42 Best Seafood Restaurants near Spring Lake Park

“Went to try the birria tacos. Our group decided to share a few items for more variety. Had never had pupusas, we tried three flavors. Birria tacos were amazing. Pupusa were also very good, liked adding the slaw and sauce for more depth. The flautas were huge servings. Beans were the best I’ve had in the cities. Tasted just like my friends moms beans from Mexico. Ended the evening with the churro which were also incredible. Fresh with a hot sweet center. Great prices, very clean and inviting sit down restaurant and couldn’t beat the service. Beautiful back drop for photos at the front. Can’t wait to come back.“

“Absolutely amazing! Was my first time there today and it certainly won't be the last! The people are amazing, food is phenomenal! Only a few minutes away from my home. I think I am going to become a regular! Most definitely recommend! I got the combo 1. Next time will get a lot of skewers!“

“The staff at this restaurant could not have been more accommodating..we were treated like royalty for our special anniversary evening..even the manager brought us champagne!..the dinner was a 10..I can't remember having a more perfect evening..this place really knows how to satisfy customers..best spot ever!“

“What an experience, I wanted to splurge my better half of 22yrs and booked our 22nd anniversary dinner here last September. (late on the review)Food: Both our stakes were cooked to perfection, the bread plate is something to look forward to and the recommended wine was perfectly matched to our entrees.Service: The service it self will make you want to come back, the minute you walk in you are being greeted and complimented. Every person that we spoke to wished us a happy anniversary, they even had heart confetti spread out on our table (did not look tacky at all). At the end of dinner they brought out a complimentary desert plate. I am not at all a desert kind of person but the cheesecake that they had was something I continue to think about and will most certainly will not forget.For a couple that can't do these extravagant outings all the time, it was an experience we will never forget.Thank you all for the great service and for making us feel so welcomed and not at allout of place.“

“We had a delightful time celebrating with family Friday evening. We have visited your restaurant from our homes in northeast Minneapolis and Bloomington several times over the last several years, and have enjoyed your classic and innovative menu which never disappoints. You are well worth the drive!“

“It is the best place to find the Indian food. We are traveling from Chicago to Minnesota on the weekend and this restaurant is the best spot to enjoy the morning breakfast dosa and Chola bhatura . Ambience, Taste, quality and quantity all are five out of five. God bless , running very good business and giving the best customer service as well. Must try one time.“

“We have never eaten at a restaurant like Legendary Spice. It was an interesting experience. Our waiter was very helpful directing us through the process. There is seriously so much food. The steamed dumplings and sesame balls were absolutely amazing. I ordered the Mushroom hot pot & my boyfriend ordered the spicy beef pot. His was definitely HOT, so not my thing, but he enjoyed it. You can make nearly unlimited choices in Chinese veggies & meats.“

“We recently had dinner for 9 on a Friday night to celebrate my Mom's 80th birthday and our godfather's 90th. We brought along a menu that we had from the 1960's to show staff . . . prices have changed, but not much else except the carpet, which is as it should be . . . quality is quality! As my Mom noted, we had a DINING experience; we were not just quickly and mindlessly served. Because of that, us younger-fold will be back to JAX to enjoy that experience. But for one night, the JAX staff and owners helped our parents and godfather celebrate old times and again enjoy a "night out on the town" they will not soon forget! For that, we THANK YOU, JAX Cafe!!!“

“Wonderful meal. Ate at the bar, so the noise level was a little higher than rest of the restaurant. Bar staff are the best so far during my stay. Had the. lobster, scallop, & shrimp meal. All were perfectly cooked. Tried the chocolate mousse for desert. It could feed 2 or 3. Will definitely return.“

“RJ Riches is a local treasure that needs to be experienced by all. The food portions are legendary and I have never actually finished a meal here, so it’s a gift that keeps on giving.The diner used to be quite outdated in a cool retro way. Now it’s just a regular dine with blue decor. Stop in if you’re hungry, so definitely won’t leave hungry.“

“We ate here in celebration of a birthday and it was perfect. The decor is light and colorful. The stained glass art near the bar was beautiful. Loved the giant fish art and glass coral-lIke lighting. We were seated at a booth for private conversation. Very cozy and lovely Our server was wonderful. Never rushed us. Walked us through the menu. His suggestions were right on. We started with the crab cake and shrimp cocktail. Both were delicious and beautifully presented. The cocktail sauce with the shrimp had a kick to it. Very fresh. For my entree, I chose Barramundi. It was served with spinach and white beans. The nice crisp on the outside of the fish combined with the rest of the plate provided a lovely mix of tastes and textures. Very good. All others enjoyed their entrees very much. We shared a side of lobster fried rice but my meal was enough and I didn't try it but all others loved it. The sides are perfect for sharing. We finished with two desserts. The chocolate one was described by our server as 'count chocula-like' and he was right on. The marshmallows and crispy chocolate coating on the mousse was decadent. We also had the praline puff which was huge. Very light and tasty. They offer valet parking but we found street parking right across the street on a Sunday night. It's definitely a higher end restaurant. Our bill for 4 was over $500 but it was an exceptional experience in atmosphere, service, and especially the quality and taste of food. We will definitely be back. Loved it.“

“Met here for dinner on a weeknight. It's a good Vietnamese restaurant. Not sure if it is a must try place but a good spot if you're nearby. They are known for their egg rolls at the MN State Fair and Reader's Poll Award in 2022. Vibes & Aesthetics * A casual restaurant with lots of space! There is a private room that fits about 25 people. Might be a good spot if you're needing a space like that. Our Order * Vermicelli salad (egg roll) - I thought there was too many egg rolls on top. I also like my salad more wet (so more dressing) so I threw my egg roll sauce in. * Egg rolls - My friend ordered the egg rolls. If you don't know, Vietnamese egg rolls are larger and the wrap is a rice wrapper which makes it extra crunchy. * Cream cheese wontons - They seemed fried for a little longer than I'd like. They also have green onions in them so the flavor is quite strong. * Pho - My friend ordered the pho and liked it. It doesn't come out appetizing because there's a lot of cilantro floating at the top. After mixing, it was good! Service * We were well served. I did find something in my water and kindly asked for a new cup of water.“

“Solid menu. Food prepared well. Reasonable value. Sarna's isn't alone with the trend of crossing a sports' bar with a better menu, so the issue may be more with me for not embracing that trend instead of Sarna's for employing it. Food is very, very good.“

“It was our anniversary had an excellent experience. We were welcomed with confetti on the table. Rhett our server was great , very attentive and gave great advice about various items. We ended our evening with a complimentary delicious crème brûlée with a happy anniversary written in chocolate on the plate. Thank you!!“

“Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted and seated by a friendly lady who exuded genuine hospitality.Our server, Terry was incredibly attentive and accommodating, making us feel right at home. We indulged in a feast of culinary delights, including the mouthwatering soup dumplings, tantalizing hot and sour dumplings, flavorful scalded chili handmade noodles, and perfectly crafted scallion pancakes. A special tip: don't miss out on trying them with the chili oil for an extra kick of flavor!Overall, our visit was nothing short of exceptional. From the ambiance to the service and, of course, the delectable dishes, this tea house exceeded all expectations. A definite must-visit for anyone in search of a memorable dining experience in Minneapolis.PS: the price is not label on the physical menu, but the scannable QR code have the price on it“

“Everything we ordered is AMAZING! Food came out hot and fresh. half shells Oysters and the oysters shots were fresh and DELICIOUS! The shrimp Carm.. Diablo is flavorful. My husband had their chicken quesadilla and he said it’s probably the best quesadilla he’s ever had. Haven’t had Mexican food this good in a really really long time. Probably the best I had in Mn. Definitely going to come back and try out other items.“

“JJ's is the best. You can get a load of fish for a decent price, and other options too if you dont like fish. I get a teriyaki chicken bowl which is great and the steamed chicken buns are the best I've had! They always make the order accurately and are friendly and accomodating!“

“Excelente atención agradable ambiente... Comida muy buena ...la comida peruana muy buena...la chicha sour excelente...mención especial al Cheff Peruano Raúl Jacobi...preservando los auténticos sabores peruanos... 100 % recomendado...no se arrepentirán...y la Anfitriona y dueña le Restaurant Monica1,000 puntos a su personalidad y atención personalizada...“

“Casual and cozy bar/diner (actually never been on the "restaurant" side) with a big menu. We always try to get a seat at the bar, good luck! Usually always busy and bustling. Bartenders and servers are friendly and attentive. Go here for breakfast, lunch, and dinner... sure to satisfy!“

“We've been here several times and have never been disappointed. Today's order was Margarita Grande, Elote, Shredded Pork Chimichangas & Beef Enchiladas. Everything was very, very good. The beef is seasoned in I way I have yet to duplicate at home. Just Delicious! We'll be seating in one of their booths again-soon!“

“I don’t know much about Pho. I don’t think it’s for me. My daughter loves pho. So we checked out PHOEVER.Fast service, lots of options. Very tasty pho. I liked it. Large portions. We also got the pork egg rolls. Those were very good.If you like pho, you should check out PHOEVER.Parking: Parking in the ramp behind the building is probably easiest. Free parking. Otherwise the free lot across the street has plenty of parking also, but it’s a pain, and dangerous, to try to cross.“

“Sidewalk Kitchen is a name that does not seem obvious to have Chinese cuisine. I think they are a solid takeout and eat in when I am crabing some Chinese food. A friend of mine from China recommended this spot. She said that it had options closer to what she would order in China, so it was more authentic to her. One day, I ordered some garlic coated string beans with white rice, an order of fried chicken wings, and #76. Szechuan Spicy Diced Chicken with fried rice. The service was decent and attenive, the food was flavorful, and the portions allowed us to have seconds. For two, the bill was also reasonable. When we asked for some soy sauce and hot oil, the flavor of the food definitely was enhanced. The food tasted fresh and appeared to be fresh off the press, so that makes me happy to know that things move quickly through this place and they have a steady flow of patrons in the University of Minnesota area.“

“Very cute decorations, love the sea and fishing atmosphere. The service is fast and polite. The food was served very hot and fresh! Loved the unique choices like hush puppies and catfish. The hush puppies' flavor was spot on, too! Delicious! If you like seafood, give this place a try.“

“My coworkers and I pop in here when we meet up for drinks after work. The food is solid and the drinks are always good. It's kinda hidden where it is right now, but with the buildings that are popping up around it it should get more traction. They have a patio for the summer and a clean space to eat and drink inside.“

“Bring a friend/loved one, & get a pound of black mussels, a pound of shrimp (peeled), with the house sauce blend, medium spiciness, then on the side get a 2-piece of fried catfish to dip in the sauce, & the fries come with a tasty dipping sauce.Take the bibs & gloves that they offer you.With a couple drinks + tip; it will be close to $50, but it's soo good!Parking: Shares a lot with its strip mall.“

“The food came fresh and full of flavor. Me and the husband had a bite of everything and was pleasantly surprised as seafood boil can be a hit or miss. We ordered the jerk chicken with rice, gyro, burger and the #2 - 2 crab clusters and 1lb of shrimp.“

“JDs is great. Wonderful food and drinks, and wonderful people. Perfect way to start an evening before a Twins game or show. Valet service is a no brainer. Love the buddy bowl with grilled catfish. Steaks are awesome too. Pat, Annie, Jodi, Elaina, Erick, junior, Jim and the rest of the friendly crew provide wonderful service. You’ll leave happy.“

“I've been grabbing walleye sandwiches and fries from Mac's for over ten years now, and the product is delicious every time. Awesome food, superb service. The location is small and can't fit or seat many people, so plan to take-out or sit outside. You don't go to Mac's for the atmosphere; you go there for the superb fish & chips (and delish taffy).“

“Found this spot 2 years ago and we (coworkers) have been going regularly for lunch ever since. We've tried a few things off the menu, but the main thing we're ordering is the beef noodle soup "pho". IMHO best 'dark' broth pho in the area! --probably because there isn't any other spots within a 5min drive from our work place. I mean we have tried other spots further, but nothing has beat this spot in terms of flavor. There's probably 2 that are close, but none has us wanting to go back for more. Service-wise you can expect the expected. On busy days, service is slow. You can also expect that sometimes food will take 15+minutes. It's also possible you might have to grab more napkins on your own if you need more. It's also possible you might have to ask for more water as well. What I'm saying is, the service is there. They're all friendly and nice people. Do be warned though, you might hear the aunty be demanding sometimes to new workers. The place is nice. Situated between a small pet store and a sports store. I don't think any of the tables are wobbly, but don't blame me if there is, personally, we've only really sat in a few booths and tables. They've got plenty of tables. I don't recall any music, but I do recall just a slideshow of their menu on repeat. Just sneaking in my 'ambiance' piece. Anyways, pro tip: if you're trying to grab a quick lunch and dine-in, you can order ahead of time on the phone. Another pro tip: during lunch hours, lunch special portion is a good option if you're not able to eat a whole entree by yourself. So if you see something you want and it's on the lunch special, give it a go. Just some info on things I've tried: Khao Soy is one of the best I've had in the Cities, unless someone can point me to a better spot. Chicken Lettuce Wrap is . Spicy chicken wing is hit or miss, but when it hits, it's . Don't expect the Pad Kra Pow to be like your typical Thai restaurant - this one is a light stir fried version without the fried egg and without the minced meat. Rah Nah is real good. Fried rice is . I highly recommend this spot. Note* get your spice levels correctly. Be warned, mild can be spicy.“

“I've long wondered where to find authentic Chinese food in the Twin Cities northern suburbs. We have a lot of Chinese buffet and takeout, but I don't think those places really claim to be authentic Chinese.House of Kirin's food is very close to the Chinatown food I've had in various places around the world. When we went, we bought from the dimsum menu and from the Asian Menu. (I didn't know there was a separate American Menu, too.)First, the dimsum. It's spendy but it is pretty good. The shrimp dumpling had a sweet and fresh taste, The Soup Dumpling was good, though I preferred it without the accompanying soy/ vinegar :). I loved the Cheung Fun rolls the best. The texture of the rice noodle roll was soft and silky, and the bbq pork (Charsiu) in it was so flavorful. Yum yum yum! My Mom was disappointed at how small the duck was for the price-- it was probably one duck breast.Off the menu, I LOVED the Yangzhou Fried Rice! I haven't had fried rice like this since I ate at the Los Angeles Chinatown. It was perfectly seasoned and had a great chicken to veggie to rice ratio. The steamed bokchoy was also phenomenal. For such a simple dish, it packed a good, clean flavor. The beef hotpot was okay.It can get quite pricey at the end of the day. However, because it was Family-style, you do get quite a bit of food. We definitely brought home a lot.“

“Holy cow! If I didn't live 30 minutes from this place I'd be in trouble - I'd be here ALL the time. The catfish is so well cooked and flavorful for such a good price. We had 2 pounds of crawfish with the spicy sauce and it was sooo good we finished the whole tray. The service was quick and friendly and I appreciated that our cashier helped us pick the perfect spice level for our boil. Overall this is the best Cajun place I've been to in Minnesota and will definitely be back again!“

“The older guy at the register is just happy taking money from blacks they do this in every community. He doesn’t smile very rude (smug looking) he doesn’t seem pleased to be there. The guy with the glasses is more welcoming. They obviously just there for the money“

“Top notch seafood! Many other options as well. Loved the paella! A great place to celebrate or just have an incredible meal! We have eaten at Smack Shack at least a half dozen times and we keep going back! Perfect option before a Twins game.“

“We stopped here on December 24th looking for fresh lutefisk and were pleased to find we could buy a 5lb filet. The lutefisk was amazing I was told and in the future we will be sure to call ahead and place the order. The manager was running back and forth with several options before we decided to just buy the 5lb filet. I can say I was amazed, they cooked it in the oven and when I returned that evening I could hardly smell anything other than the usual air fresheners we have in the house.So thanks again for helping keep a Christmas tradition alive and hope the girls hockey team does great.“

“The go to place for dim sum. Family owned with a younger kid running the restaurants which always means the food is amazing. The dim sum menu is voluminous with the traditional dishes. Servers don’t walk around with carts but will walk around with plates of food. Hard to find that nowadays with the traditional carts. The food here is always fresh and busy. Definitely recommend to everyone!“

“I went in a few hours before closing so it was a little empty and they only had one server but service was great and that man deserved a big tip. The seafood was delicious and the raw oysters were sooo good! The decor is very eye pleasing as well.“

“First time trying this place. Food was delivered to my job.Both the chicken and fries had lots of seasoning. The chicken wasn't dry but the seasoning as you can see was put on pretty heavy in same spots.Fries were limp and soft. Again decent with the seasoning. I recommend a try if you're looking for something different than popeyes or KFC.“

“My favorite dim sum place-only available early on weekends but it's my absolute favorite. The dishes range from small to large. Small being less costly and large being more expensive. This is my dim sum fix the ingredients are so tasty and refreshing. They have a about 30 plates worth of dim sum here. My favorite is their congee (they have 3 types), taro cake, lava bun, and the siu mai is crazy juicy good. The service is pretty nice and speedy too. I like the ambience as well. It's very clean but it can get busy ofc cause it's great! :D The waiters are super attentive and great at getting your order. I love the competency and speed in which they fulfill your order by crossing off things. I will say sometimes the water gets missed but it makes sense cause they're super busy. There is this one favorite waiter who kind of recognizes me as I eat there a lot. She's honestly great, and super sweet. Thanks Sister!“

“This place is a restaurant \\u0026 bar in a hotel (Embassy Suites by Hilton Minneapolis North). But the atmosphere is good, served beer is icy cold, foods are are hot and tasty (at least for me), what else do we want? If I might add, the waiter was welcoming and friendly. Maybe it might be a little bit pricy, but I liked it.“

“Ok guys, I've been seeing this place for a while, so I decided to stop by. Why, oh whyyyyy didn't someone stop me before?? I LOVED this food! Cajun Style Seafood! I had the "Seafood Delux" and my wife had the Catfish basket, both were supremely very good!! The fries were excellent with the catfish as well. The serv8ce is very good, very friendly and super nice!! That Lobster tail and snow crab, good Lord!!!! My eyes were floating, it was so good!! I loved it, my wife loved it and I know, YOU WILL LOVE IT!!! COME BY AND TRY THESE GUYS, YOU'LL BE HAPPY!!“

“Amazing food! Delivered hot and fresh. Great flavor and price. Feels like northeast can be a little lacking in the not overly trendy Indian food market and this place blew us away! We will absolutely order again. Samosas, naan, tikka masala and matar paneer were all “
