Today I spent over $10 and got a 24 pack of their water for $1.99 valid memorial weekend only. They bag your groceries and put rubber bands around eggs and raspberries. There is a drive thru to pick up your groceries. Lunds Byerlys are kinda upscale. This grocery store had a recent remodel but it still is not as fancy as Plymouth and other locations. I guess you pay extra having a grocery store so close by.

My favorite time of day to visit Byerly's is about 2 pm.....the lunch crowd has evacuated and the…read moredinner shoppers have not yet realized just how last-minute their shopping has gotten ;) I love to sample the items from the deli case, they have some unique salads and hot entrees, too....plus, they are AWESOME at checking ingredients for me with all my allergens to be aware of. The holiday menus are always a good bet for the cost and the lunch bar choices make for a nice alternative to fast food in the Twin Cities. On my last grocery run, I was lucky enough to find gluten-free vanilla extract for some sweet baked goods, a great selection of Pinot Grigio and Sauvignon Blanc wines, and several varieties of dilled crudités (in jars in kosher/ condiment aisles) to lay out with cheeses for a small soirée I threw together. All I needed to add was the Gavin DeGraw music and the palettes were contented that afternoon :) Cheers to Byerly's!

What's not to love ? This location has a brueggers bagels AND a caribou coffee built in, with…read moreaccess to either one on the inside ! There was some construction going on in the parking lot, which made it really tough to find a parking spot, and cones up everywhere.. so I had to loop once, turn around, and loop again to find a spot. Not a great start. But the food made up for it. I started my food journey with ordering a BLT bagel, with egg whites. It comes on an everything bagel, and has a sun dried tomato spread on it as well. I usually go with the western bagel, but decided to switch it up for today. While I was waiting for my bagel to be completed, I walked over to caribou and ordered a vanilla crafted press, which was super fast and tasty! I love that this location has access to both coffee and bagels, because I prefer caribou coffee to the coffee made at brueggers! Coffee was fast and bagels were moderately fast as well. it wasn't super busy today, which helped ! Ambiance wasn't super loud, and they were playing some good HipHop music in brueggers, which was a nice change ! Great playlist! I would return!

I think he must've been new and nervous. Bagels tasted good, I liked the option of buying single, half dozen or dozen and it includes cream cheese. Love the variety here. I didn't get an option to toast the bagels though. Easy to order online too. Plenty of parking.

I normally don't shop at Hy-vee as none are close to my home. I was near this one after seeing a…read moreclient and stopped in briefly. I bought pork ribs, cream cheese, blueberry pie filling, gummy bears and an alien candy thing. There were only 2 check out lanes open with huge lines, so I used self check out. There are other Hy-vee locations in Savage and Eagan, but their locations are not closeby, unless I an driving by, I probably don't frequent these or make a special trip. They had some good sales and variety.

DON'T get the lobster roll or the lobster Mac & cheese! it was AWFUL! this was a total waste of…read moreover $33 for this "you pick two" meal. The Mac & cheese had more lobster claws in it than any lobster meat. The lobster roll was just 2 separate pieces of rolls with big chunks of lobster & some lettuce in between. When I tried to bite the "roll" --. lettuce & lobster chunks fell out because it wasn't a slit roll which is typical for lobster rolls. There was no type of mayo in it, just lettuce and big chunks of lobAyer. The lobster wasn't very good, either. I would NOT recommend this at all. I threw most of it in the garbage.

The experience at this restaurant is weird. Show up at 11am…read more- you'll have a line out the door. That is understandable, as it's peak brunch time. You talk to the front desk, and they'll tell you there's an hour wait if you don't have a reservation. You look around and see open tables. You think: "that's odd". You check on the website and it says you can get a reservation for 15, 30, and 45 minutes from now. You select a reservation for 15 minutes from now, and magically there isn't an hour wait for you anymore. You note the still open tables and the line not moving. The restaurant is very loud. They're doing late 2010's industrial chic with not a soft surface in site and garage doors, so everybody's conversation bounces around indefinitely. You wait a while for a server to come. I find the way the food looks when it arrives is always different than the way it sounds when you read the menu - sometimes for better, and sometimes for worse. The coffee and bar menu is pretty decent for a brunch place. Prices are on the high end, though some are more reasonable than others. Then you get hit with a 3% credit card fee which isn't adequately disclosed on the menu or when you enter the restaurant.

I love how they now bring your food to your table and usually come quickly to clear your table. I usually get a soup & half sandwich which is a perfect portion for lunch. The chicken wild rice has always been my favorite. I usually do a turkey sandwich with my soup, but was looking for something different today and the greeter gave me a wonderful recommendation of the Chipotle Chicken Avocado Melt. YUM!!!! Definitely my new favorite and I will be back for this sandwich. They also have some wonderful options of iced teas. It's fun to try the different ones! Prickly Pear Hibiscus Fresca is delicious!
