New American Restaurants near Vadnais Heights, MN

“Quick stop here for a birthday drink! Their bloody Mary's are very good! The staff was very welcoming and accommodating to the customers. They are good for any size group and close to the hockey stadium near by for post game celebrations. A great place to watch sporting events too.“

“My wife and I went there for our anniversary. It was our first time trying Baldamar. We got seated in Nate aka "Nate-Or" section! Man what a guy! Our experience was amazing! His energetic lifestyle brought so much to our dining experience. All the staff was truly remarkable. We had the prime ribeye, filet, bread of life, lobster mac and cheese, thr mushrooms and asparagus/crab were do die for! Definitely one of the best steaks I've had in MN!“

“What a cute spot! They have amazing bloody Mary's! This place is great if you want to stop in for a quick drink and a small treat or stay for a full meal! I went here a few years ago and found myself there this past weekend again. It was as good as I remembered and the staff were so kind! Everyone at brunch raved about their meal, truly exceptional! Their eggs were all cooked to perfection! Highly recommend if you are in the area. If you are ever in the area highly recommend checking this place out!“

“Terrific find in St Paul in the Art Deco St Paul Air Terminal Holman's Table. Lot's of photos of early aviation, a private plane landed and taxi'd up for a lunch meeting. Meals were excellent, the room is a delight over looking Holman Field.“

“Truly a dining experience like no other. The food is delicious - I eat the steak every single time I go because it is my favorite food in the world. I'm pretty sure everything on their menu is made from scratch and every flavor is perfect. They take such care and pay such huge attention to the details. The wine pairings are out of this world, and it's such a luxury to turn off my brain and just know that every sip will be perfect. And the service is the warmest, most competent and most genuine service I have ever experienced. You will feel cared for without feeling smothered, and they will go above and beyond to make sure you are enjoying every moment.“

“We went for dinner with friends and loved the view, atmosphere, and had great service. The drinks for most of us were also excellent. However we all felt that the food and presentation was a three star. So take that into account if you are reading this.I know they are going for the diner/dinette vibe but the shrimp cakes in a cardboard box isn't ideal. The French fries also were good but look like something you would get next door at CHS Field.I had the duck pasta with ricotta cheese and it was a major letdown for me. I should have ordered the burrito. However the menu isn't that large so your options are limited. The pork belly was tasty but had way too much spicy sauce all over it.Will I go back? Honestly it is unlikely. I hope they can improve the food and expand the menu because the location is beautiful and historic. And our server was prompt and took great care of us.“

“A nice old time venue where you are close to the artist. We have been there 3-4 times. The employees are fantastic. Good food down below and good drinks. However, we went to the band Augustana which we have 5-6 times, and the sound system was horrible.“

“If you want delicious food, do yourself a favor and head over. Their salad dressings are made from scratch and that's my favorite thing. The ranch is SOOO delicious! I haven't tried others but my sister and friends loved multiple other kinds. The soup and sandwiches are great, too. The desserts are great and they serve Northern Soda, which is a fun treat, too! I've gone here with multiple friends and relatives and everyone, even "hard to please at restaurants" think it's great!“

“Outstanding food, service, and atmosphere. Love the rigatoni. Specials are difficult to turn down. If you go after 4 pm, you can get a pannekoken. And they often have music after 5 pm. You may need reservations in the evening. When the weather is good, they have a wonderful outside eating area.“

“Cheerful and professional service from Sydney. Great artichoke dip and nice smooth lattes. The hibiscus orange tart has great flavor, but a little odd in texture for me. A wonderful option within walking distance of the XCel and Science Museum.“

“Good burgers, good appetizers. A very solid experience. I would recommend sitting at the bar, the bartenders are always awesome and give great service. The burgers have a good variety that you can't find other places so it's fun to try different things too. The atmosphere is relaxed without being divey. Would recommend.“

“Staff seemed short staffed HOWEVER our service did an amazing job. While not able to chit chat she was fast and helpful with our order. The food was good we got the fish and chips. Would love to try more of the food. A cute little tavern with a good vibe. Place to go if you are looking for American food and a good time“

“No other wing place will EVER compare to getting wings from here. I've been eating here since I graduated high-school back in 2018 and I can't say I've found any other place that can compare. I've been loyal to this place since then and I plan to remain loyal to this place for as long as they're around.“

“This place is amazing! Do you know how hard it is to find a place that not only has an extensive tap list with great beer representing all the major styles, but also really good food? This place has both is and is truly a gem. It is must visit for both great beer and great food, plus the service was amazing. My beer never went dry once before the waitress was asking if we needed another. That is how it should be done! Spent over 5 hours here and it was time well spent. The Reaper wings were a perfect blend of flavor, spice, and sweetness. If you enjoy various styles of beer and great food this place is highly recommended!“

“First time here and it was a pretty good experience. I appreciate how the restaurant offers reservations... just makes it so much easier for everyone. Unfortunately, I did not see any staff at the hostess stand when I arrived however, my party was already seated. I've heard nothing but fantastic things about the all you can eat fish fry here, so that's what actually brought me here. Fantastic! Fish was hot, crispy, and not greasy; also served with tartar sauce. You also get a generous amount of fries which were great... I love a good zesty fry. Coleslaw was tasty as well. I had to get the mini donuts for dessert and those were delicious. Tasty, hot, and perfectly sugared. There were a few things I'd like to try on the menu... Buffalo chicken wontons, cheese curds, and the burger. I'll have to come back next time I'm in the area. I'd say our waitress wasn't very attentive and not too friendly.... Just kinda felt like she didn't want to be there. However, the food made up for it. Restaurant is large, well lit, and clean.“

“A friend who use to live in White Bear suggested this place. So when another friend and I decided to have lunch we chose here.Upon arrival at noon, there were several tables filled but we were not spoken to by any staff for at least 7-8 minutes. Once we figured out who was seating us we realized the hostess/manager had walked by us multiple times. He should have acknowledged those waiting. All it takes is a quick hello and "we will be with you shortly". There was another party waiting behind us. Maybe short staffed.We chose to sit outside. It was very nice. Our server was fairly attentive and informative. It was our first time. She was new also. She was tipped very well since she did great for being new.My friend ordered the lunch special-Walleye Burrito. It was very good she said. Her fries were full length and warm.I ordered the Brickhouse Burger without the special sauce. I subbed BBQ sauce on the side. The sauce was bland. The burger was nothing phenomenal.I assume the white cheese was cheddar based on what the server told me. But it didnt taste like cheddar.My fries were mostly over-cooked and very small pieces.I wish I had ordered the Burrito since the burger was not better or bigger than a Culver's burger for twice the price.We both had water and coffee. The water was warm.Our bill came to over $53 for lunch. We both personally felt the quality and size of the meals were not worth the price.The building and atmosphere was lovely. Maybe they have high taxes and rent.“

“I'm a staunch supporter of restaurants blazing the trail for tipless pricing as it tends to be more equitable for staff and simpler and more transparent for all. Brasa is tipless, saying it pays its workers $16-25/hr, and it does everything right: delicious rotisserie chicken (pollo a la brasa), tasty sides (the spicy creamed spinach wasn't actually spicy hot, but it was tangy and creamy), fast service, and reasonable prices---remember, no tipping expected. The two-piece rotisserie plate is $15 as of this writing and is enough to satisfy most appetites. An excellent deal for food this delicious and well-prepared. The décor and vibe is very nice too.“

“Ordered fish and chips for takeout. The order was ready promptly but pickup was a bit chaotic as it was Friday night during happy hour and all the servers and bar personnel were really busy, The portions were very generous for both the fish and the chips and the fish was flavorful and not overly battered. My main complaint was that the takeout containers were plastic and thus the food couldn't be rewarmed in the oven. Microwave makes the chips soggy which these were by the time I got them home. Styrofoam is equally bad for the environment but at least it could have been put in the oven to reheat. Price was fairly reasonable for the size of the portions.“

“Delicious, hot , fresh, gourmet feel. Wonderful, staff that made me feel welcome as this was y first visit.Only complaint..they may have forgot to turn on the hood fans when cooking and an overwhelming smell of something burning overtook the restaurant. It only lasted a few minutes, but enough to give me a headache. I arrived when right when they opened so it might had been an oversight.“

“I love this place. They have such a delicious variety of breakfast and lunch options and they're quick and efficient in prepping orders. And they keep adding new stuff!! I've tried many things on the menu and have never been disappointed. If I had to pick a favorite, it'd be the Meat Lovers omelet. No, the West 7th Street burger. No... the omelet. AH! I can't choose just one!“

“The atmosphere is fine dining, business casual. Our server was attentive, and enjoyed sharing his knowledge of the menu. The happy hour appetizers were a mixed bag. While the cheese curds were delicious, and the filling of the deviled eggs were mouth watering. The eggs themselves were overcooked and rubbery. If you get a chance to try Tria’s chicken pot pie, you won’t be disappointed. First time diners, and we’ll have to come back for more“

“I enjoyed a small salad with a garlic dressing. It was a good size and colorful. That's all I had cause I was on my way to a Yelp event. Basil got their version of fish and chips called sunnies. Small lake fish. Two more and you'll feel like you got your money's worth. There were more bluegills served for an appetizer at Acqua recently. Fries were kind of soggy. The tarter was good. About 3PM was a good time, not busy and our server was very attentive. I'm looking forward to burgers and other meat in a couple of weeks.“

“My first visit here. It was busy, and a little slow in service/kitchen timing, but in their defense, we showed up an hour before Bingo night. Mackenzie P. was our waitress and she was hustling! Great attitude and super friendly, always checking in. Overall great experience, great Cuban sandwich and looking forward to coming back when the patio is open.“

From the moment we stepped foot into this charming restaurant, we were greeted with a warm and inviting ambiance that set the tone for a delightful meal.I had the pleasure of trying the steak and egg dish, and it was nothing short of amazing.

“Got the Mac attack burger. Sandwich Size was smaller than expected but it was pretty good. High rating because it's a unique Sandwich. Needed salt though. Fries were a mixed bag. Love the crunch and texture. But the taste of onions on them was overwhelming. I presume they fry a lot of onions in the oil. It's not bad, just not what I expected when i eat fries. Overall I recommend the place. Especially if you like onions and their flavor.“

“Definitely check this place out! We've been here a couple of time, always in the winter for some reason, and have never been let down! The service from the hostess, to the servers, the bartenders and the manager Travis that checked in on us were all extremely friendly and accommodating as we had our 3 little ones with us. This bar/restaurant has a very cozy and warm feeling (I absolutely love being able to take my coat off and not freeze in a restaurant in Minnesota winters). There is an awesome wood burning fireplace that really adds to it's charm. If that's not enough there's a large selection of local artwork throughout each room.There's a huge outdoor patio for all your warmer weather dining needs and it is dog friendly! Rumor has it this summer they will be offering a doggy menu for possible "Yappy Hour"specials!Back to the food, it's amazing! The menu is the perfect size to offer a great variety without compromising quality and taste. We had the 100% Angus burgers that were cooked to perfection and served with perfectly seasoned fries. The buffalo wing appetizers were cooked to have a slightly crispy outside and juicy inside without being sloppy like other wing establishments. We didn't have the fajitas but saw and smelled multiple orders of them whiz by us and will definitely be back to try them.There are plenty of beers on tap and a full bar that will have anything you might have a taste for. I had a blood orange margarita and it was spot on! Coincidentally that happens to be the only picture I took of our meal.“
