New American Restaurants near Oakdale, MN

“Wings are very good. Onion Rings to go are terrible. Greasy and cold. (It almost seemed like they gently warmed up yesterday's leftover onion rings). I have ordered onion rings in the restaurant before and they were hot and crisp.“

“Very high quality food. Steak was amazing and the salad was fantastic. Portions were great for the pricing. Lots of places now have poor salads and this place had an amazing salad. Very fresh and great mixed greens. Great service and easy parking. Would come back again and again.“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“If you’re searching for a place that turns dinner into a full-blown experience, Forepaugh’s in Saint Paul is it. We recently indulged in their curated Date Night menu, and from the first bite to the last spoonful of dessert, every dish exceeded our expectations. We started with the Fried Calamari, perfectly crisped and golden, served with a fennel saffron aioli that added just the right touch of brightness and complexity. It was a strong opening — light, flavorful, and gone far too quickly. Next came the Orecchiette, a pasta dish that somehow managed to be both comforting and elevated. The duck sausage was rich and deeply savory, while the broccoli rabe and Calabrian chile added balance with just enough bitterness and heat to keep the bite interesting. For mains, we shared the Petite Filet Surf & Turf and the Roasted Sea Bass — and honestly, I couldn’t tell you which one was better. The filet was melt-in-your-mouth tender, paired with a buttery lobster reduction that made each bite luxurious. Meanwhile, the sea bass was delicate and beautifully cooked, served over a creamy taro risotto that was both inventive and satisfying. The flowering cauliflower added a perfect seasonal, earthy crunch. And then came the showstopper — Baked Alaska. This dessert was nothing short of theatrical in flavor and presentation. The strawberry semifreddo layered with vanilla meringue and olive oil cake was both light and indulgent, ending our night on the sweetest high note imaginable. The ambiance was warm and romantic, the service was polished yet friendly, and the pace of the meal allowed us to savor each course without feeling rushed. At $150 per couple, this Date Night experience felt like a steal for the level of quality, creativity, and care that went into every plate. Forepaugh’s isn’t just a place to eat — it’s where memories are made. Five stars, hands down. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“You guys Rock... in every way!!! 💖 👍“

“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.“

“5 stars is not nearly enough stars for this place. I have celiac disease (severe wheat/gluten allergy) and when I saw gluten free cheese curds and gluten free fried pickles on the menu, I about cried. I haven’t had cheese curds or fried pickles at a sports bar since I was diagnosed 11 years ago. Their food is absolutely incredible- something you normally wouldn’t expect from a place like this. I’m so grateful to whoever created the menu!

Dietary restrictions: Tons of gluten free options! Designated fryer for the fried items listed as gluten free!“

“Incredible and perfect food“

“This was my first time and it won’t be the last. Thank you for a spectacular dinner last Saturday night. A few of my neighbors and I had a great time. Hopefully we can bring more people next time.“

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

“10/10 would recommend 😁 best sports bar around“

“A few times a year, I make a detour on the way to work for avocado toast with an egg and the fruit cup. I do not know how they do it, but every time the fruit cup is delicious. It also looks beautiful. Yes, lunch is amazing here, but don't sleep on breakfast. 😅“

“Great food Chef Isaac! �“

“because Cubfoods hires and stands behind people who abuse their customers.“

“Very demure ambiance. Not your average hotel bar. Bartenders are interactive, music choice is appropriate for all ages. Drinks come quick and go down easy. Clean restrooms, clean tables, clean bar, other patrons are respectful and friendly. Struggling to leave and check out other venues in the area, hard to one up this establishment.“

“The best tap list in the Twin Cities northeast metro and guaranteed to have everyone’s favorite appetizer and meal on the menu. It’s a must stop for anyone visiting White Bear Lake and has the best patio in the historical downtown area. Whether you are visiting for the first time or lived here your whole life, you’ll love this place!“

“A absolute gem of a restaurant in White Bear Lake. In town visiting family & so enjoyed our first time here last night. Very cool & well designed with a great vibe, beautiful bar area where you can comfortably dine also. Which is aso the main diningroom with views of the kitchen & Chefs creations. Food was out of the park; 2 chicken entrees & the Walleye-and let's not forgot the delicious chocolate mousse dessert! Will always plan a dinner here we visit again.“

“My husband and I were there for lunch today. The cooks were great and the Tuscan Flatbread and bacon cheeseburger sliders (Hubby) were so good. We had a nice conversation with I believe he was the manager and the server were so awesome. I will be sure to visit again soon.“

“Love it here. Great patio and Siobhan is the BEST bartender there.“

“Great food. Served hot which is nice“

“We had a 6:15 PM reservation. I only waited a minute before they sat us down.  Our server Natalie was very pleasant and you could tell she was working hard to take care of us. I had a three course special for $39 included in the crave starter salad, halibut and tiramisu. Everything was delicious. “

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

“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.“
