“You guys went over and above any expectations I had. We will definitely be back again and will be recommending LT around! The food was great and you more than made up for the mistakes made. Plus I think my husband is addicted to the bulgogi now.“
“Stopped in for lunch on a Sunday afternoon with my sister. She's not a huge burger person and she's been telling me how much she loves their burger here. I knew I had to try it. We started with spicy Bloody Mary.... Meal of champions. It was excellent. I ordered the cheeseburger and let me tell you, my sister wasn't kidding.... It was juicy, hot, and delicious. Fries were nice and hot. Next time, I'll ask for extra pickles. Small little dive bar. Lots of locals. Staff were very nice and friendly. You order your food at the window and it comes out quickly. There's a liquor store attached to the bar... that's pretty neat. I also stopped in here before a wedding in February for a few drinks before heading to the Lake Elmo Inn Event Center. Another good experience. If you're in the area or if you're in the mood for bar food, I highly suggest giving it a try. Prices are great too! WIN WIN in my book.“
“We stopped here on a whim after a flight and were very happy we stopped here. The food was plentiful and delicious and our server Leah was amazing and attentive. We have a 2 year old who can be a handful and our server was very kind and brought her some “
“We got the hot beef sandwich and pepper jack burger and loaded fries. The hot beef was good. Filling. Gracy was tasty. My husband said he can't recommend the pepper jack burger the patty was meh and the banana peppers were a weird fit. Loaded fries are to major win here they were so good, with good fries, lots of cheese, and real thick bacon.“
“The duck wontons are all that… not so bacony, but almost like creamed corn on the inside. Waiter was nice as well. Kept putting water on the table, though, so I kept drinking it because he expected me to. The people next to us looked at me weird after the fifth, but they kept coming so ??. Mac and cheese was bomb, fries were good, a little oniony which I loved. The drinks are big. Old fashioned comes with a waffle and candied bacon and in a smoky jar! $70 for 2 people is eek though. Especially when we split our main dish…“
“The food was absolutely amazing I really let gluttony take over and I ordered more than I could finish so epic leftovers! The establishment was pleasantly Decorous the beauty and the food definitely make up for the lack of space in the restaurant but that is my only complaint“
“Excellent service and friendly staff - the children's menu was broad in scope and they were in truth- family friendly. Adult meals were excellent as well with a wide selection of food and drinks, and reasonable pricing. The divided spaces made it very quiet throughout for the non-family adults and gave it a nice pub 'feel' for all.“
“The spicy meatball is my favorite thing on the menu. My husband loves the calamari. We enjoy the minute chicken and the tots as well. The staff are always so friendly and professional. For a special treat, get a blue cheese stuffed olive martini. And when it comes to dessert, you better save room cause they're huge.“
“We parked at one end of Hudson and walked the main strip looking for a new place to eat. We stumbled on Black Rooster ?, and it called to us. There's a steep flight of stairs leading you into the cool cave like atmosphere of the place.We had wine ? and smoked old fashioneds (yum) to start. We had the pan-roasted chicken breast ? and seared sea scallops, which were both amazing. The menu rotates, so who knows what we'll get next time (and there will be a next time).Parking: There are pay parking lots all along the main strip (pay only during specific hours).“
“I had a Chocolate Malt from Leo's today. I think it was the best chocolate malt I have ever had, and I have had a lot of them. I honestly don't know what was different about it, but it was amazing. I can't wait to go back and have another one. I wish they had a really big one.“
“Went for breakfast on March 9th, the atmosphere was great, and the food was AMAZING and tasted so, so good. Overall, we were so happy and satisfied with the more than happy to give this place high reviews. The only negative side to this story was that the waitress who served us did not seem happy that we chose to eat there. She barely greeted us and even asked about the specials. She simply pointed to the whiteboard and told us they were listed on the board and then walked away. When taking out order, she seemed to have an attitude and acted like she did not want to be there. Not one did she come by to check if we needed a refill of coffee or how the meal was. In fact, she did not bother to come by until we flagged down another waitress to get our coffee refill. She did not thank us when we paid for our meal despite getting a $25 tip.Despite all this we would recommend this restaurant for a great atmosphere and wonderful food. We do plan to give this place a second chance on our next trip back.“
“Agave Kitchen has firmly established itself as one of my favored dining destinations in Hudson, distinguished by its array of flavorful dishes. The ambiance it provides is suitably versatile, accommodating both professional dinner meetings and casual outings with friends and family. This adaptability, combined with its culinary excellence, underscores the establishment's commitment to creating a welcoming and enjoyable dining experience for a diverse clientele.“
“FAST - seated within a minute. Order taken by Kelly within 3 minutes. Food arrived within 10 minutes. Hot. Plentiful. Place was clean. All equipment appeared professional and in good order. Everyone worked as a team. I highly recommend this family run restaurant!“
“Our server was perfectly attentive without being overwhelming! Great food. Good drinks. An enjoyable Sunday night for casual dinner and drinks with a friend. The cheese curds are literally the best I've ever had outside of the State Fair.“
“I can't say enough about this place. We came here for my birthday dinner on the recommendation of a relative. I made a reservation and we were seated promptly at a cute window table. Our server made great wine recommendations, based on what we planned to order for dinner and her personal favorites. She took into account any budgetary requirements. The wine was absolutely delightful. We ordered charcuterie, which was just the right amount without taking away our appetite for dinner. The pasta dishes are incredible. Our favorite was the orecchiette which had a Bolognese sauce. The desserts were exactly the right size that we could each order our own and were so delicious. We can't wait to come back!“
“Nathaniel helped us host a fabulous party for my son (6) and his friends. He checked in regularly and took great care of us. Food was great and everything went as smoothly as I could have hoped. Thanks to the whole team for a great Sunday night!“
“What a cute place! Lots of things to look at and Wow, the tea selection is huge! I met my sisters for breakfast and we had speedy and friendly service. Portobelo mushroom and bacon waffle got good reviews. Very tasty. The jalepeno and spicy sausage quiche got excellent reviews. Had a good kick! The scrambled eggs looked great and tasted good. Just a tiny bit on the dry side. The fresh fruit that came with our orders included orange and pineapple slices as well as a few green grapes. All were appropriately juicy and were refreshing. I had the masala chai tea (black) and that was good too. I would definitely come back and try items off lunch menu.“
“Extremely recommended. The food and burgers are delicious, thick, and fresh. Lots of options to pick from, but you can also build your own with lots of condiment options. BRING YOUR KIDS. Their kids meals are great - and they get a Hershey Kisses Lollipop which is waaaay throwback! If you’re in Woodbury, this is where you get a burger. You can try other places, but this is where you’ll have the best food.“
“We have passed by Phil’s Tara for years, and always said “I really want to try that place”. Well, today we did, and it was simply divine. We don’t get out on date night often, but when we do, we want to try new things; oysters were our first endeavor. Out waiter, Jackson, gave us the entire 4-11 on exactly how to throughly enjoy oysters, and we ordered more after. Jackson truly made our experience one-of-a-kind.We fell in love with Phil’s Tara today, and we will be back again, and again.“
“I recently visited for a Saturday lunch, and overall, it was a fantastic experience! Despite being busy, the service was impressively fast, and the staff was incredibly friendly. The only downside was the small interior, which made it a bit loud, especially during peak hours. However, it's perfect for groups of six or under, with an ideal size for 2-4 people. I tried the Lilo burger, which was delicious but quite spicy due to the ghost cheese. My partner opted for the chicken tacos and couldn't stop raving about them. However, the real star of the show was the smoked salt fries - they were absolutely phenomenal! If you're looking for a lively spot for lunch in Stillwater, I highly recommend giving this place a try. It's perfect for a fun day out!“
“This is a staple when I’m in town- love bringing my dog in the summer for the patio. The menu changes regularly and everything is always amazing. Tried some chicken penne and cake this time around- the burgers are also really good especially with the caramelized onions.“
“If you want delicious food, do yourself a favor and head over. Their salad dressings are made from scratch and that's my favorite thing. The ranch is SOOO delicious! I haven't tried others but my sister and friends loved multiple other kinds. The soup and sandwiches are great, too. The desserts are great and they serve Northern Soda, which is a fun treat, too! I've gone here with multiple friends and relatives and everyone, even "hard to please at restaurants" think it's great!“
“This is a favorite of ours, ate here again tonight after picking our son up at the airport (home is Eau Claire). I love burgers, but there is a wonderful variety on the menu for everyone. And the sun was setting over the river to top it off!Kid-friendliness: Lots of families dining tonight, welcoming atmosphere“
“The service was great And my burger was so juicy... my husband had the Elote wings and they were so good.. the wings were unlike anything I've ever had anywhere. Oh, and don't forget you want chips their chips were so good and get it with a side of their dill sour cream.. or the ranch because the ranch was really good too“
“Great food and service! They were really busy on a Friday and we didn’t have reservations but they got us in right away and into a nice curve both. The 8oz sirloin was above average. Hubs said the chicken and ribs was extra good. Our friends seemed to like the ahi and the full rack of ribs.“
“This establishment is still branding themselves and their passion to do so shows both in their service as well as their product. They put a unique twist on every thing they serve. You may not always love it but you will never be disappointed. Their unique spin on classics like a bloody mary and margarita pizza will have you rethinking your favorite hot spot for these classics! Get in and get some before they become comfortable and they slide into mediocrity.“
“I’m giving them 5 stars because Mick was amazing the woman that came in to relieve him on Sunday was EXTREMELY rude she was rude to him and the customers!’I work in the business and if I Ever treated a co worker or customer the way she did , I wouldn’t have a job!! She needs to work on her attitude in a major way! You don’t degrade. Your. Coworker in front of customers! Not Cool!!!We left when. She. Came on“
“Over the top servings for breakfast, easily split the plate size omelette with my daughter. A single pancake is the size of a dinner plate. Great tasting food, great service. For Mimosa's they bring a glass of Orange juice and a small bottle of Prosecco to add. Class act!“
“A Good Neighborhood Sports Bar with a Great Menu and some off the menu items that are an awesome surprise, if you're lucky enough to get Pork chop on a stick night plan on having 3 that is what I usually do anyway, the walleye they have is as good as if I caught it and cleaned it then cooked it myself, that says allot because I can do that and find it hard to order that when I can do it myself but I think it is as good as mine! The crew is pretty good and you are not going to have to wait long for anything“
“We used Tinucci’s Catering for our wedding and couldn’t say enough good things. From start to finish we had an amazing experience! Mark Jr was so easy to work with (even though I wasn’t) and the food was better than fantastic! Everything was PERFECT and I couldn’t have asked for better service! We will recommend to everyone! Thank you Mark Jr and your staff for an amazing dinner and bar for our wedding!“
“Great food and atmosphere! Only downfall is we felt a little rushed, maybe our waiter was just checking on us often because we mentioned it was our first time visiting. Other than that the food was amazing, highly recommend the cheesecake. They also have mock tails which was a huge plus! Definitely visit if you're in the area!“
“Tried Cloverleaf for the first time tonight with some friends - it did not disappoint! This is a great little bar to grab a drink, chat with friends, watch some sports, and grab a bite to eat! We tried the Chicken Melt, Cheeseburger, BLT, and Mozzarella Sticks. All were delish and I would come back again for them. Our server Sarah was super friendly and helpful. Very cool atmosphere where you don’t feel pressured to leave and can easily spend some time amongst friends.“
“Matchstick has become my "go-to" place whenever friends or family come to visit (or if I just want an amazing meal). Their menu is truly impressive. It has become hard to choose a favorite dish because I have truly enjoyed everything I have tried so far. The service is really out of this world awesome. Their menu has something for everyone so you really can't go wrong if you are trying to impress someone and make them happy. Matchstick is really special!!!“
“Love this place! Great variety of drinks and food! Love the tap selection, Minnesota Dry Rub wings, Turkey Burger (or that you can create whatever kind of burger you like), friendly staff, and fun atmosphere. This is a great spot to go for a night with your friends, family, or date - it really has something for everyone.“
“Stillwater has somehow kept this place a secret from Wisconsin people. Or maybe it's the wonderful new-ish bridge diverting traffic from historic downtown that made us miss it..... Regardless Wow! If you haven't you have to, if You've heard, then you know, and if you don't wanna know then you just plained missed out, on the second ? most stunning experience I've ever had at a restaurant. Don't treat this place as a bar restaurant it's not even in the same breath. Long winded I apologize, for starters The lovely waitress offers us warm sugar donuts just as a treat. Spectacular idea. Then we indulged into this heavenly plate of Parmesan fries. I could have just had those and been happy. I had the capper burger. Perfectly cooked wonderfully done personally I'd 86 the ciabata bun for a pretzel bun or traditional bun but it didn't downgrade it at all. my wife had the carbonara... that may have edged out The Post American Eatery .. maybe. It was bursting with flavor absolutely a masterpiece. We ended with some delightful key lime pie. Perfect service perfect food perfect atmosphere. All at 4:00 on a Monday. Standards set high bar none. Mic drop Mad capper. Well done Chef well done all. I'll be back and this time I'll charge my phone one more time Chef well down ?“
“Went in thinking of a typical late night bar menu.If bars had a separate class rating for the late night menus and creativity- this would be the place.Exceeded expectations completely, well done. The cheese curds and steak bites both had a really unique (and delicious) touch. The bloody Mary mix is also next level.They also have a variety of top shelf whiskeys, nothing like a Suntory Hibiki, but they have a good selection.“

“We had a great experience at Ziggy’s today! Being from out of town, we stopped in for a quick drink and some cheese curds and we weren’t disappointed. The bartender (and possibly manager/owner?), Steve, took great care of us and showed real midwestern hospitality. Do yourself a favor and try the cheese curds with blackberry ketchup—they are divine!“
“This is my favorite neighborhood bar! I've been going to this bar for the last 25 years. I meet 3 old friends and we caught up on each other. In this bar you don't need to talk loud over the music. In this bar you don't have to worry about having trouble with anyone. In this bar you're getting good beer in a frosty mug. The Meister Burger is the absolute bomb!“
“It's a very open bar and they have some TV's to watch sports. They had a band playing the night I was there and it's nice that they have bands. There is room to dance if a band is playing. The food was good, comparable to most bar food. It's wheelchair accessible. They had a cover charge when the band played. Definitely a fun place!“
“I wanted to get ham and potatoes and gravy to go today for Easter. I called ahead and the chef said he would have it all ready. I was on my way to the airport to pick someone up and stopped into Post to pick up. Not only did someone go around the buffet and fill a to go container for me but while they were waiting for their computer to restart, the chef came out and said there was no charge!!! I’ve always loved this place and their wonderful food and service but this was just amazingly sweet and so appreciated!! Thank you and Happy Easter! It was delicious. Terri O“
“Finally made it across the river to Nova today. My visit left me in the state of "how many times were you told to get here... & kept saying...mehh... I will? Well today did not disappoint! I loved the small brunch cocktail menu, not overwhelming and some great options, the bloody with dill pickle ice was very tempting! I opted for the Knob Creek Colab Sour, it was delicious & not too sweet so I sucked it down in two sips! It paired perfectly w hanging out w buddies on the patio! I like that he patio had options of small square tables, round tables and picnic tables w umbrellas! There's a small parking lot, that if it's full you can easily park along the Coulee curb. Boomin Barbecue has residency and w the Libations for Everyone podcast recording today I opted for the Knob Creek burger, "Smoked & Seared Burger, American Cheese, Smoked Pork Belly, Bourbon Braised Onions, Pickles, Knob Creek Aioli on a Sesame Potato Bun". I'm sorry, correction: the DELICIOUS Knob Creek burger!!! The bar was comfortable and spacious, read: you weren't touching legs w the chair next to you. You can see the two bathrooms from the bar, they're not tucked away in some corner. I like that there is a garage door open to the spacious patio. I was able to have a few words w the friendly owner. I may have drug my feet to have my inaugural visit, but I am positive there will be no delay on my next visit. Thanks Nova for such a fun, comfortable and delicious afternoon, cheers!“
“No other wing place will EVER compare to getting wings from here. I've been eating here since I graduated high-school back in 2018 and I can't say I've found any other place that can compare. I've been loyal to this place since then and I plan to remain loyal to this place for as long as they're around.“
“This place is amazing! Do you know how hard it is to find a place that not only has an extensive tap list with great beer representing all the major styles, but also really good food? This place has both is and is truly a gem. It is must visit for both great beer and great food, plus the service was amazing. My beer never went dry once before the waitress was asking if we needed another. That is how it should be done! Spent over 5 hours here and it was time well spent. The Reaper wings were a perfect blend of flavor, spice, and sweetness. If you enjoy various styles of beer and great food this place is highly recommended!“
“The food is good. The portions are for hungry people. Servers are pleasant, but sometimes too busy. The ambiance is a bit busy and therefore noisy, but we'll always go back again. We've only been there for breakfast.Mama Bear Omelette and Papa Bear Omelet are my favorites. Mark C.“
“Well managed, serviced and staffed. Lots of seating in 3 rooms, 2 bars. Excellent Daily food and beverage specials. Live music. Breakfast. Irish ☘️ specialties. Fantastic corned beef and cabbage platter for Saint Patrick’s Day Weekend. Woman owed, staff and managed.“
“First time here and it was a pretty good experience. I appreciate how the restaurant offers reservations... just makes it so much easier for everyone. Unfortunately, I did not see any staff at the hostess stand when I arrived however, my party was already seated. I've heard nothing but fantastic things about the all you can eat fish fry here, so that's what actually brought me here. Fantastic! Fish was hot, crispy, and not greasy; also served with tartar sauce. You also get a generous amount of fries which were great... I love a good zesty fry. Coleslaw was tasty as well. I had to get the mini donuts for dessert and those were delicious. Tasty, hot, and perfectly sugared. There were a few things I'd like to try on the menu... Buffalo chicken wontons, cheese curds, and the burger. I'll have to come back next time I'm in the area. I'd say our waitress wasn't very attentive and not too friendly.... Just kinda felt like she didn't want to be there. However, the food made up for it. Restaurant is large, well lit, and clean.“
“Even though I put 5 ? for service - which I feel the waitress deserved - the restaurant needs to hire more than 1 waitress for such a large room - she was over tasked - even a buser to clear and set tables. I offered to wipe and clear ours - was told -"no need to wait." Could understand, but not also.“
“Have the bull bite appetizer it was amazing. I had the Prime rib med rare. It was Perfectly cooked. The green beans were yummy. My husband had the 5 piece fish fry. He said it was very good. It was busy. We made reservations. Celebrated a friend's birthday thier chocolate cake came with sparklers and a cow bell. Fun and delicious. So good!“
“Everything once we sat down was great. Miranda was our server and she was so sweet and did a great job!!Love the online waitlist, but we came from work so we still waited 45 min. Only complaint is to please get some chairs in the entry for people waiting to sit down. I stand on my feet all day for work and to stand for 45 min more was painful. Benches, something. It would make the entry less chaotic too. It would be more obvious when new people walked in.You could even create a waiting area by one of those big 6 person tables.Need to have hostess’s call names louder.Offer those waiting water, or take a drink order. give kids something to do.Other than that, everything was great.“
“This restaurant is top notch! From the minute you walk in to the minute you leave you'll experience first class service, friendly smiles, and impeccable food. Apps included Reuben truffles and pot stickers. Both were ok. I had the braised beef with vegetable of the day, linguine and added a scallop. Beef was fork tender and scallop was to die for! Vegetable of the day was your average mixed veg and linguine was so-so; butter cheese sauce was broken and sort of gritty. Another party member had jumbo shrimp with red potatoes and upgraded to grilled asparagus. They were the biggest jumbo shrimp I've ever seen. Dish was given rave reviews. Last guest had the special of the night: blackened halibut with mixed veg and linguine. Halibut was perfectly cooked and very tasty. Dessert included their signature torte and white cake layered with strawberries and cream. Torte was fabulous. Unfortunately the cake was less than sub-par. Overall, this place is a hidden gem in downtown Lake Elmo. Highly recommend. Atmosphere is elegant and classy.“
