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!“

“Best coffee ever!!“

“We tried 3 different kinds and all were excellent. Can't wait to try again.“

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

“The other night we were headed to a friend‘s house and were in need of some dessert to bring along. My husband and I didn’t realize that Saint Croix Baking Company closed at 5 PM and it was already nearly 4:50 as we were making our way to the shop. I called and spoke with a woman named Olivia. She could not have been more helpful or delightful to speak with. She was more than happy to assist us with getting some desserts and said she would be around a little bit after close, wrapping things up at the shop and not to worry about arriving after 5 PM. She had our order boxed up and met us at the door when we arrived a few minutes after close. Good customer service is so hard to find these days! Olivia was not only friendly, she seemed genuinely excited to help us and wasn’t put out by our last-minute request whatsoever. Wonderful job, Olivia! Thank you so much for saving our night and helping us get some delicious desserts. Everything we ordered was incredible. Nice job on all accounts, St. Croix Baking Company.“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“Amazing coffee! Their white chocolate latte is my new favorite!“

“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!!!“

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

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

“Usually good experience unless its packed. It gets a little confusing then. The smaller cookies are better to me because they tend to be a little more on the done side. If you enjoy slightly under cooked cookies you'd like the bigger size. They are pricy though so I only go once in a while.“

“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 😁“

“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“

“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!“

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

“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“

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

“I loved it. I got the 3 tacos (asada y chorizo) with rice and beans and it was greattt! Coming from somebody who eats authentic food a lot the tacos were great especially compared to other Mexican restaurants. The restaurant is beautiful and I would come back again!“

“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!“

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

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

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

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

“very spacious and quick service“

“May 17th near 7pm ish. I was doing a door dash order for someone and a nice dude handling the order said they didn’t have the waffle cone bowl. My heart sank bc that day everything was going wrong with all the door dash orders I had. Long story but props to that guy for accommodating to the order and he offered me a small ice cream dish. He’s a real one and should keep him around/ raise.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“It has a great patio, great food (I had wings), excellent beers. We sat outside and the place was packed both inside and out. Staff was busy for sure.
When sitting at the bar and when not at the bar it is great but durring peak times (aka diner rush) it can slow down due to being super busy. So just remember that everyone is important and they will get to you. So have some good conversation lined up if you go durring peak time.“

“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 ☺️👏🏽“

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

“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 😂“

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

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

“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!“

“Excellent Restaurant. You will enjoy dinning outside the Restaurant during summer mild sunshine. Food is great and fair price.“

“My girlfriend Kayla and I ventured to The Alchemist for the first time this past Saturday and we were NOT disappointed. Innovative & delicious cocktails, awesome steampunk decor, great atmosphere, and Katie & the rest of the crew who are absolutely smashing it. I'm giving this place 5 stars only because I can't give it more. Go in, sit down, and let whoever is behind that bar whip you up something delicious. I highly recommend the Death By Gin, easily one of the best cocktails I have had in as long as I can remember. You will not be disappointed. Can't wait to come back!!“

“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.“

“Went on the hot air balloon ride last Friday with my mother in law. for a birthday present. Waited 3 years for the weather to coop. And it was well worth the wait! It was beautiful and peaceful. The guys did an awesome job and I would recommend it to anyone. Also had some hard apple cider before and it was very tasty!“
