The original Axels is on the south side of town. There are a few new Axel's Bonfire locations.
Go to the original. You'll be glad you did.
Axel's
Mendota, MN
1318 Sibley Memorial Highway Mendota, MN 5515
right in Burnsville, Cliff RD. (cty rd 32) and Cedar,(hwy 77) area. Doolitle"s Woodfire Grill. And Caspers Sirloin Room. Can't go wrong at either one. Nice outside patios, easy access and parking, reasonable and casual, right across from each other.
It's in the Radisson Blue hotel attached to the south side of the mall, second floor. Excellent rotisserie chicken and steaks. Their pork chop is o ne of TY he best (and biggest) I've ever had.
Twin Cities Grill (inside of the MOA) is also a good steak place.
Wooley's (east of MOA in the Embassy Suites) is excellent
I haven't been there for a while, but I consider the Twin City Grill at the Mall of America one of my all-time favorites. They do steak, chops, chicken, seafood, burgers, and salads as well as any place in the city. And they have terrific sides, from quality french fries to steamed vegetables and fine soups, like a top-notch tomato basil bisque.
And it's the mall, so you can dress up or down. They'll take you in shorts or a suit.
Also, if you're thinking of a good breakfast, think about Jenson's Cafe on Burnsville Parkway. A very good independent place with great pancakes and some house specialties you may really enjoy.
And if you're dying for sushi, try Crave. There's one in the MOA and one in Edina at a mall called the Galleria, which is next door to Southdale. Pretty easily accessible from Burnsville. It's kind of trendy, but I here the sushi is great.
Good luck! Hope you have a good hobbying experience, too, if you take advantage of the great women in town.
