50 Best American Restaurants near Wayzata

“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.“

“Great service…great food…great prices!“

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

“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.“

“Had a delightful experience here on Monday night. It’s a beautiful, comfortable space. Love the happy hour & dinner menus. There are many nice selections for everyone/all appetites. Food was delicious and service was friendly & top notch. Thank you! We’ll be back!“

“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.“

“The lettuce wraps that were added to the menu are the BEST LETTUCE WRAPS i have ever had! 10/10 would recommend!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“The food is always good here. I have tried quite a few menu items, and you really cannot go wrong. I am finally giving a review because my dinner tonight was unbelievably delicious. I love comfort food, so I ordered the turkey carver. Turkey, mashed potatoes, and gravy that would bring your granny to tears. It was NEXT LEVEL GOOD!“

“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.“

“Typical American diner with a lot of food such as burgers, sandwiches, handhelds, wraps, salads, different appetizers and mains. A lot of food, a lot of beer and other alcoholic drinks. It’s a sports bar, you can watch the Vikings games there. If you like that you’re definitely in the right place. They have some vegetarian options and different salads. My stir fry sautéed vegetables with noodles were decent.
They have Bingo Tuesdays. They have a happy hour too.
The service was ok. You can pay by card or cash. It’s pretty reasonable priced. The portions are big. There’s a parking lot in front of the building.

Vegetarian options: There are vegetarian options, such as noodles or rice or quinoa with vegetables; a lot of different salads.

Kid-friendliness: You could go there with kids.

Wheelchair accessibility: It’s accessible with a wheelchair.“

“Went here on a whim today cause my wife and I had to make a return at the Staples next door. Legitimately one of the best eggs benedicts I’ve ever had and their cheese hashbrowns are incredible. We also had incredible service by one of the waitresses there. She was really great and made sure we had everything we needed. Will definitely be coming back sometime!“

“Great vibe, good food and great staff“

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

“Local fare done well. Great service!“

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

“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“

“There was a total of 6 of us here with my husband and I, toddler, and in laws. We came for my birthday and my mother in law had made a reservation. We were seated quickly, and the service was prompt. The server took our toddler's order first and had that expedited to get it faster. The orange salmon was delicious.“

“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“

“Ordered take out via their app, was ready ASAP. Burgers were perfect and basic. Fries blasted in air fryers for a half a minute was just like they can out of their fryer.
This is the kind of burger one craves.

Vegetarian options: If you like impossible burger would be fine.

Parking: There seems to be ample parking in lot a little narrow exiting in the rear, winter may be difficult.“

“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!“

“We are from Puerto Rico, went with my sister and brother in law (they are regular there). Great food, cocktails, very friendly service. We will be back.“

“Food was great and service was friendly. Definitely try the cornbread and their meatloaf. So delicious!“

“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!“

“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“

“Huge Portions! Loved the wings ! Top notch!“

“Great food, great service all the time. Never had a bad experience at Ike’s.“

“The food is always good. The service is always just “meh.” I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been to 3 Squares and Ive had to ask for a refill, find my server to get the check, or get up to ask for a condiment. Once the food is deli, the servers never come back to check on you. It’s very frustrating. It’s nice outside on a cool day. The inside is kind of musty and the booths need a good cleaning and upgrade to be of any comfort. I think the entire place needs a revamp.“

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

“The food is almost always great. Every once in a while, you get a subpar dish or item, but it's very rare. Their fries are freakin awesome, just the right amount of salt and pepper seasoning. They have one of the top three pancakes out there... you don't even need syrup or butter they're so good.
Service can be hit or miss, this last time was fantastic... outstanding service.
The atmosphere is generally okay, nothing special... though it is almost always quiet, which is great.“

“Outstanding food. Never disappointed.“

“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 worked a wedding as an event manager hired by the couple this past weekend and I highly recommend club as a venue for your celebration. The staff was prompt and present through the entire event. The food was great, the venue stunning but again… most of all… the staff was phenomenal to work with!“

“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 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.“

“absolutely delicious food great service And very friendly staff“

“Just enjoyed the over 55 pot roast dinner and it was delicious!“

“The chain of restaurants no one's Culver's Is A minnesotan Favorite And Top go to restaurants Every individual whether that's a family Or single person.

What prompted my review today was the manager working this morning named Krista. I'd like to applaud her for going above and beyond service levels and providing such high standards of customer service and also the general atmosphere that she has going throughout her restaurant and employees. She takes pride in what she does, and I hope 13 management and ownership of this restaurant notices the work that is being put in is what's going to make not just this location succeed butt the whole franchise itself.

I will briefly speak upon all my Culver's visits not just this location but I'll have visited that I remember. I would say I remember 30 to 40 visits I've taken to a Culver's in my life. That's being very modest, I know it's more than that.

What attracted me to the restaurant first is knowing that all of their ingredients come locally sourced and are not fresh or frozen and also that other ingredients are cared for and contain non genetically modified ingredients, essentially saying that their ingredients are better quality for you and your body.

No obviously a double or triple cheeseburger with fries is not healthy for your body at all. Lol. But if you're looking for something that's quick easy but you're also not going to wake up feeling like crap or vice versa feeling crap after you eat all of their food. Everything is prepared fresh and it's not made before hand. It's all made to order.

Some people will probably argue about the price, and say that Culver's is expensive but those people usually are putting Culver's in the same genre as fast food. Culver's is not what is considered today's fast food at all. Just because they have a drive-thru and you can have your food in a bag or served in front of you indoors in 5 minutes, that gives you no reason at all to put this anywhere close to the same field of restaurants as your: McD's, B.K., T-Bell, etc. Etc. Etc.

As far as what type of category food is Culver's I am not exactly sure what I would put it in.. it certainly not fast food but then again it's not fine dining. It's pretty much in its own category. It's a local staple dining restaurant, serving everything for the whole family and for every type of occasion and people's needs.

Wrapping up getting back to what I said about price is you get what you pay for here. I speak the truth in the past I have said that Culver's is expensive but at that time I was around 22 years old, now being in my young thirties taking everything into account this place is not pricey are expensive into anyone who says that they are way too used to going and ordering off the dollar menu at McDonald's.

Am I the only one who wanders how most people are making it nowadays?
Doing anything is expensive. It's pretty crazy. And honestly we're talking about the price here it's not even double what McDonald's or Burger King charges.

You also don't have to order your food off of a dang dumb self-serve kiosk like at McDonald's now.

The service level on how friendly employees are here really make a huge difference.

Kid-friendliness: A healthy and safe environment that really brings the midwest home to you! Great times and is most certainly friendly and acceptable for the whole family whether you're actually bringing the whole family! That's Aunts & Uncles, mom, Dad, your sisters and brothers, oh and don't forget to bring Grandpa Rudy and!!

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair in handicap entrances are completely level if you enter right in front of the buildings main entrance. 380 de“

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

“We just had a delightful and delicious lunch at Hazelwood and highly recommend it! Our waitress Madi was excellent and made some wonderful recommendations for our drinks and meals that turned out to be delicious!! I wish I were closer and could come more often because this would be a place I would frequent regularly!“

“Best Gyro ever!! The pita was amazing!!! LOVED the chicken wings!!!! Great fries. My families new favorite!!!!!“

“Shout out to Katie she is amazing and made our experience that much better!

We stopped in Saturday afternoon, the restaurant wasn’t busy and we got seated right away. We got started with the buffalo wings. They were delicious and perfectly cooked, however they were sweet and spicy not buffalo spicy.

I didn’t like the butternut squash soup, but I loved the scallops with piquillo cream and the blueberry mojitos. My husband and I agreed they were sweet and strong!

The restaurant is clean, very spacious, dimly lit, and has a wonderful ambiance with a large parking lot out front.“

“I had the grilled cheese and soup. This was no ordinary sandwich!! The flavor combination with the chili jam, apples, bacon, two different cheeses and such was amazing! I was scared to try it but wow. And the tomato bisque tasted so fresh and wonderful. My spouse had the duck confit. He was so disappointed he missed the duck breast, but he said the leg was tender and moist. Our server was kind, considerate and just plain wonderful.“

“This place is on point for your food. Yes, the guy at the counter isn't gonna play with you. "Can I get this, and this" especially after you pay. Come correct. This is hood food at its best. You mad? Don't be ratchet. Done.“
