“My bride and I stopped in for steak & lobster tonight. It was fantastic and we will definitely be returning. Though I have driven by 100s of times, this was my first time dining here. I read some of the negative reviews but we certainly didn't have any issues. Thanks for the great meals!”

“I had their Christmas Drink they are promoting and it was amazing. Very little bar, but friendly staff and friendly customers. Just wasn't too impressed with any of the decor, the ramp was a bit slippery also, but for the most part, it's a dive bar that I'll go to again.”

“just stopped in for some great Mei Mei's Cookies for the 4th of July weekend. The chocolate cookie with the Reese's Cup inside was the best! A great selection of cookies for everyone. Make the little ones smile when you show up with the Cookie's to Celebrate. Happy 4th of July everyone!🌟 🇺🇲🌟”

“Such a wonderful cafe! Friendly and warm, with lovely tables and chairs. Perfect for lunch or a snack, or just sitting with a hot cup of amazing coffee and a book :)”

“Highly recommend! We’ve had their coffee a few times in the mornings, but last night we tried their pizza and it was phenomenal! We love that they have a gluten free option for pizza as well as their Gluten Free Land bakery items!”

“Lily Thai was an excellent choice for a Sunday date night. We had a lot of appetizers which were all tasty. We all went out of our comfort zones and were pleasantly surprised. Food was fresh and hot (a little cilantro heavy- fyi). Price was reasonable, the restaurant was clean and staff was friendly. We will definitely be back!”

“The flatbreads are so nummy!”

“First time visit for my 60th birthday. Came for the live music (Brent and Sheena were fantastic), enjoyed a great burger, nice chat with the owners and beautiful sunset on the river. Looking forward to seeing the future upgrades.”

“We spent the morning soaking up sweet family time at a favorite breakfast spot, The Table on Main (you guessed it, on Main Street in downtown River Falls)— and it was the perfect way to celebrate together. We love (love) their enormous cinnamon rolls (basically a breakfast appetizer at this point 😍). Warm, gooey, and big enough to share… though no one really wants to! One of our favorite things about this cozy little café? The games and conversation cards they have ready at the table (with supply of board games in the back too). The kids look forward to them every time, and it gives us such a sweet chance to slow down, laugh, talk, and enjoy each other’s company. ☕️I love that coffee comes hot, in ginormous mugs, with a backup carafe on the table for instant refills.👌 Grateful for good food, good conversations, and the very best company. ❤️”

“We love coming to breakfast at the Kinni!”

“Great food and staff.”

“The beers here are great and several have funny names that make you want to try them.
Before this brewery I've never heard of a kumpir. Basically a fancy baked potato, but man it's good! Delicious toppings and crispy skin. Only thing I wish they did was supply a metal knife with the kumpir. It was hard to cut the crispy skin with a plastic knife.”

“Definitely the best bar in town. People of all ages and all types feel comfortable there. And I believe that is due to the atmosphere the owner and the bartenders create. I have seen lots of situations that might have gotten ugly at another bar shut down or turned into a laughing matter,thanks to the staff of Emma's.”

“Bought a peanut butter crispy bar, which was delicious, Pretty dense, but that’s a given.
And I also got a regular crispy bar. But honestly, the only thing good about it is that it’s massive. The taste wasn’t really…. A favorite. Purchased from Clarksville, Tennessee”
