“Great happy hour menu, but get there early or you're going to be waiting for a while. Well made dishes with excellent service, you can't go wrong here for a nice night out, but be prepared to open your wallet. This is a splurge unless you really stick to the happy hour menu and don't go crazy.“
“Lake Room is our favorite date night spot. Worth the drive for us. Shoutout to the bartender, Demi, who always makes fantastic cocktails. The kitchen puts out great food too. All around a must-try restaurant that will entice you to come back again and again.“
“A lovely mom-and-pop restaurant that gives excellent value for $$. Everything is made from scratch in what I’d call a Latino Fusion style. I’ve only been there for lunch, where I’ve tried and highly recommend the Sandwich de Carne, Sandwich de Pernil, and Stuffed Poblano. Yummy house desserts include Tres Leches Cake, Crème Caramel, and Coffee Flan. Haven’t sampled the wine or beer, but the Arnie Palmer was delicious with homemade lemonade, not overly sweet. Décor is minimal but with fine-dining touches such as cloth napkins and fresh flower bouquets on each table. Great care obviously goes into each aspect of Cahill Bistro. Best of all, the staff is genuinely welcoming and attentive. Not to be missed!“
“I'm gonna go ahead and add to these 5* reviews because they deserve them! We ordered at least 3 times back to back. The owner recognized me on the 2nd visit, which I appreciated. The pizza is always fresh, looks AMAZING, tastes GREAT, AND THE OWNER HANDS YOU YOUR FOOD WITH PRIDE! Oh! Yes, vegan sausage (soy) and vegan cheese (non soy ? ) available. One of my visits, there was a young man doing homework and eating pizza. It was a picturesque moment of a student after school hanging at the pizza spot. The prices are decent, too. Even though I do carry out, I made sure to tip because of the quality service and food.The photos are the first visit. Each visit after has been just as beautiful and tasty. I ordered without cheese, just to see how flavorful the sauce was. The sauce was SO flavorful, I did not miss cheese. Mind = BLOWN. The owner put me on to "fried peppers." When I tell you they add heat?!? So delicious! They are the peppers on the non-cheese pizza in the photos. Fresh veggies. Fresh basil! We love the crust. Crispy, chewy, and yummy! This place is worth it. Awesome location, tables and chairs to eat in, cute window seating, and super cool vibe. Seriously, give them some of your time and money.3.2.24 UPDATE: Back again... THEY DO NOT MISS! This is what you call CONSISTENCY! Today was a cheese pizza with Italian seasonings and light white onion on half. They NAILED it! No need to request extra cheese or well done. This is real pizza.Vegetarian options: Vegan cheese and sausage (soy) available“
“One of the best MN distilleries, IMO. Every spirit I've had is smooth and well balanced. Their blue agave tequila is one of my favorites and something I drink in the rocks. Tried their spiced rum today and it's just as good. Not overly sweet or cloying like a lot of rums can be. Nice notes of cinnamon, allspice, and anise. The taproom is really laid back but can get loud and hard to hear folks you're talking with. The service of amazing and ordering by QR core at the table makes everything really smooth. They've got some bar snacks and Heggies of you don't want to order in. Their cocktails are all well balanced, strong, and not overly sweet. It's one of my favorite places to grab a drink since it's not pretentious like a lot of other cities lounges or "rustic" like you get in the country. Just a lot of people looking to have a drink or two and get some good conversation.“
“Unfortunately couldn't capture a photo because we ate the food so fast!We ordered the gyro, waslad, and boy we could not have been happier with our meal. The spices, tenderness, and how they fried their food could not have been more perfect. Their sauces are spicy yet not overwhelming. I'm surprised I haven't heard of this place, it should be on everyone's hot list for the Twin Cities.“
“I loved the nostalgic 50’s look and feel of Wagner’s drive in burger joint the food was cooked hot, fresh and fast it was impressive I loved the food and prices the service of my waitress was awesome she was very polite professional and friendly I would gladly recommend anyone who wants a high quality burger or other good food at low prices with impressive impeccable customer service go and try this small family friendly restaurant anytime your in the area!!!“
“Great brewery set up right on Lake Minnetonka. They have a good selection of IPA and 8 other beers of varying style. The taproom is cozy and situated quasi-restaurant style. Staff was prompt and friendly on my visit. There was also a Voyageur Sauna onsite during my visit. Matt the Sauana Steward was simply amazing. Knowledgeable about temperature therapy, and beer, snd engaging. I for sure want to check them out in the spring/summer to watch the boats pull up. And also want to come and watch a Vikings game on their outdoor screen on the patio.“
“A cosy brewery where you can sit down with your buds and enjoy every sip. They have a good variety of beers on tap and few seasonal ones as well. You can have free popcorns on the side to enjoy with your beers. They have limited seating for up to around 10 tables, so chose a not so busy time to go there and make the most of it. ?“
“Such an amazing coffee shop! I will have to say their Coffee Flight is a bit pricier compared to other places I have had but is very delicious!! They give you an option if you would like your Coffee Flight Hot or Iced. I chose hot and they also ask what type of milk would you like in your coffee flight with the options of Oat milk, Whole milk, and skim milk, which is very nice! Lots of seating and they also have a brewery attached to the coffee shop with a lot of seating as well that you can sit at as well! The workers are very nice and polite!! Very clean coffee shop and so many cute little goodies such as candles, stickers and other Minnesota themed goods. The coffee tastes very high quality and loved each of the flavors that they offered in the coffee flight also I really love how beautifully decorated they are as well as the board that it comes with! So cute!! Will definitely come here again in the future!“
“I met up with some friends to do the wine and tarot card reading event for Halloween night. Tickets had to be pre-purchased. Located in a small business strip with a shared parking lot. When we got there we sat at an high table and ordered some wine glasses and snacks sold at the wine room while waiting for our readings. Wine and food was good. Overall experience was fun and I'd like to come Back and try other menu items too.“

“Our first time stopping at this location as we passed through while traveling. James from the second we walked in was an absolute class act! Customer service was phenomenal and recommendations were even better. We came in a little unsure of what we wanted and James gave us some excellent recommendations. The Bulldog and Shih Tzu did not disappoint! Huge dogs, loaded with toppings and the bread was delicious! Thank you James and Dog Park we will be back!“
“Had never been here before, stopped in for a burger. Ordered a Smoke Jumper Burger and was hugely impressed by how good it was. The lady working at the front desk was also very friendly and her service was perfect. Very very reasonably priced for the quality of the food and experience.“
“The beer can be hit or miss in my experience, for the cost especially if can be disappointing... Usually it's at least decent but have had a few beers that have made me just want a macro instead. Happy to have them here though, what a location and bike friendliness is so appreciated. Always worth supporting.“
“Best frozen custard I've ever had! It wasn't too sweet like others I've had before. They had quite a few options, I had the hot fudge sundae with banaa and my hubs had the banana split. The workers were all teens and they were super friendly and helpful. Parking spot is small because there is a drive thru (DRIVE THRU FOR FROZEN CUSTARD!! BRILLIANT!). Line went fast though. Wish we had this in the Bay Area. Wish we had better behaved teens with strong work ethic in the Bay Area. LOL! Cause these teens who work here would be a great example. You need to definitely head over to this spot. Great service and the best FROZEN CUSTARD!“
“Have to give this location a huge shoutout. The location is normally great. Foods amazing and the service is good. I went around 6:15 for the $3.14 Pi Day pizza deal and this place was slammed. 30+ minute wait time but they absolutely crushed it. The crew making and cooking the pizzas was moving like a well oiled machine, the younger cashier up front still had a fun positive attitude and interacted with each customer. He could have easily just gone into robot mode at that point. The guy in the black work shirt who was getting all the orders ready for pick up was on his A game. So much going on and you could tell it was stressful but he was doing his best to juggle getting the orders out and helping with any issues/requests.I’ve seen places fall apart due to less chaos so everyone there deserves some major praise for handling such a crazy rush.Oh yeah and the pizza was fabulous. Still made with care and not sloppy or rushed or anything.“
“We’ve eaten at the Block (on the Pawtio) several times. We’ve never had poor food or service, in fact, the excellent food and service keeps us coming back for more!! We also love that our dog is welcome to join us! To the staff at The Block: Keep doing what you’re doing, because it’s fantastic!“
“Casual and elbow-to-elbow seating replicates the feel of hanging out downtown or uptown, and the full-wall windows bring in excellent sunset light. The food options are excellent and the pretzel is good to split between three. A lot.of the sausage options clearly connect to my sense-memories from my experiences in Germany and taste authentic and delicious. The hometown takes on them (the Juicy Lucy Wurst is my favorite!) are also refreshing and filling.“
“I was here for a breakfast meeting. It was excellent. I had scrambled eggs and an excellent, fresh rosted coffee. The meeting room is quiet and well equipped. In the shop you find small exhibitions of local artists that make the atmosphere cozy. You can buy artworks in the shop. The staff is very friendly and served us quickly.“

“We had a large group for brunch on a Sunday. Staff was accommodating of the little ones - even brought some toys over for them which was a nice surprise. Great service, great food, we’ll be back!Kid-friendliness: We had three kids under 8 in our group, very accommodating.“
“Munkabeans Coffeehouse in Hopkins has a warm, fresh, homemade feel. From the blueberry muffins cooling on the counter to the local artists’ work displayed on the walls, the coffee shop has a neighborhood vibe that is very inviting. My husband ordered a Cinnabon Latte coffee and shared a sip with me. It was so good, I ordered my own. I also purchased some of the available artwork for sale. ❤️“
“Very inviting place. Nice open floor and very clean. Service is amazing and the beers they make are some of the best around. Nice snacks available as well. Always a fun experience when you go. Definitely one of the better places to go to. So much fun to be here. Even got to see some dogs joining the place. Outside seating is also fun. Looking for a nice place to meet friends at lunch it is a great choice.“
“Visited Boom Island Brewing Company and Taproom for their Lord of the Rings Night and it was an unforgettable experience! The dedication to cosplay transformed the place, making it feel as though we'd stepped right into Middle-earth. The theme-appropriate music was the cherry on top. I was there for 5 hours, and even though I missed the trivia, I had a fantastic time. It's worth noting they host trivia every Thursday at 6:30 pm, which I'll definitely not miss next time. The atmosphere was inviting, their kombucha was delicious, and the Hana Bistro food truck was top-notch. Highly recommend for an immersive themed evening!“
“Excelsior Brewing is now one of the best breweries in the twin cities. I used to think their beers were just ok, but they have seriously stepped up their game in the past couple of years. The strawberry cream ale, spiced dark ale (can’t remember the exact name!) and their s’mores beer are unique and tasty. Their location in excelsior is great and their trivia night on Thursdays is super fun. Don’t always head to Minneapolis for great beer- Excelsior is where it’s at!!!!“
“Came in to grab a quick bite to eat and stayed longer than planned! I was pleasantly surprised. The food was really good! The bartender, Michael, informed me of the special and it was so good! The food came out quick and it was during the lunch rush. Michael was an awesome bartender! I am not from the area and he made me feel so comfortable and welcomed. I will definitely be back!“
“The self-pour experience went much better than I expected. I poured 10oz hazy IPAs, which was fine, because I can always pour a few more oz if I want to. A few oz of Bear'leywine.? No problem.Eclectic food choices, with many meatless choices. Pizza crust was soft, but burnt on the bottom. Servers were very helpful.“
“Newly remodeled. Ordered the everything pizza (it was just ok), fish and chips were great, and so were the fried mushrooms. Overall, the food was good. We arrived at a peak time and got the last 2 available seats at 6 pm on a Friday (and the last parking spot in the lot). The bartender/server was very attentive and friendly. The fish and mushrooms were excellent and obviously made fresh to order. Being so busy, there was a lag or a bit of a kitchen miscommunication on food being ready, we waited 45 minutes, so a drink was given on the house - very nice. They were having a meat raffle, which was easy to participate in because the person handling it came to our table. The ceiling is high, so the acoustics made it a bit of a challenge to hear my friend talking, so we had to lean in to hear each other. I'd for sure go back because it's in such a convenient spot, and their tap beer selection was pretty good with something for everyone.“
“Been here a few times. Solid beer, lots of options, unique atmosphere. The winning point though is the owners. They're engaged, nice, and accommodating. We went in with our 2 and 4 year olds and they gave them suckers and a fun little whip cream treat!“
“Been here for after work happy hour twice in the last two weeks. Have had great service and I love the atmosphere. It's hard to find a fun place these days that isn't too loud so this is a real gem! I'm happy to have found Thirty Bales as a great option for catching up with friends.Parking: Free parking lot across the street“
“Excellent food with small town charm. Server was fantastic and the liver was cooked perfectly. Burger was hand made and perfect as well. Their version of Alfredo potatoes was very rich. The French onion soup had great flavor and ranks high on my list of soups.“
“Happy Garden Happy 2024! I wish I could just say sorry to say this. Tje food is and was great as usual. I wish I could have started my New Year eating some really good food like yours! It isnʼt like me to say someyhing like this. I hope it didnʼt get negative, I do get her point. And no bad feelings here. I want a good fortune and Im six percent Asian anyway Im a tiger on the Chinese zodiac and I grew up near Chinatown on Cermak Ave in Chicago Illinois USA!Please know Im sorry for tjis review and Im taking it down! Continue to Shine!Vegetarian options: Rice and vegetables!Parking: Accessible!“
“The food and service were good. The Atmosphere specifically the music kinda sucked... conversation while having to listen to hip-hop gangsta in the bedroom is not what a class restaurant should have on. I'm not bringing my kids there again.... private parties, play what you like. General crowd you'd be better off with some jazz, smooth or otherwise in the background.“
“I took my family to dinner Monday evening to Park Tavern celebrating my Daughters 34th Birthday. I knew everything would be delish as we have been coming to Park Tavern since 1998.?The Reuben is beyond.❤️❤️We ordered the cheese curds and boneless wings for appetizers. My Grandkids even ate all of their food which is rare. ?Family get togethers are a hit when I mention Park Tavern. I have never been disappointed with my food or service. I didnt win anything on pull tabs ? but hey cant win them all.Parking: Lots of parking.Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly“
“Decided to go check this place out yesterday before they closed for the season and it was a good idea the service was great really friendly and fast I really like how everyone help each other but it was really uncomfortable when the bartender started swearing when there's like a lot of kids around, it made my wife feel uncomfortable otherwise great place to enjoy some drinks, I'm totally going back next season“

“Stopped here in between events at Paisley Park to kill time. Coffee bar hours are from 8am-2pm so there was a limited coffee menu available.Ordered the hot nitro with a shot of dark chocolate. Pretty good coffee and very friendly employees.This is actually a family and pet friendly place with some games for kids and a patio area when the weather is nice. They also host different food trucks. There were a number of families with kids enjoying themselves while I was there.“
“Had a client lunch here and enjoyed the place very much Menu had good options I had the squash salad and added salmon for the protein A bit expensive as I think the meal was $ 20 but didn't seem outrageous Staff was pleasant and attentive The outdoor space looked nice with little lights which I always enjoy Tucked into a strip mall and right off the highway so easy spot to get to stop in if you are in the area!“
“It was a fun night at the Gold Nugget - lots of diners, families and folks having a great Saturday night. Nicole kept our drinks filled and updated on the status of our entrees coming out. We had a nice table next to the windows. My favorite Asada Bowl was delicious; I always think I'm going to try something else, but order it because it really is my favorite. My husband tries lots of different menu choices, and enjoys it every time. See you again soon.“
“Best burger I have ever had. (Coastal something burger, they said it was new). The patties and bacon were HOT flavorful, juicy and perfect. The toppings were COLD and amazing. The bun was fresh and toasted… My Burger does not “check the box”… My Burger is the BURGER TO BEAT! I’ll never visit MN without visiting My Burger.Service and cleanliness was ***** as well.Price was very reasonable. I’ve paid more for less many times!Easiest 5 starts I’ve ever given.Owners, keep up the good work. I don’t know how you do this good at scale… but please consider a franchise in UTAH!! ❤️?“
