Restaurants in Forest Lake

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

“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!”

“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.!”

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

“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.”

“Didn't realize it was more high end prices. We both are a diet. My husband got a salad. I ordered a burger. Could get a chicken breast instead of patty. No extra charge paid a little extra to replace fries with fresh green beans”

“Staff is super friendly, restaurant is clean, and when you order anything to-go you can always count on it being made accurately with nothing missing. Blows t-bell out of the water.”

“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”

“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”

“So many wonderful smells! I created some interesting smells that floated around the restaurant!”

“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!”

“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! 🍍🔥🔥”

“muy buena comida y bebida”

“Love Papa Murphy’s pizza. We have never had a bad experience with the staff, ordering or pizza. Every 2 - 3 weeks that is our eat-out treat and we thoroughly enjoy it.”

“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!❤☕”

“Ordered online with App. Food was ready fast and it was delicious! I ordered the GIANT sub which feeds two easy. It comes quartered which is very nice. Me and the wife both ate half and the sandwich being cut into four sandwiches made it easy to eat.”

“We went in with low expectations from the bad reviews, but the food was amazing, super tasty, and came out quickly. I had the chicken lo mein combo with fried rice and cheese wontons and my husband had sesame chicken combo with fried rice and an egg roll. Both were super tasty. The sesame chicken was crispy and well sauced. The lo mein was saucy and flavorful with a good amount of chicken. We shared a Philadelphia roll. It was pretty average, still tasty. We also got boba tea; I got coconut milk tea with mango popping boba, and my husband got brown sugar boba milk tea. It didn't come with brown sugar tapioca pearls which we thought was weird. Turns out they don't have those, so they used crystal boba which were a weird texture. That's the only issue with our visit.”

“Trisha was the best. We tried to kidnap her and take her with us for girls night, but she said she had to keep working. We were pretty bummed. If you ever get rid of her we will not be happy, we will be back just to see her. Food was great too. We got the chicken tacos and they were fire.

Ask for Trisha!!!!”

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

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

“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!”

“Stopped in with my wife at Be Well Nutrition in downtown Forest Lake and we left genuinely impressed. She tried two of their protein shakes — a fruity one and a peanut butter flavor — and both were fantastic. Creative flavor menu, made fresh, and you can tell they actually care about the nutrition piece, not just throwing something in a blender. The staff were super friendly and helpful, took time to walk us through options, and made the whole stop feel welcoming. If you live in Forest Lake or anywhere in the north metro and you’re looking for a healthy shake, energy tea, or just a better-for-you alternative to the usual coffee shop run, this is the spot. Easy 5 stars — we’ll be back.”

“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”

“Great food, great atmosphere!!”

“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.”

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

“I was very impressed with this location! I was greeted cheerfully upon walking in and the 3 ladies working were very kind - plus they had exactly what I wanted (not every location has the vanilla creme all the time). 100/10 - Highly recommend! (only have a pic of my Sprinkles - I ate the other 2 lol)”

“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.”

“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.”

“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!”

“Had the Reuben - was pretty good for a quick-service restaurant and the fries were awesome.

Michael was our cashier and brought the food to our table. What an exceptional guy - great attitude, smile, and very helpful.

Had never been to a Culver's before but will definitely go again the next time I see one!”

“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.”

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