After reading a couple other reviews we were concerned about the service but decided to try it anyway based on the food recommendations. We were pleasantly surprised with attentive service from staff, and the food was a good as we had hoped for. Wait staff was polite, quick, and responsive, including when sending a steak back for a bit more atttention. Wild rice soup was creamy and thick. Walleye with cracker crumb crust, shrimp, sirloin steaks were all well-prepared, lightly seasoned. Broccoli was served as a large, bright green bouquet with a side of creamy chicken sauce. Another school district staffer leaving the place said the salmon special was excellent.
Pros: prompt, friendly service, good food
Cons: skimpy salad

We love sunshine factory. The kid's meal are the best quality and a great value for the money. There is a wonderful variety and the food is always very tasty. We go often and never get sick of it.

Food was great! Service was pretty good. We sat in the bar area which has a differant menu from the nicer side. I like the bar menu better. Great cocktails also. Even the kids loved the food. Give this place a try.
Pros: Wild rice soup, food, drinks
Cons: service is not always the best but ok

I love SF's Chicken Wild Rice Soup but the only way to do food from here is to call ahead and pick it up. The food is over-priced which would be worth it if the staff had any interest in serving customers. The service is terrible. There have been several times we have had to walk out due to no service. It's a shame since it could be such a great bar but unfortunately they just don't care to wait on anyone. Very disappointing.
Pros: Chicken Wild Rice Soup
Cons: Service

A great family place for dinner, reasonable pricing, great portions. The bar is a great place to hang.

I don't know if it's still as good as it was when we first went there 15 years ago. Memories tend to improve with age. However they still have the best prime rib I've even found... bar none. The wildrice chicken soup is fantasic, an also the clam chowder is the best I've found in Minnesota. To top it I had to go to Honalulu. The food is always of great quality, and large portions. My only issue is that over the years the waitstaff may not be quite as friendly and accomodating as they once were.
Pros: Clam Chowder, Prime Rib, Chicken wildrice soup

We were sitting in the sports bar area and kept hearing loud yelling from the kitchen. Most unpleasent atmostphere. The turnaround for the food was slow and the waitress informed us that one of the 4 entrees was done but she was still waiting on the others - it took another 15 minutes. Everything was warm when it arrived - I guess one of us had microwaved food!
Pros: good parking
Cons: crowded, unpleasant atmosphere

It was my Birthday and my mom wanted to take me out to dinner, after an hour wait with no line, somebody came over to us, the main waitress had thought we had already eaten, we got up and left!
