Brewery
Granite City Food & Brewery is a popular American comfort-food chain that first opened in St. Cloud in 1999 and has since expanded to 32 locations across more than a dozen states. The restaurant offers a unique experience with its onsite brewhouse, where guests can see the brewing process while enjoying handcrafted microbrews like Duke Pale Ale, Bennie Bock, Batch 1000 Double IPA, and Northern American-style Lager.
Always great food and service. We love Wednesday pasta night. Pasta of your choice, unlimited salad and garlic bread for $11.99. The Cajun pasta, shrimp pasta and Bock and cheese are our favorites.

I’ve been here a few times but figured I’d finally do a review. The staff here has always been helpful and nice. The place has a friendly atmosphere and is well kept. The menu has a decent selection but is kinda on the smaller side I thought. Prices were fair. Me and my girlfriend started our meal out with loaded nachos (which were loaded waffle fries). These were pretty good! I ended up getting the jambalaya which was a smaller portion than I expected and it was extremely salty. My girlfriend got a tomato basil flat bread that was good. None of the food was knock your socks off delicious, but it was decent. I’d go back here again and would actually order the jambalaya again but tell them easy on the salt. Overall a good experience and a place I’d give a shot.

I've been to Granite City several times. The brunch is good because of the bottomless mimosas, but are slow to refill. The nice things about Granite City is there's always something new to try. The bad part is, I get so excited and then the food is mid. GC is never my first choice and hasn't been a choice at all for some time. But! They have the Bao barbacoa tacos on their menu as a new and limited time option, so I had to try them. The perfect margarita is delicious, but spendy. And of course the Bao tacos were mid, disappointing. The other party got the Tuscan shrimp scampi, it was mid, it was OK. The ambiance is nice, the server was SO slow to return. The barbacoa was flavorless and dry. I've had better bao and overall better food and service. We wanted to leave but the waiter must've gone on break. There are more and much better options in this area, probably won't be back.

We had a party of 10. The service was great! There was a mix up with one order (not the restaurant's fault), and management was so accommodating. The food was delicious. I had the Asian salad, and will definitely have it again! I tasted an Asian shrimp taco too. Yummy! If you like spicy, definitely get these! Everyone was pleased with our Granite City Brewery visit! Thanks! See you soon!

I've been here before, and I love the Caesar salad because it's always so cold! I ordered it again today. Just as I was finishing my salad, I thought I had one crouton left. It wasn't crunching, so I spit it out, and it was a piece of cardboard. The manager was shocked himself and gave me a complimentary cup of soup. The service this time was also not good; I'm not too sure if she was new.

We ordered 2 of the Chicken Tuscano for pickup. It was ready when promised, hot, and amazing. The chicken was done just right. The tomatoes were bursting with flavor. It was served with tasty garlic mashed potatoes and crispy green beans. I also want to mention that I NEVER order or eat mashed potatoes in a restaurant. They are typically the instant ones from the box (you know the ones). But these were excellent.

We went to eat because we had a buy one get one free meal. We hadn't been there in several years. I was having trouble bringing the deal up on my phone. The manager came out and helped me and took one meal off. The restaurant was very busy. It was so nice to see large groups of people at a table, there were people of all ages from babies to older people. Everybody was so cheerful, employees and customers. The waitress name Sam was very helpful, very friendly. They were already celebrating Oktoberfest in September, and I tried the chicken sandwich with sauerkraut and cheese topping. It was really good.

Why do restaurants advertise they are open until 10pm? I travel for work and stay at the hotel 3 min across the street. I'm not too familiar with the roads, and Google had me go all the way around the one ways, which basically had me walking in at 9:40. By the time the manager saw me, he offered to get my order in, it was just the shrimp appetizer. I would have taken it to go. But, he said if they could make it, the bar is closed. C'mon you can do better. I had been traveling all day. This is not my first time here. I order the same thing, sometimes to go, sometimes to stay. Maybe on Google you can say we really close at 9:45? The last time I took a carry out during the week, the place was full. A customer shouldn't have to guess what the traffic will be like.

Bistro
Jules Bistro, located in Downtown St. Cloud, is a charming spot that transforms from a coffee cafe during the day to a wine bar at night. The bistro offers a menu featuring delicious sandwiches, salads, and pizza made with locally sourced ingredients at affordable prices. The cozy atmosphere is enhanced by the display of local artists' works and tabletops adorned with old postcards and drawings.
Stopped in on Saturday for some lunch! It was my second time here. First time was great and I had the Tuna Melt. This past Saturday I had the Grilled Turkey Pesto Sandwich, add avocado! So so good! It was steady with customers but we were sat, greeted and received our food within a great time frame. We enjoyed some great cheesecake too! Definitely will return again and again!

A few years ago, my husband and I discovered we had some food allergies. Once we changed our diet, our lives improved greatly, except we could never really go out for dinner. We both had different allergies and it was really difficult to find places to dine. Then we heard about Julie’s Bistro and everything changed. We randomly dropped in thinking we’d go over the menu and take some to-go stuff, but they recommended that we sit down and order all proper-like.  We explained our sensitivities and they created a meal unlike any we’ve had. It was so good and fresh and made just for us! Our waitress was fantastic. She was so caring and understanding and explained how everything worked, that everything was made from scratch and that we can have it how we need it to safely eat our meal. The manager came out a couple times to verify our list of sensitivities and was always so polite and concerned. We felt valued and understood. There was no judgement. Our food was so good!! We’ll definitely be coming back (even though we’re an hour away). Next time, we’ll make their lives easier and let them know before we come so they are prepared with our list of sensitivities. Reservations and such are definitely a good idea if you have a lot of sensitivities and allergies

The atmosphere of Jules' Bistro is tasteful and comforting. The art placed around the establishment is a testimony to their support of local artists. It is very clean, the staff is friendly and relatable, and the service is top tier. The menu is abundant, which can be overwhelming, but there is something for everyone! I could tell that the food was passionately made from scratch. Absolutely no complaints. I will be returning again and again!

First time at Jules Bistro and we might now be weekend regulars. The team was great, friendly, attentive and fast. The Lavender Honey Latte is absolutely amazing ☕ Wife, being from Kentucky, loves to try Biscuits and Gravy anywhere we go and she Loved them at the Bistro! A little savory herbal mix and a fantastic texture although she said It could use a little more sausage in the gravy (with a smirk) but it was a 5⭐ edition. The Monte Cristo French Toast sandwich is a great way to start the day! It's tasty but once you add a dollop of that jam to your bite... Forget About It 🤤 You will not regret trying out Jules Bistro, we can't wait to come back for breakfast again and to try out the Lunch Menu.

In addition to being one of our favorite brunch spots, Jules’ Bistro also provided bar service for our October 2024 wedding at the River’s Edge Convention Center. From the very beginning, the process was smooth and collaborative. The staff were friendly, professional, and easy to work with, and the flexible contract options made planning simple, even as our guest list and needs shifted during the process. On the day of our wedding, the bartenders were fantastic—attentive, welcoming, and quick to serve our guests. Everything felt effortless, which allowed us to fully enjoy our celebration knowing the bar service was in great hands. We’re so grateful to Jules’ Bistro for bringing the same warmth and quality we love from their brunch into our wedding day!

Let me begin by saying that this was a life altering experience. We were unsure of where to go for breakfast, and THANK GOD we chose to come to Jules Bistro. We luckily ordered the steak and egg sandwich on a whim… thinking we wanted one savory item and one sweet item. Now when I tell you that this steak and egg sandwich was the most mouth watering, jaw dropping, beautifully made breakfast sandwich I have ever had in my life, I am not exaggerating. Make sure you load that puppy up with the sauce they give you, because that ish is insane. Upon first bite, prepare to be taken out of your body, and to perhaps forget where you are for a moment. I would almost encourage ordering a second sandwich if you truly an eater. I am truly left speechless in this seat. The best breakfast sandwich ever. We even had to personally thank the chef, but make sure you go before 11, because that’s when the sandwich says goodbye for the day.

Amazing people place and things. Art you ask? Yes, they have it. Delicious and innovative food and drink? Indeed- made with care and attention. A place that feels like home, filled with love and generosity? Check, check and double check. Not my first time here, and definitely not my last. All the stars!!!

I frequented Jules when I lived in St Cloud and have always loved their food and drinks. When we were looking for a caterer for our wedding they were recommended by our venue. After seeing prices and how many delicious sounding vegan/GF options they had, they quickly became our top choice. Angie, the catering coordinator was organized, communicative, and very helpful throughout the whole process. We have only good things to say about the food and service from start to finish. They also packed our leftovers up and we are excited to enjoy the food for a few more days! Our guests LOVED the cakes and cheesecakes as well, an excellent option if you’re looking for a slightly less than traditional wedding cake buffet.

Mexican restaurant
Located in the heart of Downtown St. Cloud, Mexican Village is a vibrant and festive restaurant that offers a wide range of classic comfort dishes and an extensive selection of margarita flavors. The restaurant's colorful decor, traditional art, and lively music create an authentic atmosphere that transports diners to Mexico. Whether dining inside amidst the vibrant ambiance or outside on the street patio, guests can enjoy a rich tapestry of authentic Mexican flavors from the extensive menu.
We had the shrimp fajitas and a super burrito. The shrimp were cooked to perfection and seasoned expertly. The super burrito was "pretty darn super" according to the consumer. 10/10 on service too. Shout out to Evan in the kitchen who made this masterpiece.

Fun, festive restaurant that serves a variety of Mexican entrees, beverages and desserts. Fair prices. Friendly service. Would recommend. Restaurant is decorated like a Mexican village with a fountain inside, cozy nook seating and fun details like a donkey statue. Was greeted when I entered, and felt welcomed. Also enjoyed the regional music playing. Complimentary chips and red salsa (mild) are brought to the table. Chips are served warm. Salsa is fresh with rustic notes. Ordered a Mango Daiquiri, it was served chilled with a sweet taste that satisfied my thirst. The Super Nachos fill the plate and easily serve 2 people. Overflowing layers of meat, beans, cheese, guac, black olives and chips. Appreciate that real cheddar cheese is used. Fried Ice Cream is my favorite! The vanilla ice cream is topped with a crunchy sweet layer and cinnamon whipped cream. Great place for casual dining, special celebrations, date night and a night out. Family friendly.

We went to Cafe Renaissance to celebrate our wedding anniversary. My husband ordered the seafood trio, and I ordered the lamb and beef gyro, lamb souvlaki, and salmon combo. The seafood trio was amazing, but the combo and the soup were just okay, in my opinion. The bread appetizers were good. The palate cleanser was delicious. I love the beautiful food plating. When we went to a fancy restaurant in the city, the server would pull a chair to help me sit down. I feel like it's just a small gesture, but it increases the fanciness of the restaurant. It made me feel like I was being treated like a queen. I love the fancy atmosphere of the restaurant. We didn't have to wait long for our food, which was great. I guess I came with some kind of expectation, but I just felt underwhelmed in terms of food flavor and service.

This place is very very romantic and the atmosphere is top notch, a real treat for date night. The prices are pretty high and sometimes a bit much so it isn’t a regular spot for us… however what you pay feels appropriate usually because of the environment and the service level you get. Pretty good food here and everything comes out paced very well and there are never any issues any time we have gone. Excellent professional service here and just a good looking impressive spot. Love that we have this place for special occasions.

This was our second visit and it did not disappoint. The staff are friendly and welcoming and the overall vibe of the place is very relaxing - the pianist and horn player tonight were very good! Food is not cheap, but for the ambiance and the quality of the meal, you'd be hard-pressed to find a better date night spot in the St Cloud area. Looking forward to our 3rd visit.

My husband and I celebrated our anniversary dinner here and enjoyed everything we ordered. The Lamb appetizer was cooked perfectly. We had both the French onion soup and the seafood chowder. The french onion was the best french onion I have ever had! I wish I had the recipe! Our entrees were both amazing. Service was great and the atmosphere was romantic. Ordered two meals with an appetizer and a bottle of wine and spent about $200 total. Definitely worth it!

The salad was a small plate of lettuce with two cherry tomatoes and two thin slices of cucumber. The Chicken Penne chicken was over cooked and tough for $27. I’ve eaten here numerous times before and enjoyed it. It should be better for what they charge. Won’t be back.

The White Horse Restaurant & Bar is a charming American eatery that offers a relaxed atmosphere, perfect for enjoying hearty burgers, sandwiches, and other satisfying dishes. Established in 2008 by Brian Lee as an alternative to the numerous chain restaurants in the area, it pays homage to a historic downtown bar. This contemporary venue features an all-scratch kitchen and has become a beloved gathering spot for both students and faculty from St. Cloud State University.

Love the chefs creations, which made it a challenge to decide on what to order. Our waitress was fantastic! She explained what the chef was trying to achieve with each dish we were interested in. We will be going back next time we're in the area. If you're a local, this has to be on the top of your list!

I stopped in for a quick dinner before a show downtown. The menu had some tempting options, but I went with a classic cheeseburger and tater tots. The burger was excellent—perfectly cooked, flavorful, and satisfying. The tots, however, were a major letdown. They were so oversalted and overseasoned I couldn’t get through more than two. My tab for the burger, a side of ranch, two Coors Lights (one discounted for happy hour), and a 20% tip came to $33. For that price, I expected more. The atmosphere felt like an old dive bar that hasn’t put much thought into creating an experience, and the food didn’t measure up to what they’re charging. On the upside, the staff was outstanding. I was greeted right away, and the bartender delivered excellent service, which is why I still left a generous tip. This place has potential, but until the food and atmosphere rise to match the prices, I’d call it a one-and-done stop.

The chicken fried steak was really good but the whole dish was a lot of food (definitely a shareable dish). The Egg Benedict was good but again fried egg not poached.

This is your quintessential ma and pa diner with great breakfast food. I’m not from here, but there seemed to be a large crowd of regulars by watching the interactions between the staff and the customers. Food was delicious. The omelet with the sausage was great. Biscuits were slightly underwhelming with nothing special about them or the gravy. The side of hollandaise was substantial and worth the up charge. Hash browns were my favorite with the buttery deliciousness and a decent crunch! Will be back!

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars The Copper Kitchen Restaurant has become one of our go-to weekend spots for breakfast or lunch. This family-owned gem offers a warm and welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel like part of the community as soon as you walk in. The staff are friendly and attentive, and the service is usually fast, even when they’re busy on the weekends. The menu has a great variety of both classic and unique comfort foods. My personal favorite is the chicken fried steak, which comes with fluffy biscuits, eggs cooked just the way I like them, and crispy hash browns. It’s a hearty, satisfying meal that hits the spot every time. My wife loves the “Commercial”—an open-faced roast beef sandwich smothered in savory gravy and served with mashed potatoes. It’s comfort food at its finest. One of the things I really appreciate is that the Copper Kitchen offers gluten-free bread options. This makes it an ideal place for our family, as we have a few different dietary needs to accommodate. The ability to customize meals without sacrificing taste is a big plus. The reason for four stars instead of five is simply because seating can be a bit tight during peak hours, and sometimes there’s a short wait. That said, it’s always worth it. Overall, Copper Kitchen is a reliable and delicious choice for anyone craving a classic diner-style meal with a thoughtful twist. We’ll definitely keep coming back.

Right now it is primarily a breakfast place that closes at 3:00 p.m. as time goes on I hope they extend their hours. We arrived at 2:50 p.m. points off because I walk with a cane and they mopped the floor when I went to the bathroom. My husband's hamburger was huge and so was my eggs Benedict.

I have to say the wings are amazing, the season and crunch is just right. I also had the yellow curry at a level 2 and the spice and flavor was perfect. I had mine with white rice, I would say you just need some more rice I didt feel like it was enough. I will definitely be back to get some more wings and try more of the menu items.

I ordered their wings because there was a sign that said best wings - it’s not the typical Thai flavored wings I’ve had anywhere else but rather more of a BBQ and Cajun cross taste. The wings were nice and crunchy with a good flavor but kind of too sweet for me (I believe it also had brown sugar in the rub). My husband got their chicken pineapple fried rice and I was able to sample some- the chicken breast pieces were a bit dry and bland, the rice was just too wet with sauce and it’s way too sweet with brown sugar. We’ve had authentic Thai food from Houston and Thailand, the Thai food served here did not do a good job representing. I’d say it’s not a terrible place to eat at but my one visit here enough for me to say I don’t need to return to this place for Thai food.

Food is always amazing! I love the coconut based soup and the fresh spring rolls. When going out to eat I love having something made that is fresh and I feel like I’m getting a healthy meal. I’m addicted to the peanut sauce served with the spring rolls as well. The staff is always appreciative and kind.

I recently had the Thai Basil Noodles with Shrimp, and it was nothing short of amazing! The dish was bursting with flavor—the perfect balance of sweet, savory, and a touch of heat from the fresh basil and chili. The shrimp were plump, juicy, and cooked to perfection, pairing beautifully with the chewy noodles that soaked up all that bold, aromatic sauce. One standout detail? The food arrived piping hot, which made the experience even better. You could tell it was made fresh and served right away—no sogginess or compromise in texture. Every bite had that just-cooked feel, with crisp veggies and tender shrimp bringing it all together. Definitely a must-try for Thai food lovers or anyone looking to spice up their usual noodle order!

I had a wonderful experience at Arroy! We came to celebrate a work anniversary, and I enjoyed the slightly upscale feeling of the restraint and the light through the windows. We first ordered a couple of their featured cocktails, mine was a blackberry drink that tasted amazing, and was sweet and tart in just the right way. After that, we ordered an order of the Thai spring rolls, which were an amazing contrast of crisp greens and carrot to the gummy and chewy wrapper, paired with an incredibly savory peanut sauce. I didn't even get pictures, they disappeared so fast! My entree was the Bendana's Pancit, at a level 4 in spice. It was wonderfully spicy and tangy, with cabbage and garlic being the best notes, and served with lemon wedges to squeeze over the top which really made the dish. I had it with the tofu, which was well marinated and prepared. This place does spice the right way, with complimentary flavors instead of just pure burn, and the service was smiling and friendly. They even invited my spouse and I to an event the following night, which we couldn't attend, but really appreciated the gesture. Thank you to all the Arroy staff, and I'll happily eat here again soon!

Anton's Restaurant is a family-owned steakhouse nestled in a riverfront log cabin, offering a sizable scotch selection and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The menu features delectable dishes like the Tres Shrimp with stuffed shrimp, jumbo broiled shrimp, and shrimp linguine. Additionally, they serve high-quality steaks, seafood, award-winning ribs, and enormous popovers.
Anton's famous popovers are AMAZING and they are served with a honey butter that puts them over the top! Everything on their menu is tasty and done with care and detail. The drinks are always on point too, grab one and walk around their beautiful grounds, and you'll be transported to a different time with their wagon wheel decor, the flowing Mississippi river and the ducks and geese. When dining inside, the geese like to come right up to the window and say hello! Anton's is truly a delicious and unique experience.

I was told that the lobster mac n cheese is one of the popular dishes. Was disappointed, pasta wasn’t bad but wasn’t great, for 29$ you get mostly pasta and like small shreds of lobster that you had to dig around to even see any and the texture felt like imitation crab. The three little pigs thou was good flavour and good portion for 23$. The sausage was honestly the best, the ribs fall off the bone, and the pork chop was good. Avoid the lobster mac and go for this bad boy.

I had a very mixed experience here. I grew up going to Anton's. However, as I have grown up, and traveled, and been to many more places, Anton's doesn't stack up. But, for St Cloud, they still are good. We had reservations, we chose to sit outside. Beware, if you sit outside, there are pesty geese and there is a slight smell too. However, that did not bother me at all. I enjoyed interacting with the feathery beggars. But not all will enjoy it. I ordered the steak medium rare and it came looking like a mini football. It was very rare. They replaced my meal, and I got the Cajun pasta instead and it was yummy! However I confirmed with them that the dish did not have onions... and the description said that it had red peppers, and my dish came out with no red peppers, and I don't know if that was a misunderstanding or just them not following the menu. My husband had the roasted duck, and I tasted it and it was very good. We ordered two desserts... and one was just average and one was really good (the chocolate pie). I always enjoy the popovers at Anton's but recently I've had popovers at other establishments that I like better. My husband ordered a scotch and I took a sip of it and it was a very good scotch. I had to Paloma and it was enjoyable. I probably won't go back as it doesn't meet my expectations for fine dining, but for the area I do think that it is still fine dining.

Ippin Ramen in Waite Park offers a blend of casual and upscale vibes with its stylish interior. The menu features a variety of Japanese delights such as Ramen, Pork Buns, and delectable Boba Tea and Mochi for dessert. Visitors can expect quick seating, attentive service, and a diverse selection of dishes including crispy chicken ramen, kimchi ramen, vegetable ramen, char siu donburi, gyoza, and takoyaki.
Was in town and took my family here on New Years Eve, and the food was great! Beautiful place with plenty of seating. We had the char siu and fried chicken ramen. The char siu had three huge braised pork portions (my fav in ramen noodles), which were tender and flavorful. Both ramen bowls were excellent with rich broths. The fried calamari and takoyaki were excellent as well. Top notch service by our waitress that day! Will stop by again when in town!

I have got to say this is the most comforting experience I have had at a restaurant probably ever. The food was absolutely delicious, the wait was not long and it was at the perfect temp. Everything was seasoned to my preference and the tastes were incredible. The food was exactly as I ordered and the server was on top of drinks delivery and catering to me. He was helpful in ordering and a very respectful personable man. The inside was air conditioned and the booth was very comfy. I was happily greeted with a genuine smile and even upon leaving I was wished a great rest of my day. I felt very welcomed and I am so very glad I made the decision to stop in today. I will be telling everyone I know about this place, I have no critique. Even for a person not familiar with Ramen, they are very easy talking and extremely helpful for a first time. If your on the fence about trying them out or curious about the quality this is the review you needed to see. Please give them a shot you will not be disappointed.

It was our first time going to Ippin Ramen. We went there for lunch on Saturday. We didn't have any difficulty finding a parking spot. We were able to get seated within 5 minutes. We ordered various foods: crispy chicken ramen, kimchi ramen, vegetable ramen, char siu donburi, gyoza, and takoyaki. The atmosphere was clean, fun, and inviting, with popular songs playing in the background. The server was attentive and friendly. We got our appetizers and meals in about 20–30 minutes, so it wasn't terribly long. The food was good and a big portion, even though I felt like some flavor was missing. I wish there would be salt, pepper, and garlic powder on the table to season the ramen better. The taro bobba was delicious, though. We'll be back again!

I’m gonna be 100% honest this is possibly the worst deep dish I ever ate in my life. The dough wasn’t even cooked completely. Deep dish pizzas aren’t dry especially “Chicago style” $26 bullshit tbh. Cant speak on any other food here but a deep dish should have way more meat sauce and not dry. Also had to sprinkle Parmesan and red pepper heavy to get some type of flavor. Just being honest.

Super bummed! We normally love GM pizza! But the last two times they’ve goofed up a “half cheese - half Hawaiian” pizza. And this time, you can tell that the staff noticed after, cut the pizza in half, pulled the toppings off one side, and added a small handful of cheese and melted the cheese slightly - and called it good. Slapped it back together with the other side of the pizza and sent it out to us. I’m truly not sure why a half cheese pizza has been messed up TWO times now? I selected all the correct boxes online. Triple checked. I even put a special note on it this time. The note read “Half Cheese Half Hawaiian —> cheese on one half, Hawaiian on the other half”. Really bummed. Paid too much for the pizza to come out like this.

Worst service I've ever seen. Had to ask another server to help our server so we could leave after an hour of waiting for our food. When we finally got the server to come over we had her box up the food due to needing to get going. Our food was absolutely disgusting (overly spicy and no flavor other than my pasta tasting like lemonade) and not worth the money spent or the time. We also never received our free wine, from the promotion going on.

Stopped here fresh from the convention center and was greeted nicely. The service was provided by Em, who was genuine and very kind. I was recommended the gluten free chicken alfredo.

The venue is beautiful, we could keep all our guests together with a beautiful ceremony outside, and the dinner and dancing inside close to the bar. The manager Lyndsey is just absolutely the best! She was always in contact with us and made us feel like she truly cared about detail. She made sure every question was answered and every request was taken care of. From certain drinks we wanted to the decor and even duct tape, 😁 she helped us make a beautiful and perfect day! Our dinner and the sit down service were phenomenal as well.

We got the dill pickle cheese curds as an appetizer. The food came quick and looked great. The cheese curds were hand battered and were very light tasting. Not drenched in grease and were very good. My burger was pretty good but I think next time I’ll get something a little more different than just a bacon cheeseburger. The gfs Ruben was delicious!

Hit and miss on some things. The staff are very nice and friendly and the food is actually very good when you get what you want. I have ordered from these guys two times and the first time everything was right and I was very happy with our food. I have pictures here of the Philly cheese steak with no onions and the Cali Burger. My fiance also ordered the Pickled loon with no pickles but was basically handed a plain burger as they forgot the bacon and some other dressings. My Cali Burger, was fantastic. The mixture of the cheese, sauce, and generous avocado slices made it worth ordering. I made time to order it one more time before leaving town. Personally, I don't like how there is no online ordering. I'm very awkward and don't like having to call a place to place an order. That being said, everyone who I've spoken with has been very polite and understanding of my awkwardness. The estimates for food pickup are not very accurate. I ended up having to wait an additional 25 to 30 minutes for our to go burgers. I was honestly so very excited that I could have a Philly without the onions. I know it's practically sacrilege, but I just don't like them. If you are in St Cloud, and tired of chain restaurants, give the Pickled Loon a try.

She was not paying attention to any of her tables, was crying, and being obnoxious. Made Billy pick up after her table when she was sitting down at a table with customers. Not impressed by her at all! Billy deserves a raise for doing his job AND hers. Then she took about a 15 minute "break" with her "friends" while on the clock. Making Billy fully responsible for the whole bar & restaurant. Kudos to him! She needs to go :)

The Strami Burger is easily the best burger in town. Generation portion of pastrami and coleslaw on a excellently seasoned burger and the bun is toasted perfectly. All the specials are amazing and the regular menu items are delicious too. Each soup I have had is delicious ( the loaded potato and the wild rice are particularly delightful) and the Ollie's are great as well. And don't forget the cupcakes. You can't go wrong with anything here.

Dutch Maid has some of the best donuts and rolls I’ve ever had. Very delicious. They also handle large orders for the company I work for. I highly recommend them!

Absolutely amazing! The store was clean, the staff were super friendly and inviting! There was no wait at all and the staff waited for us to figure out our order with no issues. The smell of the store is great and the taste of the donuts and cookies are phenomenal! If I could give higher than a 5 star, I would. 100% coming back again! We got a dozen donuts and a container of seasonal cookies for a great price too!

I have visited this place a quite a few times and I always enjoy their scrumptious soft donuts. There donuts are always veryyyy reasonable priced. My favorite is their sugar twist donut. Today I finally tried their chocolate chip muffin and it was amazing!! The staff are always so quick to help with anything you need and very friendly. I recommend giving there delicious donuts and other treats a try!

Been coming here on and off for a bit. Every time I’m like okay the donuts are good. Which is always nice, but I can get donuts almost anywhere. So I want to try other things. Never know when you’re supposed to show up for those items though. I’ve been there at like 11am. Most donuts gone. Most cookies gone. They have buns maybe a pie or two. Sometimes danishes. Then cupcakes and small cakes. I’ve asked about when is the best time get stuff. To multiple employees. No one has given me a clear answer which makes no sense. I was told they make a really good cranberry wild rice bread. Tried to get some. Was basically shrugged at with the most run around answer of how to get it. Then when you show up at 12-1 it’s even more empty which confuses me more. Cause they’re still open for hours. So what exactly is there to buy? Either way if you want a donut sure they’ll most likely not have what you want. But otherwise can’t recommend this place much.

The donuts need more frosting! I’ve picked up donuts here a few times for my staff and family, and we’ve all been disappointed by how little frosting there is. The donuts were also lacking filling, and the selection was pretty limited — almost sold out on a Friday morning at 8:00! If donuts are your specialty, they should be done well. On the bright side, the service was friendly and fast, which I appreciated.

Been going here for years. Was always consistent. Last 3 trips, no so much. 1st trip, got home and we picked out 4 donuts and only 3 were in the bag. 2nd trip, ordered 2 plain custard filled Bismarcks, got banana filled. Don't like banana. 3rd trip, Saturday morning. Ordered 2 donuts, bear claw for son was on par, my chocolate covered pretzel was hard as a baguette. Day old would be a compliment. Completely dry and hard as a rock. We may have to start going to Coborns for donuts. Which is sad because we really like to support small business. From one small business owner to another, you really need to make sure your selling a quality product. If quality goes wayward, expect sales to do the same. I normally wouldn't complain after one bad visit (unless it was warranted), but 3 visits in a row is no mas.

We had the sampler appetizer, queso and two entrees. Everything was plated well, portions were generous, and just delicious food!

My family of five had a fantastic experience at Sol Azteca! The atmosphere was vibrant and welcoming, and our server, Uba, was incredibly kind and fun to talk to. We started with the chicken taquitos, which were a hit (even the kids LOVED them,) and then enjoyed a variety of entrees including the flavorful Tostadas Azteca, creamy Enchilada Suizas, cheesy quesadilla, and loaded nachos. Everything was bursting with authentic Mexican flavors but mine and my husband's favorite was the Tostadas Azteca. We wrapped up with a delicious ice cream dessert that was the perfect sweet finish. Sol Azteca was not just dinner for the family but an incredible experience. We loved having conversations with Uba about the Spanish language. The whole experience was top-notch, and we can’t wait to come back! Highly recommend for anyone craving great Mexican food with excellent service.

I know the outside looks deserted, but trust me this place is open! The food tastes good and the portions are huge! and worth the price! This is located off of high 10 so even if you are passing through I would suggest checking this place out. Also the food does not taste hot and there are indicators on the menu telling you what is and is not hot. Definitely a place to check out even on a budget. P.s guacamole here is better than Chipotle and it's not spicy all flavor

Great vibe and good food. Got "the chicken twist." Think mushroom swiss burger but crispy (or grilled) chicken breast. Unique spin, but it was very juicy. Got battered potatoes for my side, nothing special about them, most places call them breakfast potatoes, but still not bad. Cookies and cream shake for dessert, add m&m's, and it was served retro, tin cup style. Fun and delicious.

Whether you're looking for a place for nostalgia, to share a malt shake with your sweetheart, or to bring the kiddos to, this 1950's themed diner has just that. On the outskirts of Waite Park on HWY 75, you can't miss this silver exterior diner. When you're done soaking in the exterior style, you can head on it. The front doors are a PULL type of door. See the arcade as you enter. Friendly staff will greet and seat you. Don't want a booth or seat, the counter seating is an option. Once at your seat, you're offered drinks - they have Pepsi products. The menu is creatively named. They have items like Betty Boop fish sandwich, Super 88, and even Rockin' Reuben. 😆 The menu is also on their website. NOTE: there are no specials on the weekends. I ordered the chicken bacon ranch wrap with a side of onion rings. Did you know the tartar sauce is made in-house?! Delicious! Of course I had to try a malt. Everything was creamy and scrumptious. 🤤 While you wait for your food to cook, take a moment to admire the interior. You'll see 1950's framed ads, pictures of the older classic cars, framed magazine covers and vinyl, and metal posters. The seats are red and white - classic diner style. Don't forget to sing along to the classics like Elvis Presley and Fleetwood Mac. Bathrooms? To the left side of the building just past the counter seating. Gentlemen, James Dean will show you which door. Ladies, look for Marilyn Monroe. Enjoy your experience!

We went to Park Diner to celebrate our wedding anniversary. My husband ordered the crispy chicken bacon cheese burger, cheese curds, and caramel rolls. I ordered a crispy chicken bacon ranch wrap, chicken wild rice soup, and bread pudding. We ordered so much food because we wanted to try so many things on the menu. I love the wrap and the soup. Bread pudding was fantastic! Cheese curds were delicious! The server was friendly and gave us good suggestions. I love the atmosphere of the restaurant. It felt like we were in a movie.

Reuben was excellent, good corned beef, nice ratio of sauerkraut, and wasn't soggy. Also the spaghetti special of the day was solid. Kids menu items (specifically the pancakes/bacon) we're just fine (I know, hard to mess up). Service was friendly and timely. Three star on the atmosphere just because it was a bit tight and I'm not the biggest fan of the retro diner feel, but it was clean and tidy so more just a personal preference. Oh, and the malts were really good.

I ordered for delivery; the Saucy Double Cheese Lucy with cheese curds and the boneless bourbon chicken wings. Due to delivery the food was warm and slightly soggy (to be expected) the flavors and preparation however were totally on point. The flavor of the wings were amazing and still crispy with just the right amount of sauce. The Lucy was medium cooked just how I prefer a burger and great flavor with fresh toppings; and the curds although small hit the spot for a side order. I would definitely recommend the Crooked Pint for good eats and preferably in house. Skip the delivery and enjoy the food fresh from the kitchen. 5***** rating from me.

We arrived at the perfect time because there was a line later when we left out the door at this popular place. So we got in right away. Social distancing snd masks were worn by staff.

First time here, and it was amazing. The food was very well done and was so tasty. The custom pies come out like a thin crust and were bashed perfectly. The spinach and artichoke bread were phenomenal. I will say the potato pizza was a little on the bland side. Great choice of potatoes but to large of chunks. This is a great family-friendly spot, and I would 100% recommend it.

I LOVED their pizza when I stopped a few months ago so when I was craving a hot Italian sandwich I definitely wanted to get one from here. Overall the sandwich was really really good, especially the bread. But it was soo small 😭 I feel a tiny bit cheated to have paid $14 for an 8in sub with this amount of meat on it. The staff was great and super friendly. And they had my food ready in the time they said. So again it was really good, it just felt lacking for the price of the sandwich.

The restaurant looks like it's designed to be a modern industrial style environment. Accommodating families and parties that are traveling. Not much room for large parties, unless there's like one at a time - or if your party is willing to sit separately in booths. Default crust is thin crust - no stuffed crust is available. At least not at this location at the time of my visit. The waitress was very accommodating and helpful. I have two young children and she was very willing to help me figure out the menu for them & myself. We got a thick crust pizza. It has a pleasant garlic flavor & the toppings were adequate. It was relatively noisy even though there were very few people in the restaurant at the time. I don't know what it sounds like when it's busy in there; the restaurant itself had a decent amount of noise. Overall, it was a pleasant experience with good service and adequate food!

04/25/2025 - I got the Chicken Balti & Garlic Naan. I also brought in my grandpa, and I don't recall exactly what he got. Regardless It was excellent, to say the least. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and served at an excellent time! Our server was splendid, super attentive, sweet, helpful all you could ask for. (I didn't ask, but it seemed to be possibly family owned), but the manager/bartender/possible father was also around to check in and see if we needed anything and to see how things tasted. I also saw a possible chef/mom pop out of the kitchen, which I love to see (being a bit of a chef myself) because she was checking in on things as well! There is nothing better than the cook making sure things turn out! The atmosphere was great, with nice background music, unique art, decor, and a clean space.

The raw oysters were fresh and the shrimp complimented it so well. There was plenty of shrimp on the dish compared to some other places. The sauce for that dish was sour and spicy and went well with the dish. All you need is a shot of tequila to go with it and it would be complete!

The food here is excellent and offers traditional dishes. The food is authentic and spicy the way it should be. This isn't some hack Midwest chain style Mexican place with bland boring knock offs of traditional Mexican dishes like you find all over the St Cloud area. This place is fantastic and flavorful with friendly service. It's not very big and I can't wait to see a waiting line stretched out the door when people figure out how great the food is.

New place in town and being a bbq fan figured I had to try it out. We were kindly greeting and seated with menus. Prices seemed very reasonable. We ordered a Brisket Sandwich dinner and an order of st.Louis ribs and a 7oz sirloin steak. The brisket sandwich was the best of the bunch and that in my opinion was just ok. My steak was ordered medium rare and came very well done. The ribs were ok but small portions and didn’t seem to be seasoned. All the met items tended to have that reheated in a microwave taste. I was really hoping to like this place as this area really needs a good bbq joint, but this place just isn’t it. I most likely won’t be back and unfortunately can’t recommend this place for others.

We ordered the feast and some extra ribs and were so surprised with the amount of food that came with it! Overall, the meat was great. The drinks are HUGE! The onions and corn bread were good, the fruit was amazing but the other sides were ordered were okay. Nothing memorable and probably not homemade.

If you're on the hunt for a delightful bakery experience, look no further than Great Harvest Bread Co. in Waite Park! Established in 2000 by DeNae and Mark Hiltner, this charming spot specializes in whole-grain breads crafted from high-quality Montana wheat. With around 40 different bread flavors that rotate seasonally, you can indulge in everything from honey whole wheat to the fan-favorite cinnamon chip.
6/3/25: The third of June ... "Another sleepy dusty delta day." Bobbie Gentry wasn't there, but it's sort of a 67' place. It was actually my first time there, even though I've lived in St. Cloud my whole life. I bought a loaf of sourdough bread, which is good at $7.95. If you want to use a credit card expected extra charge—25¢ on my purchase, not a big deal I just paid cash. I like the place, it has a unique atmosphere—old school Quonset hut—nobody builds businesses like that anymore. It was very quiet at 1:30 in the afternoon. I could see coming there for a sandwich. They have some sit-down places, and it was quite enough to have a conversation with another person. I'm told the chalkboard menu changes based on what's up for the day. The beauty of this place, is that it ain't no chain thing, so better food, and interesting too.

The staff is very nice. My only critique is that I asked about Xmas breads, if they were sweet breads, and they said yes. The Merry Berry was definitely not sweet at all. The White Chocolate was somewhat. Both breads didn't have much in them. I normally like what they have, but unfortunately the Xmas breads were a disappointment.

My local store uses butter and brown sugar in their cookies but not this waite park location.. they decided to cheap out and put profits before your health and well being . If your in another city try the cookies at the great harvest then come here and try them haha you will be discussed at the blatantly obvious drop in quality . PATHETIC !!! YOU WILL BE REPORTED TO CORPORATE. What are you using the cheapest crisco and white sugar you can find?

Guests can also indulge in a variety of flavored teas, like strawberry fused tea with popping boba or triple berry jasmine tea.

I love going here for myy boba tea & their wonton box 😋 I usually get the wonton box & a strawberry fused tea with strawberry popping boba and the Jasmine green tea. Super delicious. Last time I got blueberry popping boba & mango in another omggg also delicious!! The popcorn chicken is good too. I love the ambiance inside. While waiting for your order you can sit at one of the tables set up & play games. They have Jenga, tic tac toe and another I can't remember it atm. There is also a small section where they sell items like; seaweed lays chips, pocky, and special flavor kit kats. There's free wifi & a board that explains that they started in Taiwan & came here.

I’m not trying to sound like a Karen but… If you’re used to Asian bahn mi sandwiches and Asian spring rolls, you’ll be highly disappointed with this establishment’s version of bahn mi and spring rolls. Their bahn mi does not have the bahn mi paste/jalapeños, and I don’t think their carrots were pickled carrots, just plain shredded carrots?!? The bahn mi also came with a piece of ham sandwich meat?!? Their spring rolls did not come with noodles and it was heavily filled with lettuce and 4 pieces of baby shrimp. Come only for boba/ drinks, even though it’s pretty average. I wanted to try their brown sugar matcha latte but they were out of stock on their coffee/matcha drinks. Also, there were two employees working, no customers inside, and the floors were pretty wet. We went in with our toddler. They put up a wet sign, but I feel like they could’ve mopped or soaked up the wet floors with two employees and no customers.

It was not a pleasant experience. My family got Grilled Lamb Kebabs and a Lamb Kebab Platter. There was no one in my family like it. The meat does not taste like grilled lamb for the kebab.

This was me and my gf’s first time here. The place is very well kept, clean and updated. The guy working the counter was very friendly and helpful. I ended up getting a Strawberry fruit tea with tapioca boba that was not good at all. I don’t know if it was the way it was made or if I just don’t like their flavor of it (I usually get the same everywhere). My gf got a bun mi sandwich that she also wasn’t a fan of. She said the bread was wrong, tasted bland and wasn’t made the traditional way. Also got a side order of cream cheese wontons and they were the size of quarters..We really wanted to like this place as they had a good menu and this food is right up our alley of favorites, but this wasn’t a good stop. Maaaaybee we’d try it again, but now we know what not to order.

Pasta Buckets is a delightful takeout spot that specializes in serving pasta in various sizes, perfect for any occasion—from solo meals to gatherings of up to 12 people. Their menu features an array of options including spaghetti, penne, and macaroni paired with sauces like red, alfredo, blush, and butter. They also cater to dietary needs with gluten-free and vegetarian choices.
I finally got around to visiting this new place, and it did not disappoint! Pasta Buckets is a small but inviting take out place, and they are doing it the right way! They have a private dining room for events, and they do catering, but they do not have a dine in seating area, so plan to bring the food home. I had the single size penne with the house blush sauce(house red/house alfredo), with a Caesar salad and garlic bread. I added grilled chicken and 1 meatball. It was a ton of food! The pasta was perfectly cooked, and the house blush sauce was well balanced. The meatball was juicy and flavorful. The chicken was perfectly cooked and well seasoned. The salad was so fresh and crisp and came with an excellent but mild Caesar dressing. The garlic bread has a great level of crunch to it. The entire experience was great. Ordering is smooth and easy with the kiosks they have. The owner, Brandon, came out to greet me with a smile and see if I had any questions about the menu. They also have different size meals for families of all sizes and their prices are very reasonable. It's definitely a must try!

Gluten free options!!!! Really good food!! Reasonable prices! More than just spaghetti 🍝! The meatballs are a meal in itself! Everything was sooo good! We even had leftovers! We pay more at fast food restaurants and get way less food. Our meal came with cookies, salad, cheese bread and meatballs! All for $27. amazing!! My husband sautéed up mushrooms and peppers to add to his, I liked mine exactly how it came. They are located in the old famous Dave's on the target side of the cross roads mall. Worth a try!!!!!

Did an online order of the smallest family meal. Penne, meatballs, salad, garlic bread and cookies. Order was ready when I arrived. Friendly staff. Salad was very fresh, basic garden salad. Garlic bread crisp on outside soft on inside. Penne and meatball tasted just fine. Over all serving size was generous for the price paid. This isn’t home cooked Italian, but we felt the value and over all taste to be exactly what we expected…good. We’ll be back!

WOW!! Our meals were so delicious! I have never had a meatball that was better than my Italian, Sister in Law's, until I ordered one from here! The best meatball ever!! The meat sauce is superb!! The portions are large and my husband and I, both had leftovers. Their home made cookies taste just like my grandmother's cookies.🍪 The owner is so personable, he makes you feel like family! The only downside is that we live an hour away. But we are already planning another visit soon!! Can't wait!

When picking up the food I found out from the owner it is their first official day open for business, which was impressive with how seamless the order and pickup process went and how good the food was. I ordered the medium family meal with a Caesar salad, Alfredo and Chicken. It was all excellent. Caesar salad was fresh and crisp. The chicken was juicy, tender, and well seasoned. It will be enough to feed my family of 3 twice. The only thing I'd change next time is to go with a pound of chicken instead of the half I ordered, as half was right for the 3 of us for one meal, but not enough for what will be leftovers. We didn't sit down to eat for about 30 minutes after we picked it up and it was still plenty warm. We will be back to try some more of the menu for sure and it's always nice to support the limited selection of non-chain restaurants in the St. Cloud area.

When picking up the order one of the staff walked it out to my coworkers car for her. The portions were unbelievable, and the taste..... Amazing!! Our office has ordered the family-style meals from Olive Garden in the past, we all said we would rather have Pasta Buckets! The taste seemed more homemade then Olive Garden and Pasta Buckets price was less then half of Olive Garden!!

This pasta healed something in my soul I didn’t know was broken. We just had the Pasta Buckets and honestly… I think I saw God in the marinara. The meatballs? Absolute units. The kind of meatballs that make you reconsider your life choices—in a good way. The sauce clung to the noodles like it was emotionally dependent, and I respect that. Portions are huge (bless), it’s convenient (double bless), and it’s a small business (automatic gold star). And the dessert? I blacked out halfway through eating it, but I woke up smiling. 12/10, would cancel plans to eat here again. Side note: I forgot to take a photo because I was too excited to eat. When I remembered, our food was already gone.

If you're looking to add a touch of wellness to your travels, consider checking out Iron Street Distillery. This charming venue not only offers unique, handcrafted spirits and cocktails but also hosts events like yoga classes and live music that can elevate your experience. Nestled in a beautifully renovated space in East St. Cloud, the distillery is surrounded by railroad tracks, giving it a distinctive character.
First time there but it won’t be the last. Was invited to an event hosted at Iron Street and it was awesome. Obviously the drinks are amazing but it’s a great spot with a great atmosphere. Plenty of parking. You can actually have a conversation with people at your own table without having to scream at one another. The servers were extremely attentive and we probably had 50+ people at the event. Make sure to Uber or have your own sober cab because you’ll want to take you time and sample as much of the menu as you can! Thanks again to the entire staff at Iron Street Distillery.

Went to Iron Street on Sunday, September 21st at noon because they were part of the FestiFall going on. As we entered the premises, we were given wristbands and were told that cocktails were only $7 as part of the event. We came in to watch a bit of the VIKINGS game, and there was a large screen TV that wasn't set up properly, so the picture was all wonky. So we ordered a couple cocktails and went to the back room where there was a smaller TV to watch the game. We finished our drinks and closed out our tab, and were charged $24 for 2 cocktails! I asked what happened to the $7 cocktails that we were told was the special. They said what we had weren't part of the "special!", so we left a tad pissed, and NOTHING was said or done to make it right! I guess when you aren't very busy, you need to make money however you can... The place was totally disorganized!!!

The samosa was a no for me, the meatpie was under cooked. Egussi- there is more egussi than spinach in this. For the meat I chose turkey neck and stripe and did. It like the taste of the stripe. Beans and plantain- the spice that it come with has no flavor at all!! It’s just pure hot spicy which is fine by me but at relays the spice should have flavor. I was disappointed. 😒😒

If you're on the hunt for a unique dining experience, look no further than Mr. Potato at the Crossroads Center Mall's Food Court! This exciting new eatery opened its doors in October 2024 and has quickly become a must-visit spot for potato lovers. As the name suggests, Mr. Potato specializes in all things spud-related, offering an impressive selection of baked potatoes and hearty soups.
It's an awareness thing when you're ordering at MR Potato in the food court. The food was decent and hot and they have vegetarian choices, which is great. However, while the potato entrees are reasonably priced (less than $7), there are "sneaky" charges that you should ask about to be clear. I asked for soup as a *side*, but did not want it in the bread bowl. (Soup in a bread bowl is nearly $10). The server said she could make it as a cup of soup instead, which I assumed (haha) would be less expensive. It wasn't. It was the same price just without the bread bowl. Likewise, when my wife and I asked for waters for our drink, she handed us Member's Mark bottles of water from Sam's Club which were $2.50 EACH. That's ridiculous. Two potatoes, a small bowl of soup and water came to over $30. Umm.. yeah .. The server *was* nice enough to add onions to my wife's potato after it was served, which was good service. Decent food, but watch the menu, and ASK if what you want will cost extra.

As truckers we travel all over. Been to many restaurants, yes we get tired of fast food or cooking in truck. This place is pricey. Went to reviews, 4.4 they must be doing something right. You will get full. Their togo boxes are very nice. Bourben Burger w/ff, chefs kiss. The burger patty is as big round as bun, if not little bigger. Crispy onions is their own take of a french onion, the maple bacon tastes as though its soaked in sauce. Looks as thought its crisy but was NOT crispy in mouth, almost melts. Their sauce makes it look greasy but its sticky, you know the difference. DELICIOUS! Ordered Rueben w/ff, it was packed with a good amount of corned beef that the sauerkraut does not take over. Each order had good amount of fries with a great taste. Maybe next time I will try those wontons, they sound good too! Even though I ordered togo you know when a place is nice when you walk in, very clean. The employees that checked to see if I had been helped was friendly and kind. The bar has hooks underneath for purses. Luckily I was here during the week, as their hours right now, are M-F 11 am to 8pm. Temporarily closed sat and sun.

My daughter brought us here for dinner - they really like it. Noticed that they have limited days and hours of operation. Morgan our server was very good and prompt. We can’t get walleye at restaurants in Florida so we both had it. Food was good and portion size was ok. Went here again on another trip to Minnesota. Had the smash burger which had lots of meat. French fries were well prepared. Pics of both the smash and tacos. Glad to see they’re now open on Saturday.

The portion size of food to cost ratio is astronomical. As you see one small thin slice of bread and a bowl of Cajun chicken pasta. The host at front door greeted me like usual smiled and gave me the menu then walked away, left me standing there at the front door. So l walked to bar and the bartender smiled and walked off. 10 minutes later the host returned after talking to locals and sucking up to them for a tip. She asked if I had been helped, I replied, no the bartender kept walking away. So, the host she took my order and said it’ll be $56.82 I shook my head and said for Cajun chicken pasta and wontons? She replied you added shrimp. I told her politely; Ok, can you remove the shrimp and wontons spending that much for a meal isn’t worth it. She walked off to the kitchen and came back and said she had to tell the cooks in back not to make to shrimp or wontons. After that little drama, I paid her $32.36 for Cajun chicken pasta. She walked away once again and never returned and told the bartender to bring me my Togo food. I don’t understand this place, I should’ve never paid and just walked out due to how I was treated. Completely unacceptable from a consumer that’s paying your establishment money you treated me like trash, no water, no drinks, nothing… The Host and Bartender where acting like I was bothering them just to being in building. Not to mention the restaurant was extremely dead. It was just the cook, bartender, host and myself. Overall I won’t be back. You can get better cheaper food elsewhere save your money definitely don’t go here if you’re a truck driver. Food review, the pasta was overcooked and over seasoned with Cajun sauce. Not to mention the bread was 2 bites and done.

From the outside, one would think this is a dive bar. It is at the end of a sparsely populated strip mall. But, you need to get past all this. The inside is upscale and the food is outstanding. My personal favorite is the bourbon burger. Jalapeño wontons were excellent as well. Go to RJ’s! You will not be disappointed!

You have to try RJ’s American Grill! The food was absolutely delicious — I had the tenderloin steak bites, herb-roasted potatoes, and crème brûlée, and everything was cooked to perfection. Our server, Michelle, was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and so pleasant to talk with. A wonderful dining experience from start to finish!

Starting off. Some of the best service I have ever received from the moment I stepped in. Our server was kind, caring, and so attentive. We were made aware of specials right away and there were SO many options that sounded amazing (which means we’ll be back). This place feels and tastes like upscale food but with that “mom and pop” hospitality. I tried the steak melt, balanced with great flavor and tender steak, and my partner got the bourbon burger. Super fair pricing for the quality and amount of food that you get. We will be back!

Overall it was a good experience dining in here. Staff was all very kind and welcoming, our server was very attentive. The restaurant was clean and well put together. We came rite as they were opening for lunch so not much of a wait, though by the time we sat it was already becoming quite busy. The food was pretty good, considering it's more of a buffet. Definitely recommended taking advantage of the different spice and sauce options, also being aware some are very spicy. Completely worth checking out this spot. Cons: Very Low Quality, Tough to Chew Meat Options. That said, for the price some may find it A Okay.

Great food with many choices to put on the grill. We visited with the general manager (George) who was very friendly and made our visit pleasurable. He went out of his way to get us G.F. soy sauce for our meal. Our waitress, Destiny was helpful too. We were surprised that there aren't any HuHot Grills in the Twin Cities.

This is the dream-place to make any Mongolian, Thai, Vietnamese or even Korean inspired recipes. The variety of vegetables, meats and sauces is to die for in a lifetime. The Grill team is friendly and care for you in case you have any selfish allergies or so. The service staff is great and always helpful and attentive.

Our first time at HuHot Mongolian Grill was absolutely outstanding! The food is fresh, flavorful, and so much fun to customize. I loved every bite. What really made the experience stand out though was the people. The staff were warm and welcoming, but the manager (George?) is truly exceptional, jumping in to help when short staffed. You can tell they take real pride in their work — checking in with customers, making sure everything runs smoothly, and setting such a positive tone for the whole restaurant. The energy and professionalism they bring is the reason this place shines. It’s rare to see leadership that not only keeps everything organized but also creates such a genuinely enjoyable atmosphere. You can feel the difference when great management is at the heart of a restaurant, and HuHot absolutely has that. Between the amazing food and incredible team, I’m already looking forward to my next visit. Highly recommend!

The restaurant prides itself on catering to different dietary needs, including offering gluten-free options and having the necessary knowledge and supplies to serve those with gluten allergies.
I don't know where to start except that I had a wonderful experience. I can't say enough good things about the service here. It has been the best I have found so far in St. Cloud. The food was delicious. I had one of the tastest burgers in my life and opened my eyes to something different and amazing.

I was disappointed in this Boulder Tap House Location. I’ve been to multiple locations and always loved their food, especially the cheese curds. I ordered these right away with our drinks and they came out only a couple minutes before the rest of our food. The cheese curds appeared to have been forgotten about and were burnt and had thicken cheese on the inside, not the usual melty cheese that they have. The burgers were also burnt as well. It could have just been a bad day, but definitely a disappointing experience here.

4 stars. My wife and I stopped at Boulder Tap House in St. Cloud looking for a quality burger, and it didn’t disappoint. We appreciated that they offer a gluten-free bun option, which is great for those with dietary needs. The weather was nice, so we enjoyed dining outside on their patio—clean and comfortable, though still being fully set up for the season. Service was fast and friendly. We started with cheese curds, which come in three cheese options, though one wasn’t available. The deep-fried cheese cubes were unique but didn’t quite match the flavor of traditional curds. Our burgers were good, and the sweet potato fries were especially tasty. Prices are slightly above average, but the creative menu makes it worthwhile. I like that this place takes risks with its food—it’s not always a home run, but it keeps things interesting. We’ll definitely be back.

Place is run down looking for how nice it looks outside. Appetizers were good but the rest was not. Over sauced wings, sauces were not as listed. Burger was dry, chicken tenders and fries were fried so long they burnt. Had to have waitress take items i didn't order and she had an attitude and tried making excuses. Used to love this place but apparently good help is hard to find.

Worst bar I have ever been to. No exaggeration, this is the worst bar experience I have ever had. Wife and I stopped in for a quick drink and bite before a concert. There were 2 bartenders working and maybe 6 customers at the bar. One bartender was chatting with a group of 4 at the corner who she may have known and making cocktails for just them. We sat down and were not greeted by anyone for at least 7-10 minutes. Not the biggest deal, but we did not have menus the whole time and the tap list is not visible anywhere. A couple sat down directly next to us a few minutes after we sat down. When the bartender finally came over and greeted us, the couple next to us ordered one drink and got one of those tablets to gamble on. They came in to eat and knew exactly what they wanted, they said. The bartender did not check back with either of us for nearly 15 full minutes. By this time, the couple lost their money on the e-gaming thing and were done with their drink. The couple's wife told the husband to get the bill and not to tip. She walked out. We ordered a whiskey neat (terrible tap list) and some cheese curds. The bartender serving us asked the other bartender working how to make my drink. The cheese curds came before I got my whiskey poured into a glass. Cheese curds were super greasy and tasted bad. Not real cheese curds, just cubes of low-quality cheese, deep-fried. We had no napkins/roll-ups and no bar napkins anywhere on the bar either. So we're stuck wiping our hands on the greasy wax paper. The bartender left the bar to chat with the host, then they both went into the back for about 10 minutes. The manager was hanging out by the service well, doing literally nothing. They didn't check on guests, staff, make or run drinks or food. Overall, we were there about 40 minutes to order one drink, one app, and wait on the check to arrive. 3 visits from the bartender over those 40 minutes. We will never be back. (Note: I have worked in bars/food service full-time for over 10 years so I am very tolerant for slow/bad service.)

If you're on the hunt for a delightful culinary experience in St. Cloud, look no further than Star of India.

With a menu inspired by cherished family recipes passed down through generations, each dish is crafted from scratch using fresh and locally-sourced ingredients. Star of India offers an enticing lunch buffet daily, featuring both meat and vegetarian options that showcase the rich flavors of Indian cooking.
This is Gem hidden within St Cloud. The service was great and staff were even better. We ordered mainly vegetarian food and it was absolutely one of the best food we ever ate outside our home. There is ample parking outside the restaurant. The pricing were reasonable. The only one request is that they need to increase the serving size of curries and it is small and hardly one person can eat it. Please increase the price and serve ample food. Keep up your awesome work.

After a long drive, my family and I stopped by Star of India in St. Cloud for dinner, and it turned out to be such a pleasant experience. I ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala with Garlic Naan, and the taste was absolutely authentic — flavorful, balanced, and not overloaded with spices. It really felt like genuine Indian cooking. At one point, I had a small issue with my order, but the chef personally came out, listened carefully, and immediately fixed it. His kindness and professionalism truly stood out. My kid was also delighted — both by the food and the chef’s friendly attitude. The service was top-notch, and the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. As we were leaving, they even offered us a cup of tea for our long drive back, which was such a thoughtful gesture. Overall, an excellent experience — great food, wonderful people, and genuine hospitality. Highly recommend visiting Star of India if you’re in or around St. Cloud!

The atmosphere of the restaurant is nice. It’s well kept and seems clean. It is decorated nicely. Lots to choose from on the menu and the prices are very affordable.

We went on Sunday for lunch before we headed back to mpls. Being the only Indian restaurant in town, decided to give it a try. We ordered the samosa, aloo, dhal soup, and the bread basket (garlic naan/peshwari/chappati) and also the beef briyani. Our server was very friendly and got our orders in. All the appetizers were great. The mint chutney was some of the best ones I have had. The beef briyani was a disappointment. It missed the mark. It did not taste like briyani at all. It was missing all the basic spice for briyani. Also did not have the cashes or raisins that is usually in the rice. I did bring this up to our server and he said they make their briyani completely different. It had a strong tomato taste and there were green bell peppers. Briyani does not have bell peppers. I would suggest calling it something else than briyani. Overall not bad. They have a lot of options. I would go back to try some of the other items.

This is my second visit to this House of Pizza. I forgot to review last time so I figured I should this time. The food was just as good as it was the first time..I especially like the speed of which the food was made.

..PROS: *The place looked clean *bathrooms clean * ordered cross cut fries and a sandwich. Sandwiches are hogie style., warm out the oven, cross cut fries are fried in. Soybean oil. Cons: *there really weren't any cons. I would say, if I had to mention something, it would be the carpeting, it is kind of dirty looking.. Need to refresh. * the ordering process for the pizza menu is kind confusing... ** so basic pizza prices are 9 dollars, 10 inch, 13 dollars, 12 inch. 15 dollars, 14 inch, 16 dollars, 16 inch... And that is the cheese pizza... Every topping that you add is 2 dollars each.. If it's a gourmet topping, then it's 3 dollars each. Don't think if you get a specialty pizza, you're going to save money because for these, you have to pay for the actual toppings on those specially ,pizzas. So on Google, when it rates this place with $$ dollar signs, this is incorrect it's definitely $$$.... The waitress was attentive..

First time at House of Pizza, My daughter and I got the garlic cheese bread which was excellent except it should be served with sauce not a separate charge for a cup of marinara, got a pepperoni pizza which was very good except for the toppings were under the cheese, it always should be on top of the cheese but I'm not from the Midwest so I don't know really how they do it here. The server was excellent, she was upbeat friendly and prompt with our order and our check. My only issue is my glass had a chip out of it and that should have never made it out of the kitchen. Still a very good place to eat that would recommended to my friends 😊🍕

Red Lobster is a vibrant seafood chain that offers classic American dishes in a New England-inspired setting. The food consistently impresses with generous portions, encouraging sharing and bringing leftovers home. While the crispy dragon shrimp fell short, being heavily breaded and laden with onions, the clam chowder had a flavorful broth despite lacking adequate potatoes and clams. The highlight was the shrimp fettuccine, featuring delectable sauce and impeccably cooked shrimp.
We had the absolute BEST experience at Red Lobster thanks to Emily! From start to finish, she treated us like royalty and made my birthday unforgettable. She helped us pick out our own lobster (which was such a fun surprise!) and made the whole night feel extra special. Her energy was amazing, her service was flawless, and she made us feel like queens. If you’re heading to Red Lobster, ask for Emily—she’s the reason we’ll be back!

By looking at the comments, I have a hard time believing some of them from our St. Cloud, MN location. After 30 years as supporter of Red Lobster I quit going after numerous disappointing visits. Recently, I decided to take a friend and her daughters out for dinner and they chose Red Lobster. I had read some positive things about the chain and figured, why not. After sticker shock and disappointment in menu selections, I had a mediocre steak and lobster, but the ladies ordered the spendless shrimp. The shrimp was very impressive for the price. So impressive I order 4 to go for my kids. Fast forward 5 days, 5 pm on Monday, I am driver for our local mobility bus company and it is my break. I hadn't eaten since 4 am and decided on something extra. I only get 30 minutes for break so I called ahead to order and I thought to get them to understand eat it there (I don't make it a habit to eat on my bus). Figuring there would have been communication when I got there, I had to explain to the host, then the waitress my process of being there. Finally, I'm assuming, the manager and I'm also sure the one whom I talked to on the phone, came to my table carrying a to go bag. I explained I had stated to her I intended to eat here I had told I ordered ahead to save time. When she came back with my food 15 minutes into my break, she said they can't do things this way. Evidently corporate never taught them how to listen and think. They know how to put in a plastic container in 10 minutes, but on a plate is too much. She tried saying they might be too busy. There was probably 8 people in the restaurant and I saw 2 carry out orders. If it was busy all they would have to do is say so. Needless to say, I kind of doubt I will be going back anytime soon. I don't have the time to educate.

Had to wait quite a while to be seated and when the hostess did show up, she seemed very confused and put out when we requested a table and not a booth. Our server was nice but acted rushed even though the place wasn’t busy at all. I hadn’t been to Red Lobster in a while and was pretty shocked at the high prices but was completely disappointed in the food. I ordered the stuffed mushrooms as my meal as the photo on the menu showed six good sized mushrooms. I paid extra for the added crab. What I got was six very small mushrooms swimming in melted cheese and a puddle of grease. I also ordered a cup of the lobster bisque, as it’s always been a favorite of mine. I couldn’t believe what I was served. The soup was not only a curdled mess with a layer of grease floating on top, there was absolutely not a single piece of lobster in the cup. Definitely will not be coming back to the St. Cloud location!

Delaney checked often with our needs/wants. Very clear speaking and polite. Food was good overall, the breaded jalapeno and ranch calamari didn't taste like jalapeno or ranch in the slightest.

Wow! I was SO excited to sit down with my elderly parents and enjoy a nice meal at a family style restaurant. When we sat down we were greeted by Marshal in such a timely manner. Usually when I get a male server I request a different one because serving isn't for men. However he was so welcoming and happy that I decided I'll see him through. Oh boy was I stoked that I did! Marshal went above and beyond what we expcted of servers. My mother has awful arthritis so cracking the surf and turf lobster was a chore. Thats when Marshal came in and personally offered to help her crack the lobster. He sat down and took care of my moither so I could enjoy my crab legs. My dad is allergic to shellfish so he opted not to eat anything. Honestly I am just convinced he doesn;t like red lobster and just uses it as an excuse because he loves my Hawaiian shrimps I make for the fourth. I made sure that Marshal was taken care of for his amazing service and I tipped him the 8% he deserved! I had to reduce the tip beacuse the food wasn't my favorite and there was an awfully loud child next to me. Eitherway I hope Marshal enjoys the rest of him time at the red lobster and I look forward to coming back for his service. Amen!

I had a fantastic dining experience at Red Lobster recently, and I just had to share! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, setting the perfect tone for a lunch date. I started with a cocktail, and it didn’t disappoint. The drink was perfectly crafted — well-balanced, refreshing, and a great way to kick off the meal. For dinner, I opted for the steak, and it was cooked to absolute perfection. Tender, juicy, and full of flavor, every bite was a treat. My girlfriend had the shrimp Alfredo, which was creamy, rich, and packed with delicious shrimp. The pasta had just the right texture and was generously covered in that delicious Alfredo sauce, with a satisfying balance of flavors. Now, what really made the evening special was our server, Izzy. From start to finish, Izzy was attentive, friendly, and really seemed to care about making our experience enjoyable. She had great recommendations, made sure our drinks were always topped off, and just had this genuinely warm energy that made the evening feel more personal. Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better experience. The food was delicious, the cocktails were on point, and Izzy made the whole evening feel seamless and special. I’ll definitely be coming back!

The food was fabulous. Some sauces were sweet with a bit of heat, in particular the salsa and the habenero sauce. The Verde sauce was my favorite. I got the grilled chicken bowl, and it was good, but the next time,I will get it with chicken mole', and my husband got the Chaz with Chicken Mole' and Beef Colorado, but next time he would get chicken mole' and Chicken Verde. My husband is not really a fan of the Beef Colorado as it was heavy on the tomato flavor. Lastly, chips are better than store bought. Overall, we enjoyed EVERYTHING!

Ate here for the first time last night as we were looking for a quick dinner and a drink. We're glad we did! We thought the food was excellent, and generous portions for hungry people. My Ultima margarita was yummy. Service was quick and friendly, and the atmosphere was great (it's not a white tablecloth kind of place, but clean and comfortable, plenty of tables to seat yourself at). We'll definitely be back.

Discovering a restaurant that consistently delivers great service and great food, without needing to be spectacularly over-the-top, is truly a delightful experience. It’s in these establishments that you find a comforting rhythm: a warm welcome, attentive staff who anticipate your needs, and dishes that are expertly prepared, flavorful, and satisfying every single time. There’s a profound joy in knowing you can count on a place for a reliably excellent meal, where the focus is genuinely on your enjoyment rather than fleeting trends. This kind of consistency isn't just 'good'; it's a testament to dedication and passion, creating an atmosphere where you feel genuinely cared for and nourished. Indeed, these are the places that truly enrich your dining life, proving that "just great" can, in fact, be absolutely wonderful

I ordered the black bean nachos and vegetarian burritos. I arrived and was told my order will be up shortly. The place is like Chipotle setup but looks nasty. The lady bagging the food was throwing my food in the bag. While putting the other customer food in gently. I get my food and only had a splash of black beans and a butt load of chips. -1/10. The burrito was 4/10. Spending $35 for some horrible food and terrible service. Never will I return. I don't see how this place has good reviews 🤔.

St Cloud, MN location Would of given 5stars but I was upset with the toppings options. I was told they had brown rice which apparently they don't. I was also disappointed that they only have egg in a breakfast burrito that is only a limited time burrito. As a guy who works out I am looking for places that have healthy proteins, carbs, fats. The veggie options are minimal for vitamin/minerals nutrients. Protein is great! Carbs are minimal for options. White rice is not nutrient dense which was why I was hoping they had brown for substitute. Very sad and unfortunate as far as not having health friendly options! And the cost is not up to good standards. Also had gotten a bowl and asked for guacamole which I didn't get. Hmmm

Applebee's Grill + Bar is a full-service chain restaurant that offers hearty American cuisine in a relaxed setting. The food is exceptional, and the ambiance is inviting. The staff, including waiters and managers, are always willing to assist and provide excellent service. One customer mentioned their preference for crispy bacon rather than rubbery bacon, prompting the manager to personally address the issue and ensure that the bacon was remade to perfection.
This place was great! The food was very good and extremely filling, the staff were great and super friendly(shout out to Kyle, he’s very nice!) The decorations were very nice and the place was very clean! 100% will visit again!

Everything went well. It was just the food. Our fries were too salty and our boneless buffalo chicken was too salty as well. I got the shrimp and sirloin; it was fine but I asked for a medium rare steak and got a rare steak. (PICTURE ATTACHED) Didn’t finish it and just left. My partner had the neighborhood burger and it was dry. Our server was great but it problem is the food.

I haven’t been to this Applebee’s in years, and I was shocked by how much it has declined. I ordered a quesadilla with fries, and both were extremely disappointing. The fries were a tiny, almost laughable portion, and the quesadilla barely had any filling.... it felt like I was paying for almost nothing. The food seemed cheap and poorly prepared, far below the standards I remember from years ago. Spending money on a meal that leaves you hungry and disappointed is frustrating. Clearly, this location has cut corners on both quality and portions, and it shows. I hope management takes note, because loyal customers like me will not be coming back until serious improvements are made.

We went to Applebees for a family dinner night out. My fiancé and I did the 2 for $32, and he ordered the Four Cheese Mac & Cheese with Honey Pepper Chicken Tenders and I got the Bourbon Street Chicken & Shrimp. Our daughter got the kids chicken tenders with French fries and ranch dressing. My fiancés pasta was over cooked and a little bit mushy but the sauce was good and the tenders were great. My chicken and shrimp was delicious and so were the potatoes. Our daughter always enjoys the chicken tenders and fries. We are regulars to Applebees, and it’s not fine dining but it always hits the spot. We will be back!

I went here for a late dinner and ordered a margarita, which came with free chips and salsa. Unfortunately, the chips were stale, so I could see why they were complimentary. The entrées were just okay, my wife’s pasta was overcooked, and my fish was fair at best. The fries were definitely cold and stale. The waitstaff was very friendly, but when I mentioned the issues, nothing was done about it. There’s a reason I don’t go to Applebee’s very often, it feels like commercialized fast food at best.

Red Robin Gourmet Burgers and Brews, a popular chain specializing in gourmet burgers and other classic American comfort food, consistently delivers a satisfying dining experience. The establishment boasts delectable cuisine, an exceptional staff, and reasonable prices. Although the ambiance receives four stars due to slightly loud music on one occasion that required elevated voices for conversation at adjacent tables, the overall atmosphere remains pleasant.
Service was very fast & friendly, which is always appreciated. Absolutely love the burgers as they never seem to disappoint no matter which one I try. I highly suggest the lava queso burger because it blew my taste buds away without a doubt. Such a great family friendly experience.

We had a wonderful experience at this Red Robin location. The service was excellent and fast. I think we got our food in five minutes for a Thursday lunch. We ordered the small stack of onion rings- perfect for a couple. Get the larger one if more than two in your party. They were well worth it. My wife ordered the fish and chips with steak fries and I had the Gourmet Burger with house chips. Everything was so good.

I have since seen the light and grown as a man. If you want to flourish morally, I would recommend Red Robin.

I just heard from a reliable source that Red Robin will be closing permanently next Sunday, and honestly, I can’t say I’m surprised. Over the years, the quality of both the food and the service has gone downhill dramatically. What used to be a fun, family-friendly restaurant known for its great burgers and friendly atmosphere turned into a place that felt rushed, understaffed, and poorly managed. The last few times I visited, the service was downright terrible. Staff seemed uninterested and unorganized, orders took forever, and when the food finally arrived, it was often cold or poorly prepared. The fries were soggy, the burgers were dry, and the presentation looked nothing like what Red Robin used to be known for. It’s really unfortunate to see how far this restaurant has fallen, but at the same time, I can’t say I’ll miss it. When a restaurant stops caring about its customers, it’s only a matter of time before people stop coming back. Maybe this will be a wake-up call for the company to refocus on quality and service if they plan to reopen elsewhere in the future.

Good food, but unclear communication on specials We came in after receiving an email advertising a meal special: Burger, Bottomless Side, and Bottomless Beverage starting at $9.99. Arrived at lunchtime, were seated promptly, and I pointed directly to the small menu on the table when ordering. My son—wanted a plain cheeseburger, fries &a soda. I asked for a turkey burger instead of beef, and confirmed with our server that if I ordered a beer it would be $3.99 with the special. She nodded yes. The food was good, but when the bill came, it was over $43. My son’s burger was $14 plus a soda charge, my beer was $5.79, and my burger was $16. When I asked why, the server said we ordered “regular burgers,” not the special burger that comes with 2 thin beef patties. I had no idea there was a difference and was never told when ordering. I had pointed right at the menu with the special, but she never corrected me. She shrugged and walked away, and with the restaurant now busy, no one followed up. I feel it’s the staff’s responsibility to clarify the details of a promotion when the customer specifically points to it. Luckily, we could pay, but it was frustrating to be charged so much more than expected. Good food, poor communication, and a missed opportunity for better customer service.

This past Saturday, our baseball team stopped in at 7 West Taphouse, and we were genuinely blown away by the experience. Traveling with a big group of kids isn’t always easy, but from the moment we walked in, we felt taken care of. Our server was absolutely incredible. She was kind, patient, and so thoughtful — constantly checking in to make sure drinks were full and everyone had what they needed. She even helped us organize our orders by the boys’ jersey numbers, which made things so much easier for our team. It may seem like a small gesture, but it made a big difference. The food was amazing, and the atmosphere was perfect for our group. It’s not often you find a place that’s both fun and family-friendly, but 7 West nailed it. We’re so thankful for the warm hospitality and great service. It turned what could’ve been just a quick team meal into a special memory. We’ll definitely be back the next time we’re in town.

Food was tasty and the restaurant theme was charming. Waiter was very attentive and prices were affordable. Parking was a bit of a challenge, but I'm coming from a small town and not used to walking too far to get to where I want to go. My main complaint is that the restaurant did not meet my cleanliness standards. The floor was sticky and bathrooms were not up to par. In their defense, they seemed to be undergoing an internal remodel. I would give them another try, but my husband would not.

Sawatdee Thai Restaurant St.Cloud is a well-established local chain that offers a diverse selection of authentic Thai dishes. Some branches even provide lunch buffets. The cuisine provided is outstanding, with perfectly seasoned meals that are prepared by the friendly and courteous hostess and chef. One customer highly recommends their Pad Thai with pork, which was exceptionally delicious. They also appreciate the heat rating system, usually opting for a moderate level to enhance flavor without overwhelming spiciness.
The staff are friendly. The store is quite clean. Lots of seats of the restaurant. Meanwhile they don’t have pho anymore. All the pho in St Cloud are too sweet. The authentic pho won’t have calories that much from the sugar in the soup. The Tum Yum Soup is just fine, best thing is they have tofu. No bad thing for the restaurant and all they people are kind. I have to give full stars. The food is not awe full but also not attractive.

If you want to try authentic Thai food, this place is fantastic! The beef curry was amazing which definitely tasted homemade to me. The chicken laab was good however, I did notice that there were a bunch of onions in there was wasn't expected, I would have preferred just a bit more meat. The papaya salad was mediocre however, didn't have every much going on for me so I didn't care too much for it. The pad Thai was more of a sweeter dish than other pad Thai's that I've tried which I actually really enjoyed. The fried rice was great especially throwing curry on top of it. Our server was friendly however, our entire time there, even though it wasn't very busy, we had only gotten our drinks refilled once which was not very pleasing as the food did have a good kick to is as well as having good portions of salt causing thirst. Overall, the experience was above average and I definitely will go again if I'm in the mood for Thai food!

Not a bad place. We were seated right away once we entered. The first dish I ordered was the Panaeng beef curry. I ordered with the spiciest they could make it. The green peppers were the main spice but sadly they only add chili powder that is not spicy at all. So I would say this is American level spicy which is spicy like red pepper flakes. Second I ordered the pad Thai with beef. The portion is great but sadly the protein portion is not that great. There were like 5 thin pieces of beef in there. I wish they could give more beef because noodles & Co gives the same portion with a whole top layer of the bowl of protein for the same price. I like that it was very saucy though. Sadly for a Thai restaurant, the food is catered towards the American community. So do not expect anything to actually be spicy. Overall, great staff and food. I would definitely go for a few more visits to try the rest of the menu.

Great food and perfectly seasoned dishes. Both the hostess and chef are polite and have warming personalities. I ordered the Pad Thai with pork and it was very very good. For the heat rating I usually get 3 out of 5. Which is typically just enough heat to give you more flavor with out it being to over whelming that lead to bites of food between sips of milk.

We have experienced this Bonanza over a dozen times and while we always found our food and the buffet average, this is not true with our recent visit. We got the chicken fried steak and it came out cold and the gravy cold and hard. My sirloin was fine but my baked potato was hard. The buffet was not so good with less choices and some of them overcooked. Perhaps their highest rating was their service. They did check on us often with drink refills. The most disappointing was the price tag. They are now too high and we can get a much better steak for only a few dollars more at Texas Roadhouse.

First time ever going. Decently priced. Didn't know we had to order steaks or chicken beforehand so that was kind of weird. Just ordered salad bars which was okay, we found enough to fill up on plus dessert bar. The manager was nice to check on us after he checked all the other tables. I feel like serving staff could have been a little bit more pleasant and more knowledgeable about things. Overall it was satisfying I guess.

Did you get the memo? The new hours are reduced to 11-4 so keep note. The lunch buffet is $12.49 - a pretty good deal. The staff is very friendly and attentive to refills(pepsi products). The peanut butter bars hit the spot after a couple trips to the salad bar. Would definitely come back again.

First of all I want to start by saying I felt very uncomfortable. I walked into the restaurant being the only black person there(which is understandable) but to be stared at like was unnecessary. Even as I continued to get seated by the waiter, still received discomfited glares and stares. Secondly, the food was under-seasoned, burnt, or inedible. The chicken was under seasoned and over cooked, the potato wedges were burnt and inedible, and the ground beef for the tacos were over cooked, mushy, and under-seasoned. The only thing I can say I took into account was the mac and cheese and steamed broccoli. Don’t Recommend.

They even offered extra cheese sauce on the side. Bingo! Can't forget that salad bar either. So many options and it was all fresh. What a Bonanza!

The food was okay. It was expensive for the quality of the food. We had a little one that only wanted a piece of fruit, I asked to pay for like a side since she was not having anything else, there response was if you sit you have to pay. So we paid almost $7 for one piece of fruit. So make sure everyone in your group is hungry, you can't sit and visit and just have a cup of coffee or dessert. I just thought the service and the food was just okay. I wouldn't rave about it, and it won't be our first choice for a place to eat.

Dined in for the All You Can Eat wings. Restaurant was clean with plenty of parking outside, and seating inside. Allison was an awesome waitress. Super attentive without being “annoying” which made the experience that much better. It’s very nice to have someone bring you items like water before you run out and need to ask or wave someone down. Wings were great with little wait time. Highly recommend!

Tried ordering through the app—only to find it had the functionality of a potato. It wouldn’t let us place a simple takeout order. So we called, confirmed they did have what we wanted in stock, and asked if they'd match the app price. The manager hit us with a hard “no,” which was bold for a place whose core product is wings and apologies. We pivoted like seasoned veterans of underwhelming service and ordered something else. And that’s where the real fun began. Our takeout order came with more things missing than a ‘90s Blockbuster Store on Friday Night: No fries for my wife’s wrap No blue cheese cups No carrots or celery No sauce for the tenders No drink Basically, we ordered a meal and got a scavenger hunt. When we went back in to retrieve the missing items, we were met with less emotion than a robot in sleep mode. No greeting, no apology, no hint of “Hey, we messed up.” Just pure, unfiltered indifference. And the wings? I don’t even know where to begin. They weren’t tossed in sauce—they were squirted. It looked like someone filled a ketchup bottle with buffalo sauce and gave each wing a lazy drizzle. If I wanted to dunk my own wings, I’d have gone to McDonald’s and saved myself the time, money, and shattered hope. Seriously sad... but, unfortunately, right on brand these days.

Super busy place and staff were running around trying to keep up and doing a great job at it. It was clearly busy and I was impressed with how calm and attentive our bartender/server was while we were there! I kept my receipt so I could share a review and thank you to Shanna that took care of our table. Thank you for being awesome and staying calm and keeping a smile on your face!

I come here every Tuesday for BOGO and Shanna always takes great care of us. Service is fast, drinks are on point, and she makes the whole experience solid every time. She’s the reason I keep coming back.

I never tend to write reviews but I’ve never had a restaurant experience this bad. Walked in and had to flag someone down in order to get seated. Waiter helped someone who got in after us before seating us. Table was dirty and had to wait a while for it to be cleaned. Ordered drinks and they forgot to bring them until reminded, put in orders wrong that we got charged for. Ordered regular wings not expecting them to be spicy and ended up with something so spicy I got a pretty bad stomach ache. Asked the waiter if it could be fixed and they refused saying they put the wings down as the spicy ones without asking. Then also forgot my fries. There were maybe five other people there so they cant use being busy as an excuse. First time at buffalo wild wings and will never be going back. Huge waste of money and time.

Trash. Decent food, and friendly employees, but BWW customer service refuses to credit you for mistakes that they made in your order. Spent several days back and forth with customer service who forgot that customer service is supposed to be customer service. Miserable. Spend your money somewhere else. The food is good but you can eat just as good elsewhere and get treated like you're actually valued. Avoid.

Whenever we go there is no host up front and no sign indicating if we need to seat ourselves. There’s no greeting from anyone for multiple minutes. On multiple occasions. We went in on 9/10 at around 8:40pm and we were informed that seating is only at the bar. How can I enjoy a full meal at the bar, why would it matter where I sit?

Had the Southern Chicken sandwich & fries. Both were very good. We had a big group but our wait staff was very efficient & friendly. We received the food in a timely manner. The only thing that was off-putting and tacky was another wait staff was wearing a political shirt. Not sure why any business would allow something like that cuz it could drive customers away.

Great Dragon Buffet is a bustling eatery that offers a wide selection of traditional Chinese dishes in a cozy setting. The food and service are generally commendable, with flavors that are delicious and satisfying. Occasionally, the cook may be heavy-handed with cinnamon in all the recipes. This restaurant used to be frequented by the person's girlfriend when they lived in St. Cloud, where they could enjoy two buffets along with drinks for just $27, which is quite reasonable these days.
The Great Dragon Buffet in downtown St. Cloud is a hidden gem! The buffet is not only clean and well-maintained, but it's also incredibly affordable. The variety of delicious Chinese dishes makes every visit a treat. What truly stood out, though, was the amazing hostess—her warmth and welcoming attitude really made the experience unforgettable. If you're looking for a fantastic, casual meal with a side of excellent service, this place is a must-visit!

The food wasn't bad but it wasn’t fresh like most places would be. The restaurant was clean and quiet but it was kind of awkward just to eat with my husband and son. I’m not the type of person to waste food but this time I did because I found a piece of hair in my food and it wasn’t MINE. I know what my hair looks like and the hair I found definitely wasn’t mine. Maybe I’ll try the food again since it was my first time being here so I’ll give it a second chance but if I find food in my hair again then I’m not coming here again.

I do not recommend this establishment. I should have left when they had me paying at the door! They removed desserts 40 minutes before close with eating customers inside. Food was barely filled in the trays and tasted pretty mediocre. Customer was begging for more egg rolls to be put out and they said there were none 30 mins to close. They didn’t put out enough for 3 tables of customers. Their service was horrible. Everyone in the restaurant was getting their drinks refilled besides me until the very end. What was suppose to be a fun outing with my daughter ended up sour because this establishment didn’t meet my bare minimum expectations. I do not recommend this place, there are plenty of better buffets in town!

me and my friend have been going to this location for years— it has always been a wonderful experience, nice staff, delicious food, lovely atmosphere. but something about it today was not right AT ALL. we got to-go, and we ordered what we normally do, the crab wontons, egg rolls, vegetable lo mein, general tso chicken, and a few other things. we enjoyed our first box of the wontons mixed with the sugar donuts, and then we opened the second one and filled our plates, we already were weary about it because they substituted the lo mein noodles for fettuccine and it didn’t look the greatest but we wanted to try. i had rice and general tso and it tasted great— but my friend bit into her egg roll and immediately knew something was wrong with it, she had to spit it out and actually ended up throwing up. as she got up to puke i opened up the second egg roll and it did not look like it should’ve, the meat was red looking and it did not smell good at all, like it had some sort of stench, and after my friend was able to compose herself she explained that it tasted absolutely rancid. the rest of the food was pretty bland except for the wontons, broccoli, general tso chicken, and the sauces. for the first time in YEARS this is the first time we’ve had a terrible experience with them, and it’s crazy because just a few weeks ago we went there and it was great! and the noodles were actually lo mein noodles. this experience was enough to make us not really want to come back, and if we do it won’t be for a long while

Japanese restaurant
Hajime St.Cloud is a trendy Japanese establishment that boasts a well-stocked bar, featuring specialty rolls, traditional dishes, and happy hour specials. Customers have been consistently impressed by the high quality of both the food and service. With an extensive menu including various sushi rolls and appetizers such as calamari and beef negimaki, there are options to cater to every taste. The noodle bowls have also received great acclaim. Additionally, patrons can indulge in interesting and delicious house cocktails.
Our waitresses was friendly and the food was excellent. My only complaint was the guy up front seating people. He wasn't very welcoming upon entering, just asked how many people, and pointed at the table, walked over with the menu, and walked back up to the front . We travel a lot. Love to eat and try new restaurants/foods, so we like to feel welcomed when entering. It sets the atmosphere.

I eat here quite frequently and have never had a bad experience. The waitresses are always very friendly and timely. The food is amazing. It’s the freshest sushi in town by far. It doesn’t matter if I’m getting a put on, shrimp, tempura, or chicken fried rice. Everything is fresh authentic, and delicious every time.

Hajime Asian Bistro has so much potential. The interior is beautifully designed and the light background music adds a calm, welcoming vibe. It really sets the stage for what could be a fantastic dining experience. The sushi is truly excellent. Some of the best in central Minnesota, hands down. Everything was fresh, well-prepared, and artfully presented. You can tell the kitchen staff takes real pride in their work. Unfortunately, the service was a major letdown. The servers felt disengaged and uninterested, like they didn’t want to be there. While they were polite enough, the lack of enthusiasm and warmth made the whole experience feel awkward and impersonal. It’s hard to enjoy an otherwise great meal when the energy in the room feels indifferent at best. Hajime could be a top-tier spot if the service matched the quality of the food and environment. Until then, it’s hard to recommend dining in, takeout might be the better option.

Their happy hour deal is honestly a bargain for the quality offered. Plus, their 3-roll combo is affordable and diverse enough to satisfy most cravings. The range offered is surprising for such a small place, and the staff are all kind. The atmosphere is good for a family setting by day, date vibes by night. Works for business meetings too as they have a more secluded area.

Definitely take advantage of the happy hour here. From the rolls and drinks, they're all at a cheap price and quality of the food is still excellent. You cannot skip on this place! Sabel our server, was so polite and professional. Atmosphere is great, perfect for a casual place with amazing food. I got a rail from for myself and a chardonnay for my wife both $5 each for happy hour. Will definitely come again when I'm in St. Cloud. Please give this local place a shot, you will not be disappointed!!

Recommended to me by someone at my job, I finally got the chance, as I was in town for an appointment. I couldn't have been happier!! The food, my server, and atmosphere were all excellent !! I cannot afford the same bill each time, but I will be coming back once a month after my appointments, and trying something new each time!

My niece wanted to eat here one last time as a graduate at St. Ben’s. She enjoys the Hibachi and Crunchy roll. The wait wasn’t long but staff were confused on setting up a table of 6. We eventually sat down but before we could order we were asked to move which was awkward. Service was good and our waiter was quick. The $9.50 for three pieces of Shrimp tempura was not worth it and the Yakisoba didn’t have much flavor. It didn’t seem to have much sauce and the noodles seemed too thin. However two of the sushi was good. We enjoyed the Anchors Tattoo roll and crunchy roll. Overall it’s only decent.

The restaurant is known for its baked goods and breakfast options, making it a popular choice for brunch with the family. Despite being busy at times, the serving staff is attentive and friendly, ensuring a pleasant dining experience. Customers appreciate the warm and welcoming service provided by the team.
Todays my birthday! 🎉 they didn’t sing to me. 🙃I celebrated with my family here. We dined in for brunch. The food was great. It took some time but it was fresh. I liked our waitresses. One was training the other. I overheard them about the policy when it comes to tips on cards. I’ll remember to always bring cash so that they can get their full tip. My favorite part was my daughter asking about living a tip for Saint Jude and the cashier explained it’s to help children who aren’t feeling their best. That was the best explanation. I also like the waitress that engaged with my table even though she wasn’t waiting on us.

I always enjoy eating at this Perkins. The location is convenient and there's plenty of parking. The staff greets you by the door with a smile, and no matter which server I've gotten they are friendly and helpful. Plus the food is consistently delicious, and is very attractively served. So last time I was there I even took photos of our entrees, before we started.

Food was okay, but service definitely needed work. We were greeted and seated right away by our waitress. She took our drink order and brought it right away. We weren't quite ready, still looking through the menu as it has been a while since we've eaten there and there were some new items. Took almost an hour to come back to our table to take our order. She repeatedly stopped at every other table in the section and would walk away before getting to our table. I'm not sure if it was because we were at the end, or she got distracted and forgot to check up on us. People who came after us both ordered and got their food before our order was even taken. Once we got the food it was fine, no issues. Same as any Perkins I have been to before. Perkins is usually pretty consistent with that, but the service to me was odd. She dropped the check off when she dropped the food off. She came back once to refill drinks, but otherwise never check up on us or talked to us despite stopping at other tables multiple times. I don't need a babysitter, but at least having some service faster than that or getting checked up on if we need refills or something would have been nice. I wasn't expecting breakfast to take and hour and a half. Not sure what was off that day. For future, I will probably just order something right away and not bother reading the menu or trying new items.

Terrible food and extremely small portions for the price. I ordered eggs and hash browns, and the portion was tiny—barely enough to fill the plate. The food felt cheap and poorly prepared, and it’s a huge disappointment compared to what Perkins used to be. Not worth your money.

D & K Express is a cozy spot that serves up beloved Chinese classics, from sesame chicken to fried rice, and even offers the convenience of a drive-thru. While the building may show its age and lack some aesthetic appeal, the real star here is undoubtedly the food. Diners rave about how everything is freshly made by hand, resulting in crispy fried dishes that stand out from typical buffet offerings.
This may be my favorite American-style Chinese place in town. It’s ugly, dated, and the building is in poor repair, but the food is excellent, the prices are amazing, and the service is great. Everything is made fresh and obviously by hand, the fried food is crispy hot, unlike a buffet or a less capable restaurant. The fried rice, which comes with every meal, is a strange red color, but the flavor profile is excellent, and it has a fantastic texture. My personal favorite has to be the lemon chicken so far, but I expect that will change as I sample more of the menu.
Eric D — Google review
I ordered the Mongolian chicken, sesame chicken, and the d and k fried rice. I would say the star of this was the D and K fried rice. The chicken dishes tasted really odd and just was not good for me. The sesame chicken sauce was just really weird and the chicken was mushy. The fried rice though was amazing and I got the maximum spice level. Perfect spice and delicious. I do not think I will ever try anything else here again besides the fried rice. Would I ever come back here though? Maybe if I crave a spicy fried rice. Either then that, I do not think I will ever come back.

I ordered from Dk express when I got home with my food I opened it up and took a bite and encased in the breading was a piece of metal. I will never come back there ever again. I would check every piece of food before eating.!

Spent $8 in upcharges for soy sauce flavored steamed noodles they passed off as "lo mein". (See photo, not a single vegetable!) The chicken was gummy too; it's like the breading was allowed to get soggy after being sauced. Very disappointing, and I now understand the need for a sign stating "All Sales Final". If I could have gotten a refund I would have!

I ordered their mandarin chicken, panda wontons, and hot and sour soup for delivery. Here's the review: *Mandarin Chicken, good, good sauce & veggies altough chicken is breaded👍 *Bad rice-(tasted & looked like bad Mexican rice)👎 *Panda wontons- nothing special about them😐 *Hot and Sour soup Good 👍 best of the meal *Price with the delivery $28.90 👎👎 : The meal with tax where I live comes out to $18.97, they charge $5.0 for delivery (on their web page). When they deliver, they also have a thing in their payment app to leave a tip so I left $3.0. You see the problem here? on top of all money for that for 1 meal they over charged $2.0. In these times that hurts. I give it a D for this review since overcharging is a fail in my reviews, but they did reach out to me to check on this, however they refused to credit my card the extra charge, they can only refund the $2.0 if I show up in the store! Inconvenience on top of inconvenience. For those $28.90 I could have goten 2 meals delivered from other asian food places.
