Jason S.'s Profile

Went to Lakes because they are closer than usual spot. Learned lesson.

Dropped 11 shirts off to be dry cleaned and for $2.50 a shirt expected them to be perfect because I like a crisp shirt.

No starch after asking for heavy on any of them, none of them were cleaned.

Could do better.

It was busy so we sat on the patio on a breezy night that overlooks France Ave. They have a few fire pits and heaters so it wasn't that bad.

The tap beer selection is well, needs work. Your basic stuff.

Better menu than what I thought with build your own pizza or burger selection. I went with the build your own burger, they have a lot of unique toppings. They say there is over 700,000 combination's.

The Burger: Half pound angus beef on ciabatta roll. Toppings included smoked gouda cheese, banana peppers, caramelized onions, garlic aioli and shredded lettuce. There is a list of sauces that can also be used on the side,  went with the sweet tabasco sauce. Sounds disgusting but loaded with flavor.

Would definitely go back

I'm basing this solely on the "all you can eat sushi". It was probably some of the worst I've ever had.

First they are picky as all hell. Everybody has to order the "all you can eat". So if one orders it, everyone has to order it. If people are coming to meet you at a later time and aren't doing the all you can eat, once they arrive no more sushi order and you can't order more until plates are empty.

I will say that sushi isn't the only thing on the menu. Chicken wings, miso soup, edamame et al are included as well.

The maki rolls are made extremely fast and not well rolled. The choice of rolls are mediocre at best, nothing special.

$10 for a Johnny Walker Black Label is also a joke.

Brilliant, frozen yogurt with all the goodies, why aren't there more of these places around! They need to come to Minneapolis

Careful on this one, my fiancee was getting her tires changed and they called in the middle of the appointment saying we needed new break pads. I probably would have had them change them if we hadn't REPLACED THEM 3 MONTHS AGO!

For once I had something other than pizza here. I went with the fish tacos, they where good but not $11 good.

They can pretty much get what they want for price because it's Edina, but everything is overpriced.

This place needs need to expand on their beer selection on tap. Only three available being Sam Adams, Miller Lite and a seasonal being Leinie's.

I will say the service was great, no issues with that.

Miserable experience... None of the people want to work or earn your business, they just expect you to buy from them, then *cop* an attitude when you start negotiating. None of their numbers ever made sense and they could never do the same thing.

Don't get pressured into a deposit if you choose not to buy on first visit. They won't let you leave.

I leased a car through Nissan three years ago, I enjoyed driving the Altima nothing wrong there. I had 3 months left on my lease and just wanted to check out the latest models.

I went back to the original sales person that sold me the car, I had  a good experience then so I figured it would repeat. Was wrong, turns out they learned a few tricks (hard closes) in the time since last visit.

After taking a car for a test drive we sat down, I wasn't going to do anything that day but this didn't stop them from trying. After blowing 3 hours in the afternoon going back and forth on price. I decided I would come back in a month or so.

Thats when the hard closes came in... the salesman was pushy in trying to get a deposit and even went as far as telling me that someone from a biz was in there looking at purchasing bulk cars and the one I had test drove was in that category and if I didn't give a deposit the car wasn't secured. I said if it goes it goes, plenty of other new cars out there sitting empty.

I came back about a month later after shopping prices, other dealers were lower but wanted to see if they could match or beat. The salesmen was busy so he had one of the managers take me for a spin in a few cars. The lady first scoffed when I wanted to look at some slightly used cars first, we took a few for a drive and in the middle of the test drive she obnoxiously answers her phone and starts talking loudly to her mother about a camera.

We then went back into her 5X5 office with 3 people in it and again, they kept pushing that deposit. On a few occasions she used some swear words and even dropped the 'f bomb'. Now I have been known to use some of those words but NEVER in front of customers. She even complained about splitting the commission with the other sales person.

We left feeling pressured in every which way, the next day I asked the sales manager to put a deal together. She said ok, to this day I am still waiting for a call back. Needless to say I went elsewhere.

Very unprofessional in every way.

If you are looking for an awesome car buying experience, make sure to check out Apple Valley Ford.

I would have given them a 2 but the service was horrible and when I put a deposit down on a car and they couldn't deliver, the salesman reassured me that my deposit was refunded.

After 15 days I noticed that the refund had not yet be refunded. I called and spoke to the office manager and she informed me that the car salesman had never presented the refund.

Watch out for this one.

The best car buying experience, ever. PERIOD!

I had visited numerous dealerships before visiting Apple Valley Ford and the moment I walked in the door, I knew this one would be different. Why? Because I was actually greeted with a smile and was helped out right away. Most times when you walk into a dealership if you are greeted by a salesman and you are not looking for them, they are reluctant to help out.

They have a very well thought out floor plan where everything is out in the open. One of the best parts it seemed about the dealership was that it was business casual, no suits or fake individuals around.

I highly recommend the salesman (car advisor) Steve H., he is by far one of the kindest and nicest individuals I have ever come across. Open and transparent in the car buying experience. Steve never once pressured us on the purchase of a vehicle like so many other car salesman do with obnoxious closing techniques. He asked us what we were looking for and he delivered on point. He never wasted any time trying to push us in a vehicle that was not for us.

We first sat down at a desk on the show floor and browsed the inventory on the computer. After we found a few vehicles, we decided to go out on the lot and take a look. It was raining out and Steve went out of his way before going out on the lot to grab an umbrella for my girlfriend.

It was late and the dealership was closed, but Steve had taken the time to stay after. We weren't going to buy that night and we were never pressured into putting down a deposit to reserve the car like so many other dealerships do. We told Steve we would come back tomorrow to take the car for a test drive.

I left that night telling my girlfriend that this is the first time I had actually left a dealership happy.

One of the best features about the Apple Valley Ford is they will pull the car into the showroom to take a look at it, if it is raining or cold outside.

After deciding to purchase the vehicle the next day, Lori from financing was very helpful. She came back with an interest rate that I did not like at first and she went to bat for us to get a new one. She didn't balk at the idea, she just did it and I appreciated it.

I like the fact that they don't work on commission and are a best price dealership. No running back and forth over price or wasting ones time. Another great feature is there is no going back into cramped offices to sign documents, everything takes place out on the showroom floor. Everyone comes to the consumer.

Thanks Apple Valley Ford for such a pleasant car buying experience and to all that helped out, especially Steve.

Meh, real estate agent here who had a client go with their lending department and I'm not sure they knew what exactly was going on.

Instead of choosing a loan officer and working with them the entire transaction, it seems there was a committee of them. Communication was poor and the transaction didn't close on time.

Be careful when selecting a loan officer, make sure they are experienced.
