“Sitting here in the cafe, and trying to remember when I have had such a great breakfast. Atmosphere is low key, relaxed, server was friendly and attentive. Food was extremely good. I had the sunrise and I added a waffle with OJ and coffee. Everything was fresh and hot. I live in lakeville and am in New Hope for an errand. I would drive back up here to eat again“
“UNDER NEW MANAGEMENTYou need to come here for your chicken and Soul food!If you've ever been here before then you need to circle back and try again.The Lion's Den Soul Food Cafe & Krispy Krunchy chicken is worth every ⭐.The first moment I entered, it is clean. You can tell they value cleanliness.All food is cooked to order so it's nice, fresh, and hot.There are many food options for varying budgets.The service was friendly and respectful in communicating with customers.My friend and I purchased chicken (white and dark meat) yams, collard greens, JoJo potatoes, and cornbread.The chicken was so flavorful and Krunchy. The greens were well seasoned and bussin'. The only words to describe the sides were "delicious and filling".Check it out. Today was the grand reopening and worth it. I'll be back and bringing others with next time.“

“I just went through here. I've never stopped to eat even though I go through MSP regularly. The self ordering thing is kinda weird. and when i thought i was done, i was waiting for someone to come by with a bill and the guy told me i had to do it by logging into the qrcode link again. I almost walked out of there thinking I had somehow paid because the website was done with me. I'm pretty sure other people left without paying as i was going in because i overheard staff pointing out a group that had just walked out. This self service phone system is garbage and it's all in an effort to cut labour costs and staffing.My food was good, it came quickly, i was in, done and out in under 35 minutes. There was a guy working near me and he was very helpful and friendly. He told me how the place worked (i obviously looked clueless), he brought my food and drinks, checked on me, and told me about the going back in the website to pay when i was obviously done. His help and advice was all unprompted, he understands the job. He is an older black gentleman, maybe 50-60 yrs old? I was there in some time in the afternoon. Anyways, he deserves a raise.I took a quick flip through the low 1 star ratings and i didn't get some of them at all. Those who said nobody greeted them at the entrance...there's a sign saying you can seat yourself although i'll admit the design of the entrance makes it look like someone will take you to a table.“
“Ate here with my son for the first time and had the Cajun rubbed wings. These are heavily breaded btw (super yummy if u like that, I love grilled and thought it was that because I was hangry lol) my son got the juicy Lucy or something but omg it looked ah-mazing and I rarely eat ?!!??? loved the staff, loved my server, saucy blond minx who is also a bar-tendress, and was a hoot n’ a half☺️✨ I will be back! Normally I just walk by as I walk my dog with my cigar in hand and smile at the joyous vibe that creeps out onto the street outside. That’s a great restaurant when you have that going on.☘️??? Walkability: If you have to park up near davannis or the mortuary it’s a short walk.Food & drinks: The servers and bartenders were shaking and making and giggling with regulars. I loved it. just ask them what’s good or look (or sniff lol) and they will tell you. It’s easy to see that nothing looked short of rockstar!“
“Fisrt time trying RJ Riches. Went for breakfast on a Sunday. Got there during a busy rush, but still got seated fairly quickly. The breakfast portions are huge! Everything we ordered tasted delicious! Despite being super busy, our waitress was attentive and professional. This place is definitely on our list for a regular breakfast spot!“
“Best breakfast spot on my list. The food last time had a couple issues, but every other time I've visited, they have been fantastic.You usually have to park in the street, but I think it's because they just don't have enough parking. Every time I've gone there however, there is no wait. The food comes out surprisingly fast, despite how busy they look. Their service is average otherwise.The atmosphere is very nice with plenty of booths, and nice lighting. Better than most breakfast spots.“
“This is a humble but delicious restaurant. The staff (family owned!) are super friendly and hospitable. The portions are generous and the prices vary reasonable. I always struggle when I eat here choosing between the steak and the gyros. It's all so good!“
“The staff is helpful and friendly. We got to talk with the owner for a bit and learned that the bread is fresh made in house, and the bacon is smoked in house as well. The food is delicious! The restaurant itself is clean and comfortable.“
