Great low light grill vibes inside and the staff was wonderful! I had the Cabo burger and it was cooked perfectly and the sauce on it was great. Personally I could've used a little more sauce on the burger and more fried jalapeños otherwise the burger was well balanced and tasted great and the toppings were fresh. Their ranch was delicious especially with the sweet potato fries and would definitely recommend asking for a side of ranch. Their old fashioned also tasted great, well balanced and classic! read more

I rarely, I mean very rarely, give 5 stars so this means something to me. We were on the road and staying at a nearby hotel so even though the reviews were good, we were not expecting RJ's to be the gem that it turned out to be. The location is not conducive to thinking top notch food and service just because of all the big rigs and being on the corner of a strip center. But boy were we pleasantly surprised. The server was very on top of things and personable as well. The crispy Walleye was absolutely perfect and a large enough portion to share for two senior citizens. The green beans were fresh and cooked perfectly. And the atmosphere inside was nothing at all like what you would expect from looking at the area. It was just the most pleasant evening of fine dining. Great wine list, too! read more

The food and drinks were very good and service excellent in spite of our arriving shortly before closing time.

An unprepossessing location just off 95 but an excellent restaurant with great service. We started with tenderloin tips, followed by apple pear salad and grilled chicken sandwich. All good. Dessert was vanilla bean cheesecake. Nice decor, good food and sweet service. read more

We were driving through and picked RJ's on a whim and were we surprised! The staff is friendly and accommodating. The menu is full of great food. We started with the Walleye Fingers and were not disappointed. The bourbon smash burger and shrimp po' boy were just as good. We could not have been more pleased. Worth a detour off of I-94! Thanks for a great meal! read more

What a surprise this place was! Unassuming exterior tucked behind a truck stop - beautiful dining room with fantastic food and service inside. I was craving a salad and took my server"s recommendation of the Coconut Chicken Salad. It was seriously one of the best salads I've ever had - so fresh, crispy quality chicken and the dressing was delicious! I also appreciate that the salad and chicken were cut bite-size so easy to eat! Thanks to Bailey for the super pleasant service and food recommendation! read more

To be fair, I will go 2 stars even though I would like to give it 1. The food was fine. The drinks were fine. 1 burger, 2 fish&chips, 2 drinks = $111.00. Come on. The Cabo burger - I really wanted to love this but it had no flavor. Couldn't even find the sauce that was advertised. Probably my favorite part of the meal was the coleslaw that came with the fish - mounded on the tiniest dishes so when I ate it, it fell all over the table. This is St. Cloud, not the north loop. It's in a truck stop parking lot and the food is meh. Not even close to worth the money. read more

What a gem! This restaurant is amazing from the friendly staff, beautiful interior and outstanding food. We were pleasantly surprised and so glad we found this tucked away hidden gem! My favorite dish - fish & chips and the sweet potato fries! We will for sure be back! read more

Grabbed a quick meal here and the space was nice. I was pleasantly surprised since the outside didn't indicate what the inside would look like. Our waitress was Morgan, she was super helpful with going over the menu. We went with fish and chips, wings, and a classic burger. The food came out quickly (however, they weren't busy) and hot. If Im in town again I would swing by for a quick bite. The menu isn't fussy - just standard American cuisine. read more

Excellent service, we got seated immediately! It was a wonderful stop on our drive! RJ's gives you a place to enjoy delicious food while surrounded by people's laughter and joy! I am definitely going there again! read more

This is the type of place you would expect to find in the cities. Everything is well done. Clean and the food is flavorful. The service actually anticipated our needs. Something not usually seen. We will be stopping by again when passing through. read more

Overall we're satisfied with our meal ! We ordered for pick up and it was done fairly quickly. My girls got buttered noodles and Mac and cheese. I felt the portion was more toddler sized than kids size. But they said it tasted good. My son enjoyed the grilled chicken. My husband said the Korean beef tacos were good. My spicy chicken penne was good but it definitely could have been spicier. Overall would definitely consider stopping by again if were in the area. read more

A true hidden gem... if you can find your way past the myriad of big rigs you will find this unassuming little restaurant, WITH FABULOUS FOOD! The walleye appetizer was phenomenal, as was the Reuben, the tacos, the ham and cheese, the... looking forward to passing through again soon! Cheers read more

Maybe 3.5 but staff was great, she was alone on the floor and very busy but did a great job. Drinks average pour and price. Jalapeño won tons a touch crisp but nice flavor, nice sauce and came out hot; a nice app. Fish tacos were ok, despise fried fish, but was hot and nice sized, too much coleslaw on them. Scraped about half off, added fresh pico (from the nachos) and made a nice fish taco. Bourbon burger was very well done, but messy. Fries just average. Prices were average, large clean modern room. Overall worth a visit. read more

We just stumbled across this place as we were staying in a nearby hotel that was walking distance. Nice decor, clean and good ambience. It would be a good place for a date night. We had a party of six, which can be challenging some times, but our server was a pro and did a very good job. The food was delicious and large portions. We had no complaints at all and I would go back if I'm in the area. read more

I found this on yelp, went because of the reviews... did not disappoint. In a strip mall by a truck stop, but once you get inside , very cute, good decorations. We had the burgers, very large, very tasty. Our server was the best I've had in a long time. I can't remember her name, she was amazing.. I think it's my new meeting place for my sisters. read more

Awesome spot that can be overlooked. Ambiance is perfect. Food terrific and service outstanding. My favorite is the peach and shrimp pizza! read more

Food is always good here! The wontons are amazing! I wish they were open on the weekends

Excellent everything. The ambiance is both romantic and business casual. The food is delicious. Beautiful bar. Small but solid wine selection. Highly recommend read more

Really nice service, comfortable, clean & casual environment. Great stop to get gas at Pilot, then pop over for a great, relaxing meal. Would definitely recommend it. We had Cajen Steak Bites, Wedge Salad & the Waleye entree with great mashed & fresh green beans. read more

The food was amazing! Service was great and loved Cindy and Michelle were AMAZING. I will be coming here many times again.

Excellent food and service. Very nice decor. Parking is amble and well lit. Try the beef tenderloin bites or the cream cheese wontons for appetizer. read more

1st time coming here odd location but worth it. Had maple bourbon wings for appetizer very good. I had the chicken casear salad and chicken wild rice both were very good. My date had the Cajun pasta and said it was awesome. Highly recommended if you are near st cloud. read more

Passing through St Cloud on business. Spent a couple days here and found this place. Food was great two nights in a row. The waitress, Morgan remembered me from the previous night. First night I had the Reuben sandwich. Was very good. Second night I had the ribeye. Really good flavor. I'll be back when I'm through town again. read more

What a hidden gem... Wonderful atmosphere and great food.. A must have if you're looking for a nice relaxing meal.. Can't wait to visit again.. read more

This was my first visit to RJ's. The atmosphere inside does not match to atmosphere outside. The decor would be at home in most metro entertainment areas. The jazz playing on the sound system was a nice touch of class. I had the Walleye plate and just like the other reviewer's experience with this dish, it was outstanding. I will be back every time I visit the area. Ignore the truck stop outside, this place is worth a visit. read more

Cabo burger was great. The blueberry sour was fantastic. I will definitely stop again on the next trip to the area.

Great food and great service. I would highly recommend it. Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Well for starters there wasn't any wait, I was greeted by Brittney and she turned out to be a real treat. She gave my seating options and I decided to eat at the bar. I was working so I didn't get to see how great of a mixologist she was. However, she was very attentive and very patient with me since this was my first time. She helped me decide what I wanted to order and made sure my order was right. She was very outgoing and had a bubbly personality. I will definitely return back to this establishment because the Cesar Salad was great and Brittney made my visit very enjoyable. It's very rare to find someone who takes care of their customers in the magnitude that she does, kudos to RJ's and Brittney. read more

Walleye was spectacular! Great food and drinks. Didn't expect much being across from our holiday inn but will be back tomorrow.

We were there with 6 people this past Thursday night . We had never been there and learned about your place on Yelp. Four of the six of us ordered the walleye, per our waiter's suggestion, since our waiter told me the walleye was rated well in MN. We LOVED it ! It was the best walleye I've ever had at a restaurant! I will definitely be back again ! The other two ordered burgers and also said they were delicious ! Our server was wonderful, very attentive and helpful ! All in all, a great experience! read more

A very consistent menu and great spot. Don't let the "strip mall behind the truck stop" deter you.

It's really hard to find a good pork chop well RJ's has a great bourbon pork chop. Perfectly cook and perfectly seasoned. I do recommend the red skinned mashed potatoes to accompany the chop. The wife got the shrimp peach pizza it was spicy and delicious. Great service also. read more

My partner and I regularly stop here to eat nothing has changed over the years except for some of the staff the food has always been good always been fresh it is a gem of a place to eat. You should try it sometime for yourself all I can say is we've enjoyed it You will have to find out for yourself bon appétit read more

We have been to this place a few times since we live close by. It's a basic pub. I like the seperate dinning area for conversation. The booths could use new coverings or a good clean up. They might have done this since we last were there a few months ago but if not... They should. The foid is very good. We never had a bad dish. Staff ate friendly and accomodating read more

Great place. On the outside it looks like the backside of a truck stop. From the inside it is a hidden treasure. Modern bar with an upscale vibe. Great bourbon burger and a must try. You will not go wrong with this place. Go around the truck stop and step into a high end restaurant. read more

WOW. We tried this restaurant on a suggestion, and it was impeccable! We arrived around 5pm for happy hour & an early dinner for the Mister's birthday. My Rum/Diets were fantastic at $4.50 on HH. I ordered the Bourbon Burger and the hubs ordered the NY Strip. Both were delivered in amazing portions (see pics). The burger came with the best French fries my husband said he's probably ever had. The onion tangles were crispy & not even a bit greasy. The burger was juicy and paired with the Bourbon sauce was probably the BEST meal I've had in the last 6 months. The Mister's steak was done perfectly medium-rare and the creamy horseradish sauce was superb. His potatoes were seasoned perfectly as well. It was overall an AMAZING meal. We will definitely be back... very soon! This is the perfect date night spot - great ambiance and very clean. Service was awesome. I'd recommend to anyone in the St. Augusta area, or just passing through. 10/10 rating!! read more

My friend and business partner suggested we go to RJ's to finish our meeting during lunch so I could get to my next appointment. I drove and she told me not to panic as she was navigating us. I told her, "Please don't take me to McDonald's or a truck stop!" She assured me it would be fine. Typically when I'm in St Cloud we go to Jules' Bistro, so I was a little worried as we pulled up. But as soon as I stepped into the oasis (by comparison of the surrounding area), I knew we'd be okay. RJ's is modern and has both a casual as well as a trendy feel to it. The atmosphere is perfect for a meeting or to hang out with friends. The bar area is nice and big if you're meeting up for drinks. Like some of the other reviewers noted, it's as if someone picked up a restaurant from the Cities and set it down off 94 in St Cloud. My friend had the Southwestern salad, which was a very generous portion with lots of toppings. I went for the RJ's Chicken Club, which was just the right size as I was going to be going to two other functions with food involved. The iced tea was very flavorful, too. So don't let the surroundings fool you. And for the quality of food, you'd better pop into RJ's instead of the Golden Arches! read more
