50 Best American Restaurants near Lino Lakes

“Excellent food, great prices and awesome service!“

“It's a Culver's!!! Not a lot more to say than that.

Want tacos? Go somewhere else.

Want gross burgers and cheap fries brought to you by a clown mascot? This ain't it!

Want good food, great ice cream (frozen custard), with a midwest feel? Well then, welcome to Culver's!!!“

“Hi thanks again so much so much so much“

“Great staff. Plenty of menu selections with weekly specials. We've become regulars. Going back tonight.“

“Good food, EXCELLENT service and the atmosphere is like fine dining but casual. If that makes sense. Although for 6 of us, I spent over $300! So, not your "let's go grab a bite" when ya don't know what to make for dinner, type of place. I'd definitely go again....in a couple months! ?“

“Culver’s has the best Butter Burger’s - North Atlantic Cod & famous Custard of the day! I have been going to the Vadnais Heights Culver’s for several years! The friendly staff is “Impeccable “ I always buy the Calendars & Gift Cards! Thank You Culver’s for supporting our Farmers! 5 Golden Stars! 😊“

“First time here. You order at the counter here, then food is brought out. The pancakes and sausage were fantastic! Nice little place to meet someone to catch up or stop to grab a coffee. Also have outdoor seating for the nicer days.“

“A absolute gem of a restaurant in White Bear Lake. In town visiting family & so enjoyed our first time here last night. Very cool & well designed with a great vibe, beautiful bar area where you can comfortably dine also. Which is aso the main diningroom with views of the kitchen & Chefs creations. Food was out of the park; 2 chicken entrees & the Walleye-and let's not forgot the delicious chocolate mousse dessert! Will always plan a dinner here we visit again.“

“The service was friendly and efficient for my take out order. Please note: On top of regular menu prices, they charge you an extra fee for packaging takeout even though Dining in requires dishes and waitress service... And maybe even to-go boxes. The takeout meal was over $40 for 2 people with no beverages.“

“Every time I visit the staff are great and the food is amazing! A must visit!“

“Great food, friendly staff and drink specials. prices are excellent.“

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

“I Actually Love The Atmosphere Of This Place! Great Music,People Having Fun And Singing Along And Everyone Is Just Having Fun ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Would Recommend“

“They absolutely have the best wings ever! I've also been happy with other foods and the service!“

“Nick was our waiter recently for a birthday celebration… he was exceptionally accommodating and made our evening! Food great as always.“

“We stop here every year when we go to Back to the 50’s. It’s become a yearly tradition ❤️ Amazing food and such a fun atmosphere!“

“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.“

“wonderful experience tonight. great walleye tacos and took great care of us and made my wife feel special on a day to celebrate. 🙏thank you! 5 Stars“

“I gave the food 5 stars but it's really 4 stars. That's my rating but most people that like their food will give 5 stars. To me 5 stars is THE BEST. Don't mistake, the food was fantastic. Got salty Calamari, General Tsos Chicken and Hot and Sour soup. We did take out, 3i miles away. The Calamari was OK but may have been better eating in. Calamari 3 stars, good. We would order it again. General Tsos chicken was very good. Not spicy but good. I will absolutely order again. We opted for fried rice instead of white rice. It was very good. 4 stars. The hot and Sour soup was fantastic. I was already full and had to finish it. It's as close to 5 stars as I can give. The ambiance is not why you would ever go here, so 3 stars. But that's OK! Service was prompt but not personable. No eye contact etc. Do I care? No. 4 stars.“

“We had a great time enjoying dinner and drinks tonight! Our server Steve was awesome. We were in stitches the whole time. Nicole was a hoot too! Good and drinks were good too! Would definitely recommend a visit here.“

“Chill vibes, especially with their outdoor dining. Tried the chicken & waffles w/ a spicy maple syrup and it was delicious — perfectly crispy chicken, fluffy waffles, and just the right balance of sweet and spicy. Fast friendly service, Definitely worth a visit!“

“Jimmy’s is always good. The staff is outstanding! Food is very good, great specials! Wild rice soup best I have tasted ever! Bingo two mornings and two nights very well run!“

“Food was SO good and portion was filling! Bar tender was so friendly and helpful - and really accommodating! The street tacos with the corn tortillas were among the best I’ve had. The server was polite and friendly too. I’m bummed I didn’t snap a photo, however — I’ll be back!“

“Terrific food plus excellent service!“

“I thought i would give this a try as I was in the area on a Friday night. The casino is small but offers quite a bit of card games for those who enjoy poker, black jack, pai gao and several others. When you first walk in, the bar area and restaurant greet you, I grabbed a seat at the bar and was quickly offered a water and menu. I ordered a club sandwich and fries($10), my sandwich arrived pretty quickly and was delicious. the club is large and filling, and the fries were tasty. If you are looking for a good value in the Forest Lake area, it's hard to pass up Trout Air Tavern but it does come with whole Casino vibe.“

“I work here and it's the best golf course in Minnesota in my opinion the course is very easy to follow the staff is exceptional, it's really clean, and the atmosphere is amazin. I recommend it to anyone who wants to become a member because it's a private course.“

“Sorry for the bad photo's, but the employees here are amazing 👏 Abby is a wonderful server and Raymond is an awesome manager! Today the two greeters saw a customer stuck in the parking lot and went outside to shovel and push them out! Almost made me tear up! Love this Applebee's and the employees!“

“We ordered 3 concrete mixers and 2 sundaes. After waiting about 15 minutes to receive our order, we checked in with the staff and they immediately let us know that they would bring it out right away. The manager also assured us that we would receive a coupon and could choose ice cream pints from the fridge near the ordering counter. They were very friendly and happy to make sure we had a positive experience. Will definitely be returning! Customer service done right!“

“Great food with great prices. A solid environment to enjoy a good meal. We go for Rotary meetings every month and they are very gracious to us.“

“Not an inexpensive fast food restaurant but their burgers are very good! They have prepacked pints of ice cream in many, many flavors. The ice cream is so rich and creamy....a must if you go!
The location is very clean and staff are friendly.“

“Great Customer Service! Friendly and professional. Food is always fresh! Love the assistant manager! I eat/order at Culver twice a week!“

“My son and I stopped in for dinner as I had a gift card to use. Our server Andrea was wonderful! We ordered our food and it arrived looking great! My son liked his salad a lot and my Rueben, while not traditional, was tasty. I was sadly less than impressed with the Maple Bacon Brussels I got with my sandwich and let Andrea know. She let her manager know right away and they both were SO kind and thanked me for letting them know my concerns. They offered us a piece of chocolate cake (which was super yummy!) to make up for the side not being so great. Amazing customer service! We will be back!“

“Wonderful combo of traditional fare and things you've probably never heard of. Friendly people and beautiful, tasty food.“

“My husband and I have been going to the blacksmith restaurant for over 40 years. The only item I have had is their chicken which is addicting. They sell more Broasted chicken than anyone else in Minnesota. All their food is great but it is their chicken for me. At least once a week I have to have it. They have a 12 piece to purchase and take out also….we have done that after eating there !!!!!!!“

“The Cubano was excellent, and the waffle fries and seasoned sour cream are better than other local establishments. I had to give props to the cooks. Most bar food is mediocre, but I was so impressed with their food. We had a great Sunday afternoon here chatting with regulars and the staff. Everyone was very friendly. We will be back!“

“Very nice atmosphere, good food and friendly service“

“Bill you and your team were amazing 👏 The food was absolutely 💯 delicious 😋“

“They serve super tasty, fresh sandwiches, salads and so much more! I love their Oriental salad and Zany Mullany sandwich combo. Open for breakfast too, Service is fast and prices are very reasonable. The staff is so fun -- I always come away happy that I stopped in!“

“Let me just start by saying:\nKeys Cafe has ruined biscuits & gravy for me — in the best possible way.\nBecause now nothing else compares. Nothing. I’ve peaked.\n\nThe biscuits?\nFluffy, warm, and so fresh you’d think someone’s grandma is in the back whispering prayers over the dough.\nThey come out steaming, soft in the center, with that perfect golden exterior that holds up to gravy like a damn champion. \n\nAnd the gravy… listen.\nI don’t know who’s in charge back there, but this was buttery, perfectly seasoned, full of actual sausage, and the ideal thickness — not that heavy, gluey kind that makes you rethink your order, and not watery either. Just… right. Goldilocks would weep.\n\nThe hash browns?\nCrispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and somehow not greasy at all.\nI don’t know how they pulled that off. Witchcraft? Voodoo? A deal with the breakfast gods? Don’t care. I respect it.\n\nOverall, it was the kind of breakfast that makes you stop mid-bite just to nod at your plate.“

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

“Gigantic servings! Delicious food!“

“Loved this place. Great food and service“

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

“Thay made right by me , my salad should have came with cashews on the side , but they put them in the salad i can't eat that way ,i brought my salad back up to the counter and they replaced it. Thank you

God bless you all ?“

“I love Culver's it is my favorite fast food restaurant always count on it to be delicious. Unfortunately this location has a real problem. I have ordered the Curbside To Go several times on the way up North with plenty of time for the food to be repaired before we get there and almost without fail we end up waiting around for 20 minutes and then have to walk inside and alert someone to prepare our order. I use the service at several other locations and don't have the same problem. It is really frustrating that the curbside option is offered but not executed. Also on the most recent visit they forgot our kids juice box which we discovered once we were back on the freeway.“

“I am Sue's sister and she is telling me you are listening to the same pod casters as we are. I wish we could meet. Exciting times! Keep the faith. Q=17! God is in control! Someday we will meet.“

“10/10 would recommend 😁 best sports bar around“

“Even short staffed, Everyone at RL Was freindly and wait staff , food was Exellent. 5 Stars“

“So many wonderful smells! I created some interesting smells that floated around the restaurant!“

“Absolutely delicious food! I can’t wait to go back“
