21 Best American Restaurants near St. Michael

“The food was amazing! Staff were so friendly and service was great. Food was a little pricey, but I would definitely go again for the experience! :)“

“We reserved a party room for a small business event. Deb was very easy to work with and Michelle was helpful when I had questions and Deb wasn't available. Their rates were incredibly reasonable. The flexibility was hard to beat! When we arrived, Mike and Deb were great about making sure we had what we needed. We had 2 servers- mine was Emily and she was very on top of things. The food was good and the drinks were good- I heard no complaints from any of our guests about the food, drinks or service. Kudos to the kitchen for pace and standard. Also, the room afforded a lot of space and a great deal of privacy from the rest of the bar which was perfect for us. Overall, I wish every venue was as great as this one! Thanks Liberty crew!“

“Great service and great food!“

“We went to support Broken Clock’s Lil Haze (since we’re members there and the beer just won a year long tap line here!). Food was really good (truffle fries so good!) and the staff was super friendly and attentive, even though the place was packed. We went around 6pm on a Friday. Short wait (maybe 5-10 min). So many good food and beer options. The ONLY downfall is that it’s not super family friendly if you have littles. We have a 1 and 4 year old. No high chairs and no changing table in the bathrooms (not sure of men’s, we only used the women’s but men’s bathrooms usually lack them anyway). We have a portable high chair so no big deal there but it would’ve been nice to have those things available if you have young kids. Easy additions to make and we’d come back again regardless because it was a great experience otherwise.“

“We were there for dinner tonight. They were busy but so worth the wait. The bar is a great addition. The food and service were both fabulous (as always). We will be back. Kudos to all the staff!!“

“One of our favorite dinner places. The staff are friendly, the food is great, and the prices are reasonable.“

“Great staff, good food, fast delivery!“

“Always a good meal at Lakes Cafe! Great specials as well.“

“Came here on an absolute whim, not knowing exactly what to expect a few years back and were presently surprised. We came on a Thusday which historically has meant steak on special. I'm extremely picky about how I like my steak prepared and was blown away with how perfect they cooked it. We've gone almost monthly for over a year and it has been spot on every single time.
I've branched out and tried other things and have yet to find anything bad. The family feast fed 5 adults easily to the point of full. I cannot recommend the potatoes salad enough. The best I've ever had. The meat sweats pizza is also a favorite.
Service is always outstanding, bartenders make solid drinks. All around an absolute gem. Keep hoping to see it on triple D somesay.“

“We showed up for pizza and onion rings and a beer, watch Viking game! No wait for a table got the little one a booster wood seat so to speak which worked really well!
Service and food was really good! I will go back easily!

Kid-friendliness: We had a 9 month old and had kids 2 tables over, teens“

“Wonderful Walleye that I haven’t had in so long being from Michigan! Our server, Nathaniel was very helpful and congenial.“

“nice clean place, good food and friendly staffs!“

“Culver’s already has amazing food, but the people who work here are amazing. Everytime I go here, it’s usually Matthew bringing me my food, and he always has a good attitude! Even when it’s not Matthew bringing the food, they always have a smile on their face. Amazing customer service at this place!“

“This is hands down THE BEST place to eat! I have a special needs ( Autistic, ADHD, vision impaired) grandchild and she requests this Culvers daily. We have tried others ( The St Cloud location made us leave because of her excited squeals) but the way the entire staff treats her and the rest of us when we walk through that door in Monticello is OUTSTANDING!! They can see if she's having a tough day and they go above and beyond to accommodate us. I have NEVER taken her anywhere else in Monticello that has accepted her the way Culvers staff has. They are always polite, fast and very welcoming. I don't know all of their names but Anthony and Chad are two of her favorite people. The manager is wonderful! When my bill fold got left behind she worked hard to reach out and get it back to me, she went above and beyond and I can't tell you how very much that ment to me. We don't feel like customers, we feel like family. The staff never seems crabby or like you are a burden, they really seem to enjoy their job. That speaks volumes about management. We cannot say enough good things about the staff 😃 Thank you Monticello Culvers for accepting my Granddaughter for who she is ❤️“

“Veronica was awesome very personable, kind and thorough and serving us a great meal. Highly recommend Perkins and if you’re lucky you’ll have Veronica as your service gal! My wife and I enjoyed the visit very much.“

“Our waitress Tam was fantastic! She was fun/funny and prompt! All the other staff were all smiling too! The place was busy and it still was not much of a wait on our delicious breakfast. Can’t wait to try out the lunch menu… preferably when they’re having gyros for a special.. but don’t ask Tam… she’s the owner and doesn’t know what’s going on!😂 We’ll definitely be back!❤️“

“Food was great , service was excellent and the old time diner with the oldies playing was the finishing touch. I will definitely be back“

“Great hamburgers. Friendly staff. 5 stars.“
