The 47 best cheap eats in Stillwater

We had a great experience at Lolo! I ordered the Ahi Tuna Poke Bowl, which was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The restaurant was quite crowded when we went, which shows how popular it is with both locals and visitors. Despite the busy atmosphere, the service was friendly and efficient. Definitely a spot worth visiting in Stillwater!

LoLo has upscale delicious foods without the hefty price tag, and amazing and diverse specialty cocktail menu, great location on main street, and some awesome staff here. I had the "Jamz" smash burger with a side of chips and dip. The burger was delightful. The chip and dip was a great side, and some of the best dip I've had. I can't remember the name of the cocktail, but it was wonderful.

The food was pretty good! We went at noon on a Saturday so we ordered from the lunch menu. One vegetarian in our party; not a lot of options for her (sweet potato tacos). Lots of gluten free options, highly recommend the rosemary fries to share. Fish tacos were good but could have used more seasoning or flavor. Most of the punch came from the slaw. Great vibes. Staff was friendly.

We had a nice tall table near the bar. Service was prompt, efficient, and friendly. Menu suggestions were accurate. Food came up quickly. We closed the place at 9:30 pm

I go out of my way when I am visiting in St Paul to get to Stillwater and go to Lolo's. Food is fresh and delicious. I love everything I have ever had. My new favorites are the sticky rice bowls.

This place was really challenging to get into on a Saturday, particularly the back outside area. Eventually though we got a table and had a delightful server who was also manning part of the bar. I think they were down a person this day so the service wasn’t quite spot on. Our food and drinks were fantastic. I had a sort of whisky sour drink and I appreciated how well crafted it was as well as the glass and appearance. We had 3 of the rice bowls and all were great! The seafood curry bowl convinced my 10 yr old that she likes shrimp! The fries were also absolutely perfect.

My finance and I had an outstanding dinner experience at LoLo. Think of casual dinner items prepared extremely well…. We thoroughly enjoyed the $3 tuna tasters (why doesn’t every restaurant do this), the broccolini (very indulgent), the JAM double smash burger, and the jerk chicken bowl. Our cocktails were fantastic as well. New favorite Stillwater restaurant!

Amazing!! I go to a lot of craft cocktail places mostly in Minneapolis and restaurants as well. I’m very picky….This place has the cool atmosphere like the others BUT the cocktails are much better than most of them which is what really matters imo. The staff were all very nice and friendly and even gave my girlfriend a recipe for a cocktail that she fell in love with. Will most definitely come back. Thank you Velveteen for an enjoyable evening.

It was a unique atmosphere. Very skilled, friendly, bartenders. Lots of delicious drinks to chose from. Stuffed mushrooms were great our chicken pizza was served cold. They took it back and tried to warm it. We will go there again.

I’ve been here twice now and each time it’s spectacular! The food is delicious (I’ve had the jerk chicken flatbread, jalapeño popper pastry, charcuterie board and let me tell you, the blue cheese is the best I’ve ever had). And well the cocktails are always so much fun!

I have visited twice, early and late evening and this place never disappoints. I'm a beer over cocktail person but the cocktails here are great and there is something for everyone. The live music is really top notch. The old style furniture is very comfortable as well. The wait staff dresses really nice and the atmosphere is very upbeat and nostalgic.

This is a cozy place. All the drinks we tried were really good. The bartender was nice and helpful. We came when they opened so there was no themed music playing, kind of sucked. But the time was still enjoyable! A perfect place for a small date night. Would love to come back and see some live music here one weekend.

We stopped in last night for the first time as we have been meaning to try this. Walking down the stairs to the basement entrance with the 1920s music playing is outstanding, I could just hang out there and soak it in. The history, the immersive experience, the cold basement and old building feel of the stone plus all the decorations is A+. The inside of the bar is just as good and tastefully decorated in 1920s theme throughout with various nooks and corners to sit. I only wish they played the same 1920s music there rather than modern pop stuff. The cocktails were outstanding, but pricey at $14 each. We ordered the charcuterie board which was delicious and so much food for only 2 people. They gave us a ton of goat cheese but not enough bread to eat it would be my feedback. I had the Dragonscale and the Sloane Ranger cocktails and they were perfect. Service was prompt but there were not many people there so I can't say how it would be when busy. I should mention the service doesn't match the sophistication and flair of the decor and vibe. Also from my seat I could see inside the kitchen and saw our server licking a knife while preparing our charcuterie board..... ugh. I wanted to assume it wasn't used on our food, I willed myself to believe that rationalization so I could enjoy the food.

When we got there the door was open and you could just walk down. This is not a "secret" speakeasy. 😕customer service was ok when we were there. Our server was very nice and knowledgeable of the menu. I was most disappointed in the service from a social media perspective. I reached out letting them know I was going to be celebrating a 16 year wedding anniversary, to which they did nothing for me as a customer. It was our first time, and probably the last unless they really provide a better experience. 🍰we enjoyed some late night snacks with cocktails. We did need GF options and were able to order chips and salsa, and flourless chocolate torte. The cake was great, but the salsa was very very spicy. 🥃With any speakeasy, I was looking forward to some fun bourbon options. Sadly, the whiskey menu was short and basic (almost bottom shelf) options. Very disappointing, and I would not recommend going here for bourbon. 💦 The water was really bad. Tastes like chemicals. 🍸We ordered the illusionist and I order an old fashioned with 1oz four roses / 1oz knobs creek rye. Both cocktails were reasonably priced and work good. 🕯️The ambiance could be very nice, unfortunately it seem very bright. I really thought the entrance and waiting area was a cool vibe and unique to many speakeasies I've visited. Overall, I think Matchstick is the best option for whiskey enthusiasts, and I would rather check other bars along the main strip.

This place was great! Great location overlooking the river. Plenty of outdoor seating as well. The food is nice sized portions, hot, and tasty. The staff were friendly and attentive. Booster seats and slings available. Nothing bad to say about this place other than the parking was very limited. Highly recommend

This is a beautiful place to eat with a great view of the river. The food was absolutely amazing and the serving sizes are good for the price. It did take quite a while to get seated, and we were told multiple times by several people that someone would be around to help us soon... But I'm not sure how typical that is for The Dock, and the food was so good that I think the wait was well worth it!

Great location and views of the river! The food and service was fantastic. We especially loved the walleye and the chicken wild rice soup. The interior is a bit outdated. If they could turn the fireplaces on it would add ambiance to the room. Also some nice music would enhance the dining experience. Overall, great visit. We will be back to check out the outdoor seating.

We were looking for a place with a view in Stillwater while passing through. The Dock was recommended and it was a great choice. The atmosphere and view was nice. The service was a little slower, but plenty friendly. Food was good. Parking can be a little difficult, but that whole area is a little difficult for parking. We've already recommended friends and we'll be back.

The Dock has hands down, my favorite food in Stillwater. Everytime I have eaten here, it’s been better than the last. Everything on the menu is incredible. They have the best chicken sandwich I have ever had, and I order one at nearly every restaurant that has them. The steak bowl is also incredible, and was a hit with my group the last time I went. I would also highly recommend the chicken wild rice soup. Their breakfast is also amazing, seriously. Aside from the food, the staff and environment are also phenomenal. The back patio has absolutely gorgeous views of the river. The staff is tentative and so friendly. Cannot recommend this place enough!

I had an absolutely delightful lunch with a dear friend at this place. The patio overlooking the serene river created a truly enchanting atmosphere. The weather was perfect, adding to the overall charm of the experience. The service we received was attentive and friendly. As for the food, I opted for a spinach salad adorned with succulent strawberries, crunchy walnuts, and delectable salmon. While the combination seemed a bit unconventional to my personal taste, the individual ingredients were undeniably fresh and flavorful. On the other hand, my friend decided to indulge in a juicy, tender steak, which they deemed excellent in every aspect. It was cooked to perfection, seasoned just right, and left them thoroughly satisfied. Overall, despite my slight reservation about the flavor combination in my salad, the overall experience was truly wonderful.

Extremely good food with a view that simply can't be beat. Everything we ate was top notch quality but the view speaks for itself. There's other places with food this good but you really can't get this view and food in one place anywhere else.

Leo's first time here, first impressions, clean for the most part, the restroom is unisex and it's only 1. but there's a bench by the restroom for you to wait on soo that's good. anyway take a step back into an eara that's long gone old signs old style booths, old style feels, it's one cozy little joint. I ordered the deluxe burger with french fries and a cherry coke, I think the cherry coke is made with grenadine hard to tell but it's tasty, the burger was very delicious and messy, the Patty's were done perfectly, The french fries had a nice crisp to them not all floppy. the over all service was pretty good the waitress was on top of her game same with the cooks, a definite must stop when in downtown Stillwater, will return in the future for ice cream review

Nice 50's style burger joint. The place was full, but the service was friendly and efficient. We split a double cheeseburger with grilled onions and house made (I think) thick potato chips, and a malt. They served the food split and in 2 baskets, which I always appreciate. The burger was juicy, and delicious, the chips nice and crunchy, and the malt was good and malty, you also get the extra shake left in the mixing tumbler 😉. I would recommend it for a delicious quick meal to anyone. It's pretty much in the center of town, making it very accessible as you stroll the streets of Stillwater.

One bite into this burger and I knew ❤️ it was delicious! I really loved the pickles and the chipotle sauce. You can dine in or outside (just go to the back of the building) you can also go thru their walk-up window and order ice cream + malts 🍦 All the burgers come with chips but the basket burger and hotdogs come with fries. I think this is a better deal and gets you full! 🤭

Best Tuna melt and Egg salad sandwich I've had. Excellent food and wait staff. Definitely would revisit this place if I came back.

We came in five minutes before closing to get some shakes and were warmly welcomed. Our waiter was super animated and fun, and the shakes/malts were all delicious!

Amazing service! Our waitress was very helpful and friendly. Will definitely be going again next time I'm in the area!!

The food here is reasonably priced and quite tasty! I had an egg salad sandwich with kettle chips. The kettle chips were crispy and delicious. The restaurant was crowded. I don't like that it feels cramped. It is quite small with lots of seating. It was also confusing with how to order takeout when I came in. However, service was prompt, and I appreciate that the food was made so quickly. It was also tasty!

We have driven by this restaurant hundreds of times and had to try it. The service was not great but there was a stand out; the burger, they grind it themselves using brisket and chuck (I would add sirloin) then they add bacon and chunks of butter to elevate flavor! Really good!

The most classic diner. I absolutely love this place! I’ve been coming here nearly my whole life. I visited for the first time in years yesterday and every bit was just as I remembered. Welcoming and kind staff, coffee cups that never run empty, delicious food, and a happy crowd! They’ve got all the classics done so well, love the pancakes and biscuits and gravy. But what makes this place so memorable to many of us is the manager/owner, trading jokes and stories, working so hard alongside his staff, bringing coffee to those waiting for tables. A special person at a special place, and a special fixture in the Stillwater community! 5 stars!

Incredible well-known spot off hwy 95 with amazing breakfast options. The waffles, french toast, biscuits and gravy, and breakfast sandwich were all incredible. The atmosphere is welcoming, cozy, and snug as it should be. Bring your friends and your appetite! Don't be surprised if there is a wait but they do a great job getting everyone timely seated.

Zeke is outstanding, pleasant and friendly. He also pays attention to details and his smile 😊 lights up a room. Before I could ask for extra napkins, there he was with a few! Way to go Z. You are an epitome of great customer service I had the MN melt with fries!! 😋

We are in line. They yelled at me. Told me to go to the host stand. I did. They yelled at me (a non white all white staff) and told me, no yelled, to go see the host stand outside. NO HOST WAS OUTSIDE. We stood and waited, searching for said host and said host stand (that apparently is NOT the host stand… that says host stand…). Then a WHITE couple walks inside, and they are greeted with a smile and sat right away… after I was just yelled at for being inside to put my name on the wait list. Then the host finally appeared. I told her what happened and she said “we’re busy”…. Does not excuse me being told to go inside to the host stand, me going inside the host stand, being yelled at that I’m not allowed inside the restaurant and need to stand outside, then a white couple walks inside and is promptly greeted (not told to go outside) and sat. I’m so confused and tired so tired of micro aggressions. I guess this is why only white people are working and sitting in this restaurant as I type my review looking in through the window because I was told to wait outside as I see numerous white people walk through the door and be seated within a minute. Non-white or mixed people or white people with children of color BEWARE!!!!! Edit: Upper my rating by one star because our server was great!! However, I stand by that the blond host needs an attitude adjustment. She should shadow him for as long as it takes, until she learns customer service skills. The hosts at the restaurant I work as a server at would never never throw out that racism and micro aggressions. She NEEDS training, stat! - from a HR customer and employee rights worker who also works part time as a server lots of things were wrong with her conduct and lack of professionalism.

Best reuben sandwich I ever had!! And I admit I am picky. Perfectly toasted on the outside, but still soft on the inside. The perfect amount of sauerkraut and thousand island, all melty with the cheese. I probably made the server uncomfortable with how much I commented on this sandwich. 🤣 The fries were amazing too. Perfectly coated and crunchy with a nice tender potato center. I dipped them in their house made ranch dressing. I ate way more than usual. Had to be rolled out on a cart...jk Bring a friend so you have someone to share your joy with.

Cute little cafe. Cozy modern, nice service, and delicious food. Had the roast turkey sandwich on cranberry wild rice toast.

🍕Best pizza restaurant ever I’ve NEVER had pizza better than this place, and I’m serious. Food: we got the pizza fries (which no, are not fries) that tasted basically like cheesy bread, but still had that “fry” feeling with the way it was cut. We also got the build-your-own pepperoni pizza which was 🤩 phenomenal! Service: service was fast and kind. Very friendly and willing to help if you ask for any. Atmosphere: gives a modern feeling without the hippiness (if you know what I mean) and makes you feel like your in a northern luxurious restaurant which it also being a pizza place, breaking SOME stereotypical barriers of pizza places.

The owners are super friendly and chill. The pizza was delicious! Loved the crust. We got the Average Ordinary Guy pizza - perfect spicy and meaty. Best pizza we've had in awhiiiile.

I've been here twice, both times because our first choice of restaurant was too busy. Maybe this place needs to be our first choice from now on. The wood fire cooking method makes the crust a perfect combination of crispy and chewy and the toppings are top notch! I got a BBQ chicken pizza the last time I went and was pleasantly surprised. The prices are incredibly low for the location (right in the heart of downtown Stillwater) and the wait time has not been more than 20 minutes each time we went. I'm definitely looking forward to trying more of their items. The appetizer menu looks amazing so that will be next on my list!

Very good pizza and service. Quality ingredients, awesome flavors and the dough had perfect taste and texture. There's a pizza artisan at the heart of this place.

One of my favorite places to eat at in Stillwater. Amazing pizza. Its a little spendy, but its very well worth it in my opinion. If your out shopping downtown, stop in for pizza, you wont be disappointed!

Great personal pizzas for the price. All the pizza crust are handmade. Fresh vegetables with almost ever topping you can think of. All that in a oak wood fired Italian brick oven. Our pizzas come out with a perfectly crunchy outter crust with a warm chewy inter covered with melted fresh mozzarella and a sprinkle of fresh basil. Service was quick for a busy Saturday evening after dinner rush.

Best pizza I’ve had in a while! Great service

We were on a girl's trip from Iowa, and we absolutely loved this restaurant!! The service by Laurie was fabulous & the food was delicious! We will return & stay closer to this cute town, especially because of our experience at this little gem! ❤️

Went here for lunch on a Wednesday around noon. Got sat immediately. We tried the Cowboy Burger and the Benedict Burger and they were both terrific. It was easy to tell they used high quality ingredients, especially the beef. Got them both cooked medium and they were cooked to perfection, still juicy and tender. The Parmesan fries were delicious as well and worth the extra dough. They have a beautiful fully stocked bar and offer mocktails and N/A beer as well as the usuals. The atmosphere is very cool, according to the owner it used to be a boxing gym back in the 1920s. I highly recommend a stop in for some good food and a great atmosphere when you are in Stillwater.

We had our wedding reception here for our smaller intimate wedding of 50 ppl and it was everything we wanted and more! Mandee is amazing and so easy to work with, she basically assumed the roll of whatever we needed and did it flawlessly! The bar and wait staff were awesome and the drinks were stronggg which is not a bad thing haha! I can’t even tell you how many people told us that this was the best wedding food they’ve ever had! We had the Steak Medallions, Cajun Chicken Alfredo, and the Gnocchi Burrata Pasta and it was all amazing 12/10! Our appetizers were also to die for, especially the duck wontons! All in all, if you’re considering Mad Capper for a chill and moody private event or reception DO IT! It was exactly what we wanted and we are so happy we chose to do it there!

We visited Stillwater for 4th of July weekend. We went to mad capper an hour before their early closing time. Our waitress told us that the kitchen was upset about having to work on 4th of July. My husband ordered the walleye. He said it seemed mushy and maybe microwaved and cooked darker on one side. My pasta was very good. Or beer and margaritas were very good. One of the kitchen cooks kept coming out into the hallway area by the kitchen and looking at the patrons with annoyance it seemed. The environment was loud ,fun and lively. It was fun sitting by the windows and seeing all the people walk by.

We had dinner at Mad Capper to celebrate my birthday. We made dinner reservations for 4 of us at 6:00. We were late- traffic caused us to be late. I called and they said no worries!! We had an awesome table and enjoyed the atmosphere. My husband had a cider with a wine floaty. Very pretty drink, and tasted good too. Food was good and plentiful. Server was excellent. Great visit

Great atmosphere. Very sad Walleye sandwich. Fish fillets were pinky finger sized. Sandwich was mostly condiments. Burgers looked really good - would get that if I ever came back.

I went here with 7 other friends and I would definitely NOT recommend this place. Not only did we have to wait 90 minutes for food, it was very difficult to get a hold of our waiter. One of our party members also did not get their food until 2 hours after ordering due to a mistake by the sever. Then upon asking for the receipt to be split we were met with extreme rudeness and were told “it would be a while” Most of our food was cold when it came out, we were charged $8 extra for 4 pieces of shrimp when we asked to sub the chicken to shrimp in our Cajun pasta. The other gnocci dishes we ordered were also cold when they came in. I highly suggest you do NOT come here for any food or drink. Horrible experience, service and food

The Main Cafe is a good classic diner-style restaurant in downtown Stillwater serving up breakfast and lunch dishes. My partner and I visited on a Sunday around 11 and had no trouble finding a seat. The atmosphere, service, and food were all solid. Our server was nice and brought us coffee refills promptly. Their menu is large with lots of classics so it's definitely a good stop if you're hoping to satisfy a picky eater. Atmosphere-wise, I like the murals they have painted on either end of the restaurant. Overall, while I wasn't totally blown away by any one thing, I thought everything was pretty good and I left full. This restaurant is definitely worth a stop, especially if you're looking for a breakfast to scratch that nostalgic itch for classic diner food.

S-L-O-W so don’t visit if you’re in a hurry. We had no problems finding a table so I didn’t think it was considered busy. We waited 45 minutes for two omelettes. Hashbrowns were bland; one order was barely browned. Standard breakfast fare with only diner coffee & machine dispensed French vanilla “cappuccino” available. Super cute little old building on the main drag so location is a plus. Staff were friendly. Plenty of waitresses, so I think the hold up was in the kitchen.

It is DT Stillwater. It is always lovely there. The food this time was ok but we came in last minute. I didn't like the geros. But I have eaten here a lot so I will only suggest breakfast.

Stopped in for breakfast. I tried the eggs Benedict and my husband got an omelette. The Benedict was pretty good, I’ve had better and I’ve definitely had worse. The hashbrowns were nice and crispy! The service was very friendly! The stools at the counter are not comfortable at all. My legs fell asleep 😅. So get a table if you can!

Great spot for breakfast or lunch. There were six of us and two separated 4 tops were available. The employees asked a couple that had just sat down if they minded moving to make room. I would have NEVER thought to ask this or expected this in a thousand years, but I know of it was asked of me I probably wouldn’t have cared either. The people moved and just now I thought to myself why did I not think of buying their breakfast until this moment. To those two that moved, I hope you had a good day and thank you. Your good deed let my wife get to sit with 4 of her very dear friends and reminisce. Back to the food. I had a Reuben with rings. The Rueben was great, but the rings were something else. I’m always worried that they will be too greasy, but these were perfect. Great place, we will be back next time im Stillwater.

Great family oriented restaurant with honest and savory breakfast choices. They have a lot of omlette choices but I had the French toast and 2 eggs which was excellent. My wife had one of their many omlettes and said it was good. They are friendly and quick to refill your coffee.

My wife and I both have gluten and dairy restrictions. There was no problems at all accommodating our gluten free and dairy free needs. The kitchen cooks everything on either oil or margarine. There were several options for us!!! The food was delicious and the portions were great!! Highly recommend!

We stopped at the Tilted Tiki on a cold, snowy evening. It seemed like a nice escape from the elements. It seemed pretty cool when we walked in. Not a ton of customers, but there was one group of obnoxious women who thought screaming at each other was cute. No reflexion on the place, but definitely a turn off. The server was nice and attentive, and our food came pretty fast. The drinks were too sweet, and the food, other than the wonton nachos, was bland and smaller portions. When you see the drink menu, you realize that's what this place is focused on, but with a few tweaks to their recipes, the flavor of their food would match what it sounds like in the menu. Live music was setting up just as we left, so I cannot say if the entertainment was good.

Do NOT be turned off by the cheesy and outdated decor - the food and special drinks are absolutely amazing! I had the T-Swizzle cocktail and Thai chicken tacos with wonton chips; my partner had the “Gonna Need a Bigger Bun” fish sandwich with fries. Service is a little inattentive; but I personally don’t care as long as my drinks get refilled 😉

My friends & I visited Stillwater & decided to try this spot for dinner. They ordered cocktails while I went for a mocktail; drinks were amazing & we were all very satisfied! We started with appetizers: fries & cauliflower bites. The fries were incredible; flavorful, crispy & topped with a delicious sauce we all loved. I also enjoyed the cauliflower, though it was a little too oily & had a strange aftertaste. For my main, I ordered the vegan burger with chips on the side. Unfortunately, I didn’t enjoy it & none of us touched the chips. Two of my friends liked their main courses, but my partner and I weren’t impressed. On the bright side, the atmosphere was great & our server was wonderful. Overall, it was a nice experience; I’d come back for the drinks and appetizers, but i’d probably skip the main course.

Sheri and the staff were absolutely lovely! They treated our entire party with kindness and made our bride and groom feel special! The food and drinks were incredible! The Pela Pela shot was incredible - it’s a must do!! Worth it for the theatrics alone! We will be back! Also they’re dog friendly!

We stopped in because it was different from everything else around. Great place friendly staff. Hawaiian theme pub and grill. I had a Moko Loco, I've never seen it on a menu outside of Hawaii so I had to get it and it didn't disappoint. I wish we had a place like this in Milwaukee.

As usual, it was jam packed. We did get a seat quickly. There’s nothing quiet about this place at all. Your conversation is heard by the people sitting next to you. Service was as good as it could get being as busy as they were. Food was pretty good. We ordered a side of rice that had so much soy sauce you couldn’t eat it. Everything else was good.

Food and drinks were excellent! Everything was reasonably priced and portions were good. Love the tiki theme and overall atmosphere as well. However, there is room for improvement on a service front. Our server was nice but not very attentive. She didn’t ask us how the food was nor did she promptly bring out the check. Overall, I would return again and I highly recommend the food and drinks to all. Pictured here is the cheese curds, and coconut shrimp tacos. The guava sauce that comes with the cheese curds is the best I’ve ever had!

Fast service, pretty good food, cute cafe. It was a little crowded. It's easy to see they are busy so they work to make all the space work to seat as many as possible, a good problem to have. It's a little loud because of the crowding; only to say I would study or go to work in the cafe. It is darling and more social space. The staff are helpful and the food prep and serving is FAST! Thw biggest complaint is the value of food compared to price. It's more than we would normally spend on sitting in a cafe. It's definitely too much to charge $8 for two scrambled eggs for a kiddo when it comes with no side. I know the price of eggs is high and businesses should pay a fair wage but that is a bit too far. Still a great little cafe to support.

We had a great lunch here last week. I had the harvest bowl: Chicken, Roasted Sweet Potatoes, Apples, Goat Cheese, dried Cranberries Roasted Almonds, Wild Rice, Kale, Balsamic Reduction glaze. SO good. The flavors were outstanding. Mmmm.... Still thinking about how delicious it was. Me friend had: the Buddha bowl. Jasmine Rice, Red Onion, Carrot, Mushroom, Broccoli, Sesame Seeds, Scallion, Sweet Chili & Sesame Tamar and added chicken. She said it was very tasty. The staff was very knowledgeable about the menu items and answered all of our questions. most next items can be made gluten free, which was great. (I have Celiac) Thet have really good coffee drinks, and a limited bar/wine menu. There was an amazing looking bakery case filled with cookies, macarons, scones, tarts, cupcakes, muffins, bars, etc... including multiple gluten free options. We had to skip dessert as we were very full. But - next time! Lots of free street parking. Highly recommend!

What a wonderful and charming little cafe and coffee shop! They have a wide variety of delicious hot and cold drinks and breakfast/brunch meals, as well as some tasty pastries. We got an Americano and Italian soda, along with a chocolate croissant and a eggs, sausage, and bacon breakfast. The chocolate croissant was fresh and flaky with a decadent chocolate topping. The eggs, bacon, and sausage were terrific. The service was fast and friendly.

Cute place to grab brunch with friends or get some work done! They have outlets and plenty of seating, but we just came to get brunch and loved it. Counter service and the food came quickly. We got the vegan hash (portion was a bit smaller than anticipated and was mostly potatoes), roast chicken sandwich w house salad (dressing was a good blend of creamy and balsamic and sandwich was delicious!) and breakfast croissant. Would come back!

Best sweet potatoes of my life (I’ve had them only once before but still.) Delicious. I ate them so fast I only thought to take a photo half way through

Nice ambiance. OK service. Terrible food. The breakfast potatoes were overcooked - dry and flavorless. The over-easy eggs were runny (over-easy doesn't mean under-cooked). The toast was under-toasted. The "jam" was thin and runny. The coffee was OK. The bacon was good, because we like crispy bacon.

The only good thing about this place was the coffee and bacon. Everything else was bad. They didn't understand how to cook eggs. Unless you get scrambled watch out, they will probably still be half cooked. I asked them to remake them, which they did, but still didn't make sure they were fully cooked. Runny doesn't = raw. I asked to make a complaint they said come here to Google so here I am, there is no manager besides the kitchen. Both people I spoke to didn't try to make it right any other way. Wasted a lot of money. Just terrible service.

Popped into the front bar area for a snack and a margarita. It was a little toasty as far as temperature went but the service was fast and friendly. We ordered the pulled pork nachos to share and the house margaritas. The nachos had ample toppings but some salsa would have been a nice addition. The margarita was perfect.

I asked for their hottest sauce and they delivered! I also had my pup so I called to see if I can order outside and it was a very friendly and quick transaction. Food was up quick and tasted good!

Festive place with 3 distinct dining areas, and the food was great with generous portions. Probably the best chimichanga that I've had anywhere, and the sides were very good. Salsas and guacamole dip for chips were excellent. Had no wait time, servers were attentive and dinners were prompt. Definitely worth another visit!

Out for dinner, my daughter's birthday,her choice and I would say it was a great one. The food was excellent, great service and an overall good experience.

One of the coolest looking places I’ve been! Love the decor and lighting! We went for a cool drink and guacamole on the 4th of July! It was busy so service was okay but not perfect. Guacamole was very good! Margarita was decent. It was pretty hot so I don’t know if the AC was broken down or if it is always hot. I think on a cooler day and less busy day I would really love this place. I

Great nachos. Man, the smothered burrito is a beast. We also had calamari, which, oddly, is presented with chili peppers. I thought it was a great display. Definitely recommend it for a quick and yummy bite. The ambiance music was Spanish, not Mexican 😅

The updated patio is cute and the atmosphere is nice but I’m pretty bummed we had such a disappointing experience. Our server forgot to bring us water and our chips and salsa. We had to go get the water pitcher. There was also a bone in my salad, hard to finish a meal after biting down on a sharp bone.

This restaurant is an excellent choice for a meal after exploring the beautiful city of Stillwater. Despite being busy on a Saturday afternoon, our server was attentive and efficient, and the food arrived promptly. Everything we ordered was delicious. We also appreciated being able to sit outside and enjoy the nice weather. A thoughtful touch is the inclusion of dog treat items on the menu. We look forward to returning the next time we are in town.

Excellent place to see a musical performance. Good drinks, food and service. Maddie our server was just excellent. Enjoy the outside deck in the warmer months. We got to enjoy Mick Sterling and the Studd brothers. He’s got a few more shows at the Freight house. Excellent performance. You got to see his Elton John tribute. Enjoyable venue. You’ll be forced to go.

Friendly staff, relaxing view of the St. Croix and okay food. Being on their patio on a Beautiful Saturday made for an enjoyable visit to downtown Stillwater!

We went on a beautiful Sunday and it was packed. Yet the friendly abundant wait staff found us a table to sit outside immediately. The food was very good. The accommodation outside are basically picnic table style but it feels right. Note: they do have their own parking lot.

Great place to stop for a chill lunch or a fun night. Great outdoor patio with views of the river. The food was good and our server was a sweet heart!

The Freight House is hands down one of the best spots in Stillwater! The atmosphere is unbeatable!!! whether you’re sitting inside soaking up the historic charm or outside on the huge patio with beautiful views of the St. Croix River. The food is fantastic, with generous portions and great variety, and the drinks are always on point. The service is friendly, attentive, and welcoming, which makes the whole experience even better. It’s the perfect place to grab a meal, enjoy some cocktails, or just relax with friends and family. Definitely a must-visit whenever you’re in Stillwater!

Ugh. Really hate to leave this because sitting on the river is so nice. However, this food is really just not good. Two members of our party ordered the Mediterranean bowls and this is how much they ate of it. Not a member of our 20+ people party were really impressed with our food. So sad as the ambiance could be so nice!

Sweet mother of servings, the amount of ice cream dispensed at this location is beyond compare. We realized, far too late, that a double was not a "double scoop", but perhaps intended for two people to share over the course of several weeks. :D After each ordering a double, our mounds of ice cream leering at us with a playful taunt, we decided it might be best to save some, as certainly, that much ice cream would leave one catatonic, if not, with a belly ache at lease. Naturally, I consumed all of mine in a single sitting, and despite apprehension, my stomach was not displeased with me at all! I couldn't help myself. The banana ice cream was ON POINT, perfect in every way. The bits of brownie provided an excellent texture contrast, helping me to pace myself and enjoy the journey. Definitely go get yourself a ton of ice cream and eat it all. You won't regret it.

We had a sweet & chilling eperience visting Nelsons. Pretty good for an 100+ year old business. It worth joking death by icecream if you end up taking the large sized portions. Little inside secret, you end up making it to the wall of fame and a refill if you are able to finish it all by yourself. Its pretty busy during summer days and the lineup clears up quite soon. Only qualm , if you will is they accept cash only but make it convinient with an ATM stationed inside the store. Great tasty experience for the entire family

Well our second vist here... and they were open this time! Ordered a child's size, which came in a cup with about 5 scoops! I had them stop at 3 after what I saw ahead of me. I had moose track, and it was fantastic, not too sweet, good amount of added ingredients including some peanut butter cups. We had 4 child's size and everyone tried to eat it all. Place was packed, good speed on service, "cash only" with and ATM on site. You need to try it before they close for winter! Oh, come hungry and if you dare, don't split...

Absolutely massive portions. Flavors are delicious and there are so many options to choose from! Be prepared to wait — we were in line about 45 minutes when we stopped by at 4:30pm!

My friend and I have been coming here for years and splitting a child’s size. Those of you that go here know that is at least 6 scoops of ice cream. My friend was full from lunch and I can only eat a small amount due to a medical condition, so we asked for a scoop of ice cream a piece, which is what you see in their small cup. She charged us $12 for two scoops of ice cream. $6 per scoop. That’s the price of two child’s size. She said she couldn’t “split it,” even though we were together and have split it for years. This is the worst experience I’ve ever had here. I guess they now prefer waste and chasing decades-long customers away. Very sad end to what was a great run. I gave two stars for the great memories, this visit wouldn’t even be on the scoreboard, but in the negatives.

What an amazing experience I have had at this phenomenal ice cream shop. Overall, the times that I have been here have been amazing and very delightful! The only complaints I have about it are the serving sizes and the line. The serving sizes are often way too big for one person to consume. I’m all for getting your moneys worth, but at times it has felt a little excessive and wasteful with the amount of ice cream they serve you, even the child sizes are enormous. Although with that being said, the quality of the ice cream is through the roof and is extraordinarily delicious. I am also pleased to report that the staff is always super friendly and kind. On multiple occasions, I have seen them accommodate for others food allergies by getting a fresh tub of ice cream and replacing their gloves and scooper. This caused me to be extraordinarily impressed. I should warn you, though, that the wait time and line are very very very long. There is also not amazing seating. There are some picnic tables, but the majority of the time they are full and you have to eat elsewhere. To conclude, I have loved coming to Nelson‘s and I will probably continue to come here quite frequently. There are just a few minor inconveniences, but it is truly a good place to go!! I recommend this place!

Large variety with a couple vegan options!! A single size is large enough for 2! I walked a total of 1.6 miles for this ice cream! Worth it!

Had an excellent lunch with the family. Service was great and the food was enjoyed by all. Will definitely return again. Nice location that puts you in the center of town. Take a break from shopping or after a stroll by the river.

I don't think I can stress enough that I just had the best sandwich of my life 😂 I was swooning and already planning my next trip back to have it again. Get the Nashville Hot Chicken. Amazing 11/10. Only ntoe is that it is not hot in the slightest, definitely on the sweet side. But the flavors and slaw with the pickles and sauce went together so so well. I was so shocked I made my friend try it, and she was blown away as well. I never leave reviews. But, I was moved by this sandwich lol. Will be back.

Okay food, Great view and location. Prices are high for what you get. $15 for a pretty small amount of mediocre cheese curds really got to me.

After completing the 5-mile trail walk around the Saint Croix area today, we stopped into this Irish Pub for lunch. We walked in and stood by the hostess desk for a few minutes. No one acknowledge us or stopped by to say they were busy and would be back to seat us. Instead, we stood there like idiots. The bartender knew we were there and the a waitress by the lemonade fountain was too busy looking at a receipt to even see us. We left due to no service and walked over to Brick & Bourbon where we were immediately seated. We had a wonderful lunch there. I guess this Charlie's Restaurant and Irish Pub didn't want our money today. *Shrug* Limited stars given for poor customer service. My family and I will not be returning to this restaurant.

I visit this place once or twice every year as a part of my Stillwater experience. The service is always outstanding. The food is always great. My favorite is an Irish eggroll - crunchy on the outside and greasy on the inside. Served with lettuce and blue cheese. This time around I also enjoyed a bowl of very hearty stew- flavourful and delicious. And an Irish burger, smothered in whiskey flavored onions with a hefty side of fries.

This place has mediocre food for adults and an abomination of what can only be described as dog scraps for kids. The view is nice and the location is perfect - but too bad the owners realize that the location is enough to have all tables full, and not really care about the food quality. Prices are high, as would be expected from the location, but again the food quality is lacking and you almost feel as if you were ripped off at the end of it all.

A very "okay" experience. The apps came out after the entrees 😂. The dry rub wings were pretty good, unfortunately the sliders were gas station quality. Edible but not what you expect when dining in. Oh did I mention this is an Irish pub? The restaurant is located in the Water Street Inn, on the south side of the building. Parking is available on both the south and north side of the building. The patio area has a wonderful view of the river, and historic bridge.

The atmosphere at Gasthaus is incredible. It has a very traditional German homey vibe. Reminds me of my great grandmothers home. Food was delicious! I ordered the Jagerschnitzel which was great. I do however wish the spatzle wasn't plain. I think it needs to be seasoned or have some kind of flavoring added before serving. Fortunately I had some mushroom sauce left over from my schnitzel. The accordian player is very talented and is open to conversation and informing you about the instrument or songs. Our server was unfortunately not very friendly and seemed to be in a bad mood. Don't know if it was circumstantial or just their personality but it lowered the rating and is sadly memorable.

I’m not German but as a Swede having never been to Germany, this feels as authentic as you can get in MN. The decor, the beer, the traveling accordions… I adore German fare and the Gausthaus has never disappointed! I have not been since the new owner took over a couple years ago. It is as good as ever. I had the Jager schnitzel with red cabbage and the warm cider potato salad. I added a knockwurst for good measure. I didn’t see the Bavarian Favorites combo I used to adore with Jager schnitzel, Rahm Schnitzel, knockwurst and the potato dumplings but this was very close. Six adults and everyone left full and happy. Thank you for another fabulous experience!

I loved the wonderful German flare of this restaurant. I was there with a group and everyone enjoyed their meal. I had the noodles with cheese, and onions plus a delicious side salad with beets! The goats in the back were fun to watch.

The ambiance evokes the experience of immediate transportation to a traditional German beer garden. The restaurant features polka music and serves authentic German cuisine, providing a delightful respite from the daily routine.

The vegetables were a bit too hard and coleslaw had a bitterness but the chicken (I had) walleye (my husband had) we each enjoyed the food. Service was very good. We'll be back again! Not really kid place to eat...you're not going to find mac&cheese or hot dogs.

Loved this place. We got lucky on an early Friday and got seated right away without a reservation. This is not the norm! The food was great the atmosphere was perfect the acordian player was great! We really enjoyed ourselves! The service was welcoming, friendly and was wonderful. We will be making reservations next time!

I had the Vienna Style schnitzel and 2 types of potatoes-fried with bacon and onion and the warmed vinegar with bacon and onion. Mine was very good! My husband had the pork knuckles. Both of our portions were large (both enough to take home for leftovers) We had to do the apple strudel with vanilla ice cream. The strudel was delicious! They had an accordion player during our dinner. Very authentic German food and ambiance was made a perfect dinner for our 1st visit. They have a bar at the entrance inside, as well as one downstairs. We checked out the bar downstairs, great pricing discount offered and it was full after our dinner. They have a beautiful property including a lovely beer garden and goats along the back of their property. I would love to travel back here to visit during October fest. Thank you to all staff here 🥰

The atmosphere and staff are great here, but my sandwich fell a little short for me. Staff were super accommodating and made sure we were well taken care of; good people would bring me back for sure. We were able to get an upstairs patios spot, which had a great vibe despite the heat outside (plus our waters stayed refilled). I ordered the Nashville hot chicken sandwich. There was plenty of chicken, but I think the breast meat would've been better butterflied to prevent as much drying out. The run was good, but didn't have the Nashville hot I was looking for. I did ask for pickles and fresh onions which elevated the flavor for me. If the meat wasn't so thick I think this could've really done more for me. My partner had the salmon plate, but for outside lunch I think a sandwich is a better way to go. I did order the pistachio beer on draft and highly recommend that. I would go back. We also shared a spinach artichoke dip and I thought that was good. You can join the wait-list online for dine in, but the patio is walk in only.

The first time we went there, it was great. We went for dinner. The server was fantastic and food was delicious. However, this time it kinda sucked! We went for lunch and got seated within ten minutes. When we were seated, it was FREEZING in there. I went to the hostess, who happened to be the Manager Amy and asked to move tables because we were so cold. I had found a table away from the air, and it was still dirty from the previous party. Her reply was a very curt “No. (long pause) we have another table with a reservation.” No smile. No customer service. Really rude. Well, I was talking to my family who go there often and found out that brick and bourbon doesn’t take reservations till dinner. Not sure what that was all about. Even our server wasn’t very hospitable. Got our drinks at 1:15, didn’t get our order taken till 1:28. Food arrived at 1:50. Food was delicious. However, Bourbon burger was dry compared to the evening two weeks ago. We enjoyed the food. Establishment was cold, manager even colder.

We visited on a Saturday afternoon around 1:30 PM and had a great experience. Despite the weekend rush, we were seated right away in the mezzanine, which was a cozy spot with a good view of the bustling restaurant below. The staff was actively working to rearrange tables and accommodate groups, showing clear attention to keeping everything running smoothly. For lunch, we ordered the Plain Jane and The Next Day. The Plain Jane was requested completely plain, and while it still arrived with toppings on the side of the plate, the server was happy to bring out an extra plate to move them off. The burger was well-done and cooked exactly as requested—simple, satisfying, and just what we were hoping for. The real standout was The Next Day burger. Though the menu described the egg as over easy, it was served more over medium—but the flavors more than made up for the change. The burger was incredibly layered and well thought-out. The mayo, with its subtle pepper kick, gave the sandwich a breakfast feel and added some unexpected spice. It was greasy in a good way, loaded with flavor, and very filling. The hashbrowns weren’t super crispy, but soaked up the flavors perfectly. The bacon was just right, neither too crisp nor too chewy. We could only finish half, but it was more than satisfying. Overall, Brick & Bourbon offers bold flavors, attentive service, and a unique twist on the usual burger experience. We’ll definitely be back! Note: we ordered the Plain Jane and Bourbon burger on our previous visit.

Brick and Bourbon has a great atmosphere and solid service, but for us the food didn’t quite live up to the hype. The appetizer ended up being the highlight of the meal, while the rest felt a bit overrated for the price point. It’s definitely a nice spot to grab drinks or hang out, but if you’re going mainly for the food, you might leave wishing it delivered a little more.

Adventurous food! We went on a Friday evening and nabbed some seats at the bar. Great staff, friendly! We got the PB & Jay and also the Mushroom burger-def chose garlic parm fries too. I had to check the menu bc I thought the Pb was supposed to have cheese and it was-yet mine was missing it. Bummer. Would have made it next level delish! Adventurous and unique nonetheless! It was very busy and some of the clientele seemed to think they owned the place. I find that the entitlement of regulars or locals to ruin the atmosphere not enhance it. When you dine out, be mindful that others are there to enjoy themselves as well.

This place is in Stillwater Main, a very convenient location. We sat on the rooftop. At first, we thought the restaurant must be amazing with all these reviews, but keep in mind that when alcohol is involved, the good reviews could be more about the drinks than the food. We tried the food, and it was better than expected after seeing how the kitchen looked. The place itself seemed a little dirty and disorganized. The staff was friendly-ish, they looked busy, so it was easier if you didn’t ask many questions. We ordered a burger, wontons, and wings. Let’s start with the wontons, which were my favorite. The sauce and flavor combination was delicious. The wings were also very good, and I loved the BBQ sauce because it wasn’t too strong. The burger, however, wasn’t great. The cheese completely overpowered the flavor of the meat. No sauce, three random pickles, a little caramelized onion, and the so-called “thick bacon,” which just looked like regular bacon to me. I’ll probably try it again, but the place really needs to be cleaned, especially since you can see the kitchen from the rooftop stairs. I don’t think the reviews are accurate in this case. 3 stars because of the wings and wantons.

Came here with the fam after visiting an open house. This place has some quality foods and a great location. Got the walleye sandwich and was not surprised by how good it was. Although was a little disappointed when my sister broke the pull tab machine and cut our little gambling spree short. 9.6/10

They have a great outdoor patio space. The food was pretty good and cheap. You can get good daily specials if you play it right. The service was kind and the atmosphere of the patio was wonderful with the music they were playing.

5 star view but easily 1 star food. My wife and I came in on a Thursday afternoon for some fish tacos. They were 14$ for 2 medium sized tacos with fried haddock which was cold that came with a side of tortilla chips that were also cold. Overall what was most disappointing was the small portions, cold food, 4$ fee for using a credit card, and charging 3$ for a soda water. Seems cheap and greedy and ultimately just a touristy spot.

Our waitresses name was Jane. So I tacked on Anderson. Jane Anderson started out with zero stars and worked away all the way up to five! Service was awesome The nachos were huge and tasted fantastic! The plastic beer glasses or something to come back for! Next time I'll bring my own glass 🙂 thank you Jane for the memorable experience at PD Pappy's. We will definitely return for the service!

Service was excellent! Sloppy Joes were very good as well. Cocktails were just okay. Only real problem is the flies. You really need to look into some way to mitigate this issue- maybe the bag devices they use at horse stables and such... It was bad.

A beautiful Saturday night in Stillwater, PD Pappy's has a killer band. The power went out and the band played acoustic, well! What a great time the crowd didn't care and it's a great part!

Great music and had a good time, danced and enjoyed it a lot!

This is a cool spot right on the St. Croix River. Food and drink overlooking the docks. It's got a low key down to earth vibe. We had beer and a vodka drink with a burger 🍔 and a BLT. Pretty good experience.

We have eaten here several times. We stopped for lunch during fall harvest in Stillwater. We arrived about 11:10; they had just opened. Server was good, she must have had tables inside as well. We ordered the cauliflower fritters for an appetize. They were good- HUGE!! A little greasy and needed some salt, but I love veggie and would try them again. For lunch, we ordered the brisket Reuben sandwich and the salmon salad; trefethen Chardonnay - a glass for each of us. My salmon salad was great and horrible. Salmon was grilled excellent and cooked to perfection, but the salad had way too much citrus- combined with the creamy goat cheese - it over powered the salmon. The beef brisket sandwich arrived COLD! We are assuming they had to wait for the salmon to be cooked and did not sequence them together. We waited about 5-7 minutes and never saw our server and we had to flag down another and ask her to send us our server. She immediately arrived and we told her the brisket Reuben was cold. About 10 minutes later a replacement arrived, yes, it was hot- but had barely any meat on it. We really like this restaurant, but this was not a good experience this time. Please note - they charge 3% if you pay by credit card.

If you want scratch kitchen amazing food and be treated like royalty, this is for you. The beef short rib looks like something a cave man dragged in, and Its enough for 2-3 barbarians. It tastes even better, unbelievable. The Craft cocktails are off the chain. If they don't have your liquor here, you don't need it! Our server Dana was sharp and sweet. The manager Noah, came over and personnel attended to us because they ran out of something. He is a true "working manager" Valet parking is perfect. BUT seriously stay away, I want to keep it for my own.

We went here on a recommendation from family. We live in the Western Metro and travel based on the overwhelming recommendation. Our server Molly was on point along with the food and everything else. Definitely would be the worth the trip from the West.

It was my first time here and I went all in—ordered everything off the dinner menu for lunch. Every dish was amazing, and the desserts were HUGE! Great flavors, great service. See you next time I’m in MN!

The wife and I went for my birthday, the staff was extremely attentive and 100% on top of their game for the entire 3 hours we spent there. Best bourbon selection we've ever seen, the bartenders were very knowledgeable, the manager was friendly and awesome! The food was out of this world, we had an amazing experience and will definitely come back every time we are in the area

I loved it here! The ambiance was awesome with a chill, cool vibe to the place. Our waitress was awesome and very helpful. The brisket cheesesteak sandwich was also super tasty. I also tried the salad which was also great. Zero complaints, everything super tasty, the ambience was great! I will definitely be going back when I’m in the area.

This place is a dark atmosphere restaraunt decorated primarily with bottles of bourbon. They also have a nice wine selection. The menu is completely ala carte with vegetable options like cauliflower fritters (awesome) and sautéed Brussel sprouts with bacon (also awesome). The brisket was torturous to smell and not eat, so I had to try some. The black bass was was delicate and delicious. Can't comment on desserts, as I was too full to try any, but I'm told they have them.

Was my first time trying this place out. It’s located right on the main strip in Stillwater. The outside is kinda dingy looking and the inside is a little outdated looking as well. But it’s well kept and the staff is friendly. The food was pretty good and came out very quickly. Portion sizes are good and the Prices are very reasonable. Our waitress was very helpful and a very kind person. She did a great job taking care of us! I had a hibachi mix and then some sushi as well as some other random stuff to try. I would recommend this place!

Went on a Tuesday night, not too busy. Very attentive server. Our favorite was the pork gyoza appetizer. We also split some sushi and ramen, which was good.

While the service was genuinely good, the quality of the food just was not up to par. The sushi lacked freshness and flavor, and the overall presentation felt rushed and uninspired. Dishes that should have been clean and vibrant came across as dull, both in taste and appearance. For a place that specializes in sushi, that was a letdown. The staff did their best to create a pleasant experience, which I appreciated, but ultimately, the food didn’t live up to it. With some improvement in the kitchen, this place could be much better.

This is a great place for sushi 🍣 lovers. We enjoyed the Aloha and Out of Control rolls along with yellowtail, spicy salmon, and some salmon sashimi. Washed it all down with some sauvignon blanc, Sapporo, and Kirin beers. We sat by the window 🪟 and watched the hustle and bustle of Stillwater's main street while we ate.

Coming from Southern California, I have been craving and missing really GOOD sushi. I have not been able to find it, even in the cities, until now! The sushi here is great. And has been great every time I’ve gone. It’s been empty each time I went, and I can’t understand why. Maybe I am missing their peak hours. Don’t let that turn you away though! The sushi and the service are stellar!

They are rude over the phone and they forgot chop sticks,soy sauce and napkins. I called to talk to them and they were short and said never to order again. Fine,I like Sky Dragon better anyway. Plus they don’t forget the small details and they are cheaper. The portions are better also at Sky Dragon.

Great sushi binge! Always let your sisters husband just ask the chefs name and then say we trust him bring us awesome sushi nigiri and don’t forget the uni! The fresh wasabi chutney is the first thing I’ll mention A great! The uni was perfect! The scallop first course in a spoon thing was amazing! Everything was great! Not much beats ignore the bill sushi lunch! I kept joking with my sisters husband you surrender yet? Great service too!

Stopped in for dinner during harvest fest. Super busy, but we were able to get two seats a the bar. Our server was super nice and helpful! I tried the house-made root beer and it was delicious! My husband got a drink with “at risk” in the name and he really liked it! For an app we tried the ahi tuna. It was very tasty, but a bit spicy for me. 😅 For dinner we got the tallegio grilled cheese and the fried bahn mi dog. My husband really liked his bahn mi dog! For the grilled cheese….it didn’t taste like much. Not much honey or cheese flavor. The egg was overpowering. The bread was really tasty. I was only able to eat half of the sandwich slice on the second half I found red paper in the sandwich. I could see the print of words on it. We told the waiter and she asked the chef about it and we could hear him say “it’s just the cheese rind, it’s edible”. My husband chewed on a bit to test it and it definitely had paper texture. Even if it is “edible” it’s not pleasant to eat. So maybe don’t put the rinds in a sandwich 🤷🏻‍♀️. The water nicely asked if she could get me anything instead and we got dessert. The croissant beignets were amazing! So tasty! The waiter ended up taking the grilled cheese off the bill since she had never seen that paper in the sandwich before. Super nice.

They always have amazing cocktails here! Also, good food that doesn't disappoint and a nice atmosphere. Happy to see they brought back their lettuce salmon wraps. We enjoyed checking out their happy hour! Highly recommend the blood orange margarita.

The ambiance combined with the excellent food easily makes Stilleater Proper one for the books. We loved the fried garlic noodles and bahn mi hotdog. We're excited to try more of the menu when we visit next!

Our experience here was great. Food was 10/10. We had the Filipino wings, pork belly bowl and fried chicken sandwich. All were incredible and full of flavor. Also the Proper Margarita is honestly one of the best margaritas I’ve ever had. Top notch all around. Atmosphere inside is awesome with the exposed brick, old signs and cool tiled floor. Would definitely recommend and return!

I went with 3 kids today. The atmosphere was great. Me and the oldest had a smash burger which was very good. But the 2 Littles got a hot dog which had black seeds on the bun and cut in 1/2 lengthwise and put on a bun. What little kid is going to eat that?! And the “greens” that came with it were slathered in some nasty dressing. Kids won’t eat that. The grilled cheese should have been straight forward but alas, no, it was some crusty bread with the same greens. The kids were more than polite but the waitress acted bothered by the whole thing. It was a Tuesday afternoon, not like they were busy.

I met a friend here for lunch on a saturday. I loved the vibe of the place as soon as I walked in. I sat and ordered a spicy vodka cocktail. First, I must say, spicy cocktails are always hit and miss, but SP nails it. It was delicious and I would get it again. I think it was called Cobra Verde. For food I ordered some truffle fries as an app to get started. The frys were very good, I would have liked them a bit thicker cut, but the flavor was great and they were fried so well, crispy but edible! For food I got a rice bowl it had Pork Belly with it. The pork belly was awesome, but the rest of the bowl was unimpressive. The veggies were just kind of bland (I was hoping they would have been pickled) and the rice was just well rice. There was a small spattering of some kind of aioli in the rice, but not enough to spread through the dish. Service wasn't great but it wasn't bad. It just kinda was mid. I saw my server 3 times over the hour and a half we were there. 1)When I first got there ordered cocktail and fries 2) When my friend got there and we ordered our food 3) when I flagged him down for a 2nd drink and the bill. All in all, it was a great spot to have a cocktail and some ok food to go with it, definitely better than a dive bar would be.

Great food and atmosphere. Kids cheeseburger was super tasty, and so were the garlic noodles.

A cute little place in Stillwater. We went with 3 little kids and everyone really enjoyed their food. The place doesn't seat many people inside, maybe 30ish not including sitting at the bar. The atmosphere is fun with lots of music & movie posters. The 90's kid will really enjoy it. There were 2 waitresses and they were running and overwhelmed! We asked for water and didn't get any until after we had eaten almost all of our appetizer. We ordered wings with ranch and didn't get any ranch. We ended up having to ask for it after our wings were cold because we couldn't get the servers attention. The ranch (& ketchup) were homemade, which some of the kids loved while others thought it was spicy (it did taste kind of "hoppy"). We follow a low carb lifestyle and came here because their Google Maps menu pictures show keto buns as an option. They no longer have them, they got rid of them spring 2024 😢 We had lettuce wraps and made a huge mess because the lettuce wasn't very big so all the toppings fell out. We ordered the crudites appetizer as it said it came with hummus & a pesto aoli. Ours came with no hummus. We were going to ask why we didn't get hummus, but the pesto aoli was SO good we preferred that! Overall I'd suggest going to the food & the atmosphere! Just be prepared to wait on drinks & dips!

Delightful outdoor patio in gorgeous weather and view of busy street activity. Really good shrimp tacos and Korean BBQ cauliflower! Great service and food, even though they were busy.

What a fun place to eat! Love the decor, service was excellent, the gluten free community finds it safe because most menu items can be made gf and their fryers are gluten free so taking my daughter with celiac was so fun for her to be able to get onion rings and try some wings. The Hercules burger was really good and tried the cowboy way burger as well and that was also really tasty. Mocktails are fun. I’ll definitely be back!

This was my 4th time dining here. We made a reservation for our party of 6, which worked out well, as the restaurant filled up fast. We were celebrating my oldests bday (fyi - they don't offer a dessert or anything if it's your day). I have Celiac and the staff was very knowledgeable and helpful when it came to ordering. Our table shared cheese curds (amazing!) onion rings (not bad) as appetizers to start with. They have a variety of sauces. The harissa was great with the curds. One Daughter said the cowboy burger was THE best burger she's ever had! My other daughter is vegan, and she enjoyed the mushroom tacos, and cauliflower bites. The tacos and bowls are very good, and filling ... The coconut curry soup is so flavorful. The craft cocktails are delicious although a bit pricey. They make all their syrups in house though, so great quality. I recommend the rumpshaker. They offer a variety of beers on tap, mocktails, and a couple N/A beers, and liftbridge root beer. There is a pinball machine near the bathrooms. Fun - but it's $2 per game. There's a few parking spots next to the restaurant. Otherwise it's street parking.

Stopped in for lunch while in Stillwater. Service was prompt and friendly. Food was delicious, I had the Cowboy Way burger with regular fries. It was definitely one of the best burgers I have had. My wife had the Asian tacos and said they were delicious. I look forward to stopping here again when I am in Stillwater.

We saw the reviews online and figured we would try it out. We sat on the patio. We were helped pretty quickly. Although we didnt receive our drinks until our food arrived. We had to ask for silverware and napkins along with our drinks when our food came out. My wife's food was especially bland. No seasoning on the rice or meat. I had the shrimp tacos. The shrimp was season and cooked perfectly. But the corn tortillas overpowered all flavor of the shrimp. My wife and I agreed that not only the service was below par. So was the food. We appreciate your try.

What a find! Vegan, vegetarian and gluten free are clearly marked on the menu - and the place is fantastic. Don’t miss the French fries Moroccan style.

Overall, I very much enjoyed Muddy Cow. The server was great, and the environment was clean and well put together. I was surprised by the amount of food options, and it appeared they have a lot of drink deals throughout the week. The Reuben was very good, along with the Dilly Fries and Duck Wontons. I do wish the patty on the burger was bigger, which was really flavorful, but not a lot of substance. I'm definitely coming back to explore the rest of the menu and deals!

Had an early dinner on a Saturday late afternoon. Plenty of room when we arrived and was seat yourself. Lots of good menu options, and a very nice drink selection. Service was very good and would recommend a visit. If your a sports fan plenty of good seats to keep an eye on the game.

Nice clean atmosphere. Surprised when I got 2 for 1 cocktails! Fried pickles were great, never had them cut that way. Big hog sandwich tip-leave the Bacon off. It distracted from the tender juicy pulled pork. Mine had a big piece of thick fat in it as well. Also, the table wasn't cleared of empty dishes very well. Kind of stacked up with three people. Overall not bad Sunday lunch place

Food and atmosphere were good! However, it seemed as if our server lacked attention to detail. We ordered one spicy Bloody Mary and was given 2 spicy margaritas. After being given our correct drink request, we were then informed of their special 2 for 1 drinks- would have rather been informed of their deals beforehand. Following that our food came out incorrectly with extra toppings on the burger that weren’t requested. After being dissatisfied with our service, we just requested a discount for the burger instead of having it remade.

Party of ten was sat by the bathroom which reeked of sewer gasses and backup. Asked if we could get a bag of cheeseballs for our inconvenience, the waitress laughed and said they are good! Had a two year old with us and almost everyone felt like barfing. No attempt was even made to offer a discount or free item. Poor customer service all around, staff said owner was contacted and would get someone out there in the am! Staff could have easily shut down the women's restroom for the evening and posted a sign to use the men's room, but nope! Won't be back!

Food is usually pretty good here as weve been here before. Server seemed indifferent and not very friendly . Ordered food and never checked on us . Place was slow for a weekend eve. So staffing wasn't an issue. Our drinks ran dry and never checked on us except to deliver bill. Not sure if well be back.

A little loud, but hey.. It was a Friday night so can't really complain. The bartender Nate was one of the best bartenders anywhere! Nice place, huge menu.

Great old timey atmosphere downtown Stillwater. Quite relaxing joint to grab lunch and a drink. The Patty melt, Reuben, Mac and cheese are fantastic! My kids inhaled their lunch like it was their final meal!

Two of us stopped in for an early dinner during a road trip. Our burger and Reuben were delicious. The shoe string fries are made fresh on premises. Although it has a busy bar vibe, 25% of the dining area is up a few stairs and feels like a diner making inviting for families.

Happened upon this location walking through town. Did not know what to expect. Found the absolute best cheese curds I have ever had!!! The prime rib was incredibly tender (wish there was some sort of seasoning applied). Fast and friendly service a true plus.

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.

Girlfriend and I were having a great day around Stillwater and just walked into Howard’s. Nice comfortable bar and friendly and prompt service. May have been the best burger I have ever had. Just incredible, highly recommend!

We always try to stop in whenever we visit Stillwater. Great drinks and variety of beers on tap. The food is elevated pub fare-always high quality and great value. You can’t go wrong with Howard’s!

The best hamburger and fries. It really is. Bartender was fun and nice older bar feel.

Very cool to stay at a historic hotel and one of the oldest in Stillwater. The rooms were nice and my only complaint would be it smelled a little musty, but being by the river its understandable. We had a balcony view in our room and the balcony felt very private. Our favorite part was hearing the stories from staff about the rooms and exploring the hotel itself. The breakfast was good and they had different morning cocktails to choose from. Will go back.

Review is for hotel room #227 and breakfast at the restaurant. The room was charming. Bathroom was very nice. Can't beat the location in Stillwater. I stayed here for the Log Run Half Marathon. It's a walking 2 blocks from the shuttle pick up and 3 blocks from finish line. My expectations of the room were just what it was (historic building) based on other reviews. The hotel was very quiet and the AC worked very well and was very quiet. Please get new pillows for the rooms. Pillows were as old as the building. ;) Flat, compact, pancake pillows. At the hotel price point, it's reasonable to expect new pillows. The breakfast was delicious at the restaurant and received a 10% coupon at check in. The staff was super nice and helpful.

What wonderful people! We booked several rooms for my son‘s wedding, and the staff went above and beyond to accommodate my sister-in-law who at the last minute needed an accessible room. Everyone really enjoyed their stay. It is very convenient to downtown and a great staff.

This is the absolute worst hotel we have ever stayed at. DONT bring a stroller or be handicapped because the rooms are not accessible in any way. The parking is nearly impossible, the hallways are covered in trash and people’s shoes for some reason. Overpriced as possible. No breakfast service, restaurant is closed for renovations maybe? Customer service is non existent. We would have had a better stay sleeping on the street out front if it wasn’t for the constant drug addicts and homeless everywhere. This place is absolutely putrid. Do yourself a favor and stay at a motel and then just drive downtown so you can get $20 drinks and crappy food. What a joke. Will NEVER return.

It was ok but not amazing for the price. Was clean enough and good enough but not amazing. Stayed in a King Deluxe (331) as a couple get away. AC worked, but old school knob for colder or hotter, not a set temperature. Bathroom ok but cheap remodel. Listed as shower tub but only shower. Neat furniture and style but old carpet and hard bed, poor window shades that let tons of light in. Includes parking, does not include breakfast (as listed). Location is decent, off the main strip a block or so. Again, not bad, just not amazing for the $300+ a night in my opinion.

Lovely hotel and friendly staff. Breakfast was delicious, eggs Benedict was quite good. Rooms are small with very little flat surfaces to hold items. No shelf in the bathroom. Quiet place, AC works!

Went for a relaxing lunch experience. When the famous Cream of Mushroom soup arrived, it was accompanied by two stale crackers. It was only when I asked, did I receive a basket of warm bread. My entree was Walleye with mashed potatoes and asparagus. I started to eat the fish and it was fishy. I tried to eat more than a couple of bites but couldn't. The waitress had 1 other table of 4. She failed miserably in following up with us. When she did show up, I told her that it wasn't edible. She took the plate and said that she would talk to the chef. Ten minutes later, she offered me and small slice of cheese cake. I had all I could do, not to throw up. We had to get up and pour our own water and ask the other waitress for our check. Worst food and worst service that we have ever received from this restaurant. I do not recommend this restaurant.

We were craving some Thai food and decided to stop in here for dinner. We were seated right away at around 5:30, but by the time we left it got much busier. We shared the pork egg rolls which were great, a bit on the greasy side. For the main course, I had the Chicken Red Curry with a spice level of 4 out of 5. It was quite a bit spicer than expected and I eat spicy food on a daily basis, so definitely go lighter on the spice level if you're not into sweating while eating. My wife had the chicken broccoli dish, which was decent. Wish we could have had fried rice instead of white rice with our dish, but they didn't allow substitutions. Overall, pretty good Thai food.

Good and various levels of spicy according to what you want. Lots of choices of good food. Staff are very nice and attentive. Great place to eat for families and friends. Nice atmosphere and plenty of seating and space.

Got Pad Thai and Drunken Noodles with beef. They were a bit understaffed, so there was a wait. But oh boy, was that worth the wait. If you are unsure of what to get, get the drunken noodles. I normally don’t like crunchy onions, but even those were amazing by themselves. Everything tasted great!!! Edit: it’s been a few months and I’m still thinking about the drunken noodles.

Such a open and inviting place. We were able to keep our distance as we desired. It was busy on Thursday but amazing photo ops! Organized parking and on their campgrounds area in Summerset,WI.

I drove 30 minutes to this restaurant just for their wontons and Grilled Chicken (under the Thai Basil Specialties list) dishes. They are DELICIOUS. I would move to Stillwater just to be close to Thai Basil. I've been craving the Grilled Chicken dish ever since I first had it when I visited Stillwater 2 years ago. Also tried the Lychee Mimosa here and that was pretty good too. Love this place.

Washington was our server and he was absolutely fantastic. We had three choices as vegan dishes, I am usually only accustomed to one choice. Which already makes me happy when I have that. Very accommodating, Food is fantastic

Fantastic Date Night out. Our first time at this restaurant so we went with safe orders - Pad Thai and a special. Will definitely be back to try more! The soup was amazing! Cozy dining room with beautiful murals and lively little bar.

Great tasty food, excellent wood fire pizza, and amazing staff at Patriots Tavern in Stillwater. I have now tried a few of their different specialty wood fire pizzas and all have been amazing. Great crust and tasty toppings. They have a good selection of craft beers on tap. The service has always been fantastic.

Visited for lunch with a friend. We were sat immediately and greeted by our friendly waiter immediately. The atmosphere is laid back and homey. The food was delicious and you could tell it was freshly made.

Wow!! This is a definite hidden GEM! We stopped in to have lunch. And the service, food and atmosphere was fantastic. Posting photos to show the size of the massive onion rings. The Lobster Roll was Devine. The filet mignon was so beyond delicious. Tender and so much flavor. We brought our kids and it was kid friendly but at the same time a perfect spot for a date night. I highly recommend coming here. Our server was so kind and very helpful with the menu.

It's always a treat to go to Patriots tavern in Liberty Village Stillwater minnesota. It's a special place because it's probably the only pub that you can get Old Speckled Hen beer on tap. And it's probably the best beer you'll ever have. It's always fun to joke around with server Chip. He's always happy and in a good mood. I'll usually get the tavern Burger medium rare it's delicious. I saw on their special menu last week that they have a baha Burger. This burger consists of a half pound Char-Broil burger with 4 oz of lobster tail, green onions and baja sauce, $28.00. I can't wait to try Burger, next time I go there. I would recommend Patriots Tavern great food in Good times.

The was our first visit and we were highly impressed with our service during the lunch hour. The food was excellent, the portions were more than generous, and we look forward to visiting again! Maybe we may actually make it to the dessert menu which looked amazing too. To start we ordered a half order of onion rings to share and there were 4 giant rings with the lightest, crispiest batter you’ve ever tasted. They are so good you don’t need a dipping sauce but they do have a variety to choose from. My guest ordered a pork dish with garlic butter pasta and asparagus and stated it perfectly prepared.

Went here for a birthday dinner with my family. We ate outside and there was quite a crazy amount of flys. I noticed their garbage wasn’t too far away from where we sat and that pretty much explained why. So that was pretty annoying. Again going to mention we sat outside right? My sister and her husband had just come back from their honeymoon and so he has on a pair of hawaii shorts that were pretty darn expensive. literally irreplaceable shorts. he was getting up to leave and the metal chair ripped his new shorts. not to be a Karen or anything but taking 20$ off a bill to excuse the fact of a faulty chair is kinda lame. The server i’m sure, has nothing to do with that. she was nice and felt bad. she took the chair away to get rid of. Just sad about the shorts yanno? anyways.. This photo is the MAHI fish tacos. blah. wasn’t expecting this really. so they were alright. nothing special for 15$ Mac n cheese was alright. again, nothing really special.

Decided to finally try this place. I was not disappointed! The artichoke dip is cheesy and creamy. The burger is full of flavor in every bite. My ma loved the fried walleye and chips. The staff was very attentive and friendly. They didn't rush us and was very knowledgeable and accommodating. We will definitely be back!

Food was great. Service was very attentive and was kind to us. The portions were very large and lasted me for lunch and dinner the next day.

Well don't trust him when it comes to gluten-free. I ask him what I could have gluten free. She sat there and went through and told me what I could have. I ordered exactly what she said I could have. Not good I gave her 5 stars for service because she took the time to do it right but unfortunately the cooks did not. The food was not very good

This is my favorite restaurant, period! The food is always delicious, the beer is cold, the service is top notch, and large tv's always has sports playing. We come here at least once a month.

Very good. Chips and salsa are free and chips are excellent. Salsa is good and maybe a bit too spicy for some. Prices are a bit high for me but probably well within reason. It's very big - lots of seating. We ate outside and loved it. They have a lunch menu. Fajita salad was big and very good. My wife loved the lunch chimichanga. Service was great. Total bill for two with good top and tax (no alcohol but two soft drinks) was just over $40.

We've never had a bad meal or poor service at any Acapulco Restaurant. We really love their chips and salsa. This was our second trip to this restaurant location And during the pandemic in February 2021. Our service was excellent and we later found out when we left the waitress was the restaurant manager Olivia. Oliva checked on us several times and made sure our sodas never went empty. They were busy and she made sure all the tables were getting serviced multiple times. We ordered the Steak and Chicken Fajitas which were so good and a lot of food on three plates.

Had a really nice dinner at Acapulco. Always consistent with fresh hot food. Server seems to be lacking a little bit with the younger generation.

I highly recommend this Acapulco restaurant! The food was absolutely divine! The service was totally out of this world amazing! I also loved the “vibe” of the restaurant! Overall, I had an awesome experience at this Acapulco and will definitely be coming here back again!

My experience at Lolito Cantina was a mix of highs and lows. I accidentally left my driver’s license in the car, so I wasn’t able to order the drink I wanted. Unfortunately, the server didn’t offer me any alternatives, which was disappointing. On top of that, we had to wait a long time to place our order, which added to the frustration. Another downside was that the menu didn’t indicate gluten-free options, which would have been helpful. That being said, the food itself was absolutely delicious! It’s the best Mexican cuisine I’ve had in the U.S. so far. I wasn’t a fan of the duck dish, as it had too much chocolate for my taste. However, I really enjoyed the drink called Tepache—just a heads-up, it’s very sour! The service was polite and attentive overall, despite the initial hiccups.

Kim, at the bar, was amazing! Very helpful and friendly. The Lolo burger was decent. Chips n x3 Salsa's were excellent. The House Marg was pretty good as well, especially being on tap. Nice decor, and obviously a solid selection of Agave distillate's.

We had a great experience here! Our server was so friendly and attentive. Great drinks menu. I highly recommend the nachos!!

Really great experience! The waiter was very polite and professional. We had the Queso, Burrito Bowl, and Quesabirra tacos (with lamb). Food came out HOT which is so rare these days. The drinks were fantastic as well.

As a first time visitor to Stillwater, I was enamored by the warmest welcome from Bartender Derek Malchow, whose personality boomed as bright as the fabulous ambiance and delectable dinner! The salsa trio, guacamole, and queso fundido paired with specialty crafted margaritas comprised the perfect nighttime nosh. Overall service was unparalleled, as Misty (MJ) delighted us with her vibrant and gregarious charm, and General Manager Kimberly put the punctuation mark on this exemplary experience. Kara Leigh from TPA will be back for a savory snack soon!

Best Margaritas I've had, first time i had fish tacos and it was fantastic 10/10. Bartender and servers were a good conversation.

Beautiful fall weather for a patio meal. Manager was welcoming, waitress was lovely and prompt. Food was on point. We had the guacamole and carnitas burrito bowl. We loved the spicy salsa.

Ordered online from the Stillwater location. Got a text that said order was received at 544pm.The pickup time on my confirmation said 603pm (doesn't say estimated, says ready for pickup at). Got there about 607pm, told the guy my name, he asked again what it is, then asked if it was an online order. I said yes and he shouted my name to the MANY people in the kitchen (although only looked like a few were actually doing anything). The one guy says it's not quite ready, will be a few minutes. 4 more people walked in for their pickup orders, one guy asked if they had bottled water- guy at the desk says idk,the bar might. Then a few mins later says we have it we just don't know where it is. Then a few mins later, comes out with 2 cold bottles of water...very odd. I waited as those 4 people, along with 3 more after them, received their food and left. At 20 mins, the guy says, it's almost up, just a couple mins, sorry for the wait (yes he apologized, no it was not sincere- more of a formality). A different guy calls my name and says have a good night. I was missing half of my order, which I said to him. He looked at me confused and the guy making the food says it's in the bag over there. Get to my car to double check everything is there, and the "meatball dinner" I ordered is leaking sauce out all over the bag and 2 other boxes of food. It's meatballs in red sauce, baked with cheese on top. They literally dumped the sauce into the Styrofoam container, put the meatballs in and put the cheese on. It was slightly melted, more so like the hot sauce had melted it, rather than actually putting it in the oven before boxing it up. I did end up putting it in the oven at home, however, it was absolutely disgusting tasting and I ended up throwing it out. The cheese bread had 2 cups of sauce,since I ordered extra- but looked like they put the sauce cups in the box, Then the hot cheese bread around/on the bottom cup, which then melted the lid on the bottom cup. The pizza was mediocre- def doesn't taste like Carbones from back in the day. I sent the company as a whole a message on fb, to see how I can message that location, as there is not an email or contact us page on the site,only a.phone number. Judging by the way they acted in person, I don't think I'll get far with calling. Also after reading alot of these reviews, doesn't look like I'll get far either way. Such a bummer, terrible service, bad food but speedy. Really sucks that they don't think customer service and decent food are priorities.

I AM WRITNING IN ALL CAPS IF I COULD GIVE ZERO STARS AT THIS TIME I AM HERE ON JUNE 1 2025 at 4:30 pm I WOULD !!!!! WE HAD A LARGE PIZZA BUT THE SIZE OF A MEDIUM!!! THE WORKERS DID NOT ACCOMMODATE EITHER THE THE KITCHEN MANAGER AT THE TIME 🤬 I DID NOT LIKE THE SERVICE THEY WOULD NOT REMAKE THE PIZZA AT ALL THEY OFFERED A KIDS PIZZA TO MAKE UP AND THEY ALSO MEASURED THE PAN WHAT THEY HAVE THE DOUGH ON !!! LIKE COME ON GET REAL ACCOMMODATE FOR HAPPY CUSTOMERS!!! OH YEAH YOU SEE THE SIZE DIFFERENCE OF THE PIZZA PANS!!!! THESE WORKERS THAT WAS WORKING TODAY/NIGHT GOT SOME NERVE

Had a fantastic Pizza today at the Carbone's in Stillwater, First time trying the pan pizza house special. I do enjoy Minnesota style pizza. The only critique is I like to have the toppings above the cheese instead of under but it was so tasty it didn't really matter. I will definitely be returning to this Carbone's again and recommended it to my friends.

Listen- you want a low-carb salad, on a price scale (no offense crisp and greens but your lettuce prices are all the same) with dietary restrictions: no dairy, no chicken —- then guess what? For $12 you have the best chefs salad you ever seen. I prefer to order extra Italian dressing and jalapeños. I have a meal and a take home salad as this is ginormius. If you go during lunch it is only $9. Racheal the bartender has you covered with the best lunch (my faves: chef salad & a bloody- Bloody Mary not mix) and let’s not stop short of first, Jim- the owner. He will ensure you this is the finest Italian dining plane in Stillwater. Last and certainly not least is Kirke- she is the in Norwegian we call it … Det är det. Bottom line - good quality food, best staff- not close to Main Street Stilly but far beyond with quality.

Had a hockey team reservation booked weeks in advance. Were told upon arrival they couldn’t do jersey numbers for ordering (only restaurant I’ve ever heard of that doesn’t do this for sports teams), couldn’t split bills between families at same table, one kid in the bathroom at a time (what?), etc. So we adjusted, all went to different tables, and got nothing but more attitude, one family was told they wouldn’t even be able to serve them. We paid for our drinks and walked out and got a pizza elsewhere. White haired manager woman was extremely rude to all of us from the moment we walked in, kids and adults. Huge head scratcher all around on this experience. They didn’t want our business, so we will never be back.

Delivery times are a bit much on weekends, other than that its worth the wait. There pizza is amazing and hasnt changed a bit. Cheese bread is hard to turn down. Another one of my favorite spots

Delicous pizza 🍕 for us eating with good sound bite

The food is really good and not greasy! I went here for dinner one day and breakfast the next. The prices are pretty normal and the portions are large. Highly recommend getting a bakery treat/pie. They are cheaper than expected and taste great!

Keys Cafe and Bakery in Stillwater has quickly become one of my favorite places to frequent in the Washington County area. This establishment far surpasses any of the restaurants in down town Stillwater due to its top-notch food, service, and atmosphere. I've sampled many of the items available on the menu, including the siracha cod, mushroom Swiss burger, and the patty melt. The Cajun skillet is particularly delicious. A special shout-out to the bartender who served my food over the past two Sundays - her professionalism and polite personality are second to none. I hope everyone who reads this review will check out Keys in Stillwater - bring lots of business and revenue to this all-American cafe and let the owners know that we want to keep this place in business for years and years to come.

FYI: Not all Keys are created equal ! Love Keys, have been a loyal customer of Keys all over the Twin Cities for decades & heard that a Stillwater location had opened. Love Stillwater & so excited to go. Didn't know about the early Sunday closing, but no problem, we had 15 minutes to order & have the Keys menu memorized. I was absolutely shocked by the rude server anywhere, much less at a Keys. The server immediately informed us that they were closing. She then proceeded to take our friends' drink order while totally ignoring my husband & I. Concerned she would empty the coffee pot, I got up to follow her to request our drinks. Well, needless to say, as you can see from the pix, I hope they get used to an empty restaurant from service like that. SO Disappointed ! UPDATE: Folks, please read owner's response. Her incident information is incorrect & it is interesting how she conveniently & very quickly turns the fault on the loyal long-time Keys customer.

This is a nice friendly diner. Good food, friendly service. A nice plus is they also serve alcohol and cocktails. This was my first time at this location, but, like the other locations, food is excellent, portions are generous and cost is reasonable/competitive with similar establishments. Bakery looked wonderful but I didn't partake.

Love this place! I'm so excited there's a Stillwater location now! Food is always delicious and tasty! Warm cinnamon roll is delicious and gigantic! A must try! We were there for lunch. Typically, we have exceptional service. However, this wasn't the case on this visit. The waitress (Anna I believe) had zero personality. She never once smiled or even made eye contact. Before we could even sit, she was asking what wanted to drink. My guest didn't know the menu off the top of her head, so settled for water. The waitress was rude to the gentleman sitting across the aisle from us. He apologized for forgetting to ask for fruit for his pancakes when he ordered. He was an older fella, it happens. But instead of being polite, she was rude and I felt bad for the guy. A good server needs to be flexible and polite. Better yet, they should be personable. I tipped her, only because I wasn't sure if she's supposed to split tips with others and it wasn't their fault she's sub-par. A server is a representative of the business. If you're served by a robot it reflects poorly on the restaurant. If this was my first visit to Keys, it would've been my LAST! Next visit, I refuse to be seated in her section!

This past Saturday I went to visit my grandma, and we decided to eat here! Food was great, the restaurant was clean and our waitress Layla was the best! She was fast, nice and always came to the table with the nicest smile. Thank y'all for the pleasant experience :)

Nice little caffe with great WiFi and descent price, would come back again for sure

Nice atmosphere and delicious food. The wait for a table was brief for a busy Saturday. The service was excellent and our server was so nice. The food was made with love and the portions were generous. This is Detroit Style pizza, so if thick edges of caramelized cheese on a focaccia type crust topped with plenty of what you like piled on, you’ll definitely want to try this place! This is a cute little walking/shopping town, so parking is limited close to the restaurant, but there’s plenty of inexpensive public parking located within a comfortable walking distance.

Finally got to try the she's my cherry pie pizza and have to admit it has lived up to the hype! Perfect mix of sweet, heat, and meat. Loved the added subtleties of the pistachio and jalapeno. Also had the adobo wings and a few cocktails which were also top tier. Can't wait to visit again this summer!

Excellent local pizza restaurant that offers Detroit style pizza, thin crust pizza, apps and happy hour specials. We ordered the Premo Detroit pizza and the Drunken love thin crust. Both were awesome and completely spot on. If you haven't tried the thin cracker crust you need to as it's unique to any other crust out there. Also the drinks are great and mixed perfectly. The servers are definitely professional and attentive but not hovering. If in Stillwater this is a great place to unwind and get great pizza.

We’ve been several times and have done both dine in and takeout and haven’t been disappointed. We go the gluten free route for the pizzas and very much enjoy the crust. We’ve also tried a few of the wings and have enjoyed the flavors. We’ve taken others who have had the regular pizza crust and enjoyed it. Love their cocktails and haven’t had a bad one.

After looking online for a different pizza to try we decided to give Melt Pizza a go. As a walk-in I ordered the Soprano and the OG @ the bar to go. The female that took my order was professional. After my 25 minute ride home we were pleasantly surprised with some very tasty pizza. The jalapenos on the Soprano were screaming hot even though the pizza had time to cool. I would definitely recommend the vodka sauce if you're spicy like me. I see return trips in our future.

My word this pizza was 💣! Cheese curds were solid and customer service was nice. Ordered takeout and took it to the local brewery and enjoyed every bite! A bit pricey but it’s understandable! You gotta try it if you enjoy deep dish!

Mike makes a killer cocktail at the bar. The food is out of this world. Takes the Detroit style trend and puts honest ingredients forward. Garden-fresh. Hot vibe too. Dig it.

Absolutely Delicious! Clean restaurant, tastefully decorated. Nice sized buffet with good variety. The Chef making the hot plates was amazing. Watching him cook with one hand with those big sticks was mesmerizing. Couldn't go wrong on the price either, and the beverage is included. We'll definitely be back.

I had a great time at this Mongolian BBQ spot. The food was fresh and flavorful, with a wide selection of meats, veggies, and sauces to choose from. One of the best parts? They even had sushi available, which was a pleasant surprise and added variety to the meal. The staff was friendly and attentive throughout the visit, making the experience even better. Definitely a place I’d come back to.

Their buffet offered a good variety of options, from fresh veggies and tasty meats to delicious noodles. The service was good Parking was a breeze with plenty of spaces available, which made our visit even more enjoyable. Overall, I highly recommend Mongolian Barbecue! Whether you’re familiar with Mongolian cuisine or trying it for the first time, you’re in for a treat!

Brought my grandkids my two 11 year old were $17.99 paid as an adult! They don't hardly eat. Food is good but $90 for 1 adult and 5 kids ages 3-11 is just too much!

In spite of the other reviews mentioning sketchiness and warm/old food, Overall, I’d say OK. A few things were good (ice cream), a few were bad (chicken on a stick were all burnt, shrimp were not shelled), most things were average.

Great restaurant, but too hot to enjoy when they barely use the AC, especially on a packed Sunday with a heat warning. $18/person should be enough profit to properly cool a busy restaurant. Will wait for cooler weather before considering returning.

Walked in just a couple minutes before they switched from lunch to dinner. The young lady at the register rang us up for dinner prices. I asked her kindly to adjust to the right price. Then she checked the clock (3:30 pm on the dot after all the time it took) she said "now it's 3:30, I can't do that). I've eaten here for over 7 years. It's not the money that bothers me, it's the attitude problem that lost a longtime customer

Really great little restaurant. Fantastic food and drink selections. The service was great. Cute little bar/restaurant. Margaritas by the PITCHER!

The food is great - my favorite place to get tacos barria. The large margarita should be renamed the jumbo margarita - definitely worth it!

Came with my work, ordered the street burrito and it was almost over half just beans, barely any meat. Picked out most of them juat to try and finish it and when I mentioned it to the server all he did was laugh and walk away. Be careful of this place!!

2024 Great food. Big portions. Live close but always go to the Hugo one. Expected higher prices here, but no. Server checked on us frequently and the huge seafood burretto (lots of seafood in there) and jumbo margareto were excellent. Food was hot and came quick. My wife and I arrived at 3pm. Perfect timing and lots of staff. 11/25/24 3pm Prices have gone up. Food & Service great! Each had a Tostado & I a large Texas Margarito on rocks. Love that drink. 2/23/25 1pm. Great food. Excellent waiter, unique, polite and kind of funny. Busy. Clean restroom, paper towels, but dispenser broken. A nice place to eat and talk.

The new pizza birria is amazing! What restaurant can have an 8 page menu and you receive your food quickly

We were driving home from visiting family out of state, and we were craving Mexican style food. We weren’t expecting much, but were more than happy with the outcome. We had our dogs in the car, so we asked to be seated on the patio so we can watch our dogs while eating. The waiter told us to just bring the dogs to the table we had outside. It made all of us happy to have our dogs close, and not locked in the car. The waiter was always checking on us to make sure everything was good, and ask if there was anything else we needed. He was definitely one of the better waiters I’ve had out of most restaurants I’ve been to. Right away, home made chips, and salsa was brought to the table, and was hard to stop eating. Food came up rather quick, and tasted much better than I expected. Tortillas were definitely made in the restaurant, meat was tender, and juicy . Veggies were fresh, and full of flavor. I would highly recommend anyone looking for fresh, and tasty, Mexican food, I would highly recommend Fiesta Mexican Grill. I did go in on Memorial Day, so it was mostly empty, so I do not know how busy it gets on a normal day, but I am looking forward to returning, so I will update once I figure it out. ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Server was a bit slow, had to track down someone else to get a refill. Was there for forty minutes and refill sat empty for a good 10-15 minutes. Place was not overly busy, maybe 4 tables and two individuals at the bar. Otherwise, everything was spectacular.

Swung by at 5pm on a Sunday and had to check that we were open, as the parking lot was very empty. We got two appetizers and a pizza. The appetizers were absolutely delicious, out of this world spectacular!! The pizza we got was Elote Pizza and it should have been called Sweet Corn Pizza as it didn't taste anything like Elote. We had to drown it in red pepper flakes & Parmesan cheese to get it to semi resemble Elote. The service was less than ideal, although our waitress was very nice, she forgot to give us menus and often disappeared for long stretches, it took WAY too long to get our check. We got dessert, the Devil's Food Cake and it was WAY too rich! If it had half as much icing it would have been much better!! Overall I would go back as the apps we had were absolutely perfection!! (Steak tips & brussel sprouts)

Never been here before. Needed a nice late Sunday dinner. Signature cocktails were great. Had the beet salad, black and blue burger and the big meatball. Really good.

We visited tonight for the first time and I really appreciated the macabre decor. Great theme (unless that kind of thing offends you). I had the Korean BBQ chicken sandwich and it was outstanding. The garlic mashed potatoes were a little heavy for me. My wife had their prusciutto and mozzarella pizza and it was ok. Good tap beer selection. We also had the beet bruschetta and it was tasty, and different than most other bruschetta. Bathrooms were very clean and the art is fun to look at. Great decor and the service was excellent.

This was our first time here and it won't be our last for sure! The decor is awesome! Think speakeasy or like a library with dark wood and soft lights. We happened to be there at happy hour (3-5pm) and enjoyed getting to choose from a large happy hour food and drink menu. We started with apps. We ordered the parmesan bread sticks with marinara dipping sauce. I thought they were just ok, but the other 3 people in our party loved them! We also had the brussel sprouts. And we all thought those were very good and a lot of them. Both sides were easily on their own enough for a party of 4. For the entrees, I ordered the mozzarella stuffed jumbo meatball over fat spaghetti noodles with marinara sauce. That was scrumptious! Loved it!!! Couldn't even finish half of it! My husband had the happy hour lasagna. Oh my goodness that was so so good! My friend had the steak baguette sandwich with a side Cesar salad that she said was wonderful and stuffed with tons of steak. We split chocolate cake and key lime pie for dessert. The cake was yummy and the pie was just so so. Not much pucker power. Just kind of bland. Nice service by Derek. We had to wave him over a couple of times because he was talking with other co-workers. But he was sweet and overall did a good job. Just young and maybe new to serving. He'll get there💜 I did take a good look at their non happy hour prices and I thought they were pretty high. But I guess prices are going up everywhere. Still, I'll go there during happy hour.

Want to avoid the hassle of downtown Stillwater but still enjoy a top notch meal? You've come to the right place. Devil's Advocate serves up cocktails and food worthy of downtown, but is at an easy to get to location right on Hwy 36. We enjoyed excellent drinks and really flavorful food. Service was friendly and fast from the moment we stepped in to the minute we left. Highly recommend; I will be returning soon. Pictures say the rest.

We ordered take-out because we had heard the pizza was great. We called it in and were told 20 min and got there in 25 minutes. The pizza wasn't ready, and we had to wait another 15 minutes. I was a little annoyed, but it gave me time to look around in the restaurant when it was dead. I love the atmosphere in there with the fire pit that has fake smoke, the ladder behind the bar to get to the top shelf liquor, and even the little gift shop of spices shirts and glasses they have. Overall, pizza was just like everyone says it is impressive. I was definitely going to make my way back because the menu looks great, and with the outdoor seating, it will make for a fantastic summer dinner spot.

Let’s call it a 4.5. Walked in and got seated right away. Server was good but kind of slow. Food came pretty quick and it was delicious. The pizza I would say is probably the best in the area, nice thin, chewy crust. Close to New York style pizza. Will definitely go back.

Amazing meat and deli case!! We got juicy Lucy's, hot dogs, stuffed chicken breast for the grill👍

I love this little eclectic place!! Do you want old fashioned WONDERFUL buns? They are soooo good here! You’ve GOT to try the hamburger and brat buns!! Their monster cookies? You might have to fight me for the last bag. They have wonderful cheese there, and jalapeño beef sticks, and a lovely little deli. Are you looking for a special grilling spice rub or sauce? They have sooooo many! The steaks are good here too! The only thing that I don’t love here is their chicken- For some reason, I just can tell that they inject it with something, and it makes their chicken rubbery (?) for lack of a better description. Not my favorite. HOWEVER…. Everything else is fantastic, and it’s tiny, but worth your time!!!

Stopped to grab a sandwich....probably the best chicken salad I've had in a long time...very generous serving as well. All staff I interacted with were very pleasant and helpful.

Good old fashioned butcher shop and a small well-appointed store. My husband loves that you can order the thickness of the bacon that you would like. That said, no matter the thickness, their bacon is delectable!

Besides getting meat straight from the farm this is a close second. Frequent buyers of the Chicago all beef hot dogs and the 85% lean ground beef. The staff are amazing, helpful and wonderful to chit chat with on the slower days. Love the local produce and supporting local! 🌽🍉

Everything I have ever gotten from here is always amazing. Bag lunches are an absolutely unbeatable price. They have so many great sandwich options.

Family owned Friendly Great specials for lunches, good prices on everything. Clean Good variety

Decent soft serve. It had a very smooth texture but the flavor was too subtle for my liking. I think adding toppings would have solved this though! If you like more subtle delicate flavors you’ll definitely enjoy this spot. The atmosphere and the place’s decoration were amazing though! I really enjoyed the fun neon lights and colorful decorations.

Yes, the soft serve does have a subtle taste. I think it makes perfect sense because the ice cream is meant to have toppings! 😋🍫 The subtle taste allows the toppings to really add that sweetness to this dessert. I enjoyed but it is a pit pricey, $9 for one! ☝️

I was so disappointed today when the worker handed my sister this ice cream (untouched by me). They charged us for vegan ice cream and then said “oops we are running out so sorry.” This was unfortunately a waste of money! They probably should not have charged us for this.

It's great that they have gluten-free options as well as dairy-free options. Even gluten-free cones are available.

Fantastic allergy protocols. Their current ice cream is tree nut-free, produced in a facility where coconut is present. They change gloves, prep in a special area, and pull fresh containers of toppings.

Super fun experience and love the decor. But I wasn't a fan of the actual ice cream. So I wouldn't probably wouldn't wait in the long line again. But staff was nice and moved lines quickly. The editable glitter was fun! They had vegan options and bunch fun cones! That was cool but I need more flavor in my ice cream and I had a chocolate waffle cone with the burbon brownie or what ever and we got the cookie monster and the one with gummy bears and fruity pebbles. Kids love that! I did love the cone holders for the kids! That was great 👍.

Best ice cream spot hands down my lady is gluten free and I'm not and I still love it they're banana chocolate chip cookies are the best the Young people that run the store and Stillwater super amazing especially this young man who's on point every time we come in his customer service is above and beyond he's always so tentative and personable awesome job buddy ! Thanks 😎Dave

Bar tender with ginger beard turned me down for having a “fake ID.” Lowkey discrimination, after getting a ride from Brian’s Bar. It was my friends 21st. Maybe being more educated on how REAL IDS look to get more business and money! Real disappointed he only took a glance at the IDS. I’ve been 21 since January.

It's always fun to stop into the harbor bar in Stillwater. The service is great from Donna mae, Jake, Sam, Pedro, and others. Coldest and cheapest White Claw's in town, $4.25. all roads lead to Harbor Bar. It's like Cheers, everybody knows your name. See you there. 5 stars. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

They have cold beer at this location. It's an interesting place, you should check it out. Bloody Mary was excellent. Pool table $1.25.

A really fun dive bar! Jake and Pedro were top notch. The hard working locals were friendly and even bought us a drink and a shot because this place was on our bucket list! Don’t pass it by! Stop in for a cheap drink! Will return!

Only pizza for food options. Sever gave us little attention. Decent bar not exceptional service

Everyone here is amazingly friendly. It's a neighborhood dive bar but way cleaner than your average bar. There's a nice patio out back. It's everything you want in a little local bar. The staff is always nice and fast. They have good pizza.

Best drink prices in town & all of the bartenders are awesome!!!

10/10 experience! We stayed here for our mini honeymoon immediately after our reception and it was a real treat. They score bonus points for being dog friendly and super close location wise to all the shops, restaurants, and bars

Superior service. Excellent room. Beautiful view. We stayed in a Premium King room, on the 3rd floor with a view of main street/the river. I've stayed in hundreds of hotels for work, tour & leisure, and this was my single best hotel experience ever. (Make sure you reserve parking ahead of time - but even with that, the front desk staff 'rearranged' the valet lot to accommodate our car. (a wedding group had commandeered the majority of the valet lot)). Lora staff even brought a dining table up so my girlfriend and I could have dinner in our room (I provided my own dinnerware, candles & wine service, but Lora does do a package similar to this as an add on). I ordered 'to go' food from the Feller restaurant - which was also outstanding. It was a perfect weekend in a beautiful city.

I got married in Stillwater in early January. We had our cocktail hour and dinner in the restaurant below (20 guests). They have a cute private dining room that fit our group perfectly. Lora did everything to make my wedding a perfect day. The pastry chef created an amazing cake for us that really was a work of art. The whole staff was accommodating and approachable. We would highly recommend this venue if you wanted to have a small wedding. Rooms were so cute and the beds were easily the most comfortable. I was able to sleep the night before my wedding. Everything about our stay made us feel like we were at home. Thanks so much Lora!

I had an absolutely LOVELY two nights at Lora this week. The staff was so kind and greeted me every time I popped in and out of my room. The hotel is built into the side of the rock. The rooms are super cool - reminded me of The Hewing in Minneapolis. Gorgeous shower and bathroom in general. Aveda products (thank you!!) They have a great patio on main street and neighbor businesses include a coffee shop and restaurant. They valet for $30/night (I stayed 2 week nights) but instead, I parked across the street in a pay lot for $20 for 2 days ($5 per 12 hours). You can't pay with an app so I had to physically go to the surface lot 4 times. But back to the Lora, I HIGHLY recommend!

Loved our time here!!! Everyone was very nice, the location was fabulous, the bedding was heavenly, and the shower was perfect! I highly recommend a stay at this beautiful hotel. Loved its cool vibe and the stone structure. I think that people who complain about pricing have to look at the location, the high-end finishes (super comfortable bed, linens, pillows, and that wonderful shower), and so I ignored those comments on reviews before my stay, and I'm glad I did. I do think their pricing is fair.

It's clearly a new place and they're working on fine tuning everything, but overall a good experience. Staff were extremely kind and friendly the whole time. Very unique aesthetic with a mix of contemporary architecture and the old 20's-era brick. Be careful when booking cheaper rooms, some don't have much in the way of windows since they're somewhat built into the cliff. Upgraded to one of the nicest rooms they had for our second night and it was amazing.

My husband who travels an insane amount for work and has stayed in hundreds of hotels all over the world said this was in his top 5. It's lovely from top to bottom and I really enjoyed our stay. One tiny complaint is the heavy scent in the reception area. It was strong enough to give me a headache and I avoided it at all costs. Everything else - the decor, the convenience, the beds, the service, the bikes we rented, the location - was top notch.

One of my favorite places!! The best place is Stillwater for a nice drink!!! Service is excellent and Justin is the best, very knowledgeable, friendly and he really makes the place a great spot!!

We discovered this place tonight when walking on the street. Very nice place, greatly decorated with modern stools and chairs. Lighting is very good. So overall great atmosphere and a nice place to stop to have drinks and you can also buy the cocktail kits for home. I believe summer should be also cool as their patio faces to the river. We were full and already had alcohol so tried zero proof old fashioned and it was great!

Cool place. The drinks are AMAZING! Main level and bar is nice. We decided to check out upstairs deck. I am glad did. Beautiful view and lots of seating. No food but you can buy their liquor. Plus, they sell the kits to make their specialty drinks at home. What a great idea!!!

Absolute delight to find while walking around. Can make NA cocktails for kids, extremely knowledgeable staff, pristine bar area. Can't wait to come back. The cocktail kits to go are top notch.

Nice indoor bar, seating; copper & white sunny atmosphere, people and patio. Deck overlooking St Croix River and Lift Bridge view. Distillery can make almost any drink non-alcoholic, and have root-beers, soda, etc. Relaxing environment.

Came after picnicking on the shore line. Lizzie, Justin and Andrew (owner) were absolutely awesome. From the amazing drinks that were served to the excellent customer service. We were able to try a few experiments that were still in the process and just talk about the distillery. Lizzie taught me more about drinking the correct way in five minutes than I've ever known. Definitely a must visit spot in Stillwater. If you're going, grab a " wake me up before you go girl", dang. It's good, you won't be disappointed. Also, cool patio area overlooking the river.

Husband and wife team Andrew & Christie's new distillery, Forge & Foundry, is a perfect addition to historic main street Stillwater. After a warm greeting in the modern, minimalist bar by Christie, my Minnesota Mule was hand delivered and couldn't be better, a perfectly tart, slightly sweet drink for a weekend afternoon. Andrew is personable and friendly, an engaging conversationalist even as he's climbing all around the shining new stills, already preparing the next round of spirits. The new equipment positively gleams in the space, the chrome and copper abounds in a magical blend of the distiller's craft. But the secret for those looking for a more natural view is what is probably the best deck in Stillwater, elevated and overlooking the lift bridge and the bluffs, it is a space not to be missed. I hope you get the chance to give this great, family run addition to Stillwater a try as soon as you are able.

This place is amazing. It’s a charming stand with fantastic coffee and tons of great flavor options. The mini donuts are such a unique and memorable touch that really sets it apart. The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, which makes every visit enjoyable. Definitely worth a stop if you’re in the area.

Hidden gem attached to Nelson’s Ice Cream. Walk up or drive up. The Cafe Miel and Baklava Latte’s are amazing! Plus you get a mini donut with every cup!

Was in town for long weekend and our 3rd coffee stop throughout the weekend and this was by far the best one. The mini donut was a nice little treat with the coffee. Nicely done!

Tried Arts for the first time today on the way to walk the Stillwater lift bridge. Very happy with my coffee! I got an iced caramel apple latte and a little doughnut on top. I haven’t found many coffee shops that make a drink the way I like it so this place exceeded my expectations. Will definitely come back!!

Excellent coffee! Best customer service in town and so affordable! Mini donuts are their signature touch to the local Stillwater experience. Who doesn’t want a donut with their coffee? Drive thru license is still pending, so just drive up to the window and hop out of your car 2 feet. You’ll be on your way in no time!

My first time here, and I was super impressed with my drink!! Really nice coffee flavor and not too sweet! It was perfect! I was pleasantly surprised!

Great, cute little coffee kiosk that gives you a delicious tiny donut with every coffee.

3/9/25 Noon. Very busy. Joe, order taker, great. People before us but welcomed us upon entry. Great Cod sandwiches and crinkle fries, plenty. Employees cleaning and working in dining area. Lots of customers eat inside as opposed to drive thru. Clean and fresh cut flowers in restroom. A nice atmosphere.

I went through the drive through just after 7 PM tonight (Thursday). I was so frigging starving and I’ve always been very satisfied with Culver’s food and service. They brought it (a Deluxe) out to me and everything was fine until I got home and opened the bag. It was like somebody had literally sat on the burger, and it was barely lukewarm. The lettuce tasted like it had been sitting out on the counter all day. I live about five minutes away, so there’s no reason the burger should have been that cold by the time I got home. I’ve done their drive-through before and gotten home and had a nice hot burger, but not this time. I don’t know if it was leftovers from their dinner rush or what but it was a supremely disappointing experience and I’ll probably just go to another fast food restaurant after this one. If I had opened the bag and seen what a miserable burger it was while I was there, I would’ve returned it and asked for another, but by the time I got home, I was too tired and it was too late. Major bummer because I was just got off a 10 hour shift, was completely starving, and was really looking forward to one of their amazing burgers. They always ask, “what can I make fresh for you?” And I honestly don’t remember if they asked me that this time or not because I was so tired but I can tell you for a fact they definitely didn’t make that burger fresh tonight. I tried to eat it but it was horrible tasting so I threw it away after two bites. Expensive bag of garbage.. What a disappointment. Never going back.

I’m enthusiastic to report that this Culvers was amazing! The food was absolutely divine! There were a decent amount of food options available! The staff was amicable and so delightful! The wait time was not terribly long. (Although past times I’ve been here, the wait has been long. The drive through typically takes a while😅) There was plenty of seating options available and the place was kept fairly clean! My dining experience at Culver’s was top notch! I will definitely be coming back to this Culver’s on a regular basis!I totally recommend coming here! There was also a lot of parking!

I ordered a chicken sandwich without mayonnaise and a hamburger. The manager noticed that I emphasized that I did not want cheese or mayo. She clarified if it was an allergy or a preference. I sincerely appreciated this level of service. The food itself was served quickly. It was warm and delicious. I definitely recommended this location and will return.

It's extremely hot out and it's unfortunate to see that Culver's is now making their employees stand in the heat taking orders when their drive through works just fine. This is dangerous and putting those employees at risk.

Food is great, love the cheese curds. Kids meal gets ice cream included. You have to pay extra for sauces.

Literally screw up our order every single time, as if that is their motto. Later crew, please get it together. I understand you wanna go home, but damn. You’re open until 10pm. Close at 9 if you’re done working at 9.

4/8/25 Noon. Tacos, good flavor. Not much meat. Metal chairs are noisy and a distraction. 2/1/25 11:30am. Had burritos, something I could eat while running errands. Quiet inside. Kiosk worked fine. Food was hot and came fast. Clean tables and environment.

They removed easily the best and most reasonably priced combo from their menu. The Luxe cravings box was the only menu item worth visiting for. The staff are excellent, but the decisions by management are absolutely steaming garbage.

Ate there for the first time in about 6 years... what happened to the taco shells?? 🌮. Are they saving money with super thin shells? 2 out of the 4 tacos came with broken shells, one bite out of all of them caused the shell to completely break. Otherwise they were good, I wished I had a bowl so I could have broken them up and had taco salad.

Lowest employees out of all the Taco Bell’s in mn. They make people in the drive thru come inside and pickup their food. What’s the point of having a drive thru.

Unfortunately, you were tied to corporate, making you use the kiosks. It was a little frustrating because I placed my order and 2 people placed their orders after me. Hang up received there food before me. Because there was no one at the counter that could take my cash. So my order was pushed behind everybody theater two.

I love this taco bell. Everyone is so friendly. I rarely ever have a mistake and everything always tastes so good. I come here way to often.

Zero stars, forgot my cinnamon twists AGAIN, going to just make my own tacos from now on since they have a 0% average of getting my order correct

I ordered 2 pizzas (1 pepperoni pizza & 1 Canadian bacon pizza) I ordered over the phone. I was told my order would be $10.71. I get to the store & my total is $12.32. I was told it was because ham is a premium topping now & it's 50 cents extra....if it was 50 cents extra my total would've been around $11.25 with tax. So ham was actually $1.50 extra. I won't be back. I feel it's underhanded & irresponsible telling a customer one price on the phone & then charging them more & then not caring about your customer. It's a bummer because it's good pizza & I order there often. Service is mediocre. I won't be back.

We wanted some pizzas and arrived a half hour before they closed but when we walked up to the store we noticed that the open sign was off and when we asked the girl behind the counter if they were still open she said yes but all the ovens are already turned off and I have everything all cleaned up so it’ll take 15 minutes before the ovens warmed back up. We thought this was ridiculous and very unprofessional so we left. After we left, we sat in our car to figure out where to get pizza and while we were sitting in our car we saw the girl lock the doors, turn all the lights off and leave all before 9 o’clock which is when they were supposed to be closed.

I'm not surprised this location closed. I stopped here over the summer on a Saturday night around 8 pm. I gave the girl my pizza order, I paid for it, she told itd'd only be about 20 minutes. I told her I would go down the sidewalk to the dollar store, but I'd be back. I didn't think was very busy, because after I left I turned around and she was walking outside. For a break?? Anyways, I went back around 8:25pm and the girl was still working alone, the phone kept ringing and people kept walking in the door to pick up there pizzas. I waited for about 5 minutes for her to wait on me, she then proceeded to tell me she hadn't even made my pizza yet. She then walked away to wait on other customers, again, that were picking up pizzas, or answer the phone, taking orders. I assumed she might go back and make my pizza, she was running all around making them and cutting them. Yes, I felt bad she was alone, but she didn't come back to me for about 15 minutes and asked me if I still wanted my pizza, she then told me they close at 9pm that night and it'd probably take a while before I could get a pizza that night. So I said forget it. I then told her I wanted a refund, and she looked at me like I was being rude. I tried to call the store a few days later and asked for a manager, the person that answered said they didn't know when or if they'd be in. So I told her my experience. And she said. Well that was me. And I'm sorry. I asked her to have the manager or owner call me, she said, if I do that, im probably going to get in trouble. I told her that wasn't my fault, and hung up. What a joke.

Long line, very disorganized, one oven broken. Sweatshirt strings flopping onto Pizza's as they're making them. Fun place and they're not $5

The pizza is great! the restaurant is horrible door broken, menu monitors are never on, plus the Staff is super disorganized I had to wait 20 minutes for my pizza and there was no line and I called ahead

I loved this place. But service just continued to get worse and worse. They cut hours back more and more. Last I saw it was locked up and light off around 7pm on a Friday .I suppose that was the end. I wish someone one would revive this place with and just care a little bit.

I still like 5 Dollar Pizza. It's delicious. But the limited hours and lack of an answering machine have limited that love.

My 8 yrs old daughter ordered a big breakfast with steak. When she realized they gave her sausage instead of steak I told the employee about it, she gave us the steak but took the sausage out of my daughter’s plate with syrup all over. Are they planning to serve that piece of sausage to their next customer?

Horrible management! The guy that works that says he's the manager is absolutely not fit for customer service! Nothing but problems when I come to this one, I will not be back!

Just a normal McDonald's service was a bit slow but great overall

Tiffany the store manager is a real peice of work, I go to pick up my mobile order and she is like what did you order to verify my order, I showed her my mobile phone with the order and she still 3rd degree questioned me, then I go to my car to eat because my dog was in the car, I go in for a refill all the coke machines are off and I kindly ask her and explain and she is like I don't do refills for people who left the store only people sitting inside, I think its pretty crap as she wouldn't let me unless I purchase a new soda. I think its crap and totally a form of segregation considering people can eat wherever they want on the property but are denied benefits they paid for. Tiffany should be reprimanded and I need an apology from mc ds ownership in the area here as this behavior is unacceptable as a paying customer I get denied refills because she is power tripping and sitting high on her thrown. I'm not going back until Tiffany apologized for her sour negative 4th of July attitude.

Went here for the first time in a while. Service and food was terrible. Took 10 min for them to even take my payment. My food was stale and they also got my order wrong. Bs

16 minutes for 1 happy meal that I ended up having to come in and grab, good thing I looked for the 2 sauces that I paid for that weren't in the box. Always slacking at this location.

I stop here a couple of times a week for breakfast on my way to work. It is mostly good, a few times I have gotten the wrong order. Make sure to check your order/

I waited in line for over 10 minutes and they couldn't even bother to wrap my sandwich this is what my food look like as it was handed to me.

Update 9/13/25 Stopped for breakfast and the lady is screaming almost att he top of her lungs peoples order number! Unreal and there is several seniors being totally ignored at the register. Sickening Fries are raw every time only way to eat them is to put them in air fryer to complete cooking. Employees are usually friendly. My main complaint is rarely is my order right something is always left out of bag and you have to go back and tell them. Fries are usually cold and half empty.

We waited over 20 minutes in the drive-thru line at 9pm last evening. Had only one drive-thru window open. Waited about 5 minutes before an employee finally took our order. We live less than 5 minutes from this location. When we got home and opened the bags the food was cold; the hamburger bun was hard and stale. Same for the French Fries. Obviously, the food had been sitting for hours and was not freshly prepared. I called back to ask for a manager- no one answered the phone. The prices at this location keep climbing. $3.99 for a small fry that are either undercooked or overcooked.

I have been going to this mcdonalds for 9 years now and no complaints. They always get my order right. Always fast. This location is what all mcdonalds should be like.fast,right orders,great inside,and great employees

Update 8/24/25: Employees out front huffing on nasty cancer sticks and crushing them out on the sidewalk is not exactly appetizing. When you walk in there's a huge mural that says " CRISPY FRIES! ", they're not. They're cold too. The burger was room temperature at best. Burger was supposed to have minced onions. It didn't. Chicken nuggies were lifeless. The ice and sweet and sour sauce were good though.

Got home and realized the 4 piece nugget I ordered for my kid was missing. Went back. Gave them my "receipt" which was actually just a number and didn't show my total or the items I ordered. They looked at me like IM stupid. Then it took them about 5 minutes to finally come back and ask what was wrong. So not only did I drive back from home but then I had to wait because they had to look my order number up. Needless to say by the time I got home my food I did get initially was ice cold. The 4 piece nugget came with a side of big mac sauce that I didn't ask for. Thanks I guess? That's a pretty whack way to apologize though..

very sad to say that one of my favorite locations has definitely not been on top of it lately! last week I went and got an order that was wrong but I just let it slide. today I spent almost $30 on food for me and other people — the whole entire order was wrong. I am grateful that they gave me the correct food for free but the first time they tried giving me the wrong meal again. Secondly, they almost made it wrong for a third time until I told them very blatantly but respectfully what it is supposed to be several times. After that, the respect she had was thrown out the window and her attitude changed very quickly and was sour. Fair warning: I also watched the lady throw away the fries but the 3 cheeseburgers that I opened AND touched with barehands — put them back in their warmer so they can serve those burgers to other people. Not very sanitary and makes me wonder.. Gross.
