According to John - St. Clouds is a down-to-earth business that recognizes the importance of being part of a community. That's why it's a favorite hangout for Grist Local reader Joel P. Sisolak. "St. Clouds serves up both regional cuisine and comfort foods, and hosts some great local music acts," he says. "But I mostly like them for how they give back to the community." The staff of St. Clouds have for the last five years hosted an annual dinner for Friends of the Cedar River Watershed, and they support a number of other local nonprofits as well.
