    French Onion Soup
    Kim N.

    We came in for lunch. Ike's. Has the feel of an old time steak house. Warm and welcoming. The bartender was really friendly and helpful. Once we placed out order the food came our quickly and was delicious! Looking forward to returning.

    Cajun Cavatappi
    Mathew H.

    Visited Ike's on September 26 and really enjoyed the experience! I tried the Cajun Cavatappi and the Roadhouse Steak Burger -- both flavorful and satisfying. The burger was juicy and perfectly seasoned, and the pasta had just the right amount of Cajun kick without being overpowering. The service was great -- friendly, attentive, and genuine. Ike's really retains that old-country charm with its service and décor; it's the kind of place that takes you back in time in the best way possible. You can feel the tradition and warmth the moment you walk in. There's also plenty of parking, which makes the visit even easier. The onion bun on the burger -- it was a bit of an overkill and overpowered the rest of the flavors. Still, everything else hit the mark beautifully. Overall, Ike's delivers hearty comfort food, classic hospitality, and timeless character -- a great spot that feels like a slice of the past done right.

    We had an early dinner during happy hour at Ike's and their HH menu is extensive! We were seated in the bar room area which is very close quarters, but I never felt uncomfortable. It has more of a dark and cozy vibe. We had a variety of happy hour snacks and the Guacamole was by far the best item. The wings had a good coating of sauce and a significant side of ranch. I wouldn't recommend the spinach artichoke dip, but we did have to sub the bread for tortilla chips as a GF option. Overall, for the price of HH I was impressed with the food and the portion.

    Grasshopper Martini, Flavor of the Day Sebastian Joes Ice Cream, Chocolate Cake

    The perfect little spot for a nightcap and dessert! We stopped here after dinner down the road in Excelsior and I'm so glad we found this little gem. Best part - they have Sebastian Joe's Ice Cream! Be warned, the portions are LARGE, we definitely could've shared just one of these. GRASSHOPPER MARTINI: Literally a boozey Shamrock Shake! It was so delicious and creamy without being too minty. CHOCOLATE CAKE: The largest slice I've ever seen. Moist and fudgey, reminded me of Portillos. ICE CREAM: The day's flavor was coffee oreo caramel, and it was the perfect blend of flavors. This was my favorite dessert! The old supper club vibe and great, friendly service was a plus too!

    Everytime going to Ike's has been great. The food is always flavorful, the drinks are not watered down, the staff inside are lively and will hold a conversation with you, and the vibe inside is a good mix of working class and reserved. Worth stopping by for a bite if you're in the mood for old school American food.

    Ike's is always consistent and that is something I really appreciate. My favorite things are the ribs, Brussels, cheese curds (with jalapeño jam!), Reuben and carrot cake. The drinks are always good. The prices are good and the service is excellent. The patio in the summer is so nice and the overall feel of the restaurant is cozy and warm. It's a go-to spot for us when we want no-frills deliciousness. Also shout out to Floyd, our recent server whose impeccable service caused me to write this review.

    Live near here but has only visited once and now I'm feeling like I've missed out on a great happy hour spot. We swung in Friday at 4PM and it was busy but thankfully not too busy to grab a table for 3 without a reservation. The service was very friendly and prompt. Love the dark yet vibrant old school steakhouse vibe of the place. Their happy hour menu is extensive. There are 5ish flatbreads and a dozen other options from Guacamole to cheese curds to wings and pickle Fries. We tried the Brussels sports (really good flavor but needed to be cooked a little longer), deviled eggs (loved these but note that they're spicy!), and our new favorite spinach and artichoke dip with their chips. This is the best S&A dip I've ever had. So delicious! And I recommend getting with the chips as opposed to the flatbread. My other highlight was my martini which came with a backup glass so really it was 2 for 1!

    Spinach & Artichoke Flatbread
    Chelsea R.

    Local bar with a good happy hour. Quaint bar setup but bartenders are responsive and personable. Enjoyed the flatbread during happy hour for $9 and it was hot, hearty and the base (dough) reminded me of lavash with its thin crispiness. I recommend if you're going to enjoy happy hour, get there soon. Their bar really isn't very big so snag a spot while you can. Or if you'll be sitting in the dining- reservation would probably be best as well.

    Thin cut extremely charred shoe leather ribeye steak !
    Jacque B.

    I'm not happy with my experience at Ike's. To put it plainly the food was not good. Everything lacked seasoning and most especially salt. I was most offended at the ribeye steak plate. It was 46$ but it was a thin cut steak. A clear rip off. It was FLAVORLESS. All I tasted was charr. I broke down and ordered the Bernaise sauce but the waiter forgot it and she took forever to make the rounds. When it did come my steak was ice cold. So upsetting but the waitress was obviously not able to keep up for some reason and never checked back in to ask if I even like the food. It was so bad. Steak isn't meant to be slathered in steak sauce when the price is 46$. I ordered mid well and if I had known I was getting a thin cut ribeye I would have done mid rare. It was like eating shoe leather. I couldn't send it back because our waiter was slower than molasses. There was not even 5 tables occupied this 4th of July. Busy wasn't a factor in this case she just wasn't good. Nice but not efficient at all. Our table spent 350$ before tip and I can say it was the worst money spent. The kitchen needs to step op their game and the chef needs to reevaluate his design and execution. Both were severely lacking. I do not need to season every single piece of my food. Please Ike's do better for the ones who do have taste buds. You have so much potential.

    Wednesday afternoon at Ike's!

    Service was OK but the food was not up to par. I had a rack of ribs and they were dry and over spiced. Was ill a few hours latter.

    Had a nice lunch here on a Friday. They have a lunch menu $15 but ordered off regular menu…read more I really enjoyed my patty melt. Super good along with good fries. Double patty and two cheeses. Spouse had grilled cheese and tomato basil soup. Thought soup was a bit too spicy and grilled cheese just meh. Would recommend patty melt but would pass on grill cheese and soup. It's a handsome space and very well designed. Restrooms also very upscale and super clean. Plenty of ramp parking This is a great place and reasonably priced.

    We got here around 6 pm on a Saturday and they were running on about a 25 min wait. They added us…read moreto the waitlist, I got confirmation that I was on the waitlist but 40 min later we haven't heard from them... we stopped by to check things out and we weren't showing as being on the list and there were plenty of tables so they sat us. Seems like a bit of incompetence on the hostess's part but at least we got seated. They are very good with accommodating gluten free, in fact their breading on the chicken and cauliflower is gluten free for everyone! They cauliflower was great (in my opinion) but note for those that don't love sauce: it comes pre-sauced! The mussels were good, I had that as my meal, however it was odd that they serve mussels with sandwich bread slices and not baguette.. Overall, it's a nice addition to the Wayzata dining scene; casual but good!

Place was lovely! Seated immediately. Served a drink immediately. Water came quickly. Ordered edamame while I waited for my dining partner. Wow- they were delicious! Then ordered the pistachio crusted walleye BLT with extra lettuce. That was a serious sandwich. Very good but pistachio didn't come out. Everyone attentive and I loved the communication. They had a large party coming in and I had been "camping" while waiting for my dining partner. We agreed to be done before they needed to set up versus changing tables. All good!

    I have been SO excited to try this place as i always drive by it and dream about their cute patio!…read more My friend and I stopped by for a late lunch and grabbed a spot on the patio. Their patio is SO cute with lots of plants, a great atmosphere, and the perfect vibe. The service was also excellent--our waitress was super attentive, checked in often, and gave us some great recommendations. We both ordered vanilla iced lattes, which were good but a little too milky for my taste. For lunch, I got the Thai Peanut Salad, and it was exactly what I was looking for--fresh, flavorful, and light. My only complaint is that I wish it had a bit more protein to help balance out all the veggies and make it a little more filling. Overall, I really enjoyed my experience and will definitely be back to try their breakfast and dinner menus. The cute patio alone is worth a visit!

Clean and beautifully decorated bathrooms, all spaces had a nice feel to it. My burger was custom made and so good, I recommend - medium rare, fried egg, mayo, fried onions, lettuce and cheddar cheese. The servings were hefty and everything was well seasoned and flavorful, even the fries. Maybe a name change like Gold Burger, but I gotta say I might be pooping gold tonight. 5/5 stars

    so this place is an institution in the Glen Lake area. i remember when it was a much smaller place…read morethat served up sodas and beers in frosted mugs. honestly the vibe back then was even better imo. food here is pretty good. they have a solid variety of burgers and other options. it's a good place to go with friends/family, also solo as i've done at the bar a few times. the reason i don't give a higher rating is i feel the place kind of phones it in on weeknights, which is a shame. i try to cut the staff a break because a) props to anyone in the service industry and b) i can understand how they would want to close on time, if not early if/when they're able to on slower nights my bone to pick with the above is that because their close time is open ended on weeknights, it's not always clear how long they'll be open. they run two happy hours, including from 8pm to close. this includes food. as someone who sometimes works later myself (retail, baby!), a later night HH with food is ideal. unfortunately, a couple of times i've arrived after 9pm and been told the kitchen is closed and they're on last call. they're "supposed" to go til 10pm. i realize i may be splitting hairs, but i also think if they wanted to create a more customer friendly vibe, they would go out of their way to stay open. Beckett's in uptown and Meteor Bar in Northeast are great examples of bars, both with food, that consistently go later no matter what. granted they are both in Minneapolis, so different customer base. come here, support this local establishment! they are good, just not great though they could be!! p.s. yes i am writing this from the bar, and just an update: my bill confirmed their happy hour is NOT running tonight. :/ granted the bartender never said there was happy hour and those menus weren't out, so i suspected as much. but i came for the happy hour, including food, and got neither. first world problems for sure!

    This is specific to the Minnetonka location (which is across 62 from Optum in Eden Prairie)…read more Anyhow stopped in and wonderful staff, I mean the girl behind the counter was just upbeat and professional and happy to help and generally very happy overall. I made an order with one change (no butter on the bun) and the chef was happy to accommodate me. The food was great, the service was top notch, the restaurant was clean, and I would for sure recommend this place and will be back. It just seems like everything I ate (from hamburger, lettuce to onions, pickles, etc) were all just super fresh like they cut them very recently and of course they cook the meat to each individual order and I think you really can taste the difference in how fresh everything is.

I recently tried the BBQ Bacon burger and it added a little diversity to the classic cheese burger. The patties have a perfectly cooked sear on the edges and the buns are soft and flavorful. Plus, the veggies I add to my burger area always fresh! The burgers come with fries that are thicker than a shoestring fry, but still crispy on the outside. We ordered to go, but ended eating inside the restaurant. It is clean and the staff was attentive to those ordering in person. Our order was prepared on time and we can look forward to grabbing My Burger again in the future!
