“Best marine on the lake 👍🏽“

“We ate there last night. Great food and atmosphere“

“For our company’s employee appreciation party, we booked a cruise on the Belle Vista, and it was wonderful! The crew was very kind, professional and attentive and the food was amazing. We are beyond impressed with how smoothly everything went from the initial booking to the day of the cruise. Morgan worked with us diligently to book the cruise and did a fantastic job recommending which boat would best fit our group and helped with selecting our food choices. We can’t thank all the staff at Al and Almas enough, from the cooks that prepared our food, to the many behind-the-scenes staff, and the incredible crew that made our day so special. We highly recommend Al and Almas for any event and can’t wait to plan our next cruise.“

“This is one of our favorite places, we make sure to come every month for the bloody of the month. Today I had the breakfast tacos and old fashion, amazing food and drinks. Our waitress was fantastic super nice and conversational we’ll be lifetime customers. Mags our waitress was amazing - promote ahead of peers give her annual bonus. ✨“

“Food was amazing, prompt service, and fun atmosphere. We will definitely be back!“

“Is like an American place that serves, homemade food and is excellent.“

“Always great good and great service! Love this place!“

“The stuffed walleye is fantastic and the side of peppers and pea pods was also delicious“

“Our order was missing items and when I called, the manager(s) on duty went above and beyond to take care of the issue. They know customer service and they do it well! Thank you!“

“Making reservations was easy, and we were seated early! Service and food were great! The noisy environment made it challenging for my 92 year old mother to follow the conversation at our table. After we left I remembered that I was asked, at the time I made the reservation, if it was a special occasion. It was a birthday celebration, for a 92 year old. What was the purpose of that question? There was no special attention or treat given.“

“Honestly our experience couldn't have been better. We arrived early and were offered complimentary Prosecco while we waited. A small thing, but a nice touch. Old fashioned was a 10. Food was inventive, aesthetic and cooked to perfection. Server was attentive and informed. Really nice job to all involved!“

“Beautiful! I can’t say enough about the wonderful summer vibes of this gorgeous restaurant! The only thing I noticed out of place were the napkins. Mine was all white but the table next to me had stripes? Don’t skip on the delicious calamari- prepared fresh by the scratch kitchen! The craft cocktails were delicious! However my favorite part of the experience was our server Sara! She made great recommendations and even better company! I would have invited her to join the table and stay but I would have had to take a number because all the guests were loving her!“

“You won’t go wrong here. They’ve figured it all out.“

“It's a fast food restaurant, so atmosphere isn't really what you're there for. The food is always prepared fresh and the service is incredibly pleasant. Stores are usually very clean which makes a big difference when dining in. Great, juicy burgers, always hot, and crispy crinkle fries!“

“People like to say, "this is some of the best food outside of (insert city)." The Noble Lion has some of the best food anywhere and amazing staff as well!“

“The ordering to go was amazingly fast. No sitting in a one hour drive through backup! Who knew!!!“

“Great place to meet and hang out with friends. Casual atmosphere. Patio seating is a favorite. They really do have excellent burgers. They do have a great selection of beer however, it would be excellent if they had hard cider on tap. You do have the option of buying a bottle of your favorite wine at the attached liquor store and enjoying it for a corking fee. The staff is long-standing and ever friendly. Haskell's will always remain a favorite.

Parking: Somewhat limited.“

“Lord Fletcher's main dining room is always a great choice for a wonderful dining experience with a nice ambiance. We sat at a table next to the windows overlooking the dock area. The food is always superb, as well as the service. This is a great restaurant to celebrate a special occasion or just to enjoy a super dining experience.“

“We had a lovely brunch experience today. While the food and drinks were wonderful, our visit was GREATLY enhanced by the AMAZING service we received from Colin. What a gem of a young man you have!“

“Great staff and food. Very fresh has a fun golf club machine“

“Every year the girls get a pup cup for their birthday. Usually we go to that other ice cream place, but I like Culver's custard and figured I'd stop in quick and inquire for her birthday on Monday. The very sweet employee thought I was asking for one instead of just inquiring if they do that at this location and came back with one for the girls. They were spoiled a little early and we will definitely be back on their birthday and other days for service like this. Thank you so much for making mine and the girls day🍨💜“

“Outstanding food. Never disappointed.“

“I moved in earlier than I planned because there wa no reason not too. I am very happy at The Waters and so glad I made the move. The "cottages" are wonderful even though there is downsizing to get done. The staff is very helpful and cheerful. The food is great - besides the 'every day menu," there are specials for lunch and dinner. The menu is quite varied with chicken, beef/veal, pork, turkey and vegetarian.“

“Food was AMAZING, service was AMAZING.

I had the pulled pork barbecue sandwich which I don't regret getting, one of the best I have ever had. The other people I was with got the chicken loaded burrito, and they absolutely loved it.

Our server Chris, was Awesome. He would check in regularly, refill our drinks, and ask if we needed anything.

10/10 would absolutely love to come here again.“

“Great service…great food…great prices!“

“Amazing brunch- chicken biscuits and gravy. Excellent service and staff!“

“We hosted our daughter’s ceremony in Medina Entertainment center, and the service and coordination were exceptional. Everything was perfectly planned and executed just as we had requested. The ceremony went smoothly, and our guests thoroughly enjoyed it. The event coordinator Christy, bar server, and food server all did an outstanding job. I would definitely plan my next event here again. Thank you“

“A quick go to place for a fast and affordable dinner meal. I visited this location several times and I always find it to be clean, consistent, and fast. The dining area is definitely an upgrade when compared with McDonald's, Burger King, or even Wendy's. I've never had a service issue here where there was a problem with my order.“

“Found a heart in my Flavor of the Day (FOTD)!

How much better can it get?

This location had tissue in the bathrooms, as in nose or facial tissue.

The restrooms were clean.

The staff was friendly.

The parking was easy.

The dining area was clean and orderly.

The trash cans were clean and emptied.

5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!!“

“Recommend highlyBest to make a reservation. They get big groups and crowds. Even tho they get busy we had good service. Great apps!! Pretzel bread with cheese delicious!Buttermilk shrimp dinner were great and large portions. Good mixed drinks too. Great experience overall.

Parking: Restaurant is part of Medina ballroom/entertainment center and Inn, so lots of parking spots.“

“Service was good even though mixup with food and it was never ordered. Big delay and provided one free dessert for a check of $150. Not the way to handle a problem even though they apologized. Disappointed. Food okay , just above average. Will think twice again before returning.“

“I have experienced this place. It must be said that it is like a flower paradise. The scenery is very beautiful. I really like this place.“

“Wonderful place excellent food the staff is awesome“

“We had a brunch for 16 people at 11am. While they weren't able to hold seating/make reservations; they were able to make it a very short waiting time. Page and the serving crew were amazing! We had no waiting time on ordering and our server was professional and speedy. They kept the drinks coming and we had someone in our party with a lot of special food needs and they were wonderful! First place we've been to where my husband could eat an entire meal to his fill. The food was delicious! No one in the entire party had a single complaint! Wonderful blueberry rice sausages, eggs, pancakes, taco salad, hot tea, coffee, French toast, hashbrowns, English muffins, toast, and more! The decor is adorable! We're so lucky to have found this little cafe as we're from all around the US here for a wedding. It seems to be a local favorite as it was packed! Younger generations and older and everywhere in between! THE go to place if you live in the area or if you're just visiting! You won't be disappointed! Thank you for helping make our visit so wonderful! 10 STARS!“

“All of it amazing 😻 family environment“

“We have been coming to Lucky 13 in Plymouth since it opened in 2012. We always liked the atmosphere and especially the bingo. We stopped coming in 2018 or so because the food wasn't good. Tonight we gave Lucky's another chance and we were amazed at the improvement in the quality of the ingredients and the amazing taste of the food. My husband ordered the spare ribs and said these are the best spare ribs he ever tasted. I ordered the walleye tacos. The avocado and ginger accents, the large piece of fish and fresh ingredients were superb. Lucky's has earned back our loyalty! The servers were excellent and the manager stopped by to check on us. She even bought us a round! Great experience at Lucky's-- this place should be packed!“

“Server was not attentive and smelled like weed... so gross!!!🤢🤮🤢🤮“

“Great Irish/American comfort food on the menu. Irish Rolls were great, Shepherd Pie, and Meatloaf all done so well. Met Chef James at Twins game and made a special short 20 minute trip out from our downtown hotel. Food was worth the trip, staff was absolutely great and friendly. We brought our pup with us, plenty of outdoor sidewalk and patio seating, and a water dish provided. Will be back again.“

“Birch's is one of the best places to go in the entire Twin Cities. It's unique yet, classic in many ways. Delicious food. Great Staff. Beautiful Ambiance. The crowds always bring a great energy.“

“Indoor Dinning, large menu, creative cuisine, great food, and healthy options“

“Just wanted to say that the food was great the service was great. I was in and out in no time“

“Waitress brought the food but never came back to see if everything was OK and never refilled my iced tea.

Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp down the middle of the restaurant so you'd be able to go to either side.“
