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

“I needed to feed our family quickly as our weekend plans changed. My wife and my children aged 5 and 3 showed up on a Sunday afternoon and we were greeted by an incredibly friendly team and our server was attentive. I understand this an Olive Garden chain that everyone is familiar with. But if you just need a quick, quality meal with the family, you must revisit. Made me realize that affordable and enjoyable dining still exists.“

“Excellent food, excellent service!“

“We had great lunch and a wonderful server, Amy!!!! We sat in a booth by a window overlooking the parking lot, with Crane Lake in the distance. We definitely will be back.“

“My husband and I chose to celebrate our one year anniversary here today. It was both of our first times dining at Broders’ and we enjoyed everything about this wonderful experience! Upon arriving we were attempting to take a selfie photo outside and one of the employees opened the front door and asked us if we would like him to take our photo. Tyson so kindly took several photo angles and opened up the door for us as we walked in. It truly felt like we were being welcomed into someone’s warm and inviting home. Our sweet waitress helped me select the most delectable glass of wine I have ever tasted. Words cannot explain how delicious the pasta was… we lapped up every single drop and were in absolute food heaven. To top it all off… we were treated to a free dessert of our choosing along with two chocolate cocoa truffles on the house!! After we finished our meal we went across the street to their storefront to purchase some pasta and sauce to enjoy at some point in the coming weeks. We will definitely be back for all special occasions and certainly for our two year anniversary. If you are looking for a once in a lifetime experience and meal this is the place!! Enjoy!“

“Delicious entrees and desserts! The service was wonderful as well!“

“Truly impeccable service and such a welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel so comfortable. The menu provides such vibrant dishes that carry you through a story that gives each bite with such flavor. I’ll definitely be back, I was happy to be introduced to this establishment by Jaelin, it is places like this that you absolutely need to try.“

“Food, atmosphere, and drinks were all fantastic. The Owner/Chef Joel has created something special at this gem nestled in a Minneapolis neighborhood. We had a large party for a friends pre-wedding dinner and the staff handled it great. From the apps to the desert, you can’t go wrong with anything you pick off the menu. We were all tasting each others food by the end of the night wanting to try EVERYTHING! Some have stated a smaller menu and prices, but then say the food blew them away…I for one like to pay to keep amazing food and ingredients an option. Can’t wait to bring my wife and other family members in the Twin Cities to do it again.“

“Invite your family and friends and they won’t be disappointed.“

“I had the pleasure of dining at Hendrix & Siena last night . The beautifully lit dining room made you feel at home the second you sat down. I could see from my table the kitchen crew busily preparing the food with love and it was ever so apparent by the constant smiles on their faces that they loved what they were doing. Now for the food... we started with the lemony beans which was so refreshing and well seasoned. I ordered the lasagne duefoglie and it was amazing......you must try it! Others at the table ordered the asparagus caesar salad that had perfectly marinated sea beans and asparagus and the Sorpresine with a carmelized cream sauce to die for. I highly recommend this restaurant and I plan to be back!“

“This place is a hidden gem! Amazing Italian dishes that are delicious, well made, and craveable. They have traditional and unique entrees. The fried ravioli is so good! Make sure to save room for their desserts as they are a taste adventure of their own. Service is timely and the staff are friendly, upbeat, and welcoming. There's indoor and outdoor seating. This is a great place for a special occasion or just to get some comfort food when you need it.“

“Great dinner tonight. Salad and the short rib, deliciously flavored and tender. Great red wine. Followed by tiramisu. They never disappoint.“

“This is absolutely my favorite place for date nights with my husband or dinner with my girlfriends.
The service has always been great and the food is delicious.
For the appetizer, I’ve liked the burrata, brussel sprouts and caesar salad.
My go to pasta has been the Rigatoni Diavolo, very flavorful with just the right amount of spice.
For desserts we always get their gelato, it’s one of the best I’ve had. Favorite flavors have been pistachio, salted caramel and chocolate.“

“BEST fried chicken I’ve ever had!! 🍗🍗🍗🍗🍗“

“Had a very crispy and super delicious slice today, like outstanding pizza. 🍕“

Special Thank You to Cheyenne, he was amazing his drinks were fabulous, ask him for some of his specials, he did an amazing alcohol free apple drink, that had all 8 of us at the table very happy. He also took time to take us on a tour of the entire facility. This is a beautiful place, it has so much character. We will be back again.“

“Yes, I know Olive Garden is more a comfort food fix ....but. ... its consistent and affordable! However what made tonight great was our server Quincy. He didn't just serve us, he was like a new friend with good recommendations and tips on visiting the south!! Make sure and ask for him if u stop at this location!“

“Went there for the bogo lunch deal. The fettuccine Alfredo with chicken was great. Huge pieces of chicken. My boyfriend’s spaghetti with meatballs looked great. First time at this location we will be back!“

“My wife and I had a late lunch on Tuesday at the Maple Grove Olive Garden. Our waiter’s name was Shine. I talked to Derrick, the general manager regarding how well cooked the chicken was on my meal. It was cooked properly and was still very tender and juicy. The manager was very nice to talk too and explained how their cooks are trained well and use a temperature probe to always assure that the chicken is cooked to the correct temp. My wife and I had a great lunch, in fact brought food home for dinner too. Great general manager and Shine is a great waiter. Overall experience was fantastic, well done Olive Garden!“

The flavor was amazing, and I loved that I could order a vegan option since it's been a while since I visited Pizza Luce. The staff was incredibly friendly when I came in to pick up my order.“

“If the TV show Cheers had a pizza joint in Hopkins, it would be Pizza Lucé.

This is one of those rare places where everyone seems to know your name and even better, remembers your order. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and authentically neighborhood-focused. Whether you’re stopping in after a bike ride, meeting friends for brunch, or grabbing a late-night bite, it feels like home.

The service team is outstanding. Hannah went above and beyond, crafting two custom coffee martinis that were every bit as good as anything you’d find at a dedicated cocktail bar. Friendly, attentive, and genuinely happy to see you that’s the standard here.

The brunch is excellent, especially on the patio when Minnesota weather cooperates. Located right along the bike path, it’s the perfect destination for food, drinks, and people-watching. The menu has something for everyone, from creative specialty pizzas and breakfast pizzas to vegan options, plus favorites like bruschetta and lasagna.

Reasonable prices, generous hours, consistently great food, and a staff that treats you like family. In a world of chains and cookie-cutter restaurants, Pizza Lucé Hopkins remains a true neighborhood gem.

Sometimes you want more than a meal, you want a place where everybody knows your name. This is that place. #cheers!“

“Best deep dish pizza in the area. Lots of cheese and toppings.“

“I got my food, the order was correct, the cashier was courteous and I didn't get carjacked. it was a good day“

“Stopped to grab a gift card and ended up ordering a pizza too. It has been a minute since I had Punch. Tonight was amazing! Piping hot pizza with loads of sausage and mushrooms. I ate a couple slices while heading home. The pizza really hit the spot, and the service was great as well. 😊“

“We ordered a large pepperoni with black and green olives last night. Gotta say, it was one of the best pizzas we've had in a very long time! The pizza was delivered quickly for a Friday night and still piping hot! Thanks for the great service and great pizza!! We'll be ordering from you again!“

“Angeno’s is the best! Excellent food at a nice price, and the best, friendliest service you’ll ever encounter. Kelly is the epitome of a true professional, providing exemplary service with a smile. The calzones are the bomb!!“

“Good food. Can’t go wrong with pizza. Service in the bar area not the fastest, but wasn’t in a huge hurry.“

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

“Took a chance on a small mall coffee shop-what a surprise. Best coffee I’ve had around the Twin cities. Whatever coffee they’re using, it’s fantastic. Wish they had as many locations as the other chain stores (or at least one out in Eagan 😆)“

“My wife and I were craving pizza and stopped at Red's Savoy in Osseo,MN tonight to place a takeout order. John, the owner was working the counter and was a very friendly and funny guy. He is a great addition to the Osseo business district. We were going to order our pizza and go next door for a beer while they prepped it. John asked us why not have a beer here? So we did and he kept us laughing and entertained between answering the phone taking orders. The restaurant was clean, the company was good and pizza looked awesome and smelled and tasted even better. If you are craving pizza near Osseo,MN, do yourself a favor and head over to Red's Savoy and get the best pizza in town. Maybe even have a beer with the boss while you wait. The Eastsider pizza with the sauerkraut is a MN legend!“

“Had a great time. Food was excellent. Very family friendly.“

“awesome deep dish pizza thank you“
