This restaurant is a Maple Grove staple, and today was our first visit! We went in to have a beer, and discovered an amazing happy hour! Three dollar Freehouse pints and a great happy hour food menu. Service was great! Our bartender was super friendly and very attentive. We tried four different beers (which were all really good, especially the brown ale) and we got the happy hour mashed potato martini special for $3.99! We tried the lemon and wasabi aïoli version, and it was so delicious! It was served with potato chips. Our bartender said the bacon and cheddar version is more popular, but we were super happy with this one. It was not incredibly busy for a Sunday, but there were several larger groups, enjoying snacks and drinks. Definitely a happy hour I will remember and be back for! read more

I live this place and have been coming for years. So surprised that the ratings aren't higher! Food is made fresh, not that frozen stuff. Menu items are unique but not in a crazy, out there kind of way. Just a bit more creative flavors or pairings. Great happy hour with multiple times throughout the day. Happy hour tap beer is only $3. Patio is great and allows dogs. Service is always friendly. Large dining room and also seating in the bar area. read more

Met some friends here for lunch today. Pretty large place entrance is on the front of the building and the parking is in the Back. We did find the walkway that led you to the entrance. I ordered their parm crusted grilled cheese with sweet potato fries. It was good. My husband got a burger with cheese and bacon and a ranch sauce. He got the chips. He said it was very good. We had good service. We all had a nice visit. read more

I like their ambiance and the service is always friendly. We stop in for happy hour sometimes. I do wish they had a better selection for vegetarians (other than a couple of salads or fried apps). For example, I ordered the angel hair pasta and I added Wild mushrooms to give it something extra, though I wish they'd add some veggies or tomatoes or something to give it some flavors. They have some great bar food apps and drink selection. I think it's a good place in Maple Grove, but i probably wouldn't exactly put it first on my list because I feel the food is good but nothing exciting in my opinion. read more

Service was good. Very quick bringing drinks and food. I ordered the lemongrass Thai chicken. It was pretty filling. The taste was decent. Very calm and relaxing atmosphere and patio was clean and quiet read more

What a cute spot! Came here with another family with all of our kids. We chose to sit in the bar area because they had some happy hour specials and it worked out very well! Our kids loved sitting in a rounded booth. The kids meals are great - they come with your choice of main, goldfish crackers, AND fresh fruit! I really appreciate when restaurants have fresh fruit available and especially included. I really loved the honey-lime salad, filling and yummy! I also decided to try the happy hour mashed potato martini which was so decadent! read more

Met my girlfriend for dinner here tonight, I was looking forward to trying this resturant for the first time. Was very busy on a Friday night. Our server was not good. Was not around, took a long time to check in, we had to ask for refills of empty glasses and then that took forever. Ginger ale was not a refill but he didn't tell us so that was $8. Food took awhile and that's fine. The food was also fine. But fine will not get me back to a resturant again. When we were paying our bill our server said he was sorry, the hostess was new and was triple seating him so he knew he ignored us, but it wasn't on purpose. I would not recommend this resturant based on my experience and with all the options in the area I wouldn't go back. read more

Great range of comfort food and beverage choices on the menu and service with a smile. We were there during a Viking game, so quick and plentiful seating were not a problem. Very comfortable and super clean restaurant and bar. Server was very knowledgeable, attentive and friendly. Parking on the street or in the private lot was plentiful. This is a good-to comfort food spot, I'll go back anytime!!! read more

We have dined at 3 Squares at least 50 times & have been delighted every single time with the great quality and flavor of every dish! We also ordered on-line/pick-up or had our food delivered many times! Thank you all for presenting an awesome dining experience!! read more

I had the Reuben sandwich (March special). Two big slices of corned beef that were impossible to bite through so that every bit I took pulled the sandwich apart. The cheese wasn't even melted, the the $2 upgrade from chips to fries afforded me about eight french fries. Not worth it, honestly. read more

I had a lovely breakfast at 3 squares today. This was my first time dining here in quite some time. I had the eggs benedict. It was very good. The english muffin was really nice, maybe homemade? Eggs were nice are runny. Hashbrowns were nice and crispy. Our server was great as well. I'll definitely be back. read more

Food was wonderful! I had the Blackened Fish Tacos and they were incredibly tasty with just the perfect little kick. Hubby had the Steak & Pierogies and absolutely loved it. Menu had a good variety. Happy hour was advertised on the website but when we ordered and inquired about it, we were told Happy Hour is not available in the dining room--only the bar. This is the 1st restaurant I have experienced that. Most others we have visited offered happy hour in both the bar & dining room. read more

3.5/5 Had brunch here with some family and had a good experience. It was busy! Very family friendly place and bustling but we were never rushed, our waitress new we were catching up. I had the only vegan item on the brunch menu: Quinoa oatmeal. It was great! A decent portion that I could finish and tasty. It came with real cream on the side and I asked for dairy free milk which they quickly subbed. I also added on some beyond sausage which came out a little crispy but good. Our waitress wasn't super confident about dairy free creamer for coffee and if they had Jasmine tea even though it was on the menu so I just asked for tea to not be a bother (and they did have Jasmine, it was fine!) My family got banana waffles, eggs benedict and avo toast and everyone seemed pleased (except for my aunt who didn't like the red peppers sprinkled on the toast, totally agree with that) read more

Great brunch good food. We all enjoyed our meals. . There is nice atmosphere . Very busy but both times we wen. We had reservations which helped on second time no wait, which I would suggest. read more

We recently moved to Maple Grove and discovered that this is the equivalent to Longfellow! We were so excited as this has been a favorite breakfast spot for years. It did not disappoint. The menu is the same, the food taste just as good. It is very kid friendly with the kids menu. It is part of the strip mall, though parking is not difficult. There is patio and indoor seating. They have a great selection for lunch and dinner as well but we usually do go for breakfast. Do not miss the housemade chocolate cake, it is our favorite! The service was quick and friendly, patio seating was plenty full, nice and quiet. We were very happy with our first experience and it will be a great alternative to Longfellow. read more

Good American breakfast options, good location to walk around Maple Grove area and plenty of parking in back free shared parking lot or free street parking (entrance is on side facing street). We like the salmon scramble here and usually just get that. The other breakfast options are ok but limited/not much room for substitute. The tarter sauce for the fish and chips was good and tasted like it was made in house. Service is ok the several times we went. read more

I used to give this place 5 stars, but since COVID it's down to 3. The food was and contunies to be very good, but service has really gone down. Staff isn't as friendly as it used to be. Last time I was in they really pushed for us to sit bar side rather than dinning side, but our party was larger than a 4 seat hightop could accommode. Eventually we were sat at a nice large table dinning side, but staff seems rather disgruntled about it. read more

If you like seafood you must get the walleye-shrimp cake Benedict. Unsure how I'll ever eat a normal eggs Benedict again. The american breakfast was a little greasy, but accomplished the job. Overall a good breakfast. We went during a peak time (9 AM on a Sunday) and were able to be sat right away. Our server was very nice and never pressured us to leave. She did disappear at one point and we weren't sure if we paid with her or at the host desk (table), but I'd like to assume she was giving us space to catch up. There is street parking or a lot, so no worries on that front either. read more

If you've ever been to The Lowry, this place is just a knockoff/bootleg of that. We were at the Lowry the night before we came here and the menu is almost identical, just a little cheaper. I ordered the breakfast bowl with riced cauliflower, and it had good presentation and was very filling. I could have used a creamy ingredient on top to temper the acid of the salsa, but overall lots of good flavor variety. We also ordered the buffalo wings, which were flame grilled, not fried, so they were really slippery all coated in the sauce. My friend dropped her wings a couple times! Our server was really attentive and went out of her way to get a post-meal food order in asap. The pancakes were thick and floppy like you want them to be, but one of them in a stack of three was undercooked and had a few bites of goopy batter in it. It was also incredibly loud, we went around noon and it was packed. I had to raise my voice to chat with my table mates. Even with this, it was a decent meal and I like how the server treated us, so I would go back. read more

I didn't think I was hungry, until I saw the menu, then I ordered a lot! The beet salad, shown on the website, is as delicious as colorful. The ahi tuna salad was a highlight, with a medley of great sauces and prime tuna, plus the chopped up nuts. I also had the blackened fish taco, but asked for the corn tortillas (my preference). The tacos were a great combo of ingredients, although the rice and red beans weren't noteworthy. But the tomato basil soup was! Since it was billed as a homemade dish, I tried it and it was a touch chunky (in a honest way) and certainly flavorful enough for me to get a cup to go. I look forward to going back next trip to the area (I live in Philadelphia). read more

I love their chicken and waffles. The staff are so nice and welcoming. It has a friendly atmosphere.

Love their brunch! Especially the salmon scramble with hashbrowns and an English muffin. Excellent also comes with a side salad. (if you don't want hashbrowns) for a very yummy healthy choice. Their eggs Benedict is also very, very good. Unfortunately, they don't have a good host staff, so are deficient in handling a rush. Should have at least experienced person at the front entrance who is very friendly and organized and can hustle. A second person to be clearing and setting up tables would be a big plus. As much as I love their food, we have left during a rush. Because it's total chaos... And we've gone over to Perkins instead. read more

Our table ordered several different things but we all liked what we had ordered. Wait staff did a good job. Have been there many times and will go back. read more

Clean restaurant with efficient and friendly service at the bar. Really enjoyed what I ordered and look forward to coming back to try more. I stood at the hostess stand for about three minutes before deciding to seat myself at the bar. After a couple more minutes there I got myself a menu from behind the hostess stand so I could order when I was helped which was soon after. I imagine they're short staffed, esp considering the signage posted at the hostess stand. I hope there is some improvement in that department, but everything else was good. Clean bathroom as well which is always appreciated read more

From the food to the drinks, it's a great steady option on our list of restaurants. The service is fast for how busy 3 Squares is. They are attentive, polite, and are willing to retrieve any extra goods you may need. It is a bar/grill with an outside patio. You can expect it to get very busy for breakfast on the weekend by 9:45 am. It can get pretty loud inside as well. The maple syrup is one of a kind here. I'm not sure what is in it but I taste cinnamon of sorts... I am still deciding if it's a taste I want to acquire. The breakfast burrito can get pretty spicy (ask for regular sour cream on the side). The Bloody Mary's are tasty but spendy for the size you likely get elsewhere. The wings are fantastic!!! Parking is vast and they have a waiting area outside with benches as well - like I said, you can expect a wait time past 9:45 am without a reservation. ** unique quality: coffee cups are very big and come in different shapes/designs- so fun ** read more

Another brunch spot. Nothing significant stood out to me, but I had a good time her for a brunch double-date. Parking Found behind the building. Easy to get to. Must walk to restaurant entrance. Service Good service. We usually ask for hot sauce and it was fun to see the hot sauce in a caddy. Food I prefer a more fluffy French toast. Everyone else enjoyed their meal. Great place if you want decent breakfast and lunch food. read more

I really wish I had taken a picture of my food beforehand. I was very satisfied and decided to write a review! Came out for a casual brunch on NYE with no expectations, just looking for something savory and light. It wasn't busy at all, just some families and friends enjoying their time together during happy hour with friendly and fast waitresses that check up on you often! I ordered the Salmon Scramble that was made with salmon, eggs, a shallot cream cheese, and thinly sliced red onions. The dish itself came with raspberry jam, choice of toast, and hash browns or salad. The eggs already had a fluffy texture, so the added cream cheese highlighted that while giving that onion flavor. I also ordered a tomato basil soup, which was okay, to say the least. The crackers were goldfish, and the soup itself had a more sour/acidic taste to it compared to others i've tried in the area. read more

We visited Maple Grove to run an errand and decide to have lunch here. They have a lovely patio but since it was 85 degrees, we dined inside. We were seated promptly, though we had to wait a while for our server. We ordered Buffalo Cauliflower, a Grand BLT-A, and Blackened Fish Tacos; the cauliflower was underwhelming, needing more buffalo sauce, and its coating was more floury than tempura. The BLT-A was a highlight with fresh produce and crispy bacon, while the fries were overly coated for our taste. The tacos had a good flavor but lacked balance, with too much slaw and not enough fish, plus the beans were mostly sauce with very few actual pinto beans. Is there a shortage on beans? The server was pleasant, but the long wait and absence of a receipt were slightly disappointing. read more

me here on a Thursday late morning/early afternoon, after a team volunteer event that was nearby. It wasn't too busy there, I will say parking was a little confusing for some of us, some parked way far away and some of us close by accident. The menu is VERY gluten free friendly, so major points for that. It seemed like everyone enjoyed their food, but the service was slow. The server was very friendly and she didn't mess anything up it just took a good long while between request and actually getting it. I got the Southwest Quinoa Bowl and really enjoyed it a lot. Good flavor with that lime and the textures were great. It was surprisingly filling and I was able to bring about 1/2 home to my spouse! Would definitely come and try more from here again, if I'm in the area. read more

Tara was my server and she was so friendly and made great menu recommendations. Can't wait to try more things! the patio was great too

Well the experience is one I do not want to relive. Way too many flies on the outside patio! They need to add fans to help with this. I got the salmon - it smelled fishy I ate about 3/4 Dont feel well, and the cauliflower rice was gross. Now don't take my review as to not try it, my experience might be different than others. I am traveling on business and I always like to try local eateries and I am highly disappointed! Service was fast and they were cordial not overly friendly . And I am from California saying this! I dropped to a two star due to my experience. 31.00 after tip, ridiculous! read more

Walked to this place from our hotel because they serve breakfast all day. Although the breakfast menu is small, they do have a lot of variety in choice, same w the lunch and dinner menus. They do NOT serve omelettes though, so my son was a little bummed out about that. We ended up ordering: * the grilled salmon, which was perfect. Glazed slightly with a balsamic marinade, and served with grilled root veggies. Yum. * the southwest quinoa bowl, which was my favorite. So delicious with heirloom tomatoes, peppers, corn, kale, black quinoa...so GOOD and deliciously fresh! * the cakes, links, and eggs - those panels disappeared fast! Lol So fluffy and delicious. The sausage links were fat and full of flavor! Service was perfect! We sat outside and had the nicest server. They let us take forEVER to order, and then we like to sit around and chat. Some places don't like that, but we were super happy here, and left a great tip. We hope to come back here soon! read more

Such a great find. My wife had the Quinoa and oatmeal with brown sugar and blueberries! Perfect texture on the quinoa! The blueberries were so fresh. I had the eggs Benedict and hashbrowns. The eggs were cooked perfectly and the hoindaise sauce was spot on. We shared a side order of their French toast and it was amazing. The bread was light and crisp. Definitely recommend this place. read more
