“Hollandberry Pannekoeken is the go-to breakfast spot my wife and I patronize when we are seeking breakfast in Rochester, Minnesota. Her chorus recently competed in the Sweet Adelines International region 6 competition held at the Mayo Civic Center and visited Hollandberry on our way back to the greater Twin Cities area. I ordered the Dutch Skillet and was not disappointed. The service is friendly and efficient and the atmosphere is busy but open. Highly recommend.”

“Amazing options of food and drinks”

“This is the only restaurant that I have worked at that I will ALWAYS come back to. For the atmosphere, live music, the incredible staff (no, not favoring because I worked here, totally different staff), the food is consistent and the drinks- chefs kiss (Ryan is FANTASTIC)! Something about coming here is like coming home, it's very cozy and intimate! A best kept secret of Rochester for sure! I must add that the staff are seemingly genuine and you can tell they enjoy their jobs- not like other restaurants where you get a fake nice.”

“I’ve eaten here 5 times this past 2 1/2 months. The food is unbelievable . Unique dishes, great flavors, good service. I think best Mexican restaurant in Rochester !”

“Amazing staff, excellent coffee and a great menu - it's on our way to Mayo Clinic and we stop in every time we have to go to Mayo. Supporting small local businesses by purchasing items in the gift section is a good choice too!”

“service was tops. food very good and efficient. atmosphere great.”

“This place is AMAZING. First off the food and service are incredible. But what keeps my family going again and again is the fact that they are SO sweet about medical stuff (being right by Mayo that is HUGE). I can recall several examples of the staff being supportive towards my mom who has been living with end stage cancer for years now. We go EVERY appointment and surgery scheduled in Rochester. In fact - we are going tonight!”

“I'm really confused by the Facebook reviews saying only 78% recommend Little Thistle. Between their spacious taproom and outdoor seating, delicious beer, friendly staff, well-organized events, and ongoing support for the community, Little Thistle has been a favorite for years!”

The mozzarella sticks were so delicious! We loved the local beer choices & they even had my favorite cider "Ace pear". The service was great! We can't wait to come back!”

“Visited on 2/23/2025 for dinner, had Guinness fish and chips. One of the best meals I've had in a long time. My wife had Shepard's pie and she raved about it. Ashley G was our server that day and was excellent. Was so good we went back for lunch 2/26/2025. I had the Celtic Meat loaf, and my wife had Shepard's pie again. Chris W. was our server and was also excellent. For the atmosphere and service wad above pare and prices were very reasonable. I would whole hardily recommend you eat here if you visit Rochester, MN”

“My experience has been nothing but short of amazing in here. Adrian the owner provides such great customer service, their food is soo good and on top of that their food is halal! Highly recommend this place perfect for a quick bit or even take out!”

“The patio could be the location for Lord of the Flies! I enjoyed the Onion Rings appetizer and Fish & Fries. The food was good but I had to cover the food with napkins because there were so many flies. I asked a server to turn up the ceiling fans to blow them away and was told that was the highest speed available. I guess that was the easiest answer because the fan was barely moving. They can do much better.”

“Excellent custom service, The lady at the register explained every food item to me. I bought fresh baked bread and some sweets there. Very pleased with the service.”

“Best tacos in Rochester the pastor is amazing and the prices are very good too always leave full”

“Always great food! Great service and atmosphere! I absolutely love their pancakes!”

“This is where the locals eat!

We love stopping here during our many trips from Twin Cities to Rochester and back.

The breakfast reminded me of hearty farm breakfasts. We could taste the difference it makes with fresh ingredients. They put a lot of care into preparing the meals and delivering to the table. Again, it felt like being on the family farm.

Everyone is friendly and the locals stream in all morning!

Wonderful Midwest dining experience!”
