New American Restaurants near Brooklyn Center, MN

“Great for parties or hang with a group of guys“

“Some odd industrial music choices and higher volume when packed didn't impede my enjoyment of our absolutely delicious drinks, gnocchi, halibut, or steak. Service and food were lovely throughout, just be prepared to have to shout a bit to converse~“

“We had a fabulous dinner with another couple. Food was great, table was great, service was very good. Disappointed that no staff told us that 26% charges were automatically included. My fault for not inspecting the itemized bill closer i would have expected staff to share that a 21% gratuity was already included (not to mention an additional “administrative “ fee was also included) before I added an additional 20% gratuity.“

“Food, atmosphere, and drinks were all fantastic. The Owner/Chef Joel has created something special at this gem nestled in a Minneapolis neighborhood. We had a large party for a friends pre-wedding dinner and the staff handled it great. From the apps to the desert, you can’t go wrong with anything you pick off the menu. We were all tasting each others food by the end of the night wanting to try EVERYTHING! Some have stated a smaller menu and prices, but then say the food blew them away…I for one like to pay to keep amazing food and ingredients an option. Can’t wait to bring my wife and other family members in the Twin Cities to do it again.“

“Our experience at the Yard House yesterday was outstanding! We were celebrating my birthday and our server Logan was amazing! He was extremely professional and did a great job answering our questions, especially mine related to gluten free options. I love that the restaurant has a gluten friendly menu also. I ordered drink that I didn't like,and he replaced it no problem without the extra charge. He also brought out a complimentary GF cheesecake for me with Happy Birthday written in chocolate powder. The food was hot and delicious and everyone my group loved it, including my kids. I had the seared ahi tuna sandwich which was delicious. They also have a great kids menu. We didn't feel rushed at all and all of the staff were so kind and accommodating. We also didn't have to wait with our reservation and were able to sit outside. I loved having the awning in case of rain. Our waiter even took our picture afterwards. Our experience here made my birthday so special. I would definitely recommend and will be dining there again!“

“-Vinai MN- My friend and I wanted to try Chef Yia's restaurant due to being homesick and wanting hmong food. We were met with such great service and sat where we could see the work area. Chef Yia was so kind and started us off with a complimentary appetizer, rice Curry balls. We ordered and the food came so fast. As soon as I took a bite, my eyes started to get teary because it tasted like food from home. I started fanning myself to not cry which Chef Yia saw and asked if the food was too spicy. We then started to explain that we were not from MN and were feeling a bit homesick and how the food reminded us of home. Chef Yia then said, here let's do this. He returned with a pot of beef soup that consisted of mushrooms, bamboo shoots, beef and green onion and white rice and shared that this dish was one of those dishes that we would eat at gathering and events. We we so shocked and so at loss with his kindness and compassion. We both took a bite and immediately lighted up. It tasted like my mom's cooking 💓. As we were nearing the end of our meal, Chef Yia told us not to stuff ourselves too full and surprised us with a complimentary dessert which further awed us. We were so lost at words for Chef Yia's kindness, generosity and comfort. We chose the Lava Cake and it was soooo good! I normally don't like sweets but we devoured this 😋. 1000/10 would recommend.“

“Best place in the twin cities for vegans, vegetarians, and big time carnivores to eat together and be totally satisfied with the many great options available to each of them. Always shocked by how reasonable the check is too!“

“My friend and I had an incredible time at Owamni. My compliments to the chef. Truly one of a kind experience. The food was outstanding from start to finish ( presentation, flavor profile, texture, all natural and full of character). There’s not a place that’s more unique than Owamni in Minnesota, in my opinion . I highly recommend this establishment, and I wish you prosperity and success.“

“Restaurant is amazing! Steady Eddie every time. Creative, well crafted, beautifully curated pre fixe tastings. Highly recommend!“

“We hosted a small work dinner of 8 people and our group had such a good experience we decided do to a larger event at All Saints. We had a group of 20, the team at All Saints was excellent work with in planning this dinner. Again, our group had an excellent time. The food, drinks and service were incredible. We will be back!“

“Ryan was the absolute best server that I have encountered in my life! I have an anaphylaxis food allergy. He was so on top of making sure that whatever I ordered wasn't going to be an issue. He checked with the head chef 3 different times about different entrees, so I could have the best experience. We are from out of town and will definitely be back due to the great service provided. Ryan, thank you so much for being so attentive in regards to my allergy. Tonight's experience made your restaurant, one I will always recommend.“

“We had Crave do another one of our yearly April Gala + Award Shows. This year they did our open bar at Union Depot's Red Cap Room in St. Paul. They were EXCELLENT! The bartenders were personable and professional. They provided a signature cocktail for our event that was great. Having them at our event was exactly what we were looking for and they executed it perfectly. Five Stars.“

“I thoroughly enjoyed my meal, my server Tommy recommended a breakfast special he created as he also is one of the chef’s, and it was so so so good. An elevated food experience that lives up to the Minneapolis food scene’s reputation. Decor is awesome too. Thanks for the experience and recommendations Tommy, you’re the homie!!“

“I booked Noa for a group dinner with 17 people needing individual separate checks. Not ideal for a server! Andrew handled it like a champ when we had people arrive throughout dinner due to delayed flights. Excellent service, delicious food, something for everyone. We had a great experience. Thanks again Andrew and Noa. I'll be back in July! :-)“

“Borough is fantastic. Great food and service and the atmosphere is wonderful.“

“We held our company Christmas Party at their beautiful restaurant and had such a great time! The staff were so attentive and wonderful to interact with throughout the whole evening! We ordered an array of food and our employees couldn’t stop talking about how fantastic the prime rib and KFC (Korean fried cauliflower) were! The talk around the shop about this event and the delicious food went on for days! We all had such a great experience from start to finish. They made it so easy to plan, set up, host and tear down. We would highly recommend anyone looking to host a party to come here! Now if you are just looking for a bite to eat for a date night or family night out, they also have you covered. No matter what plans you have this is the spot to be! A huge thanks to Lake and Irving for all they did for us and a massive thank you to Chris the chef! That meal was better than we could have ever expected!“

“Best food in Mpls! Great staff/service. Chef is AMAZING!“

“Food was great!! Jackie was our server and was amazing! Fantastic service and fantastic food! ❤️“

“I am sure many reviews begin this way, but it’s true here: I rarely write reviews. We visited the Rochester location on 5/18, and we were immediately pleasantly greeted. The entire menu looks so tasty, so I ended up ordering a Wedge Salad, the Five Cheese Macaroni & Cheese to split, and a 60/40 with Truffle Fries. I LOVE Wedge salads, but this one, this one was special - the most delicious wedge salad I’ve ever eaten. The addition of the dill was unexpected but soooo welcome. The macaroni portion, even as split, was so generous and very tasty. The truffle fries were very flavorful, and the burger - I am ashamed to say I can’t attest to it because my eyes were much larger than my stomach & I had to take it to go. The rest of the crew with me all agreed their food was also delicious. If we ever have the fortune to travel back to the area, we agreed we would all come back to Red Cow. Our service was also top notch, I wish I could remember our server’s name. She was very sweet!“

“Environment was great for a working lunch. Noise level was low and service was fast and efficient. Food was delicious, salad and French fries are always my go to at lunch and it was simply fantastic. Will definitely be back. They also carry Coke Zero which you can't find many places!“

“In Fargo, service is not great. i had one bite of my meal and told waiter he could take it. He never asked why, if anything was wrong, just grabbed it and walked away. I wasn't expecting anything other than for him to know why my meal was not hardly touched. He never came back to table until he brought us the bill.“

“Food was very good. My mom got the shrimp lemon and chicken pasta which was FANTASTIC 10/10 on that. My dad got the pot roast stroganoff which was also fantastic another 10/10. I got the prime rib French dip which the sandwich was fantastic, however the au jus was very bland which was disappointing. The tater tots were awesome. Would definitely eat here again!!“

“Highly recommend, incredible fine dining experience. Especially when paired with wine selections. We go at least twice a year and have never been disappointed.“

“Excellent service! Abbi W was our server and she made the dinner so much better! Good food doesn’t matter without good service. We will definitely be back and ask for Abbi!“

“Food is amazing 🔥🔥🔥 the short rib was awesome“

“Our first time here. Our server was amazing and the food came out fast and was good. Our only complaint was how rude and condescending one of the hostess was. Sydney was extremely rude multiple times to me and my mom. I was more upset of how she talked to my mom. Her name was Sydney and we were not the only one she was rude to. It was a shame since the rest of our time was a 10/10.“

“Wonderful atmosphere, staff, music & cuisine! Highly recommended for a night out.“

“best place in the twin cities. I remember when there was only beer and wine behind the bar and they sold single cigarettes. Dinner was a baguette and a roasted bulb of garlic and a bottle of wine. theater in the back with story tellers and fringe artists that kept this transplanted nyer here in the twin cities for 30 years.“

“Excellent food! Great wine!♥️“

“This place is legit top restaurants in msp, why??? Because they have talent and imagination. Any one can buy great ingredients and high end products, but can you make sidewalk grass , spruce pine , lingcod , wildrice and strawberry taste good ?(Not a real dish just something off top of my head) That's talented and worth talking about , the folks here have talent. And if your looking for adventure of the palette look no further.“

“Loved this place. Great food and service“

“Excellent service! Abbi W was our server and she made the dinner so much better! Good food doesn’t matter without good service. We will definitely be back and ask for Abbi!“

“I normally just pick up my orders, but you can eat inside. The food is always great, the gyro plate is what I usually get.“

“I got the Bison Back Ribs served over polenta with a gastrique (that was a new one to me). Surprising to me, the polenta and gastrique stole the spotlight. I also got to try my friend's Ribeye Bolognese. It was hard to say which was better“

“I was in town at an educational event and a friend recommended we meet here for dinner. Well it was so close to my hotel that and the menu looked amazing so I went for breakfast after landing. I am sad I only had time to eat here twice. Breakfast I sat alone at the bar and there was live music - so great. The bartender Ness gave me great recommendations and I’ve never had a better breakfast in my life. Huevos Rancheros, Virgin Bloody Mary, and a side Lemon Ricotta pancake (thanks Ness, I DEF needed to try it) Dinner time I was still full from breakfast (even though I couldn’t eat it all - portions were great) so our server Adam helped me decide which dessert I would have. The caramel pecan roll was out of this world! The atmosphere was top notch, love that it’s employee owned and just had such a great, uplifting and cool vibe. I told my daughter this morning that if I ever came across a dirt cheap flight to Minneapolis- I’d go JUST to eat here again. Flawless….“

“Great food, great service and a very nice patio! Highly recommend! We will be back again! Thanks!“

“the food was absolutely amazing!! This is our new favorite place!“

“Delicious food, great service and wonderful ambience. We'll be back!“

“Sweetest spot for families w young kids too - this team has been so sweet to our son who is obsessed w putt putt. We were rly pleased w staff amenities and vibes here!!!“

“Amazing food, good service, lovely patio“

“Amazing concept for dining!! We ate at in a community style at this restaurant which was different for us. We got seated at a table that was like a picnic table with strangers and it was fun. We met new people and tried some new food as well. It was perfect timing because the ladies we met were actually living in the unit above the restaurant and gave us some pointers on the menu.“

“I love the interior design, service, and food here. I also appreciate the interesting menu selections, which offer more variety than other spots in St Louis Park. This is a great place for a date, a girls' brunch, or even a corporate meeting. My mom use to order the duck sandwich, which unfortunately is not on the menu anymore. She tried the Kimchi bowl instead and enjoyed it. My favorite is the chicken Mediterranean wrap—the chicken is such great quality, and they're really generous with the portion size! I also recommend the ratatouille, chicken wings, chicken apple sandwich, fresh espresso martini, and hummus platter.“

“Great entertainment set up The food was okay but way overpriced and I really didnt enjoy eating in the dark ! Next time I would just go and have a drink and an appetizer or dessert . I would stop somewhere else for food“

“love it. awesome service“

“I am very impressed! They have sandwiches simple as PBJ and up to hot sandwiches such as Rubans and Cubans. They are amazing and be sure to accompany it with their soups. I personally love the wild rice but the loaded potato is a close second! The staff are very friendly, fast, and excellent at their craft. I tried this place yesterday for lunch and today no doubt I came back again. Highly recommend!“

“Bricks is one of our go-to spots, my husband and I are there monthly, and for good reason. The bar setup is awesome, the service is always top-notch, and the menu never misses. We know we’re getting incredible food every time, which keeps us coming back. The pizza and burgers? Unbeatable. The truffle fries? An absolute must. And if you haven’t tried the corn dip yet, do yourself a favor and order it... it’ll be a permanent starter in your rotation after one bite. Every visit leaves us happy and satisfied, and the consistently great experience is why we love Bricks so much. Huge thanks to the team for always delivering!“

“This is one of the best gluten free and healthy restaurants in the five state area. The food tastes homemade and the dining area has a lot of natural light with big windows and a view of Bde Maka Ska (Lake Calhoun).
My personal favorites are their egg sandwiches on delicious focaccia bread. All the bowls are great too. Their business continues to grow and I’m looking forward to their new Edina store.
The manager, Kyle, is very personal, professional, and greets me by my name. I’m a regular. I come weekly. As a celiac, it’s the safest restaurant around.“
