Captain Jacks Restaurant
May 22, 2009 by John K from Prior Lake

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

• Fast, friendly, funny.
• Maybe a bit overpriced.

Freight House Restaurant
May 19, 2009 by John from Stillwater

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
Apr 30, 2009 by Jess from Lake City

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.”

Hometown Pizza & Tacos
Apr 26, 2009 by Cody from Circle Pines

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

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.”

Subway
Apr 2, 2009 by Jason from Detroit Lakes

Overall Rating: 3
Food:[7] • Service:[1] • Atmosphere:[1]

• Good pricing.
• Slow service.

“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.”

Eden Vietnamese Restaurant, Inc
Mar 30, 2009 by Mark from Eden Prairie

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

• Great food, good prices, very friendly, family owned & operated.
• NA.

“The Eden Restaurant is wonderful, I have been going there for lunch for over 15 years, and I have never had a bad experience. They are family run and operated, and you get a large helping of very good food for the price. I am not sure if the food is true authentic Vietnamese, but it is really good. As others have noted they are only open Monday-Friday for lunch, they take cash or checks only. The menu rotates, but everyday they have their signature dish of Spicy Chicken. It is cafeteria style, and the atmosphere is nothing fancy, but the food is great and the service is wonderful (go there a few times and the staff will know you by name).”

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

“Charming wooden cabin decor and friendly wait staff who remember that I like two cups of BBQ sauce with my order.”

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

• Food, service, atmosphere and everything.

“Fat Lorenzo's is a great restaurant with amazing food, the only problem is how crowded it is, but that should tell you about the great food on its own.”

Tacoville
Mar 24, 2009 by Jennifer from Apple Valley

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

• Poor service and cold food.

“The service is the worst I have had in a very long time. The food was cold or burned. The menu is not descriptive, and the food is way overpriced.”

G's Cafe
Mar 20, 2009 by t. from Coon Rapids

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

• Food, staff, and location.
• Ambiance (at first anyway - all the positives make this bearable).

“Love G's cafe. The food is down-to-earth. Nothing fancy, but yummy. Love their tuna melt, hamburgers, and stuffed tomato. Their wait staff is the best. They remember each return customer and their likes/dislikes, etc. What other restaurant has staff like that? So personable. Love it when G's comes around, and talks to the customers. Doesn't get any better than this!”

Mar 5, 2009 by Lauren from Stillwater

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

• Good, cheap sandwiches and coffee. Relaxed feel.
• Sometimes they mess up the order. So make sure you got everything!

“The Supreme Bean is relatively inexpensive. It has a nice homey feel, good build your own sandwiches, couches and seating in the back, and free WiFi. good for a quick lunch, morning coffee, (or just study area for college kids like myself).”

N J Cafe
Mar 1, 2009 by Eric Johnson from Lakeland

Overall Rating: 2
Food:[8] • Service:[1] • Atmosphere:[6]

• Good food.
• Terrible customer service from the owner - I will never return.

“My son and I were waiting patiently for nearly 40 minutes on Sunday for our breakfast, as we have done for nearly 15 years at this café. We watched 5 other booths who arrived after us receive their food. When we politely asked the waitress who then questioned the cook as to the status of our order, he looked out the door at us and said why don't you leave? I have never been treated so poorly by anyone in a restaurant. I will tell this story to all my friends who frequented the restaurant in hopes that his actions don't go unnoticed. Our waitress, who sadly has to work for this person, yet was polite to us and tried to apologize for this person's rudeness.”

Subway

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

Pizza Factory
Feb 20, 2009 by Jimmy from Big Lake

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

• Great pizza.
• Staff unfriendly and horrible dining room.

“This place has GREAT pizza, the decor is absolutely horrible, peeling wallpaper, dirty 70's carpet and the worst dining room in the business. The staff is unfriendly and kind of strange.”

Pannekoeken Restaurant
Feb 17, 2009 by Tracy from boulder

Overall Rating: 1
Food:[5] • Service:[2] • Atmosphere:[1]

• The waitress was mostly pleasant.
• Dirty.

“I recently went to this restaurant, the servers were fine but those in charge were not helpful or very pleasant. The food decent but not for the price. My glass was also dirty and the entire establishment seemed to have a dirty feel. I would never recommend anyone to eat there.”

Figlio Restaurant and Bar
Feb 16, 2009 by Sarah from Hammond, WI

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

• Good food and service. Fun atmosphere.
• None!

“We had never dined at Figlio before and were genuinely impressed. The host(s) were extremely friendly. Our waitress, was very helpful in explaining the menu, etc. We even asked to be moved to another table, and she was very accommodating. Had the fried homemade ravioli as an appetizer, which was delicious! For an appetizer, I would say the portion was small. There were 5 ravioli, which was perfect for 2 people, but may not have been enough for a larger group. I ordered the Figlio Chicken Club, which had very good flavor and very filling. The fries that come with it were excellent. The Tagliatelle was also a great choice! Overall, a wonderful Valentine's Day dining experience! Thanks, Figlio, and keep up the good work!”

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

• Kids are allowed to watch them hand toss the dough.
• They are not a franchise. They are only in Austin.

“The pizza is hand tossed, the crust is thin and cracker crisp. There is lots of topping choices and the sauce it just great. It is the best I have ever had and I have been eating their pizza for over 30 years. I can hardly wait for my next pizza.”

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

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

• Lunch specials.
• Horrible service.

“I used to be a regular at this restaurant. When I used to order from this place, I would order the same thing each time, and each time the price is different (not including tip). When I would ask the server why this is so, he would tell me its always been the same price.”

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

Lucia's Restaurant
Jan 2, 2009 by Joelle from Roseville

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

• Everything.
• Nothing is negative about Lucia's.

“My husband and I have been guests at Lucia's on several occasions. We are never ever disappointed. The food is always excellent and the menu changes weekly giving you an opportunity to order different items. You often are greeted by the owner, which is always a good start. The prices are very good and the service is excellent. I have seen the same wait staff for years now so I guess it must be a good place to work and when employees are happy everything seems to be right with the establishment. The parking lot charges a minimal fee but it is well worth it.”

Petey Pappys On The River
Jan 1, 2009 by Phil from Stillwater

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

• This is a great party bar.
• It's only open during warm months.

“First of all, it's not Petey Paddy's - it's P.D. Pappy's. Stands for Poopdeck Pappy, Popeye's Daddy. It's very nautical in there. The restrooms are marked inboards for women and outboards for men. It's only open during the late spring until the end of summer. The place is half on land, half over the St. Croix River. There is a large dock alongside. About half the crowd are boat owners from the river, half are bikers, half are college age, and the other half are locals of all ages. If that sounds like too many halves it's because the place is packed to the rafters on Friday and Saturday nights. Very packed, overflowing into the outdoor area. This is a big bar with limited food, which is very. Good. Drinks reasonable, service is excellent. The bands they have are the top of the list of the greatest Twin Cities bands. Great, great music and dancing. You come! Bring your girlfriend. We'll gave fun!”

Bierstube Food

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

• Great hot food and served within 20 minutes.
• Parking is hard to find.

“The German food is out of this world. The servers are very outgoing with the menu and how the food is cooked. You can also watch the cooks in the kitchen because it's all open. I strongly recommend and Bierstube for a great tasting German dinner or steaks.”

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

• Popovers.

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

• Good food, service, and value.
• Slightly rowdy.

“More of a sports pub, but has large white-collar lunch crowd. Good beer selection, very football friendly. Good appetizers and main course. Good value and friendly staff. It was next door to my hotel and I went there several times-it was always good.”

Dec 19, 2008 by Philip from Mankato

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

Espresso Expose
Dec 19, 2008 by Ness from visiting Minneapolis

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

• None.
• All.

“I went in thinking, let me give this place a chance, and the experience was not what I hoped. The girl at the cashier was rude in telling me about how she charged me a surcharge for me using my card, when she rung it up as credit card, instead of a debit. I am from New Zealand and got confused with her explanation. The hot chocolate tasted like water and the cup was too tiny for a small. Nothings going to budge me from the service and value at Starbucks for sure!”

Salsa Ala Salsa Mexican Grill
Dec 17, 2008 by Gabe from st paul

Overall Rating: 5
Food:[6] • Service:[1] • Atmosphere:[7]

• Great green salsa.
• Margaritas had no alcohol in them.

“The waitress we had was not friendly at all. She hardly spoke to us and when she did it was just short and rude. The food was over priced for what it was and do not dare ask for more salsa and chips. Overall, I would rather go to Acapulco. They have much tastier food for a better price and at least the service is moderate there.”

Junction Oasis Cafe
Dec 17, 2008 by Lilly

Overall Rating: 7
Food:[7] • Service:[10] • Atmosphere:[4]

• Fast, friendly service and the bathrooms are kept very clean.
• Environment from other patrons is hostile. Walk in the door and you'll be stared at by everyone.

“The Junction Oasis is a truck stop restaurant and they maintain that image well. As with any greasy spoon most of the food is preprocessed and flash fried. If your hungry this is a good place to go to fill up. The food is served in generous portions, the service is quick and the prices are reasonable. I highly recommend ordering from the breakfast menu.”

Saigon Cafe
Dec 9, 2008 by George from Moorhead

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

• Food is excellent. Great value. Definitely going back.
• Nothing.

“Some of the best Chinese/Vietnamese food I have ever had. Cozy little restaurant with quiet atmosphere. Locals know it as one of the best places to eat on the iron range. This is not a typical buffet style restaurant They serve a daily special and everything else is ordered off the menu. I took a colleague in with me and he has eaten in many expensive Asian restaurants and he claimed it was the best food he has ever had.”

Pizza Man
Dec 7, 2008 by Matt from Chanhassen

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

• Nothing.
• Everything, food, service, quality all bad.

“First time customer. Ordered delivery pizza was late. Driver had to call because he was lost, the topping on the pizza slid off the pizza. Driver must have dropped the pizza or had it upside down. The whole thing was smashed. Crust was not fresh. It was so hard we couldn't eat the edges. Asked for green olives on the side. They forgot to add it. 16" was $21.40. Not cheap, but that wasn't the problem. It was just bad food. Buyer beware.”

Peters Grill Inc
Dec 5, 2008 by Cathy from Apple Valley, MN

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

• Cashier was helpful.
• Manager is surly and rude.

“We were seated immediately. It took approximately 20 minutes for the server to come to our table. Ordered $12.00 sandwiches. Waited another 20 minutes and received one of our oder. Waited another five for my companion's order. Also ordered four whole pies three days earlier for a company event. Unfortunately, the banana cream and chocolate cream pie had no whipped cream or any embellishment on top of the pies. Crust and filling - that's it. I spent $15.00 per pie. When I called the restaurant, the manager didn't apologize. He blamed me for not requesting whipped cream. He was surly, rude and unapologetic. He, in essence, spent five minutes arguing with me rather than resolving the situation. Word of advice, order a piece of pie if you are eating at Peter's Grill - but do not bother ordering whole pies - especially if it is for a special occasion. You will be sorely disappointed. Poor customer service.”
