Hamburger restaurant
Fast food restaurant
The Drive-In Restaurant is a classic spot that has been a local favorite since 1956. It offers picnic table seating and serves up delicious burgers, hot dogs, and homemade root beer floats. The menu includes options like veggie, bison, and turkey burgers as well as gluten-free bun choices. This nostalgic eatery provides high-quality food made with locally sourced ingredients such as beef, vegetables, dairy, and bread from a nearby bakery.
We had the most amazing time at Fonda Rosa animal park, planning 10 of us celebrating our grandsons 3rd birthday. The weather was unpredictable, and we just went for it. Let me tell you that the service was amazing, the food was everything you would expect from a drive in. Great! Great place, people and food. The topping was my husband and I planned to flip the bill for all., while my husband provided his military ID, it was told to us that the lady who was behind us paid our entire bill ! Are you kidding me? Brought tears to my eyes. Our bill was well over 200$ with tip. We were in awe all the way home to Monticello Mn. Thank you so much for this random act of kindness, what a beautiful memory ❤️

I came in with my husband for dinner and we had great service. The staff was very friendly and the menu was very varied. My two concerns the cheese curds were cheddar and it was not noted on the menu so my husband did not help me eat them which sucked as I didn’t want to eat them all by myself. The other issue was the cost of a pup cup was two dollars. Now two dollars isn’t that bad but when you compare it to multiple other businesses such as scooters coffee where it’s a dollar or Dairy Queen where it’s free or $.50 two dollars for one single pup cup is a lot especially if you have two dogs. My burger was very flavorful very juicy, but I did have tomato and onion added, which were an extra cost but it was about $.25 each which wasn’t bad. Overall, it is a pretty cool place and I would love to come back. I just would not get pup cups for my dogs. It would be better for me to get a full on cone get an empty cup and just take off part of my cone for them.

Busy, but so worth the wait. Got a table quickly. Service was fast and friendly. Food was delicious. Large portions. Wait staff was very friendly. Clean. Has a mini golf on property. Taylor's Falls is a busy town.

The Drive In Restaurant is a classic burger, fries, and malt spot. They have a giant spinning root beer mug that greets you immediately. They have numerous tables outdoors that have a view of a water feature as well as a mini golf course. The service workers are busy and work hard to support you. I was able to taste a bacon cheeseburger and fries, as well as a strawberry malt. I really enjoyed the bacon on the cheeseburger and the fluffy bun. The fries could use some more seasoning to make them more enjoyable.
Andrew A — Google review
I had a root beer float and crinkle fries because I read about how famous their root beer is. The root beer is made in house and it's really really good. Possibly the best root beer I've ever had. The atmosphere was very cute and retro, and there's a counter and some picnic tables you can sit at if you don't want to eat in your car. They were very busy when I was there, and I imagine they're like that all summer.

It took around 15 minutes or so before we got any water after being seated, but everyone was hustling, and when the waitress came for our order, she was very nice and accommodating to our kids. The food is pretty average, but the environment was nice. My wife enjoyed her burger, but my son and I didn't care for the taste of the meat. I can't quite place what it was, seasoning maybe, but I didn't like the flavor. We also had the cheese curds, which were good. The malts were excellent and I enjoyed the homemade rootbeer, I just wished it came in one of those frosty mugs ;) Another perk was if you got a kids meal, you got a 2 for 1 on minigolf! Also, be aware that if you're using a credit card, there is a 4.9% fee.

What a great place! We stopped here after a hike at the Wisconsin interstate Trail. I've never been here and wasn't sure about stopping cause they were sooo busy (there was going to be a parade we didn't know about) and we all worked up a hunger on our hike. Anyway, the service and the food was AWESOME 😎!!! We had to wait for a table (about 10 minutes) and then we were given menus and our order was taken right away. We didn't wait long for our food considering how busy they were, about 15-20 minutes. The food was 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟+ We definitely didn't leave hungry and the price was fitting for the service and food. I'll definitely be going back when I get a chance. Also, we didn't get a chance (due to time) but I saw lots of people enjoying the mini golf they had there. Going to try that when I go back.

What a fun place! You can either drive in and get carbide service to eat in your vehicle or park on the street and walk in to the restaurant area and sit outdoors. We walked in and checked in with the hostess to get our name on the waitlist. We got there right around 5:00pm on a Sunday. We waited for about 15 minutes to be seated (party of 2 adults). Our order was taken shortly after that. Drinks came within 15 minutes or so with food just minutes later. We enjoyed the atmosphere and music. The food was excellent with juicy burgers and unique root beer. The staff work hard to keep customer service moving quickly.

Ice cream shop

Schoony's Malt Shop and Pizzeria is a beloved spot in Taylors Falls, offering approximately 30 ice cream flavors and classic root beer floats. Visitors can relax on the sunny patio while enjoying their favorite treats. The town itself has plenty to offer, from small-town Christmas festivals to summer events like Wannigan days. For outdoor enthusiasts, there's an outdoor recreation area nearby, perfect for all seasons.
What a cute, nostalgic place! From the moment you walk in, it takes you back. There are phenomenal ice cream flavors and ice cold cane sugar sodas and other beverages. With pinball machines and a lovely outdoor patio, this place has everything!

Stopped in for a cool treat on a warm day. The buildings footprint dates back to 1903 and the nostalgia of the decades past is evident in every corner. There are several receivers and record players behind the bar. Some slow jazz played while the pinball machines binged and flapped. A huge selection of ice cream flavors, but I went with the root beer float. My husband got the hot fudge brownie malt. Highly recommend stopping in.

We just got ice cream when we came here, and it was generous portions, but the atmosphere was amazing! It's so cute and there are lots of quarter machines and a few pin ball machines and some little rides for 6y/o and younger. I will definitely be bringing my girls here again, mabey grab some actual food too.
Bethany R — Google review
Disappointing. Malts are generously sized but the smallest one is $9.50 + $1.00 credit card charge PLUS tip. That's a lot for a malt. The malt tasted good, but it was grainy from too much malt powder. The outdoor seating area was dirty and completely overgrown. Not enough shade, tables need repaint, outdoor area needs weed whacking and landscaping. Also no bathrooms. I wanted to love this place, and I may come back, but I was disappointed.
Moses B — Google review
We were not impressed with this place. The cheese pizza slices were below average and tasted like they had been sitting there for a while. And although the slices were big, their quality did not justify the price. The malts we had were alright, but they only came in a large size, which was too much. We were also not fans of the decor. I understand it’s meant to feel and look vintage, which is not our style, but if you’re into that, you may enjoy the interior decorations. Finally, the hours of operation differed from what we saw on Google Maps. We could not find a website or phone number to confirm the hours. In my opinion, pretty much every business should have a site and number this day and age that a customer can easily look up.

What a great little place that's very busy. I had a banana milkshake that almost tasted like banana pudding it was so rich. Best one I have had in years. There were only two gentlemen working but they had a system and they got through the line quickly. What a great little find on my adventure.

If you are in the area for an old school feel of a malt/soda shop, this is the place to stop. Multiple flavors of ice cream and employees were very helpful right away.

This is a great relaxing boat tour. From the moment of arrival we were greeted with friendliness. During the boat tour the narrator has some good jokes and bits of historical information. We saw a beautiful bald eagle - which,apparently, is common to see in this area. If you're coming up this way, it's a great boat tour to join. We would do this boat tour again.

Bring a jacket and warm clothes. The tour is great, especially in the fall. The boat is roomy and has a bar. There is a small set of bathrooms, if needed. The staff is good. Parking is a little strange, but not hard to figure out. We recommend this tour! A fun way to see the river side of both Wisc and MN, cliffs and dalles.

I had always driven past this place as a kid and always wanted to stop and try it out. Now with my family we finally went it was a great experience. With young kids, I wanted to find something they would love and our two year old LOVED it! There is great seating on the lower deck that is enclosed or on the open upper deck. We went on a Sunday in early June which was a great choice so it was not too busy. There is plenty of space to walk around on the two decks to see all the views so there you’re not out of luck if you don’t get a good seat. A staff remember commentated parts of the trip was great to learn about the interesting landmarks and history of the area. Great experience!

Really hard to rate the entire Scenic Riverway because it is so vastly long. But the sections I have been to are outstanding. There are numerous state parks and state forests on both sides of the river accompanying the federal land along the river.

First off, if I could give all the stars to our waitress I would! She was beyond one of the best I've ever encountered. She was patient, friendly, attentive, and really has your best interest at heart! I will go back just for the service! The food was good. My 6 year old nephew LOVED being able to make his own PB&J sandwich. The fries were great! The chicken Philly was great! The mash was a little gummy, but I just ate some fries! The fries are top notch! Green beans were crisp and not greasy. They have some options for kids to eat free, which saves on the wallet! Can't wait to go back!

We stopped for drinks. I don't drink alcohol anymore, so while my boyfriend had his beer, I had a fruity mocktail called a 'Frickin' Awesome'. I can't remember exactly what was in it. Cherries and Starry and a couple of other ingredients, but it's so nice to be able to have a special drink when we go out instead of the same old pop I drink at home.

Almost missed this place—it’s tucked in the corner with a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it sign! Stopped in for takeout and ordered an 11” Spicy Pig pizza and a half order of garlic wings. Staff was friendly and quick—my order was out in about 15 minutes. Wings were just okay—cooked well but light on flavor, and I only got drums 😩. Giving those a 3/5, but I’ll try a different flavor next time. Now the Spicy Pig? 5 stars, easy. Super cheesy (in the best way), brick oven crust with a nice char, and a spicy kick from fresh jalapeños and habanero. Loaded with sausage, bacon, and cheddar—total flavor bomb. Not many spots around here, but this one’s officially my go-to for pizza!

My experience here I'd say has Improved from my last visit! The staff are really friendly, great cozy atmosphere, service was quick. The food selection was aplenty, but I'd say the food was okay. The crust was probably my biggest complaint for not really keeping its structure with the toppings on top. But overall, I loved the experience and the food I would say was acceptable with some minor adjustments.

The food was very mid. Even though the sauce on the wings were good, the chicken was cold in the middle, but it was cooked through, meaning, they likely reheated them in a microwave and then put sauce on them. Extremely disappointing. The up side is that the atmosphere and employees are nice! Though, the employees should work on food safety more. If they don't reheat chicken the. That would mean they gave uncooked chicken, which I could have gotten very ill from.

Unexpected and great find! I was staying at hotel nearby and just hoping to find a quick dinner to go so went to nearest restaurant. The smells are amazing with the brick fired chicken and pizza. Menu had creative and interesting flavors. Loved the atmosphere! I got the bone in maple bourbon wings. They were extremely flavorful but not overpowering or too spicy. They were juicy yet crispy. The pizza was amazing! Got summer time 6" pizza with the most amazing! Loved the teriyaki sauce, chicken, balsamic drizzle and cilantro. I would highly recommend!

Wow! I didn’t know pizza could be this good! Truly an explosion of flavors in your mouth and the most perfect crust. The man that took our order was patient and kind. He took my inquiry about dough ingredients seriously and a woman even brought out the box for me to check for myself as I can’t eat enriched flour. That made my day!

Barbecue restaurant
Sir Smoke A Lot's BBQ Barn is a restaurant in Saint Croix Falls known for its quick service and variety of food and drinks. The taste of the food can be hit or miss, with some dishes being fishy or lacking smoke flavor. However, they offer a flavorful brisket sandwich with delicious BBQ sauce. The sides are basic and not made in-house, except for the corn Bread Muffins.
Stopped by on a Saturday night before a comedy show at the restored Historic Auditorium and we were pleased with our choice! Many items were no longer available @5:45 or so when we arrived, so I'd recommend coming earlier if possible. We had the 6 rib combo with cheesy mashed potatoes and coleslaw. The ribs were amazing and didn't need any sauce - we never even reached for it. The coleslaw tasted fresh and what's not to like with cheese on anything as far as the potatoes went. Pay with cash to save 4%! Overall it was a good experience, with friendly staff and the food arrived very quickly. Cute decor too!

Excellent ribs at Sir Smoke A Lot's BBQ. I had lunch here today for the first time, and they have some of the best ribs I have ever had. Fantastic bark and a very tasty smoke flavor. The BBQ sauce that came on the side was some of the best house made sauce I've had. Coleslaw and smoked mac n cheese sides were great as well. Great customer service. They have tap beer too

Showed up at 4:50 pm for brisket and chicken tenders with my family (wife, aunt, son, grandma) to find out they have no brisket and no chicken tenders. First time coming here so that's a major disappointment to say the least..... As far as the food, well.... Ribs lacked flavor and they were dry and thin, my grandma claimed her chicken was also dry. My macaroni and cheese was bland and flavorless as well. Also pay in cash so you can avoid the 4% credit/debit card transaction fee. Also want to mention that the banana 🍌 pudding was honestly really good. Mac and cheese want able to be finished either. My aunt spit it out.

Really good barbecue. I had a pulled pork sandwich and it came piled high with excellent pulled pork. It was quite generous and had a great flavor. I also ordered a side of fries which were very good as well along with being a good sized portion. I saw some other customers who ordered the ribs which also looked very good. I am anxious to return and try the ribs and some of the other offerings. Prices were quite reasonable and service was prompt. Will definitely stop again on our next visit!

Went here with my family on Sept 20th to take a break during my birthday fishing trip with my family on the St.Croix, we all agreed BBQ sounded good to us so we went here. The food was delicious and what little time we had to wait we talked with the extremely friendly staff who seemed to enjoy the conversation just as we did. I had Mac and Cheese with ribs and it was delicious! Definitely a place ya gotta try if ur exploring the St.Croix

This place has the worst ribs I have ever had! I ordered a 6 piece and it was super dry and flavorless. 3 of the ribs were so thin, it was like eating jerky! The hush puppies have zero flavor, and the coleslaw tastes like you are eating a plain head of cabbage. I should have saved the $80.00 and bought pre-made ribs from the grocery store. Others in my group ordered the same ribs and were also disappointed.

If you're on the hunt for a unique burger experience, Be Wild Burgers is a must-visit destination. This outdoor eatery specializes in smash burgers that are bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection, featuring crispy edges that add an irresistible crunch. With a limited menu focused on quality over quantity, you can expect each bite to be a delightful explosion of taste.
Pictures do not do it justice! Pickle Burger was amazing! Onion rings were good. Kids hamburger and fries were fresh and delicious! Definitely stopping here again when in town. Highly recommend!

We hiked to Be Wild Burgers from the north campground at Interstate State Park. It was a quick 10-minute hike using the Ladder Tank Trail. My partner had the steak house burger with tots. I had the pickle burger. Both burgers were grilled perfectly and were tasty and juicy. The only seating is outdoors, although there was plenty of seating, and we were happy to eat outside, enjoying the sun and the views.

Outstanding smashies! Not fast food as their sign says, just fresh and tasty. Fries are great too! And if that weren’t enough already, there’s beer! Not dine-in, but there are shady (as in cool) picnic tables a plenty. Wish they were open more days and times, but I can adjust my schedule accordingly! :)

Oh my goddddddd. I would do a lot for a burger from this place, like drive over an hour after seeing someone post about the amazing smash burgers a long time ago. I finally took the time to make the drive, go hiking, stop at Franconia sculpture garden, and had an amazing day. These burgers are worth the drive and were honestly very reasonably priced. The best smash burger I’ve had in foreverrrrrr. The fried pickles were amazing too, just wow. Service was great, loved the outdoor seating in the back since it’s a walk up type place, I will definitely return during another day trip. Just heavenlyyyyyyyy.

Love the burgers from this restaurant. Locally owned and worth any potential wait. I’ll go here over the drive in any day. It would be nice to have a few vegetarian options that aren’t just a black bean burger. We make beet burgers at home as well as carrot mushroom burgers and those are delightful bean free options that might fit the be wild brand.

Excellent burgers. Spouse got the bacon cheeseburger and said the bacon actually detected from your food the burger was. I got the Burger of the Month, a spiced pork patty, and it was delicious! The staff was super nice. There is nowhere to eat inside and the restroom is a porta potty but don't let that deter you. We ate outside at tables under an awning and it was a lovely meal. Would happily stop by again.

Mushroom and Swiss Burger was juicy, homemade, and the onion rings took me back in time. Crunchy and delicious. Wait time was minimal, as everything is freshly cooked. Service was good. They only have a limited menu, no inside seating, but the food was really good.

I was pleased to find out that delivery was available to our home that is almost 7 miles away from St Croix Falls. The pizzas were delicious!!!! Lots of flavor with a good amount of toppings. Even better....the pizzas were still hot when delivered and arrived delivered 20 minutes before the anticipated time of arrival. Thank you, we will be taking advantage of your delivery service and great pizza again in the near future.

"I've tried all the pizza spots around here, and Pizza Man is hands-down the best. Perfect cheese, perfect crust, and flavor that just hits different. If you're looking for the top pizza in the area, this is it!"

Tried the new location and the pizza was really great! My first time for Pizza Man. we live in the Metro and have our pick of any pizzas, and this one was right up there! This is a takeout place and it is very bare bones. It isn't meant to have nice ambiance, so I didn't ding them on atmosphere. Friendly staff! I hung out with them for a while I waited for my order (they were on time, I had just arrived early).
