48 Best American Restaurants near Newport

“If anyone would like a good restaurant to eat at I would suggest going to the North Pole restaurant in Newport Minnesota. The staff are nice and when you ask them for something they will get it for you right away.“

“Great food friendly staff“

“Hands down one of the best buffets I’ve ever been to! Tinucci’s in Minnesota completely exceeded my expectations. From the perfectly cooked fish and juicy chicken to a fresh variety of nine different salads and a dessert table that felt like a dream—everything was incredible. But the true star? The prime rib. And yes, I got the coveted end slice—tender, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The service was phenomenal—warm, friendly, and attentive from start to finish. What made it even more special? The owner's grandson was there, helping out and greeting guests with genuine kindness. It’s clear that Tinucci’s is more than a restaurant—it’s a place built on family tradition, pride, and community. This family-owned gem has been serving Minnesotans for over 70 years, and you can feel that legacy in every detail—from the food to the service to the atmosphere. I never would’ve discovered this hidden treasure if I hadn’t followed the Hidden Places in MN page, and I’m so glad I took the chance to venture out. If you haven’t been to Tinucci’s—go. You’ll leave full, happy, and already planning your next visit.“

“We were here for dinner over the weekend and everything about this place was phenomenal we tried multiple things off of the to share or not portion of the menu and loved every bit of it. The whole grilled fish our waitress mentioned rotates depending on what is available fresh and it was cooked to Perfection and probably our favorite thing all weekend. The cocktail menu is unique and everything that we had the opportunity to try was delicious I highly recommend doing the cocktail flight to anybody who doesn't have a favorite spirit. Staff was incredibly friendly and knew what they were talking about if you had questions. To those looking at going here reservations are a must!!!! Great atmosphere as well“

“Love the atmosphere and food, and we love sitting in Lauren S’s section. Always happy and helpful!!“

“Always a fabulous meal - thank you!!“

“We went here 6 years ago and enjoyed the food. Came back in February 2025, right before it was scheduled to close, and the food was pretty bad. Not sure if the quality digressed or our personal standards increased. Either way, sad it’s gone but the food wasn’t anything that will be missed.“

“I visited the Bayshore location in Glendale, Wisconsin for lunch. I used the coupon for $5 off & it was absolutely outstanding. I will be back for sure.“

“Excellent Italian Hoagie!“

“Our first time there on Wednesday night. Service was excellent, Kendra was fantastic. The deviled eggs with shrimp was awesome The six of us all had something different from the scallops to the walleye to the salmon all fantastic. There was also dessert like bread pudding to banana cream pie, also fantastic. Can’t wait till our next dinning experience. It will be real soon!“

“Love the updated interior. Brings life back to a very enjoyed establishment. Always nice to see new and old faces.“

“We recently got married (October 2024) and Lake Elmo Inn catererd our wedding. It was absolutely AMAZING! We had the prime rib carving station and the walleye as well as the duck soup and salad. Our guests are still talking about the food. We decided to upgrade to the "LEI Experience" which means each of your guests get a warm hand towel, an intermezzo sorbet, and a chocolate covered strawberry!!! We were over the moon with the service on the night of the wedding and all our communication with LEI throughout the process. Special shoutout to Kayla G. who was the most patient, professional, and kind event manager! She answered every single one of my (many) questions and she did so with a smile! On the night of the wedding, we were SO impressed with how fast the servers were able to get to each of our guest tables and keep the flow going. It was seamless, seriously. We cannot recommend Lake Elmo Inn Catering enough. They've total pro's and just know that you'll be in good hands. Thank you again to everyone on the team for your hard work to make the dream come true!! <3“

“They always have delicious food. Sloppy hot dago, chef salad, and daily specials are always my favorites.“

“Place has potential. Food is definitely solid. Not going to blow you away but it’s good. Smash burger could use more seasoning but loved the onions and meat skirt. Dry rub wings were lacking in flavor, needed a lot more seasoning. My friend got the Buffalo wings and loved the sauce on those. No home made ranch which is disappointing. Cheese curds are a small portion and are just frozen not hand breaded. Drinks are pretty spendy if you are not there for happy hour. Great spot before a wild game or other Xcel events but parking isn’t ideal and food isn’t good enough to seek out any other night. Place was dead on a Friday night.“

“Really good experience at the Culver’s in Woodbury Minnesota. Doing curbside and a shake tipped over in my car and the guy who brought it out was nice enough to go get towels and a new shake. Definitely did not have to do that. It was completely my fault, but he went above and beyond For customer that is a rare thing to find“

“Everything is always awesome here! Highly recommend!“

“Cheerful and professional service from Sydney. Great artichoke dip and nice smooth lattes. The hibiscus orange tart has great flavor, but a little odd in texture for me. A wonderful option within walking distance of the XCel and Science Museum.“

“We love coming here as a family! everyone is sooooo nice, and really likes to give off a good family vibe. Also don't think we have ever had a bad meal. we will keep coming back!“

“So many fresh-baked delicious treats! Local ice cream! Comfortable spot, and chess boards! My new local!“

“10/10 great front desk guy“

“A cozy, wood and window bar and grill that is so welcoming, I am charging my power wheel chair in here welcomed to do it by a beautiful and happy waitress. Not a drinker, but bet I get food here in the near future! On corner across from Mears Park who failed my electric access w pad locks! lol. Life is an adventure and its businesses like this that make a crisis, not one. Makes it a warm visit instead. Home town Saint Paul is represented here. Thank you Bulldog!“

“Good service and food. We were there right before closing. Great job“

“A fun place for food and beer on the river and bike trail. Extremely casual.“

“Needed some food for my tummy. Glad I stopped here.

While Culver's is a chain restaurant every location can be different. This location is one of the best.

I stopped with the gals and we ordered lunch. The restaurant was clean and bright. The tables and chairs were freshly cleaned. The bathroom was neat and tidy.

We were greeted quickly and with a friendly smile. Our orders were taken and we headed to the dinning room to sit.

Everything came out shortly and everything was made to order. Nothing missing or made incorrectly. The burgers were delicious and the fries are some of the best anywhere. The chili was amazing as well.“

“Highly recommend Holman's Table for events - it's a perfect gem of a space, great for corporate events, special dinners & happy hours, intimate weddings and more. Great service and food was delish.“

“My absolute favorite vegan eating establishment in the Twin Cities!! Friendly staff, amazing food!“

“Went at 9pm for date night.
This place restores the soul. Beauty abounds. Crisp Nightcap rocks.
Thoughtful NA options.

3 deviled eggs, not 4? Boohoo. Burger is worth at most, $15, not $21.
Bar food is telling me: "You should just eat in the restaurant, you fool!" Not at all bad, not at all great.“

“Excellent Restaurant. You will enjoy dinning outside the Restaurant during summer mild sunshine. Food is great and fair price.“

“I've had this place in my want to go list forever. I live quite close, and I'm mad at myself for wasting the last few years not coming here. I had the special breakfast burrito. For the love of all that's breakfast, make it permanent. It was one of the best I've ever had.“

“It has become our Friday night go-to place. Great service, Super nice staff, and AMAZINGLY tasty food. I’m working my way down the menu and haven’t tried everything, but everything I’ve tried has been great!“

“The vibes and food are immaculate.“

“Unbelievably good! Stellar customer service and hands down the best burger I've ever had. The bacon cheese fries are a MUST.“

“I have been going to HyVee for breakfast every Friday for the past 3 years. The food has always been excellent but the stand highlight for the five of us each week has always been our server Denise. She has made the experience at HyVee delightful and memorable. She is a HyVee treasure“

“Some of the best food that side of the Pecos. Been there twice in the last couple weeks it's amazing. highly recommended

Vegetarian options: There is a chef working there I'm sure he can accommodate any type of special order

Dietary restrictions: I had a diabetes-friendly option

Parking: I didn't count them but I bet there's parking 400

Kid-friendliness: It is a bar and restaurant but I've seen kids playing outside that live in the marina. They played with my puppy dog.

Wheelchair accessibility: Parking lots on the same level as the restaurant it's a quick roll“

“Really good food.. Service was pretty fast for how busy they were“

“Consistently quality food great popular atmosphere and is extremely well run and comfortably clean! I will be back again & again“

“Great food Chef Isaac! �“

“Always friendly service clean restaurant, and great food. Culver's is a Midwest staple that you shouldn't pass up on for quality fast food. Also, I love that they will hire those with mental challenges and people like me on the spectrum!“

“Waitress was nice, but slow more worried about her friend birthday and singing to them than serving us. Had to wait and wait.

Kid-friendliness: All they have is a menu that you doodle on.

Wheelchair accessibility: Handicap parking and entrance“

“Skinner's did an amazing job catering our U of M Employee Appreciation event...EVERYONE was Happy. Thank you!“

“My favorite pizza in the cities“

“The food here is always excellent! Quick, hot, and pretty reasonable on the price! We always get extra fries because they’re so dang delicious! My boyfriend always gets the Philly cheesesteak.

My favorites are the tenders and the fried fish! Only thing that hasn’t been as good as I’d are the shrimp, they’re sometimes a little on the soggier side, but I think that’s on me for not getting to it fast enough.

Overall a great place!“

“Brandi was amazing! She knows the menu well, and created such a phenomenal atmosphere all around for me and my friend. The food was amazing and drinks were perfect! Thank you!!“

“Too expensive for what you get. Food was good but nothing fancy like the price reflected. Can get very loud as with our experience being seated in the same room as a large award recognition party. Service was good. Very cool old space with lots of history.“

“I’ve dined in and have had ordered on door dash and every time the food is delicious! This last time i dealt with Miguel on the phone to alter my order not only was the food amazing the customer service was customer servicing!! Way better than a few years ago I’m very pleased!“

“Great place to visit before and after Wild games!!!!“

“Great service, really good food, and the drinks were my favorite part!“
