“I recently had the pleasure of being served by Jasmine and Donna at Machine Shed- Lake Elmo the last 2 mornings. From the moment we arrived, they greeted us with a warm smile and genuine enthusiasm.
Throughout the meal, their attentiveness was remarkable. They anticipated our needs, refilling drinks and checking in at just the right moments, all while balancing other tables with ease. The knowledge of the menu was impressive; they offered excellent recommendations and made sure we had everything we needed for a great dining experience.
What stood out most was their friendly demeanor—which made us feel like valued guests rather than just another table. Their professionalism and positive energy truly enhanced our meal.
Overall, our visit memorable, and I can’t wait to return to Machine Shed for another fantastic experience!“

“Lisa G., Janae was our waitress, too. We were the “3-J’s”: Joe, Junna, and Janae. Janae was swift, attentive, beautiful, and cheerful. She was always right there to refill my water glass. I wonder if she ran track in high school; she was fast!“

“Cool newer diner in downtown Stillwater! I love diners and this place met all of my expectations. Food was amazing and the music was on point. I got the cheeseburger and fries which I believe are made in house. I highly recommend it! My husband has the buffalo chicken cheesesteak with tots and had no complaints! We also shared the cheese curds for an app and they were outstanding! Love that they also have a full bar and local bear on tap!“

“My girlfriend and I recently checked out Post American Eatery for the first time and had an awesome experience! The atmosphere was really cool and relaxed, and the staff was incredibly friendly. My girlfriend ordered the Beef Ragu and loved it! The meat was super tender, and the sauce was just right. I went for the Prime Rib special, and it was delicious – cooked perfectly and packed with flavor. Our server was great, too – really helpful and laid-back. We're definitely looking forward to coming back and trying more dishes. If you're looking for a place with great food, a cool vibe, and excellent service, I'd highly recommend giving Post American Eatery a try. We had a fantastic time and can't wait to go back!“

“I've had this place in my want to go list forever. I live quite close, and I'm mad at myself for wasting the last few years not coming here. I had the special breakfast burrito. For the love of all that's breakfast, make it permanent. It was one of the best I've ever had.“

“As always, excellent service. Love sitting at the bar and watching the kitchen staff. Garlic wings are great as is the fried fish. Love the burgers too. And the Nashville Hot Cauliflower is so good. Never seen anything like it anywhere else.
One request, if you haven’t already done it. The Impossible Burger used to come on a vegan bun and then didn’t. Any chance you can make that happen again?“
“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.“

“Excellent Restaurant. You will enjoy dinning outside the Restaurant during summer mild sunshine. Food is great and fair price.“
“We recently hosted a client appreciation night in the VIP room at PINZ, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Melody, our party planner, was incredible—prompt, detail-oriented, and always ready with helpful suggestions on party size and setup options. On the night of the event, Nate, our on-site manager, went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly, even providing those little extras like name tags and extension cords that made a big difference. The service was truly top-notch. If you're planning an event, we highly recommend PINZ! Be sure to ask for Nate and Melody!“

“I’ve been to this restaurant 3 times, and it’s been great every time.
Food - Me and my friends that go here have gotten a Hot Honey pizza every time we go, along with some appetizers. None of the things we order disappoint. We usually get a large pizza and save some leftovers, and they heat up great.
Service - Great service, especially when compared to some other sit down restaurants. Short wait times, food is always fresh, and staff is always friendly. They also granted us a special request when we asked for an XL pizza while we were there (XL is usually only an online option)
Atmosphere - Plenty of seating and many booths, which I appreciate. Only con is that it can be noisy when seated next to the bar, but that’s totally fine and to be expected.
Great place for group dining, they do serve large portions here.
Parking: Never have had any issues with parking.“

“Butter burgers all the way!! I also can not go to culvers without ordering a turtle sundae as they definitely don't skimp on the hot Fudge, caramel, OR pecans!! I love their cheese curds too... Love that they give back to local schools too. Culvers participated regularly at my sons elementary school for fundraising. Thank you so much!“

“When my mom brought me to the Freight House I was pleasantly surprised! With the great view and delicious food, this is an amazing place to eat.
The Freight House has a wonderful variety of food to eat! They offer street tacos,mushroom swiss burgers, walleye sandwiches, chicken chop salads, and more. You can get a giant pretzel for an appetizer, you can also get cheese curds, pulled chicken nachos, and artichoke dip! The Freight House also has a wide selection of drinks, they have lemonades, slushies, and drinks inside of pineapples!
My absolute favorite thing to get at the Freight House is the walleye sandwich! The walleye is cooked perfectly, and it tastes so fresh. Their homemade tartar sauce brings the perfect amount of tanginess to my dish. The long warm bun is soft, and doesn’t fall apart with every bite. They added a lemon on the side, and I chose to squeeze it over my sandwich, and my lemonade. The lemon brings the sandwich to a whole new level of tastyness! The walleye is always cooked to perfection,you can taste freshness in all of the ingredients, The freight really does have the best walleye sandwich!
The Freight House’s history dates back to the 1800s. It all started when Stillwater became a trade center for miners, trappers, and people who build railroads. Eventually, people decided that Stillwater needed a freight depot. So the people started to build the depot. It had two foot thick limestone walls, 30 foot tall exterior walls, and flooring was put in place. Finally, the strong trusses were installed, along with a solid slate roof. The construction was finally finished in 1883. The depot had a telephone office, and received about 75 railcars each day. After a few years of that Curtis feed, and coal farm service operated at the “freight House.” In 1970 the agency shut down, and the building was sold. Then, in 1979 the historical significance of the building was recognized, and it became the first building to be put on the national registry of historic places. It still stands today as the original building, as the freight House restaurant!
What I love about The Freight House is the diversity of the menu, the amazing tasting food,the rich history of the building, and the outdoor seating. The atmosphere of the building Is awesome. I really enjoy the outdoor seating, because I get to stare out at the St. Croix River. All of the workers are really kind, and the chefs bring out the food fast. I think that the taste, the freshness, atmosphere,the staff, and the rich history make the Freight House one of the best restaurants.“

“The current music is being played too loud - a track of country covers, one of which was commenting on socialism and communism which we found inappropriate in a public restaurant dining room. It couldn’t be ignored because it was so loud. So we chose not to hang around for ice cream.“

“The first time we dined there here was 13 years ago. Finally returned on a weekend trip to Stillwater and it didn’t disappoint. All the dishes are well executed. The staff is knowledgeable. Hot tip. If you dine there you get 20% off in the wine shop.“

“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“
