45 Best American Restaurants near Sauk Rapids

“We love going to Rollie's which is why we chose them to host our son's groom's dinner last night. We planned it a couple months in advance, spoke with a few of the staff and everyone was great! Fast forward to last night...we all arrived at different times and our server Landon made many trips back and forth to get beverages covered immediately! I had the food order all ready for him, the kitchen manager was so helpful...our food for 25 people came out fast and our group loved every bit of it...we did pizza and wings buffet style. Everybody had a wonderful time and kept commenting how great the food was! Thank you Rollie's and extra thanks to Landon for such a great job!!! BTW, if you're looking for the best wings in the area-this is the place!“

“This place is hands down the best restaurant in St. Cloud. I've never had a bad meal and the staff is awesome! Thank you for being so great!“

“Went out for veterans day in St cloud, mn. Love that Applebee's honors veterans with a free meal. It means a lot. Max was the best server. He was bouncing around like crazy but still gave us the best service ever. He was so attentive and caring. Every restaurant needs more people like Max.“

“When we want to go out for a GREAT dinner this is where we go. The food is always great. The service has always been great. Dallas P. was our waiter last night along with some other nights and along with him all the servers have been top shelf. We have never been disappointed here.“

“A surprising find when we were looking for a restaurant with a quiet side room for a small family celebration. My grilled salmon was great & our server, Mia went out of her way to be sure we had everything we might want. There was even a bar for those who wanted something to drink. Thanks for a great venue.“

“Best food in town ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I'm an over the road truck driver, I enjoy a good burger. Have been to all 48 states multiple times having a burger for dinner. I do have to say this is the best burger I've had in all the 48 states. This flying j/pilot truck stop right here will now be my go-to truck stop for the night just so I can eat at this restaurant. Thank you for taking pride in your craft!“

“Muy bueno y muy buen servicio 👍👍“

“Great place. Food is awesome“

“Very warm welcoming atmosphere. Even though I don’t speak their native language, I didn’t feel out of place or unwelcome. They speak perfect english too, so understanding each other was not awkward. The food was hot and flavorful, and didn’t make me feel bloated and guilty although the portions are enough for two (or three). Glad I found this place while in St. Cloud. Both visits were worth the 15 minute walk from the hotel.“

“The food was fantastic and really reasonable!“

“The food is exceptional, it's fresh, homemade & delicious!! Will definately be back. We were a party of six who ate there for the first time & everyone was impressed with the food & a great server. Highly recommended!!!“

“I have been going to Bo Diddleys for over 30 years and Bo Diddleys subs are the best except for the fact that they switched to Miracle Whip from the traditional Mayo. I remember them trying this switch years ago and they did end up going back to Mayo. At least give us a choice between Miracle Whip and Mayo. Remainder of menu is great.“

“Greatest fries, wonderful old fashioned burger. Fun experience. Good value“

“we ate there on Tuesday. my first time there. it was very good. and good service. thanks!“

“Great for team events! Their area for hosting a group, such as a baseball team, is a fantastic experience both for the food and the dedicated lanes. Plus the lanes having various games, like Monster Builder, keep the bowling fun for all ages!“

“G-Allen’s went above and beyond to accommodate our youth hockey team and their parents this weekend on very short notice. Our waitress was friendly, funny and well organized. Thank you so much!“

“Went with my husband for our anniversary. Had a great time. My husband is a meat eater but I am vegan and the waiter I believe his name was Andrew; was very helpful in telling me what I could and couldn’t eat. Was happy to hear a few of their vegetarian items can be made vegan/already are vegan. Food was delicious and the atmosphere was perfect.“

“Excellent food!! Great atmosphere!! The pride of Northside St Cloud!!“

“Could not tell you how many Culver's burgers I've had over the years. No issues here. So, I ordered a double cheeseburger here. When I received my order I only had one patty on my burger. I went back in and vocalized my dispute. I then got a burger patty in a box. This was peculiar. I did however return to my vehicle and addedbthe second patty to my then single burger and thus didn't have any problems. Wasn't charged for the single patty in a box so, really, no harm-no foul. Won't keep me from returning. 🫡“

“Friendly staff and great food“

“one of the best burgers I have ever had. Great atmosphere and fantastic service!“

“great noon specials, and awesome service from Jen.“

“I went to Job Sims house for a service call for his air conditioner not working. Jon immediately offered me breakfast as he is a cook at granite city. I politely declined and continued working. After I finished fixing his air conditioner Jon comes out with a plate of food saying it wasn’t in his nature to not give out food. I went back to the shop and ate the best homemade burrito I have ever had. Jon was not only one of the nicest people I have met but also one of the best cooks. You will not be disappointed going to granite city and receiving a meal made by Jon!“

“Great burger!! We will be back!“

“Great food and very friendly staff! Definitely will keep coming back!“

“Got some takeout, great service! The place itself is nice I really like how it’s an “underground” feel. I got th jumbo pretzel, that name does NOT disappoint! It was HUGE!! I also got the dry rub wings, pretty decent; but I wouldn’t come here for wings again. I’m definitely stopping by to try the specials they offer, as I’ve heard that’s the best part! Overall good experience, if you’re craving bar food, but not BAR food, stop here!!“

As well as very on top of the job. We couldn’t have had a better time. Thanks so much to the cooks and our two servers! You girls rock!“

“Best place for all food Walleye is the bomb“

“Shout out to Joe and his wonderful staff at Neighbor’s, St. Joe. They provided the perfect venue for my daughter’s baby shower earlier today! The taco bar was perfect, the staff attended to all our needs, everything was timely and exactly what was asked - could not have gone more perfect! Definitely a thumbs up from us - our guests commented how great the accommodations and food were as well. Much appreciated!“

“Love the location. Used to live around there. Nice hotel. Hot showers. Comfortable beds. Great place“

“my girlfriend and I came down from hoffman, MN for her late birthday supper and it was absolutely fabulous. The restaurant is setup in a very esthetic 1920's and older fashion with outdoor dining next to the river. We had the three little pigs entree and it not only tasted great but was a very big portion and reasonably priced for the amount. I highly recommend this place and we look forward to coming back in the future!“

“Friendly and helpful staff. Just wish our drinks stayed filled up more often. Food was pretty. Philly steak was pretty good. The appetizer cheese curds were really good. The mashed potatoes were a bit on the weird side and served a bit on the cold side. Otherwise the rest of the group liked their food. They do have some good gluten-free options which are group appreciated.“

“Server/ waitress was great. On it with refilling drinks/ estimating what was needed. Wasn't keen that the kitchen told her they were waiting 1 more minute to cook the jambalaya- she brought a free soup. But some of us were done eating when the jambalaya arrived. We recognized it was not her fault. As always the biscuits were amazing. Snow crab, lobster tails, shrimp scampi, shrimp Alfredo were all Great. The steak has great seasoning and cooked to our order.“

“Staff is great. There is a quiet soft spoken young manager or host who is absolutely lovely“

“We love to stay at the Kelly Inn, accommodations are great & having Green Mill there is just great!! Kelly Inn is in an easy location to get to & they do have ramp parking on site. There's a Star bucks & Caribou very near.. what a plus!!“
