Reviews for Machine Shed Restaurant Lake Elmo in Lake Elmo, MN

Cool family restaurant with a big menu and buffet. Our waitress was super nice and I loved the French fries.

We typically go there about 3 times a year the Pig's Eye Riders RC does the Adopt the highway trash clean up on I 94 along... their strip and we like to support the local establishments. Their brunch buffet is an excellent. Highly recommended Read more

Food was ok. Prices were reasonable. Chili was a little cold, but very good. Beer battered fish was a little greasy, but... tasty. Broiled fish was amazing. Sides of bread, Cole slaw, and apples were incredible. Place was very busy, and servers wereoverwhelmed. Service was friendly, but a little slow. The table next to us got the wrong food. We were lucky to get therebefore the rush. By the time we left, the wait was so long that people were leaving. I would say that they should hire morepeople, or train the bussers to serve when it gets busy. I would consider going back to try the prime rib special or the soupand salad bar. Read more

Good good. I had the chicken fried steak. Tasted freshly made, gray was ok but could have used more. Hash browns tasted fresh... but could have been a little crispier. Pancakes tasted a little rubbery. Read more

Although a home cooked meal from the country sound comforting this wouldn?t be the first place I?d stop again. The staff was... very friendly, the establishment was clean, but the food was not good. Between Four appetizers and three entrees our groupagreed that the deep fried cheese bites were terrible but the pretzels were good. The wild rice was cheap and pork was tough butthe pot roast was decent. Super cute gift shop attached. Read more

Ordered the Liver & Onions dinner for my mother. The dinner came with very dry, almost burnt liver, a very small condiment size... cup of gravy, nearly raw mixed vegetables, the potatoes were ok, but not enough gravy to complete them. The ?onions? consistedof 2 very large, thick slices that were no where near cooked. Overall this dinner was a major disappointment! Never again!!! Read more

Went there for Easter Brunch w/reservations waited 1/2hr past our time. Asked for table (several were empty the whole time we... were there), floor manager (Trish) completely ignores us and sat other people and leaves us standing in dining room, finally awaitress cleaned a table and sat us, fortunately she ended up being our waitress (thank you Lou) wonderful job. Also, they were not prepared for the amount of people, (how is that when you take reservations), slow to replenish and items were absent.Not worth the money we paid. Lori Read more

Decent place. Decent food. Loved the salad bar. Not huge, but unique items were great. The special was all you can eat fish (... Friday), but I opted for the pork tenderloin sandwich, our reason for visiting. The sandwich was battered, and (obviously) deepfried. But a common mistake restaurants make is not having a dedicated fish fryer and everything else in another fryer. Mysandwich tasted fishy. I wasn't a fan. Many other pork options in the menu! And service was good. This joint has a CrackerBarrel feel to it. Not a place for me, but a decent place. Read more
