“Positive-Great tasting food with large portions. Great food choices. Bakery to die for. Friendly service. Negative-Pricey and very noisy. Not a lot of seating. Crowded. I would definitely go back again!!!“

“Monday special smash burger was really good and very affordable. Just the right amount of food. No refill on my iced tea is my only real complaint. After food was delivered we didn't see the waitress again until she brought us the bill.“

“I have been working in the area for a couple of years and didn't know about this place until I found it by accident today. I ordered the special Turkey Pita, sandwich of the day and a burger and fries for my husband. The food was hot, and fresh and the fries were deliciously crispy. I also ordered a side of 'special sauce', because I love to dip things, and it did not disappoint. We decided to enjoy our food outside on the back patio and it was absolutely divine. Imagine a upper patio veranda surrounded by trees and flowers, birds singing above and lovely natural shade all around. I didn't want to leave. The grounds are surrounded by rose bushes and the fragrance from them was captivating. It was an oasis in the middle of my busy work day and I can not wait to go back there and try some of the other options on the menu. I am sharing food pics. Don't mind my husband's burger, he eats them upside down!
PS. I am a sales manager for the beautiful Hampton Inn in Minnetonka, I am excited to recommend this tasty cafe to my corporate groups!!“

“I have been attending for 20 years. The staff has turned over many times. Food is always perfect. Staff is the variable. I have two worthy of particular honors. They are Cathy and Shannon. Pin gold medals on the both. Don't let them leave until they are much too old. They make Perkins for me“

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

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Exceptional Service at The Tavern Grill – Minnetonka What a wonderful dining experience! From start to finish, everything flowed beautifully — even with a surprise 20-top arriving while we were there. Our server, **Sam**, was EXCELLENT!!🌟 She handled everything with grace, professionalism, and a warm smile that made us feel genuinely cared for. Her timing, attentiveness, and positive energy elevated the entire evening — she’s a true gem and a reflection of great hospitality. We were also so impressed by the **manager**, who personally stepped in to bring out our appetizers with such kindness and professionalism. It showed true leadership and teamwork — and we noticed! 👏 The food was delicious, the atmosphere vibrant, and the service absolutely top-notch. Thank you, Tavern Grill team, for going above and beyond to make our evening special. We’ll definitely be back — and asking for Sam! 💛🙌“

“Blue Birch is a hidden gem! I came on a Friday evening and was pleasantly surprised by the live music, it created the perfect vibe for a relaxing night out. The setting is beautiful, with a charming fountain and a small pond that make the outdoor dining experience feel peaceful and unique. The food was just as impressive fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared. Whether you’re out for a date night or just want to unwind with good food and atmosphere, Blue Birch is definitely worth a visit!“

“Delicious barbecue chicken and peach tea. Excellent service. Very nice patio.“

“Delicious hams and turkeys. Always a clean store and the staff are friendly and professional.“

“The chicken Parmesan and asada bowl are some my favorite dishes here. The Happy hour Buy 1 Get 1 for $1 is the best in the area. I typically come because bartender Julieta is awesome and fast with drinks.“

“First time here and I highly recommend it. Great food and big portions for your money. Will return!!“

“Great food and service, and of course delicious cheesecake!“
