“Stopped in here for something to drink and to hang out for a bit as we were riding our bikes. Great vibe, they had volley ball outside and a DJ inside. This is a fun spot to hang out and have a good time with friends or family. Thanks again for the great experience.“

“Perfect little spot to sit on a summer afternoon and have a burger and a beer. The turkey burger was first rate, better than I think any one I've had at a restaurant in the Twin Cities. The service was friendly and quick, and little patio is pleasant, with the flowers and the cheery red umbrellas.“

“First time at the next stop bar and grill this last week and couldn’t have had a better or more fun experience! My mom brother and I stopped for drinks and pull tabs and we had a great bartender named Jamie! Mom and I went back again 2 days later and already felt so welcome and comfortable from Jamie:) will definitely be back and looking forward to it! :) also the burger my mom had gotten was a 10/10!!“

“What an awesome spot. Chill vibe, great service and fanfuckingtabulous selection of beer, whiskey and cocktails. Can’t wait to go back, love this place. Thanks again Brett!“

“Simply put, the best party in River Falls is HERE. Staff is on point, slings a mean beverage, and Shooter is just a great dude and runs an awesome bar. No kitchen but there's a popcorn machine and you can bring your own food in if you'd like. Live Music here is absolutely electric depending on who is playing. Get here, have a couple, and you're in for a great time.“

“Best Margaritas EVER!!! Loved the comedians.“

“Definitely the best bar in town. People of all ages and all types feel comfortable there. And I believe that is due to the atmosphere the owner and the bartenders create. I have seen lots of situations that might have gotten ugly at another bar shut down or turned into a laughing matter,thanks to the staff of Emma's.“

“Great food and staff.“

“It's always fun to stop into the harbor bar in Stillwater. The service is great from Donna mae, Jake, Sam, Pedro, and others. Coldest and cheapest White Claw's in town, $4.25. all roads lead to Harbor Bar. It's like Cheers, everybody knows your name. See you there.
5 stars. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

The outdoor space is beautiful and by the lakeside and the indoor space is updated and modern with bright white walls and large stunning windows overlooking the course. The food is outstanding and the space is perfect for hosting your wedding“

“We recently got married (October 2024) and Lake Elmo Inn catererd our wedding. It was absolutely AMAZING! We had the prime rib carving station and the walleye as well as the duck soup and salad. Our guests are still talking about the food. We decided to upgrade to the "LEI Experience" which means each of your guests get a warm hand towel, an intermezzo sorbet, and a chocolate covered strawberry!!! We were over the moon with the service on the night of the wedding and all our communication with LEI throughout the process. Special shoutout to Kayla G. who was the most patient, professional, and kind event manager! She answered every single one of my (many) questions and she did so with a smile! On the night of the wedding, we were SO impressed with how fast the servers were able to get to each of our guest tables and keep the flow going. It was seamless, seriously. We cannot recommend Lake Elmo Inn Catering enough. They've total pro's and just know that you'll be in good hands. Thank you again to everyone on the team for your hard work to make the dream come true!! <3“

“Stopped on a Thursday afternoon to see PT on the patio. The female singer performing was amazing. My wife and I had a couple happy hour apps including wings, nachos and cheese burger sliders. Everything was awesome! Only got a pic of the wings tho. We love this bar and look forward to returning again and again!“

“The piano player on Saturday evenings is amazing!!!“

“Great staff, great vibes! Coconut Tiger band approves woooo good times!“

“Let's not let minors drink and then boot them out at closing time without knowing if they are getting home safe.“

“We had been to this place when it was called Whiteys several times, but this was our first visit since the change in ownership.

First thing I noticed was they kept the fresh squeezed juice... YAY!!!! I enjoy a variety of cocktails, but a screwdriver with fresh OJ is near the top of my list. So big thanks for that.

I was perusing the menu and it didn't take long for me to notice the lasagna w/side salad. I am a lasagna hound and snob, and have tried it at many establishments over the years. This offering was outstanding, perhaps my favorite (not made by my wife, of course).

We will be back.

P. S. we used to boat on the river and visited Stillwater a lot, but not since COVID. Howard's has been on our radar for a while. Hearing more about it at the Wits Reunion show at the Fitzgerald motivated us to get it done.“

“What a unique hotel - beautiful stone walls and archways. Nice cafe and restaurant right there on property and easy walk to river or shops, restaurants and bars. Everyone was wonderful and very helpful. I only wish I could have stayed longer!“

“We had a fantastic time at No Neck Tony’s! I reached out to Jessica, the manager, to see if they could recreate my wedding’s signature cocktail as a surprise for my husband while we celebrated our 10-year anniversary. She was incredibly kind and even went out of her way to buy an ingredient they didn’t have on hand. The other cocktails were also excellent and the Halloween decor truly stole the show! If you're a Halloween lover like me, this place is an absolute must in October!“

“Every single dish we had was phenomenal! We gave compliments to the chef on truly inspired creations. Our favorite may have been the Brussels sprouts, but we truly loved everything we tried. The service was great - friendly, quick, knowledgeable. Thank you to the whole team for making our 20th Anniversary celebration so wonderful.“

“River falls doesn't know the gem they have in their city. This is real, authentic, amazing Mexican food. Huge portions and completely delicious! Every time I go there, there are only a couple customers around but this restaurant should be packed all the time.“

“Fabulous evening with live music and great food. Dominic (son of Brad) the best server we’ve had in our road trip across The USofA.“

“Friendly environment, beers cold and great food. We’ll be back!!!“

“Great food, great atmosphere and great service!“

“Their menu is the most diverse of Stillwater's Mexican restaurants. Friendly staff and Large portions. Their Refried beans are more flavorful than most I've tried.

Parking: Easy to find a handful of vegetarian options. Has corn and wheat tortillas interchangeable. Excellent tamales with mole.“

“Didn't eat in but seems to have a good vibe. Really Italian style pasta. Steak was ok, high priced for quality. Son said his burgers was great and he is picky. I got a chicken parm and it was done perfectly noodles where cooked to the right firmness, sauce was flavorful without a bunch of additives and chicken was cooked perfect with a perfe t amount of breading. High in cost but everything is these days and food quality was good.“

“Atmosphere is fun, lively, a good time. Bingo night is always fun and their service is great.“

“I had the prime rib and it was great! I was surprised by the skillet potatoes they were good! My wife had the ribs either the Mac and cheese and loved it. We were there to see the band and the sound was great. Will definitely have to come back.“

“Great food. Love the decor!“

“Haven’t been indoor dining much since the pandemic but on an impulse stopped in to Chili’s in WDBY. Had the best server, Sarah, with the “pink” in her hair. She was so helpful, fun and patient. Even when we were confused when paying our bill and miscalculated the tip. She was kind and gracious the whole time and a great server. On our way home we realized we seriously made a big error in the tip. Something we will rectify on our next visit. The food was great. The restaurant was cozy. However Sarah made the visit wonderful! Sarah I hope you see this review!!!“
