Orange Chicken Wrap
Kim N.

Stopped in while in the area. A simple place with surprisingly good food! The staff was friendly and the food came quickly. The restaurant was really clean and well maintained. We will definitely make our way back for a lunch in the future.

Another week another work lunch as I'm slowly connecting back in person with my team the past few weeks. We frequent here quite a bit at my work and if you haven't heard of it or been, you should! It's the cutest cafe style restaurant with a menu for everyone. This summer my go to has been the Pineapple Mango Salad with Salmon! They feature indoor and outdoor seating with a cute patio located by a small fountain pond. They offer beer and wine as well too for a little happy hour style meal.

Oak Chili

Simply blown away by this place. I have heard rave reviews from friends in the area and had to check it out for myself. Oak Eatery, in Hamel, is located at the west end of a small business strip with clear visibility from HWY 55 and extremely easy to get to. The dining area is relatively small with about 10 tables but feels huge boasting tall ceilings and floor to ceiling windows on the north and west sides. On to the food. I literally could have ordered every item on the menu as they all had mouth watering descriptions. We decided to start with a spinach and artichoke dip served with fresh made bread made with their pizza dough and then seasoned. The dip was fine, exactly what you could expect from artichoke dip BUT THE BREAD! OMG. I would have been happy with a plate of that! It was soft and flakey and perfectly seasoned. I wasn't planning on soup but they had chili as a special for day so I could resist. If this chili is available ITS A MUST. I like my chili with a little more heat but given the area I get it. It was extremely flavorful though and had huge chunks of meat. For my course I went with their The Medina Sandwich. "Seasoned steak, sauteed onions, american and swiss-american cheeses served on grilled sourdough bread" The meat with cooked to perfection and melted in my mouth. They served it with a side of Aj Jus which I thought was odd but it was delicious. The sandwich reminded me of a French Dip which they also have on their menu. I will probably get that next time I go. I also have pictures my girlfriends sandwich, The Rachel. Another huge sandwich that came piled high with juicy turkey, sauerkraut and Swiss cheese on grilled marble rye. I do feel it could have had a little more 1000 island. This place was GREAT. It is a must stop!

French Dip

In Idaho, nachos look a bit different. But they got cheese and bacon, so we don't judge the spuds. Share it with the table next to ya and you'll probably become best buds ;) Check out the dining at this fine little place in Medina: Idaho Nachos -- Crispy waffle fries topped with cheddar cheese, bacon and green onion served with seasoned sour cream French Dip -- Thinly-shaved tender beef piled high with melted provolone, crispy onions and their famous whiskey sauce, all on a ciabatta bun, with au jus for dipping From Oak Eatery right down the hill from Hamel No lies, we were appetized by these fries. The waffle variety can sometimes be soggy, bogging down an otherwise awesome app. But not so for Oak; golden brown and can't-believe-it's-so-good crispy, the bacon/cheese mix on these was wondrous. And I'm definitely on team seasoned sour cream. And without further ado, the vessel for the au jus. Terrifically tender beef and gooey provolone with crispy sweet onions on ciabatta... you just gotta go for it. The house special sauce was sensational as well I think you'll jive with this place off Highway 55! The dishes are dually down-to-earth and divine, not to mention the prices that are very fair in the midst of inflation! Oak is no joke--its worth it to stop by soon! Thanks to Pastor Jackson for a fantastic and filling dinner!

Calzone
Kelly R.

Our food was delicious and the service was great! I think the only reason I may not recommend was the atmosphere felt really bare and cold. At first walking in it looked like a place where you order at the counter and leave or quick grab a table, like a fast food/to go situation... not welcoming as if it was a sit down restaurant. I think the atmosphere is part of the experience and it just didn't feel like a cozy spot. I think it has a ton of potential if it felt more welcoming! Other than that we enjoyed the meal!

BLT chicken flat bread
Michele B.

The food here is really amazing! You can't go wrong with a sandwich, burger, flat bread or salad. The calzone look good, but I still need to order my own. I've only had a taste of friends'. This is the perfect time to go with the patio open! It's counter order and they bring it to your table. They have breakfast lunch, and dinner. They even have beer and wine! There's not a ton of seating so I usually get mine to go. But I've enjoyed eating in too. The servers are very friendly and helpful. If you're ever in the Western burbs come try them for lunch.

Amazing New York style bagel sandwiches! I could not believe the size of the bagels they were…read moreabsolutely incredible & so filling. They have a few different bagel sandwich options you can choose from but can also just get a bagel with cream cheese. When you walk in you order at a counter and they will call out your name once your order is done! They have a couple of tables to sit at inside which is nice. There are different types of bagels & cream cheese options so you can create your perfect sandwich! The pboebe was amazing with hashbrown patties & an egg with cream cheese. It was massive and literally so filling it felt well worth the $11. I cannot wait to come back to try their pizzas!

Beware, they definitely sold out of the meat bagel sandwiches by the time we arrived, so plan to get there early! I really wish that you could pre-order sandwiches all weekend, as they currently only allow pre-orders on Thursday and Friday! Well, I know you're wondering, was it all worth it? Absolutely YES. PERFECTION. No notes. Thick, chewy Everything bagel with a toasted exterior. Melted cheese, egg, and cream cheese! I didn't even miss the sausage. Will absolutely be making this a regular stop when I'm in the area!

I wish they would have rocked a pan crust however, instead of a thin crust like I had asked, but, it's still pretty darn tasty. So to start here's the not so good besides the pizza crust mix up, the website. Lord is it not easy to navigate. So terrible to navigate in fact that after 10 minutes of trying to figure it out on my phone, I gave up and called. The problem I continued to find was that no matter what I tried every pizza I was trying to order was from a different location then the one I wanted to order from. The other not so great part of this, was the fact that online they claimed to have two deals, when ordering online, it said they had one, when calling they confirmed there was only one. So why is there two coupons or specials, when there's really only 1? Add on top of the crust mix up, and it's hard to rate this highly. Additionally, I hope you're ordering for pick up or delivery because there's not much for space inside. The positives here are simple, great flavor, wonderfully cooked, fantastic job with the extra cheese. Based off pizza only she easily gets a 3.5/4. It's easily comparable to other chains, and how do you really mess up pizza? If you offered me the big chains vs this though, I'm easily taking this.

I came to Boss Pizza with one thing and one thing only in my mind - the Super Boss Pizza. Funny thing occurred - when I ordered it the server checked in with me. Verifying my sanity. I was told that grown men - buffalo wing loving gents - had been humbled by the super boss sauce (which is the base for the pizza in lieu of red sauce). So what did I do? I doubled down and got the pizza and the super boss wings to boot. Here's what I can tell you. I can't feel my face as I write this and I may have consumed a gallon of ranch. That stuff is HOT! I feel like you should sign a waiver before consuming. Would I do it again? 100% without a doubt. I loved every burning second! If you like heat - swing by this spot.

They haven't done much to update the decor, so if you lived green mill, then you'll love boss decor. When you enter the bar is on the left and dining room booths to the right. The menu is large with a focus on pizza options, but burgers, other hoagie type sandwiches and lots of other choices are offered. I'm really hoping they were having trouble getting help to come in due to weather, or are still working through "new business" issues. We arrived around 5:45 to meet friends for dinner and were greeted by a friendly smile. It took 15-20 minutes to get our initial beverages, and one of the cocktails never arrived at the table. We ordered a 2 piece and 4 piece chicken dinner, a ranch Chicken sandwich and one of the burger options, and then we waited. Almost an hour later the chicken dinners and ranch chicken sandwich came out. The burger customer told us to eat while our food was hot. Almost 25 minutes later, his food still hadn't arrived and we were finished eating. The waitress appeared to be very new and was clearly struggling to get anything out of the kitchen. We paid for everything we got to the table, tipped the waitress for her efforts and left. They have a weird thing where no bill is brought to your table, you go to the front desk to settle your bill. Based on the long waits, staff friustration, and business processes, it is likely we won't be going back anytime soon. Damn, I really wanted this to go well!

Mothership Pizza Paradise - Brenda

Despite being newer to the Minneapolis dining scene, Mothership seems like it has been around for a…read morewhile - cozy, loud, and inviting - it gives the feeling of a well frequented neighborhood spot with a robust takeout service. I am not sure why it took me so long to visit, but now that I have, I can see it becoming a frequent rotator on my list of pizza joints. There are no reservations and wait times can be long, but there is a small space with a counter where you can order drinks in the meantime. The bar, situated to the left, and the booths and tables to the right make for an intimate dining space. With one or two TVs, it feels a little more casual, but you can easily choose to not pay attention to the screens. Pear and gorgonzola salad: Would be too small for a meal in my opinion, but a nice starter to share if everyone wants some leafy greens. A light, pear vinaigrette coats mixed greens with equal amounts of walnuts, gorgonzola cheese and mixed root vegetables. If you're looking for a salad with some creativity, try it. Garlic knots: MUST get. It's like the savory version of the inside of a cinnamon roll. So doughy with a cheese crust and doused in butter and garlic, these knots sit on top of a light red sauce that can be used to enhance their flavor even further. They are rich and having one and a half was more plenty. Emma: Crust is so important to me in pizza, along with quality ingredients, and I think Mothership nailed it. The thin, buttery white sauce is not overpowering, and with a blend of cheeses, mushrooms and artichokes making up the bulk of the pizza, the hints of truffle honey, pistachio and basil can still peak through. The base of the pizza is thin with a Rosalia style crust - almost like naan bread - so doughy and soft. I think if you are prepared to wait for a table, it really is worth it. I can't forget the chocolate chip cookies and milk at the end too - I recognize a chocolate chip cookie is a chocolate chip cookie is a chocolate chip cookie - and these are just like the ones your mom makes! Not too thin or thick, packed with chocolate, slightly crisp on the outside with a soft interior and best dunked in whole milk! Highly recommend this spot in Edina.

We were quoted 30 minutes but were able to grab a spot at the bar at about minute 15! - We got the Care Bear pizza not realizing how spicy it would be! Would love them to add a spiciness level to their menu! It was still tasty but harder to enjoy! -There really isn't a "lobby" area. So the people waiting to sit down were basically bumping into us while we sat at the bar. Overall, this place is good! It's worth a try, but during times that aren't so busy. Even better, they have an option for take out! Also this is not a good place for a date or a friend meeting where you want to stay for hours. Be respectful and plan no more than an hour, hour twenty at most! -
