If you have an extra 45 minutes to spare just to get your food, this is the place. Their drive through is a disaster

Probably the messiest Chipotle I have ever been in, always food on the floor in the back that customers can see. They never clean up the spilled food around the things where they are serving out of and always other foods spilled into other things, if I'm not asking for corn I don't want it in the sour cream you just plopped on my food. Very unappetizing when you see that read more

The worst service! I sat there for 15 min before anyone helped me. The woman at the register just walked away and started talking to people and it sat empty for 15min while food was piling up. I asked one employee if she could check me out, she was VERY rude. She said that the person at the register had to help me- even though there wasn't anyone there! She said it wasn't her job. I only needed a gift card. The only person busting their butt off was a guy named Zeb (I think that's what he said). Retrain your employees, Chipotle and give Zeb a raise. read more

This place need some serious help. Filthiest Chipotle I have ever been in. It goes deeper than just customers leaving a mess on the tables, from the tables, floors, bathroom, windows and doors nothing was clean. No ice in the pop machine. We've heard this same complaint from countless others, we won't be back. read more

The only thing right about this order was it was on time. Three meals and not one thing was correct. Well...my daughter got extra guacamole. Everything else was a complete mess. How the store has survived this long is beyond me. chipotle Corp. do yourself a favor and shut this sucker down. I just hope we don't get food poisoning. read more

Worse experience ever. The restaurant is so dirty it should be reported. We waited online for 1/2 hour and they tell us they have no meat ready. There were 8 people working and 3 of them were walking around not doing much. I will never go again. It is really disgusting read more

We have about a 10% success rate with this location. They don't know the difference between Corn and Flour tortillas. Almost every one of our orders through Chipoltle Lane with corn tortillas has been flour tortillas. Today I had to wait 3-4 minutes for the white rice. I watch as one of the workers was dishing up the rice from the big vat and she see kept grabbing a handful and squeezing trying to determine how done they were (my expectations were lowered at this point) she walked away and another worker came and got some rice and added the other ingredients like cilantro. And when I ate, the rice was way under cooked. The owners of this store must be the worst Chipotle owners of any store. I can't believe Chipotle has no quality control with stores like this. read more

No longer can they use Covid as an excuse. Purposely avoided this newer store since my last review in Jan 2021 expecting them to improve and meet the "Normal" level of performance as all other Chipotles. Took my family here last week and did not use the app as that never has worked out at this location. This is our first time at this location in over a year and if it is possible, it has gotten worse. As we are ordering our food, you see the appearance of the rice. beans, and meats along with the add on's (cheese, sauces, lettuce) all look bad. You can see meats, rice's, and beans are mixed with one another in the pans. The sour cream has other ingredients floating on top, over all it is very un kept and concerning. The majority of the staff look like un-feeling robots with zero interaction with their customers. We paid for our food and could not find a clean place to sit- the majority of the tables were open and all were extremally dirty - clearly not wiped down in hours. This was around 3pm and there was no lines of people to order. It appeared they had plenty of staff - you could see a lot of laughing, socializing behind the counter but no one working other then the ones making orders at the food area counter. The drive through did not seem to busy either. In the dining area, multiple windows have food smeared on them- I am sure this is from immature customers but wouldn't a manager want to have a clean restaurant? Where is the ownership? Going on 2 plus years of horrible reviews on Yelp and Google- maybe time to close the doors and let another franchise try it. read more

This place is absolutely gross!!!! Dirty!! The person behind the counter had gloves on, gave the person ahead of us change and then put that same hand in to the lettuce bin to top our food. This is so wrong!! I will never ever go into this place again, and will tell everyone I know to not go there. How can you employ people like this. They acted like they hated being there. This will definitely be reported to the health department. You should be shut down!!! From the looks of other reviews, you should have minus stars because one star meaning not good is too good for you. read more

This is my first review ever. I literally made a longing just to write this it was that bad. I normally just don't go back if it's not good. I think people need to be deterred from this place. It is absolutely disgusting. Trash all over the floors, all of the meat was burnt, extremely slow service, and food debris all over every part of the stations and even all over the cashiers counter. Most of the bins of food were all empty. I watched a worker walk to the back room to get cheese four times while I was in line. This place looks like the parents are out of town and they left the kids the keys. Either that or it's a front to some money laundering. Nobody would actually run a business like this. Unreal read more

This place is so bad there was the longest hair in my food multiple times. When I went there there was only 1 clean table food all over and it seems like one cleans there.NEVER EVER GO HERE read more

Slowwwwwww pickup was supposed to pick up at 11:45 sat in like for like at least 20 minutes

Worst Chipotle in the Twin Cities. Orders are never correct, food is always cold and the service is terrible. The owners should be embarrassed. The only reason I keep ordering is because this is the only one I can get door dash delivery. Otherwise I need to drive to WBL and pick up myself. As soon as another one opens closer, I guarantee this Forest Lake Chipotle Weill lose a ton of business. read more

I love Chipotle and was super excited for this location to open. Yes, it opened during the corona but they're still doing online order and curbside pickup so YAY!.. or NOT. The online order app was on zzzz (asleep, not taking orders) when we got there at 7:45. We were assured it would be back online at 8pm because they were catching up after a crazy dinner rush.. or 8:15.. or 8:30. We finally went and picked up 'other food' and decided to eat it in the chipotle parking lot so we could watch the drama unfold. Car after car drove into the parking lot and was assured by a 'guy at the door' that they'd be taking orders very soon. Car after car waited and ultimately drove away with no chipotle. The app stayed 'asleep', no food came out, and cars went away hungry while the restaurant had in excess of 8 employees inside. What a total fail. read more

This is my first yelp review and Im Minnesota nice. This is the WORST place! So dirty!!!! Manager should be fired asap. We've given it 4 tries but 45 minute wait for an online order after it's supposed to be ready. That happened twice recently. Tonight they had NO guac NO black beans NO fajita veggies NO sofritas?????? Too lazy to cook? So disgustingly dirty. Never again! Don't go here!!!! Get new management! read more

Terrible service. As I was sitting eating, somehow all of the doors locked. I got up twice to let guests in and informed the staff all the doors were locked. Nobody cared. One female was on her phone listening to music and another shrugged his shoulders. The employees don't care, and with all the food options, especially a chain as popular as Chipotle, I have no reason to come back to this location. read more

Staff seems uneducated on how to properly make traditional Chipotle guacamole. Mine had quarter sized raw onions and cilantro in it as well as stale chips. Unimpressed by the new Forest Lake location, tho much needed in the area. Bummed out. Hope they can get it together because it would be a gold mine read more

Food was good staff was friendly. Saw at least 7 employees in the kitchen so looked like an adequate staff from my point of view. Premises was a mess. Only 1 or 2 clean tables. Napkin holders were completely empty. Worst part was the station by the cash register. Cheese, salsa, lettuce etc. spilled over the counter flowing onto the pay area. Very unappetizing and probably unhealthy. Meat station right before this was neat and clean. Appears the manager whoever it was has no pride in keeping all the staff up on things. read more

20+ year fan. But at FL stopped ordering meat after three fat chunks and a huge chunk of cartilage. Then the last three orders have been 20+ minute waits. Every other chipotle is normal. Until you can get your quality and wait times under control shutdown your drive thru. Lost my business. read more

I've done walk in and online order/door dash and never had a problem. Food has always been fine. They seem to move too fast and miss small details (ie ordered a few large queso and a side of salsa and chips yet ended up with only one small bag of chips), otherwise I haven't had a problem. read more

If I could give it a zero I would. They messed up my order multiple times and moved like sloths. It should not be that hard to throw some food in a bowl. Also messed up multiple gift cards read more

Waited in the drive thru pick up line for nearly 30 minutes (no joke) for an order we placed ahead of time. Food was obviously cold. All we got was a "sorry for the delay" and $45 worth of cold food. read more

Only 5 customers allowed in the store at a time. But out of the dozen or so employees working there, half weren't wearing masks or gloves. Where's the consistency? read more

Ordered 2 burritos online I pulled up to the window and ended up waiting about 27 mins till I got my order, employees were standing around chatting and having a great time not even considering customers, one employee was even making herself a burrito, when I got home my burritos weren't even correct they didn't have most ingredients I had ordered and were ice cold! Stay away from this chipotle it sucks! read more

We got a to go order. The wrapping wasn't even done complete. The containers were open and or smashed. The food was cold a d not very good. There was very little meat in all the items. Quality was poor and seems to be that way with all Chipotle's these days but this one is the worst I've been to. read more

Don't waste your time or money at this Chipotle, it filthy, food on the floor, all over the counters where they are serving customers. It takes forever to get your good, and then it's not good. read more

I love Chipotle but this location is really bad, they are always closing early due to being short staffed, and they are constantly running out of product leaving you with limited choices. The poor kids that work here don't seem to have any direction from any kind of management and you can tell they are exhausted from apologising to customers about absolutely everything. I really feel bad for them. We will continue to go to Chipotle, but just not this one. read more

This Chipotle has never been that great of a stop for food, but recently the quality has fallen off a cliff. This specific location has had a lot of trouble finding workers, and honestly, at this point I just hopes this place closes and another business can take this spot. read more

Kind of a bummer first time at this location. Very little of each ingredient and paid extra for only a tablespoon of queso. Both the bowl and the burrito were like this. Come on now. read more

Chipotle Mexican Grill - Burrito bowl - Fast Food Near Me - Forest Lake, Minnesota

Went there at 4:00 pm on a Friday and they were closed. Pathetic. This Chipotle is consistently understaffed and offers sub-par service.

Constantly under staffed and very slow. I've found chunks of plastic in my food... They hardly give you any meat which is ridiculous considering how much we pay. The workers try their best but they probably have some of the worst management I've ever heard of. Multiple Times there has only been one employee in the entire restaurant. Chaotic, inconvenient and much more... read more

I ordered a chicken burrito bowl.. and it showed up for delivery and it was just rice... I tried calling and contacting the store multiple times and they hang up every single time and the only thing they gave me was rice... the rice wasn't even cooked like cmon give me my money back or send me my order that's correct this time read more

Don't get your sauces or sour cream in a cup! They'll charge you $1.00 a piece without letting you know. While I've always loved Chipotle, I will not go back here after this over charge! read more

Ordered online for a 12:00 pickup and was sent around the drive through 3 times before my food was ready at 12:10. My rice and meat was mildly warm and by the time I finished eating it was cold. This is the second time I've had cold food at this one. I always park in the parking lot next to it to eat as I have a longer drive home so it's eaten right away. read more

If 0 stars were a thing that's what I'd rate. There were two employees that spoke the the guest for the in person shelf pick up. Only 2 people talked to 2 customers twice while i waited in line for a refund. I waited over 45 min, with no help from anyone in the store my husband finally reached them over the phone to get our refund. Finally an employee answered and I watched her write down our info and put it behind the register, not even giving it to a manager or anyone. So we left. Super unhappy with the service and lack of communication. I will eagerly be waiting for my refund hoping to hear from anyone from this store soon. save yourself a lot of time by not dining here. Oh and the pictures of all the employees talking to each other in the back are almost comical. You have time to chat with your coworkers but not talk to one customer.. makes sense. read more

We are almost a year into Covid so that is no longer a valid excuse for poor service. 2nd time in a row where I put in an online order for pick up at the pick up window and the order wasn't even started when I got to the window 2 minutes after the pick up time that THEY GAVE ME. So I was asked to pull into a pick up spot beside other vehicles that had apparently fell upon the same fate as I had. Nearly 15 minutes later my food was delivered to me. At least the order was correct. The only weird thing is there was lots of lettuce in our guacamole in the cups for our chips. read more

Hi all, ordered food for my wife and in through the App at 530pm sitting outside the restaurant. Very few cars around the building at the time. Picked up my order, was concerned that the bag felt light. Opened the items at home and found that my burrito bowl was missing the cheese, both salsas, the sour cream and the guacamole. Called store and picked up new burritos bowl. The order was put in the wrong size bag so when I got home, all the ingredients were smooshed to one end of the bowl and stuck to the lid. We also found when I got home for the second time that the red salsa for the chips I ordered was less than half full. read more

First the app wouldn't allow me to pay part of the order with a GC and the remaining balance with a cc. I literally ordered for pickup while sitting in the parking lot and chose the fastest pick up time (15 min) at 8pm on the dot I pulled up to the drive thru and was told someone else had already picked up my order. No apology. I was then told they would remake the order and to pull into a designated parking space. 10 minutes later food was brought out to my car. No apology. Also, no silverware to eat the food (two salads). Will not be ordering from this location again. Ever. read more

This is the worst place to go. Drive to Blaine one if you can Forest Lake doesnt care and they've messed up on our orders and no one ever answers the phone when you call. Why order online if they cant follow directions they add whatever they want in the burrito bowl also not having a way to remedy their mistake without driving back. read more

I've given this chipotle multiple chances to change my mind but this place is an absolute joke. Never have a gotten my order correctly here since the day they opened. Doesn't matter if it's the busiest time of the day or if you're the only one there. Today we ordered our food online, to be picked up at 12:45 got to the window and they didn't have it done, once again waited over half an hour. Once we finally got our food and got home we realized they forgot all of our chips and queso and two of the 4 meals were wrong. I've been to chipotle's across the country traveling for work and have never been to a place more disorganized than this.I will never be going back, I would rather drive 45 minutes down to Blaine and go to that one. read more
