Although my partner's bowl lacked the chicken! Bread was sliced too thin yet was tasty which made the small portion a disappointment. Service quick & actually delivered our lunch to us. This spot shares space with a gift shop & florist, so you get the benefit of plenty of plants and floral smells while you eat.

My wife and I both enjoyed the Pyre - which was the special of the day - DELICIOUS . The smoked turkey, bacon, smoked gouda, arugula, their signature campfire sauce, all on a grilled rosemary panini - when I tell you this sandwich means business, it truly slaps. We also tried the Nordic Potato Salad, which was equally as tasty, had a lot of herbaceous flavors with perfectly cooked pillowy potatoes. As I mentioned, if you haven't gotten here yet - make it happen !

Simple menu, fresh ingredients and one main item, delicious sandwiches! There was one soup, but the…read moremain focus was sandwiches. I had the Woden, a fancy grilled cheese with basil pesto sauce. So flavorful and filling but definitely could not finish it. Got a bit heavy. But oh it was so crispy and buttery, delicious! One vegetarian sandwich on the menu, no vegan options. Free street and public parking nearby. Staff was working fast and kept things moving and clean. Looks like a busy place with a lot of repeat customers. Worth a check out for lunch if you are in the Downtown Anoka area

Come hungry--this plate doesn't mess around…read more The Loaded Hash Browns with Polish Sausage are comfort food at its best. Crispy hash browns are covered with melted cheese, jalapeños, olives, peppers, and onions, while the grilled Polish sausage adds a smoky, savory bite that ties everything together. The sour cream and salsa on the side let you customize every bite. The portions are generous, the ingredients are fresh, and it's the kind of breakfast that keeps you coming back. If you're in the mood for something hearty with plenty of flavor, this is an easy recommendation. A great choice when you're craving a serious breakfast.

We love coming to Outpost for lunch, and they also have a great breakfast menu! We came during the Vikings game on Sunday and they had a ton of specials going on. This place is priced right and the staff makes everyone feel like regulars! We have always had great service. They offer takeout, and we love to order pizza and wings to go. Outpost also just updated all of their chairs and tables which was a huge plus!

We started with cheese curds. Loved that they were batter fried and not breaded. Very tasty and a huge app portion. My entree was the pulled pork sandwich with bbq beans. Everything was very good. Pork had a savory flavor and it was nice and tender. Portions were large. Topped it all off with a Hazy Little Thing beer. Great service. Easy parking. Just off a major road. Great stop.

My husband works for an LTL delivery service and made a couple deliveries to Jellybean and Julia's…read morewhen they were opening their current location. He told me back then that someday we needed to check out J&J's. We love small business, local, non-chain restaurants. I decided to surprise my husband and take him to J&J's for Father's Day. We are empty nesters, so it was just the two of us for lunch. We arrived just after 12 p.m. There was a line out the door, which we expected since it was Father's Day and Sunday lunchtime. We were told it would be a 15-20 minute wait for a table, which we had no issue with. We ended up waiting less than 10 minutes because there was a table available on the patio. The weather was beautiful, and with summer being so short in Minnesota, we like to take advantage of it whenever we can. Our server came to our table shortly after we were seated, but it was long enough that we both had time to decide what we wanted before she arrived. I ordered the Texas Philly, and my husband had the brisket sandwich. We had to wait a while for our food, which we understood given how busy the restaurant was. Others around us were complaining about the wait, and those tables had a different server who was very apologetic about the kitchen being backed up. The hand-cut fries were piping hot and seasoned perfectly. It's so rare to go out to eat and get hot fries, let alone fries that are piping hot. That alone was worth the wait! My husband loved the brisket sandwich, and the Texas Philly was SO good--piled full of meat. We live in the south metro, but it was well worth the 30+ minute drive to get there. We'll definitely be back and will absolutely recommend J&J's to others!

I never tried them before - but now I'm a fan of Erbert & Gerbert's sandwiches!…read more These guys just opened about 2 weeks ago in the old Bronco's Sandwiches location. Previously, I was oblivious to Erbert & Gerbert's until they opened in Anoka. My wife and I tried some subs and they were great! I like the signature "guts" from the bread. I didn't understand it at first. What's up with the big hunk of bread? Then I asked an employee and she showed me the sign explaining the signature "guts". The staff were all very nice and professional. We'll be back. Next time, we're going to try some E & E soup. -Daddy Maxx Retro

When we arrived 20 min after the text that the order was ready, it was not even started. We had to wait an additional 30 min for the order in store.

The taste is great but that app feature is awful.

The menu is fairly basic, but the selections did taste great. We liked the garlic bread the best, we were able to eat the whole thing with just the two of us as they are so addicting! We also enjoyed the chicken Alfredo and like the meat sauce. It is downtown parking so street parking can be limited. Service was a little slow, it did take a bit for the garlic bread to arrive. But they were apologetic for this.

Stopped in to try this Italian place. It is a little hard to find but, well worth the effort…read more Inside and nice and set up like an old style Italian restaurant with small lights on table and even a piano player too. Great low key ambiance. Believe it or not, I had the meat loaf off the menu. The menu literally said "yes meat loaf, it's that good". It was good, almost like eating veal with beef gravy. The gravy and the meat had a good flavor, worth a try. The table next to me a lady had the chicken Alfredo and she went on and on about how good it was. Yes tables are close to each other. I also tried the tiramisu, menu stated it was home made. It was not bad, just the whipped cream was a little heavy and it needed a little more espresso on the lady fingers. The waitress was amazing. She was polite, professional and had a 1920's style dress on, not sure how she waited tables and was the hostess in the dress and kept up. But she did and did an amazing job. The chef's did come out and check on folks and even did food running. The staff overall was exceptional. I will have to go back and try some of the pasta as well.

The first thing that hits you is the delicious aroma of buttery goodness and then your wondering eyes are greeted by delicacies in a variety of colors and shapes within glass cases. I went a little crazy but in my defense, I don't get out much and finding places that are real bakeries (not donut factories) is a rarity in the suburbs. If you love real pastry made with real butter and consummate skill, then get thee to Krown Bakery!

2026 Dive Bar 3 of 40…read more Just off Main Street, you will find this corner bar not far from the river. Upon entering, you will notice a small bar with an adequately stocked bar, featuring about 8 taps and a number of canned and bottled beers for your liking. There are plenty of high-top tables and booths to accommodate a decent crowd. MaGillycuddy's Bar is one of those places that instantly makes you want to settle in and stay awhile. The atmosphere strikes that perfect balance between cozy and relaxed, thanks in no small part to the awesome tin ceiling-- it kind of gives this place a vintage charm you don't see often. The crowd is just what one would expect, just regular folks enjoying a libation and watching the Wild game. And they have pulltabs!! We settled in on a high-top table and ordered beers and our lunch. The Nashville Hot Shrimp is a must-try. just the right amount of heat, and packed with flavor. The Guinness cheeseburger is an open-faced burger topped with fries, Guinness cheese sauce, and, of course, bacon. That was a bit messy, and was enjoyable, but there are some other items I will want to try before going back to that entree. Between the solid food offerings, the friendly vibe, and the cool interior, MaGillycuddy's has all the makings of a local favorite. If you're anywhere near Aonka, do yourself a favor and stop in--you won't regret it.

Unfortunately, it took nearly 20 minutes for my hot chocolate to be prepared and my dessert to be boxed.
