New American Restaurants near Long Lake, MN

“We stopped in with 3 families including fours kids. The food was great, but the service was exceptional. We got seated right away, and there was no problem splitting the check, despite us sitting willy nilly. Everyone was happy with their food.“

“We decided to try this spot on a hungry whim and found the food to be delightful. The poblano corn was wonderful. The PB&Jay burger was a fun treat. The BBQ sauce on the ribs is sweeter than you expect so take caution if you order the St. Louis rib mac & cheese - but do note if you mix it all up the cheese mellows the sweetness. Our server, Dani, was an absolute delight. Often she would have our drink refills before we even realized we were low. So if you’re hungry and on a whim, stop on by.“

“Our server was there when we needed them, didn't come and talk to us with seemingly no reason.Food took about 30 minutes, on a decently busy night, so that was nice.The atmosphere I love, got window seats facing towards regional center road and nice view for a decently sized city. Didn't like the pop music, but that I'd what you get when you go to a restaurant in the city.I had the burger with no tomato, no secret sauce and avacado. Massive burger, came with fries and lettuce and pickles, had to put them on myself. Couldn't finish the whole thing but was AMAZING. Burger cooked well, no overdo on the sauce or anything like that. Came with what I think was cheddar, but don't wanna say for sure, good quality cheese though.Overall 14/15 because the atmosphere matters, but not that much when the food and service is just that good.Parking: Parking is good, lots of spaces. Handicap parking out front of the restaraunt.Kid-friendliness: They have good kid options for food, ans give coloring stuff to the kids that come.Wheelchair accessibility: There are large wheelchair restrooms along with there being no stairs in the restaurant to get anywhere, and handicapped parking out front.“

“We stopped by randomly tonight for dinner. The food was excellent - the kale salad is to die for, the ahi tuna bites tasted so fresh and of course the burger was amazing. My 6 year old loved his kids meal (friend chicken bites). We shared mini donuts as well, which was the perfect dessert!The service was also 10/10. Our waitress was truly a wonderful, super efficient and gave great suggestions! Super impressed overall!“

“My bestie and I needed some fuel after a day at the Canterbury Spring craft fair. We wanted to try somewhere new with variety. Nachos were on the mind. Stopped in around 5pm on Saturday. Parking lot and restaurant was packed. We arrived and were greeted right away. Asked if we had a reservation which we didn't, but were seated within 5 minutes. I was a little shocked as it's very rare to be seated that quickly with a reservation. Our waitress Emilee was so friendly and did a wonderful job. She brought our beverages right away. She checked in often as well. I ordered the smash burger and my bestie ordered the nachos and side of French fries with a side of garlic aioli sauce. Unfortunately, the French fries were not hot, so we asked for new ones. Smash burger was fantastic. Hot, juicy, and just yummy. My bestie said nachos and French fries (once the new ones came out) were good. Nacho portion was huge. Next time, ask for more meat and maybe not so much queso, but overall tasty. The dessert menu had both of our favorites- key lime pie and chocolate cake. Of course we had to order it, but we asked for it to go. Let me just tell you, I wish I would have ordered dessert to start. Chocolate cake was amazing (sorry, forgot to take a photo). So chocolatey and the frosting amount was perfect. Key lime pie was good too. It was like a whipped version which was tasty. During our visit the manager stopped over to ask how dinner was. You don't see that too often so that was nice. Restaurant was big. Seating is also available outside as well. I thought it was neat how there were umbrellas on the ceiling- unique. I'd like to come back and try the pizza and more chocolate cake.“

“First time there last night. Was told it was a 15-20 minute wait, no problem as I was waiting for my friend, it was FIVE minutes! Our server was nice & attentive. We enjoyed Happy Hour and had a fun night. Will definitely be back again!“

“Had dinner at Kona Grill - Minnetonka last night and was pleasantly surprised by their late hours, open till midnight! They even offer a late-night happy hour. The sushi was decent, akin to what you'd expect from a mall location, as it's situated in Ridgedale Center. The service was top-notch - our server was both friendly and attentive. I absolutely loved the atmosphere and the aquariums, adding a unique charm to the dining experience. A solid choice for a late evening out!“

“We were there on a Sunday night in early March 2024. Pretty quiet, just what we wanted for our anniversary. New York strip was one of the best steaks I've had along with the garlic mashed potatoes.My wife had the broiled walleye and was very pleased with it.Our server, Lydia, was awesome, took very good care of us!“

“This place went hard. Came here for an early dinner. Miller lite on tap. The burgers are probably 1/3 pounders and tasty. I asked for an extra patty and they were cool with that. Girlfriend had the Stacker in the rye and liked it too. VERY reasonably priced for what you are getting. We will absolutely be coming back. Also upgrade to the tots if you get a burger or sandwich.“

“One of best kept foodie secrets in the state of Minnesota! I can't say enough positive things about McGarry's Pub. The food is outstanding, the atmosphere is perfect (especially the back dinning area with the oversized booths and wooden floor), everything is made fresh from scratch and you can order most of the delicacies to take home (loafs of their delicious dark bread, containers of their made from scratch salad dressings, containers of their side dishes, etc). If you haven't tried McGarry's yet, don't even hesitate!“

“I love 318! I come here at least 2 times a week and it's always perfect. The best place to relax and enjoy breakfast, brunch, or lunch. The servers are all incredible and friendly and making sure you feel welcomed & are enjoying your meal. The food is yummy and always freshly made.“

“Nice restaurant with a cozy vibe. Went for Valentine’s Day and got a reservation a week prior with no problem. Food was good but came out warm vs fresh/hot. Not sure if that was because it was a busy night but was expecting more for the pre we paid. Would give them another shot in the future on a less busy night.“

“Amazing food. Sadly this fabulous restaurant faces the challenge of nearby construction that my be offsetting to then weak at heart. We found the food to be unique, delicious and making you want more. Friendly, team to provide that sought after dining experience. The flavor and atmosphere of the Caribbean right in Excelsior MN.??????“

“We love Duke's! We loved it before kids and we especially love it after kids. It is such a friend, family, and dog friendly place. The staff is always super polite and makes great recommendations + the patio in summer or winter (covered) is the best atmosphere for littles. You can be away from the inside crowdedness and there's usually puppies for entertainment! Their wings never disappoint - the dry rub is so good + all sauces. We like to get all dry rub and sauces on the side. Try the whisky glaze! The royale with cheese is a go to here for us and everyone on the kids menu is practical and easy to pick from.“

“Lake Room is our favorite date night spot. Worth the drive for us. Shoutout to the bartender, Demi, who always makes fantastic cocktails. The kitchen puts out great food too. All around a must-try restaurant that will entice you to come back again and again.“

“Went here for a quick bite after some cocktails. Packed on a sat night about 10pm ,bar and tables mostly full but we got served right away at a high top . Server was great,and typical American bar food but that's what we were looking for The Cajun dry rub chicken wings were pretty good and the boneless buffalo wings were okay too. Portion sizes we're bigger than I expected so that was a plus Overall I would come here again to check out some of their other grub“

“Layline is an exceptional restaurant. The food options are “creations” by the chef. This is high quality food with outstanding flavor, texture, and options. The management and servers were friendly and efficient. Cocktails are also creative and tasty. Outstanding place!“

“One of my favorite places in Maple Grove!! Get the hot toddy in the winter, it’s perfection. I haven’t ordered anything that I did not like. Absolutely love the veggie tacos, the nachos, the burgers, everything is absolutely delicious here - staff is very friendly. Lobster bisque is soooo good! Perfect with Caesar salad. They have the best pita bread. We love sitting at the bar. It’s wonderful ambiance! Cozy, homey, and happy :-)Vegetarian options: Veggie tacos. Veggie quesadillas. Veggie salad.Parking: Large parking lotKid-friendliness: Kid menuWheelchair accessibility: They have a ramp“

“I can’t say enough positive things about the catering at the Maple Grove location. I had ordered sloppy joes for my Labor Day weekend camping trip. When I went to cook the meat, I discovered that they had given me taco meat instead. Which was, of course, disappointing. I called them the next day to let them know, and they couldn’t have been more apologetic and accommodating. No excuses were made. They just asked how they can make it right. I told the catering manager that all I really wanted were the sloppy joes and he insisted that he provide a side of my choice;anything I wanted. They made it all available for me the very next day and added mac and cheese to my order. When I arrived, the manager greeted me and asked me if there was anything else I might need. Customer service!! That is so rare these days and goes a long way!! I will continue to go to Hy-Vee because of the way I was treated! And all of the food was delicious!! Highly recommend!“

“Had a client lunch here and enjoyed the place very much Menu had good options I had the squash salad and added salmon for the protein A bit expensive as I think the meal was $ 20 but didn't seem outrageous Staff was pleasant and attentive The outdoor space looked nice with little lights which I always enjoy Tucked into a strip mall and right off the highway so easy spot to get to stop in if you are in the area!“

“The Golden Nugget is just so consistent!!We caught the end of Happy Hour at 5 PM but got a drink at full price and a second one for $1. Solid ?The food is full of value. Burgers are above average. The fennel sausage flatbread was extraordinary!Our server was a Pro’s Pro! Read our table perfectly!What a fun dining experience!!“

“I have frequented Houlihan's for years. Bit sad the fried cheese hasn't been on the menu, but the bruschetta IS AMAZING, so that makes up for it! Annie, the bartender is great at her job, efficient, and so friendly. She gets to know her customers and remembers details from any conversation. She makes a customer feel like they are cared about and their business is appreciated. The same goes for Art. He always remembers our names and asks us how things are going. It like the "Cheers" of Chanhassen.“

“Great sports bar! I rated low for service just because everytime i go they always seem distracted. Last time, the hostess just kept looking over at a different table that they may have hosted I guess. I get the loaded grilled cheese. It has egg, ham, bacon and it is AMAZING. Also its a sports bar so it has a well defined atmosphere.“

“Six of us all enjoyed our delicious dinners! Service was very good. It's a beautiful restaurant. A little noisy, but not overly noisy. We will definitely go back, and highly recommend for others! Looking forward to their rooftop dinning this summer!!“

“Visited for Sunday brunch, staff very friendly but could be a bit more attentive to the needs of the guests. Some details were overlooked like no side dishes when serving an app, and slow drink refills. Willing to overlook the trivial however, overall the experience was great. As it was a birthday brunch for my wife, we found that they offer free French beignets for birthday celebrations. The atmosphere is very cool, restaurant extremely clean. Would recommend reserving online, without reservations we might've had a wait upon arriving. I will say they need to incorporate more blueberries in the blueberry pancakes - throwing a few berries over simple pancakes doesn't really make them "blueberry pancakes." Try to incorporate them for more flavor. I will highly recommend the hash browns with Gouda cheese - hands down the best hash browns I've ever tasted. Will definitely be back, maybe this time for dinner.“
