“Dylan is the best bartender that you will ever have in Minnesota! He is the nicest person out there! His energy levels are fantastic! Tell him Ava and Jennifer say hi!

Parking: lines need to be more clear cause people park over the lines.“

“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!“

“I was in a rush to a 1:30pm meeting. I called ahead they had my burger ready within 10min of me calling. The host greeted me right away and had my smash burger ready to go. I was able to leave at 1:10pm to make it to my meeting! Thank you everyone at Rjs! I’ll be back will bring clients here for lunch. -Tyler @ Data Up “

“We just had our ceremony and reception here and I cannot express how phenomenal it was. Lindsey & the bar staff were absolutely wonderful to work with from beginning to end, the food was exceptional and the service was top notch. 10/10 recommend.“

“Amazing Ethiopian food! Many of the "Americanized items" on the menu were not available, so we went with their recommendations on the most popular Ethiopian options.

Sambusa, cheesy fries, Melkka Special, and Shekla Tebs made up our meal. Dispite never having had ethnic foods like this, our kids absolutely loved it as well.

And of course we had some delicious Baklava to finish the meal.“

“Great place. Food is awesome“

“I was in charge of a catering order for about 25 people that needed to be kept warm for several hours in chafing dishes. Jule's Bistro created healthy, scrumptious breakfast burritos that held up wonderfully, even 3 plus hours later! Just like fresh out of the kitchen and customized for a very particular guest group, THANK YOU!“

“I’ve been coming to Val’s for a long time. Food is delicious! My concern is…. The guy who works the counter is wearing gloves for sanitation purposes. Yet, he is touching cash, credit cards, coins, the order screen, computer mouse, his personal gatorade beverage, french fries scoop, shake straws and touched his face. I literally saw him grab fries and throw them into a customers bag. Never once did he changed his gloves. Why even wear them? He also should be wearing a beard bag! Your food is very good, but your sanitation is lacking.“

“The food was fantastic and really reasonable!“

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

“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.“

“Great food and great service!“

“Great burger!! We will be back!“

“Love the Prime Rib Sandwich!“

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

“We love Lincoln! Have for years! Great food, beer selection and great waitstaff. Fun atmosphere!!“

“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!“

“I cannot give enough praise to this business for the fabulous food and service given for my daughter’s wedding on May 8! Hailey is a master organizer, from our sample dining experience to the actual wedding meal, everything was handled promptly and professionally! Serving 140 guests a hot and delicious meal is a challenge in itself, but we had many guests saying that this was the best food they have ever had at a wedding! Recommendations all the way!!....... Darcy Forkrud“

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

“I'd just like to say, season is a sweetheart. We didn't get off on the right foot my first time here. It was because she was so busy at being a great bartender. I came into the bar very emotional and needed a drink. So lucky she was there.“

“The Pickled Loon is definitely a hotspot for the younger crowd, but it's one of the few places around where you can really let loose and dance. While I’m a bit older and don't frequent it often, I never miss a chance to go when my younger friends want to hit the dance floor. It’s a lively place, perfect for shaking off the stress and having a great time. Like any good college bar, there’s the occasional scuffle, but I’ve never felt unsafe—it's mostly between people who know each other. The atmosphere is fun, the staff are courteous, and the drink prices are very reasonable. It’s always a good time!“

“This Famous Dave's has been a favorite of mine for a very long time. Its very sad to see this location close today. The service and food has always been the best. St.cloud,Mn. Doesn't seem to be able. keep great restaurants for some reason.“

“We had Lily's at our wedding on 10-5-24. Steven was great to work with all the way up to the wedding and even worked with me so he wouldn't show up during our ceremony! I have nothing but good things to say, everyone kept coming up to me to comment on how good the food was. Steven served all 200+ guests by himself and didn't stop moving. I will always recommend Lily's. Thank you for everything!“

“My lunch at Red Lobster ( I visit each week) was wonderful! The food and ordered drinks are consistently delicious. By far, the service and friendly, knowledgeable staff members are the primary reason for my patronage. Each member of staff is personable, respectful and helpful. These qualities are the reason I continually to come to Red Lobster.“

“Let me FIRST SAY WOW!!! The staff here the food the drink, everything is amazing. I travel the world for food sometimes and the BEST wings and CRISPY Calamari are Here! The Chef is a Master at his craft in all cuisines ! Tim the manager is absolute in attention to detail and taking care of things , Austyn is just one of the bartenders and she’s amazing keeping up with everything if it’s busy! I can’t say enough I really can’t ! I own a business I’m always in Clearwater but never been here!! I know my new place !“

“Our order was wrong. They made it right within minutes. The fried pickles and mushrooms were spot on.“

“We shared a pizza. When it came out, it was just beautiful like a work of art. The taste was stellar! I would highly recommend and will certainly go back myself.

Kid-friendliness: I used to bring my kids here often and saw a big table of kids while we were there last time.

Wheelchair accessibility: Easily wheelchair accessible“

“Perkins has good food, taste is good also“
