Restaurants in White Bear Lake

“Great food every time, with so many options to choose from, and great people!”

“My all time favorite boba shop. Ive been to a handful of different boba shops around the eastside of the twin cities but this place has the perfect boba pearls, every time! They also have my favorite topping, cheese foam! Many places don't have cheese foam, but this place is one that does have it.”

“They serve super tasty, fresh sandwiches, salads and so much more! I love their Oriental salad and Zany Mullany sandwich combo. Open for breakfast too, Service is fast and prices are very reasonable. The staff is so fun -- I always come away happy that I stopped in!”

“We worked with Keys for our wedding, and they made us an absolutely gorgeous cutting cake and multiple sheet cakes with different flavors. The cake was a huge hit and disappeared pretty much immediately. Keys is a fantastic choice for weddings or any event that needs a delicious dessert!”

“Excellent food! Skillfully prepared and seasoned beautifully. Have visited twice and will go back for sure. Also, their sister restaurant, Mizu, is amazing as well.”

“Food is good. Stopped in for dinner last night. 12 bucks for a Sam Adams Oktoberfest on tap seems a little excessive.”

“Authentic Turkish flavor that is much less “heavy” and more homemade in taste than many competitors. Check out if looking for a Mediterranean meal in this area!”

“I just ate here for lunch amazing pizza ? do not pass this spot up thinking it’s another pizza shop it’s not. Real Authentic people and pizza don’t miss the chance to taste how simple pizza can be, top 3 pizza places in this state if you ask me!”

“My husband and I were in the area so we decided to stop in. We were on a time crunch so we ordered some easy stuff such as finger foods and fried rice. I was in the mood for something beefy but wasn't really in the mood for pho or anything soupy so I ordered the beef bulgogi instead. The food took a while to be served but the server was pretty cool so we didn't mind. When we got our food, the finger food was pretty good. The spicy fried chicken we ordered was good. The fried rice was bland. The bulgogi, however was disappointing. Instead of using a type of meat with some marble in it, they used the eye round, the leanest part of the cow, and grilled it up. I get it. It's already sliced thinly for pho but the eye round pieces that was used was pretty thick. The whole thing was dry and chewy. There was barely any sauce glazed over the meat. Please don't be cheap. If you're going to put a certain dish on your menu, serve it properly with the correct type of meat. If you don't want to use a more expensive cut such as ribeye, which is the correct section of beef to use, then go with the chuck meat. We hear good things about the sushi so maybe next time we'll stop in for that.”

“Haven’t been here in a long time and picked it up last nite. Highly recommend! All dishes we got were fresh and delicious! My daughter has celiac and sam said anything on the menu can be gluten free, she loved the chicken and broccoli and he even packaged it separately to ensure it was safe for her. Highly recommend!”

“Helping others in need is 💯 in my book, keep up the good work!”

“Amazing service, quick and delish!”

“This place is a solid dive bar that takes you right back to the '70s. It's not fancy, just good drinks at great prices. The place is super relaxed, and the crowd is friendly and laid-back. It’s in the heart of downtown. This bar is an adults type place, though—wouldn't recommend bring the kids. If you're looking for a no-frills spot to grab a drink and relax, this is it. Highly recommend!”

“Quality ingredients, affordable meals, comfortable atmosphere. one of my favorite stops!”

“First time here. You order at the counter here, then food is brought out. The pancakes and sausage were fantastic! Nice little place to meet someone to catch up or stop to grab a coffee. Also have outdoor seating for the nicer days.”

“Just discovered this little gem in White Bear Lake! Amazing gelato and locally owned by an incredible family! The kids and I have already gone several times and plan to head back soon.”

“Best hot chocolate I’ve ever had”

“Yummy blue berry scones and of course coffee!”

“Frankie was great at recommending the right single malt!”

“The ladies working the drive up were super friendly, easy to understand in the conversation, and even up sold me to a large coffee! I was met with smiles at the window, which made my day. Emily is the best!”

“We have been regulars for over 5 years and absolutely LOVE this place. The sesame chicken, PHO, spring rolls, won tons and pad thai always come out perfect. So so good and reasonably priced!”

“Best food i ever had i had never eaten a mexican food like this but they made this food with love and this is the best mexican food truck ever please stop by to order food it will make your day”

“I always find caribous to be comfortable inviting places when I dine-in and pretty fast through the drive-thru. My orders are always correctly done. And tastes really good.”

“Overall great atmosphere and the food is quite good other than the fries which gave me a yucky tummy from the grease. I was shocked, however, to be charged $7 for hot tea! SEVEN DOLLARS. Seriously? It's water and a cheap tea bag. 🤨 Another reason to stick with lukewarm tap water when eating out. Also be aware that there is a 2.9% fee for using a credit card. I'm not sure if it's noted on the menu but it's on the bottom of the check.”

“Great people! Great food! Monthly specials are fun experiments that sometimes end up on the menu. If you haven’t been in a few years, give them another try. The current team and menu are awesome.”

“Visited soft open tonight as we saw the info when we were in White Bear Lake on Sat. Service and atmosphere were great, a bit disappointed in menu and pricing as it is the same as the Alchemist. $90 for pizza & 3 beverages!!”

“delicious food, great prices, and great employees!”

“This was my first time and it won’t be the last. Thank you for a spectacular dinner last Saturday night. A few of my neighbors and I had a great time. Hopefully we can bring more people next time.”

“Food was good. However I wish they had larger pizzas than family size 16 inches. 20 inches can provide my leftovers. I also wish they were deals that included family size pizzas”

“The best tap list in the Twin Cities northeast metro and guaranteed to have everyone’s favorite appetizer and meal on the menu. It’s a must stop for anyone visiting White Bear Lake and has the best patio in the historical downtown area. Whether you are visiting for the first time or lived here your whole life, you’ll love this place!”

“Tuesday tacos , tater tots , burgers , and the ribs are some of my favorites. And if you're a wing fan be ready as they are huge !!😋🍻”

“Recent given a bag of these. Super convenient that they came frozen so that we could bake them whenever we wanted. The sprinkle and coffee toffee cookies were AMAZING. Obviously homemade and delicious! Seriously can’t wait to treat myself to more”

“Post step 3 here had me WILDIN! The quarter game, 8 games of shuffle board, and some pickle beers was just what the kid needed. This is the kinda place I would spent way too much time at in retirement. LOVE IT!”

“Tried this place for lunch and Absolutely LOVED it! Portions are amazing flavor was wonderful and it was fresh not reheated chicken in the stir fry and sesame chicken definitely going back to try more dishes”

“The atmosphere was lovely! Dark inside, the scent of the bar was wonderful. It smelled of incense and a cologne type room spray. My boyfriend and I went for our three year anniversary. The drinks were very lovely, though they did take a while. It was our first time at a cocktail bar so we were patient with the fact that the kind of drinks we had would take a while + the other guests also ordering. Our last drink order was forgotten which was a bit annoying, but it happens and wasn't a deal breaker. We would definitely come back to try more of their delicious cocktails and enjoy the ambience!”

“I'm soooo bummed. What happened Dunn Bros? So sorry to see u go...”

“the manager is just as rude as he was when I worked there years ago. he was VERY rude to my dad when he came in tonight and im upset my dad didn't let me go in there and say something. I don't care if it's busy and you are overwhelmed, I worked there for years and understand the stress, but you don't tell a customer you can't do something when you absolutely can, and it wasn't even your order you were doing so you should have kept your bald head back in the kitchen with your nasty tone to yourself. Dee is one of the worst managers ever, besides Nick and Terry. Dawn needs to put Dee through some kind of managment kindness courses.”

“I've always loved this place! Caribou is really my favorite coffee shop. The way they do business is so genuine and personal! Not to mention the coffee is AMAZING. 10/10 would recommend getting coffee here! Atmosphere is also great for doing homework and studying. Clean tables and bathroom, plus cozy chairs and a fireplace!”

“Serves nice cold beers. Good music.”

“Great customer service and very friendly and care about us customer's. Shout out to loukis and the rest of the staff. Would love to see a recognization of some sort for the employees that above and beyond every single time i'm here.”

“This is hands down the best happy hour spot! 50% off drinks! I come here with coworkers all the time and Tammy is amazing!! She remembers what we drinks and eat and it is our favorite spot. Pizza is good!”

“Thank you Adam and the manager for 5 star service! I found a Culvers 🪙 coin in a #geocache for a Free Chicken sandwich. Even though they hadn't see this type of coupon before they did honor it. I got the spicy chicken was hot and delicious. Service was Fast and friendly. Restaurant and restroom was clean. Chicken came with lettuce, tomato and mayo. I think it would be even better with some ranch on it.
Thanks guys. I'll be back!!”

“The pizza here is way underrated. Yes a quality pizza these days are gonna run ya 25-30 bucks. Just the way it is. And for that price I want my pizza generously made, this place hasn't failed me yet. Absolutely my go to spot now”

“A friend recommended Pezzo for a ladies night out. My first time there. Food, service and servers were great and it was a very busy Home Coming night. I recommend it highly. I’m very thankful for the extra service I got when I needed it.”
