That's super nice and gave us somewhere to sit down. It's bigger than it looks from the outside. There was plenty of room I noticed when walking in and out. The wild rice soup is pretty good and a little different. Saw a lot of people ordering that. I chose the Porterhouse steak with Mac and Cheese and Broccolini. Steak was good and seasoned pretty good but was cooked past medium, I think. I love Mac and Cheese, and I thought it was pretty good. Should maybe come in a separate dish, though, because steak juice was mixing into it. It's just a pointer for people who might not like that. The broccolink was okay. I guess I'm not a fan of it. Cake tasted good, but it was a little dried out. The apple tart was absolutely delicious order that for sure. I would go back because the Outlaw Burger sounds so good.

We really were set on the duck wontons for a starter. They were of course out of them! So sad. So we tried the fried mushrooms. They were horrible! The batter was hard and when you cut into it the mushroom just fell out of it. The batter had no seasoning. For entrees, we tried the pork chop and airline chicken. Everything is woodfired so it all tasted like it was grilled. I didn't mind the pork chop. The "jam" on it tasted just like bbq sauce. The airline chicken was seasoned with rosemary and was a little dry. The sides were absolutely horrible. Icecream scooped mashed potatoes....(that's all I have to say about that). The risotto was so plain and wasn't creamy at all. Needed wayyy more Parmesan, garlic or butter. Nothing was seasoned. The coleslaw had no taste. The zucchini squash mix had no seasoning! The glazed carrots just tasted like carrots. Just everything was a little disappointing and unimpressive. Service was flat and simple. Prices were overpriced.

During the late afternoon it's a fairly bright and family friendly spot, but I have been to the one in White Bear Lake at night and it was very dim and moody later in the night; great for a date! One glass of Apothic Inferno Red Blend for me. A glass of Chemistry Pinot Noir for my guy. I have to say that I have tried their Signature-Tinis at the White Bear location in the past and thought they were fantastic. Cute, fun and delicious!! Our wine came out fast, and soon we were greeted by our server. He did not introduce himself, he was super quick to just ask if we were ready to order. I am not sure if this is because he is busy, or if it's early and the mood of the restaurant isn't fancy enough for him to be more inviting yet. We did have our orders ready so we're able to list them off to him quickly. He did not ask us any questions we just knew the information he would want so gave it to him; such as how our steak should be cooked and what sides we would like. We ordered a Valentine's Day special appetizer - Baked Brie with Raspberry and Baguette We ordered the Grilled Vegetable and Bull Bite salad to share. We both ordered the Valentine's Day special appetizer - Grilled Filet and Lobster. Mine rare, my boyfriend's medium rare. I chose smashed potatoes as my side and he chose quinoa side. After our disappointing experience with the person that took our order, we were greeted with the server that would be taking care of us for the evening. He was extremely pleasant. Immediately introducing himself, James. Told us that his co worker had took our order and that I was in and asked us what wine we were drinking. He was very friendly. I felt better about the experience after this, because if that first guy was our server and that was the kind of experience we were going to have tonight I would have been extremely disappointed. Especially after I've had good times at the White Bear location and talked this place up to my boyfriend. Baked Brie with Raspberry and Baguette - I loved this appetizer. Beware it comes with Walnuts if you are allergic. I was able to scrape the off the top of the Brie before eating it and survived. The gooey center was perfect for their tiny crostinis. I could eat this all day. Grilled Vegetable and Bull Bite salad - not enough grilled vegetables all I found was asparagus and onion. Although the blue cheese and salad dressing were incredible. Grilled Filet and Lobster - They had our steaks mixed up but that was no biggie. My rare steak ended up on my boyfriend's plate with his quinoa but we just swapped them. The steak was good but nothing impressive. Smashed potatoes - same, the green beans had an interesting twist that I felt like resembled more of an asian style dish, so an interesting combo. The lobster was cooked to perfection and was AMAZING! Great job on that!! My boyfriend's quinoa side was way better than the smashed potatoes on my plate so I'd recommend ordering them as your side dish. We didn't have enough room for dessert but if I did I wanted to try their Valentine's Dat special crème brûlée.

I have always loved the ambience here Husband ordered a bowl and said it was ehhhh I ordered the margarita pizza. Nothing about this was a margarita pizza. Didn't even have red sauce. It was just a pizza. It was most certainly edible but the garlic olive oil was a little much for me. I really dislike it when restaurants give you Parmesan in packets. You serve pasta you serve pizza you should have real Parmesan available. Service was slow we had to ask for our water to be refilled more than once, and we sat with a dirty plates for about an hour. It still does a good business after all these years it was pretty busy. We were seated rather quickly when we arrived at 5:30 but not a place that I would go to again, but it did bring back nice memories.

If you live in the Lakeville, Apple Valley, Eagan, or Farmington area, it's absolutely worth checking out. The food is consistently excellent, and the menu has a great variety, although I almost always end up ordering the barbecue because it's just that good. My favorite item by far is the smoked chicken wings with the dry rub--they're some of the best wings I've had anywhere. The ribs and brisket are also outstanding and never disappoint. The service can be a little hit or miss depending on the day, but the quality of the food keeps us coming back. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, whether you're grabbing a seat at the bar, settling into one of the comfortable booths, or enjoying the patio on a warm summer evening. It's great to have a restaurant of this quality so close to home instead of always heading into Minneapolis or St. Paul. We've been back many times and will continue to be regulars. Highly recommended!

The atmosphere was comfortable, inviting, and just seemed like a fun place to enjoy a great meal and drinks. The menu was incredible!!!!!! There were so many dishes we wanted to try that it was hard to decide! We had the opportunity to chat with the chef/owner, who was incredibly friendly and gave us some recommendations. We ended up ordering the Korean Stir Fry and the Mexican Tuna Roll Sushi, and both were absolutely phenomenal. The Korean Stir Fry was an easy 10/10, and the Mexican Tuna Roll Sushi was one of the best and most unique dishes I've had in a long time. LOVEDD! Our service was attentive, fast, and genuinely friendly. The bartenders and staff were all welcoming and made the experience even better. It's CLEAR they take pride in both their food and hospitality. If you're looking for a place with amazing food, excellent service, and a relaxed, fun atmosphere, I highly recommend checking out Red Fox Tavern. We're already looking forward to coming back and trying more from the menu!

The sentiment echoed by all at our table. We had an assortment of entrees including burgers, pizza, pasta and salad. Two of us had different versions of the Mac and cheese. The worst we have ever had. There was only a few flecks of cheese. Very dry. I asked for extra cheese sauce and they gave me a small amount that was very thin. The Philly Mac had very dry beef with no discernable flavor. Higher priced for poor food.

It is a cute hole-in-the-wall-ish kind of bar that has been kept in great condition. We liked looking around at all the pictures and autographs on the walls. We happened to catch a brand new waitress on her second day on the job. She did admirably. The pizza had a nice thin crust and was cut into little squares that were bite-sized for me. The sauce has a kick, and there was a good amount of sauce on it. We got a large bacon, mushroom and black olive pizza, and our only critique was that we couldn't really tell that there were mushrooms on it.

But I have to say I was very disappointed with the lacking amount of portions they give for the high amount they charge. For 6 tacos ( small amount of meat in the taco) 2 sodas and one birria grilled cheese ( barely any meat) it was almost 85$.. not including tip. The patio is covered in webs/ dirt and is super small so you're sitting back to back with people that are dinning in the patio. The birria grilled cheese is my favorite and has a unique flavor, along with their salsas. But again it barely had any meat. I think this place has potential but isn't worth it for the prices for now.

The Burger Monarchy: A Paradox of Plenty in Miesville In the…read morequiet, pastoral stretches outside Eagan, there exists a roadside institution that defies the modern trend of curated minimalism. King's Place in Miesville is a relic of a different era, a burger joint that functions less like a restaurant and more like a high-volume assembly line of Americana. The menu is not merely large; it is an overwhelming, multi-page manifesto of beef. With roughly 80 to 100 variations on the burger--many named in tribute to the local Miesville Mudhens baseball team--the experience begins with a bout of genuine decision paralysis. For the average diner, the sheer volume of choices feels like a dare. It is a place where you can find almost any topping imaginable, which makes the absence of a simple fried mushroom all the more jarring. It is the one note the kitchen fails to hit in an otherwise exhaustive symphony. When the food does arrive, the logistics are the primary entertainment. The floor staff at King's Place perform a nightly feat of athletic grace, weaving through the crowded, character-filled dining room while balancing five or more burger trays at a time. It is a spectacle of efficiency that puts the sterile, automated nature of modern chains to shame. However, one must navigate the side dishes with a discerning eye. While the temptation to "upgrade" is always present, the seasoned waffle fries are an investment that yields little return; they are best skipped in favor of the standard fare. The real value here lies in the core product and the refreshing lack of pretension. Despite the fame and the daunting menu, the pricing remains stubbornly reasonable, a rare feat for an establishment that has transitioned from a local secret to a regional landmark. "Life is too short to miss out on the beautiful things like a double cheeseburger." -- Channing Tatum For those seeking the predictable polish of a franchise, King's Place will be a confusing sensory overload. But for the traveler who values soul, speed, and a price point that respects the wallet, this is a kingdom worth visiting--just don't expect to find a fried mushroom on your plate.
