650743 Mon Sep 07 18:43:40 -0700 2009 9 8 Midwest 0 5012132 My hubsband and I are playing hooky on Tuesday and we are trying to think of a good place to have lunch before a 1pm movie at Rosedale. Thoughts? We are open to anything in Mpls too, NE okay. Lunch buffets that we'd never get to otherwise would be good. Don't over-think this, just throw out options. I'm just having the equivalent to writer's block :) MayrMN Mon Sep 07 18:43:40 -0700 2009 14355 MayrMN 1 5018399 OK, without over-thinking: = Nelson's Cheese (take your sandwiches to the fairgrounds to remember past glories). = Byerly's/Roseville restaurant (my mom loves the place). = Hoa Bien or Saigon Vietnamese restaurant (just down Lexington from Roseville). = Emily's Lebanese Deli in NE Mpls (before they close for remodeling this winter). = Birchwood Cafe (only a few freeway exits away from Roseville). = Cupcake Bakery (even closer, freeway-exit-wise, to Roseville - and they have great soup). = Bewiched Deli (not close, but I LOVE Bewitched). Anne Wed Sep 09 22:30:38 -0700 2009 5012132 12541 AnneInMpls 1 5018425 Oh shoot, sorry I missed this Mayr. Maverick's (Lex and Larp) or China Jen (Snelling near Cty B, or is it B1?) would have been my two picks. There also seems to be a new D'Amico in Roseville across from Target (again, I can never remember whether that's Cty B or B1...) Where did you end up? ~TDQ Wed Sep 09 23:13:55 -0700 2009 5012132 12005 The Dairy Queen 2 5018952 Oops, I missed it, too. Guess I just can't keep up when the fair is going on. I'm still recovering... But now I feel like I need to explore Roseville cuisine. I haven't been to Maverick's for aeons! Anne Thu Sep 10 07:41:46 -0700 2009 5018425 12541 AnneInMpls 3 5019313 What's at Maverick's? Haven't heard of it. That new D'Amico is across from Target. And I don't remember if it's B or B2 either.

Deviate from those menu items at your own risk. :). ~TDQ Thu Sep 10 09:32:29 -0700 2009 5019313 12005 The Dairy Queen 4 5020867 It's County Road B. Thu Sep 10 18:44:17 -0700 2009 5019313 28204 Quince 1 5020501 ok-so right after posting this I thought I'd take him to Bankok Thai Deli, but then we started to cut it short on time before the movie so we ended up at Flame. It wasn't too bad and it was quick. As for all of the great options. I would like to try Mavericks someday, is it sit down? We've been to Emily's and China Jen. I have heard some good stuff about Birchwood too. Appreciate the ideas! I should have asked earlier :) Thu Sep 10 15:51:46 -0700 2009 5012132 14355 MayrMN 2 5020874 Mavericks is super casual. You order at the counter and then find yourself a table... ~TDQ Thu Sep 10 18:46:04 -0700 2009 5020501 12005 The Dairy Queen 3 5022168 Maverick's roast beef can be absolutely outstanding. Sadly, I was there last week and mine was pretty dry. :( Oh well, it won't stop me from going back. Fri Sep 11 09:43:14 -0700 2009 5020874 150060 BigE
