Met Chef James at Twins game and made a special short 20 minute trip out from our downtown hotel. Food was worth the trip, staff was absolutely great and friendly. We brought our pup with us, plenty of outdoor sidewalk and patio seating, and a water dish provided. Will be back again.“

“Awesome restaurant with great food. While their whole menu and drink selection is good, breakfast/brunch is my favorite meal here.

They have a great combination of indoor and out door seating. It’s also located on the Main Street in excelsior with lots of local shops, the lake, and the commons park all within walking distance. The regional bike trail runs right by there as well making it a great destination or place for a quick stop.“

The "cottages" are wonderful even though there is downsizing to get done. The staff is very helpful and cheerful.

From the initial meeting a few weeks earlier to the final guest walking out, it was a wonderful evening. Great food, craft cocktails and dedicated servers who were outstanding. Loved how management checked in to ensure everything was flowing well and to our satisfaction. I highly recommend Rush Creek for any event you and your organization/wedding/biz are planning. Thank you Rush Creek for creating wonderful memories for us and our valued clients.“

“We had a brunch for 16 people at 11am. While they weren't able to hold seating/make reservations; they were able to make it a very short waiting time. Page and the serving crew were amazing! We had no waiting time on ordering and our server was professional and speedy. They kept the drinks coming and we had someone in our party with a lot of special food needs and they were wonderful! First place we've been to where my husband could eat an entire meal to his fill. The food was delicious! No one in the entire party had a single complaint! Wonderful blueberry rice sausages, eggs, pancakes, taco salad, hot tea, coffee, French toast, hashbrowns, English muffins, toast, and more! The decor is adorable! We're so lucky to have found this little cafe as we're from all around the US here for a wedding. It seems to be a local favorite as it was packed! Younger generations and older and everywhere in between! THE go to place if you live in the area or if you're just visiting! You won't be disappointed! Thank you for helping make our visit so wonderful! 10 STARS!“

“Long time customer first time complainer. Maynard’s has always had my favorite summer Margarita on the wharf, but this year it has been inconsistent and they added orange juice is a skinny spicy Margarita! First of all no self-respecting margarita has orange juice, and second of all, you can’t make a skinny margarita with pure sugar in orange juice. Please put it back and make it consistent so we can rely on having a great drink every time.“

“I took my nephew and his roommate to the Thanksgiving buffett today. The holiday decorations were very festive and pretty. The food was delicious, the drinks were reasonably priced, and I enjoyed the experience. The 21 year olds were full and happy when we left. I would go back for a similar offering in the future.“

“The Mrs. and I arrived here on a referral from my sister. She's sort of a cake eater. Well, her neighbors are cake eaters.

I'm telling you, just show up. We ordered the Jumbalaya for an appetizer... unbelievable. So flavorful.

Our server was engaging and her personality was fun. Real people with real service and real food.

Do it...just stop by and grab a bump.“

Our service was top notch! Always the most important part for me. We will be back!“

“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!“

“First time for breakfast. Sat on the nice patio. The breakfast wrap was delicious. Eggs, hash browns, rice, beans, sausage. Authentic Mexican flare was delicious. Even made sure to peek in the kitchen to give a shout out to the cook! Give it a try, you'll love it!“

“We have found our new go to!!! We are relatively new to this area and we’re so happy to have found you. Our meal was delicious and quite honestly I’m still thinking about the cauliflower appetizer. We most definitely will be back very soon ❤️“

“Our absolute favorite place to go in the area! They have THE BEST food, cocktails, and service. The prime rib skewers, creamy caper chicken, pizza, and pot pie are our personal favorites. The Justin cab, watermelon sugar high, and salted caramel White Russian (among other drinks) are seriously AMAZING! Servers and bartenders are top notch. This is our new weekly spot.“

“Birch's is one of the best places to go in the entire Twin Cities. It's unique yet, classic in many ways. Delicious food. Great Staff. Beautiful Ambiance. The crowds always bring a great energy.“

“This is a great new addition to Excelsior. Another venue created by Jester group. They also have Parlour downstairs and a fusion Asian place nearby.
We started with the popovers. They were a great option. Light, eggy, and cooked to perfection. The honey butter was the perfect pairing. The Caesar salad was very well made, balanced, and very fresh ingredients. The chicken wild rice soup was a nice starter. Perfectly seasoned, creamy, a good balance of wild rice, veggies, mushrooms,& chicken.
The Agnolletti was a small plate but very rich and truffle-y. The pasta was properly cooked and the creamy cheese filling was silky smooth. The Au Jus beef was a highlight. The shaves beef was delicious and tender. The au jus had depth of flavor and really soaked in to perfectly textured bun. Maybe could have used just a tad more salt, but regardless the flavors popped.
The margarita and the gimlet were excellent. The cherry bark collins was refreshing.
Overall a delicious meal. Absolutely would go back!“
