This was our first time trying Cassini's and we've lived in Cottage Grove for over 15 years! We are pretty loyal to another pizza establishment but finally decided to give Cassini's a try and I'm glad we did. Overall, the pizza was great and I love the garlic sauce that comes with it. My daughter loved the pizza too and said we should get this more often. We had called ahead to pick it up and it take longer than they said, but they also made an extra pizza by mistake and gave it to us, so we had plenty of leftovers the next day which was great! Will definitely be back.

There is nothing quite like the smooth, creamy experience of the Cottage Grove DQ. Whether a cone, frozen hot chocolate, malt, or royal treat, they never disappoint. Try my favorite Mississippi Mud Fudge Blizzard, or my other favorite Pecan Mudslide, or my other favorite...

On consecutive week day evening visits my wife and I received rude service.
Last week they charged an extra dollar for ordering a hazelnut cooler because "there wasn't a button to ring it up". I complained and both workers rolled their eyes at me. She was even rude in the interaction with my 8 year old over the 10 cent trivia question.
I spoke to the Woodbury manager who confirmed that there should be no extra charge. Also, I filled out a survey and the District manager was supposed to call me but that didn't happen.
Stupidly I came back again today. It was the same crew. I offered my perks number while ordering and she told me very rudely, "You don't have any perks". Ok, but I want the points for my purchase to which she responded "I guess". Unbelievable.
I'm done, will be going to Woodbury from now on.

It's a little weird that the staff at a SuperTarget Starbucks location do a better job of mixing a beverage than at a freestanding location.

This was our first time here with another couple on our weekly Wednesday dinner. The waitress was very friendly and helpful. The beer selection was good and prices were reasonable. $2 off for happy hour. The food was very good, steak special was tasty. We will definitely be back.

My daughter and I visited the first week it opened. The menu has interesting options, sushi burgers and more. The burgers are huge and pretty good. The fries were ok, they don't use Hy-Vee ketchup it's Heinz. The server was friendly as was the manager. The atmosphere was just ok. We would go again, but I'm not a fan of the supermarket so we may go elsewhere.

We stopped for a quick lunch. The server was great and our food was good. There was 4 of us eating and we were brought out a basket of chips and some salsa. When our food came out I asked for some additional salad for my taco salad and they said it was $1 for more salsa. Really??????

I love that they not only have great burgers, but that you can get full dinners. This is unlike a lot of other 'fast food' restaurants. I love their fish dinners, you get a lot of food for the money. And the custard is to die for!

Management continues to go our of his way to make certain he stays on top of his restaurant. I've not had food that I returned or felt a need to comment negatively on.
I have encountered wait staff issues, but brought to management and promptly corrected.
Love the home style cooking, the large, diversified menu. Something for everyone.
