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!“

“FABULOUS! My husband and I rarely try new places but this time we decided to go out of the norm. Cannot say enough great things. We sat at the bar and Timmy took care of us. Chef’s kiss 😘 We will be back!“

“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.“

The wine shop has some phenomenal choices of wines you will not find anywhere else. Stillwater’s Domacin is a destination ❤️🍷🥂❤️“

“Great food and drinks and fun atmosphere!“

“The Freight House is enough of an experience in itself to make the food sort of play second fiddle. It's all good and quite value priced. Super kid and whole gang friendly, pets welcome on the large patio. Staff friendly and accommodating. Try the Chicken Wild Rice soup. It's the best in the city.“

“Visited on Saturday evening of March 8, 2025. Excellent service, I can’t recommend this place enough. The bartender that was on was super friendly and helpful and we got great food. Literally the only thing I can say about this place that I don’t like is they aren’t open enough days! Definitely worth a stop try their chicken and cheese pitas.“

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

“From Andy's, to Pottings, to Hanks, and now Doboy's. Your establishment took care of our little reunion on the 21st. Thanks for the perks, the fine food, and taking the time to answer all my questions leading up to our little party. Wishing you success during Doboy's honeymoon and for years to come. Thanks again! Chris Speaking for the Somerset Class of 1984“

“Good food, great service. Cool atmosphere. Wide menu variety. Wife had pasta which was very good! I had the Swedish meatballs, which although good was a little bland. They could use some seasoning of some sort. But, they were still very good. The service was outstanding here. And they have etabs and pull tabs. Good, full bar also. Would definitely go here again for a meal or a drink.“

“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.“

“Great service. loved the music by The Mockingbirds! We will be back in July when they play again! Thank you!“

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

“Good food and quiet. No loud music. Good pie. Good service too.“

“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!“

“We love Portside- always a fun atmosphere and the food is really good!😁😁😁“
