Restaurants near Lake Elmo

“We recently got married (October 2024) and Lake Elmo Inn catererd our wedding. It was absolutely AMAZING! We had the prime rib carving station and the walleye as well as the duck soup and salad. Our guests are still talking about the food. We decided to upgrade to the "LEI Experience" which means each of your guests get a warm hand towel, an intermezzo sorbet, and a chocolate covered strawberry!!! We were over the moon with the service on the night of the wedding and all our communication with LEI throughout the process. Special shoutout to Kayla G. who was the most patient, professional, and kind event manager! She answered every single one of my (many) questions and she did so with a smile! On the night of the wedding, we were SO impressed with how fast the servers were able to get to each of our guest tables and keep the flow going. It was seamless, seriously. We cannot recommend Lake Elmo Inn Catering enough. They've total pro's and just know that you'll be in good hands. Thank you again to everyone on the team for your hard work to make the dream come true!! <3”

“Our new go to sushi place! All of the appetizers and sushi rolls we’ve had have been delicious. My son requested to come here for his 6th birthday, and even my very picky eater daughter ate almost an entire entree of the udon noodles. So so good!”

“I had an amazing experience at Dairy Queen, and I have to give a huge shoutout to Chase R. From the moment I interacted with him, he was friendly, professional, and genuinely cared about making sure everything was taken care of. His customer service really stood out, and you can tell he takes pride in his work and in making customers feel welcome.

Employees like Chase are exactly what make a business successful. He showed great leadership, attention to detail, and a positive attitude that you don’t always see. Honestly, after seeing how he handled everything, I wouldn’t be surprised at all if he ended up running the place. Dairy Queen should seriously consider promoting Chase R. to General Manager — he has the professionalism, work ethic, and people skills to absolutely crush it in that role. Give this guy a raise and a promotion!”

“Kristin was friendly, attentive, and efficient. Food was delicious and arrived faster than I would have expected.”

“MUST GO! Cocktails are unlike anything you will find anywhere else. Our Server, Brenna, was helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. The comfortable seating & light music make it a great place for a date or gathering with friends. And, prices are reasonable. We each had 2 cocktails and split the generous cheese platter for $100. Highly recommend!”

“Best coffee ever!!”

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

“We brought my dad to Ronnally’s for his 91st birthday today, and we couldn’t have been happier with the entire experience! The service and food were amazing! We had lasagna, pizza, and mac and cheese, and every single dish was delicious. The owner, Diana, made us feel so welcomed throughout the entire visit, and both she and her whole staff made my dad’s birthday one of his best. 🤗 We will absolutely be going back the next time we’re in Woodbury!”

“The Gouda Fondue was out of this world. Very delicious. Then the shrimp tacos and truffle fries followed suit. Great experience all around. Maybe get more team members to not have to wait as much. But even then, the wait was worth it.”

“One of the best restaurants on the east side of the twin cities, if you love wine with awesome food,this owner along with the staff, which is key, know how to serve the two together to have an unforgettable dinner.

“There are a lot of fancy places to eat in Stillwater, Minnesota, but you're never going to get anything better than this meatloaf. And if you're lucky enough to have Mary wait on you, all the better. I'm seriously not kidding. Don't skip this Meatloaf.”

“The scones are always moist, and the cups are well hung. Family owned, Family operated.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Best Sub sandwich in town!! Bonus the ice cream and Dole Whip flavors are worth the weekly visit!!”

“Were there last Saturday night with friends for dinner and the festivities outside. Had a great time and very impressed with the service. Some of our party were very late (got lost), but the server and host both were very accommodating. It's been years since we've been there from out-of-state, but thought both the food and event were great. Only small criticism, get a band that plays mostly German songs - don't need to hear oldies from this country at German event (e.g. Neil Diamond?).”
