I have been going to Wildfire for quite a few years now. I used to think you got a lot of bang for your buck here. However, our last few meals and service have made us reluctant to even go back. Steaks have been ill prepared, sides were below par and service just wasn't what it used to be. We used to go here 2-4 times a month in the fall/winter months, but every visit this spring/summer gets more and more disappointing. I hope they can get "it" back soon! read more

I made the mistake of ordering one of the chef's specials, parmesan crusted cod. What a greasy oily mess. My business associate ordered one of their signature specials, scallops and a fillet. The scallops were over cooked and greasy and his steak was served rare when he ordered it medium. For a place that is supposed to be a "chop" house, somebody needs to go to Chicago, Kansas City or Omaha to see what a real chop house is. I will not be back with any clients. read more

Always consistently good.... Service matches the food quality. Love the chopped salad... The onion bread... The filet! The happy hour is also good with the apps and drink specials. Dark cozy steakhouse kind of ambience. I always enjoy this place! read more

Absolutely love this place. We both had the filet and it was one of the best we've had! Melt in your mouth!! Our server was an absolute delight and was helpful in making recommendations. Nice ambiance! Plenty of parking in the Eden Prairie lot. read more

True to its name, the food is wild and fiery. All options are great

Supper club feel. Make a reservation to avoid the wait. Service is good but food is just really ok. I had the bone in filet, and it was just a hunk of meat that wasn't cooked evenly throughout, some spots were medium as I ordered and others were well done. The sides were good but for the cost I would rather go to Mannys, Capital Grille, or Ruth Cris. read more

I went to Wildfire with my associate provosts, sr. vice provost, and another dean. This place is good... but not as good as Pittsburgh Blue. The food is tastey but the steaks need to be better seasoned. The roasted veggies were good.. and so was that chocolate and peanut butter dessert... I may go back but I won't pass PB to get there. read more

Was there twice in one week and all I can say was it was very underwhelming. The time I was there for dinner we found hair in the chopped salad. Although the manager was nice enough to offer us freebies it ruined our date night. Then since it was close by we chose to go for brunch. They missed the fruit on our kids order and the eggs were made over easy twice when we specifically wanted sunny side up both times. I have been there before and had great experiences but not sure why the restaurant is on the downhill. Not going back for a long time. read more

I love this place. I even joined their frequent dining club. The Parmesan crusted steak is my fav. Last couple times I went for lunch and got the mushroom crusted pork chop with mashed potato. Yum! My spouse got the walleye and Cod and loved both. Not loving breakfast for the kids however. One day super runny scrambled eggs which had to be sent back, the next day ordered pancakes which came out with chocolate chips! Ugh, then we were charged extra for the chocolate chips we had not ordered. No time to complain with the kiddies so just paid the extra dollar. Plus the diet coke was out! Wah! Had to get wine instead, oh well. :) Overall dinner has been better than brunch. We will be back. read more

My wife has Celiac Disease (and has to be gluten free) and is a vegetarian. She did some internet research and came up with Wildfire for a recent weekend visit to the Cities. This restaurant exceeded both of our expectations in just about every category - drinks, food, and service. We called ahead and made reservations, told them about our food restrictions, and had a gluten free menu at the table along with gluten free bread. I can't remember the last time a restaurant brought out gluten free bread. Her goat cheese & beet salad, gluten-free pasta with veggies were both fantastic. My spinach & bacon salad, Filet Mignon were great, and the gluten free chocolate lava cake was a perfect end to the meal. The only downsides to this restaurant are negligible - it's in a mall and it's pricey, but we'll absolutely be coming back next time we're in the area. read more

Have been here several times before, but, this time, the restaurant was disappointing. The food was OK, but nothing special for the high prices. Service was only fair, with no willingness to adjust to our needs. Very noisy environment- impossible to hold a conversation across the table. Also, the booth we were in was cramped. For these high prices, there are many better options in the Twin Cities area. The hostess was NOT at all welcoming. We will not be going back. read more

Lunch 5/25/14 - Ordered Chopped Salad and an Arnold Palmer. Chopped salad was moderate in size, salad arrived at the table warm and wilted. Flavor ok. Overall a very disappointing. Overall: Sat on the patio, very nice atmosphere for a partially cloudy humid day. Recommendation: Don't order the food, it sucks. Go for the patio atmosphere. Order a simple appetizer that they cannot screw up. If you are foodie, don't bother with this place. read more

This restaurant was awesome! They have great food and drinks. The walleye fish dish with Scottish potatoes, salmon kale and spinach lemon salad and the filet wedge salad are all amazing. Service was great vibe was great. read more

This is my favorite restaurant in Minnesota when I want to have a nice dinner with my extended family. Their family style servings simply cannot be beat for the amount of food you could get at that price. Especially when I'm comparing this to the NYC prices I'm so used to. Lots of yummy options to satisfy everyone at the table especially with the choice of two main entrees, deserts, apps, and salads. The service has always been excellent and the chopped salad is a must have item. The food is always good and the ambiance is nice. Is it a Michelin star restaurant? No, but I bet if you put one of these fine establishments in NY, it'd have no problems bringing in the business. read more

My boyfriend and I decide to try this place out because everyone told us that it is pretty good, but a plate is pretty pricey, regardless I wanted to try out. I loved the atmosphere it seemed like oh this is for people for dates, special occasions, business. We went around 12PM and it was already packed, but we did not have to wait and we got our seats pretty fast. Our server gave us this corn bread? and my first though "wow. another place that gives free bread."We ordered the calamari and we got a pretty decent proportion for what we paid for. I ordered the coconut shrimp and my boyfriend order the steak fillet mignon or however they spell it. Wow.. It was like less than 6 pieces of shrimp and my boyfriend was very upset for how small that steak was and how much he had to pay for. We could've went to outback steak house and paid the same price for the same exact food, but have the steak be bigger there. We asked for A1 sauce and our server said okay and we waited a good 10 minutes before she came back and she was like "I forgot let me go grab it." Then when we finally were done we just wanted our check and we were just looking around for her and we couldn't find her then a good 20 minutes she came back she showed us the dessert and you know at this point my boyfriend and I were just so impatient, but we assumed "hey its dessert they possibly cant take long to make" WRONG WRONG WRONG. It took about 15 minutes for it to come out along with the check. We thought this lunch would be maybe less than an hour. I'm pretty sure we were there for two hours. We finally got our check and remember when I mentioned the "free" cornbread? NO! NOT FREE. They charged us for the damn nasty bread that we didn't even ask for. Our server put it down, didn't even mentioned that we were going to be charged. Overall. I am honestly never going back there for any type of event with family or friends. read more

Place is a little expensive for the quality of food. I did a take out order and my meal was just slopped together in a take out dish. If you eat here you need to eat in but beware the time it takes as well as the massive amount of tip expected read more

Great food. Great service. Dinner for three on 12/31 at 4pm (beat the crowds). We ordered three different steak entrees (porterhouse, filet mignon with Parmesan crust, and Basil's Burgundy sirloin tips) and they were all excellent. Calamari appetizer and Au Gratin potato side dish were both really yummy, too. Our server was friendly, professional, knowledgeable and helpful, and clearly likes what he does and who he works for, too. We will be back, because we did not leave room for dessert and the key lime pie looked de-lish! read more

Celebrating my dear wife's 72nd birthday with our son at Wildfire. We don't go out much to eat unless it's a special occasion. We had wonderful food, friendly service and a relaxing time because of the warm and inviting decor in the Duke Ellington room. Everything was perfect. We are not steak people so we had very well prepared fish. I had the eggs and walleye with oven baked potatoes. It was great. read more

i had wanted to pick one last place to eat before the year ends and my husband and i agreed on wildfire! my work has ordered from wildfire several times and was slightly disappointed so i have never wanted to go back but my husband's workplace have dined in and have catered there several times and he absolutely loves it.. i was hesitant but told myself that it's always better to go in and try the food versus ordering takeout.. let's just say i was impressed! i had made reservations the day before we were there on the 30th of december.. as much as we wanted to eat out on new years eve, we were just too busy.. we ended up getting there 10 min early.. it was dinner rush hour.. there were a fair amount of people waiting.. we got a pager and waited 2-3 min before our buzzer went off.. awesome! we were seated in a nice big booth and from there on, our waiter (Jon M.) made us feel so right at home by taking care of us and recommending some items.. there was even one time when we were about to take a selfie when this guy wearing a light blue shirt (supervisor/manager?) came and asked if we wanted our pix taken.. he told us that he used to have an iphone but switched over to samsung (boo! haha!).. he did such a great job in taking a pix of us! so grateful! but anyways, as for our dinner, we started off with a bowl of chili.. i had ordered a premium margarita and the parmesan crusted cod with au gratin.. my husband ordered the 10 oz prime rib with mashed potatoes.. we finished off with a half chocolate cake.. the chili had chunks of steak in there.. that was wonderful! the premium margarita was good.. my parmesan crusted cod was good.. i thought it might have been a little more cooked than usual.. either way it tasted good especially with that lemon sauce.. i mean holy moley did i want to lick my plate.. the green beans was stringy.. i normally peel the string off the side of the green bean so i don't run into this issue.. but the green beans had great flavor.. my husband loved the prime rib.. the horseradish could have been a lot spicier and thicker but it did just fine as we both finished our plates.. and who serves a half cake? i mean that's pretty awesome! i wished more places served a half cake.. that chocolate cake was beyond delicious and super, super moist! at first i thought it was a scoop of ice cream with their cake but it ended up being whipped cream.. i was disappointed for a few seconds until i tried their cake.. from there on out, i fell in love.. i am soooo glad i dined in.. it was well worth it.. i will definitely be coming back! read more

See all

Excellent restaurant with excellent food...try the dill crusted walleye! SUPERB! I have been here on numerous occasion and have always been treated great with absolutely no issues with the wait staff. They are pretty on-top of things, which I very much appreciate. And they are also good at making recommendations, if needed. Wanted to also mention, I was flying back from business a couple of years ago on Thanksgiving, so made reservations here in advance as I would not be getting in until late. My date and I were pleased to have a nice turkey dinner waiting for us that was not 'buffet style' like most of the restaurants around. I would highly recommend Wildfire, and would not even hesitate to spend another holiday with them! read more

Best short rib I have ever had., no lie! The atmosphere is really cool, like 50's starlight themed and made me feel really classy. Great sound system, great service from our waitress, absolutely delish lemon meringue pie and just a really satisfying meal. read more

THANK YOU to Jason (Manager) who followed up with me after this review. Appreciate your customer service! We have had good experiences before our last (1-2 in 2014 & 2015) but this last Saturday night's visit was a surprise. With a reservation, our family, including seniors who could have benefitted from a spot to sit, waited almost a half hour for "our" table. We were told upon our group's arrival that our table was being set. It was a cold evening and we were left standing in front of the door opening and closing and cold wind chilling us to the bone. Once we were led to our table we found we were being sat at a round table that would have been better for approximately six people, not eight. There were a couple people in our group that could not even move their chair a comfortable distance away from the table to seat them self. Ice water was brought immediately, just what we wanted after standing in front of a cold door. We were left with only the meal menu - no wine or beverage menu. It was a noticeable period of time before we had a waitress. Once she arrived we had to send her away to grab a wine and beverage menu and wait longer. She tried to offer us a couple suggestions without the menu but we were not interested in that. Our waitress was very pleasant, maybe a bit forgetful as I will point out later. Each of us went to order our meals - three of the eight of us ordered items that they were out of. Seemed surprising that on a Saturday night they would not have seafood pasta or ribs. We had two children in the group that ordered buttered noodles. Cooked pasta came without any butter or topping. Our kids managed through it. For dessert we ordered four desserts for the table. Only three of them were brought. The waitress did comp us on the dessert she forgot. Overall it was really a subpar experience at what should be a nice restaurant in Eden Prairie. Our meal for the table was in the hundreds of dollars. It was not like we chose to go out somewhere like Outback or Olive Garden. We will try Wildfire again but hopefully we won't have this kind of experience or it will be our last. read more

Not bad food, but pricey. I had the Wednesday special barbecue. The ribs were fall off the bone tasty, but the pulled pork and brisket were very dry. Tasted like they sat under the heat lamp too long. read more

Great place for good steak. My steak is always cooked perfect and the waiters are very knowledgeable about the whole menu and can always recommend a tasty wine. read more

Have been there maybe a dozen times over the years and never dissappointed. I consider it a reliable stand-by when steak sounds good close to home. This specifically is for my lunch today with a large group from work. I had never been for lunch before and was impressed with the service. We sat down; bam! order taken. Done eating, bam! plates gone, bill served. I avoid certain restaurants because I know they don't know how to cater to worker lunchers as myself that are busy and don't have the luxury of 2 hours. I will consider them for lunch again. Oh yes, my cod was fantastic. read more

I have been here three times and have enjoyed it very much. Perfect place for a date, business lunch, etc. LOCATION Great location as part of the Eden Prairie Center, however, it does not have direct access to the mall...which is fine! ATMOSPHERE Very relaxing and nice decor. The waiters and waitresses wear matching uniforms. SERVICE Stellar. Upon entering you are welcomed and sat down at a table. The servers go above and beyond to make sure you are doing well. FOOD Excellent! I'm not a fan of ordering salads when I eat out, but they have the most amazing chopped salad. It's a must! They also bring cornbread to the tables and it is awesome. read more

Horrible about everything! I have no words to express my bad feeling about this place please contact me if you would like to know more do not go and eat at this restaurant read more

I haven't eaten steaks all across the country, at very expensive restaurants but I have never had a more flavorful cut than the CharCrusted Bone-In Ribeye! You must try it! read more

Went here for company holiday lunch. Ordered the mushroom crusted fancy pork chop. It was ok, probably wouldn't return. Service was good, busy at lunch so food took awhile to come out. read more

This chain restaurant does a lot of things right. I have eaten here multiple times, and the food is always good. It is styled after a classic steakhouse. On my last visit I ordered the scallops which were tender and had great flavor. The bar service was average at best, which at a place like this should be one of their strengths. This is a good choice for a meal in EP if you are wanting to spend a little more than normal. read more

Food was amazing! Had the BBQ chicken, with the right amount of spice. My husband and I fought over the leftovers!

I rarely give 5 stars....for lunch i give them 5. Liz the server was totally knowledgeable and on top of her game. Food was tasty and filling and the price was fare. Excellent for lunch i think dinner might be good too read more

This was a good place to eat but not great. Service was borderline- We had made reservations and they tried to seat us at a 4top by the entrance that was arguably the worst in the restaurant. We ended up in one of the open booths. None of us had silverware or settings by the time the first course came so I got up and helped myself to silverware from another table. The food was good but not great. Small chop salad was plenty for 4 people and the seafood bisque was good. Walleye had a great flavor but was overcooked. Portions are huge- 1 order was enough walleye for 2 people easily. Augratin potatoes were fine, mac and cheese was ok. Overall good, not great and they could easily do better with a few improvements instead of just overly enormous portions. Would rather go to Kincaids in Bloomington. read more

You can't go wrong with the Wildfire. Shared a chopped salad with my wife. Awesome salad and I could have been content with that. But no, I went ahead and ordered a bleu cheese stuffed burger. Wow!! Out of this world good. A bit messy and the waiter did warn me to cut the burger in half to make easier to eat. Fries were OK. Sat in the lounge area and watched college football while we ate. Service was impeccable. One of our favorite spots to eat in the Twin Cities. read more

Went here on a nice family dinner. It was EXCELLENT! Wonderful service, wonderful wine, food was amazing. Several people had the walleye and said it was the best they've ever had. I had the pork chops with the mushroom crust. So good. I wish I had saved room for dessert because that looked great, too. Worth every penny. read more

Wildfires is our number 1 choice for my wife and I to celebrate life achievements! We have been going to this fine restaurant for several years. The staff is exceptional and the food and menu amazing! I recommend the Filet mignon trio with choice of toppings. A signature plate at Wildfires. We both agree Wildfires is the best in the Cites for a steak dinner. The menu has so much to offer to all. We are recognized by the friendly staff whenever we go as frequent diners. The atmosphere is warm and inviting with traditional dark woods and decor. The restaurant has a full staff that is at our table with every beck and call. Wildfires utilizes a real wood fired cooking ovens which in our experience brings out the best flavor in the menu options. We wish there was another Wildfires in the Minneapolis area, however, we will drive the extra miles to Wildfires in Eden Prairie when we both are seeking a memorable and exquisite dining experience. read more

My honey and I went here for his birthday dinner and absolutely loved our experience. Kevin was our waiter who we just adored! He was very attentive, helpful and sweet. The ambiance is romantic and quiet. Kevin left us to enjoy our meals and made sure we never had a dirty plate left for even a minute. The food was Delicious! Highly recommend! read more

Excellent just perfect. Try the bone-in filet mignon you owe it to yourself. Along with a wine flight and you can go home happy.

Absolute favorite place to eat. The fish, especially the halibut, is out-of-this-world delicious. Also love their filet mignon which is so tender you can cut it with a butter knife. Makes my mouth water just thinking about it! My lunch favorite is the "Wildorf" salad with chicken, and is the best lunch salad I've ever tasted. When we have friends in town that we want to take out for dinner, this is the place we go. We are never disappointed. Reservations are a must. They are always busy, even on weeknights. read more

Just finished dinner here for a date night with my husband. Mike was our server and was very attentive to us through the evening. He gave us several suggestions as well as we were browsing through the menu. Our plank salmon and potato crusted scallops melted in our mouth! We will be back real soon! read more
