50 Best American Restaurants near Hugo

“My wife and I tried this place years ago, and we did not enjoy the food at all. I literally couldn't even eat the leftovers. I noticed a lot of positive reviews from recent times, and we decided to give it another go, as we wanted Chinese. My gosh, I have never seen such a turn around before. Everything we got was fantastic, and it's easily the best Chinese food within 20 miles. Whatever changes you made, excellent job. Keep this level of quality, and you'll have customers for life.“

“My husband and I have been going to the blacksmith restaurant for over 40 years. The only item I have had is their chicken which is addicting. They sell more Broasted chicken than anyone else in Minnesota. All their food is great but it is their chicken for me. At least once a week I have to have it. They have a 12 piece to purchase and take out also….we have done that after eating there !!!!!!!“

“I rarely go out to eat because usually the food is overpriced and disappointing. It’s been so long since I enjoyed a perfect burger I forgot how good they can be. I am not kidding, the dream burger is some kind of special.“

“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.!“

“I was here visiting from out of state and had the Canadian Walleye about 3 years ago and enjoyed it so much that I couldn't wait to have it again during this visit! I was delighted that it was still on the menu; I recommend it! 😋 👌“

“Nick was our waiter recently for a birthday celebration… he was exceptionally accommodating and made our evening! Food great as always.“

“Great food every time, with so many options to choose from, and great people!“

“First time here. You order at the counter here, then food is brought out. The pancakes and sausage were fantastic! Nice little place to meet someone to catch up or stop to grab a coffee. Also have outdoor seating for the nicer days.“

“Overall great atmosphere and the food is quite good other than the fries which gave me a yucky tummy from the grease. I was shocked, however, to be charged $7 for hot tea! SEVEN DOLLARS. Seriously? It's water and a cheap tea bag. 🤨 Another reason to stick with lukewarm tap water when eating out. Also be aware that there is a 2.9% fee for using a credit card. I'm not sure if it's noted on the menu but it's on the bottom of the check.“

“Culver’s has the best Butter Burger’s - North Atlantic Cod & famous Custard of the day! I have been going to the Vadnais Heights Culver’s for several years! The friendly staff is “Impeccable “ I always buy the Calendars & Gift Cards! Thank You Culver’s for supporting our Farmers! 5 Golden Stars! 😊“

“This was my first time and it won’t be the last. Thank you for a spectacular dinner last Saturday night. A few of my neighbors and I had a great time. Hopefully we can bring more people next time.“

“I work here and it's the best golf course in Minnesota in my opinion the course is very easy to follow the staff is exceptional, it's really clean, and the atmosphere is amazin. I recommend it to anyone who wants to become a member because it's a private course.“

“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!“

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

“The food was piled high and tasted homemade. However, our waitress left little to be desired. Took half our drink order then disappeared. When she showed back up the remaining 3 people tried to order their drinks and she cut us off asking 'are you getting food?'. We'd like to order our drinks before our food. Then when all of our drinks arrived our food showed up at the same time. It took less time to get our food than coffee and water. She was short, rude and kind of ruined our experience.“

“Great people! Great food! Monthly specials are fun experiments that sometimes end up on the menu. If you haven’t been in a few years, give them another try. The current team and menu are awesome.“

“They serve super tasty, fresh sandwiches, salads and so much more! I love their Oriental salad and Zany Mullany sandwich combo. Open for breakfast too, Service is fast and prices are very reasonable. The staff is so fun -- I always come away happy that I stopped in!“

“Great night for
Culver’s. Speedy service and not much of a line. Food was great as usual no issues with my order. The dogs approved of their pup cups. Somehow only one onion ring was in the bag when I made it home so that’s a mystery for next time“

“Jimmy’s is always good. The staff is outstanding! Food is very good, great specials! Wild rice soup best I have tasted ever! Bingo two mornings and two nights very well run!“

“I came in to eat on Saturday, and Lillian was our server. She was the sweetest girl ever! She genuinely took the time to explain the menu to us since we hadn’t been to Perkins in so long. She took such great care of us, checked on us throughout our meal, and made us feel so welcomed. We’ll definitely be back!“

“The Cubano was excellent, and the waffle fries and seasoned sour cream are better than other local establishments. I had to give props to the cooks. Most bar food is mediocre, but I was so impressed with their food. We had a great Sunday afternoon here chatting with regulars and the staff. Everyone was very friendly. We will be back!“

“Amazing atmosphere, great food and reasonably priced. The live music is a plus!!!“

“I thought i would give this a try as I was in the area on a Friday night. The casino is small but offers quite a bit of card games for those who enjoy poker, black jack, pai gao and several others. When you first walk in, the bar area and restaurant greet you, I grabbed a seat at the bar and was quickly offered a water and menu. I ordered a club sandwich and fries($10), my sandwich arrived pretty quickly and was delicious. the club is large and filling, and the fries were tasty. If you are looking for a good value in the Forest Lake area, it's hard to pass up Trout Air Tavern but it does come with whole Casino vibe.“

“Food is good. Stopped in for dinner last night. 12 bucks for a Sam Adams Oktoberfest on tap seems a little excessive.“

“We came to Stillwater for a nighttime get away and stumbled upon Sal’s. We were seated immediately, greeted by our waitress, Penny with a smile and great conversation! The menus had great variety and was delicious! This place is worth the trip for us and we WILL be back! Thanks Penny for your awesome service that made our visit that much better!“

“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!“

“We came mothers day to take my sons and wife out had a great time foods good steaks were real tasty the server was funny and great.“

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!“

“Great atmosphere Long happy hours Prices you can’t beat! Gambling Bingo Twice a week And I hear the service is great“

“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!!!!“

“The best tap list in the Twin Cities northeast metro and guaranteed to have everyone’s favorite appetizer and meal on the menu. It’s a must stop for anyone visiting White Bear Lake and has the best patio in the historical downtown area. Whether you are visiting for the first time or lived here your whole life, you’ll love this place!“
