Favorite local restaurant (non chain)?

What is yours?

Personally I really like Black Sheep Pizza in Mpls for lunch and La Grolla (on Selby in St Paul) for dinner.

 

someecards.com - I support Newt Gingrich's idea of colonizing the moon if it'll help me get away from Newt Gingrich.

    Pablo's in Shakopee has good Mexican.

    Saffron in Minneapolis.  The head chef was even recently on Iron Chef America on the Food Network.

    Ichiban (technically a chain, I think, since there are three or four locations) in Minneapolis.

    Haha! Love the sensoring, Bump. Not. Stick out tongue

    Yeah, Canyon Grille is great, we went there for our post-civil-ceremony dinner. Tanner Station in Andover is awesome too. Other faves in the Twin Cities include Cafe Ena and El Meson, Cupcake, Big Ten subs, Town Hall Brewery, and Truffles & Tortes.

    Not exactly a restaurant, but I've had some very good food from Common Roots (coffee shop) in Uptown.

    Donatelli's - yummy!

    Paninos - I know they have a couple locations, but they are a locally owned placed, and so yummy

    House of Wong in Roseville - huge variety of food, large portions and the best lo mien (imho) around

    That's all I am thinking of that hasn't already been mentioned.  All of my choices are family friendly, because, well, we don't get out much without Liv anymore, lol

    I haven't been to Tanner's yet...we don't live in C.o.o.n. Rapids anymore, but we're in the area pretty often.  I've heard they are good.  I also want to check out Paddy Wagon's Irish Pub
