Our waitress was fantastic super nice and conversational we’ll be lifetime customers. Mags our waitress was amazing - promote ahead of peers give her annual bonus. ✨“

“Ryan was the absolute best server that I have encountered in my life! I have an anaphylaxis food allergy. He was so on top of making sure that whatever I ordered wasn't going to be an issue. He checked with the head chef 3 different times about different entrees, so I could have the best experience. We are from out of town and will definitely be back due to the great service provided. Ryan, thank you so much for being so attentive in regards to my allergy. Tonight's experience made your restaurant, one I will always recommend.“

“Best date I’ve ever had!!!!! If wasn’t for my date, the experience would’nt have been so good.“

“Monday special smash burger was really good and very affordable. Just the right amount of food. No refill on my iced tea is my only real complaint. After food was delivered we didn't see the waitress again until she brought us the bill.“

“We come here from St. Michael and love it! Great food and drinks, reasonable prices, and friendly staff. Our favorite dinner and drinks place in the area! They don’t take reservations and it is popular, so you usually have to wait for a table.“

“Great food. Great service! Crystal is an awesome server!Very accommodating and friendly.“

“Long time customer first time complainer. Maynard’s has always had my favorite summer Margarita on the wharf, but this year it has been inconsistent and they added orange juice is a skinny spicy Margarita! First of all no self-respecting margarita has orange juice, and second of all, you can’t make a skinny margarita with pure sugar in orange juice. Please put it back and make it consistent so we can rely on having a great drink every time.“

“Great service…great food…great prices!“

“My first time there in a while and I was greeted by a great host/server named Chelsie, she definitely made me feel welcomed while I was there, even while she was busy with other guest she made me still feel like I was a priority and welcomed... That lady needs a raise!“

“I don't normally write reviews unless I get bad service. But I find this Perkins in Maple Grove MN to be Awesome. This is my families Perkins of choice passing by two others much closer Perkins just to go to the Maple Grove location. Our server Taylor was attentive, polite and very in tune to our groups needs. She is and example of what a waitress or waiter should be. The food was great and the building / bathroom cleanliness was expletory. My hats off to the manager and staff of the Maple Grove Perkins just south of 694 on Hemlock Lane.“

“Had a great experience at Blvd Kitchen & Bar. The atmosphere was modern, welcoming, and relaxed, making it a great place to unwind after a long day. The food was fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared, with generous portions and great presentation. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect throughout the meal. Whether you’re stopping in for dinner or drinks, this is definitely a place worth visiting. I’ll be back the next time I’m in town!“

“Our two visits to Layline have both been excellent. Enthusiastic servers and terrific food. Our favorite menu item has been the Watermelon salad. We had it on both visits and it was extraordinary both times.
We've enjoyed the Bywater Burger, Chicken Sandwich, Pork Chop and the Sea Bass. All were terrific. Duck fat fries also fantastic. We will definitely be back for more.“

“We had a brunch for 16 people at 11am. While they weren't able to hold seating/make reservations; they were able to make it a very short waiting time. Page and the serving crew were amazing! We had no waiting time on ordering and our server was professional and speedy. They kept the drinks coming and we had someone in our party with a lot of special food needs and they were wonderful! First place we've been to where my husband could eat an entire meal to his fill. The food was delicious! No one in the entire party had a single complaint! Wonderful blueberry rice sausages, eggs, pancakes, taco salad, hot tea, coffee, French toast, hashbrowns, English muffins, toast, and more! The decor is adorable! We're so lucky to have found this little cafe as we're from all around the US here for a wedding. It seems to be a local favorite as it was packed! Younger generations and older and everywhere in between! THE go to place if you live in the area or if you're just visiting! You won't be disappointed! Thank you for helping make our visit so wonderful! 10 STARS!“

“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.“

“Well, let's see. I thought it was going to be like a sit-down, relax restaurant. Take your time. Might take a little while for your food to come out. Our server, Ashley, was nice. Quick to come take our order, quick to offer a refill when the beverage ran out. Our meals came out so quickly, though. It felt like not even 20 minutes went by after we placed the order and BAM meals arrive. They must've read my order incorrectly. I said no bleu cheese and it came out with bleu cheese. They brought it back and then like 20 minutes later, brought me a new plate. It looked like they just scraped the side dishes from the original plate to the new plate. They were cold where the extra butter I ordered didn't even melt. The waffle fries on my wife's plate, in my opinion, were cold or old. Wife said they were fine. Service was great! Ashley provided a little discount since they messed up my order. Food on the other hand, felt more like a quick service restaurant versus a sit-down, relax restaurant. No offers for dessert. I didn't even see a dessert menu or on the main menu. This really wasn't the best experience, but not the worst experience. I only recommend Clive's because Ashley was so quick and friendly. For the rest, no I would NOT recommend Clive's.“

“Always nice to find a hidden Gem!! I had the Asian Chicken Salad and a friend had the Mediterranean Chicken Bowl. Both were full of flavor and generous portions. The combo of the two dressings that come with the Asian Chicken Salad was awesome!
Staff members were fun and friendly.“

Exception follows! Thank you Culver’s for providing thee only thing my kiddo can eat post wisdom teeth extraction.

Your CUSTARD has been a lifesaver. Will be back for more on Day 2.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!“

“I have been attending for 20 years. The staff has turned over many times. Food is always perfect. Staff is the variable. I have two worthy of particular honors. They are Cathy and Shannon. Pin gold medals on the both. Don't let them leave until they are much too old. They make Perkins for me“

“Last night, we held a real estate client party at Rush Creek and the entire event was perfectly executed. From the initial meeting a few weeks earlier to the final guest walking out, it was a wonderful evening. Great food, craft cocktails and dedicated servers who were outstanding. Loved how management checked in to ensure everything was flowing well and to our satisfaction. I highly recommend Rush Creek for any event you and your organization/wedding/biz are planning. Thank you Rush Creek for creating wonderful memories for us and our valued clients.“

“Can’t wait to go back for great food and service“

“We hosted our daughter’s ceremony in Medina Entertainment center, and the service and coordination were exceptional. Everything was perfectly planned and executed just as we had requested. The ceremony went smoothly, and our guests thoroughly enjoyed it. The event coordinator Christy, bar server, and food server all did an outstanding job. I would definitely plan my next event here again. Thank you“

“Friends who live in the area took me out for dinner at Roberts. I selected a starter for my meal as I wasn't that hungry. Ordered the quesadillas. They were dine but I was perplexed with the sides of lettuce, tomatoes, etc...that more like salad components. They certainly couldn't be added to the quesadillas easily. I asked for some ranch dressing and made a side salad. Some tortilla chips and or some frioles would have been a better accompaniment. Sam, our server was an absolute delight. Give that young man a raise. Atmosphere was quiet and we could converse easily.“

“Romeo would like to thank this Culver’s for making him his very last gigantic vanilla Sunday this morning 02/10/2022 at 10:00 am! He had half now and will have the other half before it’s time to say goodbye! Only the best for the very best dog✨ 💖💟 Thank you Culver’s employees for making his morning tasty.“

“Local fare done well. Great service!“

“The best French Onion Soup in the Twin Cities is at The Sunshine Factory.“

“I moved in earlier than I planned because there wa no reason not too. I am very happy at The Waters and so glad I made the move. The "cottages" are wonderful even though there is downsizing to get done. The staff is very helpful and cheerful. The food is great - besides the 'every day menu," there are specials for lunch and dinner. The menu is quite varied with chicken, beef/veal, pork, turkey and vegetarian.“

“The ordering to go was amazingly fast. No sitting in a one hour drive through backup! Who knew!!!“

“Good spot to stop for a beer and brat. Was not impressed with the food. Meat was dry and buns were soggy before I got a bite in. Might have been an off night but it was still good. Lots of beer options and an easy place to stop with a big group.“

“Great food!! The crab cake was Amazing… don’t forget to get an Amazing margarita 🍹“

“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.“
