50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants 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“

“the fried potatoes are soooooo yummy! Great burgers, great atmosphere! super friendly staff! we never been here before and I'm glad we stopped on our way through town. highly recommend!“

“The BEST place to buy ice cream. VERY generous portions. It’s delicious!!“

“Delicious, fresh, hand made pizza. We love patronizing this local establishment. We'll definitely be back!“

“Great coffee, great people. Get some Nitro brew!“

“If we are going out for sit down pizza this is our go to spot. We moved from AZ two years ago and this is hands down some of the best we have found since we have been here. You can’t go wrong with any pizza, the Brussels sprouts are unreal, and every flavor of wing is good. Always great vibes here, family friendly, and the staff is awesome!“

“We just had the most amazing cheesesteaks! If you want the real east coast south Philly cheesesteak....you must go here!“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of my favorite stops between showings! The coffee is consistently great, and the vibe makes it an easy recommendation for clients who ask about local spots. Businesses like this are a big part of what makes our community special.“

“Excellent pizza and cheesesteak sandwiches! Kids loved it as well! Food was ready quickly and staff was very friendly. My faves are the Spicy Tono, South Philly and Truffle Fries. Everything was delicious!“

“Swirl Wine Bar is an absolute gem. From the moment you walk in, the staff are truly delightful… welcoming, knowledgeable, and genuinely excited to help you have a great experience. The wine selection is fabulous, perfectly paired with delicious food that’s clearly crafted with care. And the handmade truffles? Simply amazing…rich, decadent, and completely unforgettable. Swirl is the kind of place that makes you want to linger and come back again and again. Highly recommend!“

“If you are looking for your typical long John’s or Bismarck’s this is not your place. Sticky buns, almond croissants, exceptional breads with all the wonderful smells of being at an onsite bakery is what you get here. Well worth the stop!“

“I love the Mediterranean wrap and gyros! They have excellent cocktails and our bartender/server (Aiden or Haiden?) was lots of fun!“

“My husband & I ate here for our Anniversary. His steak was perfectly done, & my mediterranean pasta was so good! Our waiter was great too!“

“We are by no means regulars, but my husband and I always stop when we make our way from the Twin Cities to Hudson - it’s a perfect date-night spot with pages of incredible cocktails. Tonight however, we stopped in as a family with our kiddos and parents, and were nervous as we weren’t sure how things would go with a toddler and a baby. The staff were all incredibly accommodating and kind to us and our kids, service was stellar as always, and at the end of our visit, our 2 year old was even gifted her first lucky rabbit’s foot! I’m guessing it was one of the owners who we chatted with and who made her week - but you’ve ensured lifetime guests and we will keep recommending your spot to everyone we know. Thank you!!!“

“10/10 excellent food and excellent people. Nice little spot to do a little shopping too :) great for a coffee on the go as well“

“Love the wide variety of cookies they offer. Everything is fresh and tastes delicious. Staff is always friendly. I appreciate that you can order ahead or just walk in. I also think it's helpful that they're open later into the evening to offer a fun evening dessert or goodies for a last minute get together. Really good things come in a pink box!“

“me and my mother stopped by after seeing a post on the local neighborhood watch group and tried some ice cream the service was very friendly and the prices are super reasonable they recommended the peanut butter and banana flavor so I tried that one and my mom tried strawberry 🍓 it was delicious! will definitely be back when in the mood for a ice cream treat 😁“

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

“Best coffee ever!!“

“I went here for the first time today. The service was amazing, the coffee and food was great, and they have a cute little merchandise area. I will definitely be going again!“

“Angie and staff took amazing care of us. We were "celebrating" our father/grandfather's passing and the experience was so amazing. always great food and it was even better with the amazing service. thank you Zes!“

“Why have we waited so long to come back here?! Food and service were impeccable. If you are craving some awesome Greek food and a cozy environment, Phil’s Tara Hideaway is the spot. We will be back very soon!“

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

“Stopped in on 1/29/26 evening. The server was very informative of what was on tap. Described them to make a choice. Tried a flight to have a sample of 4 different offerings.
Server was friendly and carried on a conversation- great asset to the team!! Fair price - friendly - great atmosphere. Worth a stop“

“We had a rehearsal dinner here yesterday and everyone we encountered with River Siren was amazing and helpful. Everyone! Thank you.“

“Had an absolutely amazing dinner at Manger. Everything was perfect. Roasted oysters are a must. Great service. Great wine list.“

“Great coffee shop at the botto of the Stillwater stairs. Had a great Americano and great interaction with the Made team.“

“Fabulous evening with live music and great food. Dominic (son of Brad) the best server we’ve had in our road trip across The USofA.“

“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!“

“Yummy blue berry scones and of course coffee!“

“It was good. One of my son's favorite spots in Stillwater. I can tell how good a Mexican restaurant is going to be by its chips and salsa. You can tell that Mi Paeblo used fresh oil to fry the chips and do not overcrowd the fry basket. You taste the chip, not the oil and they are cooked evenly. Good salt. Salsa doesn't seem overly spicy, but by the end of eating it you get the spice. Perfect! Chucky, but we'll blended. Just like my theory above, the food was prepared fresh and with care as well.“

“We had a Fantastic! time this weekend at the wine, cheese and chocolate tasting! Lots of fun treats to be had. We will be back... Thank you!“

“We got the alambre with 1/2 chicken and 1/2 al pastor and the pollo poblano and it was delicious! Service was excellent. We just moved here from Arizona and it’s been hard to find good Mexican food here, but this place hits the spot! We’ll definitely be back again ☺️👏🏽“

“The piano player on Saturday evenings is amazing!!!“

“Stopped by after going to a show at the Dugout because we wanted some vegetables and had such a pleasant experience! Our bartender Derek took great care of us and was extremely friendly and attentive. Appreciated the popcorn and the bruschetta salad special was delicious. The vibes at Wildwood are super cozy as well. Definitely worth popping in for a drink or a meal or a snack!“

“Great people and atmosphere. Clean place, fun history, cold beer, and cool staff. We'll be back.“

“very spacious and quick service“

“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.“

“There are very few restaurants that I really want eat at regularly, but Mississippi Pub is one of those. The consistency of the menu is part of that… I know that the wings will be crispy and hot. I know that the brunch items will be savory and plentiful. But the atmosphere is the other. This is NOT fast food! Come to enjoy a cocktail (or an excellent mocktail), the view of the river, and leisurely enjoy the experience. If you’re in a hurry, I’m sure there’s a fast food restaurant you can choose instead 😂“

“Delicious food great service! We will definitely be back!“

“This is one of the best cold stone ever the coworkers are always so nice and always bring a good conversation I like to recognize Alex and Lily who were so helpful helping me and my friend as we were new and dint know what to get thank you!“

“Trout Benedict was amazing. Farm fresh eggs with golden yolks. Trout patty crisp on the outside. Homemade Hollandaise. Perfection.“

“Absolutely Amazing Pure vegetarian eatery! All our guests were so impressed with the authenticity and topclass taste which felt like home cooked! Thanks to Radhika sriram for the scrumptious satisfying cuisines! Highly recommend this place!“

“Fabulous service, delicious food and great prices!!! I’m glad we found this place, we look forward to our next visit!“

“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!“

“The atmosphere was lovely! Dark inside, the scent of the bar was wonderful. It smelled of incense and a cologne type room spray. My boyfriend and I went for our three year anniversary. The drinks were very lovely, though they did take a while. It was our first time at a cocktail bar so we were patient with the fact that the kind of drinks we had would take a while + the other guests also ordering. Our last drink order was forgotten which was a bit annoying, but it happens and wasn't a deal breaker. We would definitely come back to try more of their delicious cocktails and enjoy the ambience!“

“Sweet Paris Restaurant in Woodbury, Minnesota. Spacious, luxurious and somewhat cozy space. Tom loves the food and drinks here. The flavors are sweet, full of Paris. This is a place to relax and enjoy cuisine that everyone cannot miss. Sweet Paris Creperie and Cafe 📍 265 Radio Dr K, Woodbury, MN 55125.“

“Please ensure you retain your receipt for a week or so, until your transaction clears from your bank. On 2/15, we dined and We paid with our debit card. We also provided a $20 cash tip to our waiter name Eve. We are perplexed as to how we were overcharged. The tipping section on our bill was crossed off by us. It does not make sense for us to be overcharged. We will be contacting you again to discuss this matter further. The amount on the receipt differs from the amount you charged us. There is a discrepancy of $30. Could you please clarify the reason for this overcharge?!! We've called multiple times and everytime, you guys said there were no management on duty. smfh!!“

“Great drinks Good Food & Service“

“Amazing food selections from Chilaquiles to Duck Enchiladas, but so many more new food options in addition to a wide array of Mezcal selections! Great staff, friendly service and fun dining vibe. Soon to be the best spot in town!“
