Restaurants Across the Lake Communities
From beloved breakfast spots to downtown dinner destinations, the Twin Cities lake communities offer a surprisingly strong dining scene. These are curated picks from a 56-year Long Lake resident — not a Yelp-style exhaustive list.
White Bear Lake Area
- The Oasis — Beloved local breakfast spot. Generous portions, welcoming atmosphere.
- CG Hooks Eatery — Slow-smoked BBQ, craft cocktails. Great after a day on the water.
- Downtime Woodfire — Downtown White Bear Lake. Wood-fired dishes, craft cocktails, date night.
Mahtomedi
- Broadway Pizza — Neighborhood pizza joint, family-friendly.
- Red Savoy Pizza — Minnesota chain with thin-crust, sausage-loaded pies.
Stillwater
Stillwater has one of the strongest dining scenes of any small town in the metro. The downtown district concentrates restaurants along the river bluffs, with everything from casual pubs to upscale river-view dining.
