This is quintessential, American cafe food. It's so good, it's possibly one of the most popular places in town. At times, people are waiting to be seated, so be sure to go early. But if you want great dessert and lots of Americana, go here. It's just off of 94 so it has a great location. Specials are also worth the price.

This is a chain of coffee shops all over Minnesota. Medium shop with 15 tables, but most of all for takeout. The shops are nicely decorated and the whole setting is very nice, furnishings and tables. Wide variety of coffees, teas, frappes, smoothies, etc. There are also sandwiches, cakes and pies. Every product of good quality. You can also buy Caribeu products like coffee mugs, cups, t-shirts, etc. Ideal to stop for a beverage when traveling through towns. Medium range prices. Recommended!

I have been here several times and although the people are friendly and seem hard-working at the service end, the place isn't very clean. We usually just go for ice-cream for that reason. It is a full DQ with all the food and a large freezer selection of cakes and treats. There is enough seating and a drive-thru. The parking lot is small, though.

Good fresh ingredients with lots of options. Choice of veggies, chicken, pork, shredded beef, ground beef or shrimp. Choose from brown or white rice, black or pinto beans and lots of other options. There were 4 of us. Two had the burrito option and 2 had the bowl. Two had grilled shrimp, one had ground beef and one the pork. Everything was good. Two different areas to sit in. One was a little loud. Goid value and good portions too.

We stopped in for a very late lunch/early dinner. The restaurant is located conveniently near the freeway and many other stores. The food was good authentic Mexican food with a large variety of options. Every one got something that they enjoyed. The inside was clean, the wait staff was nice and they had Soccer on the televisions. Nice meal.

Well, Starbucks stores inside other stores seem to be a light version. Sometimes the coffee is cooler and not as much variety. Have always had good success here. I always stop here when staying in town. In a world of crap coffee, Starbucks saves the day!

This ranks among the best Chinese food we've had. The missus had sweet-n-sour chicken with an eggroll, while I had hot and sour soup, eggroll, and Mongolian beef. Absolutely fantastic. We ate in...order at the counter, they bring it to your table. Business takes us to this area occasionally...we will definitely come back.

Gina (and whomever else runs it) has a gem of a restaurant! The food was easy to order with lots of options including traditional Asian, sushi and hibachi. My husband and I ordered the Gyoza (Japanese fried dumplings). They are similar to the traditional dumplings, but better! They came hot and with a delicious dipping sauce. Before we were done, our entree came. We shared the chicken hibachi which came with a salad with ginger dressing and a mushroom broth-based soup, both of which beat Benihana, hands down. The white meat chicken was cut into bite sized pieces, perfectly cooked along with fresh broccoli, mushrooms, onion and zucchini. We had it with fried rice, although you could select white or brown. The rice was also fresh with just enough egg, carrots, peas and onions. The prices are reasonable. The Gyoza were 4.95 for 6 and the hibachi chicken was 12.95. The two shared items were plenty for the two of us. Also, they have sushi and rolls that other people were enjoying. We'll be back for sure!

I had the 1/2 lb burger with cheese & mushrooms. It was really good. Everything on three menu ous very reasonably priced. The fries were nothing special, but not bad. They could liven it up a bit with scone fresh cut fries.
Mojitos would be a good addition to their bar menu, but at least they have a few different rums to choose from.
