“Had never been here before, stopped in for a burger. Ordered a Smoke Jumper Burger and was hugely impressed by how good it was. The lady working at the front desk was also very friendly and her service was perfect. Very very reasonably priced for the quality of the food and experience.“
“I was here for a breakfast meeting. It was excellent. I had scrambled eggs and an excellent, fresh rosted coffee. The meeting room is quiet and well equipped. In the shop you find small exhibitions of local artists that make the atmosphere cozy. You can buy artworks in the shop. The staff is very friendly and served us quickly.“
“Very inviting place. Nice open floor and very clean. Service is amazing and the beers they make are some of the best around. Nice snacks available as well. Always a fun experience when you go. Definitely one of the better places to go to. So much fun to be here. Even got to see some dogs joining the place. Outside seating is also fun. Looking for a nice place to meet friends at lunch it is a great choice.“
“Visited Boom Island Brewing Company and Taproom for their Lord of the Rings Night and it was an unforgettable experience! The dedication to cosplay transformed the place, making it feel as though we'd stepped right into Middle-earth. The theme-appropriate music was the cherry on top. I was there for 5 hours, and even though I missed the trivia, I had a fantastic time. It's worth noting they host trivia every Thursday at 6:30 pm, which I'll definitely not miss next time. The atmosphere was inviting, their kombucha was delicious, and the Hana Bistro food truck was top-notch. Highly recommend for an immersive themed evening!“
“It was a fun night at the Gold Nugget - lots of diners, families and folks having a great Saturday night. Nicole kept our drinks filled and updated on the status of our entrees coming out. We had a nice table next to the windows. My favorite Asada Bowl was delicious; I always think I'm going to try something else, but order it because it really is my favorite. My husband tries lots of different menu choices, and enjoys it every time. See you again soon.“
“Wow! On a snowy March Monday evening, Redstone at Ridgedale was warm and welcoming. We agreed we need to be dining here more! The chicken chop salad was outstanding, the cornbread was simply delicious. Love the ambience and wanted in particular to mention our server, Luis. He was polished, attentive & enhanced our dinner with his outstanding service. Well done all around.“
“I recently visited Lake and Irving for dinner before a concert. Nate our server was amazing. He was attentive to the table's needs and gave great recommendations. The food, the atmosphere, and the hospitality were amazing. I'll be making it a point to come back.“
“Shockingly good food. Wouldn't necessarily expect much from the name or exterior, but, walk in, and the smells let you know the kitchen is working on something delicious. Loved everything we had, and we also really enjoyed the family atmosphere.“
“I'm gonna go ahead and add to these 5* reviews because they deserve them! We ordered at least 3 times back to back. The owner recognized me on the 2nd visit, which I appreciated. The pizza is always fresh, looks AMAZING, tastes GREAT, AND THE OWNER HANDS YOU YOUR FOOD WITH PRIDE! Oh! Yes, vegan sausage (soy) and vegan cheese (non soy ? ) available. One of my visits, there was a young man doing homework and eating pizza. It was a picturesque moment of a student after school hanging at the pizza spot. The prices are decent, too. Even though I do carry out, I made sure to tip because of the quality service and food.The photos are the first visit. Each visit after has been just as beautiful and tasty. I ordered without cheese, just to see how flavorful the sauce was. The sauce was SO flavorful, I did not miss cheese. Mind = BLOWN. The owner put me on to "fried peppers." When I tell you they add heat?!? So delicious! They are the peppers on the non-cheese pizza in the photos. Fresh veggies. Fresh basil! We love the crust. Crispy, chewy, and yummy! This place is worth it. Awesome location, tables and chairs to eat in, cute window seating, and super cool vibe. Seriously, give them some of your time and money.3.2.24 UPDATE: Back again... THEY DO NOT MISS! This is what you call CONSISTENCY! Today was a cheese pizza with Italian seasonings and light white onion on half. They NAILED it! No need to request extra cheese or well done. This is real pizza.Vegetarian options: Vegan cheese and sausage (soy) available“
“Delicious food as always. Depending on your waiter, my partner and I were treated differently (negatively) than the folks sitting around us. Felt rushed to finish, even though it wasn’t busy. The waitress was rude and didn’t even stop by to fill our water once. She was short and rude to us while providing service, but the people seated to our sides were given a positive attitude and were told the special of the day etc. planning to just order to go next time we get a craving to avoid the negativity.“
“Best burger I have ever had. (Coastal something burger, they said it was new). The patties and bacon were HOT flavorful, juicy and perfect. The toppings were COLD and amazing. The bun was fresh and toasted… My Burger does not “check the box”… My Burger is the BURGER TO BEAT! I’ll never visit MN without visiting My Burger.Service and cleanliness was ***** as well.Price was very reasonable. I’ve paid more for less many times!Easiest 5 starts I’ve ever given.Owners, keep up the good work. I don’t know how you do this good at scale… but please consider a franchise in UTAH!! ❤️?“
“It's great juicy hamburgers like grease dripping. Dam, I should have had another one during this review. They asked no questions when I said no bun, staff was very helpful, and food came fairly quickly. We'll go there again and try some different food because if it's anything like the past two experiences, we have nothing to worry about.Dietary restrictions: I'm on the Ketovore diet it's where you pretty much remove all Carbs and suger, so I had asked for no bun, and that's what I got along with a fork and knife.“
“One of the best MN distilleries, IMO. Every spirit I've had is smooth and well balanced. Their blue agave tequila is one of my favorites and something I drink in the rocks. Tried their spiced rum today and it's just as good. Not overly sweet or cloying like a lot of rums can be. Nice notes of cinnamon, allspice, and anise. The taproom is really laid back but can get loud and hard to hear folks you're talking with. The service of amazing and ordering by QR core at the table makes everything really smooth. They've got some bar snacks and Heggies of you don't want to order in. Their cocktails are all well balanced, strong, and not overly sweet. It's one of my favorite places to grab a drink since it's not pretentious like a lot of other cities lounges or "rustic" like you get in the country. Just a lot of people looking to have a drink or two and get some good conversation.“
“Unfortunately couldn't capture a photo because we ate the food so fast!We ordered the gyro, waslad, and boy we could not have been happier with our meal. The spices, tenderness, and how they fried their food could not have been more perfect. Their sauces are spicy yet not overwhelming. I'm surprised I haven't heard of this place, it should be on everyone's hot list for the Twin Cities.“
“A cosy brewery where you can sit down with your buds and enjoy every sip. They have a good variety of beers on tap and few seasonal ones as well. You can have free popcorns on the side to enjoy with your beers. They have limited seating for up to around 10 tables, so chose a not so busy time to go there and make the most of it. ?“
“I met up with some friends to do the wine and tarot card reading event for Halloween night. Tickets had to be pre-purchased. Located in a small business strip with a shared parking lot. When we got there we sat at an high table and ordered some wine glasses and snacks sold at the wine room while waiting for our readings. Wine and food was good. Overall experience was fun and I'd like to come Back and try other menu items too.“
“The lovely barista recommended I put some cardamon on my latte- it was incredible. Thanks so much- I really enjoyed it.The cafe is quaint, the service is kind and helpful. The food people had looked tasty. I only wish I could have stayed longer. Will be back!“

“Our first time stopping at this location as we passed through while traveling. James from the second we walked in was an absolute class act! Customer service was phenomenal and recommendations were even better. We came in a little unsure of what we wanted and James gave us some excellent recommendations. The Bulldog and Shih Tzu did not disappoint! Huge dogs, loaded with toppings and the bread was delicious! Thank you James and Dog Park we will be back!“
“I had their food when it was catered for a work event. Absolutely phenomenal!!! I went back today to order on my own. I got the ribeye sandwich. mac n cheese and loaded chips.Sandwich -- AMAZING!!! Small, but also a decent piece of steak, so you kind of have to expect that. I'd definitely order it again!!!Loaded chips -- not so good. See pic.Mac n cheese -- just ok. I'm really, really picky about Mac n cheese. My fav is whalburgers. Most people will love this!Can't wait to go back and try other things. Have to say.. the owner is just a delightful person and the product is VERY good. Try the green goddess dressing. You won't regret it!!!“
“My husband I have been coming here for a couple years now and we LOVE it. As frequent brewery visitors, out of all that we have been to around the Twin Cities WSB is by far our favorite. The hospitality and atmosphere this place brings is unmatched. (Of course, we also LOVE their beer!) We always get a friendly smile and a delicious pint. Highly highly recommend.“
“Great fresh pasta, good amount of variety on the menu, very friendly and relaxed service, nice ambiance. Also points for good wheelchair accessibility with the spacious layout while still feeling cozy.I live in the neighborhood and will definitely be back!Wheelchair accessibility: Sidewalks and crosswalks surrounding the location are quite rough and nearby parking can be limited, but the restaurant itself is very accessible with enough space for maneuvering a power chair even when tables are full.“
“Great brewery with a very cozy atmosphere. This is a place I could see spending lots of time at if I lived nearby. Nice game selection. Kid & dog friendly. Good assortment of activities and food trucks on the schedule. Highly recommend.“
“The beer can be hit or miss in my experience, for the cost especially if can be disappointing... Usually it's at least decent but have had a few beers that have made me just want a macro instead. Happy to have them here though, what a location and bike friendliness is so appreciated. Always worth supporting.“
“Have to give this location a huge shoutout. The location is normally great. Foods amazing and the service is good. I went around 6:15 for the $3.14 Pi Day pizza deal and this place was slammed. 30+ minute wait time but they absolutely crushed it. The crew making and cooking the pizzas was moving like a well oiled machine, the younger cashier up front still had a fun positive attitude and interacted with each customer. He could have easily just gone into robot mode at that point. The guy in the black work shirt who was getting all the orders ready for pick up was on his A game. So much going on and you could tell it was stressful but he was doing his best to juggle getting the orders out and helping with any issues/requests.I’ve seen places fall apart due to less chaos so everyone there deserves some major praise for handling such a crazy rush.Oh yeah and the pizza was fabulous. Still made with care and not sloppy or rushed or anything.“
“We’ve eaten at the Block (on the Pawtio) several times. We’ve never had poor food or service, in fact, the excellent food and service keeps us coming back for more!! We also love that our dog is welcome to join us! To the staff at The Block: Keep doing what you’re doing, because it’s fantastic!“
“Best frozen custard I've ever had! It wasn't too sweet like others I've had before. They had quite a few options, I had the hot fudge sundae with banaa and my hubs had the banana split. The workers were all teens and they were super friendly and helpful. Parking spot is small because there is a drive thru (DRIVE THRU FOR FROZEN CUSTARD!! BRILLIANT!). Line went fast though. Wish we had this in the Bay Area. Wish we had better behaved teens with strong work ethic in the Bay Area. LOL! Cause these teens who work here would be a great example. You need to definitely head over to this spot. Great service and the best FROZEN CUSTARD!“
“Been here a few times- I love the pizzas. It kinda feels like a premium pizza; high grade ingredients and elevated combinations. I've had a few different flavors but the red wagon is a go to.We planned to dine in but it was so busy we ordered takeout and sat at the bar and they were very accommodating.My wife found a new job alcoholic craft drink and the bartender informed us that it was local and gave us the low down on where it is available (now I get to have cool points and surprise my wife)!My wife is and daughter (should be more) gluten free and dairy free and they have THE BEST pizza in this category as well. They really don't disappoint.We also ordered the jerk dry wings which had zero spice but tons of flavor and were cooked perfectly (use the lime, it's your friend on these wings). We also had the homemade chips which were bomb but you don't get enough of the sriracha aoili with them.You do pay a little more for this pizza and for the price, atmosphere, quality and service, it's best to dine in and have the full experience.But, I'll say the reheat is solid but undercook it and gradually get it right while reheating as the thinner slices could be less forgiving in a microwave or toaster oven but it's still a good pizza then too.It seems hard to believe that someone would be disappointed unless they just don't like that wood/coal fire/thin crust kind of pizza.Been back a few times and will be back more times.Parking is not a stress-free experience, so plan to walk to be safe.Dietary restrictions: Can easily accommodate gluten free and dairy free pizza and still have the same premium pizza experience.“
“Casual and elbow-to-elbow seating replicates the feel of hanging out downtown or uptown, and the full-wall windows bring in excellent sunset light. The food options are excellent and the pretzel is good to split between three. A lot.of the sausage options clearly connect to my sense-memories from my experiences in Germany and taste authentic and delicious. The hometown takes on them (the Juicy Lucy Wurst is my favorite!) are also refreshing and filling.“
“I love this place, the first time a waiter asks if we have any food allergies, wow they are attentive, the food is delicious, the cocktails are exquisite and the location is very good, you can walk near a large lake, it has different places for ice cream or anything another craving.“

“We had a large group for brunch on a Sunday. Staff was accommodating of the little ones - even brought some toys over for them which was a nice surprise. Great service, great food, we’ll be back!Kid-friendliness: We had three kids under 8 in our group, very accommodating.“
“We had an absolutely fantastic time with friends, enjoying delicious drinks expertly crafted by Christopher and desserts by Sammy. The ambiance was top-notch, and the service was both impeccable and swift. Highly recommend this spot for anyone seeking a memorable evening with great company and cocktails!“
“Excelsior Brewing is now one of the best breweries in the twin cities. I used to think their beers were just ok, but they have seriously stepped up their game in the past couple of years. The strawberry cream ale, spiced dark ale (can’t remember the exact name!) and their s’mores beer are unique and tasty. Their location in excelsior is great and their trivia night on Thursdays is super fun. Don’t always head to Minneapolis for great beer- Excelsior is where it’s at!!!!“
“Munkabeans Coffeehouse in Hopkins has a warm, fresh, homemade feel. From the blueberry muffins cooling on the counter to the local artists’ work displayed on the walls, the coffee shop has a neighborhood vibe that is very inviting. My husband ordered a Cinnabon Latte coffee and shared a sip with me. It was so good, I ordered my own. I also purchased some of the available artwork for sale. ❤️“
“Been here for after work happy hour twice in the last two weeks. Have had great service and I love the atmosphere. It's hard to find a fun place these days that isn't too loud so this is a real gem! I'm happy to have found Thirty Bales as a great option for catching up with friends.Parking: Free parking lot across the street“
“Stopped in to COV for drinks at the bar, and had a nice time. The bar has TVs and also good people watching. I got the Moscow mule and it was really good! I noticed that they have a happy hour on Saturdays from 10-4. I plan to come back for happy hour with girlfriends!“
“The self-pour experience went much better than I expected. I poured 10oz hazy IPAs, which was fine, because I can always pour a few more oz if I want to. A few oz of Bear'leywine.? No problem.Eclectic food choices, with many meatless choices. Pizza crust was soft, but burnt on the bottom. Servers were very helpful.“
“Cecil was our server and they were very attentive and had great recommendations! The happy hour options are very broad and inclusive to food and drinks. The gluten free, vegan, and vegetarian options are unique and delicious. The artichoke dip is very flavorful and having different things to dip was wondeful! There are quite a few different seating options, we love the firepit outside.“
“This place amazed me. I randomly walked by this place. and it smelled so good I turned around and went back for a snack..What a treat! I ordered a housemade chai and a cup of the soup of the day which was butternut squash. Wow, really impressed. Both were delicious. I was surprised the soup even came with 5 pieces of toasted baguette. Super affordable and delightful with great ambience and service. Grateful moments!“
“We were visiting from VT for the World Cup and we so psyched to find this restaurant walking distance from where we were staying. It was so good that we came back the next night and got takeout for our last!! Best fish tacos I have ever had! Ecuadoran vegetable plate was delicious and the cauliflower soup was fabulous. We never had room for dessert but got the panne cotta to go and it was amazing!“
“Newly remodeled. Ordered the everything pizza (it was just ok), fish and chips were great, and so were the fried mushrooms. Overall, the food was good. We arrived at a peak time and got the last 2 available seats at 6 pm on a Friday (and the last parking spot in the lot). The bartender/server was very attentive and friendly. The fish and mushrooms were excellent and obviously made fresh to order. Being so busy, there was a lag or a bit of a kitchen miscommunication on food being ready, we waited 45 minutes, so a drink was given on the house - very nice. They were having a meat raffle, which was easy to participate in because the person handling it came to our table. The ceiling is high, so the acoustics made it a bit of a challenge to hear my friend talking, so we had to lean in to hear each other. I'd for sure go back because it's in such a convenient spot, and their tap beer selection was pretty good with something for everyone.“
“Hats off to the owner Dude who served me during this winter storm!! I called him and he said that he was closing in 10 minutes.My 5 year old niece had just woken up from being on the oxygen machine. She is in the fight with cancer, when she woke up she wanted something fresh. I explained this to the owner and he said that he will keep his doors open for me.When I arrived to the hospital, she tried it and said YUMMY. This was the first thing she has tried in 4 days.God bless you“
“Been here a few times. Solid beer, lots of options, unique atmosphere. The winning point though is the owners. They're engaged, nice, and accommodating. We went in with our 2 and 4 year olds and they gave them suckers and a fun little whip cream treat!“
“We went to dinner on a Friday night, it was easy to make a reservation and they had plenty of openings.My friend is very gluten free and the menu was very gluten free friendly without extra charges. Most of their meals are made with corn.The food was amazing. We all sampled everyone’s meals, the tacos were delicious and very filling. We shared chips with guacamole and yuca fries. They were amazing! Their margaritas were large and delicious. I will absolutely be back!“
“I wouldn’t typically order a straight up, tofu appetizer but because it was so highly recommended by the server, we tried it. It was FANTASTIC! Super crispy amd flavorful and the sauce was spot on. What I love about this Restaurant is that you’re almost always able to get a table even if you don’t have a reservation.“
“This place is awesome!! The beer, the cocktails, the food, the service -- all amazing! In particular, the "Piggy Pie" is a must-get item any time I come here, it's so delicious. On my most recent visit, I got the special release barrel aged stout and wow was it incredible! The vibe is pleasant and casual, the QR codes for ordering at the tables are convenient and the staff is friendly. I highly recommend this place for pizza and drinks!“
“The food and service were good. The Atmosphere specifically the music kinda sucked... conversation while having to listen to hip-hop gangsta in the bedroom is not what a class restaurant should have on. I'm not bringing my kids there again.... private parties, play what you like. General crowd you'd be better off with some jazz, smooth or otherwise in the background.“
“This was the first time my friends and I ate here. We really enjoyed the experience. The food was great. My guests had Ahi Tuna Bowls and I had the Thai Rice Bowl. We all enjoyed our meals and they were reasonably priced. Great cocktail selection and Mocktail. We did not have any, but will be back in the evening to enjoy one of these. The server was good . The lunch crowd kept them hopping. Nice ambience.“
“I was very pleased that even though our reservation was 12:30, the sound level was quite reasonable and we didn't have to raise our voices to hear each other. Our waitress was very nice and attentive and we enjoyed our sandwishes very much. I did bring a new friend who feels the same as I do, so she might become a new customer. I do enjoy Mill Valley Kitchen. It is a hike for me; I live on the Mississippi River, but worth the trip.“
“One of my favorites bars, excellant food, drinks and service...Adam is an amazing bartender!!I had to edit my review...RE has EXCELLANT food and drinks...but the male bartenders are terrible. I was a regular customer, sometimes dining twice a week with friends. Last few times i was there the bartenders completely ignored us....finally..one of the ladies who worked there came behind the bar to mix us drinks. It was NOT busy. Another bartender refused to let me sample a beer. I quit coming after that:(“
“Such an amazing coffee shop! I will have to say their Coffee Flight is a bit pricier compared to other places I have had but is very delicious!! They give you an option if you would like your Coffee Flight Hot or Iced. I chose hot and they also ask what type of milk would you like in your coffee flight with the options of Oat milk, Whole milk, and skim milk, which is very nice! Lots of seating and they also have a brewery attached to the coffee shop with a lot of seating as well that you can sit at as well! The workers are very nice and polite!! Very clean coffee shop and so many cute little goodies such as candles, stickers and other Minnesota themed goods. The coffee tastes very high quality and loved each of the flavors that they offered in the coffee flight also I really love how beautifully decorated they are as well as the board that it comes with! So cute!! Will definitely come here again in the future!“
