1. Biaggi's Ristorante Italiano
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 292 reviews
Reviewed By Mary H - Kalamazoo, Michigan
Biaggi's was a great place to have a large table because obviously the food was VERY GOOD, but as important, the staff knew how to serve the meal to a lot of people so the food was hot! Our main server was very helpful, friendly and made our special night just that! In stead of putting large groups at the back of the restaurant, there were at least 3 large groups closest to the kitchen. There was no fear any of us were being too loud for a quiet table of 2 next to us. Too often I have been at that over-powered table of two where we couldn't have a quiet conversation.
Every choice was better than the next, and don't overlook the bacon wrapped dates! We ordered extra to take home and were so glad we did.
Next time we go to Maple Grove to visit family, this will be the Must visit restaurant.
Our 3 Celiacs and 1 Vegan all had really tasty choices.
We loved Biaggi's and the generous leftovers were enjoyed the next day while we gathered again for a traditional football game.

Our first visit. Knowing this was a pricier place, we waited for our anniversary. Our server Lisa, was very helpful & courteous. Made us feel right at home. We each ordered a filet Mignon, done to perfection. We shared a salad & hash browns. Everything was so good. She knew it was our anniversary & surprised us with a shareable red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting with a splash of strawberry sauce. We will come here again, trying some of their lunch items (like fresh sliced prime rib French dip). They made us feel special & it worked!!

We came here for dinner with another couple on Saturday night. I called ahead to make sure there was a table ready at 5:30 PM, and we got right in. Drinks appetizers and food were served promptly. I had the bison burger which was very good and my wife had the fish tacos which she also said was very good. Between the two of us we had two drinks each we split an appetizer with the other couple, We each had a entrée, and we split a dessert. The total for us with tip and tax was $90.

Reviewed By Michael S - North Mankato, Minnesota
We were excited to give Malone's a try based off of TA recommendations. Our meal was okay, certainly nothing special. Great environment and some of the food was good (BBQ ribs) but the side were bland as well as my daughter's pasta dish. The fries were also soggy and cold.
5. Original Pancake House

Pancake House is the place when hungry for a big breakfast. Great menu with all kinds of panckages, waffles, creppes, omelettes.
It is not a cheap option for sure but in restaurants in general you get what you pay
Had the Hash browns and eggs; also tried Crepes - were excellent
You must be there earlier during weekends - otherwise it gets to be long waits, 45 minutes to one hour in some cases
Definitely is worth the try in those days when you just want a nice big breakfast

Seven of us tonight for dinner and work meeting. Everything was so great. Monique had our table and was fabulous. Every person attended to all the time, all entrees hot and steaming even though we arrived at different times. There just is not anything to add. We had fish, ribeye, multiple desserts, coffee... Everything great, highly recommend. Oh, it's 7 degrees outside and here is a spot that has fireplaces in every corner. Where's the like button. Will be back, thanks Monique.

I booked a reservation on Open Table. Don’t. The web site is misleading. I thought I had booked us a high top table and we were instead on the middle of a very crowded restaurant. Not the restaurant’s fault just a cautionary tale. Friday night was a zoo so I would recommend going on another day. Service was efficient. We shared some wings and the shrimp appetizer. Note that the shrimp is a tad spicy at least for me. Husband and friend enjoyed their walleye sandwiches. Daughter in law liked her flat bread. I can recommend the prime rib sandwich. All portions are huge so we took home doggie bags. As a nice treat we got a small cookie dessert for free at it was our anniversary. A nice touch.
8. Cafe Zupas

Reviewed By jarrodpeterson - Maple Grove, Minnesota
First time at this restaurant. Clean, and very open. Huge selection of soups, salads, sandwiches. However, it was priced higher than the food quality dictated.
I wish they had a "eat three bowls of soup for X price", like Eddingtons does. Where you can get soup and breadsticks either unlimited or up to 3 so you can try a variety.
I went at 3:30 in the afternoon, so not very busy in there, and the staff was not the most helpful with my questions. Since I was my first time, I had questions and needed some help with their large menu to package the right combo together.
9. Punch Pizza
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 71 reviews
Reviewed By PKDenton - Denton, Texas
They make pizza in the traditional style with very high quality ingredients. I have never eaten a sub-par pizza here - it's always fresh and very tasty. They let you have what you want but you'll notice that the ingredients are always a step or two higher than what you are used to in the chain pizza markets. The salads are also very good with high quality ingredients.
There are not many locations for this restaurant but it's worth finding.
It's not a sit down and order place. You stand in line and order what you want and then they give you a flag and you wait for delivery which is usually quite prompt - usually 5 minutes or so.

Great Mexican food, big menu, big portions, well prepared, with endless fantastic chips and salsa. We had a party of 12 and the waiter was fantastic, so good service too. We had a variety of food from the menus and there were no complaints. Everyone liked everything they ate. I'd recommend this place and would definitely eat here again.
