Heart Of America Co - Lake Elmo

Ordered the corned beef hash with biscuit and gravy, two eggs. Tiny, tiny little cubes of mystery meat mixed in with my hash browns. Cold biscuit with cold, bland inedible gravy. Hash browns were hot, and eggs were very good. Server was great. Noticed I did not have coffee. Removed it from tab. Left a 30% tip for the gal, but won't be eating there again.

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.

Outstanding breakfast, as always. Donna is an absolute rock star, and a true blessing at Machine Shed; she's the best server we have ever had at any restaurant, hands down!

My Mom and I frequent the Lake Elmo location for breakfast 2-4 Saturdays per month, and always request a table in Donna's section: she is the best server we've had, no matter the restaurant. Thank you Donna!

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!.
