“Everything here is always top notch no matter the occasion. The food, drinks and service really can't be beat. I'm always amazed at the level of service we get, no other restaurant comes close. The servers are friendly and knowledgeable about everything on the menu. I will be back!“
“This is one of my favorite brunch spots in the Twin Cities! All of the dishes on their menu are so delicious and well-balanced. I especially love their teasers -- each small bite is packed with flavor and is a delight to the taste buds. I definitely recommend trying the full flight of teasers as an appetizer, it's such a tasty and fun experience. Their cocktails are great too, and in particular I love their Bloody Mary: they garnish it with pickles and a cheese stick, which I think is awesome!Not only is their food delicious, but the atmosphere is excellent as well. Great decor and overall vibe, I really like the assortment of art on the walls, and the cool mirrors behind the bar. Plus their staff is great too---friendly, attentive, and able to help with recommendations if you're having a hard time choosing. I highly recommend checking out Tongue in Cheek for brunch, it is a must whenever I'm in the area! I hope to try them for dinner soon as well, I'm sure they'll be great at any meal. (-:“
“Food, Service, Atmosphere, all 5-star! If you are looking for a high-end, classy dinner place, this is it!Valet available for $12 (enter behind building) or there is free parking across Grand in the St Paul Opticians parking lot (only available after 5:30pm/check the signs).“
“Wow! What a great find!! We were in the area to get a vehicle serviced but needed food. The menu looked good so we decided to give it a shot. We tried the gyro, the Nashville chicken sandwich and the Sriracha tots. Everything was amazing!! Good sized servings and the flavors did not disappoint. We wish there was a location closer to us. Sooo good!“
“One of the best restaurants in the state, especially their thin crust pizza! They have impeccable ingredients, consistent quality, and a fair price!I miss dining in, the ambiance is cheery and comforting. Maybe they'll open dining in again?Cheers!“
“First time going to an official vegan place!Went with a large group and everyone enjoyed their food. The crunch wrap got a lot of praise, as well as their coffee shakes.Animal fries were a hit.Vegetarian options: Its all vegan food so great for vegetarians too.“
“Wow. What a great experience. Our server Priscilla was amazing. She turned around what could have been a disappointing evening due to a longer than normal wait for our food by offering incredible service which is increasingly rare. The creme brulee was the life-changing. So good.“
“There was some kind of mix-up with our order and the staff handled it in the most incredibly considerate way. Without even needing to ask, we were both given full refunds for our meals (which were delicious) and the workers were so kind, warm, and welcoming. Great food and energy, A++ customer service, the only minor “complaint” I have was that the music was a tiny bit too loud- but really not that big of a deal.“
“We love skinner’s! The food is always excellent and we always love supporting locally owned businesses. Lately it has been incredibly difficult to get a table and even pick up orders are taking an hour which makes it difficult with kids (this is placing orders prior to 5pm so even on weekends an hour wait for takeout at that time is excessive and I spent 10 years as a server at popular pizza restaurant in Duluth and understand rush times). Again love supporting local businesses but skinner’s seems to be thriving beyond their space and we will be looking to spread our business around, while still ordering from skinner’s from time to time.“
“Long term fan of Colossal Cafe. Great place for breakfast or lunch whether dining in or picking up. Casual atmosphere with friendly employees. My favorites are the flappers, BLT, and colossal cinnamon roll.Kid-friendliness: Great kids menu and casual atmosphere.“
“One of my go-to places but I'm dropping a star because the last several times I've gone the kitchen has closed early because they're slow despite there being multiple patrons in the resturant still (not just the bar) so I've been having to call to make sure the kitchen is open still prior to going and even then they can't guarantee it will still be open by the time I get there which is a little frustrating. Otherwise great atmosphere, food, and drinks.“
“Their BLT is one of my faves! Gender neutral, accessible restrooms with a ramp on the side of the buildingDietary restrictions: Gluten free optionsParking: Small parking lot, free street parking available on side streetsWheelchair accessibility: Ramp on side of building, single stall accessible restrooms“
“We went to Joan’s with our dining group, Haute Plates, and left there not only fully sated, but euphoric. From the astounding service (Dan) to the overseeing by Joan herself, and all the prep by Jen for our group, we were already blown away. Then the food arrived. Each bite sent us into reverie. Are they magicians??Dietary restrictions: I cannot do butter. They were beyond accommodating!“
“When you walk in it feels welcoming like home that’s why it’s called karibu that means welcome in Swahili it’s so authentic and it’s like a mini Africa it brings memories from home but other than that the food is simply so delightful and authentic my experience was a 10/10 and I recommend the Philly the best what are you doing sitting at home go eat at this fully halal restaurant!“
“I had an awesome time. The cook is really a chef. The waitresses will definitely play your type of music. They're not racist. It's a vibe.Parking: Park across the street to dine in and sit at the bar. Make sure you try the salmon, mashed potatoes, and Brussel sprouts! I came back for the steak, veggies (carrots, etc) with fries. The chef is a breathe of fresh air. He's not racist at all. Please visit no matter what race you are. They are loveable people.. and yes im a black lady.. love is in the atmosphere. Love over color.. I'm going every week!! Yes I'm single and they told me to come back anytime ?. A great restaurant!!! It's scary being from Mississippi but it was all love. My favorite restaurant..“
“I had to try it, and mean most places do not offer donuts with a meal -- chicken sandwiches or burgers. I ordered The PAT (a steak burger) with fries and a shake. Pretty good. You can order and pay from the counter or via your phone. Atmosphere is nothing special. I guess the only problem I had is the cost. $25 for a burger, fries and simple shake seems high, but maybe that's just the way things are these days.“
“Wasn't as impressed with a few things. $240 tab. The potatoes were the off-season puree with lump starch. Temperature was spot on. ? flavors were not for me. CHEF was doing his job, not impressed. However, what really peterbed me was the front desk manager. My client was of the elder, and the bathroom light would not come on. She asked to see, and the lady said, "It's been that way, (rudly), and to figure her way around it." She came out tripped, trying to find her way to the stall. This is a story I would not make up. Moreover, she was my client. I took to dinner over a 100k contract. Get your act together. Or don't charge that kind of price. Seriously.“
“Fresh and flavorful ingredients used to make mostly Ecuadorian dishes mixed with others. Try the hornado (roasted pork), which comes with a fresh tomato/onion marinated salad, cheesy potato cakes, and hominy. You won’t be disappointed! The service is great and they don’t use their drink sales as a huge profit center like many other restaurants do.“
“Hidden neighborhood gem! I only rated it a four because parking is difficult. The food is great and the staff is welcoming, friendly, and helpful. Prices are fair and portions are generous.Deciding what to order was difficult. So many great choices.My boyfriend chose the biscuits and gravy (his usual for breakfast) and said it was the best he’s had. The sausage had a little bite (spicy) but it was perfect.I opted for blueberry pancakes, which were delicious! The three pancakes were bigger than the dinner plate—I had leftovers!We will definitely return.“
“The food and fun atmosphere is wonderful. Tom Reid is a stand-up fixture here too! You will not be disappointed by the drink choices and the food is great.Kid-friendliness: Our hockey kids enjoyed all of the memorabilia and food.Wheelchair accessibility: All one level and bathrooms.“
“Great place, good food, weird vibe! The waitress or cook was off. We ordered an appetizer. Our friends ordered a different appetizer after us. Their appetizer arrived. We asked about ours. She told us it will be coming. Our food arrived and we asked again about the appetizer. She seemed confused. The appetizer never arrived and when she brought the bill she said something about never getting the appetizer. The whole exchange was weird. They should also take salads off the menu. That was not available when we were there either.“
“The only downside is that they're closing in June! Always delicious food and great service. Will be sad to see them close.Parking: There is a parking lot behind the restaurant access through the alley. Some spots are not available until the hardware store. Next door closes after 6:00 p.m.“
“Great Minnesota classic dive bar with excellent vibes, chill but attentive service, music was just the right volume and cool tunes to boot. We all got burgers with cheese and fries, buffalo wings to share, a pitcher of beer. Beer was cold. Burgers were tasty. Salty, messy, and great pickles. I thought the meat was a little dry though and the price point (after adding cheese and fries) is little high but finding a burger with cheese and fries for less than $15 is hard these days! The fries were incredible. The wings were unexpected. The sauce a touch sweet, maybe a little citrusy? I really liked it. The sauce was piled high with fresh blue cheese and was creamy and herbaceous. I'll be back again for sure. Gotta give that bucket of chicken a try.Vegetarian options: Veggie patty made in house to swap in for any burger. Also a mushroom melt, deviled eggs, and nachos.Dietary restrictions: Plenty of gluten free options or swapsKid-friendliness: Very family friendly. Both in vibe and meal options.“
“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!“
“Absolutely wonderful place to go for a delicious, old school diner type meal. Went there right around 11 AM on a Saturday, and just missed their Brunch rush. Ambience and atmosphere were comfortable and lent to a more enjoyable dining experience. Not entirely sure, but it looks as though they may have remodeled recently. Place looks great inside. Food was served hot and tasted incredible. Portions were VERY generous, bordering on family sized for a single entree. I tried the Country Fried Steak and my wife tried their Rich's Omelet. Both of us left feeling very full and very satisfied overall. Best part: Pricing. Very large portions, small price tag attached in comparison. About $20 a person for the meal and beverage combined. Wife had half an omelet still to bring home when all was said and done. First visit was today and I couldn't have been more pleased with the experience. Can't wait to come back soon and take on one of their GIANT pancakes. ? Highly recommend!!“
“We went for dinner with friends and loved the view, atmosphere, and had great service. The drinks for most of us were also excellent. However we all felt that the food and presentation was a three star. So take that into account if you are reading this.I know they are going for the diner/dinette vibe but the shrimp cakes in a cardboard box isn't ideal. The French fries also were good but look like something you would get next door at CHS Field.I had the duck pasta with ricotta cheese and it was a major letdown for me. I should have ordered the burrito. However the menu isn't that large so your options are limited. The pork belly was tasty but had way too much spicy sauce all over it.Will I go back? Honestly it is unlikely. I hope they can improve the food and expand the menu because the location is beautiful and historic. And our server was prompt and took great care of us.“
“Im not a huge fan of chains, but for the Howe (and its sister restaurant, Stanley's) I'll make an exception. First, the bar is where it's at. Belly up for brunch and chat with Sam, your friendly neighborhood bartender. They've recently updated the brunch menu and have nailed everything! Im loving the Aerpa Benedict with sausage. Also, the changes to the sammies where you can build your own is perfect. Side note: you make think you want two, but you don't. You'll be splitting in two if you do. Finally, there new cheeses hash browns blow the old ones out of the water. Oh also, enjoy that all with a Grey Goose Greyhound or the Dragon Mary and that's how you start out a Saturday or Sunday morning.“
“I've been here a handful of times for their coursed menu and most recently the offerings were delicious. From the parsnip soup to the fried gnocchi, and then the black cod which had the crispiest skin I've ever tasted on a fish combined with melt in your mouth tenderness underneath. Still thinking about how they were able to achieve that.Basically, do their coursed meal and come hungry and you will not be disappointed.“
“I tried the chicken wing appetizer. They were cooked well but they needed more salt. I recommend that they brine them before they season them and fry them. Even if I added salt, it just didn't taste the same as if they had been salted previously. The chipotle ranch was lackluster. I had the breakfast melt and really enjoyed the toast and how is all put together. The hash browns were unsalted so you had to season those to your liking. I wonder if next time I can have them season them while they're frying them.“
“This salad was so delicious it inspired me to learn how to make it myself. I don't have a good approximation yet, but I am optimistic. Server was very friendly and good came out fast. I appreciated that she proactively offered to add a protein to the meal (I chose crispy chicken - excellent!) Docking some star power of the rating because it took too long to get the bill for an airport restaurant.Can't speak much for ambiance. It was so busy I sat at a "bar" type counter, so my view was people coming through security. Though, if I had been waiting for a travelling companion, that would be a good thing.“
“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.“
“Stopped by without realizing they were a full house and busy but they were very respectful, communicative, and professional with everyone. I placed an order online one time and they were out and they were very professional about it by contacting me and making sure I know and so I can substitute it. You can't go wrong with what you ordered here.“
“A group of 30 of us came in for brunch on Saint Patrick's Day (we did have reservations), and even though they were ridiculously busy, we found easy parking and were greeted with friendly smiles from the energetic staff. They patiently took our orders and didn't even flinch when we needed them separated. Every staff member was great! Our food came out promptly and tasted delicious, and we all left happy with full bellies, ready for the day. It's rare to find such genuine, good places nowadays, but this one of them for sure!“
“I enjoy the atmosphere whenever I visit. The waitresses are always so friendly. I was with a team of people (my job met there) last night (4/1/24), we had to flag a waitress down to take our order for food and drinks outside of the many appetizers my boss ordered. That's not usually the case though. Once someone came, she was wonderful. I don't come to this establishment too often anymore due to me no longer working in the area, but whenever it's an option, I am always a fan. The broasted chicken and au gratin potato are the absolute best. Thank me later.“
“went for a mid-afternoon 'breakfast' with 6 other buds. they have a reasonably priced, good portion, over 55 menu with a nice variety. our server was fabulous, the food was excellent and on mondays . . . there is free pie with your meal. french silk is the best.“
“I enjoyed my dining experience here. There was an approximately 10 minute wait to be seated. We sat at the bar. I liked the seats because we could see the food coming out of the kitchen and the hustle and bustle of the wait staff right in front of us. My order was correct and the food was hot and tasted great. The pancakes are HUGE! Though I do not eat gluten, my date said his pancakes had a lot of blueberries and the taste was great! I gave 4 stars for atmosphere because it was noisy and music was playing overhead. If you are looking for a quiet place, this is not it. The staff was attentive and kind. I highly recommend this restaurant ?“
“First time here. OMG the food was delicious. The green beans were delicous!! I ordered the Coconut Shrimp. It was awesome. They had a favorite drink my husband enjoys the "Grasshopper". My husband and I are coming back to try other menu items.“
“So kind of an off story but stick with me, came here for my first outing 3 weeks postpartum with the fam and newborn…. Absolutely treated so special by the staff. Like superb. The food, as always…. Amazing. the customer service—— beyond exceptional!!! Thanks for making this mamma feel extra special on her day out.“
“Cannot say enough good things about our experience at Zambonis on 7th!! Stopped in Friday and camped out and ate and loved the entire experience! We attempted to give wild bills our business Saturday night, and after awful service we left and returned to zambonis! The food, drinks, and atmosphere are everything you would want from a local bar/restaurant! Ps...ask for Gus! He is hilarious!“
“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.“
“Noisy Saturday night crowd. Sports on tvs. Beer flowing, lots of laughter. The wait staff is all young, which is nice. Loved the Up North atmosphere. Fish, skis, and sports jerseys on the walls.Food and drinks were very good?! A great place to visit on an evening when you are hungry and thirst. Will be back!!“
“The food was decent, but not spectacular. The service was good. The value was tough at $250 for three kids ordering off of the kids menu and two adults ordering only one appetizer each with two glasses of wine. Pazzaluna was a much better value with the same atmosphere and “
“I love Turf Club. This is a classic music venue with great service. I have been there a few times now and have never had a bad experience. The stage is elevated a bit so even if you're in the back, you can see the performance. This place isn't huge, so you get a very intimate setting. Great options at the bar for drinks and they have food, even though I haven't tried anything yet. Looks good though! I could not believe the service we got the last time we were there. We had a table and our server was so on top of everything. Never had to wait long for a drink refill. He was so nice and funny. Really added to the whole experience! I always keep an eye out for events at Turf Club because I'll take any excuse to visit here!“
“Our server Aiden was awesome. Another server put together an ice pack for my daughter who was feeling pain from her braces. They really took care of us!Updated April 2024:Still good, we had Easter Sunday Brunch with a bunch of teenagers. The server handled that well!“
“Leah was on the case with water and menus when we sat. Our server Melissa was attentive, fun and professional. I had the bleu smash burger thing. Very tasty. I've not seen their cut of fries before, a kind of shaving technique, really flavorful. The entertainment was the best part. Alex Gelking performed a cool mix of songs and styles. He played 'Fearless' for god's sake. Good evening all around. 5 stars.“
“We came here after the St. Patrick's Day parade and were able to get seats after about a 45 minute wait. Given the circumstances this felt very reasonable, and we were well taken care of once we were putting in orders, etc. The table got a mix of beverages and almost everyone got the Parlour Burger. Everything tasted great and our server was super helpful and efficient. Overall, I can't ask for much better. 5 stars from me!“
“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!“
“This was a perfect stop after marching in the St Patricks Parade in St Paul. The food was delicious our server was excellent. The vibe was very chill and that is what we were looking for. We will definitely be back. Oh and the Irish Cheesecake was a treat with a twist.?☘️“
“I ordered my food on DoorDash and when I arrived to pick it up there was a woman helping what looked to be a man with obvious mental issues. She was getting him a coffee. She was so kind and patient with him and the amount of care with him was amazing. When done he left and she apologized for my wait and said sometimes you just deserve a lil treat. She looked like she was ready to cry. She was such a seeet woman!!“
“The Little Canada Culver's is one of the better Culver's locations that I have been to. Every time I have come here it has always been clean and the service is always friendly. Food does take a little while to make but I have never had issues with overall quality.“
