    I've been wanting to try North Star Donuts for years and just haven't been able to. However, Saturday my friend and I attend Excelsior Art on the Lake and I was SO excited to finally try these mini donuts. Extremely disappointed. Hardly a taste and barely any sugar on them. I had high hopes and unfortunately, I wouldn't waste my money on the mini donuts ever again. I actually threw them in the garbage (I've never done that with a precious mini donuts!). My friend did love the frozen lemonade. I tried it and the best I've ever had. Would get that again. Service was fine. It was a beautiful perfect day by the lake and the sun was shining.

    Apple Cider Slushy

    Visited the North Star truck at the Minnesota Applehouse! I got an Apple Cider Slushy $5 and one dozen Apple Cider donuts $8. Both were amazing!!! By the taste you can tell the apple cider slushy is probably purely apple cider blended with ice. It is not that sugary and is really just delicious. The drink came with a paper straw which surprisingly held up for at least an hour! I was shocked. The Apple Cider Donuts were fresh and warm in a bag. They were tossed in the cinnamon/sugar right in front of me right after I ordered. These were really soft, warm, and tasty!! Will definitely get these again next time I see North Star!

    Always great option for food truck if your looking for something street. Friendly staff, fast service and fairly priced!

    I Love North Star donuts!!! Can't get much better than hot fresh apple cider donuts!! The apple cider slushy sounded amazing but since it was a colder day I opted for the cider which had a perfect sweet tanginess. The drive out to the apple house in Victoria is so beautiful this time of year too!!

    Lemonade slushees

    The apple cider mini donuts are so good that I've driven an hour for them before! A craving needs to be satisfied. The lemonade slushees are very tart and very sweet at the same time. They are served in a plastic up with paper straws. My paper straw kept breaking so that was a bummer. Eventually the slushee melted and I was left with normal liquid lemonade lol. Maybe bring your own straw?

    I have to add that the apple cider flavor isn't overwhelming at all it's an essence that you also smell in addition to taste.

    Greatest food and seriously wonderful tater tots. Great parking…read more Get there early on weekends . There's a nice parking lot behind the restaurant with lots of free parking

    I was looking for a new and exciting brunch spot and for some reason we always forget that there…read moreare a ton of restaurants out in Wayzata. So I found Benedict's online and thought it looked like a good choice. The restaurant itself is really bright open and airy. Lots of natural light and high wood beams. The restaurant employs an online wait list, which I love. So you join the wait list online, it tells you how long your wait is and the you can plan your arrival to minimize your wait. I was surprised that on a Saturday, we walked right in and were seated... it wasn't all that crowded (that said, there was a big No Kings rally that day so people might have been busy). At any rate, we were greeted and seated immediately at a nice table. I enjoyed the many options on the menu and also loved that you could order a single specialty pancake if you wanted one. I ordered the classic benedict. My husband got the tot hash. We ordered a strawberry nutella pancake to share. The pancake was good, though honestly the nutella strawberry topping was a bit meh. My husband said his tot hash was not what he expected (they seem to make their own tots and then deep fry them) but he did like it. My benedict was decent, but there was way too much ham and not enough hollandaise. I hate when people are stingy with the hollandaise. Coffee was good and strong. My peach mimosa was fine but honestly pretty small -- I'd be surprised if it was 8 oz. Service was OK. Nothing super major to complain about, but my mimosa wasn't delivered until I was almost through my first cup of coffee. The waitress clearly just forgot about it. She basically said so and apologized. I noted that many tables had lovely little bottles of water for when you wanted to refill your glass, but we did not receive one. It also bothered me a bit that there was a lot of "stuff" on the floor. Trash, bits of food, etc. I know that things get really busy at brunch spots on the weekends. But someone really needed to go around with a broom or a vacuum. It's just not what I expect from a dining establishment where I'm going to drop $80 on breakfast for two.

    There is a reason 6Smith is busy. We made a reservation for the patio and even in 90 degree weather…read moreit was comfortable. They have big umbrellas, fans and the water to keep things cool. The most uncomfortable thing is finding a place to park. If you can't find a spot in the lot, tracking down a street spot that isn't only 1 hour can be a challenge or a bit of a walk. We started with cocktails and Bread is Life appetizer (5/5). Bread is indeed life. We needed two baguettes to eat the three butters/sauces. The whipped ricotta and honey was my favorite, but the chimichurri was a close second. For entrees we split the Beet and Watermelon King Salmon Salad (3/5), A Fat Burger (5/5), Chilled Lobster Roll (4/5), and the Spicy Lobster Mac and Cheese (5/5). The salad was good, but the salmon didn't have enough seasoning for me. It's also more of a traditional watermelon salad vs lettuce salad. The lobster roll was good, but of course mostly bread. It was a hardy sandwich and filled more than other restaurants. The burger was in fact fat, cheesy and juicy. The sandwiches come with hand cut fries (5/5) and an aioli. While the Mac and cheese says it's spicy, it's more of a Minnesota spice. It's a shareable portion, but no more than 3 people if they have other food. For dessert we ordered the Mud Moon Pie (4/5). When they say it's served with a knife they mean it. The portion size is huge! Like 6-12 people could eat on it. We ended up sharing with the table next to us. We were warned it was shareable, but I wish there would have been a smaller portion option to select. We felt so wasteful not being able to eat even half of it. We loved our server. We never felt rushed, our water glasses were never empty and she split the bill with our individual dishes and then split the shared items (I love when they do this vs giving us one bill). While the prices are a little high, the portion sizes and quality of food make it worth it.

    Not sure why I went back maybe I thought time would make it better. Ribeye was good but 6smith…read morecould NOT cook a Potato!!! First serve was extremely Buttery and a pound of garlic swapped for another kind it was worse watery like mushroom soup - Jezuz!! Tried to order bottled Beer 3 diff kinds they were OUT - GIVE me Budweiser - thanx - at the end they forgot to remove the failed beer attempts from the bill. Server never came back hunted his az down. More trouble than it's worth Steak & Potato at home EASY.
