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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

This was a great little place. We got 3 smalls and 1 dinner. The walley dumplings were amazing. Best dish we had. Sauce is buttery and slight acidity. Soooooo good. No fishy taste, sweet potato was mild and just left hint of sweet to balance flavors as well as hint of pepper flakes. Duck was well cooked on a wonton chip, this was not great. It was heavy, which duck is so that was expected, however it needed more greens to cut the fattiness of this dish. Something to brighten it up. Also it was heavy in Chinese 5 spice, which I do not love and that ended up being the predominant flavor which left the rest of the flavors lost behind that. The empanada was great. Another great plate, gooey cheese with tender meat, nice mango chutney was crispy and not heavy, so it was fried right. Would get this again as well. Finally got blackened scallops. These were good. Not great. We enjoy scallops, cook and order often. These were cooked perfect. The reduction sauce was delicious and worth dipping in. We subbed out risotto over noodles which was good. Made well. Not something I would say stood out at all though. Good plate, but would not remember it later unlike the walley dumplings which are now in my dreams. Dessert we got the Chocolate Truffle Cake. Now I do not love chocolate cakes, if you do this is worth getting. The texture shows the amazing skill the chef has because it was light and melt in your mouth without hitting the cake texture nor did it hit the density of a fudgy brownie. Simply perfect texture and again if u are a chocolate person get it! I would love to replicate this dish simply to learn how to make it so delicate.

The food and staff here are amazing. I brought my guy here for his birthday and we had to go back again the next night because we did not want to eat anywhere else. The Surf, Surf, and Turf special, fried chicken, and walleye tots were some of our favorites. Jackie really knows how to create a beautiful dining experience. This place will be unforgettable and always a must when visiting Stillwater.

This is a great place to go and try something new. Their fusion plates are great. The service is also very good. We went with my toddler and right the way the server offer us a fruit cup for the baby. They know their business there.

Wonderful restaurant. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed dinner celebrating our anniversary. We ordered from the special menu and the dishes were superb - beautifully plated, well balanced flavors, need nicely portioned & cooked to perfection. Our waitress was knowledgeable, friendly and attentive. Good drink menu. All around impressed. Thank you

Ordered the scallops and pasta chicken primavera. Chicken was freshly grilled but the scallops were perhaps a tad under cooked. Excellent staff and really good cocktails. Bruschetta was amazing - would recommend as an excellent app.

I made a reservation ahead of time because I had planned a special meal with my wife. We arrived on time and our table was ready. We ordered the bruschetta, a couple of entrees, and drinks. My wife ordered the Gray Goose Martini and I ordered a local brew IPA. Portions were large on all (even the drinks!) and the staff went out of their way to accommodate us. We can't wait to go back!

My husband I went here last night for dinner. We had the pecan chicken and the sirloin and it was very delicious. The service was great and they were quick to answer any questions about the menu. We would definitely eat here again!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Came in for dinner a few weeks ago and had a great experience. Our server was super friendly, helpful, and attentive. The scallops were perfectly seared, the duck breast was full of flavor, and the capellini was solid. I would also recommend the panna cotta for dessert.

I could not have been more elated to celebrate my birthday at this fabulous five-star venue! Owner Aleks was beyond gracious in sharing a seat, generous time, and a fabulous bottle of bubbles with our dinner party. Server Savannah was delightful and on point with stellar service. The charcuterie and French Billecart Salmon champagne were delectable starters; and the halibut and beef tenderloin paired perfectly with Nappa Valley's Stags Leap District Pine Ridge wine...just simply divine! I aspire to be a returning patron for this great one!

We stopped here on a whim and couldn’t have been more impressed! Literally one of the best shrimp and grits i have ever had in my entire life! Accompanied with a spectacular wine recommendation and an impeccable sea bass for my boyfriend. Service was perfect- very friendly and welcoming. If we lived here, this would be our spot!

Shrimp and grits OMG top five favor meals I’ve had So good Stop in for wine and dinner and you will not be disappointed

We have had dinner at Domacin many many many times, too many count. We have also had our large company party there at least 12 times. Every single time the experience has been phenomenal. Great professional staff, delicious food, great wine selection and wonderful ambience. Couldn’t be better and now they have a new space connected to the restaurant and the wine shop. A beautiful lounge bar experience where you can taste unique wines get small bites and relax with friends. I always highly recommend this restaurant.

Very relaxing place to explore some wine and food. We had only done apps and wine 🍷 until recently. Dinner did not disappoint. We were celebrating 🍾 a birthday 🎂 so we were a little excessive. Ordered a cheese board and a bottle of Tempranillo 🍷 to start. Then, eased into a wild rice duck soup. Then, had salmon for the main course on a bed of sweet potatoes. Closed with a little chocolate babycakr with vanilla gelato and some dessert wine 🍷. I'm sure we will be back again and will share more!

What an amazing find! We decided to have a staycation from the west metro and found this place after not being able to find a proper steak restaurant anywhere in Stillwater. It was a concession that turned into an incredible find. We had the sea bass and the fillet. The quality, seasoning and level of prep rivaled many of the nicest restaurants in the twin cities. When we come back to visit, we’re coming back here! Wine selection definitely elevated and some great options to choose from; however, the restaurant at the Crosby was this x100.
