Comfort Food Restaurants near Minneapolis, MN

“I had a long layover in Minneapolis and wanted to try Somalian food. The food was very good. I explained to the man working the counter that it was my first time trying Somalian food, so he was helpful explaining the dishes and making recommendations. I felt very welcomed. Would recommend“

“The vibe, view and ambiance are stunning, super cute, and very instagramable: my Gen-Z opinion ;).
I went there for a work lunch, and the vibe fit very well. We had a Smash burger with a pickle, a chicken sandwich with a small portion of coleslaw, and a salad. Substitutions were able to be made easily and came out correctly. Just so you know, entrees not coming with a side is something you need to know in advance. The food tasted very well, was well-flavored, and had a good portion size. Overall, very good experience and would come here again for any occasion. The outside seating looks great for the summer.“

“I just wanted to thank the People at New Rules again!! I used the space to hold my birthday party. Everyone loved the unique space they offer. They were super easy to work with and very responsive with communication and questions. I would highly recommend them as an event space.“

“Had been waiting for this location to open back up. This is not a traditional setup but is an amazing concept. It is setup like a cafeteria. First you pick box, platter, or bowl then select your meat, before moving to side selection, and finally paying. Everything is boxed in front of you. While the menu choices are paired down, there is still a great selection of meats, sides, and desserts. I don't know if you could have dessert as a side option at a regular Famous Dave's but this one does allow that, which is a nice choice if you want a meat, side, and dessert. As far as prices, they are comparable. Without a drink, you could spend $10-20 a person. Potions sizes are good and for things like the ribs, you can pick 4, 6, or 12 sections. This location also still has the Family Feasts, which is a great option when you want to feed a few people.“

“Great place with great owners who are real team players!“

“I love the original malt shop it a amazing place to go and super romantic place for a first date ❤️“

“Hoooolee… wow.. came here by a trusted friends recommendation. Got the tom kha, naem sour ribs, and cream cheese wontons and I’m just buzzing about them.

Something that happens when you order tom kha at a restaurant is that the chicken is dry and tough even though it’s in soup, the mushrooms are undercooked, maybe they just get the whole flavor profile wrong (at least for what I’m looking for). But this. This is exactly what I pray for out of every bowl of Tom Kha that I order anywhere. I came in honestly when I probably shouldn’t have because I shouldn’t be eating out, but the food looks so good from my friends social media post that I bit the bullet. The prices seemed really steep initially and now thinking maybe they’re not underselling. The portions are plentiful and flavors just so well crafted, each individual ingredient cooked perfectly and extremely fresh.

The saem sour is a flavor I’ve never tried before, and it’s so delightful on these itty bitty short ribs. Sticky, succulent, a lil jammy… fricken awesome.

The cream cheese wontons were pretty good, not my personal winner but still great. What was outstanding about them was the tamarind sauce I ordered along side.

Anyway, I don’t leave reviews too often, but these dishes were seriously compelling. Thank you HOT GRAINZ!!“

“Good Day Cafe was a a restaurant focusing on breakfast we found on our recent trip to Minneapolis. They had a menu full of awesome looking breakfast dishes. I tried the Crab Cake Eggs Benny which came with an English muffin, homemade crab cakes, 2 poached eggs, and of course hollandaise sauce. I came with some home fry style potatoes as well. This was one of the best breakfast dishes I've ever had the privilege of eating. The potatoes were excellent but that eggs Benny was a legend. Specifically the crab cake was soooo good and had sooooo much flavour. Words can't do justice to how good it is. You just need to try it. My wife enjoyed her German pancake almost as much as I enjoyed my Eggs Benny. The restaurant was so bright and vibrant with lots of sunflower decor around. The service was excellent as well. This was a super awesome place and if I lived in the area I'd be here all the time.“

“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.“

“cozy atmosphere good service and above all good taste“
