Confession of an ice cream snob: Dream Creamery is an excellent ice cream spot in the Nokomis area…read more The staff was super patient as we sampled more and more flavors. They didn't bat an eyelash when I had my 3rd, 4th, and 5th sample. And I'm glad they were so flexible because I wound up getting things I never would have tried. For me, the standout flavors were the Pandan (I will be back for this, I want it by the pint) and the Passion Fruit Fluff. The seasonal flavors were intriguing, but these really proved out why they belong on the regular rotation. Cute seating area, it was perfect for a quick bite!

I got a seasonal apple crumble ice cream, and the textured and flavors did not match in my opinion. The crumble in the ice cream tasted burnt or over cooked, the apples were a weird dried feature, and the actual ice cream had a weird mouth feel. My husband got a chocolate peanut butter option and said it was ok. A fun place with fun flavors, and it seems like our experience was an anomaly compared to others.

I tried the raspberry shake, and it was awesome. The staff is super nice, and I saw them give an older couple their food for free as a thank you for all their patronage over the summer. I thought that was super nice, and not something you see often. The outdoor area was spacious and we were able to find a table with no issues. I will have to come back hungrier next time I'm in the area, as the burgers and onion rings looked incredible.

Wagners has been around since 1971, but opened it's Brooklyn Park location in 1988. From the looks…read moreof it, you would think it has been there from the 1950's because it is an authentic drive-in restaurant. That means there are little speakers next to each parking stall from which you order (the menu is near the speaker) and they will bring the food to your car. They used to bring the food to you on a tray, but now it is bagged up for you to either enjoy in your car or to take home. Other options are to sit at one of about half a dozen picnic tables, or there is seating inside the restaurant. Frankly, Wagners was getting a bit run-down, but they have spruced up the place in the last couple of year, with a well-deserved paint job, new speakers, and new picnic tables. They even have hand held credit card readers, which saves the waitstaff from making extra trips to process your card. The menu has all of the classics you would want, from a variety of tasty, juicy hamburgers, hot and cold sandwiches, meals that include fries, coleslaw, and toast. Their French fries are crinkle cut and excellent: crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The onion rings are good and you can have Chile in a bowl or on your hamburger or hotdog. There are milkshakes, desserts, kids' meals and smoothies. I've eaten here for years and the food is always reliably great, the service is always friendly and the prices are very reasonable. Take your kids here, take your grandkids here, go here for a date, or just go yourself. It's a fun and tasty time!

Stopped by this cute drive in diner just for a hot fudge sundae…read more We ordered a chocolate sundae with hot fudge but ended up with a vanilla hot fudge which was fine It was pretty melted as soft serve Not sure i would order this again- maybe just try the milkshake or malt instead as it was quite soupy The server comes out to your car for delivery and payment - very friendly Would try some other menu items next time

OMG, I think I'm IN LOVE…read more And this place is literally SO CLOSE to where we live now, I can walk there in just half an hour. (Probably good cuz you gotta work off the calories from those malts...) I actually saw this place advertised on a road sign for eateries to expect on the next exit. Usually those get covered in all the food chains like Taco Bell and junk, so my interest was piqued and I announced my enthusiasm to my hubbie that we try it. DELICIOUS. We arrived on a lovely sunny spring day, so we chose to dine outside on their patio area. The inside had a fun retro cafe aesthetic that I'm sure we'll enjoy during the cooler months at some point too. The staff was incredibly friendly and in a good mood, which added to my own happiness upon arrival. We were seated and given menus to study, and I do mean I had to thoroughly study it. Picking out what I wanted was TOUGH. Everything looked mouth-wateringly good, but I finally settled on the patty melt on the marbled rye with the waffle fries. Excellent choice, and it was so humongous of a portion that I ended up taking half home and reheating it in my air fryer another day. Love that! Hubbie and I shared a large chocolate malt, which they gave us two glasses to pour into. It was also delicious. All the prices seemed pretty reasonable, especially for nowadays the way the economy is. IYKYK. We're already planning the next time we'll be back! Yummy yummy in my tummy!

Really good burgers at a decent price!…read more The burgers were incredibly tender. $12 for a basket with fries for a single is a great deal and you add a patty for $3. The meat skirt was great on them. I also added bacon which was also incredibly tender. The cheese was really creamy and gooey too. I thought the patties could have used a touch more seasoning, but a minimal comment. They were meaty and delicious. The fries were battered fries, which I really like. And we're scaldingly hot out of the frier. They were really good. There is extremely limited inside seating...basically just a rail on the window. So in bad weather don't count on a spot inside. Plenty of benches outside and a patio though as long as the weather is good. The ice cream is also very good and competitively priced at $5 for a single scoop. Service is like a fast casual restaurant. They take your order and you pay and give your name and they bring it out to you.

I stopped at dream creamery last night for Minnesota Burger Week which features normally higher…read morepriced great burgers for only $10!! I drove around to find street parking and by the time I got there was already about thirty minutes til close and lines were still out the door. Its a tiny place and gets warm inside so it was nice they kept one of the doors open and made sure to take food orders while they could and clearly stated when the cut off was and who the last customer would be. The team was working super hard Xavier and Melody were out front tag teaming scooping ice cream, calling out orders, taking payment. I was impressed by how they kept it together on what looked like an overwhelming night. And I can only imagine how hard the kitchen staff worked. On to the food: this was my first time visiting I like that they have so many unique ice cream flavors I didn't sample any ice cream before ordering but got the lemon blueberry pound cake. It was good but the flavors didn't really pop I wanted more tart lemon curd to balance the sweetness. I enjoyed the chunks of cake in it and they were too big. The burgers are juicy smash burgers it had garlic dill pickles and their special sauce. I love smash burgers and it had a great flavor more salt forward or seasoned than other burger places I've been to. The onion rings were a big, salty and crunchy after a few the seasoning is a bit overpowering but the sauce that comes with it was delicious it was one of the best I've had! I'm looking forward to checking them out again when they're off the burger week. It's definitely worth a stop.

This place is a great spot for families or large groups- with a lot of seating inside and out! We love their malts, but sometimes I wish they had even a smaller of size- a half is HUGE! Definitely shareable! I got the Graham Cracker, Caramel & Cinnamon- SO good! (I do wish there was chunks or graham lol). The onion rings are always a staple, beer battered and soo tasty! The portions are also really big for only being around $7? Again, a great place for groups to share. Overall, I was really impressed with their new spot and I look forward to trying it in the summer!
