50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants White Bear Lake

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Best Sub sandwich in town!! Bonus the ice cream and Dole Whip flavors are worth the weekly visit!!“

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

“Yummy blue berry scones and of course coffee!“

“wonderful experience tonight. great walleye tacos and took great care of us and made my wife feel special on a day to celebrate. 🙏thank you! 5 Stars“

“The Alchemist leans fully into its name — moody, experimental, and a little theatrical in all the best ways. It's the kind of speakeasy that feels secretive but still welcoming, with dim lighting, pulsing music, and staff who make the whole experience feel effortless and fun. The drinks were a mix of hits and misses — some a bit too experimental for my taste (lots of smoke, spice, or unexpected flavor pairings), but the ones that landed, I ordered more than once. The balance on the successful cocktails was excellent — creative without feeling gimmicky. What really stood out was the staff: genuinely kind, attentive, and clearly passionate about what they're doing. They walked me through the menu, gave great recommendations, and seemed to enjoy the process as much as the guests. The music and ambience sealed the night — lively but still intimate, with just the right dose of mystery. Overall, a strong 4/5: not every cocktail will be for everyone, but the service, energy, and atmosphere make it absolutely worth visiting — especially if you like your night out to feel like an experience, not just a drink.“

“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!“

“Great spot and hard working staff during 4th of July. Thank you for being open so we could enjoy the fireworks and a drink :) 🇺🇸💕“

“We recently got married (October 2024) and Lake Elmo Inn catererd our wedding. It was absolutely AMAZING! We had the prime rib carving station and the walleye as well as the duck soup and salad. Our guests are still talking about the food. We decided to upgrade to the "LEI Experience" which means each of your guests get a warm hand towel, an intermezzo sorbet, and a chocolate covered strawberry!!! We were over the moon with the service on the night of the wedding and all our communication with LEI throughout the process. Special shoutout to Kayla G. who was the most patient, professional, and kind event manager! She answered every single one of my (many) questions and she did so with a smile! On the night of the wedding, we were SO impressed with how fast the servers were able to get to each of our guest tables and keep the flow going. It was seamless, seriously. We cannot recommend Lake Elmo Inn Catering enough. They've total pro's and just know that you'll be in good hands. Thank you again to everyone on the team for your hard work to make the dream come true!! <3“

“Today was my first time eating Herr and it was very good.“

“Accidentally arrived at Brunson's for lunch because the place down the road where we were supposed to go was closed. Best service I've had anywhere in America since before covid. Food was excellent, made from scratch, and doubt anyone could go wrong on the menu. Highly recommend.“

“Amazing food, really kind staff“

“We just had the most amazing cheesesteaks! If you want the real east coast south Philly cheesesteak....you must go here!“

“Always love stopping by mudslinger's while out running errands. The only downside is that the line can get long in the mornings, especially on weekends. Despite this, they work quickly and I love supporting a small local business!

Kid-friendliness: They have a kids cocoa“

“Excellent place for sushi. Great atmosphere as well.“

“I love the Woodbury Crumbl! It’s always clean and the staff are always friendly, they never miss a “WELCOME TO CRUMBLLLLL!!” 😆 I’ve never had a bad experience and I’m there at least twice a month! I’ve had not so great experiences at other locations, but can always count on reliability and quick efficiency at the Woodbury location!“

“I am not in the area to visit this business but if you are or passing through Minnesota stop in. Tell them Josh sent you! They are kind and caring about their community and gave free meals to the Homeless. So please give them a visit. *I heard the food is a #10 too! Thanks Kong’s Kitchen!“

“I enjoy "mining" the $2 bins for hidden treasures!“

“Excellent food and service, but they rush your dining enjoyment, pushing your main meal while still enjoying appetizers, suggesting they want higher table turnover over customer satisfaction. We felt rushed, likely won't return.“

“Beautiful patio and great pizza and beer!“

“Amazing atmosphere, great food and reasonably priced. The live music is a plus!!!“

“My human gets out of the car and goes to the truck. She comes back with a plastic disk and then we sit there for a while. The disk buzzes and flashes and the my human goes back to the truck and comes back with the best food ever. I don’t get to eat the goat tacos because they give me the midnight poops but the chicken quesadilla is the best.“

“Excellent service, got our food really fast! Generous portions and delicious.“

“The Gnome has great food and excellent service.“

“I rarely go out to eat because usually the food is overpriced and disappointing. It’s been so long since I enjoyed a perfect burger I forgot how good they can be. I am not kidding, the dream burger is some kind of special.“

“We had a Fantastic! time this weekend at the wine, cheese and chocolate tasting! Lots of fun treats to be had. We will be back... Thank you!“

“My husband & I spent the majority of our lives in So Cal & Arizona. We were fortunate enough to have some of the best mexican food in the US, with the culture weaved into our daily lives. Moving to WI, we struggled to find the same. We finally found an authentic mexican restaurant. The food was so good & the staff was friendly & attentive. I am so willing to drive the 30 mins it took us to get there. Thank you for the great food!!“

“Stopped by after going to a show at the Dugout because we wanted some vegetables and had such a pleasant experience! Our bartender Derek took great care of us and was extremely friendly and attentive. Appreciated the popcorn and the bruschetta salad special was delicious. The vibes at Wildwood are super cozy as well. Definitely worth popping in for a drink or a meal or a snack!“

“I’ve been on this earth for 45 years, and I like to think of myself as a bit of an ice cream connoisseur — and I can say with full confidence that Sprinkles has the best-tasting ice cream I’ve ever had! Every flavor is perfection, and it’s served up by some of the kindest teens in our community — seriously, they make every visit feel joyful.

This place has quickly become a neighborhood favorite, and I’m not sure how I’ll survive the winter without it! Maybe the owner could keep a few flavors scooping over at Mavericks until it’s warm enough for Sprinkles to open again?? Just saying — I’d be first in line! 🍦💛“

“Sweeney's was fantastic for hosting our large event. Their Oak Room space was perfect for a group of 120ish people, event staff were extremely helpful in setting up food, drinks, and fun for our guests and took great care of us the night of. Highly recommend as both a neighborhood bar, and as a place to host an event of any size.“

“I've been getting takeout for my family here for many years and the food is always a hit. Service ranges from gregarious to down-to-business depending on which family member is staffing the counter. Getting an order fulfilled around meal times can be slow but they are up front about that when they're running behind, so it's my choice. Overall I love having this option and am happy to support a local business.“

“Our kitchen is open. We focus on serving high quality, freshly made to order bar food, with a twist. We offer food specials as well as surprise Gourmet chef specials. We have awesome Bloody Mary's one of the best I've had. We offer drink specials 2 4 1s on domestic beer and premium rails. Our neighborhood is being revamped which is awesome for the bar and community. So if your looking for a cool neighborhood dive bar with awesome staff and great food come Check out The Saint Paul Saloon. P.s The owner is on site and loves to interact with the patrons of the bar.“

“Sweet Paris Restaurant in Woodbury, Minnesota. Spacious, luxurious and somewhat cozy space. Tom loves the food and drinks here. The flavors are sweet, full of Paris. This is a place to relax and enjoy cuisine that everyone cannot miss. Sweet Paris Creperie and Cafe 📍 265 Radio Dr K, Woodbury, MN 55125.“

“Jimmy’s is always good. The staff is outstanding! Food is very good, great specials! Wild rice soup best I have tasted ever! Bingo two mornings and two nights very well run!“

“Please ensure you retain your receipt for a week or so, until your transaction clears from your bank. On 2/15, we dined and We paid with our debit card. We also provided a $20 cash tip to our waiter name Eve. We are perplexed as to how we were overcharged. The tipping section on our bill was crossed off by us. It does not make sense for us to be overcharged. We will be contacting you again to discuss this matter further. The amount on the receipt differs from the amount you charged us. There is a discrepancy of $30. Could you please clarify the reason for this overcharge?!! We've called multiple times and everytime, you guys said there were no management on duty. smfh!!“

“Great place for families with kids or a date night for young couples.

Food is decent and the staff are usually solid. Like with anything “chain” related anything could be hit-or-miss.

It’s Olive Garden. It’s affordable Italian. It’s what you’re going to get.“

“We love Urban Wok! The food is great, friendly staff and a family fun atmosphere. They have rescued me a few times with healthy/quick dinners to last minute catering. Highly recommend.“

“Very high quality food. Steak was amazing and the salad was fantastic. Portions were great for the pricing. Lots of places now have poor salads and this place had an amazing salad. Very fresh and great mixed greens. Great service and easy parking. Would come back again and again.“

“Went on the hot air balloon ride last Friday with my mother in law. for a birthday present. Waited 3 years for the weather to coop. And it was well worth the wait! It was beautiful and peaceful. The guys did an awesome job and I would recommend it to anyone. Also had some hard apple cider before and it was very tasty!“

“Super friendly staff, fast service even on busy days, and the best blizzards around! The employees always have a smile on their faces, and the one time a mistake was made on my order, not only did they fix it, they offered me a refund for having to wait a few minutes for them to correct it. Best ice cream in the neighborhood!“

“Muy buen servicio, empleados muy atentos.“
