“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“

“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“

“My girlfriend and I recently checked out Post American Eatery for the first time and had an awesome experience! The atmosphere was really cool and relaxed, and the staff was incredibly friendly. My girlfriend ordered the Beef Ragu and loved it! The meat was super tender, and the sauce was just right. I went for the Prime Rib special, and it was delicious – cooked perfectly and packed with flavor. Our server was great, too – really helpful and laid-back. We're definitely looking forward to coming back and trying more dishes.

“Have been there for breakfast and it is in the top 3 (gotta count my husband as he cam cook). The breakfast side is like an old soda shop with sassy little signs. Service was awesome on both side the cafe and the bar. Do not want to give this away but Monday night 3.00 burgers, you cannot got wrong. Also the first place I have not had to tell the bartender that a strawberry margarita get sugar not salt. It is just a great little spot.“

“Culver's is always good; polite, clean and consistent.
Admittedly, we only stopped for a bio-break because they always have clean restrooms. Alas, something must have been in the beef that night (or the air - there was an air quality alert) as all stalls were full of patrons crafting thier own Flavor of the Day.
After a few impatient minutes, we moved on.“

“One of the nicest kept golf courses in the Twin Cites.“

“The piano player on Saturday evenings is amazing!!!“

“What we ordered was ok. The “ceviche” was just boiled shrimp with chopped onions, the shrimp was obviously not cooked with citric acid. Also there’s a “banh mi bowl” on the menu but the ingredients are Korean bulgogi and kimchi, nothing Vietnamese about it. You can’t just call a dish something because it sounds vaguely Asian to you. Good beer selection, cheese curds authentic.“
