The biscuits and pie are always very good. Mini pies and by the slice satisfy the sweet and savory fixes for the week. This past weekend, I tried a new lox biscuit that had recently been added. It was delicious! Coastal Seafoods in a few doors down. I don't know if that's where they source salmon. It was silky and tasty. What really impresses me are the eggs. They are perfect! Sunnyside up with a crown of egg white cradling a perfectly runny yolk. These are so consistent. Staff are very friendly. You order at the counter and they serve you at the table. My neighborhood is a few blocks east. But Snelling and Selby Avenues are St Paul's own little Eat Street. The news that Groundswell in the Midway neighborhood was very sad. If you are looking for a similar level of deliciousness, head down to Hot Hands.

Our first visit was on "Pie" Day. The line was long and…read morewell worth the wait. The shop was very welcoming with inviting decor and nice seating options. The staff was friendly and welcoming in spite of the waiting crowd. We took advantage of the Bogo and enjoyed the banana cream and lemon meringue pies. The banana cream was yummy with fresh bananas and whipped cream. The lemon meringue was tangy and delicious. The CRUST on both was sooooo good. Real crust that stood up to the wonderful abundant fillings. The ham and cheese popovers were delicious and flavorful the next day. We'll be back for the key lime experience!

Both were unimpressive in flavor and yet these were nine dollar sandwiches. I'm not a snob about fast food, that's why I take a crack at Hardee's once in a while, but you can eat cheaper and better in this neighborhood. I will say that I very much noticed the friendliness and professionalism of the people behind the counter. The people working at this Hardee's would not be out of place in a more high quality establishment.

Mistake, or just one of those situations where they judge the strips to be a little short so they compensate with an extra. Whatever, I found them nicely flavored and ever so slightly overdone. Really only a touch, and you gotta admit that's better than the opposite problem. It came with plenty of dipping sauce, chosen out of a wide spice range. I got medium ("Coop") and liked it very much, I would get that exact one again unless I wanted to try other ones which seems like it might be a good idea. Also it came with a side of mac & cheese (substituted from fries) and that was very good. I will DEFINITELY get that again. This is a nice, quick, easy chicken option.

First experience here, and was driven to try it due to a Delta skymiles perk. We ordered to go and…read moreI arrived early and food was not ready, totally fine, I was early. Space is utilitarian. I would probably always get it to go after being in the space. The staff were nice, and the food was ready when promised. All three eaters gave the food a C or C+ rating. The fries were the best part, very good - even after being in a to go container. Had we reinvigorated them in the air fryer they would have been even better. Chicken was good, but not great. Spice level was accurate. Cole slaw was warm, which is not a temperature cole slaw should be. The sauce that comes with is not my thing, and the 16 year old said it was a copy or Raising Canes sauce. Overall not a bad experience by any means, we just won't be hurrying back.

One of the best things about MyBurger is how honest the menu feels. Good deals, decent portions, and none of the nickel-and-diming that has become standard everywhere else. It all comes together in a way that makes this place feel like a local staple. They run a couple of deals and are busy but not too busy during the rush. The service was fast and every staff member was nice! If you want an affordable burger that tastes better than fast food, give it a shot!!

The service is always phenomenal, and the calmer, less hectic vibe compared to the college campus location makes every visit extra enjoyable.

The food here is great--especially the asparagus, red pepper, and goat cheese quiche. Downsides: very few outlets, so it's not ideal for working. The chai is disappointing--too honey-forward and not spiced like real chai--and I wish they offered matcha lattes like the other location. This spot is about a 3.5/5. The other location earns a 4.5/5 thanks to far more bakery options, better service, and matcha (still losing half a point for the same bad chai).

They did have a huge selection of bread loaves to take home! I LOVED their lentil sausage soup - some of the best soup I've had in a while! My brother enjoyed his scone and bread loaf.

The kitchen is only open for breakfast and lunch service M-F, but if you stop by outside of those hours you can still grab stuff from the cold case! The pita chips ($3.99) are always a must for me, and I usually pair with the labneh ($4.99), a Lebanese yogurt chese, which is AMAZING but they were out today--but Ed was kind enough to give us a complimentary tub of the baba ganoush ($5.29) to try which was delicious!! My go-to here is always the chicken + garlic sandwich ($10). I've tried the bowl, I've tried the falafel, but that sandwich is just TOO good. Comes with lettuce, pickles, and fries on it, with the option to add jalapeños--and I always do! You can add a side of fries to any entree for $1.50 which is a steal--items all made to order, so the sandwich comes out fresh and the fries are hot and crispy every time! The food is best when it's fresh out of the kitchen; so it was really cool to see today that they've added a couple of tables--two small standing hi-tops in the store, and a couple of picnic tables outside. It may be unassuming from the outside, but don't be fooled--Ed's packs an absolute punch of flavor and is one of my favorite spots in the metro.
