“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“

“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!“

“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“

“Pauly at the bar was great. The food was excellent, the homemade ranch was the best we've ever had, the flake salt on the fries was perfect. The homemade pickles and sauce and cheese on the dark horse burger were all great. The chocolate torte was one of the best desserts we've ever had, it was just like the middle of a truffle-mmmmmm“

“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“

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

“Good food, realy liked the hash browns and bacon. Great with our kids, they let us split a kids plate which was super nice. Also, someone Secret Santaed us and covered out bill. to whoever that was thank you so very much and bless you!“

“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 haven't had much time to frequent this place much lately, but every time I do I have the time of my life. The staff is amazing, the food is incredible and the community is tight knit and welcoming. I couldn't have picked a better city to live in than St. Paul, and Pillbox is a major reason for it.“

“We stayed at the Marriott for a show at Grand Casino Arena. Ate dinner at Smorgies. Food was very good! No waitress, you order food from the QR code at each table, then bartenders run out to you. Everyone was very friendly and accommodating! Would eat there again! Very nice outdoor seating!“

“Kacey was awesome! She was super friendly, on top of everything, and made sure we had everything we needed the whole time. Our food came out quick and hot, and she checked in just the right amount. You can tell she actually cares about her customers. One of the best servers I’ve had at Applebee’s — she really made the experience great!“

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

“The drinks were poured strong and the burger had amazing flavor. However, the bartender was overwhelmed and you could tell the kitchen was running short staffed. When I placed my ordered for my burger I requested no onion and no garlic aioli. I watched the new waitress write that specifically. My burger came out with onions on it, no biggie I just took them off. I got half way through my burger and took a bite and there was special sauce on it. I spit it out, began gagging and it took everything in my power to not throw up all over. The new waitress came up and asked if I was okay. I begged her to take my plate away, and she got me a new water. My appetite was ruined. We were pushing time for our concert shuttle so we quickly paid our bill and left without complaint but we were surprised my meal wasn’t comped. I was super bummed I couldn’t finish the burger as it was SO good!! Attention to detail is important and I’m just glad I wasn’t allergic to something in the sauce!“

“The vibes and food are immaculate.“

“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“

“I went to Cottage Grove Culver's with a friend yesterday and was inspired to write a review because the service was well above average. My friend got the flavor of the day frozen custard, which was a devil's food cake chocolate flavor. It looked delicious and I said that out loud. One of the employees there, Brayden, overheard me say that and brought me a free sample. That was so thoughtful and the kind of service one might expect from a sit-down restaurant with servers. It makes me so happy when someone takes pride in their job and exceeds expectations. Besides the excellent service, I have always been impressed with the quality of Culver's food from burgers to salads to custard.“

“Desiree was great, very friendly and polite and actually knows waiter etiquette of
Not reaching over ppl or their food, that’s a lost art so it was refreshing hearing her say she “doesn’t want to reach over can I hand her the empty plate” 10 stars!!!“

“Our great Neighbors of Applebee's really to good care of us for lunch. The food was awesome and the manager and staff where so helpful. We had a big lunch order for our office and they did just awesome taking care of us. We will be back. Thanks, Blockadvisors team.“

“Excellent food! Great staff.“

“Wonderful dinner last night for a group of 8 people. The food was beyond anything I have experienced in a restaurant. Intricate flavors in each dish. I would highly recommend eating there!“

“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“

“Maybe another startup with great coffee ! 🙂😊“

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

“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.“

“Low key restaurant on the Mississipi river with a beautiful view. We went on a Sunday late evening when they had live music and it was very nice and not too busy. All the fried food was really good. The cheese curds are to die for and highly recommended. The broiled chicken and the fries were really good too. The only thing I would not recommend is the cheeseburger or the burger. It was dry, not tasty at all and it came absolutely plain. FYI: They also charged us extra to add lettuce and tomato.“

“AWESOME BURGERS!!!!!!!! 🍔“

“As someone who is born and raised in St. Paul. I can’t say enough nice things on Herbies. Just had Valentine’s Day dinner. Got a nice fire side table. Everybody from the front of the house to the back is always professional. Food is always great always accommodating if something isn’t right. Cece rocks!!!“

“Papas Bravas 😍 u must try them.“

“I highly recommend Mrs. Beth Abrams for her exceptional work. She specializes in forex and bitcoin investment, as well as funds recovery. Over the past three months, I have been utilizing her services, starting with an initial investment of $1,500. Thanks to her impressive trading skills, she helped me make over $12,000, and I've been consistently enjoying significant profits with easy withdrawals. The numerous testimonials from satisfied clients reflect the excellence of her services, and I am equally pleased with the results.“
