The Better Half

Excellent food and amazing service. Our server Lindsey was fantastic and the atmosphere is super chill and comfortable. My better half definitely approves !Avocado ToastBBQ Chicken Flatbread

Aaaaaahhhhhh! Yummy Sunday brunch! Amazing care by staff! GO!! Just GO!!Accommodating, generous piryions. Im back!

Not only was the staff super friendly, but the entire experience was a blast! The BBQ chicken pizza was a standout--the crust wasn't your typical thin flatbread; it was light, fluffy, and had the perfect bite. Every slice was packed with great flavor from top to bottom.

Great place to eat. Portion sizes are nice size. The servers are really friendly. I highly recommend anything that you can get the chimichurri sauce. My only recommendation is to have more veggie variety. Perhaps roasted carrots or zucchini. Beautiful place overall.

I could not recommend The Better Half more. Comfiest bar stools, stellar food quality, and great drinks. Not to mention the service is tippity top notch. Paige smells like roses and Lyndsey has the kindness of 100 puppies.

Looking for a new date night location with my wife and we decided to keep it close to home this time and try something local. I'm glad we did. The Better Half I would say is a modern take on an American diner with an upscaled touch. The decor celebrated famous couples (famous and made up) and had a Burger Jones (you guys remember Burger Jones???) kind of vibe. Very Uptown Minneapolis in the heart of Lakeville, I like it. To start the night, my wife had a cocktail from the bar. The Aviator was a great fuschia tinted gin drink. The couples sips I snuck in were very good. For food, my wife tried the scallops. First impressions - the scallop to price ratio here was very generous. We've been to "fancier" seafood places in Edina and Minneapolis that charge $$$ for scallops and then short you on how many you get. Not here. The scallops were cooked perfectly, tender and sweet. Great dish. I settled for comfort and has their breakfast burger. Patties were juicy and cooked perfectly. The burger was a sloppy good mess, how all good burgers should be. I greatly enjoyed it. Our waitress/bartender was friendly and attentive and no complaints on that end. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and the prices were very reasonable. It's like this place was uprooted from Uptown or Lynlake and dropped right in Lakeville, great spot. We will be back!

The place is buzzing, evidence of the quality of service and food. My wife & enjoyed their "classic smash" and "better smash" burgers along garlic aioli fries! Mmm, worth coming back for. Plus all so reasonably priced! Heads up, tap list is short, but we found suitable options. Psst, they do have a "Date Nite" special on Wednesday nights that is pretty sweet! We'll be back.

Went here for the first time for breakfast on Black Friday and was able to be seated right away. It was nice not having to wait in a long line.Once seated I chose to get a crafted shot (Blue Collar Combo). The description sounded a little different from what it actually was when I got it. It was ok, definitely wouldn't get it again but was fun to try. For my food I chose the Classic Benedict and got a side of avocado. Anything extra was ale carte and a minimum of $2. Because of this the price adds up fast so keep that in mind if adding or subbing items. When I got my meal I noticed my poached eggs were not truly poached - it seems like they rushed it because the white wasn't even cooked, it was all runny. (And I like runny and know how poached eggs are supposed to be but this wasn't cooked long enough - needed another 2 to 3 minutes). The flavors were very bland too so I ended up have to salt and pepper it a lot. The hollandaise sauce also was crusted on top - so looked like it had been sitting for a while. I don't know if I would come here for breakfast again, or on a holiday. I assume maybe they had an early morning rush and that's why things were a bit off and because of that will look to try again maybe for lunch or dinner and see how that is.

Had a dinner date with my sister and saw this place had good reviews. Most of the reviews I looked at prior to going to this spot talked about poor service but great food. We had the opposite experience. This is a small spot located in Lakeville and has free street parking and a shared parking lot in the back of the building. When you first walk in, the vibes are trendy and fun. Loved the lighting up on the ceiling and saw they do have a small patio on the side of the building. The service was OUTSTANDING! And it is the ONLY reason why this is a 4 star and not 3 star review. Our server was funny, personable and did a great job checking in on us. The food: We tried multiple items and nothing stood out to us. My sister got a mule and said it was good. We tried the drunken shrimp. It was 4 shrimp for $15! The plating was awful and the sauce was very bland! Save your money. The fries tasted like they came out of the freezer and were not crisp. They were spongy. Skip. The aioli is good but not enough to save the dish. The steak was good but did not come out medium well like my sister asked for. The chicken wings had a good smokey flavor along with a citrus dry rub. However, these were very dry. The dessert had such a strange plating.... It looked like something my kids would do... the server told us they have the cheesecake shipped in (which is fine lots of places do that) but it tasted fake and overly sweet). I'd be willing to give this place another chance based on the service and vibes but if you look at my pictures and past reviews you can tell the quality here has definitely dropped.

The service was really great. I went for the AYCE crab legs, they were rubbery, dirty, and really didn't look good but I thought maybe it was the steam or process they were cooked with. I was ill until today, so three days of stomach issues. The crab was $45, so also not inexpensive for the quality.
