50 Best American Restaurants near Wayzata

“Great service…great food…great prices!“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“We had a great meal last night at the Lake Room. The bar area was packed, but the dining room was less so (nice for noise). We shared appetizers (deviled eggs and chicken skewers) which were both excellent. Entrees were also very good - bone-in pork chop and shrimp and grits. Wednesdays are 1/2 off bottles of wine night, so we enjoyed an excellent red. Service was great. We love this place!“

“The bacon wrapped cod was delectable and the steak fajita bowl was very delicious. The beet tartare was a bit underwhelming was probably the only down. Restaurant week menu allow us to try a little of everything and we throughly enjoyed the experience.“

“Great food! Great service!“

“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 great!! Jackie was our server and was amazing! Fantastic service and fantastic food! ❤️“

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

“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!!“

“Good food. Server did state multiple times that they were super busy and uncomfortable and had a side ache because they were so stressed. Has nobody noticed the spelling error on the work uniform? How long have you had those? It should be “you’re.”“

“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.“

“This is our new go to spot on the weekend nights! The sticky ribs are amazing and the steak, gnocchi, and especially muscles and basically anything you order is going to be good!!
The prices are a bit high, and it is a bit noisy most of the time we go, and I don’t really like that you can’t make reservations ahead of time for sitdown tables. But overall, we still love going here when we can afford it. Recommend you try it for sure. Food won’t disappoint 😊“

“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“

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

“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.“

“What a pleasant Applebee's experience. I was greeted as soon as I walked in the front door and made my way to the bar, where the bartender (Grace) welcomed me with a smile and took my order. My beer came out just the right amount of cold, and my mozzarella sticks came out quickly and hot. The marinara sauce had just the right amount of zest to it. A perfect blend to go with the gooey cheesy goodness. The beer and cheesestick blend really scratched an it and left me wanting more food and another beer, who was i to say no? So I ordered another beer and some Buffalo wings. I'm no food critic, but these were some of the best wings I've ever had the pleasure of eating. The nice cold beer calmed the spice of the Buffalo and I was satisfied. During my short stay, Rachel came and checked to see if everything was good and Ray got behind the bar to see if I wanted another but unfortunately at this point I was full and having to have to drive home, knew a third drink would be a bad idea so I did the responsible thing and declined. As I left the host Annabelle told me to have a good night and thanked me for coming.

I had a great and welcoming experience here for a very affordable price. I'll be returning soon with friends.“

“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“

“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!“

“Local fare done well. Great service!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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 👍“

“I have been attending for 20 years. The staff has turned over many times. Food is always perfect. Staff is the variable. I have two worthy of particular honors. They are Cathy and Shannon. Pin gold medals on the both. Don't let them leave until they are much too old. They make Perkins for me“

“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!“

“Sean is the best. Always so friendly, helping on our food selections, excellent customer service. He is so kind and polite. We come Applebee’s once a week and he always welcomes us big smile and great service. Thank you so much ,Sean!

Dietary restrictions: Many healthy and delicious food options

Kid-friendliness: Good menu options for picky kids and also healthy!!“

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

“I was enthusiastically greeted upon entering the restaurant by staff who quickly seated me. My order was prepared just as I had requested and my server was great in occasionally checking in on me without being overly persistent in checking on me. A fantastic breakfast experience!“

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

“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“

“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.“

“I enjoyed a delicious ribeye at Wadsworth. The steak was tender and well seasoned, and the service was top-notch. My server was so friendly and helpful, including the various touchpoints by restaurant staff. I can't wait to go back and try something new.“

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

“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🍨💜“

“Delicious barbecue chicken and peach tea. Excellent service. Very nice patio.“

“Outstanding food. Never disappointed.“

“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“

“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.“

“I placed an online order but I forgot to switch it to the bloomington location. So it was placed here at EP Culvers.
So when I realized, I called them and rushed over. The manager was this Latino fella. When I explained my stupid mistake to him, he had his team re-make my order fresh!
Goddamn! That's great service! Thank you Latino dude and culvers team!“

“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.“

“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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!!“
