spot!“

“Best marine on the lake 👍🏽“

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

“As usual we had fantastic food! We tried some new app’s and can not wait to try more. Fun fact, my Autistic son loved your pepperoni pizza! He eats very few kinds and the fact that he enjoyed your restaurant was great for me! We can add another place of approved places for him!! The atmosphere is beautiful and fun. Our service was top notch! Always the most important part for me. We will be back!“

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