Restaurants in Mankato

“This is the definition of a 5 Star establishment. Don’t believe me? Come try it for yourself! The whole staff is amazing. The wait staff is fantastic, bartenders make the best drinks around, and the food is to die for. 10/10 7 days a week and twice on Sunday. A very clean and well run establishment.”

“We waited quite a while for our entrees. Sounds like the kitchen may have forgotten about our entree part of the order. The waiter was great and apologized. He ended up giving a great discount! Don’t remember his name, but this was the night of 3/15. The food was really good. We will be back!”

“This place is a hidden gem in Mankato. It's a lunch spot, however, they do serve breakfast and have some good looking cinnamon rolls. Check the Facebook site for a photo and description of the daily special and if nothing else, try the club sandwich. I believe all the soups are home made and never disappoint.”

“Nice spot for a local beer. Staying nearby and Locale was within a few blocks walking so decided to try it out. We unknowingly entered through the back door because the two food trucks were hiding the front entrance but, good to know there's multiple ways to get in and out! There is a bar area with seating, tables and a small patio for seating. Lots of options but one thing I noticed was that nearly all seating tables was set up for 4 or more which resulted In a bunch of half used tables inside. So, all the tables were filled but only at a bit over half capacity it seemed. We ordered our sampler at the register and headed outside. Bartender was nice and made a recommendation to help fill out the sampler flight. Total for the sampler was $12 based on the beers I chose so not the cheapest option for drinking but a good way to try a few. Beers were good. Chose two sours, a dark beer and a polish style beer. All unique in their flavor.”

“Just had the best steak in town. Perfectly prepared. Very friendly and professional staff, warm atmosphere. Our entire table enjoyed their experience. Highly recommend.”

“Wow. This place was amazing. Service and food were superb. Nice quiet atmosphere, perfect for a nice meal with friends and family. The food selection was wonderful. The dishes served were great. Bread, olives and olive oil served with the meal. Desserts looked very yummy but... I was strong and will reserve the calories for my next visit!”

“Very nice people running it.Fast service. Medium sized dining room. On a busy day, I'd recommend taking it to go. Food and prices are par for the course.Parking: FYI : route is a triple left from Adams Eastbound from Roundabout to parking lot.”

“Even sitting in the hibachi area, this place was nice. The waiters attended to our every need and even recommended some good appetizers. We were fed and happy on our date. I highly recommend.”

“Food is always fantastic. Service has been either really great or meh. We once waited well over 20 minutes for our server to even bring us a water.Parking: Parking garage is paid/free depending on time of day. Minimal street parking .”

“It was fantastic food. I really enjoyed the curried cauliflower. I only left off a star because the crispy prosciutto was just inedible. It was like a thin pice of plastic it was so hard. Everything else was delectable. And it is well worth a visit. Our server was very kind and attentive.”

“It's been a long time since I've been to a Red lobster and we decided to go eat here this was an excellent choice the people were super friendly very clean very excellent food.”

“I brought my 3 kids and Dad here and we all loved it. 2 of my children tried a cucumber roll for the first time and said they wanted to try different rolls next time because they liked it. My son said he is choosing Shogun for his birthday in October. It is a 3 hour drive to come to this location for Hibachi, but we will definitely be back! There were 5 kids total at our table and the chef did an amazing job with all of them. Very entertaining and enjoyable! My 74 year old Dad even commented how fun it was.Kid-friendliness: Our Chef interacted great with all the kids. We all were laughing and having fun.”

“It's my first time in Mankato but it seems like Berry Blendz is a local chain around the university campus. I actually came in thinking it would be frozen yogurt but the super nice cashier drew me in and helped me decide on a great smoothie called Luscious Lemon! Super tart, super delicious, and definitely not as heavy as ice cream. I really appreciated his suggestions and glad I stumbled in! Will probably be back to try a new flavor tomorrow! One note is he was super honest in saying all of the açaí bowls were amazing except the protein one - mixed reviews on that one so I'd suggest avoiding it!”

“I've been very happy with the people that prepare and bake my pizza's at Gary's! I would call their pizza thin crust but it actually has a decent pie shell to add all of your toppings without falling to pieces like Jake's stadium pizza. The "Meat" pizza is my favorite! The cheese bread is also really good here! Not everyone's first choice in getting pizza here, I would say most people haven't heard of Gary's since its in a less traveled area of Mankato, but I highly-advise anyone to give them a try!”

“I'm going to be moving to town pretty soon, and I thought I'd check out my grocery options. They have a pretty decent selection of food.I did self checkout since I only got two items, and I got really confused about where my food was going after I scanned it. It went on a convayer belt, the a rolly thing where it slid downward. I amlost thought my sushi was going to flip over. Clearly anyone who saw my reaction, probably knew I wasn't from there or hadn't been there before. lol. I'll definitely be shopping here a lot.”

“Karaoke on the weekends is an absolute blast and definitely the place to be in Mankato. Food was cheap and very tasty, drinks were a fair price. Make sure you have cash before you ”

“Good food, but I think the fry portion could be larger for the upgrade. They have a lot of drink and beer options. Pricing is a little upper end for bar type of food. A good place to go for watching sports, they have TVs everywhere.”

“Always a fun place to get a sweet drink in the mall. Only giving 4 stars because sometimes the people make your smoothie really nice and creamy. However, sometimes they also put it together in 0.5 milliseconds and don't care which then turn into a bad smoothie. Everything should be made the exact same each time. Otherwise, flavors and options are great!”

“Izzy is the best employee I have ever met! She made my day! She was amazing! She helped me find something that I loved, and talked to me the whole time I was here! My new favorite place!”
