“Food is great, servers are awesome and if you like bingo and trivia this is a must stop and check out!“

“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“

“This is Macklemore bar, and I called him the Great, king of purple, and so did you. And you are allowed to pop the text to see how much shit costs Tevin and I can tell you for a certain that my nephew Deven would kill a Man for me. If I asked him too, but he’s such a nice man and the best father to his sons. I don’t doubt for one second that too tall is on this team.“

“Awesome food !! Best service ever !!! Would go there to eat everyday if I could !!“

“This is one of the BEST food spots I have been to in the St. Paul area, I highly suggest eating here. The food is amazing, hot and the flavor is great. Came here for all you can eat breakfast every Sunday for only $20 per person!! Please check it out :)“

“The best hole-in-the-wall spot for coney dogs! The food is always delicious, and the old-school atmosphere gives it so much character and charm. It’s the kind of place that feels like a local favorite the moment you walk in. If you’re craving a great coney dog and a nostalgic dining experience, this is the place to go.“

“Food is good. Stopped in for dinner last night. 12 bucks for a Sam Adams Oktoberfest on tap seems a little excessive.“

“Highly recommend! Excellent. The restaurant is cozy and tropical and you feel like you’re on vacation. But the showstopper is the food. Pricey but worth every penny! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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“

“I have a son who has Celiacs Disease and eating out is always a challenge. Not only is it hard to find places that can accommodate his dietary needs, it’s even harder to find places that have ‘staples’ that actually taste like he remembers before he had to cut out gluten. I heard about this place on a GF Facebook page and my wife I decided to make the 40+ minute drive from home as an end of the week treat. We couldn’t have been more pleased. The menu was actually hard for him to choose from so we almost let him try it all. We started with fried pickles and cheese curds, one of which was completely new to him, and the other which is a rare thing to find because of the batter and non-dedicated fryers. Both were amazing. For his main course he did fried walleye and tater tots. There was so much food that he was able to make it into two more meals the next day and they reheated perfectly in an air fryer at home. For dessert he had GF deep fried Oreos and ice cream. That dish was completely devoured with no leftovers remaining. My wife’s and my meals were not GF, but there was more options than we could handle and those dishes were also amazing.

The ambiance was typical of a small town sports bar/pub, which is again a rarity in terms of finding that kind of food in that type of establishment. Our server was very friendly and the person who delivered the food was equally friendly. I suspect he was an owner or the manager and he answered additional questions we had about the food prep and handling of the GF ingredients and cooking. We will definitely be making the trip back!“

“This place is a solid dive bar that takes you right back to the '70s. It's not fancy, just good drinks at great prices. The place is super relaxed, and the crowd is friendly and laid-back. It’s in the heart of downtown. This bar is an adults type place, though—wouldn't recommend bring the kids. If you're looking for a no-frills spot to grab a drink and relax, this is it. Highly recommend!“

“Great people and cheap drinks! Great band that plays Wednesday’s from 7-9 no cover!“

“I cannot speak on the food but I can speak on the people who work for the company and own the business. They are amazing, I saw them on Joshlilj’s Facebook page and they gave him 20 elotes for free to hand out to the homeless and that right there tells me their business deserves a 5 star rating.“

“Sampled a few different Thor ciders at Ciderfest 2022, and honestly… they were fantastic. I may have found my new favorite Cider Brewer!“

“Friday nights karaoke 730 til 1130pm Great sound, friendly fun place...“

“Visited soft open tonight as we saw the info when we were in White Bear Lake on Sat. Service and atmosphere were great, a bit disappointed in menu and pricing as it is the same as the Alchemist. $90 for pizza & 3 beverages!!“

“Check out the Saturday afternoon specials in the bar.“

“We have shot at Royal golf club many times and the staff and venue are incredible. We highly recommend them to host your wedding! The outdoor space is beautiful and by the lakeside and the indoor space is updated and modern with bright white walls and large stunning windows overlooking the course. The food is outstanding and the space is perfect for hosting your wedding“

“This is an absolutely wonderful male dive bar, it's quiet and has quick service... if you are a female watch out for Steve(married) and be ready for probably too much attention because it's all older men and a couple biddies around.“

“Stepped out on a Monday just to be outside for a little bit on a late night. Hey, don't have cognac, but josh.The server was extremely nice.
And put out some good vibes. I didn't try any food maybe next time but they do have a pool table in the dark board pool tabs. So maybe next time on that too“

“The new owners are amazing as well as the staff. Kirkwood BBQ has joined them in the kitchen and the food is a must have! Love the outdoor area and the space inside.“

“I've picked up a few orders from the restaurant lately and dined in last night. It is always great to see the staff genuinely having a great time at work while treating others like they're part of the family lakes again and we love it and will come back!“

“The atmosphere was amazing from the get-go! Everyone was warm, friendly, and professional. Our experience was one thousand times amplified by the excellent service from Annie; she was friendly, personable, knowledgable, and amazingly attentive. Anyone who values good service should spend their time at Cossetta’s“
