stella's on 97

a very nice surprise here! chef geno is doing something right. i will follow this cat wherever he's cooking!

amazing place for all. stella's is amazing!! great place to take your family for a great meal, or an awesome place to meet up with some friends at the bar for some cocktails and apps. staff is friendly, service is great, and food is awesome!

when i smoke and get the munchies i order
minnesota mac-n-cheeez
nice lounge makes me want to drink
there's also a golf course
fish tacos and steak medallions are good to

a hidden gem of the ne metro tucked away in a golf course setting!
the menu is fantastic, covering the spectrum of american food with a dual-personality of offering styles. choose from the "bold and sophisticated" side of the menu if your cravings favor "fancy" food, or from the "bit of gnarly" side of the menu for more traditional preperations like burgers, wraps, etc. each side also has their own set of delicious and creative appetizers--try a monkey's uncle anyone?? we love the ahi-tuna app and get it every time.
atmosphere is dark and comfortable. come as you are or dress up--all fit in fine. the bar is also large and a good place to relax after 18 holes.
this is one of our family favorites!

really. really good

outstanding. went to stella’s on valentine’s day, experienced, great food & excellent service at very reasonable prices, a great combo. you’ll see us often.

can't say a bad thing about stella's. fast, friendly service. after the table next to us finished their meal, my 2 friends and i had the restaurant to ourselves (there was a decent crowd at the bar watching football). which makes the friendly service all the more significant - some other places would have forgotten about us. their pulled pork sandwich is moist and tender and lightly drizzled with bbq sauce, served on a ciabatta bun. server let me substitute regular french fries for the sweet potato fries. the fries were crispy but nothing unique about them made them stand out. my lunch companions had a reuben and the broasted chicken - and both were happy with their choices. prices were moderate. would go back again.

best wings. stella's has the best wings around. it is a bit dark in there but oh well. the food is awesome. i read another review that didn't care for stella's and they said they only had breakfast until 1:00. guess what, stella's doesn't serve breakfast at all. this place is the best dining in the forest lake area, i also like the bar attached to the restaurant. i like to watch multiple games at one time.

nice menu - big portions. we been here a couple of times now and really like the variety of choices and our food and service have always been really good.

they offer something for every taste and there is usually a little twist to everything to make it different from other meals you've had elsewhere. every food item we've had we loved with the exception of the mn mac n cheese which was a nice idea but it had (i can't believe i'm saying this) too much meat (porkbelly, ham) which made it way too salty. my only gripe is portion size - huge. which given the price is a great value but i'm the type that likes variety and i prefer to split an appetizer, have a meal, and split a dessert. but when you go to places with too large portions, you usually have to opt for one of those choices. so when we go here we just order our meals and skip the apps and desserts. a reduction in portion size and price would give people the opportunity to try more things.

we eat there quite a bit, but the last two times have disappointing, although the food was very good the service needs work, phone the owner and told him we had been there twice this month and was disappointed, he was apologetic and stated he would address the problem, but offered no compensation to return, i did not recall for that reason but since i spent $75 a pop on the dinners i thought even a drink would have been nice.

sunday late lunch. arrived at the end of the football game on a beautiful day. most everyone must have been on the links because the bar was deserted. our server was attentive, brought our drinks, took our order, and brought our burgers quickly. the food was plentiful and delish.

poor service!. got there and was given the choice of a booth or a table, when asked for a booth was told they had to clean one off. while i waited, 3 other parties came in and were seated immediately - including a group of teenagers who were told to "sit wherever" (by somebody other than the hostess) and took the booth that just got done being cleaned off for us! it was quarter to noon, and when we were sat, the menu was only for breakfast! that's all they serve until 1! looked a little over priced, but can't say for sure because we waited so long for a server that we finally just left.

great place & chef geno rocks it. went here to check it out for a wedding reception venue and discovered the best food in the area. the service was terrific too, but we had to test the place a few times before committing. we are so glad we did! the food and service over 6 weekly visits for meals and happy hour never failed to impress and the wedding was terrific. the green beans are soooo good i could eat them for a meal. all dressings and sauces are made on site and they even entertain requests from guests. loved it then and still return when in the area.

great crawfish boil! fun event! great atmosphere!
