REVIEWS OF Sarna's Classic Grill IN Minnesota

Lisa P

Other restaurants should take a page from Sarna's playbook, if they really want to do things right! The food is consistently fantastic!! It is always fresh, with the utmost quality. We usually go there once a week, and have only had positive experiences. The restaurant is clean, and the waitstaff is friendly.

Jake Blegen

A place that never disappoints, if anything is a skew they will fix it immediately. Do not let the variety fool you everything is good and prepared well. Allergies are very carefully handled and the drinks are mixed perfectly. A MUST for locals to show visiting family and a great place for strangers to feel at home

Ashley Anderson

Great food and drink specials!

Alex Dunbar

Love this place. Always fantastic service and great food.

Sarna's has been our go-to place for all family celebrations birthdays and anniversaries graduations the service can be slow during Peak business time and they have great buffets for holidays as well although those are quite expensive the patio is my favorite and why we always choose to go back

The environment is nice because of the sun.. and the rare warm weather off of University Ave.. but the attentive service for young adult's has diminished. I waited for 20 minutes in a scarce atmosphere to order a drink and an appetizer. A very cute couple whom arrived with their 7 yr old son..10 minutes after me.. got offered to have their order taken right away. I mean, I know I'm dining alone right now, so maybe I don't look like I have enough tip money to present this beautiful blonde waitress, but I actually do! Thank God for the timely customer service in the other restaurant Top Fortune 100 company's! To the waitress that hates her job right now, and who tried asking me for an interview.. Sweetheart, shhhh, I'd never want to hire you with the lack of attentiveness you failed to show us scarce customers'. Other Linked In networks/local Minneapolis/St. Paul restaurant industries will hopefully re-evaluate Sarnas' young staff soon. And literally as I'm drafting this review, the couple/son next to me just said to her.. "I thought you said the food was spicey".. and the beautiful waitress says.. "It is the best we can do, so hopefully you enjoy it". Ahhh! I see why the older generations thoroughly dislike us younger adults. Shame shame. *Customer Edit: Sarnas' appreciated my review and apologized. Thank you for owning up and taking responsibility for your actions. It won't go un-noticed. Updating my star-rating :)

This was okay for a sort of comfort food restaurant. However I paid $6 for a "slice" of banana cream pie to go. When i got home and opened the container, it was simply a pile if Graham cracker crumbs with canned style banana pudding slipped on and huge chunks of bananas cut into it. I'm talking 2-3 inch hunks of bananas. It was ridiculous. I tossed it in the trash after one bite.

David Belille

A good place to eat and good food

Maelissa Larson

Nice place...must have gotten busy all at once because it took awhile for the food to come. I'd go. Again for sure.

Rebecca D

Good food, service, and atmosphere

Anna banana

Lots of choices, they even have pierogies! Great sit down place, went on a sunday around 2pm and it wasn't too full but not empty at all. Service was great, very nice staff. Definitely coming back to try their drinks in the near future ;)

Natalie Johnson

The establishment was pretty nice. The waitress was very knowledgeable but pretty slow. The playlist was very strange, it was a smashup of Tik Tok videos and 1900s music no one remembers. The man clearing the tables was very nice and attentive. The food didn’t taste like anything, pretty bland and unexciting. They were also playing Fox News on the TVs, just a warning. Decent drink specials. Overall mediocre experience, 0/10 would recommend.

Joan Iund

Always great food, atmosphere and sraff.

t kin

Pretty good food, slightly older crowd, and the bar is so-so for the price, but all in all pretty good overall

Heidi Zaworski

Amazing food! We had sandwiches on cranberry bread, incredible! Glass of wine. Service was good. Wi-fi not so good.

Richard Roycraft

Good food but service could be better

Dana Brooks

Beautiful patio, great happy hour prices, & awesome service!

Kelley Francis

Came for brunch. Quite reasonable. The best part was taking home the complimentary cinnamon roll for the kids!

Melissa Kramer

Plenty of options for food as well as beverages to choose from and everything was great!

Jason Penniman

My server was great efficiency

Jer R

Good restaurant that's a little bit of a step up from Perkin's or Applebee's, with decent prices and food that's solid but probably won't make you want to have it be your regular spot. Ok drinks and atmosphere. Would be a good place to bring a group because the menu has something for most people vs the more foodie-oriented spots that get specific and experimental with style and flavors -- Sarna's may not be fancy or too original, but its traditional and reliably predictable, which can be good.

tyron searight

Ask for Theresa service was amazing quick and helpful food was fresh and worth every penny has a classic feel to it but family friendly as well would definitely do it again.

Lakenesha Wilson

Sarna's is great! The staff is friendly and the food is very good. Nice decor and relaxing. I highly recommend this place to anyone.

Lorri Burchett

Kind of expensive... other than that, it's good. Oh, but the name means 'scabies' in spanish. Therefore you might not see slight a lot of Spanish folks around.

Loretta Aanenson

Good food - good ambiance - good service

timothy lindstrom

One of my friends invited me to have lunch with him. He had bought a BMW Motorcycle from me back in '03. I would tease him as I could have sold it on C List for double! We ate inside. Late Fall so outside eating looked inviting but northerly breezes would have cut short our lunch. Great food and the wait people were courteous. I need to call him and meet him there this coming Fall!

James Steinert

Very nice place to go and eat

Benjamin Tucci

Like their food. Good steaks

T Wright

Sarnas's has decent food. I don't go there much because they stopped doing all you can eat crab legs and crab leg dinners on Wednesdays

Angela K

Lovely cozy restaurant. Wonderful service. Sad to report that our food did not meet our expectations. We visited this restaurant for the first time last Sunday around 4:30 PM. Our waitress was prompt and polite. She brought our drinks right away and notified us that appetizers were $3.00 off for happy hour. I ordered a Mr. Pibb and my friend ordered a fancy martini. The appetizer we ordered was the PIEROGIS. We did enjoy these very much. For dinner I ordered a special that was beef enchiladas served with tortilla chips and salsa. The enchiladas tasted pretty good, but they were served not even what I would consider warm. We had plans to see a show at the Orpheum that night, so I got up to find our waitress to have my food warmed up. The waitress apologized, and took my plate to the kitchen to warm up my food. She returned shortly. Unfortunately, my food was still not hot. When our waitress came back to check on us, I told her my food was still not hot but that I would try to eat it as we had a show to get to get to. My friend ordered the fettuccine alfredo with broccoli and shrimp. She made a comment that the alfredo sauce was super runny . She showed me with her spoon and it looked like soup. My friend said her food tasted fine but should have been cooked longer. Towards the end of our meal, the waitress offered us anything from the desert menu for our experience. We decided on the chocolate mousse cake. Sadly, the cake was really poor quality. I had a couple bites as to not leave a huge piece of cake on the table. It honestly was not worth eating. Our bill came to about $55.00 plus tip. My friend and I were really disappointed with our meal. We chose Sarna's as we wanted a nice dinner before seeing our show. Even though our waitress was understanding and kind, we would not choose this restaurant again. The food quality just isn't there.

Lynn Nehring

Good restaurant. I think one of the nicer restaurants in the northern suburbs.

Sabrina Starborn

Great food. Great drink specials. Great atmosphere. Only giving 4 stars due to slow table service. Bar service is beyond great though. Come for atmosphere, stay for the drinks and your bartender.

Becky Tungseth

Great family gathering spot. They were able to accommodate our impromptu family dinner with 10 people. Delicious food with something for everyone.

Bob Melgeorge

Great weekend brunch buffet, but it's the only thing they serve at that time. Nice patio. A couple good happy hour drink specials. Food pricing skews a couple bucks high on everything, I dont think there's anything on the menu under $10.

Mark French

Sarna’s is a great place to eat. Very nice atmosphere. The staff were very friendly. We had to wait to be seated, but not very long. They do take reservations. The food was very good. As busy as they were on a Friday night the food came out fast and hot. We didn’t feel rushed. I would recommend the place to anyone.

Beth H

Good food and a great atmosphere to chat.

Eric Hanks

Excellent food and service!

Kristen Swanholm

The custmer service is exceptional

Tim Ruet

Always a good time, great food and drink not to mention great prices. Staff was very helpful in recommending the specials and very friendly

Jacks M

Sunday brunch buffet has so much to choose from. Regular breakfast items as well as prime rib, fried chicken, ribs, pasta, salads, and desserts.

Dawn Senensky

The Bird is the Word special was a summer delight and the walleye sandwich was perfect.

Mr O'Brien

Great brunch! a little spendy but the with the quality of the food, its understood and justified!

Jim Keehr

Wait staff was great, prime rib sandwich horrible.

Peg C

We went for a get together that turned out to be a huge mistake. The pa system was so loud it was impossible to talk to anyone across the table and that would be only if you yelled. Making mention to two employees did no good. We were not able to enjoy our food. It was so loud in there that it hurt and we like others just wanted to leave. We ate only half of our meals and left.. There was no excuse for management to let this happen.

TM Evenson

As usual the food is very good as well as the service. Food and beverage prices are reasonable. My friends and I meet here once a month at least 8 months of the year; especially during the summer. They have a great patio area for eating dinner outside on a beautiful day.

brian phillipp

It was good food they were able to take care of our birthday party group very well.

Nic A

Great local restaurant. Their food is good, they make good drinks and the staff is great. This is one of favorite places to sneak away for a drink and bite to eat when hiding from my family

Nancy Trimbo

Awesome place first time there. Great food. Great service.

Nathan Guse

Good food. Not blown away but good food.

C Bowen

I always stop by purchasing some food in this place. I enjoy the fast service and well made food. 5 stars.

Dana Jones

My husband and I went here to eat a few weeks ago. We had the ribeye steak which was very good. Very good Martini. Best steak we've had in a long time. Very nice atmosphere. The waitress was very kind. We definitely will be returning.

Betty J Price

Their breakfast buffet is fantastic. This is a great place to meet family and visit over super good food. The cinnamon roll is delicious.

Mark Dean

Good service, variety of choices, casual atmosphere, great patio for outdoor dining

Wendy Brandt

I truly enjoy this place. It is a large space but feels cozy. The food is very good, excellent crab leg special on wednesdays for only$20. Good drink specials as well. And I love the kielbasa and pierogies! Hint, avoid bourbon and go with the Titos vodka drinks.

Cecilia Rosales

Burgers were saggy, undercooked, over priced... service was slow... Honestly not coming back!

Kiki K.

Sarna's is a really great restaurant! Their homemade food menu sets them apart! They have a great, dog friendly patio, with a small waterfall and plenty of tables. You can also see the outline of the downtown Minneapolis skyline. Very friendly staff. Highly recommend.

Imogene Wargo

Last time I was here the food was amazing This time it was way over cooked

S Bokelhe

Great food! Great service

jeff schoppers

Had the shrimp tacos. They were delicious. Price and service was fair. I was visiting the sportsman show and stopped by for a quick bite. Will be back next year.

Christi Trochinski

Kids portions are huge! (Max & cheese and spaghetti at least) Had prime rib special...very good. Had fries which were nothing special but loaded mashed looked delicious!

Dan Poynter

Great food. Good service nice atmosphere.

shantishante

Fantastic brunch! Everything was very good and the service was excellent.

Tom Maher, Cpcc

Great food, great atmosphere, great staff!! I always have a good time there!!

Shawna Middleton

The Korean tacos were amazing! And the deals were really good too! Took advantage of getting a beer and their $10 dish.

Adam A.

First time at Sarna’s on 9/7/19 at 1:25pm; it wasn’t very busy. We ordered hamburgers and fries. They took nearly 35 minutes to arrive. Our waitress apologized once. Burgers were just soso, nothing special. Our server did comp one beer to compensate for our meal taking so long.

Wayne Metzger

This buffet is absolutely thee best I've ever experienced!!!!...the food ..the incredible service..the employees are top tear!!!!

Maybeyourdaddy ?

Amazing brunch buffet here on Sundays, I think it cost about $20, but it was delicious and worth it.

Ross Perleberg

Nice staff and pleasant dining but food is just not good value. The entrees we got were not worth the price, not even close.

Heidi Kaminski

Food was good, decent wine selection and friendly staff. For a Sunday night the was no wait for table. I had the salmon.

Meme Brownie

Lord what an awesome Brunch... Little spendy, but that's the icing on the cinnamon roll I guess.. Seriously though the cinnamon rolls are huge!!

Betty Dueffert

Great food. Michelle is the best waitress I've ever had anywhere. She suggested the raspberry salad and its wonderful. The chicken salad sandwich on cranberry bread is the best!!! You won't be disappointed. It's always busy but is a large restaurant so can accommodate many.

Kimberley Thompson

Stopped by for a lovely stuffed burger. Service attentive...but not hovering. Always straight forward food done well.

Lori Koppie

They have a fabulous Sunday brunch you shouldn't miss.

Sue Jones

Good food. Wait staff attentive, timely, and friendly.

Alexander Swann

Best bloody Mary deal on the weekend! Fun spot

Big Bug Lil Bug

The staff was very friendly and attentive. Decent tap selection. The food was ready fairly quickly. Expect to spend around $40 per person. Maybe $50 if drinking.

Val III

We used to go there a lot with my folks. Lately it has been really hit or miss with more misses. The brunch buffet however is amazing, only reason it has stars. Fix the lackluster food and we will be back for lunch and dinner, not just the buffet. The staff is always great, happy and helpful.

Randy Bjornebo

The bartenders have been cranky every time I've been there. But the wait staff is pretty good. Lacks a friendly feel.

Jason

Great lunch, fast and friendly

Gerardo P

This place is worth giving a shot. They have large portions for affordable rates. Always well organized and with excellent atmosphere. Will come visit again.

angie niznick

Great service, great food! Fun atmosphere (especially on bingo night!)

Bryan Jorgenson

Awesome place...wide open ...but for a person who has some hearing issues it wasn't bad in the booths...the service was excellent.. friendly ..the food came quick..even when the place was busy..and what can I say about.....perogies

Sheldon Mcmillan

There service was great, there customer service is awesome I'll reakmend sarna's to any body

twalsh1023

Advertised a gluten friendly menu, but a good portion of gluten free offerings were fried foods. I asked if they had a separate fryer for gluten free. They did not. So gluten free menu not safe for celiac disease. They were still willing to work with me and my restrictions and food was tasty. But they truly have no clue what gluten-free means.

Duane H Mandery

Fair place to have lunch. Price's are a little high. Good food though.

Paani Fox

Good place,classic American meal very sweet,you guys need to try...

Crystal Thielen

I was skeptical about trying a new place however, I absolutely loved this place! The wings were amazing and the service was above and beyond. Our waitress's name was Dawn and she was super on top of her game. I appreciate the great food and service, we will definitely be back again soon!

Lisa Weese

Great food, great prices, great staff

Keith Rowland

Always love Sarnas! Food is awesome! Best wings!

Kenyatta Martin

Nice after church place to visit... Good food...

Maureen O'Connor

Great service and atmosphere, very clean, delicious food and drinks. Order came out very quickly and exceeded expectations!

Aaron Caulfield

Awesome food and service.

Laura Oldenburg

Good food, comfortable atmosphere. Love sitting by the fireplace. Great brunch.

Kevin D

This place is great! I thought it was going to be way more expensive than it actually was. I had the Thai lettuce wraps with peanut sauce, and it was just as good as similar meals that I've had at Asian restaurants. Highly recommend!

Steven Wietecha

Fantastic food and great service. Met a friend there for dinner and spent 2 hours catching up

Linda Leach

Always good food. We went for Sunday brunch but I've been in on Saturday afternoon and the bingo is fun!

Corrah Hintz

They have a great Sunday brunch and awesome patio for food/drinks

Charlie

Eat here often. Always great and consistent!

Rebecca Stangl

I live close so it's convenient. Bartenders dont wash there hands, even after several drinks, handling money, touching their face, bartender checks his phone almost everytime he pours a tap. He has glasses he touches every minute. Food is pretty cooked you can tell the mac and cheese comes from a bag. Been here over an hour and haven't seen a hand wash at all. Kinda gross. But.... pizza is okay, and I come back cause I'm in walking distance...

Laura Peasha

Great food. wonderful patio. terrific service!!

Kelsey Baustian

Sarna's is always packed on weekends, so be aware. Service is friendly enough, food is a good value. I'm never unhappy with what I order here, but I'm never thrilled either. Solid choice of restaurant when you want decent food.
