Heart Of America Co - Lake Elmo

I have visited MS on many occasions. The trip to Woodbury was the worst experience. We got there at about 1030. I ordered the Country Fried selection. When it came, the Steak was not able to be cut with a serrated knife. It was left in the fryer about ten minutes too long. Eggs and ash browns were good, but te bad meat took away the joy. I did nit eat the Biscuits and Gravy as a result. Took that hoe and had it the next morning. Worst B&G I have ever had. Tasted like they put Onions in the sauce. ISH!.

Kristy was our amazing server today. Food portions were very generous, very tasty. Will def come back!

We had heard good things about recent changes at the Machine Shed and decided to give it a try after church. I chose the buffet and my wife and kids all ordered off the menu. The buffet was full of some excellent options and the chef even came out to help my identify keto-friendly options and what to stay away from. The parmesan crusted chicken was incredible as was the sliced roast beef. The eggs had good flavor and despite being at the end of the pan when it wasn't particularly busy, still looked and tasted fresh. I saw many happy faces at tables around us and we will certainly return. My son had a reuben that he was very happy with. He's eaten reubens at many places and only thought it could have used a bit more meat. The flavor was great and not greasy like many he's had have been. My wife had a good Cobb salad and my daughter enjoyed her artichoke dip (she tends to go for appetizers).

Poor service cleared the table of our drinks and silverware when we went to get our food and then could not even find a waitress to help us. very poor selection of food for the price ,

Food was terrible. Mom and wife both ordered eggs benedict. They couldn't even cut through the muffin. It was tough and burned on the bottom. Brought this to the attention of the waitress. Said she would notify the manager. He never came over to apologize or even ask about the food. They both even complained about the hash browns. They were cold and not completely done. I had their breakfast buffet. My experience was a bit better, but less face it...have to try really hard to screw up a buffet. Surprised that when we asked for ketchup for the hash browns...that they didn't bring out a container of ketchup, but a small plastic container that was only half full. Wasn't even enough to cover the hash browns. Bad experience all around. Manager visited the two tables next to us. He appeared to make it a point NOT to even come over. Will not be back. Should of taken pictures for this review, but didn't think of it at the time.
