50 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.“

“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.“

“Great food friendly staff“

“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!!“

“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 quality, found it to be very impressive.“

“So happy to see Dark Horse open and vibrant again! We couldn’t choose what to get, so we ordered an extra entree so we didn’t miss out. The chicken sandwich is a must, the mushroom burger was the perfect comfort food, and the meatballs/pasta was the perfect entree to make sure we had leftovers. If you like a creamy Caesar dressing, you’re going to LOVE that as well.

Congrats Sarah & Shane for the wonderful menu and atmosphere!!“

“Great good and service. Went there with some friends from work for lunch today and we loved it. Everyone was so friendly“

“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!“

“The Bulldog has the best food and drinks, and Melissa is the best server in town.“

“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“

“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“

“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.“

“My go to spot when I'm craving a Philly, best one I've had in the cities for sure 🔥. On top of having amazing food, the service is second to none as well! This food truck is a MUST TRY!“

“I needed to kill some time before going to the the iihf World juniors hockey tournament and stopped in. I ended up spending most of my time before and after the game there. The food was excellent and Melissa the bartender made the experience wonderful. Very friendly atmosphere and the drinks are poured well and come out fast. Highly recommend to anyone going to anyone looking for a place to go before the game.“

“Best Culvers I have been to in the Twin Cities. Staff are wonderful and care a great deal! I go out of my way to head to this location because the staff are so friendly and the food is made so well! Burgers, Fries, Chicken are never too greasy, they change out the oil regularly and always salted appropriately. Love this location, keep it up! 🥰“

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

“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.“

“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“

“Over all best experience I have had. Thank you so much and I’ll be coming here more often. I am just starting my vegan journey and this place makes great food! The staff is super friendly too“

“Great food Chef Isaac! �“

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

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

“My family we love coming here. This is the 4th time we are here. The services at the front, take us to seat and serve us all great. They open the door for us to go in and coming out. They love kids and okay with my 2 years old baby girl walk around because she don’t want to sit. Our server and the manager come ask us all the time if we need anything. I like how they did this because it make myself feel comfortable and at ease eating in the restaurant. I like how they come take our empty plates away so our table is not full of plates. GREAT SERVICE!! We will definitely come again and again.“

“Great food and drinks! Only drawback is the bar stools.“

“Good food, great service, reasonable prices.“

“Mama's has the best food for your event - from Pizza to Mostaccioli and a superior Antipasto Salad. Thanks Tony for taking care of me for my Christmas Eve dinner. Brian J“

“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.“

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

“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!“

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

“Excellent food! Great staff.“

“Maybe another startup with great coffee ! 🙂😊“

“when we called in and ask about pizza special. They didnt tell both of them. I would have ordered the other special. Then it wasnt ready on time. The topper was I had to break a 20.00 for .3 cents. I know I am only one customer. I came in there at least once a week. Because of the .3 cents not because of the other two problems. I will not be back.“

“The vibes and food are immaculate.“

“I have been wanting to go here for years ever since Mendoberri closed. We came here for a work holiday party for about 20 people. Food was delicious and unique (and lots of vegetarian options), cozy vibe, wonderful drinks & great service! I plan on coming back soon and would highly recommend!p“

“We stopped in for lunch today, what a beautiful place! They had an unanticipated crazy lunch rush they weren't prepared for and despite that, were accommodating. They have a great menu overall. We ended up having the soup and salad (strawberry cashew and house salad) and they were delicious. I'm looking forward to coming back out to try their dinner menu.“

“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“
