“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“

“One of my family’s favorite restaurants! And special shoutout for accommodating my husband’s to-go request last night for a “deconstructed” MN Poutine for me (his very pregnant wife). I happily reconstructed it for lunch today and was in preggo-lady heaven because my cravings were satisfied. 10/10 always!“

“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!“

“Wonderful local bar! Family owned“

“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!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Lunch today for the first time at Mallards BAYSHORE - the fish fry was excellent, cozy pretty interior, service was top notch. Can't wait to come back, the happy hour looks fun!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Everything is always awesome here! Highly recommend!“

“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 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!“

“My husband and I moved to Hastings a little over a year ago and around that time we went here several times with awful service, and food, so we stopped going. About 6 months or so later we tried again and it’s definitely better. Tonight there were several mistakes with my to go order and Theresa the manager went above and beyond to make things right. I can tell big improvements have been made and I wanted to acknowledge that and let management know that it’s noticed and appreciated.“

“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!“

“We attended the Mother’s Day brunch today. Oh my gosh! Great selection of brunch food items, desserts and beverages. The food was delicious! Quick table side service. Friendly staff, from host to table bussers. Loved the hints of flowers on each table, the very large flower arrangement when walking in and the ice sculpture!! The views, prices, cleanliness and family friendly environment will have us coming back. Thank you!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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“

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

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

“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 food! Great staff.“

“Good food, great service, reasonable prices.“

“10/10 respectful of health codes and laws, keeping untrained pets out of the restaurant.“

“Very clean location nice and friendly staff but most of all the food is so freaking good. I got a crispy chicken sandwich and a mushroom and Swiss burger this time sooo yummy no lie. The fries are fresh and even tho it's winter the mixer was right on the money“

“Niki is the best server ever at the Cottage Grove location. We come almost every Friday with our 6 kids. She knows what everyone likes to drink before they order. She is fun, attentive and an absolute pleasure. We will keep coming back!!! We’ve told others!!!!

Parking: Easy and convenient“
