“Amazing food in a comfortable setting with great service.”
“Best pasta in the Twin Cities?????? Cavatelli with Rabbit Sugo was marvelous. We swapped and tried each others and I was equally floored by all of them. Wonderful service. Our server was friendly and helpful. Delicious drinks and cheesecake for dessert (ate immediately, not pictured). Absolutely will come back- hopefully soon!”
“We’re so fortunate to have this gem just blocks from our home. It is incredible to have this level of food and an impeccable wine list tucked into a cozy neighborhood location. Having tried basically every tasting menu in town, the food at Bûcheron easily ranks at the very top. The bar is a perfect spot to drop in for a night cap and dessert, too. We’ve enjoyed two memorable dinners and several pop-ins for drinks and sweets and each time service has been knowledgeable and attentive and plates have been smart and well-balanced. Bring your out of town guests here to show off what makes Mpls extra special.”
“Food was delicious and presentation beautiful. Savored every bite.”
“Excellent brewery with lots of events and a great menu. The Doña Fria Mexican Lager (Serrano version especially) and the Rye Fieri are standouts. The taproom has cool art, and salsa night is a must visit.”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“Tried for the first time today, and will absolutely be back every time I’m in the cities. If you’re coming for brunch, you gotta try the Shrimp & Grits! The food is excellent, and the service is superb! Every single person was super kind, helpful, and great at their job. The atmosphere is chill and fun. This is my new favorite spot to eat in Minneapolis.”
“A MUST VISIT. This is one of, if not our top, restaurant in Minneapolis. Time and again the service, food and drinks exceeds expectation. Indoor seating is cozy, bar seating comfortable and the patio is very cute!”
“We all enjoyed our meals. The server was polite and the service was very quick. I ordered the Caesar Salad; I am usually an extra dressing kind of gal but this salad had TOO much dressing. Also, you can see in the photo the chicken I added for $7. It is quite a small portion for the price!”

“I took my son and his partner who I’m trying to convince to move here. This show might have done it. Best show ever and I’m surprised we didn’t pay more for the show! Bring cash to tip the amazing performers!”
“I took my son and his partner to dinner and a show. Best show ever and cheapest show I’ve done since moving here! I’m trying to convince them to move here and out of everything I think this won them over!”
“Incredible pastas and very welcoming staff. The chocolate hazelnut torte is a revelation.”
“Really great experience! It was our first time here, and the ppl (including the owner) were really friendly and welcoming. The food was amazingly tasty! We finished everything that we had ordered lol! Will definitely come back again when we’re in back in Minnesota :)”

“Rollicious is awesome!! Staff are kind when attending to orders and outstanding when it comes to customer service. The menu is also awesome when it come with a variety of options that are just delicious! This place will always be my favorite to grab some rice balls!!”

“Love the vibe and decor.
Authentic Neapolitan style pizza. Cooked perfectly, the dough is very clean and perfect hydration. The quality of the ingredients are top notch on every pizza, including the EVO. The sauce is a bit on the acidic side for me, which throws it off balance a bit. Overall an incredibly authentic pizza with Ann’s Korean fusion built in. Highly recommend visiting.”

“The wine, charcuterie, AND chocolate boards were heaven. Decent NA selection as well. Service was amazing, we felt very welcome and all staff were very knowledgeable on the menu, suggested great offerings. Will be back!”
“Strawberry coconut dream is quite sweet definitely a good balance of coconut and strawberry flavors (heavily). Tacos are on the larger quantity side. Sesame Chicken taco is crispy, tangy, with a good kick of spice. Al pastor taco is good, tangy with the bit of pineapple. Carnitas taco is very savory and juicy. The corn tortillas are nice and soft. Definitely have the sesame last because it overwhelms the other flavors. The sweet corn cake is super soft, a very light cornbread flavor. Elote is good, simple and yummy.”

“I love the ambiance (fresh, just right music, delicious and creative food, friendly people). I love the markit too - and browsing while sipping my wine or coffee. And I love the live music on sat!”

“Visiting from South Dakota and ate at the St Paul location tonight-the service was outstanding. We had someone in our party who is gluten free, and our waiter did an incredible job of explaining all of her options. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming, from the front check in-desk women, to the waiter, to the other staff that helped bring out food and drinks and extra things. Food was fantastic-loved all of the great sauces. Well done to the staff at Red Cow St. Paul!”
“Visited for the first time with my daughter around 9 pm on a Friday evening. Every employee we encountered was super friendly! Our server was amazing. I think his name was Grayson but I’m not 100%. He was always there when we needed something, provided great suggestions and was just fun, personable and all around outstanding. This restaurant appears to be a popular nightspot as it definitely got busier as the night went on. Great music. Nice selection of small plates, decent prices. Good variety of cocktails with fun names. Large selection of beer. Highly recommend the Mushroom Bruschetta! Amazing and was served piping hot! They have those real good fries too…definitely would get again. The chicken wings were also delicious. Perfect crisp on the outside and nice spice to them. Try dipping the fries in the spicy sauce that comes with the chicken. I would recommend this spot and will go back.”
“My husband and I chose to celebrate our one year anniversary here today. It was both of our first times dining at Broders’ and we enjoyed everything about this wonderful experience! Upon arriving we were attempting to take a selfie photo outside and one of the employees opened the front door and asked us if we would like him to take our photo. Tyson so kindly took several photo angles and opened up the door for us as we walked in. It truly felt like we were being welcomed into someone’s warm and inviting home. Our sweet waitress helped me select the most delectable glass of wine I have ever tasted. Words cannot explain how delicious the pasta was… we lapped up every single drop and were in absolute food heaven. To top it all off… we were treated to a free dessert of our choosing along with two chocolate cocoa truffles on the house!! After we finished our meal we went across the street to their storefront to purchase some pasta and sauce to enjoy at some point in the coming weeks. We will definitely be back for all special occasions and certainly for our two year anniversary. If you are looking for a once in a lifetime experience and meal this is the place!! Enjoy!”
“A beautiful addition to the culinary landscape of Minneapolis, in a neighborhood that is becoming a top dining destination. Minari is a stunning restaurant offering a new dining experience that involves a delicious discovery of new flavors, beautiful presentation and a sense of community. Being able to view the chefs in the open kitchen and interacting with those offering the dim sum adds to the experience. Enjoy courses on its own, dim sum on its own or mix it up with a combination, along with banchan...allows a new experience each time you dine. Persimmon Salad, Squid Ink Dumpling, Pearl Meatball, Crab Ramyeon, Banchan Platter, Mapo Tofu and Korean Fried Chicken are on my recommendation list!
Parking: Parking lot available across the street.”
“Always enjoy dining here. Service and food were very good. My go to when I want fish n’ chips”

“This particular Wendy’s is in a tough place. Right across from that police precinct that was burned, and the target that was looted during the George Floyd riots. There is a tremendous amount of drug activity and things that go along with it; however the restaurant is always clean, staffed, fresh, and treats every patron wonderfully. Whether it’s a homeless man stacking Pennys to buy a frosty or a big pick up order these guys are fantastic. I appreciate them all so much as I’m a bus driver and enjoy my dinner from here Thursday nights. Thanks guys!”
“Best sausage egg and cheese breakfast sandwiches ever! Better than McDonald's! Super yummy tato tot rounds! Made fresh right while you are waiting.. 5 STARS!”
“Best taco bell in minneapolis, easy. I’ve gone to this Taco Bell for 3+ years. Its always been fast, the food is always well portioned and made with care, items are hardly ever made wrong or forgotten, and the inside is kept clean. Never once had a bad experience. 5 stars”
“Looks like they have changed things around in this store. Was the worst rated one in the metro. It’s great now. Check it out again if it wasn’t what you wanted before.”
“Was up there and a homeless guy stole my drink and stole someone else food butt I got to say this close that Mcdonald's up or stop serving them now you Service by me uptown is going crazy”
“A staff in this McDonald's was so kind.. He served our ice cream to our table and smile even we didn't pay a tip.. It was so impressed and feeling nice!”
“I stop here before work and the food always hits the spot.
I was typically a #1 combo (no cheese) and 5 mozzarella sticks but at 5:30am that got to be a little bit too much so I recently switched to a #12 with sausage plus 5 mozzarella sticks.
A great way to start my morning.”
“Friendly service in a fun atmosphere. The food arrives incredibly fast. The flavors are fresh and vibrant. Highly recommend the Brussels Sprouts and the Cubano Arepa”
“I was in Minneapolis for a show and wanted sushi. So glad I found this place!! The restaurant is beautiful inside and has a very nice outdoor patio with lots of umbrellas for shade. The food was fantastic!! I had sushi and got a tuna poke bowl to go. I’ll definitely be back for the Tibetan Momo!! If you haven’t been to Momo Sushi you need to check it out!!”
“Cocktails were over-priced but other than that: 5 star experience. Server Fia (or Phia) was simply amazing. Burgers and salads were unique, memorable and perfectly executed. Don't miss the housemade ketchup. Or catsup if you're one of those people.”

“I don’t even like eggs that much and these are still some of the best breakfast sandwiches I’ve ever had. The original with chorizo and arugula is perfection. You won’t be disappointed.”
“Really great experience! It was our first time here, and the ppl (including the owner) were really friendly and welcoming. The food was amazingly tasty! We finished everything that we had ordered lol! Will definitely come back again when we’re in back in Minnesota :)”
“Stopped in for a late lunch on the patio. Was interested in a bitters & soda and the server recommended mixing the rhubarb and cardamom, which was delicious and refreshing. Followed that with the Chix Correa sandwich and a side salad. Wow! Really creative flavors and well-executed. Could tell everything was made from scratch and with high quality ingredients and care. Also the decor was fun and hip, the music top-notch, and the staff kind. I look forward to coming back soon!”
“Made a special trip just to try this ice cream, and I’m glad I did! Did the 5 mini scoop flight. Loved all of them but especially the lemon olive oil and salt and mint chip.”
“Amazing food and amazing hospitality. Staff is really polite and sweet.”
“I didn’t know how good Vegan food tasted until eating at Heal Mpls. The ambience is very comforting and peaceful. The staff is friendly and welcoming. Good Vibes!!!”
“I initially visited this place when it first opened, and my experience wasn't impressive enough to make me return. However, with the positive reviews accumulating over the years, I decided to give it another try. I'm pleased to say that this time around, I was very satisfied. The portions were generous, the food was delicious, and the wait staff was attentive. Although the dining room was loud during our visit at a peak time, I won't let that deter me from returning. I'll simply choose a different time for my next visit.”
“Best little diner in the twin cities area...small but very friendly and great food...”

“No place like it. Have been going since I was 12. Best blueberry pancakes in the world”
“I agree with previous poster. I will be dreaming of Francis now. Door was FABULOUS! Atmosphere is quaint. Francis is my new favorite”
“My #1 favorite restaurant, and I couldn't be luckier to have it in the neighborhood. Heather's is the perfect spot for a cozy breakfast, lunch with friends, or even date night... with my dog, on the patio!
Heather perfectly curates a tasty seasonal menu, highlighting what's freshest, and always includes some familiar favorites. The atmosphere is cheery, lively, and warm; everyone who works there is a gem, to boot!
I love to swing in for deli favorites, or sweets to bring with me to friend's, or the office.
If I could give Heather's 10 stars, I would. I'm so excited to check out their new location in the fall, and thrilled for the success of this talented crew. Thank you for being one of the best things about living in S Mpls!”
“Steak Frites was so good, came here to have a nice dinner with my boyfriend and our server was wonderful. 10/10 experience, but it always is.”
“So many things to recommend. starting with the ambience that is spacious and has a fun, retro vibe . very clean inside and out. The staff was very friendly, knowledgeable and did not rush us through our meal. Now, let's talk about the food and drinks !! Amazing . The cocktails were pretty and tasty. And our food was delicious , nice size portions and plated with great presentations. you felt and tasted that the meals were made with care and consideration. The prices were right on point . very fair prices. we agreed we would definitely come back .”

“Everyone was friendly from the moment we walked in. Our waitress, Taylor, was attentive, and had great recommendations. The food was delicious, as were the drinks! We will absolutely be back.”
“We have never eaten at a restaurant like Legendary Spice. It was an interesting experience. Our waiter was very helpful directing us through the process. There is seriously so much food. The steamed dumplings and sesame balls were absolutely amazing. I ordered the Mushroom hot pot & my boyfriend ordered the spicy beef pot. His was definitely HOT, so not my thing, but he enjoyed it. You can make nearly unlimited choices in Chinese veggies & meats.”
“Tonight my family and I had Taco Taxi! We had steak burritos with a side of rice and beans. Hands down the best burritos! The tortillas seemed homemade (I did not ask but I am assuming due to great quality), the steak was juice and flavorful, rice was flavorful, and the beans were perfect! 10/10 recommended!”
“Kid-friendliness: It’s Dairy Queen; need I say more?
Wheelchair accessibility: This location is more like a food truck/food stand, there’s no indoor dining here.”
“Cotton Candy Dipped Cone was very Tasty, and would go back”
“Great beer, neat environment, dogs allowed inside, free parking lot, TVs, coffee bar, snacks, and they support small businesses with Sat and Sun booths. This place has it all!”
“I realize the service rule is to get the quick pours on the counter before the crafted order. But when it’s 2 “quick” pours plus answering 3 questions plus looking for some lost key then I think deserve an apology for the delay. This barista couldn’t be bothered to provide that courtesy.”
“Really good local place for Coffee, right next to the Renaissance Hotel. Enjoyed my Cappuccino and went upstairs for a relaxing cup in a pretty nice sitting area on the 2nd floor. They have a meeting room as well. The staff were very friendly and helpful.”
“Atmosphere is good
Parking: In a mini mall so parking is always a problem. I have gone to this Caribou for a long time. Service is not great, but OK.”
“Love this JJ’s. They handle the lunch rush flawlessly. There seems to be a manager at the counter during the rush, and they know how to delegate and communicate! #7 with mustard is bomb af”
“I particularly appreciated the low level background music. Sometimes coffee shops are playing loud music which interferes with patron conversations.
And if course the coffee was great and Caribou free coffee refills are a nice bonus.”
“Wanted to say thank you to Finn for being patient with me when I was having problems with my debit card. Even offering to pay for my lunch. It's not often we see caring people that provide excellent customer service. Dunn Brothers is lucky to have him as an employee. Same with Levi who helped to check me out even though I was declined a second time. He knew what was going on and was very discreet like Finn. All the employees are really nice and my sandwich and coffee were excellent. Thanks again Finn and Levi.
Wheelchair accessibility: This Dunn Brothers is located at HCMC”
“I’ve never been disappointed at this restaurant. Interesting wines and great food.”
“Amazing food. We shared 4 plates. Each one better than we could have wished for. Possibly the best Paloma I’ve ever had. The manager Natalie took tremendous care of us. Fabulous experience.”
“Wow, I have been looking for a great Indian place in the area, and I've found it! I had ordered takeout from here a few years ago and thought it was good, but Chef Latish obviously has done a lot of work to improve the scope of the menu and the flavors. As a vegetarian, I also appreciate their very large selection of options. My buddy and I ordered the aloo mattar (very good) and the malai kofta (truly outstanding!) and we can't wait to go back! Thank you for the delicious food!”

“Stellar ! What a beautiful dining experience with impeccable service”
“we have a great family dinner here, great service and great food!”
“We had an EXTRAORDINARY experience at The Capital Grille last night! Our table was decorated with confetti when we arrive d because we were celebrating 2 birthdays. Their "In Fashioneds" were incredible and their wine list was exceptional! Our steaks were cooked to perfection, extremely flavorful and melted in our mouths! Our server, Shannon, was OUTSTANDING!!! She made our birthday celebration SO special!!! The Capital Grille never disappoints! Between the ambience, the food and the staff, you couldn't ask for more!!! It ws amazing!!!”
“We had a fabulous dinner! Our waiter was Patrick who made our evening grand! Highly recommend this steakhouse!”
“Our dinner was absolutely outstanding. The wine pairings were delicious and Mo did a wonderful job as host and head chef. I highly recommend you eat dinner here.”
“Manny's Steakhouse is a great place to go for special occasions. We've gone for both birthdays and anniversaries. The staff go above and beyond to make your day feel extra special.”
“Unbelieveable experience and a must try. Freshest and tastiest food I've ever had.”
“An annual birthday celebration - let them know and the staff will make it great. The food is consistently great - we get New York strip and fillets. Love their crab cakes too. Highly recommend!!!”
“Unbelieveable experience and a must try. Freshest and tastiest food I've ever had.”
“Tommy was a super friendly face after I had just finished a very challenging contractual job. A breath of fresh air when airport food service usually makes me sad, as I’m in the hotel industry myself. Thank you for making me feel at home! Food was on point too!”
“Great service and food. My husband said he would lick every plate if he could!”
“I want to extend my deepest gratitude to Jacob and the entire team at the restaurant for turning an extremely difficult day into one filled with warmth and kindness. Today was particularly exhausting for me. I've been feeling overwhelmed and alone in my work, constantly helping others, and when I got home, I was just looking forward to a quiet night with a good meal.
After taking a shower, I accidentally knocked over my food, and it felt like the last straw on an already overwhelming day. I called the restaurant to explain what happened, and despite them being close to closing, they graciously allowed me to come in and dine there. When I arrived, the manager had already prepared my food and, to my surprise, refused to let me pay. This act of hospitality was truly touching.
Jacob was exceptional. He made sure I was comfortable, even offering me water and checking in to see if I needed anything else. The kindness didn’t stop there; everyone in the restaurant was incredibly caring, asking if I was okay and ensuring I was taken care of. Although I was struggling with a headache and my emotions, their support made a huge difference.
I broke down when I got home and shared the experience with my family, who were already concerned about my wellbeing. As someone who works in a service industry, I understand the importance of hospitality, and what Jacob and the team showed me today was beyond words. You truly never know what someone might be going through, and the simple act of kindness can mean the world.
Jacob, in particular, showed exceptional leadership and compassion. After I finished my meal, I had to give him a hug. I’m so thankful for him, the young lady who took my order, and everyone working that night. I hope you all have a blessed day, and Jacob truly deserves recognition for the care he provided. Thank you, and thank God for people like Jacob who remind us of the goodness in the world.”
Cheap Eats
“Came on a Saturday at 2pm and was a little sad to see that they didn’t have any of the vegan loaves of bread, but did get a baguette (contains egg) and it was realllllly good. Everyone knows that gluten free bread is not the same as gluten-filled bread, but this baguette had a nice amount of crunch to the outside and it was perfect with soup. Wish they had more vegan options available as not everyone in our family can have dairy and eggs. But absolutely will be back to hopefully snag some more gf goodies again soon!”
“First visit and will be back. I had the Seward. It was an inventive, delicious combo of veggies with whipped feta.
Kid-friendliness: Small space, bright and cheerful. If I brought grandkids I'd get takeout and go to a park to eat.”
“Honestly, Fitchn is better than crisp & green or sweetgreen for an even better price! They offer a variety of really good salads, bowls, pita sandwiches, smoothies, and juices. We had the Gathering and Northwoods bowls. Fresh ingredients, delicious, and healthy. I didn’t know this place existed until I found it while browsing salad restaurants on Google. My new favorite salad spot!”
“Wow!! First time here and it did not disappoint!! Delicious!!”
“One of my favorite bakeries in the twin cities. Can get quite busy on the weekends and the seating is somewhat congested. But all worth it for the incredible quality of the bakery.”
“Best smaller pub in Minnesota. Proper pints, pot pies and you won’t find a friendlier staff.”
“My favorite eating place on the entire planet. If I could eat only one thing for the rest of my life, it would be their cabbage rolls. I usually have one for my main course and then one for dessert. Everything is fantastic. Kidding on the dessert thing. :)”
“This place is the BEST. Ever since their arrival to my neighborhood in North Loop, my life has gotten better!!! The food, the atmosphere, the staff, the QUALITY & FRESHNESS - unmatched! I love taking my family & friends here. Best place with the best people working here! You won’t regret it.”
“My family has been eating here for years. This is the best Lebanese deli and I crave it every day of my life and I don’t live in Minnesota anymore. everything is good from the Fatayer to grape leaves. I wish I had a place like this locally.”
“Incredibly excited for this spot to open!! The food is fantastic, the team working was welcoming & making sure that every single person was taken care of- I highly recommend making a stop at his new location! I picked up the Rushhour & the Chicken Sammie - delicious!!! Marques wishing you the best!!! Welcome to the neighborhood!!”
“Can’t believe I haven’t ever reviewed this place. Been here many times. Stopped going for a bit around Covid because the food quality dipped a lot. I like their biscuits and gravy but the biscuits were coming out burned a couple different times we went. Finally decided to give it another try and the quality seems to have improved again. Will be adding it back into the rotation. Their bakery and bread is always worth a stop also.”
“Sarah Jane's is the old type, no frills bakery. Their donuts were delicious and fresh! The staff was friendly, patient and not pushy or rude at all. The building is small, but well stocked with great treats.”
“The beautiful look of the cupcakes, is somehow surpassed by the wonderful flavors of the cupcakes. The delicious flavorful cakes and cookies, nothing like I have ever tasted. They have brightened up the building formerly known as QC pizza and numerous other food pop in spots, to bring truly wonderful vegan num nums to the Nokomis neighborhood. LOVE IT!!”
“This place legitimately has THEEE best pizza in my opinion. They have great options to select from but they’re also great at custom pizzas! There’s been a few times I’ve been a little disappointed when ordering delivery because customizing seems to just add dollar after dollar even if you remove items but I’ve called in and *Sabrina* is a gem! Every time she’s taken care of me to make sure my pizza still comes out great and for a fair deal. Seriously the kindness people work there so if you love your pizza as much as I do, make sure to take care of them!!
Dietary restrictions: They’re very accommodating and will make customized pizzas if requested”
“This place is amazing! They do not disappoint. We come here all the time before Vikings games! Chao!”

“I came here for the first time last week and I am so happy I decided to dine. The staff was absolutely phenomenal. Cyrus our waitstaff was very attentive, knowledgeable and outgoing. He explained everything in depth and provided recommendation based on our interest. He inquired about our dietary restrictions as well which made his recommendations even more personable. I ordered the sweet potatoe korokke, maitake karaage and the mentaiko lumache. My partner ordered the pork gyoza and the squid ink peppardelle. Everything we ordered arrived prompt and was absolutely phenomenal! The sweet potatoe korokke and the maitake karaage was my favorite due to the flavour, presentation as well as the texture. I enjoy crunchy yet flavourful dishes. I also LOVED the mentaiko lumache, it was very creamy and light. I would absolutely return as this is one of my favorite restaurants. Highly recommend due to service and the quality of the food.”
“Wonderful food and atmosphere! Even better service!”
“Everything! Loved the drinks and creative, yummy menu!! So fun!❤️”
“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!”
“Our first time at O’Shaughnessy’s did not disappoint. The food and the cocktails were top tier and it’s clear that across the board, from FOH to BOH, they care about the product and experience they are providing to customers. Miles was our server and we met the manager Andy. Miles made us feel welcome and provided excellent service and recommendations, and Andy was super accommodating. Can’t wait to go back!”
“AMAZING SERVICE, WONDERFUL atmosphere, well priced, FANTASTIC FLAVORS, serving portions as expected for tapas. Two of us ordered about 8 dishes and shared gor dinner, we were stuffed - could have had only 6 but wanted to try so many bcuz they were so tempting by descriptions, and they met all expectations!! They accommodated our dietary restrictions without hassle. If we lived here, we'd be regulars!!”
“One of the best meals I've had in the Twin Cities. Everything was so flavorful. Maybe the best broccoli I've ever had. Service was great, as well. Highly recommend”
“We recently had dinner for 9 on a Friday night to celebrate my Mom's 80th birthday and our godfather's 90th. We brought along a menu that we had from the 1960's to show staff . . . prices have changed, but not much else except the carpet, which is as it should be . . . quality is quality! As my Mom noted, we had a DINING experience; we were not just quickly and mindlessly served. Because of that, us younger-fold will be back to JAX to enjoy that experience. But for one night, the JAX staff and owners helped our parents and godfather celebrate old times and again enjoy a "night out on the town" they will not soon forget! For that, we THANK YOU, JAX Cafe!!!”
“Best waitress ever!!! Plus my drink was free for my birthday!!!”
“One of the cleanest restaurants I’ve been to! My waitress scrubbed the table, chairs, and menus before seating us. The sushi was very fresh and flavorful. Highly recommend! Very fair pricing as well. I’m excited to go back for their ramen.”
“I took my son and his partner who I’m trying to convince to move here. This show might have done it. Best show ever and I’m surprised we didn’t pay more for the show! Bring cash to tip the amazing performers!”
“Love everything about it. Had no idea what I was getting into. Server had solid recommendations - the food was delicious.
Dietary restrictions: Lots of gluten free options at request.”
“Visited for the first time with my daughter around 9 pm on a Friday evening. Every employee we encountered was super friendly! Our server was amazing. I think his name was Grayson but I’m not 100%. He was always there when we needed something, provided great suggestions and was just fun, personable and all around outstanding. This restaurant appears to be a popular nightspot as it definitely got busier as the night went on. Great music. Nice selection of small plates, decent prices. Good variety of cocktails with fun names. Large selection of beer. Highly recommend the Mushroom Bruschetta! Amazing and was served piping hot! They have those real good fries too…definitely would get again. The chicken wings were also delicious. Perfect crisp on the outside and nice spice to them. Try dipping the fries in the spicy sauce that comes with the chicken. I would recommend this spot and will go back.”
“Such a gooood restaurant!! The staff were incredibly kind and accommodating! The food was very good! And the atmosphere was amazing!the menu and options were so unique and the interior was so cute! Love this place!”
“Everyone was friendly from the moment we walked in. Our waitress, Taylor, was attentive, and had great recommendations. The food was delicious, as were the drinks! We will absolutely be back.”
“Everything was so good. The decor was beautiful and we have some new home renovation ideas. It’s rare to see large patio doors that can slide open in MN, which was awesome to see. The food was all incredible. These wings are contenders as top 5 wings in the TC. I know, those are fighting words. Try them and prove me wrong. The prices for everything were also excellent value. We’ll be back.
Dietary restrictions: They have an entire separate peanut-free menu
Parking: You may have to park about a block or 2 away, which was fine.”
“First off, I would highly recommend this restaurant. The value is great. With that said, the wait staff was very pushy; if the chef left this place wouldn’t be worth a thing.”
“The venue is a little too “homie” for my tastes, but the food was amazing!”
“My husband and I dined here while in Minnesota last week. The service was outstanding. Ellie is such a sweetheart and took the best care of us. She described everything perfectly to us. The food was wonderful. It really gave my taste buds a new experience in cuisine. Kudos chef Gavin. I loved the atmosphere as well. Thanks for an amazing dining experience!”
“Good variety of dishes, options for special dietary needs. Atmosphere is pleasant and clean.”
“The food was incredible and our server Emily was amazing! Do not skip the guac!”
“We had an EXTRAORDINARY experience at The Capital Grille last night! Our table was decorated with confetti when we arrive d because we were celebrating 2 birthdays. Their "In Fashioneds" were incredible and their wine list was exceptional! Our steaks were cooked to perfection, extremely flavorful and melted in our mouths! Our server, Shannon, was OUTSTANDING!!! She made our birthday celebration SO special!!! The Capital Grille never disappoints! Between the ambience, the food and the staff, you couldn't ask for more!!! It ws amazing!!!”
“Getting There: Take the Green Line and get off at West Bank, then walk up the Cedar Ave steps and turn right. A quick block-ish and here you are.
Food: Wow. Imagine a gourmet Big Mac. That’s the flavor of the Juicy Lucy at Town Hall Brewery. Amazing. I enjoyed every. single. bite. (Sort of regretting splitting it with my husband). I could have selfish devoured that in an instant. We sat at the bar and the service was stellar. Kind, helpful, and patient as we figured out our beer flights scouring Untappd (as the obvious out of towners we are). Also try the short Rib Poutine. The gravy is made from their Oatmeal Stout beer. Love that.
Atmosphere: Really cool old bar atmosphere with rich dark woods and a lovely display of bourbons. Sit and eat at the bar and get flights of beer!
Favorite beers: Czar Jack Barrel-Aged Imperial Stout, Boreal Hills IPA, and Red Beverly Spiced Belgian-Style Red Ale.”
“Stellar ! What a beautiful dining experience with impeccable service”
“Just ate here on a whim. Wife picked it from a huge list on google. They did not disappoint. Order the fried chicken. You won’t be sorry. I also had burnt ends. Prolly the best I’ve ever had. Sticky toffee pudding and banana Creme pie for dessert. This place was off the chain. Great food great atmosphere great service. Will be back soon. I’m kinda of mad at myself for not ordering another sticky toffee pudding to take with me. 200 stars. Thanks for a great meal”
“We went there for the first time last night. The food was amazing and the atmosphere peaceful and cozy. Highly recommend”
“Can I give EATO, ten stars? Food - the best I have had in years; the service - flawless, perfect mix of professional and friendly; the atmosphere - welcoming and casual. I would not have changed a thing! I had a large group of people coming into Minneapolis from all over the country and a few local friends recommended EATO for the group farewell dinner. A few weeks ago I stopped in and talked to the manager, Jason, and he suggested a half restaurant buyout for the group with tables over by the bar. (Excellent idea, it worked out great!) Then he connected me with Chloe who helped me pick menu items so my guests could choose a salad course and an entree course from five options, with optional protein additions, she also printed out custom menus to welcome my guests. Super easy process, and Chloe had great suggestions,. When we arrived Jesse, Connor, and Chloe were ready and waiting at the bar to handle the group of 30 people, serving them drinks with fresh flowers in them, special tap beers, and bubbly Prosecco. I think part of the group also had some killer Old Fashions they raved about. Connor and Jesse were our servers and they moved through the tables taking orders, delivering the food, filling water glasses, getting drinks, etc. The table service was impeccable, these guys know how to treat guests like honored family. (What more could you ask for?!) I don't know the chef's name, but kudos to the kitchen. The food came out quickly, and was plated beautifully. Without fail, every guest told me that their meal was fantastic. I personally had the beet salad (yum!) and the chicken Parmesan. It was the best chicken parm I have ever had, not kidding. Thank you, EATO, for helping me put on a wonderful event! - Libby Huebner, corporate event planner”
“Probably the best Indian food I’ve had in the US - never been to India but man every dish was excellent. The lassi was phenomenal, as was the lamb, naan bread and overall service.”
“we have a great family dinner here, great service and great food!”
“Love this place, the wine and cider are always good and I love the seasonal options. Especially love the red velvet wine they have right now, it's a delicious dessert wine.”
“They have some of the most unique brews I've had in a while, like a nitro IPA, and an aquavit barrel-aged IPA. My favorite of the bunch though was their TOKKI, a Korean rice lager. The bartender was also very friendly, and their space has big garage-doors that were open, so there was tons of natural light and cross-breeze.”
“Iconic Minneapolis steak house with an unbeatable forties/fifties retro vibe…delicious aged beef and classic stiff cocktails!”
“Not a ton of vegetarian options and most small plates are fried. Mushroom cakes needed salt or more seasoning. Not a lot of fresh options which is a shame with summer produce.”
“The food was amazing!!! A must have when in LA”
“On Saturday we ordered on Uber eats and it was delicious! We had naan bread, beef curry and chicken tikki Masala with rice. My friend and l ordered everything mild because we weren't sure about how spicy it would be. It was perfect and very flavorful. l would try this place again.”
“Cool place and fabulous farmers market margarita!!”
“I love the owner, shes really the sweetest person ever, but her new employees give horrible service. I wont be spending my money here again, till the owner herself is behind the counter, they wont have my repeat business”
“Best sushi in town The freshest fish and consistent”
“We tried Young Man today at the Japanese festival in Como Zoo. The line was long but oh my, so worth it. Sweet Moo was delicious, Hawaiian Shrimpy too. Takoyaki maybe needed couple more minutes of frying, but I got it, they were really busy that afternoon.”
“I found my happy place here last night! Pierogies were excellent! And the cocktail with clarified milk wash and dill was absolutely perfect. Ivan took care of our group of 8 well, did a great job explaining the menu and cocktails.”
“My sister and I were visiting Minneapolis from Chattanooga, TN. We stayed near the Tasting Room and decided to come in during their happy hour. It was amazing!! The wine and the pizza were perfection. The vibe was warm and welcoming. The service was so friendly. We both said we wished this place was in our town! Highly recommend!”
“Fantastic meal, I had the pollo Gorgonzola plate, and the pear salad. The key lime pie was incredible as well.
The owners are wonderful people who made the dining experience such a pleasure.”
“We have never eaten at a restaurant like Legendary Spice. It was an interesting experience. Our waiter was very helpful directing us through the process. There is seriously so much food. The steamed dumplings and sesame balls were absolutely amazing. I ordered the Mushroom hot pot & my boyfriend ordered the spicy beef pot. His was definitely HOT, so not my thing, but he enjoyed it. You can make nearly unlimited choices in Chinese veggies & meats.”
“We had a fabulous dinner! Our waiter was Patrick who made our evening grand! Highly recommend this steakhouse!”
“I loved the food Ms.Grace was really nice and I loved the painting I would highly recommend this place”
“Steady Pour is great for any event! They have such a wide verity! Thier bartending team is wonderful. I also love to just purchase thier mocktails to take home and make out own.”
“A great area for dogs of all sizes to run outdoors, attentive staff to manage any pup issues, a great menu, and great drinks! It's a fantastic place to spend an evening with friends and your dogs without worrying about keeping your dog on your heels. There is also an indoor area for rainy or snowy days.”
“With the exception of the “chicken and waffle” dish the food was served lukewarm and without steam ?(4stars)
None of the items listed below were on the brunch menu. Mackenzie took great care of us most definitely going back to check out the dinner service!”
“Stopped in thinking it was a little Mexican joint, loved the vibe of the place, and staff were great. The decor and music instantly transported me back to one of my favourite bars in the world, over in Glasgow (Scotland) IYKYK.
Was disappointed when we saw the menu and found I had got it wrong and it wasn’t Mexican - that was until we ordered and got to try our food - absolutely phenomenal ??
Amazing American-Asian fusion snacks and plates, and the cocktails were BOMB.
Couldn’t speak more highly of the people working here, who were super nice, really attentive, and made us feel incredibly welcome.
Music choices were also fantastic, contemporary alternative pop/rock/punk with some alt-classics thrown in.
This would be a cool place to go just for the vibes, music and cocktails, but the food and the staff here make this one of my new favourite places here in the Twin Cities.
11/10, would Little Tijuana again ??”
“Amazing first experience with my wife a few weeks back, actually planning to come for our 9 year wedding anniversary next week! If you like unique food and great people, this place is the spot.”
“Spicy chicken sandwich was great but the cashier was a dick.”
“It was our first time having dinner there and everything was great, food and service. Look forward to returning for another good experience. I had the honey pecan chicken salad, and it was very good.”
“Highly recommend Gia! I have eaten there three times and each time is different from the last but always high quality. The service is top notch and the food is exceptional.”
“Such a comfortable place for a brew or two.”
“Our dinner was absolutely outstanding. The wine pairings were delicious and Mo did a wonderful job as host and head chef. I highly recommend you eat dinner here.”
“Shout out to Christos Greek Restaurant and love to Gus, a truly amazing person who has kept this wonderful landmark alive and well for so many years! We have never had more delicious food anywhere! My choice was the lamb shank which was cooked to perfection, so tender it fell off the bone and didn't need a knife. Dessert for me was the mousse au chocolat (always) and having tried it at every restaurant that offers it, Christos will never be outdone. It should be mentioned that the salads are always made with what our daughter calls "happy veggies," always fresh and beautiful! the soups are all wonderfully special and "home made" as well. No one comes even close to the love and care that goes into this dining piece of heaven. Enjoying your delectable meal at Christos feels as good as a warm hug from your mom. Salut to happy tummies! :)”
“Highly recommend, incredible fine dining experience. Especially when paired with wine selections. We go at least twice a year and have never been disappointed.”
“Came here for lunch on the recommendation from my hotel’s bartender (shout out to Vitaly at The Marquette!). Arrived a little after 11am, it was very quiet/empty which was great. Received amazing service from Ashlee. Had a 801 Martini, Cajun Oysters and the blackened Mahi Mahi sandwich, and well were very delicious and are well recommended. My colleague had the Lobster roll and it looked amazing!! Looking forward to coming back!
I had dinner at Manny’s Steakhouse, which was very nice, great staff and environment. But 801 fish also has a steakhouse restaurant nearby, which I am looking forward to trying next time.”
“A beautiful addition to the culinary landscape of Minneapolis, in a neighborhood that is becoming a top dining destination. Minari is a stunning restaurant offering a new dining experience that involves a delicious discovery of new flavors, beautiful presentation and a sense of community. Being able to view the chefs in the open kitchen and interacting with those offering the dim sum adds to the experience. Enjoy courses on its own, dim sum on its own or mix it up with a combination, along with banchan...allows a new experience each time you dine. Persimmon Salad, Squid Ink Dumpling, Pearl Meatball, Crab Ramyeon, Banchan Platter, Mapo Tofu and Korean Fried Chicken are on my recommendation list!
Parking: Parking lot available across the street.”

“What a nice, comfortable, and enjoyable place. We were staying close and wanted a burger for dinner, and the were over the top, fantastic! You gotta have the waffle fries, they’re worth stopping in on their own. The service was spot on, timely, and polite. Olivia was our server and she made us feel like we were her only customers, and the place was busy. Great place to bring the family. Two thumbs up for Team POG, Minneapolis!!”
“After we had posted a less than stellar review the management reached out to us and invited us back in. This experience was what we expect from Nonna Rosa's and we will be going back often. Brenda”
“No lo recomiendo cuentan con un personal altamente inepto. No cumplen en sus órdenes te toman la orden y cuando el momento de tu fiesta llega ; una no encuentran tu nota y dos tampoco encuentran tu pastel y lo único que te saben decir es lo ciento no sabemos qué pasó .así que si no quieres que te pase lo que ami me pasó y tarde me di cuenta que les a pasado a otras personas lo mismo y en esta sucursal de la lake street en Minneapolis.tengan cuidado al elegir sino quieren quedar en ridiculo……”
“I have had the pleasure of patronizing this shop on a few occasions. First of all, the food is spectacular! Customizing your purchase is assumed and welcomed. The staff is quite knowledgeable, personable and very accommodating. If you're looking for a tres leche cake to die for, this is the place to visit.”
“My husband and I come here every Valentines Day. We love the seafood, the prices, the beer. I can't get over the fish soup which, with bread, makes a very satisfying winter night meal.”
“The best buns I've ever had. Highly recommend. Service is top notch.”

“Just ate there for the first time and it was great! Our server Adam was one of the best servers I’ve ever had, was fun to talk to, checked in enough, and just an overall great guy to have as a server. Food was good, I think we each got something he suggested and all loved the food plus had some to take home. Drinks were just as good, Adam was knowledgeable on them and suggested a good local brew as well. The vibe of the place and setup was sick! They just started putting up Christmas decorations as well and it’s honestly impressive. Definitely was a great pick for my bday and we will absolutely be back! Highly recommend stopping in!”
“My wife and I had heard great things about the Juicy Lucy, and had to try it out. The fries were nice and fluffy on the inside. The burger itself was pretty tasty.
Wheelchair accessibility: It looks easy to get in and out, but potentially difficult to maneuver around when the restaurant is at capacity.”
“Manny's Steakhouse is a great place to go for special occasions. We've gone for both birthdays and anniversaries. The staff go above and beyond to make your day feel extra special.”
“We had a great meal! We had one of the weekly specials, three preparations of lobster. The three were creative, including one that featured lobster and tarragon inside a deepfried casing,, which demonstrated that tarragon is a delicious herb with lobster, a beautifully prepared lobster tail and a delicious fettucini with lobster and garlic. Our server was superb. And the casual environment makes it a great place to drop in after work.”
“I took my son and his partner to dinner and a show. Best show ever and cheapest show I’ve done since moving here! I’m trying to convince them to move here and out of everything I think this won them over!”
“Amazing staff. Great food. So much fun!!!”
“An annual birthday celebration - let them know and the staff will make it great. The food is consistently great - we get New York strip and fillets. Love their crab cakes too. Highly recommend!!!”
“We checked out this place for the first time today and all the food was phenomenal. We got the Calabrian chili wings, which were very meaty and the perfect amount of spice. Their hatch chili pizza was amazing and we finished with their vanilla bean ice cream and homemade caramel sauce. We will definitely be back here again, can’t wait to try their other pizzas!”
“I agree with previous poster. I will be dreaming of Francis now. Door was FABULOUS! Atmosphere is quaint. Francis is my new favorite”
“Outstanding food and service! It's the best place to go for Jambalaya and Lobster Rolls! Prices are a little higher, but moderate as far as North Loop restaurants go. Great outdoor seating and a perfect place to hook up with friends for the lobster / guacamole with chips!”
“Such a fun experience! A group of us went after the MN Orchestra show. The hosts led us to a few different tables because they weren’t sure which tables were occupied or not. Service was slow but they were busy. The food was delicious! Absolutely tender rib eye steak and the Shepard pie was delightful. Would definitely go back!”
“So 49ER Day party at Crave Rooftop was a lot of fun and the food was delicious.
I was pretty surprised at how extensive their menu was. Oftentimes, when restaurants have a lot of items and different types and styles, it isn't always good.
But when I tell you my bison burger and wings were very tasty. There was lots of flavor and made just the way I wanted. I don't like my wings swimming in sauce, so I asked for light sauce on my wings, and they listened, and it was just how I like.
Their menu even has a gluten sensitive menu as well as a plant based menu. I was impressed with their options.
If you find yourself in downtown Minneapolis, you should definitely check them out. You will not be disappointed!”
“Wonderful atmosphere, staff, music & cuisine! Highly recommended for a night out.”
“First time there this weekend. Highly recommend. Great food. The best part was the waiter who serviced our table. It was so refreshing to have a person waiting on our table with patience, a sense of humor and a concern about how we were enjoying our meals. Dominic made the experience 100 percent better than what it may have been. Our group can not thank you enough Dominic to adding to an amazing time.”

“We almost didn’t go because it was difficult to find parking, but it was definitely worth the walk! We were sat immediately and greeted with very kind service. We ordered boneless chicken wings with spicy Korean sauce, and we each ordered a spicy rice noodle bowl. Our server told us what to add right away and how to enjoy the bowl. Everything was delicious. We tried the sliced beef and brisket and both were great. Definitely a great Minneapolis spot for a warm lunch on a cold day! ?❄️?
Parking: We went on Saturday and got lucky with parking, but be prepared to walk a bit. Construction makes it harder to navigate.”
“The cheesesteaks were on point. Cheese Whiz is a must. I walked in and the kind man behind the counter knew I had a to go order and was ready with my cheesesteaks. Such a great experience. We will be back!”
“I found my happy place here last night! Pierogies were excellent! And the cocktail with clarified milk wash and dill was absolutely perfect. Ivan took care of our group of 8 well, did a great job explaining the menu and cocktails.”
“I almost want to gate keep this shop - that’s how much I love it. The warmest service! Everytime I’ve went they have provided me with kind, genuine recommendations and explainations. They have unique lattes such as one with beetroot powder and even one protein. I haven’t seen options at other spots. I feel like I need protein in every coffee I have going forward. I didn’t feel jittery at all like I normally do. Life changing experience for real! They have special made empanadas by Boludo too, which are incredible. Other pastries I’ve seen in the case come from RMY patisserie. It’s not the biggest shop, but I’m so glad they are here.”
“I got the Jupiter Matcha and it was hands down one of my favorite Matcha drinks I have had. I loved the flavor and especially the lavender cold foam on top. Can’t wait to try the other drinks. I hope they get lots of business and can open a little earlier in the day at some point! Loved the baristas and vibes. It’s also next door to my favorite coffee shop. So it’s perfect. Favorite tea shop next to favorite coffee! Win-win!
Dietary restrictions: They offer alternative milks.
Kid-friendliness: The baristas have always been friendly and engaging with kiddos.
Wheelchair accessibility: They have ramps to get into the doors.”
“A new addition to Uptown, and a great one!
One of the best spots to go watch sports in Uptown. The TVs are great, the crowds are lively, and the food and drunks are amazing. It *is* a smaller spot, so try to get there early on game days - it gets busy fast.
We love the Cookie Shots, and the buckets are delicious too! The food has also never disappointed - I highly recommend their burgers.
Will always be coming back!”
“Francis Burger Joint NEVER MISSES 🔥🔥🔥🔥 So good, go get your burgers and shakes and drinks, people.
Vegetarian options: It's a vegan restaurant, duh. Options for gluten free as well!
Parking: Easy to access lot with plenty of spaces (we came for old-people dinner at 4)”
“The staff were extremely friendly, attentive and gave great recommendations. We enjoyed everything we ordered and would highly recommend going here again. The volume of the place was just fine for conversation and the I enjoyed the ambiance.”
“Such a cute coffee shop! Chia tea latte was delicious
Dietary restrictions: Dairy free options
Kid-friendliness: Little book corner”
“This rainy Wednesday was slow at Darling, but I predict it won't stay slow for long. Our food was superb. We shared a side of the amazing, perfectly roasted cauliflower (had the piri piri mayo on the side as it is spicy). My date had a cheeseburger and fries and I had the beef short ribs with breakfast potatoes (because I can't handle milk and there is a little bit in the polenta). Tasty key lime pie. Everything was very satisfying. Friendly staff. I'm so happy that great food has returned to this location.”
“We had a great time! Cocktails were tasty and I really enjoyed the smash burger and fries. The cocktail room has a great vibe too, especially on a cold winter day.”
“The atmosphere is not a vibe as there's not really decor or any comfortable furniture but the food was delicious. I ordered the fried rice, chicken, and plantain meal. It took a long time but she was so friendly and kind. My food was absolutely delicious. I would definitely eat here again. Thank you!”
“First of all I would like to say I love how this has brought new life to the space. It was so dead before, now there is new life!
First of all you do pay upfront.
I have tried a number of hot pot places in Minnesota and chicago, and I think this is very comparable to the others. I liked that you could choose up to 3 broths, so we tried the original, mushroom and Korean seafood broth. All 3 were very flavorful, the original was my favorite. The Korean seafood was tasty with a little spice.
They also had a make your own sauce station, I would suggest that they put up recipes for common easy sauces. This makes it easier for first time hot potters, who don't know where to start.
You order everything from an ipad, so convenient. I would suggest ordering in chunks. We ordered a lot the first round and a couple of things were missed. We later just ordered in smaller parts.
It is all you can eat. Since you do pay upfront please be mindful about food waste.
I thought the quality of everything we got was great and they had a lot of variety of things to try.
The only downside is this place is small compared to other places. They made a table for 4 into a table for 5, the problem here was that the 5th chair was blocking the walkway a little, so when the robots were delivering the food they couldn't move because it was being blocked.
Overall I would recommend this place.”
“I kinda had low expectations because I wasn't hearing enough good reviews but overall I thought the sandwich was pretty good!
The egg was just the right amount of salty. I got the spam one & enjoyed it for the most part. The bread was nice and soft. There was a taller gentleman manning the counter & calling your name up, he was very nice.
But I will say I had 2 complaints:
1) The eggs/filling pops out of the buns too much & theres a 100% chance you're going to spill some of your food as you take your bite. Expect it to get messy lol
2) it took a while to get the sandwich. I think there were maybe 4 people in line but still took 15-20mins for a sandwich.
I think they should ditch the fancy plastic packaging tbh, bc you're just going to toss it away in 10mins and if so, the cost that you're paying includes that 10min package 🤷♀️
Theres only metered street parking & this is on U of M campus so expect some difficulty trying to find a spot. I went in a 12pm Friday afternoon luckily.”
“Great food! Great service! Exceptional kitchen management!”
