These unique family-oriented restaurants serve American cuisine with a distinctive Southwestern flair. This includes wood fire prepared steaks, pizzas and rotisserie chicken in addition to a grand variety of homemade soups, salads, seafood (and walleye, of course), ribs, pastas and fajitas. Delicious desserts are homemade daily. Kids may build their pizzas and sundaes. Bar service is traditional and creative featuring happy hour and special feature promotion daily. Individual sites have entertainment - typically on the weekends. Axel's Bonfires strive to create a warm, caring and respectful atmosphere for all of our guests - this is the "Bonfire way."

We have been to many of the Axel's Bonfires throughout the Twin Cities and the service at Woodbury has consistently been better than the rest. The food is good and the prices are fair - perhaps a bit high for the value. Desserts are fabulous - try the carrot cake

We haven't been to this restaurant in a very long while. It's so out of the way and hidden that one forgets it there. However, after a long absence and being bored from all the other restaurants in Woodbury, we remember Bonfire since we were close by it. Everything seem fine, read the menu and decided on our choices. On their Entrees it says it comes with vegetables and choice of potato. As the waitress brought out our food, my plate had 2 slices of BBQ beef brisket and my choice of potato which was a baked potato, two small containers one having bbq sauce and the other one had fixings for the potato. There were NO vegetables served with my meal. I guess they consider the sauces as vegetable. What a Rip-Off!! We are NOT returning.

The flirtini is worth the trip by itself. The service is good, and the recipes are good enough that even the talentless hacks in the kitchen can't screw it up too badly. That said... be prepared for any piece of beef or tuna you order to be overdone. Shrimp, on the other hand, will be all but raw -- you'll probably want to take that home with you for further cooking. I'm convinced that they hire the cooks direct from McDonalds. Which is amazing, because they charge as though an actual chef was preparing the food. That said... the recipes and seasonings are good enough that even the no-talent hacks in the kitchen can't screw it up too badly. So, with decent food, good ambiance, and that killer flirtini... we end up going pretty often. I just have to resist the urge to go to the kitchen and show the short-order cooks how to properly prepare a meal. (And, no, I'm not a professional. I just actually like food and enjoy preparing it.) In short... fire all the cooking staff, hire someone with some culinary training, and you'll have a top-notch restaurant on your hands.
