“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!“

“We hosted our daughter’s ceremony in Medina Entertainment center, and the service and coordination were exceptional. Everything was perfectly planned and executed just as we had requested. The ceremony went smoothly, and our guests thoroughly enjoyed it. The event coordinator Christy, bar server, and food server all did an outstanding job. I would definitely plan my next event here again. Thank you“

“For our company’s employee appreciation party, we booked a cruise on the Belle Vista, and it was wonderful! The crew was very kind, professional and attentive and the food was amazing. We are beyond impressed with how smoothly everything went from the initial booking to the day of the cruise. Morgan worked with us diligently to book the cruise and did a fantastic job recommending which boat would best fit our group and helped with selecting our food choices. We can’t thank all the staff at Al and Almas enough, from the cooks that prepared our food, to the many behind-the-scenes staff, and the incredible crew that made our day so special. We highly recommend Al and Almas for any event and can’t wait to plan our next cruise.“

“Ryan was the absolute best server that I have encountered in my life! I have an anaphylaxis food allergy. He was so on top of making sure that whatever I ordered wasn't going to be an issue. He checked with the head chef 3 different times about different entrees, so I could have the best experience. We are from out of town and will definitely be back due to the great service provided. Ryan, thank you so much for being so attentive in regards to my allergy. Tonight's experience made your restaurant, one I will always recommend.“

“The food and bloody Mary’s are amazing!!! We had great service on Mother’s Day and I cannot wait to go back each month to try a new Bloody Mary!“

“Always great good and great service! Love this place!“

“Great experience tonight at Zupas. Always get great service, especially at the Draper Zupas. Jon runs a tight ship and it is always clean and the staff ( Alyssa, Maya, Marilu, Kami, Brynn) 5 Star. Let’s go“

“Great Culver's. Honestly I was there around 1:30pm and there were 8 cars in front of me. A bit of a wait. But once I ordered and got to the window to pay,, my order came out within minutes. Hot and exactly how I ordered it. I highly recommend this Culver's“

“My wife and I enjoyed an early Friday dinner at one of our favorite restaurants. I enjoyed a castle danger cream ale on tap and my wife ordered her favorite white wine. We were impressed with the generous pour she was served. I ordered steak bites for the first time. She ordered the chicken stir fry - a long time favorite. She was served a very generous amount, i.e., the largest ever. She loved her entree and I was happy with mine as well. Friday's are often busy and it was very busy yesterday. The noise level was unpleasantly high making conversation a challenge. We will be avoiding Friday dinners at Maynard's in the spring, summer and fall. We were pleased to see the lot across the street now opened for parking at a cost of $2.00. 🤗“

“It's a fast food restaurant, so atmosphere isn't really what you're there for. The food is always prepared fresh and the service is incredibly pleasant. Stores are usually very clean which makes a big difference when dining in. Great, juicy burgers, always hot, and crispy crinkle fries!“

“Beautiful! I can’t say enough about the wonderful summer vibes of this gorgeous restaurant! The only thing I noticed out of place were the napkins. Mine was all white but the table next to me had stripes? Don’t skip on the delicious calamari- prepared fresh by the scratch kitchen! The craft cocktails were delicious! However my favorite part of the experience was our server Sara! She made great recommendations and even better company! I would have invited her to join the table and stay but I would have had to take a number because all the guests were loving her!“

“The ordering to go was amazingly fast. No sitting in a one hour drive through backup! Who knew!!!“

“We had a lovely brunch experience today. While the food and drinks were wonderful, our visit was GREATLY enhanced by the AMAZING service we received from Colin. What a gem of a young man you have!“

“Great staff and food. Very fresh has a fun golf club machine“

“Honestly our experience couldn't have been better. We arrived early and were offered complimentary Prosecco while we waited. A small thing, but a nice touch. Old fashioned was a 10. Food was inventive, aesthetic and cooked to perfection. Server was attentive and informed. Really nice job to all involved!“

“Last night, we held a real estate client party at Rush Creek and the entire event was perfectly executed. 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.“

“Great place to meet and hang out with friends. Casual atmosphere. Patio seating is a favorite. They really do have excellent burgers. They do have a great selection of beer however, it would be excellent if they had hard cider on tap. You do have the option of buying a bottle of your favorite wine at the attached liquor store and enjoying it for a corking fee. The staff is long-standing and ever friendly. Haskell's will always remain a favorite.

Parking: Somewhat limited.“

“We had a large group descend of the restaurant on a Saturday evening. We enjoyed the Chateau Briand for two for $63. We each got a house salad, choice of potato and a 22 oz chateau Briand smothered in sauteed mushrooms. It was good. Our waitress Joan was very friendly and kept up with our table. She happened to overhear us discussing something confusing us on someone's fried chicken order and immediately cleared up the trouble without us having to say a word. That for a nice evening Joan.“

“Outstanding food. Never disappointed.“

“I moved in earlier than I planned because there wa no reason not too. I am very happy at The Waters and so glad I made the move. The "cottages" are wonderful even though there is downsizing to get done. The staff is very helpful and cheerful. The food is great - besides the 'every day menu," there are specials for lunch and dinner. The menu is quite varied with chicken, beef/veal, pork, turkey and vegetarian.“

“absolutely delicious food great service And very friendly staff“

“Amazing brunch- chicken biscuits and gravy. Excellent service and staff!“

“The food is always good. The service is always just “meh.” I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been to 3 Squares and Ive had to ask for a refill, find my server to get the check, or get up to ask for a condiment. Once the food is deli, the servers never come back to check on you. It’s very frustrating. It’s nice outside on a cool day. The inside is kind of musty and the booths need a good cleaning and upgrade to be of any comfort. I think the entire place needs a revamp.“

“A quick go to place for a fast and affordable dinner meal. I visited this location several times and I always find it to be clean, consistent, and fast. The dining area is definitely an upgrade when compared with McDonald's, Burger King, or even Wendy's. I've never had a service issue here where there was a problem with my order.“

“We showed up for pizza and onion rings and a beer, watch Viking game! No wait for a table got the little one a booster wood seat so to speak which worked really well!
Service and food was really good! I will go back easily!

Kid-friendliness: We had a 9 month old and had kids 2 tables over, teens“

“Thank you Culver’s of Maple Grove for the great fast lunch. Special thanks to Nan who was so patient taking our order with all the changes as we’re teaching the younger kids how to place their orders“

“The atmosphere was comfortable, the décor, setting and layout was that of an “Old Lakeside Lodge” including an intimate space with a Fireplace. The menu was well put together and had a nice variety of choices, the food was delicious and enjoyed by the four of us. The staff was competent, friendly and personable without being intrusive. Our evening was also not complete without a welcomed tableside visit from “The Magic of Suzanne” (a different set of card tricks). Wow, live entertainment. We will definitely return, expecting the same kind of hospitality we received last evening and will definitely tell others about our experience. Thanks for a memorable evening!“

“I took my 10 year old son here today for the first time and it was amazing. We had breakfast; I had the French toast Benedict, yum! My son had kids French toast with bacon. Our server was Nick and he was awesome. Definitely will be back to try lunch!“

“Our first time here. Our server was amazing and the food came out fast and was good. Our only complaint was how rude and condescending one of the hostess was. Sydney was extremely rude multiple times to me and my mom. I was more upset of how she talked to my mom. Her name was Sydney and we were not the only one she was rude to. It was a shame since the rest of our time was a 10/10.“

“One of my favorite lunch spots during the week since I work out that way. Nothing better than a home made soup and sandwich. Delicious!!“

“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.“

“Indoor Dinning, large menu, creative cuisine, great food, and healthy options“

“Great service…great food…great prices!“

“Need to add great place to take the family and wonderful people. We love McGarry’s for relaxing, being creative and getting spoiled. Thanks Lisa, Brandon, Kris, and so many more. 🥰“

“Great food!! The crab cake was Amazing… don’t forget to get an Amazing margarita 🍹“

“The best French Onion Soup in the Twin Cities is at The Sunshine Factory.“

“Waitress brought the food but never came back to see if everything was OK and never refilled my iced tea.

Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp down the middle of the restaurant so you'd be able to go to either side.“

“I want to thank the staff at this Perkins for their efficient waiters and supporting members. I called two weeks prior to set up an area for 20 people. My husband had passed and we were having a family breakfast before everyone left to return to their homes. They kindly had it set up when we got there. The waiter, Joel, did an amazing job of taking care of us. With the help of two other waiters we were well taken care of by them. They served the kids first, which all the parents appreciated very much. I told Joel I wanted the check. He then helped me navigate through the card machine. He asked me what this celebration was for, Birthday, anniversary? I told him no, it was for a Celebration of my husband life. Said he was sorry for my loss and gave me a hug. Thank you for the great service and for accommodation. Blessings to all“

“Sabrina is the best! She's enhances our dining experience every time we come in with her awesome personality and her service is top notch. She's one of the reasons we keep coming back (besides the delicious bruschetta and spaghetti w meatballs!) Thank you!“

“Thank you Tony and your staff for a great day“

“Great happy hour appetizers!“

“We were welcomed with open arms yesterday! The food was simply amazing! We recommend the Urban Cowboy Burger and the Tacos!!! We will be back again, thanks again Ben!“

“The place just fits. Nothing pretentious. Grateful for places like Maggie’s.“

“Lovely atmosphere and great food!“

“Best restaurant/bar in town. Cindy is a wizard with her menu. Everything on the menu is to die for! So much better than Maynard’s and stinky fletchers. Plus that one brunette server is so gorgeous. Katey, can I have your number?

Parking: Best parking lot in the whole wide world. I would live there if cindy would let me.“

“This was a typical Applebee's experience. The mushroom and swiss burger was tasty and had just a smig too much bourbon sauce. The service was a little slow and distracted, but they got the job done. The restaurant was a little on the cold side, but we had jackets, so it wasn't too bad. The price was less than I expected, so that was a pleasant surprise.“

“Our first time here. Our server was amazing and the food came out fast and was good. Our only complaint was how rude and condescending one of the hostess was. Sydney was extremely rude multiple times to me and my mom. I was more upset of how she talked to my mom. Her name was Sydney and we were not the only one she was rude to. It was a shame since the rest of our time was a 10/10.“

“loved the name of the place so we had to check it out. the food was very good and moderately priced“
