“Menu is delicious and flex on spending, depending special of day. Activities, Music, and people are enjoyable while the parking is lame everyone works pretty well with it. Gotta get there first! Always a good time!”

“First time at the next stop bar and grill this last week and couldn’t have had a better or more fun experience! My mom brother and I stopped for drinks and pull tabs and we had a great bartender named Jamie! Mom and I went back again 2 days later and already felt so welcome and comfortable from Jamie:) will definitely be back and looking forward to it! :) also the burger my mom had gotten was a 10/10!!”

“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”

“Kristin was friendly, attentive, and efficient. Food was delicious and arrived faster than I would have expected.”

“One of the best restaurants on the east side of the twin cities, if you love wine with awesome food,this owner along with the staff, which is key, know how to serve the two together to have an unforgettable dinner. The wine shop has some phenomenal choices of wines you will not find anywhere else. Stillwater’s Domacin is a destination ❤️🍷🥂❤️”

“Delicious! Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting a great meal.”

“great service, food was ready quickly, and the food was delicious. price point was definitely good as well.”

“Delicious, fresh, hand made pizza. We love patronizing this local establishment. We'll definitely be back!”

“We had been to this place when it was called Whiteys several times, but this was our first visit since the change in ownership.

First thing I noticed was they kept the fresh squeezed juice... YAY!!!! I enjoy a variety of cocktails, but a screwdriver with fresh OJ is near the top of my list. So big thanks for that.

I was perusing the menu and it didn't take long for me to notice the lasagna w/side salad. I am a lasagna hound and snob, and have tried it at many establishments over the years. This offering was outstanding, perhaps my favorite (not made by my wife, of course).

We will be back.

P. S. we used to boat on the river and visited Stillwater a lot, but not since COVID. Howard's has been on our radar for a while. Hearing more about it at the Wits Reunion show at the Fitzgerald motivated us to get it done.”

“Love the atmosphere and food, and we love sitting in Lauren S’s section. Always happy and helpful!!”

“amazing food by an amazing crew. love love love love everything about black rooster.”

“We ordered an ice cream pie for Christmas Eve. We battled over the options, everyone wanted a different flavor. We settled on Carmel Collision. It was outstanding!”

“Great local coffee shop. Good coffee drinks and friendly staff!”

“Looking for a hidden gem of a local ramen shop you may have just found your new favorite here! The apps the bubble tea and the pork omg the pork. Their BBQ pork is absolutely out of this world good. The smokiness, the depth of flavor, the tenderness. No matter what dish you get this in you will be amazed. On top of the wonderful food the woman who I believe owns it but is always working the dining room is just the sweetest lady even. Thanks again for all the great food and memories. This will be a family favorite for as long as we live here!”

“Sweet atmosphere! Delicious food. The wine is unlike any menu in the area! Service was SO awesome! Love this little place. I felt absolutely elated to finally visit Olio. Olive Oil ice cream! Short Rib! Italian wine. 🍷Ciao!”

“GREAT food! bun, pho, egg rolls, wontons, everything is great! We used to frequent Que Viet in Eagan years ago and were thilled to see this in Woodbury!”

“Were there last Saturday night with friends for dinner and the festivities outside. Had a great time and very impressed with the service. Some of our party were very late (got lost), but the server and host both were very accommodating. It's been years since we've been there from out-of-state, but thought both the food and event were great. Only small criticism, get a band that plays mostly German songs - don't need to hear oldies from this country at German event (e.g. Neil Diamond?).”

“Hands down the best place in town for coffee!”

“If we are going out for sit down pizza this is our go to spot. We moved from AZ two years ago and this is hands down some of the best we have found since we have been here. You can’t go wrong with any pizza, the Brussels sprouts are unreal, and every flavor of wing is good. Always great vibes here, family friendly, and the staff is awesome!”

“We had Old Southern Bbq cater for our wedding and it was absolutely an amazingly positive experience! The director of catering, Amy, was so helpful and on top of everything. The catering team was absolutely wonderful! All of our guests ranted and raved about the food all night, especially the potato salad and the cornbread muffin tops. Would definitely recommend!”

“I stopped by last night for dinner with one particular menu item in mind… It was the pozole de puerco! I have had people in general rave about pozole and folks in the reviews were raving about it too so I wanted to give it a shot. I have actually passed by this restaurant a ton and have wanted to try the pozole but this was mostly during the summer and I am usually not craving something warm when it is hot out. However, with the cooler temperatures, something hot is just what I was needing this weekend!

You get a generous amount of pozole with two tostadas, lettuce, raw onions, avocado and some “mild” salsa. I say “mild” because it still had a good bit of heat to it! I love some tostadas and these were excellent. The pozole was hardy and they give you a fair amount of meat too. I thought it was good but it might just not be my style of soup. However, I still finished the whole bowl so there’s that. I have also been recommended the tacos here so if I am in the area again, I will probably try those next time!”

“Great coffee, great people. Get some Nitro brew!”

“We love going here for a nice dinner out! Great cocktails compliment an enjoyable menu with lots of great options to choose from. Staff is always friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend!”

“Game Nights Monday - 5 til late.”

“Unbelievably good! Stellar customer service and hands down the best burger I've ever had. The bacon cheese fries are a MUST.”

“Best coffee and boba tea shop in the area!!!!”

“have only been a few times but everytime, the owner is always working very hard and with a smile. he went above and beyond to make my son's day by helping him get a Pikachu Keychain out of the little claw machine. drinks are amazing and the cupcakes are absolutely delicious 😋 coming from a mom, this place is perfect for taking your kiddos for a sweet treat”

“Awesome place to hang out”

“I love the Mediterranean wrap and gyros! They have excellent cocktails and our bartender/server (Aiden or Haiden?) was lots of fun!”

“Excellent pizza and cheesesteak sandwiches! Kids loved it as well! Food was ready quickly and staff was very friendly. My faves are the Spicy Tono, South Philly and Truffle Fries. Everything was delicious!”
