“We had a wrestling tournament there and the service was awesome!!! They were busy with two staff on. The employees were patient and got our food right away. Kudos for the kids on night shift! Food was awesome also!”
“We made the trip from Austin, MN to Janesville specifically to visit The Purple Goose Smokehouse & Saloon! As our luck goes, we arrived right as breakfast was ending BUT the new owners were extremely friendly & let us order breakfast anyway!! The food alone was worth the trip! We ordered the ham & cheese omelet, french toast platter, pancake platter, and kids fries. Everything was delicious, and the waitress was excellent. Our first trip there, but it definitely won't be the last. Can't wait to return! Shelly & Doug are going to do just fine running this place ? Kid-friendliness: Our kids loved it! ESPECIALLYthe quarter game!! (Ages 8 & 2)”
“El Molino is a comfortable, friendly restaurant with good food and attentive staff. Great small-town atmosphere. Portions are generous. Definitely a top spot in Waterville!”
“SCOOPS is a quaint family run coffee and ice cream shop. I was sent on a coffee run near where my daughter's wedding venue was held. The shop owner filled me in on a bit of welcomed information. ? I explained to him that some of the wedding party were staying in hotels in Rochester, Minnesota. He shared with me that there are some cabin rentals (longer stay options) available on a lake nearby. I took a brochure and shared it with the rest of the wedding party. I hope it drums up some business for that location too! ?”
“Great food and service! Steak and shrimp for dinner special for $20 on Friday and Saturday, I highly recommend!Kid-friendliness: They provided a coloring book for my daughter while we were waiting!”
“Highly recommend getting out of Mankato and taking the trip out to The Backyard in Pemberton. The kindest staff and excellent food!Kid-friendliness: The offered to make my 1 year old daughter food immediately so she didn't have to wait!”
“Went 2 nights in a row with my son and grandson because the food was fantastic and we wanted to try some different items.The turkey commercial was wonderful. Tonight, I had the chicken fettuccine, which was also tasty. My son had the breakfast burger both nights and I'd definitely recommend the fresh cut steak fries (with dipping gravy!)”
“Fischer is a family owned bar that has served the community with quality for as long as can remember. My favorite item from there is the hot beef commercial, which is usually available every day. Highly recommend. Thank you, Pam and Rich Fischer, for every delicious meal you have served me.”
“Great service while ordering. Fast delivery. Excellent customer service from delivery gal. And of course the pizza was delicious. We had thin crust chicken alfredo. Highly recommend.”
“Fun place on the lake to go with a marina and lakeside patio seating. Plus they serve a full breakfast menu til 2pm on weekends, one of the few places in the area to do so.”
“We love this place! Great ice cream, tasty coffees, incredibly friendly staff, and even live music occasionally throughout the summer. Plus the owners, Nancy and Joe, are absolutely lovely people. This is a great small business to support!”
“Great experience at Tucker’s tonight! I believe our waitress was Kaitlyn (didn’t catch her name but that’s what the ticket said.) She was so sweet! Very patient with our kids- interacting with them all, and understanding of our 11 month old’s mess under his feet! She was the only one serving 6ish tables and the bar and she did great! The food was good but Will definitely be back for the service!”
“The place was super busy, but the service was still great! The server was on top of everything and did their best to get food out in a timely manor, especially for our large group of people!”
“A easy place to relax and have fun, wonderful blond that works there. She's very easy on the eyes and makes you feel when you were single and on the prowel.”
“One of the few MN wineries where I liked every single wine I've sampled. According to the owners, all wines are made from grapes grown in their own vineyard. Don't visit this winery very often, but enjoyed every visit. Staff is very knowledgeable, and friendly. Wine selection is exceptional, prices are decent. Would stack up this winery against nearly any Napa one ?”
