“The food is great The service is great! I wish you would put prices on your bakery items! I always want to buy something but there's no prices and I am the kind of person like many who doesn't like to ask. I would be asking can you tell me how much that slice of chocolate cake is? Can you tell me how much this sparkly cookie is? Can you tell me how much this carrot cake cupcake is? I would just love it if there was a price and I could freely shop knowing what my budget is.“

“We came to Minnesota for a trip and someone recommended us downtown Stillwater I can say it was beautiful! The best part was when we ran into this restaurant that had great food great service and it was right by the lake..I had the bourbon burger.. ufff it was one of the best burgers I’ve ever had. I’m definitely going back again before I go back to texas..“

“Culver's is always good; polite, clean and consistent.
Admittedly, we only stopped for a bio-break because they always have clean restrooms. Alas, something must have been in the beef that night (or the air - there was an air quality alert) as all stalls were full of patrons crafting thier own Flavor of the Day.
After a few impatient minutes, we moved on.“

“Just got done with dinner. This was our second time here this month. I introduced my kids to this restaurant and we all rated it five stars. The kids meal was generous. The pies were delicious. I got my favorite, honey mustard chicken salad. My kids now beg to come eat here every time we’re in Stillwater.“

“I randomly chose this place during a google search for all day breakfast near Stillwater, my significant other got the banana bread French toast and I got the taco salad with chicken. Chicken wasn’t dried up, the bean to salad ratio was on point, and the salsa wasn’t overly spicy but still had a little bit of a kick. The banana bread French toast wasn’t entirely what we expected but it was delicious, had a bit of an unexpected crunch due to caramelization and it was amazing. Our waitress Kathy was amazing! Checking in on us when we didn’t have our mouths full of food and was great with our out of the ordinary requests for peanut butter and an extra bowl so I didn’t make a total mess of the taco salad. 10/10 service! Will definitely be coming back again Thank you Kathy for making our first experience here amazing!“

“If you go to No Neck Tony's in Stillwater, do yourself a favor and order the burnt sugar old fashioned — it is hands down the BEST one I’ve had in my life. The drinks all around were phenomenal, perfectly crafted, and worth raving about. The atmosphere was lively, fun, and made the whole experience even better. Definitely a spot we’ll keep coming back to!“
