Corey PartinDecember 6, 2016Be ready to wait, but know that it's worth it! The food is crazy good (try the Nutella pancackes!), the service is friendly and the eclectic decor makes for a fun experience overall.
Cheryl WardMarch 24, 2017The food was amazing! Our server Michele was incredibly sweet, she went above and way beyond. Permanently a favorite now and will recommend to everyone!
Corey DurnoJune 4, 2013Grand Marais plate with trout. Funky decor and friendly staff. This place reminds you of your grandmothers house and the food is just as good. Skip the chains and come here. No wait on a weekday.
Mary GastApril 13, 2013Cornedbeef hash was amazing! We got the biscuits and gravy, side of bacon, and a pancake. Eggs were closer to medium than over easy but still good.
The breakfast burrito is amazing. Such a fun spot.
Latonia NettlesJanuary 15, 2022Eggs Benedict was amazing! Husband had the chalkboard scrambled eggs, it looked amazing and he said it tasted really good. We will be back
Ned WrightAugust 20, 2014Great service, good food. The oatmeal is perfectly prepared and a good choice if your looking for something healthy. Go for an omelette is if you're hungry.
Amy SullivanJanuary 17, 2015Perfect breakfast spot. Be prepared to wait, totally worth it. Service is fast and friendly. They know their business well.
- Wendy Louise NogSeptember 2, 2010We love going here for breakfast. The kids can play on the grass outside while we drink coffee and wait. The staff is super friendly, and the food is good. I think they have the best burger in town
Nicole NyarkoOctober 31, 2017Loved the bacon pancake and the Bloomington breakfast sandwich, plus the house fries! I will be back!
Emilie HendersonOctober 13, 2018The American Potatoes and the BYO omelette. There was about a half hour wait to be seated, but it doesn’t take long for your food to be served after you order.
NealFebruary 16, 2015Good little breakfast spot. Come early or be ready to wait. But you get free coffee while you wait.
Alondra KingmanApril 5, 2014The potatoes are the best breakfast potatoes in Minneapolis. And their eggs Benedict is up there too.
David SchwenJune 2, 2014Great atmosphere! And you MUST try the pancakes with lingonberry butter. So good!- David SchwenMarch 15, 2015$3 mimosas. Yes. Very busy and hard to get a table - but totally worth it!
- Hailey SmithOctober 13, 2018The fried potatoes are so delicious but the service wasn’t the best. It took 30 minutes to be sat. Food came quick. Had to wait 10 minutes after receiving my food for a fork and another 5 for a knife.
Get the peanut butter pancakes with a side of lingonberry for PB & J pancake awesomeness!
Jen V.December 22, 2012Best breakfast spot in minne. Unique, charming, great food & awesome staff. Yum!
Lisa Hlynka-NiemillerJuly 24, 2021Had eggs Benedict was yummy! Would have over easy next time vs poached.
Paul DanhauserFebruary 21, 2010Get here early so you can sign in late and wait a long time because it's that awesome. Love me some Hot Plate. Great place to bring your wife just because.
Staff is great! The food I love especially those fried potatos!
Mary PApril 3, 2011The pumpkin buckwheat waffle is delicious! And expect a wait if you arrive after 10am on the weekend.
Hannah AFebruary 1, 2013The eggs Benedict is amazing! Tap beer and mimosas all day!!! Great little spot.
Matt MalyApril 3, 2011Miss eating dinner there. Great place becuz of combination: food, staff, ambiance, kitsch.
Dingo was a lot of fun--Thursdays in the winter--and the lemon cupcake was DELICIOUS. Thanks guys!
Chris WexlerJanuary 23, 2010The Breakfast Burritto is amazing. Way big but great. Highly recommended. Oh, my friend Susan loved the Grand Marais Omlet.- Justin WareDecember 2, 2009The Buckwheat Pumpkin Waffles are as advertised ...awesome! But expect a long wait for a table ...made better by the coffee you can pour yourself while waiting.
Wendy HelgesonDecember 12, 2010Awesome place to use as your virtual office - food is great, the weekdays are quiet and staff very friendly.
- Grand Marais Scramble (with lake trout) is excellent, as are the pancakes.
