45 Best American Restaurants near Somerset

“I have tried almost every mix available and recently had a bloody at a golf course that was amazing. When i saw it poured from a bottle i was amazed. It was Sportsman’s red neck juice. All i can say is i though it was a mad from scratch bloody. To have this amazing flavor from a mix is amazing. Now i am on the hunt to find some for home.“

“Second visit. Been amazing both times. First was during COVID, second was last night. I noticed the exact same both times. The staff works together so fluently. All of them take care of all the tables. You can get anything you need at any time. I have never seen a crew that promotes each other as this crew does. I hope everyone enjoys good service and great food. If so, please visit Bass Lake Cheese Factory.“

“Sportsman’s is a legit staple in our home. It’s often our families go to for a nearby spot to eat, and we frequently place to go orders. You can’t go wrong with any of their burgers, their new fry style is delicious, and their fish baskets are awesome! Everything is quick, flavorful and well done. We love being business neighbors with them as well, all of the ladies are a pleasure!“

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

“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.“

“Great food, friendly service, reasonable prices and seriously the best cinnamon rolls ever!!“

“Lisa G., Janae was our waitress, too. We were the “3-J’s”: Joe, Junna, and Janae. Janae was swift, attentive, beautiful, and cheerful. She was always right there to refill my water glass. I wonder if she ran track in high school; she was fast!“

“Best meal! We by chance stopped in for supper and a drink this past Friday night and were impressed by what great food we all had. 5 of us ordering different items and all were meals were so fresh and delicious! And service was outstanding! We would definitely recommend the Mad Capper to anyone who is visiting Stillwater!“

“If you want to have an excellent breakfast, you won't be disappointed, you definitely get your money's worth. Great food & excellent service.“

“Charming & scenic little place tucked away on the St Croix River. Look forward to returning!“

“Every single dish we had was phenomenal! We gave compliments to the chef on truly inspired creations. Our favorite may have been the Brussels sprouts, but we truly loved everything we tried. The service was great - friendly, quick, knowledgeable. Thank you to the whole team for making our 20th Anniversary celebration so wonderful.“

“Trout Benedict was amazing. Farm fresh eggs with golden yolks. Trout patty crisp on the outside. Homemade Hollandaise. Perfection.“

“We owe Meisters a huge apology! We were staying at William O’Brien State Park for the night and the campground clerk recommended them for take out dinner, not mentioning that the largest festival ‘Taco Daze’ was in full force.

The girl who answered the phone was obviously stressed, maintained her composure, took our order, was polite and patient with our ignorant selves.

When my husband picked up the orders, he was met with a packed parking lot and full house. No worries, the food was hot and ready. I had the 1/2 chicken dinner with salad and baked potato. My husband had the double Meisters burger with cheese and fried onions and French fries. Both meals were delicious. I highly recommend.“

“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 ❤️🍷🥂❤️“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you’re looking for the perfect small-town spot with big flavor, this is it! From the moment you walk in, you feel that warm, welcoming vibe that only a true hometown place can deliver. The staff is beyond amazing—friendly, attentive, and genuinely happy to see you. 😊 Now, let’s talk food… this burger is everything you hope for in a bar burger. Full of flavor, just the right amount of greasy, and best of all—it won’t break the bank. Pair it with an ice-cold beer that always hits the spot, and you’ve got the ultimate comfort combo. 🍔🍻 What really sets this place apart, though, is the people. You don’t just feel like a customer—you feel like family. Between the incredible food, the atmosphere, and the team that makes it all happen, this place deserves every bit of its five stars. Highly recommend—whether you’re local or just passing through, this is a stop you won’t want to miss! 👍🥇🫶🏻❤️“

“We had a great experience with their Santa Claus festivities. One of the best bloody I’ve had in a long time.“

“Old Saloon describes this place perfectly. It has such a unique atmosphere, with a wide variety of very well priced food. I love their brats and hotdogs, very good flavor and size for under $8.
I gave them 4 stars for service only because it took a while to get our food. They were PACKED and doing their best, but it does not have a lot of extra space and the kitchen is small.
Everyone and everything else about service was great though!“

“Place is great. They aren’t lazy about preparing their food and use quality ingredients. It shows. Hand breaded chicken to order. Fresh burgers. What’s not to like?? Great service and great owner too (we met him the first time here). We’ll be back as much as we can!“

“Let's not let minors drink and then boot them out at closing time without knowing if they are getting home safe.“

“Champs staff went above and beyond to help us with my mom‘s surprise 60th birthday. They helped with every detail of planning, ask questions that I didn’t think about. And we’re so flexible. It was so easy to plan a party, knowing that the service, food, drinks, was going to be exceptional. The room rental is extremely reasonable for all of the amenities that you have. Having a private bathroom in their party room was a huge bonus. We had everything we needed plus so much more. Thank you for being a huge part of our family’s memories.“

“Fabulous service, delicious food and great prices!!! I’m glad we found this place, we look forward to our next visit!“

“I randomly chose this place during a google search for all day breakfast near Stillwater, my significant other got the banana bread French toast and I got the taco salad with chicken. Chicken wasn’t dried up, the bean to salad ratio was on point, and the salsa wasn’t overly spicy but still had a little bit of a kick. The banana bread French toast wasn’t entirely what we expected but it was delicious, had a bit of an unexpected crunch due to caramelization and it was amazing. Our waitress Kathy was amazing! Checking in on us when we didn’t have our mouths full of food and was great with our out of the ordinary requests for peanut butter and an extra bowl so I didn’t make a total mess of the taco salad. 10/10 service! Will definitely be coming back again Thank you Kathy for making our first experience here amazing!“

“We had a fantastic time at No Neck Tony’s! I reached out to Jessica, the manager, to see if they could recreate my wedding’s signature cocktail as a surprise for my husband while we celebrated our 10-year anniversary. She was incredibly kind and even went out of her way to buy an ingredient they didn’t have on hand. The other cocktails were also excellent and the Halloween decor truly stole the show! If you're a Halloween lover like me, this place is an absolute must in October!“
