50 Best American Restaurants near Wayzata

“Stopped by for dinner on a coworker's recommendation while visiting out-of-state for business. To my tastes, this is the overall best dining experience I've had anywhere. Top notch food, top notch service, excellent views of the lake, and a nice steel drum band while I was there.“

“Great service…great food…great prices!“

“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.“

“Best restaurant/bar in town. Cindy is a wizard with her menu. Everything on the menu is to die for! So much better than Maynard’s and stinky fletchers. Plus that one brunette server is so gorgeous. Katey, can I have your number?

Parking: Best parking lot in the whole wide world. I would live there if cindy would let me.“

“Great food! Great service!“

“The place just fits. Nothing pretentious. Grateful for places like Maggie’s.“

“Our server, Stephanie, was delightful and excellent! The food was amazing! Best wedge salad I've ever had and my pork ribeye dinner with spiced apples was SO delicious. My wife had the Jumbo tiger shrimp with garlic spinach & asparagus with Parmesan cream risotto and it was out of this world good. It was our first time eating here and I don't know why. I can't wait to eat here again. We will be back a LOT.“

“Love this gem of a spot in Wayzata - brunch was delicious - my Gruyère & mushroom omelette was yummy & hot when it arrived to me. I chose to add a little hollandaise sauce on the side which I highly recommend. Our group also shared the banana & strawberry toast with peanut butter and cocoa nibs & it was delish! Great service too & not too noisy - we cld hear each other talk which was an extra perk!“

“Ryan was the absolute best server that I have encountered in my life! I have an anaphylaxis food allergy. He was so on top of making sure that whatever I ordered wasn't going to be an issue. He checked with the head chef 3 different times about different entrees, so I could have the best experience. We are from out of town and will definitely be back due to the great service provided. Ryan, thank you so much for being so attentive in regards to my allergy. Tonight's experience made your restaurant, one I will always recommend.“

“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!“

“Positive-Great tasting food with large portions. Great food choices. Bakery to die for. Friendly service. Negative-Pricey and very noisy. Not a lot of seating. Crowded. I would definitely go back again!!!“

“Food was very good. My mom got the shrimp lemon and chicken pasta which was FANTASTIC 10/10 on that. My dad got the pot roast stroganoff which was also fantastic another 10/10. I got the prime rib French dip which the sandwich was fantastic, however the au jus was very bland which was disappointing. The tater tots were awesome. Would definitely eat here again!!“

“The service is horrible. Waited 20mins before getting someone to take just our drink order and it was the bartender from inside not even our server that noticed we were still sitting there with nothing. Then barley good service once our waiter did finally come. We all could have had another drink but never could since we werent asked till after we were done with food. Food was actually really good and good portions for the price. But the service ruined it. I can't recommend this place and don't know if we will back. Plenty of other places with good food that actually have good service.“

“Great service and great food!“

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

“excellent service food tasted great best happy hour out there“

“We come here all the time, and Collin absolutely made our visit tonight. Not sure if he's new, if he is you'd never know it — he was so attentive, upbeat, and on top of everything. Every order was spot-on, every need taken care of quickly, and he made the whole experience feel easy and enjoyable. If he is new, the restaurant should definitely hang on to him — he's already a total gem. Highly recommend asking for Collin!“

“Friendly service and good food!“

“Yummy 😋 Awesome Service & food was top notch!!! Definitely going back!!!“

“Heard great things about Maynards and decided to stop in for dinner with a friend to catch up while visiting MN. We had a tasty dinner (a local beer and cheese curds for an appetizer & a firecracker shrimp wrap as an entree) and excellent service from our waitress Morgan who was friendly and attentive. Definitely want to come back during the summer to check out the outdoor patio with the lake views.“

“Went here randomly after a karate tournament and we were in the area. We were presently surprised by the variety of food. The quality of everything the service was impeccable, and we were very satisfied with our meals. Will absolutely come back if presented with the opportunity in the future heck we might even make the drive.“

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

“Outstanding food. Never disappointed.“

“Local fare done well. Great service!“

“Great experience tonight at Zupas. Always get great service, especially at the Draper Zupas. Jon runs a tight ship and it is always clean and the staff ( Alyssa, Maya, Marilu, Kami, Brynn) 5 Star. Let’s go“

“Very yummy burger the fries were delicious the shakes were good. The guy at the register was so nice had a smile on his face every time he greeted customers and it was busy and very warm on Sunday 9/15. My husband and were celebrating our 40th Anniversary and we're both glad we stopped there. It was great 👍“

“Well, let's see. I thought it was going to be like a sit-down, relax restaurant. Take your time. Might take a little while for your food to come out. Our server, Ashley, was nice. Quick to come take our order, quick to offer a refill when the beverage ran out. Our meals came out so quickly, though. It felt like not even 20 minutes went by after we placed the order and BAM meals arrive. They must've read my order incorrectly. I said no bleu cheese and it came out with bleu cheese. They brought it back and then like 20 minutes later, brought me a new plate. It looked like they just scraped the side dishes from the original plate to the new plate. They were cold where the extra butter I ordered didn't even melt. The waffle fries on my wife's plate, in my opinion, were cold or old. Wife said they were fine. Service was great! Ashley provided a little discount since they messed up my order. Food on the other hand, felt more like a quick service restaurant versus a sit-down, relax restaurant. No offers for dessert. I didn't even see a dessert menu or on the main menu. This really wasn't the best experience, but not the worst experience. I only recommend Clive's because Ashley was so quick and friendly. For the rest, no I would NOT recommend Clive's.“

“Great Culver's. Honestly I was there around 1:30pm and there were 8 cars in front of me. A bit of a wait. But once I ordered and got to the window to pay,, my order came out within minutes. Hot and exactly how I ordered it. I highly recommend this Culver's“

“Culver's is fast food. Its not like McDonald's. Whats different is they do have different salads to choose from I think 3 kinds. They serve chili and other soups. Sometimes chicken noodle . They have chicken strips kids meals with a free scoop of ice cream. They have grilled cheese sandwiches. They have pretzel bites and onion rings They have custard icecream chocolate or vanilla. And different sundae dishes. My sons enjoys eating at Culver's. And my adult son with autism likes me to get his meals there. When he works at dollar tree as being a cashier thier. And works long hours on Sunday. I usually run there to get him and his boss lunch. And his co workers jump in with the boss and my son. So then I had a big food order to pick up for all the workers at dollar tree and they enjoyed having thier lunch break. Its Quick to get a meal if you order on line. Its reasonable price. It can cost alot if you order alot of food and getting drinks or shakes and custard Icecream. But if you feel like it's too much for your budget. The value meals cost more. But as a parent. I would order the kids meal for myself to save money. The food is good. But I wouldn't eat it everyday. Because then you would get tired of the same foods. But the service is good. Plenty of parking. And you can eat inside or take the order to go. Thank you. I hope this helps.“

“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“

“What a wonderful brunch for the price point! We would have loved a bit more hospitality when it came to our service, very cut and dry, but we did get everything we needed. Food was wonderful but the staff was having a bit of difficulty keeping the buffet chafers full with all of the options on the buffet. We made 4+ trips up just so we could taste the variety of options without missing anything we had our eye on. The oysters and prime rib were an amazing addition to the buffet for the $32 price. All in all we had a fun Sunday at Fletchies!“

“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!“

“The Prime Rib nissed the mark by a long way, Would never order again. Could hardly cut it with a steak knife, let alone eat it. Never was asked how was your dinner.“

“Went in person a few weeks ago and service was great, tried the Chicken Parmesan Fettuccine, DELICIOUS!!! Just recently had an issue with a third party service (Uber Eats) where my food was stolen by the driver and more drivers kept coming to the store to pick the order up that was already picked up. Uber eats was giving me a super hard time about getting that order canceled, Steve the manager went out of his way to contact them and have them give me a refund. So thankful for him!!“

“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“

“I didn’t think I was hungry, until I saw the menu, then I ordered a lot! The beet salad, shown on the website, is as delicious as colorful. The ahi tuna salad was a highlight, with a medley of great sauces and prime tuna, plus the chopped up nuts. I also had the blackened fish taco, but asked for the corn tortillas (my preference). The tacos were a great combo of ingredients, although the rice and red beans weren’t noteworthy. But the tomato basil soup was! Since it was billed as a homemade dish, I tried it and it was a touch chunky (in a honest way) and certainly flavorful enough for me to get a cup to go. I look forward to going back next trip in town (I live in Philadelphia).“

“It has been a while since coming here under the new Ownership. I am glad I chose to reinvestgate. I ordered the Sothern fried steak, which came with hash browns and toast with coffee and water. The steak and gravy was one of the best I have ever had. The hash browns were good yet could have been browned a little more. The coffee was rich and did the job. Our Server was prompt and tentative. Great attitude. The price was an expected value, especially with the Senior discount. I am already planning a return trip to try some of their South American cuisine. I recommend giving this quiet place a try.“

“I stopped in for lunch today. Molly was my server. She was super friendly and always seemed to be wearing a smile. I ordered the Turkey BLT WITH Fries and a Mr Pibb. The fries came out hot and fresh. The bread freshly toasted. The Turkey on my BLT was tender and juicy and the bacon added the perfect hint of smoke... like a BLT should. I was very pleased I stopped in. I hear they have some great game-day specials as well. Stop by and check them out.“

“My mom and I stopped in for lunch and we were greeted immediately and chose a table to sit at. I chose their spiciest burger (the name escapes me) and my mom chose the pepperoni pizza. Both were delicious, but if you don't like things too spicy, ask them to put the spicy sauce on the side for your burger. It was a lot of heat, but still so good! Atmosphere was calm and relatively quiet as there were only a few customers at the bar and surrounding tables during our visit. Our server was also bartending, and he was very attentive. I'd definitely stop back in whenever I happen to be on that side of the cities!“

“Last night, we held a real estate client party at Rush Creek and the entire event was perfectly executed. From the initial meeting a few weeks earlier to the final guest walking out, it was a wonderful evening. Great food, craft cocktails and dedicated servers who were outstanding. Loved how management checked in to ensure everything was flowing well and to our satisfaction. I highly recommend Rush Creek for any event you and your organization/wedding/biz are planning. Thank you Rush Creek for creating wonderful memories for us and our valued clients.“

“Love that they have chilled glasses for their beer, thank you Tony!!!“

“We had a dinner party for 33 people in this wonderful place on Saturday night celebrating the marriage of my son and his new bride. The manager Stephanie was so wonderful to work with knowing we would be taking up almost half the restaurant. I highly recommend this place.“

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

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

“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.“

“In the best possible way, this reminds me of a type of friendly neighborhood after work/Saturday afternoon pub and grub that was common in the pre-franchise 90's. It's familiar and warm with a regular cast of characters (none of whom are photographing their food or drinks), decent enough chow, the game is on in the background but isn't why anyone is there. Folks of all ages and all walks of life abound. Just kind of cozy and happy and not try-hard. Maybe not a place you'd go out of your way to seek out, but you'd have to misunderstand the brief to be unhappy to be there. I liked it and would go back.“

“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🍨💜“
