So considerate, I was asked, "Do you mind waiting 5 minutes while I make your order?" Then we had a great conversation about giraffe preserves on the Somalian/Kenyan border-- a beautiful story from a young man who graduated from Johnson HS. The store was bright colored and really casual. What a great restaurant to have in the Payne/Phalen neighborhood!

I can't even say I "checked in" here. Sis and I wanted…read moreSunday brunch and I saw on FB post that they had affordable brunch options. Plus, I've wanted to try this place for a while. Parking was easy on the lot behind the building, next to the Big White House. The building must be having renovations as there was scaffolding all around it, with a main staircase entryway covered to protect people from things falling. We walked in and I was impressed by the look of the entryway. Rich architecture history from the old post office. We waited for a hostess to either take our name or bring us to a table but no one ever came. There was 2 women with 2 kids sat at a low table in the entryway, near the bathroom. And I could see the dining room filled with families with little kids. I observed that no one was eating but had water glasses filled. I saw a little boy (4yo??) walk out of the dining room, across the front entrance behind the hostess table and down an empty corridor.... no adult?? And then I watched one of the women at the low top table get up, walk down that same empty corridor and come back a few moments later a little perturbed. She muttered something to her table mate that piqued my interest. After seeing their empty water glasses and milk cups (kids), I asked if THEY had been served yet. The other lady said they had been waiting for over an hour. Everything was starting to add up. No one was eating. We hadn't been greeted after standing there for about 10 mins. I never saw any waitstaff either. Nope, not gonna do that. And we walked out. Maybe I'll try again, maybe I won't. Time will tell.

The group sat in front of us received their dinners at 9:30 PM. We ordered two Ribeyes and a Filet steak dinners. Filet was 1" thick max. The ribeyes arrived in three pieces, cooked on all edges and definitely not to ordered temperature. Who precuts and cooks a ribeye steak like that?!? Brussels sprouts were burnt on one side. Service provider disappeared for 20+ minutes at a time. Disappointing all around. I would not recommend this place!

Went for brunch as had a gift card I needed to use…read more First off this place is way overpriced for the quality of food and service it's supposed to be a "healthier" style restaurant but fell flat for me They have bottomless mimosas, 3 different flavors classic OJ,grapefruit and pineapple First off the menu states it's cheaper than it is $14 but the server told us ahead of time that was a mistake- with inflation the price has gone up to $18 but I don't think it was worth it - also they didn't taste good at all and not served in flutes either more like a water glass Huervos rancheros- this actually was tasty and a good size portion but over priced and then I tasted it the whole weekend so it didn't sit right- I think it was the chorizo Husband tried the chicken wrap - he said it was good but it comes with a side salad no other choices like chips etc so lots of salad in the wrap and on the plate We also shared the homemade biscuits - thinking we would get more than one- that was a little arkward and overpriced having to share just one with some runny jam? The interior is very inviting and they have a small bar- not many menu items tickle my fancy - would prob stop by the bar for HH or their patio if in the area but pass on the food

(I didn't rate for this, but it would be nice if they played Somali music, and had Somali videos of the country, or Somali music videos on their big screens)

This restaurant seems to be very new. I had to drive around the building twice to find it…read more The person at the register was very friendly and was accomodating to my meat preference. I wanted a gyro with chicken and though that wasn't on the menu he was like I think we can make it happen and they did and it was great! My friend ordered the goat and rice meal. As someone who has goat fairly often I do prefer the meat to be sessoned in such a way you can't really taste the goat. Which they delivered. I am not sure which seasonings were used, maybe a hint of cinnamon but it was good. Just a heads up to people who don't like to eat meat off of bones, this is probably not the meal option for you. They only offered plastic utensils which were pretty hard to use with this type of food. I think maybe this food is intended to be eaten with hands, but silverware would be a good option to have on hand for those less accustomed to using hands. The booth seats are very modern and unique, I would love to see some taller tables to match the aesthetic, just a tip.

You can get to this restaurant either by land or water, but there is limited dock space so you have to get there early in order to park your boat. The helpers that are on the dock are very efficient and kind and help you with your boat. The atmosphere is completely outside with umbrellas to cover the seating area and we had live music, which was very nice. The food is fine for pub food, and the drink, which I had a margarita, was excellent. Service was friendly and efficient, but it was the atmosphere of being lakeside without any hassles of life that made it absolutely worthwhile! There was no rush at all to leave our table and that made it very relaxing. If you are ever in the lake Minnetonka area, please check out the Caribbean Marina and Restaurant because it will definitely bring peace to your mind, if only for a little while! Safe travels, and go make some amazing memories!

It is quite small inside and is definitely not suitable for large groups. I also felt the seating prioritized style over comfort. This is your typical millennial trendy burger joint that serves water with no ice in a small glass, has higher prices for the portions you are getting, and seems to just have one or two people working. Service was a little slow as it picked up around dinner time. For food, I got the dry rub wings and mac n cheese. My friend got a burger and chips and queso. The food is pretty good. I liked the wings, they had quite a kick to them, and the fries and queso were good. I was not impressed with the mac n cheese. Since Rockford is a small town, I am sure this place fills a void with the limited options they have but I also don't need to return.

Longer version: This place is located in a strip mall that kind of looks run down. Do not let that stop you!! There is actually a really pretty park across the street if you do want to take your food to go. The inside was very clean and put together. There isn't much for decor but it felt like your standard "hole in the wall" twin cities hispanic restaurant. Parking is free. The service here was terrific!! I felt like I was honestly apart of a family! I was check in on multiple times! My server was very polite and friendly! Very enjoyable! The food: I got pupusas (cheese) and they were soooo good! The cheese pull on these were great! If you have never had them, it's kind of like if a corn bread pancake and a slab of mozzarella came together! You can get these stuffed with beans and meat as well! I also got the quesabirria tacos! Now I have been to tons of places in the twin cities for quesabirria tacos and dare I say these are some of the best in the twin cities!!! Oh my goodness!! Absolutely delicious! And the consume had good flavor as well! Packed with meat and cheese! The salsas were excellent and had a great heat to them! Their horchata was also very refreshing and I would definitely recommend that as well! This is a smaller business with a great menu, friendly service and decent portion/price ratio! Don't sleep on this place!
