They have a deli, vast meat selection, and hot food to order! They also have lunch specials so there's really never a bad time to come. Everyone who works here is so friendly, willing to offer help, suggestions, and food pairings. There is a small seating area inside but tables available on the front porch as well! Every visit here for us is a treat, but there are a few items that are consistently at the top of our list. I am absolutely obsessed with their pickle roll-up pasta salad. It's uniquely delicious and has that perfect tangy, savory balance that keeps me coming back for more. Their honey dill smoked salmon is another personal favorite; it's incredibly tender with a beautiful smoky flavor and just the right hint of sweet honey and dill. My husband is equally in love with their maple glaze smoked salmon - it's sweet, rich, and perfectly smoked. And for a quick, satisfying snack, his go-to is always their turkey jerky, which is packed with flavor. Beyond the specialty items, their fresh meats are simply unmatched! We've bought many of their steaks, and they are consistently fantastic (highly recommend their NY strips and tomahawks when you feel fancy). No matter how we grill them, they always turn out incredibly moist and juicy. But the real star in the grilling department I think might just be their brats. Seriously, the casing on these brats is perfection - it crisps up beautifully on the grill, creating that satisfying snap with every bite. I've tried brats from so many places, and none come close to the crispiness and flavor of theirs. The quality, flavor, and unique selection here truly make it a standout. This isn't just a butcher shop; it's honestly a culinary destination! A definite must-visit for anyone who appreciates top-notch meats and delicious prepared foods.

Serves very good pizza, tasty sandwiches with spicy chips and flavorful, generous pasta with a slice of garlic toast.. I had a large bowl of spicy chicken fettuccine with a slice of garlic toast hanging off to one side. I found the dish to be full of flavor (and to be fair probably calories as well). I devoured the toast but took home enough leftover chicken and pasta to make a nice meal for later consumption. If dining in one orders at the counter, is issued a number stand and grabs a table or booth. Orders when ready (relatively quickly) were promptly brought out by cheerful servers. Fountain drinks, silverware, plates and paper napkins can be found at a separate stations along the wall opposite the order counter (in the midst of the dine-in portion). Ate here with my son who works nearby (shout out to Wilkes Auto) and two old friends from my college days. All left with satisfied looks on their collective faces. Based upon the number of people milling around awaiting their respective orders as well as the steady stream of customers in and out of the main entrance (on a weekday evening no less) Joey Nova's appears to do a brisk take out business.

She asked if I wanted the receipt. I almost passed then I spotted the thing where you donate your receipt. I donated to a local high school marching band. I was proud of that. The other was younger, still looked like a student who packed and took my bags to the trunk which I popped cause I had to use the rest room on the long schlep back to St. Paul.

Harvest Moon is a small cooperative grocery store/market in Long Lake that provides what the area…read morehas needed for a long time, a place to get groceries without having to drive 10-15 minutes to a neighboring town. Harvest Moon offers "wholesome and organic foods and products - many from local producers - as well as all the things you count on from your grocery: a meat department, deli, take-out pre-prepared meals, even a coffee bar." I have visited this location a few times since its opening in September of 2010 and have always enjoyed my experiences. They have a pretty wide selection of local, organic, healthy, etc food in addition to delicious take-out or dine-in options. The bakery is awesome, as is the deli and the coffee. Its about time Long Lake had a place to get something good, and HEALTHY to eat.

I've stopped into this speedway many times on my way through Mound, MN and every time I've stopped in I've felt like I need a bath. I'll save you from the photos but the 5 times I've been here the bathrooms have never had soap, there is E. coli rings around outside and inside of the toilets. The layer of pee on the toilet and the floor is so thick if you need to use the bathroom you have no choice but to walk on it and deal with the strong ammonia smell.

BUT there is NEVER receipt paper at their pumps so you are forced to go inside for your receipt. Again, frustrating, but still not the problem. I had paid for gas AND a carwash at the pump, & when the receipt WITH THE CARWASH CODE did not print I had to go inside to get my receipt. Unfortunately the cashier could not find my receipt but printed out two other receipts that were not mine then she assured me it wouldn't have been possible to purchase a carwash at the pump. I believed her, my mistake, purchased a second carwash for $14 for which I id get my receipt with the code. I checked my credit card app and realized the pending amounts were both on there INCLUDING the first carwash that I now had no code for. Fine. I took a picture of the gas total and a screen shot of my credit card showing the purchases & went back inside. I was told she could not refund the first carwash code NOR could she provide me with a second code since I now paid for two carwashes. I asked to speak to a manager & was told there was no manager on duty at this time & I would have to come back during regular business hours to get this settled. Fine. I drove around to the carwash & as I waited in line it just stopped working with someone in it! On the following Monday on my way to work I stopped to speak with a manager. The cashier pretended to seek him out, then came back to say she couldn't find him & maybe he was in the bathroom or outside having a smoke. I said I will wait, & let her wait on the customer behind me. Miraculously she was able to find the manager this time & I was told he could only refund the carwash for which I had a receipt EVEN THOUGH I showed him proof I had purchased gas & another carwash. He credited my card for the second carwash, then when he realized I wasn't leaving without the credit of the first one as well he gave me cash from the register for the first. When I brought up the fact that this could have all been taken care of three days ago had there been a manager on duty I was told he was the ONLY manager at this location & said there was no way he could work 24/7. Wow. I realize no one wants to work 24/7 & I suggested maybe they should have a second or third manager to rotate in then to which he said "This is just Speedway's policy, to have ONLY ONE MANAGER at each location!" I am grateful that I eventually got both carwashes refunded, but honestly they all handled this poorly! The first cashier was not trained to handle simple tasks such as locating a receipt, providing a code to replace the first carwash paid for, & refunding the second carwash. On top of that her customer service skills were non-existent. She could care less that she had just ripped me off. And three days later when I was able to FINALLY speak with a manager, after clearly being lied to by yet another cashier who "couldn't find the manager" the manager was rude & I had to repeatedly request him to refund both carwashes since it had stopped before I could even wash my car. This location has Horrible customer service, they are CONSTANTLY out of receipt paper at the pumps, & now this! I am NEVER stopping at this location EVER again! If I could provide negative stars, I would!
