“We have now ordered 3 times in about a week because the food is so good!Highly recommend the cod. It's sweet, well fried with a crispy but not greasy batter, finished with a little flake salt. The chicken wings are also quite good. I hope this place will be open for years to come, I can see us being regular customers!”

“Bowls are good but the employees are never out front and the store always looks deserted. Not sure how you attract customers without looking like the store is actually open. Id like to see the customer experience improved.”

“Celebrated 2 Birthday’s and the food was fabulous. Started with a Blooming Onion which was very good. Shrimp skewers on seasoned rice was excellent along with fresh green broccoli and a salad which I took home. Portions are big. Enough for a second meal.And a complimentary ice cream sundae. Fresh made rolls were excellent as well. Service was superb. Fun place to celebrate any occasion The other 3 people at our table enjoyed the shrimp, 6 oz filet and salmon. Will definitely be returning. Very attentive staff!”

“I decided to try this for lunch when I had to run to Apple Valley for some errands. I was not disappointed! I ordered it to go and it took about 15 minutes to get my order. I had a strawberry green tea with popping Boba, the pork ramen, and a pork bun. It really was delicious.”

“The pho broth is on the darker side and not too salty which is good. The flavor is somewhat lacking and after adding bean sprouts it became lukewarm at best. I’m not for the sliced cabbages either, but I should have skipped adding them.Great service but the radio makes the atmosphere not quite relaxing.”

“Cause it's a good, clean, responsible family type environment”

“Went here for 2 consecutive days, first had veg buffet and next day had non veg buffet. I've had Indian buffet at many different places and each will have some good and some average, but this place everything is good - both veg and non veg taste is very good and I didn't have any bloating even after trying all the dishes which is good for all..Gulabjamun, jeera samba biriyani, mutton chukka, jigarthandaa everything was good.Definitely recommend place!!!They gulabjamun was very good here unlike other Indian restaurants.Must try mutton chukka, chicken 65, jeera samba biriyani and much more.Definitely recommend places”

“We catered for our party from satay to go. They were amazing. We ordered several appetizers and main courses and everything turned out great. From the sandwiches, egg rolls, wontons to megoreng and nasigoreng. They even threw in a complimentary dessert. Great service and very collaborative. Made everything seamless. Everybody at the party loved their food. We will definitely try them again. Thank you Tan. You were wonderful to work with.”

“The store in Apple Valley was super busy around 6:15 on. Thursday night. About 15-20 people waiting when I walked in. Three employees baking and one serving. All working extremely hard and the server was very professional yet cordial. For the first time ever, the cookies just were not as good as usual. It took about 25 minutes to get my six pack. Had to wait a few extra minutes for a cookie that they were out of. Four of the cookies just seemed dried out. Not sure if there was an equipment malfunction or not, as their cookies have been consistently good. We will try again.”

“I went to meet a friend today at Apple Valley Perkins. The lot was full. I am disabled. Both senior citizen spots were filled. Three of us got there about the same time so we pulled into spots next to the senior citizen spots.One of the cashiers (long gray hair)came out throwing her arms up in the air and motioning for us to leave. I rolled down my window and she hollered, "THOSE AREN'T PARKING SPOTS!! THERE AREN'T ANY LINES!" She motions like she was making lines on the pavement The other two cars LEFT! I stayed ONLY because I was meeting a friend.SERIOUSLY? This is how you treat your customers?My friend showed up and she parked where I was going to park.The hostess was on the phone so she didn't control the parking.A while later, she came around to all the tables asking who owned the white vehicle out in the lot.We frequent Perkins a lot and have parked in those spots before with no problems.A walk from Petco is a little to much. Especially for a disabled person.”

“Seems recent changes may have happened in management and cook. Food is still good, but not the same as it used to be. They recently painted the interior walls which was overdue. Maybe they should consider replacing the flooring. I will revisit for sure as it's the closest Thai place to my house.”

“Went here last week with husband, Jim Soucek. We were looking for a new and fun place to try for lunch and found it at the Tavern! We enjoyed their sharable Pizza and will be back for more! Excited to try their Brunch!”

“I’m a DoorDash driver and went to pick up a delivery last night (about 7:30pm on 9/19). There was a sizeable line with only one woman managing the place by herself. She notified me that it would take a while to fulfill the order so I took a seat as she helped the customers. Once finished, she apologized for the delay, telling me that other drivers had been upset about waiting earlier in the day. She made the order as quick as she could and offered me something from the menu as I waited. I’d never been to a Rita’s before, but they gained a customer tonight due to this employee’s exceptional communication and customer service. I’ll be back as soon as they reopen next spring.”

“Service and waitress were outstanding. Disappointed there were no omelettes on the menu. The cinnamon rolls were great and an added bonus. Not the best pancakes..”

“Favorite Chinese Spot. The Combo Plate is an unbeatable deal and I often have leftovers. Sesame Chicken, Broccoli Beef and Lomein is my usual. Many of their side dishes are amazing as well including the donuts and teriyaki sticks. Cream Cheese Ragoons are decent. They are always friendly, quick and helpful.”

“Very good food, the chef is always trying something new which is refreshing instead of having the same items. They prevent their menu from getting stale like some many others.Stacey is amazing, not only a great bartender but she does so much more for Celts. The rest of the staff are really good too.Highly recommend”

“I absolutely LOVE El Super Taco!! Their Super Espada is amazing, along with everything else! If your in the mood for Mexican food this is definitely the place to go!!”

“The drinks made there are usually good, for the most part. Sometimes they are HOT when I ask for "not so hot" which is the only negative I can say. I would like to be able to drink my drink soon after getting it and you can't do that when it's really hot.”

“Delicious food with a good variety of choices. Presentation is a feast for the eyes. Flavors are superb.”

“If you're in the mood for a good burger, stop at the Minnesota Burger Company. The burgers were on point and the chips served with the sour cream sauce was yummy.”

“The food and service were great, but I expected more based on the prices. The atmosphere was perfect foe date night though! While I probably won't return, I would recommend my friends try it out for themselves.”

“Finally, a drive-thru Caribou in Apple Valley! Cute shop is larger than it seems from the outside. Bright, airy and open. Staff was friendly. Beverages made accurately. I have held a small group meeting there twice and they never checked us out even though we stayed until 15 minutes to close. The drive-thru is just a bit tricky with two routes through the parking lot that look like the entrance. One is for deliveries so you really do need to pay attention to the road arrows.”

I used the the rest room and on my way there she asked me if I wanted cream and sugar, i said no thank u, came out, and she said coffee was on the house, Wow! That really made my day.I thought of her and Dennys each and every sip of coffee. I live in Chan , but I will make the drive back again.Thanks a bunch. Rog”

“I usually don't write reviews, but it seems when I walk into any retail restaurant with a large order you can kind of expect employees to roll their eyes or seem annoyed that you have a large order. Eventually you get used to it. I had 3 large subs made today by Braeden (apologies if I got his name wrong). My order was a vague text message from a friend and Braeden was patient with me as I read out the order, asked questions to make sure the order was correct, referred to me as "sir", polite and prompt, and his general attitude tells me that he enjoys this job which is rare nowadays. He was the only employee there I could see and everything in the store appeared stocked and clean. Two thumbs up from me, I hope Subway treats him well.”

“Drive thru is always a hit or miss. Check your order before you leave. App usually doesn't work for member bonuses and forget about using the complaint line. They need a complaint line for that aspect of the company. If you are able to get your order filled correctly at the window, the food is always good.”

“This is the only place we go for our Chinese food! While we need to try more items, the usuals (General Tsos, Mongolian Beef, Sweet and Sour Chicken, cream cheese wontons) are hard to pass up. Give it a try!”

“they are very good with social distancing and cleanliness measures. Reliably accurate beverages, and mine can be complicated. Staff is very friendly and helpful.”

“I only ordered coffee. The iced coffee was really tasty but was in such tiny cups, like 6-8 oz with lots of ice, which is why I didn't give 5 stars. I'm not sure if there is an option for a bigger cup. The staff were friendly and everything was clean. It was really a cool place to visit, and I enjoyed checking out all the plants”
