Subway
Nov 23, 2009 by Roxanne from Hutchinson

Overall Rating: 1
Food:[1] • Service:[1] • Atmosphere:[1]

• Man did not pay attention to busy eating in back room. Very unclean.

“Sandwiches were to sloppy. Very soggy lettuce. I did not realize they gave food away. Employees talk too much and don't listen to customers' orders. Did not heat my sandwich. Very poor service. You need something else to replace these poor subways. Smashed bread wow.”

Benchwarmer Bob's Sports Cafe
Nov 21, 2009 by aaron from joel

Overall Rating: 2
Food:[10] • Service:[10] • Atmosphere:[1]

• I liked the staff being so kind.
• I didn't like how the place was haunted.

“Its a great place. Only problem I couldn't notice but the place is freaking haunted. I believe to have seen an Indian chiefs shadow behind me when I was washing my hands and I also smelt sage in the air. I didn't know if thats what kind of incense they where or what, but the presence of that place is bad other than that the food is terrific and the staff is just wonderful.”

Woody'S On Main

Overall Rating: 2
Food:[2] • Service:[4] • Atmosphere:[6]

• Wait staff is nice.
• Food and drinks.

“The food is way too salty. They are now using new breading on mushrooms and onion rings. Also the drinks are very weak. Hit up the Chocho down the road if you want good food and drinks.”

Hard Times Cafe Inc
Nov 11, 2009 by germ from Minneapolis

Overall Rating: 4
Food:[1] • Service:[1] • Atmosphere:[2]

• I liked the arrogance.
• I didn't like the stupidity and apathy.

“Nasty bathroom, bunch of jerks, don't know why their espresso is so poorly extracted, must be fixed, this restaurant is an abomination to Minneapolis. They parade themselves as worker owned and to be honest, I think that is great, however they are excellent at giving co-ops a bad name. Perhaps a more successful co-op will find its roots in the twin cities. Just look at north country co-op. The neighborhood won't be around much longer anyway, good riddance. Starbucks won't you please just make some Vegan offerings and kick the curb to the street.”

Mickey's Diner
Nov 6, 2009 by Cassandra

Overall Rating: 3
Food:[5] • Service:[5] • Atmosphere:[1]

• Staff was friendly.
• Dirty atmosphere.

“Went here some time ago. Its famous for being in the movie Mighty Ducks if my memory serves me correct. The ventilation is bad, its extremely tiny, there was garbage napkins and forks etc. on the floor underneath are table, tables were dirty. The list goes on. The staff was friendly.”

Culvers Restaurant
Nov 6, 2009 by Culvers Enthusiast from Minnesota

Overall Rating: 9
Food:[10] • Service:[9] • Atmosphere:[9]

• Great food, friendly employees.
• Sometimes its totally packed out.

“The Culvers in Owatonna is very nice. It's staff is very friendly and try to get your food as fast as possible. The food is not your typical fast food tasting food. It taste like a burger from a real sit down restaurant. It was very clean and you can tell the employees enjoy their jobs.”

Otter Supper Club
Nov 3, 2009 by Summer Guests from Minneapolis

Overall Rating: 9
Food:[8] • Service:[8] • Atmosphere:[9]

• Friendly atmosphere for a nice get away up north, great music!
• Seating in the cozy bar is limited, get there early.

“The restaurant and bar are small town comfortable - resort type atmosphere. The rustic furniture in the bar and the hotel makes one feel like they are in a lodge setting. The staff is friendly and enjoy meeting the vacationers. The bands every weekend are fun. So one can dance the night away, partake in a few cocktails and room all under one roof. Again seasonal the summer is crazy the winter is cozy. Great food but a bit expensive ask for the bar menu!”

Charlie's Cafe
Oct 21, 2009 by frank from albert lea mn

Overall Rating: 10
Food:[10] • Service:[10] • Atmosphere:[10]

• Food, prices and scenery.
• Mostly boothes for seating (little boothes).

“Classic small town restaurant with very fair prices for times we live in. I had breakfast there about 7:30 in the morning. Very friendly waitress and quick ordering and service. I'll be stopping there again. The lemon margin pie looked awesome sitting on the counter, I hope I'm there during lunch so I can try a piece.”

Maries Casual Dining
Oct 6, 2009 by Karen from Twin Cities

Overall Rating: 9
Food:[10] • Service:[10] • Atmosphere:[7]

• Waitress was friendly and smiled a lot.
• Dark dining area, could use a facelift.

“I had the weekday lunch buffet. The salad bar was well stocked with a variety of toppings. The salads and soup appeared homemade, excellent! I also enjoyed the spaghetti, shrimp, fried chicken & fried fish. Looking for a quick inexpensive lunch, it's the place to be.”

Subway
Oct 2, 2009 by Steve from Sioux City

Overall Rating: 1
Service:[4] • Atmosphere:[5]

• I don't have to go back.
• Sandwiches were laced with anti-Christ bacteria.

“The sandwiches at this particular Subway are very bad. I have tried it twice. They must use some sort of cleaning chemical that remains and is contacted by the food. As a result, it has a taste that you know isn't quite right while your eating it. But worst of all, after about 1 hour your anus will explode with the force of all nuclear weapons that have ever been detonated on Planet Earth. Except for the fact that it is a quick and easy way to paint your bathroom ceiling off brown, It's horrible. I would avoid at all costs.”

Timber Jack Smokehouse & Saloon Inc

Overall Rating: 2
Food:[4] • Service:[1] • Atmosphere:[4]

• Clean.
• Service

“Had a group of 24 which they knew we were coming days before that and it took 1 hour and 40 minutes to get the last person served their food. As we were leaving someone else was asking if they were going to get there food that night.”

Cossetta's
Sep 13, 2009 by Joel from Burlington, VT

Overall Rating: 9
Food:[10] • Service:[7] • Atmosphere:[8]

• The best pizza. Period.
• Can be loud and crowded when there is an event at the nearby civic center.

“Every time that I am in my home state of Minnesota, I go out of my way to go to Cosetta's. The pizza is the best I've ever had and spoils me for anywhere else. The deli side is authentic and impressed my chef girlfriend. (She even had my Pop ship me some pies on ice here to Vermont for my birthday, amazing)One of few places that I rave about. Just unbelievable pizza.”

Dayton Bar & Grill
Sep 4, 2009 by T.V. from Otsego

Overall Rating: 10
Food:[10] • Service:[10] • Atmosphere:[10]

• Service and food.

“The Dayton bar does have a credit/debit card machine for convenience along with a change machine for the pool players. Has an excellent happy hour from 4-6, Monday thru Friday and noon till 2 on Saturday and Sunday. Excellent food specials throughout the week. The burgers are the best - fresh 1/2 lbs patties. The staff is excellent in making you feel welcomed - one of those places you won't get sideways stares when you walk in for the first time. If you know what I mean. They also have great music selection. I love Dayton bar!”

Delano Bowling Center Inc
Aug 26, 2009 by mary from crystal

Overall Rating: 9
Food:[9] • Service:[9] • Atmosphere:[9]

• Nice atmosphere and excellent food. Staff aims to please customers.
• Road construction sometimes makes it difficult for all to access.

“Shooters Bar and Grill is attached to the bowling center. Every time I have been there, the food was excellent. The entire place is very clean. They have a huge deck with tables and umbrellas which is nice for cocktails and smokers. On Saturday evenings from fall thru winter there are a variety of bands that play. We have so much fun whenever we go there.”

Rothsay Truckstop & Cafe
Aug 18, 2009 by Elise from Fergus Falls

Overall Rating: 9
Food:[9] • Service:[10] • Atmosphere:[8]

• Parking, family-like atmosphere and service.
• Could use some updating inside, but great for hometown cafe lovers.

“The food is home-cooked. Servers are friendly, even when rushed. The place is always busy, even though the small town of 500 has three restaurants. The restaurant is good for business travelers who are sick of eating mass-produced foods high in preservatives, however I would not recommend it for meeting purposes due to the fact that it is normally quite busy. It is a true cafe-style restaurant just off the interstate with a lot of truck traffic due to the incredible interstate convenience compared to other Minnesota truck stops.”

KFC
Aug 3, 2009 by Jesus from Jerusalem

Overall Rating: 8
Food:[7] • Service:[9] • Atmosphere:[7]

• I like the service it pretty fast, and the food is ok.
• The outlay or theme of the kick restaurant is ugly, pink and green is not that nice.

“I think KFC in wait park MN is a decent restaurant. It has a pretty cheap buffet for around 8 bucks. The buffet is okay, the prices for the meals are kind of expensive, but some have a decent price.”

Chocolate Moose Restaurant Co
Aug 3, 2009 by Jordan from Internatioal Falls

Overall Rating: 10
Food:[10] • Service:[10] • Atmosphere:[10]

• Portions, food, desserts, and service.
• The prices are a little steep, but not as bad as some places in I falls/cities!

“I have been a server at the Chocolate Moose for the past 5 years. I love my job almost everyday. I'm the only male server at the restaurant and I wouldn't have it any other way. The food is always great, the service better be good, and I love everything about the place. Huge portions, great desserts (if you have room), and cool decor. I eat at the Chocolate Moose almost everyday and I haven't had a bad meal yet!”

Bilottis Italian Village
Jul 21, 2009 by Wally from Rochester, MN

Overall Rating: 1
Food:[3] • Service:[3] • Atmosphere:[3]

• It only was 40 minutes of my life.
• The food.

“It was the worst food I've had in Rochester. If you want Italian, go to Victoria's. The food was dry and flavorless.”

Deer Haven Inc
Jul 19, 2009 by Karie from Seneca

Overall Rating: 10
Food:[9] • Atmosphere:[9]

• Great food and friendly service!
• We only get to make it there once or twice a year.

“My family goes to this restaurant every summer. I have never had a bad experience. The staff has always been nothing but friendly to us and the food is always great. We love to go on Tuesdays for the ribs. They are the best! Also a big fan of the cheesy potato soup (cheese, bacon, potatoes, wild rice) It's delicious! I saw all the comment about having slow service. I do think it has taken a while to get our food at times, but it never bothers us as we are on vacation and enjoying the atmosphere as well as each other's company. It's nice to be on the lake and be in no hurry.”

Brass Lantern

Hobnettis Pizza
Jul 15, 2009 by Carol from Mora

Overall Rating: 8
Food:[10] • Service:[3] • Atmosphere:[8]

• Food was delicious.
• Service was poor from teenage servers.

“The pizza was great. They're generous with toppings, and the sauce is yummy. My family loves Hobnetti's. The only problem seems to be that they hire teenage kids as servers and there have been several times where the server was a teenage girl who was either talking on the phone during our entire visit, or flirting with the cook, and we, the customers, were totally forgotten or neglected. Usually our need for good pizza outweighs the knowledge that we probably won't get good service. The owner seems nice, though.”

Tollys Time Out Rest & Lounge

Pizza Factory
Jul 12, 2009 by Paul from Montrose, MN

Overall Rating: 8
Food:[10] • Service:[7] • Atmosphere:[1]

• Plenty of cheese, and a great zesty sauce.
• Decor that hasn't been changed or maintained since the 70's.

“This is my favorite pizza of all time. I've been eating it since the 1970's, and it is the pizza I compare all others to. The main problem with this place is that decor is exactly the same as it was when I first went there, over 30 years ago. It's rare that I eat there, but I'll gladly drive the 20 minutes to get take out. Do yourself a favor, order a pizza, bring it home, and consume. One more thing, always order a large, this pizza is just as good the next day.”

Fishtale Grill Inc
Jul 11, 2009 by Tracy from Northfield MN

Overall Rating: 8
Food:[8] • Service:[7] • Atmosphere:[9]

• The Czech dill soup was good.
• The service was just okay.

“Not surprisingly the restaurant is decorated and setup in up at the lake style, with lots of wood and fishing gear. The menu is what one would expect from a bar and grill or sports bar with perhaps one or two more fish items. Our party had the cod sandwich which was fine, and the tuna melt which was good.”

Snappy Stop
Jul 11, 2009 by Kay

Overall Rating: 10
Food:[10] • Service:[10] • Atmosphere:[5]

• Taste, price, and service.
• Drive through only.

“Snappy Stop is a drive through burger establishment. Excellent California style burgers, fries with skins, good prices and very quick service. Being that it's drive through, it's take home food or eat in the car in the winter but for spring, summer and fall, the restaurant on Broadway is right across from the park which has picnic tables. We get our meals at Snappy Stop almost every time we visit Rochester.”

Jerry Dutlers Bowl
Jul 9, 2009 by Susie from Mankato

Overall Rating: 9
Food:[9] • Service:[10] • Atmosphere:[8]

• Bartender.
• Understaffed.

“Although they seem to be a little under staffed, the bartender Dan was amazing. He knows every drink I could think of and was very friendly (and attractive!). Very prompt and made himself available although he was quite busy. Even if bowling isn't your think, I'd recommend going just for the bartender. Great times!”

Chocolate Moose Restaurant Co
Jul 5, 2009 by Lori from Dryden, ON

Overall Rating: 10
Food:[10] • Service:[9] • Atmosphere:[9]

• Everything.
• Bathrooms are too small.

“I am so impressed with this restaurant. The food is delicious, fresh and served attractively. The prices are amazing compared to Canada where you pay a lot more for a lot less. I can honestly say that it gets better every time we go there. I highly recommend this place to everyone.”

Saint Croix Crab House Music Cafe Inc
Jul 3, 2009 by Jay from Minneapolis

Overall Rating: 2
Food:[1] • Service:[1] • Atmosphere:[8]

• Clean bathroom.
• The service was terrible.

“I attended a rock show at the St. Croix Crab Shack and the service was comparable to a Walmart greeter. A line of four people ordering a simple beer should not require a 10 minute wait. There were two bartenders - a short blond man who seemed to jeer at men who wanted beer, and a young woman who, well, let's just say she'd make a better door-stop - or if she was buoyant, she'd look great on my yacht in place of my life saver.”

Wilkin Drink & Eatery
Jul 1, 2009 by Kay from Wahpeton

Overall Rating: 10
Food:[10] • Service:[9] •

• All is positive, atmosphere, service and delicious food.
• I have not experienced anything negative.

“The restaurant is consistently good. It is highly unlikely a person will ever experience an off night! The food is all of good quality and priced very fairly considering it's quality and size of portions. The atmosphere is pleasant and unique and it is always very clean. The staff is friendly and polite and their appearance is appealing to be serving food.”

Kueng Lo
Jun 25, 2009 by Kevin from Savage

Overall Rating: 1
Food:[1] • Service:[2] • Atmosphere:[1]

• You can see the lake out of one of fly crusted windows.
• One of the worst places I have ever eaten, maybe the worst.

“The hot and sour soup had vegetables in it and I'm not talking bean sprouts. I know how to make hot and sour and this was not it. This was caned beef consume with carrots, bell pepper, soy sauce, and a little vinegar tossed in for good measure. The Szechwan Beef was fairly tasteless. The heat was okay but it was otherwise salty and greasy. The vegetables were cut to the size of in half. No really. Add to that frozen carrots, krinkle coin cut, and bitter Spanish onions. The beef looked and tasted as if it came out of a can labeled Hormel.”

Ok Corral Restaurant & Saloon
Jun 21, 2009 by Grumpy Dad from Chaska

Overall Rating: 1
Food:[3] • Service:[1] • Atmosphere:[2]

• Beer.
• Hostess.

“When we entered the restaurant we were corralled to the back room for the brunch without anybody asking what we wanted. I asked if we could eat in the regular dining room, off the menu, and the Hostess reaction was to glare at me and huff while stomping to the dining room. My wife's hamburger was burned, so she let the waitress know. We asked not to have another one prepared, since we didn't have time to wait for that. When it came time to leave, the uneaten hamburger was still on the bill. I asked the manager if she would like to remove the item from my bill or have me remove it from my bill by not paying a tip. She huffed again. In short: We won't ever go back.”

Turtle's Bar And Grill Inc
Jun 20, 2009 by Jeanine from Delray Beach

Overall Rating: 7
Food:[7] • Service:[8] • Atmosphere:[6]

• Great fish sandwiches fresh food.
• Dark and not very inviting decor.

“Locals go there. I've only gone there twice, but I have family in town, they go there a lot and think it's consistently good. The menu is simple but there's something for everybody there. The walleye pike sandwiches are excellent, fresh & tasty. All of the sandwiches are made with bread from the bakery a couple doors down the street. Turtle's is dark but not very noisy as bar & grill type places go. The service I've had has been just fine. The waitress we had today was a very sweet girl and competent, too. Service was speedy considering everything was freshly cooked for us.”

Chets Lakeside Inn Inc
Jun 1, 2009 by Lee from Dawson, MN

Overall Rating: 10
Food:[10] • Service:[10] • Atmosphere:[9]

• Chicken is king! Best on the planet!
• Seating can be a little cramped when busy.

“Best chicken on the planet hands down (it's the menu highlight here)! It's not exactly cheap, but you will never forget the taste! Makes KFC chicken look like an after thought! Only drawback here is the seating is a little cramped when there is a packed house, but takes nothing away from a place you will never forget! Charlotte and the gang have had our business since the 1960's, and their fabulous Swedish chicken recipe keeps us coming back. Also included is kid's menu, a small bar, cool and cozy ambiance, and view of Lake Irene. Highly recommended.”

Freight House Restaurant

Overall Rating: 6
Food:[6] • Service:[9] • Atmosphere:[8]

• Nice view of the river from the patio.
• Average food, expensive drinks.

“The food is not worth the money. I have eaten there a couple of times and both times the food was average at best. Also the drinks there are expensive, cheaper to go to Brines across the street.”

Northern Light's Roadhouse & Pub
May 12, 2009 by Carl from Duluth, MN

Overall Rating: 10
Food:[10] • Service:[9] • Atmosphere:[10]

• Charming North-woods atmosphere with an amazing Sunday brunch.

“Regular menu items highlight the Scandinavian heritage of the area well and locally caught fish including lake herring were even available in summer. The Sunday brunch was very reasonable, always fresh - even in the off season and has an amazing amount of variety.”

Old Bank Bar

Overall Rating: 10
Food:[10] • Service:[10] • Atmosphere:[10]

• Great bartenders and amazing burgers.
• None.

“Best burgers ever! As a city girl now I love that a night of drinking. Top shelf booze at the old bank bar is half the price I pay in Minneapolis! Can't get enough of it missing it already.”

Pizza Hut
Apr 26, 2009 by AMANDA from MILACA

Overall Rating: 7
Food:[7] • Service:[3] • Atmosphere:[7]

• Good food and good lunch service.
• Horrible evening service.

“The service after school hours was horrible. During the day when managers were on it seems to be very good. When ever there was a problem the managers were always willing to make you happy! We went there one night on a Friday and the workers were more worried about smoking then taking orders or bringing out food. We would definitely eat there during the day but if your going for supper plan on sitting for a while.”

Schullers Tavern
Apr 4, 2009 by Melanie from Minneapolis

Overall Rating: 1
Food:[5] • Service:[1] • Atmosphere:[4]

• The show was awesome and the pizza was yummy.
• I found the staff very unfriendly and they all need some customer service skills.

“The service was terrible we were there for 4 hours and our server only came to our table 4 times thats once an hour, you'd think they'd want to sell as much food and alcohol as they possible could. All in all I would not recommend this establishment to anybody. the only good thing about that place was the pizza we ordered I have to say it was good, but other than the pizza I wouldn't recommend it and I wont be returning anytime soon.”

Food:[7] • Service:[1] • Atmosphere:[1]

• Good pricing.

“It is just like any other Subway around only the one in East Grand Forks had very poor customer service, not one of the employees smiles, and the service is very slow.”
