Great MEAT! Grouchy owner... Been a customer for 20 years,…read morethe meat is always on point, terayaki chicken breasts are a staple and cheddar beef sticks and the jerky. The meat is a 5 star, unfortunately brought down by the grouchy owner. He doesn't have anything positive to say. My suggestion don't engage with him or better yet, kill him with being overly kind...at any rate great place to pickup meat for grilling on the lakes!

Some homemade bleu cheese and ranch, and a french thrown in. The night was finished off with a delicious apple pie. They supplied all the tables too. Kevin and Veneise and their crack staff rock. They also have very nice temperaments for caterers too. They didn't win 2010 Top Minnesota Caterers for nothing. I'd hire them for anything.

Worked with Vannessa to book the wedding venue. Everything went great, until we gave them a deposit…read morefor a down payment. She told my wife and I that she would be taking care of a hotel block of rooms. We stressed how important it was to us to have the majority of guests stay in the hotel because 90% were traveling from out of town. She smiled and said that was no problem. We gave her a check for a deposit that night. A few months later we found out the hotel is booked for our wedding date. At this time we already had all of our vendors lined up and the date was not flexible anymore. They blocked off enough rooms for the wedding party and 2 more rooms. I began to talk with the general manager "Charlie" and he just blatantly lied to us telling us that Vannessa escorted us to the hotel front desk and we discussed room reservations with that person. This never happened. When I questioned him that this ever happened he emailed me a contract that was wrote up between the hotel and my wife and I. The problem was that he had the wrong date on the contract. We meet with Vannessa in the evening of 21st and Charlie provided us with a contract that was dated the 22nd. After I questioned him about this he said he didn't need to answer any more of my questions because he answered them all already. I think the real reason he stopped talking to me was because I informed him we were switching venues. DO NOT BOOK A VENUE HERE, THEY WILL LIE DIRECTLY TO YOUR FACE. FOR BEING A CATERING AND EVENT PLANNING COMPANY THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING.

Alpha & Omega Farm was such a fun experience and absolutely worth the 45-minute to hour drive from…read morethe Twin Cities! I chose it for my birthday celebration, and it ended up being the perfect setting. There's plenty of grass parking and lots of space to spread out with lawn chairs or picnic blankets. We grabbed a table in the open gazebo, which worked perfectly for our group. I'd recommend arriving early if you want a spot near the stage, where they have live music throughout the evening. The farm opens at 5 p.m., but you can arrive as early as 4:30 to order pizza. I HIGHLY recommend reserving your crust online. It's $10, but that goes toward your pizza purchase. They also have a limited number of walk-ups available each night. We tried the Guyro and Millie the Meatlover pizzas. The Guyro had seasoned lamb, cheese, cucumber, tomato, and tzatziki and was such a unique combination, but the Meatlover was my favorite! It had plenty of Canadian bacon, pepperoni, and sausage with a great meat-to-cheese ratio. We also got the cheese curds with marinara, and definitely get some dill ranch for dipping! My one miss was the $7.50 Blueberry Basil Lemonade. I didn't get much blueberry or basil flavor and thought it tasted more like a watered-down pink lemonade. My brother's rum and Coke, on the other hand, was pretty strong for the price. You can also bring your own beverages. There's plenty to do while you wait for your pizza. The farm has pigs, alpacas, donkeys, cows, goats, plus games like cornhole and basketball. Between the animals, games, live music, and open space, it's also VERY kid-friendly. One of my favorite parts was meeting the owner, Kim, who took some time to show us around. I loved hearing about her vision of creating a welcoming space centered around community. They even have accommodations on the property and can host private events. A few things to know before you go: Bring plates, napkins, utensils, containers for leftover pizza, and a trash bag because those aren't provided. The bathrooms are also porta-potties, so come prepared! Overall, this felt like a little summer getaway without traveling far from Minneapolis. Come early, reserve your pizza, bring your picnic supplies, and make an evening out of it. I'd absolutely come back!

I went during a Father's Day Sunday with live music and I need to shout out to the partner who is making and selling the homemade cookies for $6. I can't stop thinking about those cookies - they are Glorious! The food here is farm fresh and my husband noticed the fresh tomato on the pizza immediately. Things to know upfront: - reserve/put a deposit down on your crust online ($10 plus tax) It is highly recommended. You pay for the full pizza once you order at the hut. They will ask for your name when you walk up. 1 crust typically feeds 2 people. - there is free farm parking - bring your own napkins, plates, and utensils (they do have a farm kit you can get if not for extra $) - this is a zero waste place so carry out your garbage recycling - no pets / children need to be supervised - you can rent one of their group seating spaces or find seating if any tables are open. We brought lawn chairs just incase as advised. We didn't need to use them on the mellow day we were in. -satellite restrooms onsite We loved visiting!! Thank you

The food was AMAZING - we enjoyed backed potatoes, cole slaw, beans, RIBS that fell off the bone and pulled pork sandwiches. There were complimentary beverages for the bridal party as they were getting ready (not sure who paid for them!) and there were multiple photo booth locations. A lovely fireplace, a "barn" backdrop, beautiful lights and even an old classic truck out front decorated with lights. I highly recommend their venue!

Because of conferences and trade shows, I frequently am at the St Cloud Civic Center. It used to…read morebe okay, but two new additions within the past year have really bumped it up on my 'Like' list: the additional meeting space, and believe-it-or-not, the outside parking lot. Expanding conference space that is modern, clean, and functional is a no-brainer, and I'm so glad that St Cloud is keeping up with the times and keeping up with the growth. Even though I'd prefer to have meetings in the Cities, the clients my business serves are statewide, so outer Metro hubs like St Cloud, Duluth and Rochester are often utilized by the associations who put on the conferences. Putting up with the freezing cold in the exhibit hall a few years back while they were building the expansion. So now about that parking lot. In the past, there were probably 20 parking spots (Okay, that may be a bit extreme. There were probably 30.) that were shared with the Civic Center and surrounding businesses. You'd have to park underneath the Civic Center in a cold, old, scary parking structure. The nightmare actually came when all the trade show vendors packed up their booths and we had to wait in line to cram ourselves, booth and SWAG into one elevator to get to our cars. Not any more! I'd much rather park outside all day for $6.00 and just stroll out of the Civic Center and walk a short distance to my car. It's a piece of cake now! There's a 'skyway' that connects the Civic Center to Le St-Germain Suite Hotel (Really? St Cloud is a university town. Who are they kidding?), and many local businesses are within walking distance. (See also: Adventure Advertising, Meta 13 and Jules' Bistro) I have reserved parking spot #4 for me. Please don't park there when I'm in town.

I've attended several conferences, trade shows, workshops, fundraising events, and dinners here, and it's always worked well for the organizations hosting the events. The cost is a bit higher than some spaces, but it's a centrally located space, adjacent to two hotels and restaurants and bars, and the building is large enough to accommodate either small or large groups depending upon what it is you're looking for.
