Let's hear some favorites, here are some of mine.

Gyropolis in Bloomington, best gyros I've had.

Tongue in Cheek on Payne Ave in St Paul, high end restaurant quality at half the price. I wish it was close to my house. Must try.

Momo Sushi in NE, great sushi for the price.

King Coil Spirits, off Vandalia and 94 St Paul, only been once but the food was awesome.



Some of my favorite more expensive restaurants.
Alma, 112 eatery, gus gus, travail, kado no mise.
 

Speaking of gyros, what about that place in St Louis Park, Ariana Kabob and Gyro Bistro? Haven't been there, but was just reading about it earlier today.
 






I don't have much to add to this thread because I almost never eat out. too cheap and I stick to a fairly strict diet after a previous heart attack.

But - I was over in Sioux Falls a few years ago for work and we ate at one of these Hibachi places where they cook the food in front of you on this big grill and the chef puts on a show by flipping knives and so forth. that was really good - but the servings were so big I ate twice what I normally would.

any places like that in MN to recommend?

Benihana and Osaka are good options in the cities and produce almost the same tasting product, although I prefer the YumYum sauce at Benihana's slightly.

I always get the Filet-Scallops combo but their chicken and shrimp options are also excellent.

The dinner price for both runs around $35-45 depending on your dinner selection and comes with soup, ginger salad (oh yeah!!!) and fried rice.

My entire family is addicted to Japanese steakhouses so this is always our birthday gathering spot.

Now I'm hungry...
 

For pizza. Black Sheep coal fired pizza. A slam dunk.
 

The Ghost of Sid Hartman would like to weigh in with The Lincoln Del and Vescio's. R.I.P. all 3.

Murray's still going strong.
 






Our go-to place is Spitz in NE Mpls. Not super expensive and a major step-up from Pizza Ranch.

 

Can I get some recommendations on your favorite small town (< 10,000) restaurants in greater Minnesota (outside of Suburban ring)?

If any have a particular menu item they're known for what is it?

Best Mediterranean food is at the Med Box Grill in Chanhassen.

Also, Mallard's (multiple locations) has fantastic food.

Lucky's 13 (also multiple locations, but the original is on Hwy 13 in Mendota) is very good.

Finally for beer on draught, you need to spend time at Burger Moe's.
 


Phx burrito, Big AZ burrito, carne asada fries, sopapilla, carne asada pizza my favorites there.
 



Has anyone try Sammy's Pizza. that to me is the best pizza i eaten in a long time. We go there many times.

I have family in this neighborhood, ordered from Ariana's the first time last year... and proceeded to wait over an hour for the food (I showed up after 1/2 hr of ordering and waited another hour). Food was fine, but haven't been back since because its not worth that much time to me.
 

Just ate at Yarusso’s after visiting the Julia chil exhibit. Both are an a plus. Stop at morellis for something later in the week. Sausage on the pizza is hand pulled and spicy.
