“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!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

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

“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!“

“🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥place & love the area I recommend everybody to get the experience“

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

“I came here for my birthday dinner and they did not disappoint. The cocktails I had were incredible, they were a little strong for me as a light weight. I can't name the pasta me and my partner had but the flavor in it was excellent. I'm not usually the fine dinning type but I would 100% come here again for an occasion. They were so sweet and gave me free gelato with a candle on it for my birthday! Thank you Josefina!“

“This was my second visit to Buca in Maple Grove. It was amazing. The staff is very friendly and attentive. 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.

“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!“

“This is literally one of the best places I have ever eaten, that I have to write a review more than one place 😂 Absolutely everything is amazing, and I always get it when I have guests in town, to blow their mind 🤯 I am amazed at their quality, especially with delivery. You guys are beyond impressive!! ❤️“

“I had a fantastic time enjoying my pizza while staying at a nearby hotel—it was a delightful treat for a Friday night! 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.“

“Best pizza place in town, and owned by a genuinely nice dude!“

“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. 😊“

“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!“

“UPDATE: Red's Savoy responded with an explanation and an offer for a free pizza. They also reminded me I had $10 on my account that I could put towards a new order of wings as well. Ordered again the other day and paid nearly nothing, with the exception of the tip. Delicious as always and thanks for the great customer service!

Ordered a large pizza last weekend in order to utilize my free wings offer. Pizza is a little spendy ($28.50 for Savoy's Special) but figured it was worth it for the awesome free wings that would go along with good pizza. Gave a $10 tip. Five days later I saw a $47.54 charge on my bank transactions. Called to see if they processed it correctly and was then told about a $5 delivery fee, a $1.90 credit card fee and then tax. Had I known this I would have not ordered delivery and/or given a smaller tip (delivery fee goes to the driver). Also, would have paid cash. If we order again we will pick it up but rather disappointed with this incident. :(“

“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.“

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

“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 😆)“

“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!!“
