Meat and eggs, we got kielbasa, was good as well though we didnt care much for the american fries, they were kinda soft and needed a little more cook time as with the english muffin which could have been a little more toasty. The inside space is a lot bigger than you would assume from the ouwell. Prices are very reasonable. Plenty of parking in the lot. Service was good as well.

Everything seems fresh and homemade. I LOVE hot turkey sandwiches and consider myself a turkey sandwich snob because the quality of different restaurants vary so much. Carol's is the real deal with obviously hand-carved pieces of real turkey that are as good as Thanksgiving leftovers from your mom (assuming your mom was a great cook). The gravy, mashed potatoes, stuffing, and cranberry sauce were equally excellent. My wife had a tuna sandwich, and a cup of tomato soup. Service was quick and friendly. Although the inside of Carol's reminds you of Perkins, the food quality is consistently high. I have not been here for breakfast, but that seems to be another of their specialties. It's impressive to find an old-time, high quality, high variety diner experience in town (well, almost in town) and I'm so happy that places like Carol's still exist.

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!

The food was incredible, the space was perfect, and the staff went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. One of the best features is that you can open the doors to a private outdoor patio area, which gave our guests even more room to gather and enjoy the day.

You sit at a table and order off your phone, and servers will bring your food and drinks out to you. Had no problem with that, it was a fairly easy process. Our servers were kind and I believe we talked to the owner for a bit who was attentive to all the tables! The food is the disappointing piece. I had the chicken rojo avocado tacos and they really lacked flavor. There was plenty of chicken in such a small tortilla, which made the taco fall apart as you ate. My sister ordered the pesto Mac and cheese with chicken and it was okay, but the chicken was not good. I didn't try the tenderloin bowl, but it seemed to have better reviews than my meal or my sisters from my family. I don't make my way out to Blaine often enough to try again, but I think this would be a better spot for pizzas and milkshakes.

We've…read morenoticed it countless times on our way to Hajime next door, so we figured it was finally time to check it out. The restaurant was understaffed - the bartender was not only running the bar but also serving the entire dining area. We sat at the bar and waited about 10 minutes before being greeted. We also overheard a nearby table voice frustration about the slow service. We're pretty patient, so it wasn't the end of the world, but it was noticeably slow. That said, once we were helped, our server was friendly and attentive. I ordered a Spicy Margarita and my husband went with an Old Fashioned. My margarita was on the weaker side; not bad, just forgettable. My husband enjoyed his Old Fashioned. For food, we tried the Bang Bang Shrimp, Thai Chicken Lettuce Wraps, and the Crab-Stuffed Portabella. The standout was definitely the Bang Bang Shrimp; we both really liked it. The lettuce wraps and stuffed mushroom were fine, just not dishes we'd return specifically for. The overall vibe was calm and low-key, and the staff was kind despite being stretched thin. I'm glad we gave it a try, but it's probably not a place we'll be rushing back to.

We didn't know what to expect and it was a creamy cheesey dip - almost like queso. It was really good! I had the roasted cauliflower salad. It was an interesting combination of cauliflower, greens, tomatoes, almonds and avocado. It was delicious! I loved it. My husband had the bacon wrapped bison meatloaf and it was amazing!

The corned beef hash was delicious and the eggs were perfectly runny while the whites were crisp. This corned beef hash and the one at Ideal Diner are my two favorite corned beef hashes in the metro.
