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“

“Amazing food, a little pricey but not outrageous. Had some of the best buffalo cauliflower mac ever. They do not allow non-vegan food in their area of the food court which I think is neat. Also, check out the Somali Museum on the lower floor of this building! Updated from previous review on 2026-09-20“

“Really happy I gave this a try. First ever Banh Mi sandwich and it was really good.
Went with the Beef, (the safe choice according to the very helpful server) and it was very tasty. Had a very slight kick to it that was just right.
Baguette was perfect.
Place was spotless.
Staff was very friendly, had conversations with everyone who walked in.“

“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.“

“I represent the old school that remembers this as Anthony's Warf. Back when they played Grateful Dead before the preppy crowd showed up. Loved this spot back in that day.
A group of college buddies and I decided to re-create our wonderful happy hour days there under its new name, the Cabana Club.
I got there early, around 4 o'clock, to reserve a table for 6 - 8 people. They were totally unwilling to work with me, saying that they needed at least half my group to be able to give me a table. Then, when half my group showed up, they still would not give me a table for six. Make up your mind! We ended up with six people, crammed around a table for four. Not the end of the world but ...
That being said, they had a good crowd on a Tuesday night. Just keep it in mind that they won't accommodate your group unless they all show up on time. Unrealistic.
Once we had a table, our server, Matt, was outstanding. HH beer at $5 was a good deal and the HH Smash Burgers were very good. Still an outstanding location.“

“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!“

“Friendly staff. Fast service. Food was very good. I recently moved to Saint Paul and will definitely return to this establishment. 😁“

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

“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.“

“Excelente Food. But a caution. They cook authentic Thai food, so there heat/spicy meter is higher than most other restaurants in MN. So if u can't handle spicy stick to non spicy dishes because mild is not in their vocabulary.

Food is delicious strongly recomendado.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Great selection of delicious food, generous portions, and reasonable prices! 😋 I ordered one of their Grab meals, and the serving was so big that I still had leftovers!

I also like how their ordering system works. You can choose Grab 1, Grab 2, and so on, depending on how many entrées you want. There are plenty of tasty options to choose from, and you definitely get your money’s worth.

The cashier was really nice and friendly, which made the experience even better. Overall, great food, great portions, and great value! I'll definitely be coming back!“

“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.“

“Been here twice now. Both times the food was delicious. The Mac and cheese is outstanding. I got it as it is on the menu with lobster on our first visit and on our second, my wife asked them to make it with no seafood but with grilled chicken instead. They were happy to do so and it was still amazing. Tried a different app and dessert each time as well and they were all tasty. Our server informed us a fall menu was just around the corner and I will be there for it! Hope this young restaurant stays around a long time.“

“This stand had great french toast with pop rocks. The lines went fast. The service was good. I would come here again when visiting the fair.

Vegetarian options: Meatless meals available.

Dietary restrictions: They had meatless meals.

Kid-friendliness: They have food kids would like.

Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs. The lines would get in your way more than anything.“
