The Shops at West End — Attraction in Saint Louis Park

I have done a lot of shopping and dining in this area, and I am very happy that it was developed. The shopping center has a sense of place, which is often missing from suburban shopping centers. The parking is tucked away so that you are not in a sea of parking lots and, despite the modern construction, it does not seem like a strip mall that was designed to trick people into thinking that it is a Town Square. The dining options in the area are excellent, with The Local and The Yardhouse providing great fare. I really hope that more suburban developments take shape like The Shops at West End, which puts Arbor Lakes in Maple Grove and Woodbury Lakes in Woodbury to shame. Being a denizen of Minneapolis, I end up having to run out to the suburbs at times to get certain items or to meet up with friends from other areas of the metro for dinner, and it's refreshing to still have an urban feel when out running errands or meeting up with folks for dinner, as opposed to going out to parking lot land or AstroTurf suburban...

We went here for lunch today and ordered about 200 bucks worth of stuff. 1st off the cocktails were terrible. No liquor at all and way to sweet. 2nd my brother ordered taco and asked for no avocado or pico...Pico... he has some issues medically with avocado. He let the server know this 2 times ... the server even came back to ask and make sure what he needed off the tacos. So 3 times he was told. They brought out the tacos and as my brother bit into the 2nd one huge chunk of avocado and then some Pico. The server comes and then takes it away...now the next part is where this ish gets good...he brings the check and says my manager said we will take 50 percent off the taco portion. So I didn't get to eat ...didn't ask for anything else but I still had to lay 50 percent for their obvious f up. Never again Roja and if anyone ask I will gell them never again...hopefully anyone reading this understands the level of customer service they are getting...

I Went to Cub Foods. This location is a little more compact but it is well laid out. It is a little bit of a specialty store as it caters to millenial's and their on the go party lifestyles.

They have a bigger selection of healthy options in microwaveable steam bags for smaller portion meals that you can cook for just one or two people.

This store has a liquor store built off to one side with a nice selection of fine wines.

The location of this store is nestled in among the exclusive high rise West End. Apartments, and hotels.

The shops at west end are all small specialty stores and one of a kind restaurants. It an exciting assortment of entertaining options all with in walking distance.

The area has a...
