Restaurants in Forest Lake

“We just went here for the first time. The staff was so welcoming and it was some of the best food we've eaten. We will be back again soon (probably next week, it was the delicious!) Plus it feels great to support a family-owned, local business! 1000% recommend trying Best Steakhouse!”

“The tacos, burritos and bowls are the BEST! We go there at least 2 times a week now cause they are that good! The burgers are phenomenal as well. Hands down the best place to eat in Forest Lake.”

“This is the best sub shop within an hour of the cities and it's not overpriced. highly recommend”

“They were very fast and friendly even on a busy night. Food was good but a little expensive for what we got.”

“What a GREAT place! Wings were fantastic! Drinks were great if I lived closer I would be at this place once or twice a month.!”

“Was pleasantly surprised with this restaurant! The food was carefully created, very good, prices reasonable, taste was out of this world! Our server was fun and great with suggestions.”

“Went to bubble time in Chaska. Loved the mango slushie and mochi ice cream! This will be my go to spot for boba! Thank you”

“chicken& chorizo burritos supreme was absolutely delicious! but my husband's order of El pastor was like super greasy he ate a couple bites then got sick in the bathroom”

“You just don't see good customer service anywhere anymore let alone fast food. Dawn was a breath of fresh air, so friendly and professional she made our breakfast a delight! Thanks Dawn and team! It's also very clean in there!”

“muy buena comida y bebida”

“Amazing restaurant and atmosphere! First day of spring was over 70°. Zoukmaya was open and I decided to stop in! There’s an amazing staff of women who greet you. Beautiful people inside and out, very accommodating and helpful. Briana, I believe was the server who assisted me. She got me pointed in the right direction with the Birra tacos 🌮 As someone who grew up on Hispanic food, their food gives grandma’s food some serious competition! Briana was and the staff still were the best part of my visit. Definitely gave me spring break vibes but like I was out of state 🍹 And don’t get me started on the drinks! 🍍🔥🔥”

“Food was SO good and portion was filling! Bar tender was so friendly and helpful - and really accommodating! The street tacos with the corn tortillas were among the best I’ve had. The server was polite and friendly too. I’m bummed I didn’t snap a photo, however — I’ll be back!”

“Great people and AWESOME food! Looking forward to their return ❤️”

“One of my favorite small business to support. Very friendly staff, super creative drinks and the latte art is always on par !”

“When I visit this local coffee shop, my coffee is always done right! Love this place!❤☕”

“Clean facility kind staff super patient with our kids (8, 3, 7mo) and brought their food out right away. On top of the refills and all around one of the best Applebee's we have been to.”

“Love this restaurant and the community that comes with it!!”

“I had the hot sandwich the chicken Philly was really good. Great customer service, very clean store,friendly staff. We have had sandwiches from here this is our 2nd time going here.”

“We just happy to give this review for Olivia what a wonderful awesome dynamic hostess her first day at work she did an awesome job and made sure that all her guests were satisfied and guess what it's my birthday and she got me a free birthday meal kudos to you Olivia Sandy Jones and Dion Nelson June 19th 2023”

“Love, Love their pizza!!
The amount of toppings is awesome.
I went to another chain pizza place that usually has a good reputation and it appeared they put each piece of sausage and pepperoni (all 10 pieces) individually on it..very sad!
Not Chanticlear!!! Awesome.
Ps. The crust could be more crisp”

“I tried the waffle & chicken and fish slider sandwiches in addition to some original sliders. All were tasty.”

“We always get takeout so I can't speak to the atmosphere, but the food is delicious with large portions. There's another Asian restaurant closer to us that's OK, but it's worth driving a few extra miles to Joy Garden - plus they're open late on weekends!”

“Shout out to my new favorite spot! This is the only bar in the North Branch area that will play a Packers Game for locals and not just the Vikings games. They are extremely friendly. The owner is amazing and accommodating unlike, sadly, some of the other local owners who won't even make eye contact with patrons. Their food is amazing! The bartender and waitress are hard workers especially given the short staffed situation of all places as of late. We go out alot and this place is the place we will frequent even though it's farther away than others! Love it here. Thanks Friar's!”

“Wonderful cakes! Moist and delicious 🤤”

“We stopped to grab food at 4:30 today. Just felt like leaving a review the staff inside were so great today like good vibes all around. Shout out to the guy who helped me at the cash register you are very good at your job!!”

“Becky goes above and beyond serving the community! Products are excellent quality and so yummy. I feel so great after the pre workout and like to add a shot of aloe to it!!! She took time to answer questions I had in detail and has a wonderful boutique inside as well!”

“The manager at this location was exceptional. She was so personable, hard working and extremely dedicated to making sure customers were helped in an extremely timely manner given she was the only staff member. This Subway franchise should be extremely grateful they have such an outstanding manager.”

“Love Pizza Pub, good pizza and great service! Fantastic spot on the lake.”

“Always impeccably maintained and fabulous to play.As a Golf Club, there are lots of tournaments, leagues and fun events to be involved in that stretch the season to its very best.”

“I went through Drive-thru. They lady was kind, helpful and no irritation in her voice. Greeted us warmly & inviting. She got the order correct. We didn't have to wait long for her to come to the window, get the payment & hand us our order. She was well groomed. She smiled @ us & thank us for ordering. I'm definitely a Starbucks Fan. I was leary before but, this new Starbucks in North Branch, MN I'd recommend it.”

“After a long day of medical appointments with my mom, just wanted a quick dinner and relax. Went through Arby's drive through, ordered dinner for 3, got food and drove to Mom's. Sorting food, when we got there, realized we only had part of our order. Drove back to Arby's, went inside with food and receipt in hand and told the Manager what had happened. He apologized, remade all the food and gave us 2 complimentary meals. That is customer service! one of the sandwiches was the new beer cheese and beef. It was sooo good. Thank you Arby's for great food and spectacular customer service!”

“Great food, great atmosphere!!”

“Great menu w lots of options! Fois was quite good; likewise the service. Pool’s tables and shuffleboard, plenty of TVs for sports viewing. Outside patio for sunny days. Great location! Give it a try.”

“I’ve been to Culver’s a few times recently. The food is good overall, but the staff can be a little hit or miss. Sometimes you get someone who is really great and friendly, and other times it feels like the employee just doesn’t want to be there.
They are usually pretty good about remaking items if something is incorrect, which I appreciate. You can typically expect to wait in line to order since the ordering process can take a bit. Once ordered, the food usually comes out within about 10 minutes, sometimes longer if it’s really busy.
The price for what you get is a little high, but the food is still enjoyable. You can usually find tables unless it’s during a really busy time. Overall, it’s a decent place to stop for a meal, especially if you’re craving burgers or frozen custard.”

“all the buffet food was fresh and delicious! #1 out of all the buffets I have been too hands down!”

“3/20/26

Katlyn is always so friendly when I come through the drive through 10/10!!”

“We have lunch every Friday at Norman Quacks. We have never had a bad meal yet. The staff is always great at making our time there so enjoyable.”
