The Buttered Tin - St. Paul (Lowertown)

My meal of the potato hash with salmon was so greasy it made me sick. The grease
went through the to-go box AND the paper sack! The salmon was way over cooked. Will never go back. Yuk!

20% surcharge just to pay your waitstaff $19 an hour is straight up theft.

Do yourself a favor and get a whole mess of maple fennel sausage patties. SO GOOD.

I didn’t understand why the cashier was also responsible for making drinks. It seemed to slow the line down for ordering.

Food tasted good. The plates were not full for the price paid.
They took our order at the counter and brought the food to the table. The restaurant was VERY cold.
Total for 4 was $94. Only three of us got a drink and one was a decaf- nothing fancy. One plate was 3 pancakes with a few grapes and orange slices along with a small butter and syrup -not enough for three pancakes. Another was a burrito (along with a few sprinkled grapes and an orange slice- nothing spectacular)
You are forced to pay an additional 20% "living wage fee" and under this notice, they let you know this doesnt include tip. (I usually tip 20% but after being forced to give them part of their wage I did not feel 40% total was logical)
If the food, (quantity and quality) and service, (they take your order) and (cold)atmosphere was worth 40%, I may have offered something more, but this was over the top and definitely not worth it. Wont be back.

This restaurant was decent, overall. We came on a weekend, so it was busy and we had to wait a while to order (you stand in line, order at the counter, then sit down). We ordered the eggs Benedict, a sandwich, and a couple of pastries, all of which tasted quite good and fresh (however, the side veggies with the Benedict were a bit mushy)

Gotta like the BT! Menu, service, and food are all top tier...prices add up on an order, which is to be expected I guess, though at least you know you're getting quality service and dishes!

The food was good, but I didn't appreciate the 20% "living wage fee" added to my bill. It felt greedy, especially considering that the place has counter service. I will not be returning.

My husband & I ordered the soft scramble, biscuits and gravy, and the banana foster French toast. My favorite was the biscuits and gravy. They use a cheddar & tyme biscuits that really elevated the classic flavor. I was a little iffy on the French toast since they use baguettes but they knew what they were doing. The loaded hash browns is a must! Best hash browns I've ever had. The bell peppers and onions were such a nice touch. Definitely a go to breakfast spot ??

Even though we got there about an hour before they closed, the staff was friendly and did not rush us while we were ordering. The pomegranate mimosa was great, the pancakes and huevos rancheros were delicious, my only complaint was the cinnamon roll was a little bland and dried out.

Variety of breakfast options.

Excellent chai latte. Even better walleye tacos! My friend likes the huevos rancheros. Street parking fills up quickly, but not if you get there right when they open. Kettle chips are yummy.

The birthday cake I ordered was delicious, but I wish I hadn't had to go in person to make changes to my order -- no one answered the phone over about three days of calls.
