This was our first time going here. We came for breakfast and ordered country fried steak with gravy and biscuits Sausage and gravy. It was delicious. We would definitely be coming back. read more

Very good breakfast and lunch spot ..friendly staff and good fresh sandwiches, soups, salads etc. The dining area is very nice, open, clean, booths and tables. read more

Great place in the skyway for lunch, take out or dine in. Expansive selection of Wraps, Sandwiches, Salads, and items from the grill. Everything is customizable. Almost always I get a Wrap because the chips that come on the side are irresistible. Pro tip: get half chips half fruit. read more

You never can go wrong with Dave's. - I haven't ever tried something I haven't liked. It's definitely all American food but the customer service and quality are hard to beat! read more

Good food, service was fast. Stopped in for lunch during the week so it was packed with business folks! A bit pricey I think but to be expected in this area. Had a chicken pesto wrap that was very good, chips were perfect. read more

Dave's Downtown you are absolutely outstanding, I had a lovely experience here yesterday. I don't want to leave because of the atmosphere. The menu is really terrific, many excellent choices, I had to go with Chicken Tender Wrap, and it was fantastic. The service is fast and welcoming too. I would definitely recommend Dave's Downtown to others and will definitely come back in the future. read more

Quick and fantastic service - all the while maintaining quality. This would be my lunch 'go-to' if I worked here in the Oracle Centre. Try their soup/sandwich combo! read more

This place rocks!! Had a volleyball team that needed to be fed quickly on a Friday afternoon. Not real sure how this place operates so efficiently but between the team, the regulars, and the other patrons we had our food super fast with plenty of room to sit and eat. Regarding the food, huge variety purchased and all good things to be said. The desserts are strategically placed at the checkout counter (well played Dave's) and are yummy so don't pass up on a cheat day. read more

I had a truly great breakfast burrito! Be sure you're hungry before you order it, it's huge!

This was great for a speedy lunch. There was an intimidatingly long line, but it moved oretty rapidly. We ordered from the deli since we were short on time, but I would love to check out their grill options since the burgers and chicken sandwiches looked great. My fiance and I ordered wraps. I had the buffalo chicken wrap and she had a pesto chicken wrap. The chicken in both was cooked perfectly and all white meat. The flavors, particularly on the pwsto wrap, were outstanding. The dessert bar had plenty of enticing options. We bought a giant chocolate chip cookie, which was perfectly sweet and soft. Seating was readily available despite the lunch rush, since most seemed to take their food to go. The space seemed very clean and was a pleasant quick experience. read more

While visiting Minneapolis for the past three months, I have experienced several go-to places in the skyways for quick lunches. Unfortunately, quick does not always mean healthy, but it does mean cheap. Not good enough! Dave's has made the top of my list. It's not gourmet, but food is fast, fresh, and menu fits my lunch budget. I've been twice for their chicken wraps. Again, nothing fancy and basic ingredients, but very filling. And, I appreciate a side of fruit or fries to choose from. Full salad bar, sammies, wraps, large salads, soups, burgers, full meal plates, and desserts. I'm always tempted by the cookies, but still, I walk past them. Curses on you for keeping them at the cash register. :P read more

Dave should keep doing what he's doing- dependable lunch fare in the skyways. Dude's not doing organic. Bro's not into fusion. This place is boring sandwiches, wraps, basic salads- and I'm okay with that. They have a wrap with chicken tenders in it that I should stay away from (both for health reasons and because chicken tenders should graduate with you in the sixth grade)- but damn, it's good. Add in a side of their crispy kettle chips and I'm a happy camper. Also probably dozing off at my cubicle with a food baby around 1:30, because you definitely get a bang for your buck and of course I eat it all. The best part about this place is the service. I don't know if the employees are really that hyped to be making me a wrap, but sometimes I just want to leave the cash register with a fist pump of excitement they're so happy. Woo! read more

Super friendly folks, peanut butter rice krispy treats that are amazing and addicting, and some good cheap lunch options. I had a couple sandwiches, which were pretty standard, and a mushroom swiss burger with fries which was standard as well. The specials were above average, I had some four cheese pasta and the open faced turkey and both were great. It gets crowded during the 12:00-12:45 time frame, but they handle it excellently and things move fast (while still remaining super friendly!) read more

The staff is incredibly efficient and friendly - there seems to be very little turnover, which is nice because they know their menu backwards and forwards. Don't let the long line at the salad/wrap stations scare you - they will move you through in a matter of minutes. There are a lot of options for people who work downtown Minneapolis - this one is a gem. read more

The office I worked at several years ago in Richfield had a cafeteria that served made-to-order breakfast, sandwiches, and wraps (among other things). I recall loving it because it was consistently good, no matter what I ordered. And sometimes I just want a Chicken Bacon Ranch wrap and fries, which seems like a simple thing but is yet hard to find elsewhere. Shortly after taking a job downtown a coworker held our monthly team lunch at Dave's, and I knew right away I'd found my downtown replacement for that cafeteria, and then some. The food is not going to win any culinary awards and foodies may scoff at it, but I find it delicious and clutch when I have a craving for a satisfying lunch meal. You can get basically any kind of wrap, sandwich, or burger. (There is also a salad bar, if that's your thing). My personal favorites at Dave's are the Chicken Bacon Ranch Wrap and the Mushroom Swiss Chicken, both with fries (which are hot, crispy, and very tasty). The service is quick and friendly. It's a longer walk from my office to Dave's than a lot of other places, but the experience is so pleasant and hassle free that it's worth it (and the longer walk is good considering Dave's generous portion sizes). Double high five, Dave's Downtown! read more

I've only eaten breakfast at McKenna's twice and both times it was awesome. The food isn't high under or gourmet, but my sunnyside up eggs, hash browns, 5 strips of bacon, english muffin and cup of coffee... all for $5.50, really hit the spot. This is the breakfast special and it is served every day until 10am. That is awesome. The service was always quick and after my first visit, the cashier already remembered my name, which I thought was pretty impressive. Like I said, not gourmet, but a much cheaper alternative if you don't want to fork over the dough for something like Key's. I'm a big fan of MyKenna's. read more

Skyway food is all the same. But I am a big fan of Mykenna's. I have eaten breakfast there and it is really good for the price. But we usually go for lunch. They have a salad bar, a sandwich station including wraps (try the Asian chicken), a dinner style station (turkey sandwich is good) and a grill with daily specials. During lent they have really good fish and chips on Fridays. And if you are pregnant (my lunch companion not me) you get a free milk. Cashier told the story of how the owner has 9 kids and a soft spot in him for pregnant women. Definitely a great and affordable lunch. read more

I've been back several times since the discovery phase and I have to say, I'm now a fan of Dave's. It's very affordable for downtown, especially if you get a water cup instead of a soda, etc., and there are many alternating and diverse aspects of the menu; it's fantastic. I wish I'd tried this place earlier. It can get insanely busy in there until after 1pm, but after that it gets easier to find a seat. I just really like the breadth of the menu and it's so easy to grab your stuff and go. I've had several sandwiches and some pasta now, and the salads are pretty decent too. read more

I stopped here for lunch with my team from work. I had heard of this place, but had no idea it was in the AT&T building in downtown Minneapolis (in the skyway). The options are plentiful on the menu and it actually made deciding what to eat a little challenging. I ended up getting the grilled special for the day, which was a chicken sandwich with melted cheese and bacon (I forget the actual name of the sandwich), it came with fries and I grabbed a Vitamin water to drink. Walked away for under $10, which isn't bad for lunch in downtown Minneapolis. The sandwich wasn't bad and it wasn't amazing either. The chicken was cooked well, but didn't have a whole lot of flavor. The bacon helped a little, but I wasn't overly impressed with what I got. The fries were good, which I think would be hard to screw up anyways. A coworker got an Asian inspired salad which she mentioned was great and someone else got a wrap. Maybe I'll try those instead the next time I visit. Overall, good place to grab a quick lunch. I gave 3 stars because of my personal experience with what I ordered; I'll have to give it a second chance. read more

Dave's Downtown (formerly Mykenna's) is a great stop for breakfast and lunch amongst the Habitrail known as the downtown Minneapolis skyway system. They have a really delicious salad bar, which is a huge draw for me because sometimes I just want a gigantic salad for lunch. All of the ingredients were fresh, and I was full for the rest of the day (which rarely happens when I get a salad). The staff is friendly, and it seems like they have a lot of fun which adds a lighthearted feel to the restaurant. It feels very welcoming. There are a lot of choices, and I plan on trying more of their food in the future. read more

Dave's food rocks. I've only been twice but the burgers are top notch and the chicken sandwiches are great too. But go hungry, this isn't Subway. The burgers are pretty big with a generous helping of fries, which is why the price is higher than My Burger. Everything is prepared to order but the wait isn't long. The staff is incredibly friendly. read more

This is a great downtown staple for when you're in a hurry. The owner, Dave, is behind the counter himself, working hard, and I love that. It can be a bit over priced (I payed $4 for three egg whites with cheddar cheese this morning), but has great values too. Their desserts are beyond delicious (special K bars, soft cookies, rice krispie treats the size of your head!), and I love their salads and wraps. They have a full self-serve salad bar that's charged by weight as well. It's nice to have this right here, but if you eat it a few times a week for months on end, you will get sick of it. read more

This place changed its name from Mykennas to Dave's Downtown. The same friendly workers and cooks are there and the space got a little facelift. Recently went there to have the nacho salad... and as usual it was great. read more

Dave's downtown - consistently good, decent prices and friendly staff. Working in the same building, I have a bit of a bias as Dave's is a quick option with good food. Granted, if you are looking for something that is creative or tickles your taste-buds, this is probably not the place. That said, for a quick lunch you can't go wrong. Everything is always hot, has good flavor and seems to be made with fresh ingredients. Have done breakfast here a couple times and found they have both good breakfast sandwiches and make a perfect, sunny-side up egg. If you need an afternoon treat, nothing beats a warm, M&M cookie from Dave's! Overall, I would recommend Dave's to downtown workers. Probably not the place you go out of your way to eat at but a restaurant where you never go wrong. read more

First, Dave is literally the nicest human being on the planet. If you disagree, you've never met him. And you're wrong. Seriously, every time I have spoken with him, it brightens my day. The food: sprouts! They have sprouts on their sandwiches, and I love that! The bread is delicious, and this is THE lunch place if you know you're having a busy-won't-have-time-for-dinner kind of day. Super delicious and filling. Good bread, good meat, and healthy side options. Plus, the soup is great if you're having a day when you need a warm cup of soup to fill your belly. This is a must if you're ever in the Oracle building during lunch. They get busy, you might run late to wherever you're going after lunch... But I promise it's worth it. read more

I was a bit confused for a moment by the multiple lines to order, but after figuring out I wanted the feature, it was easy to order. I had a pulled beef enchilada that came with all the fixings. For $8 it was a huge amount of food! When I'm back in Minneapolis, I'll be stopping back! read more

This is the place to go for a quick, easy, high quality, great value breakfast in downtown. I've eaten breakfast there at least 100 times and they have been one of the most consistent venues I've ever been to - which is important to me in the morning before work. Never had the lunch, couldn't recommend the breakfast more highly. Go there. read more

Overall: A great burger/sandwich place in Downtown Minneapolis. Service was friendly for the most part, and I got in an out easy enough. I'd check it out if you were in the area. A few side notes: Lunch time was busy, and probably their peak time. So I would totally recommend going before or after if you want to avoid lines and get a table. read more

A little overwhelming for first timers during the lunch rush, but ultimately satisfying. There are separate lines for each type of item so make sure you're in the right one (I waited in the grill line for a minute or so before I realised). It also helps to look online ahead of time and decide what you want so you're not holding up all the hungry office workers behind you. For just over $8 after tax, I got a huge chicken Ceasar stuffed wrap and in-house potato chips. The chips weren't over-salted and the wrap had fresh, seasoned chicken, crispy Romaine lettuce, croutons, and dressing. Very tasty! read more

Lots of high quality food for a reasonable price. The large amount of people here at 11:45 on Friday tells me that I am not the only one who realizes how good the food is. I had the honey mustard chicken sandwich on an onion bun and really enjoyed my meal. They give you a large whole chicken breast with a soft fresh bun, your choice of toppings and a ton of perfectly cooked fries for only about $8. I wil be going here again. read more

I don't always eat at Dave's Downtown, but when I do, I am always happy. Their Cajun Burger is pretty much what I typically get here. However, on my most recent trip, I got their French Dip, which was fantastic. Other than that, they've got a selection of sandwiches, salads, etc. I know that there are lots of D.Brian's loyalists in Downtown Minneapolis, but I think Dave's is much better. read more

I used Dave's Downtown for a catering order this morning and the service and food was fabulous. I highly recommend and will be ordering again when we need catering in two weeks. read more

Dave's (used to be McKenna's) is a great skyway stop to grab a bite. You likely won't find another place like this in the skyway. When you've got an appetite in the skyway, your choices aren't necessarily limited, but you usually have to go somewhere that only serves something specific like Subway, Bruegger's Bagels, a pizza place or a spot that only serves ethnic cuisine. Dave's on the other hand is quite the contrary which is the best thing about the place, it offers the gift of choice, and plenty of it. It's a much larger setting compared to all of the other tiny skyway joints. Most of their kitchen is open and exposed to the rest of the restaurant so you can step up and see how your food is being cooked and handled, I respect a kitchen that has nothing to hide from its customers. I have yet to find a better salad bar anywhere in the skyway but beware cottage cheese lovers they charge by the pound. The burgers (and fries/onion rings) are phenomenal, the breakfast is great, and the baked goods are well above par. They have daily homemade specials such as turkey and gravy, chicken penne pasta, tater tot hot dish, and lasagna. They serve taco salads in a giant tortilla bowl, they've got all sorts of house soups and salads as well if you don't want to go through the salad bar. Their setup for sandwich wraps is great! They have endless choices down to the type of tortilla you want it wrapped in (corn, flour, tomato, wheat, spinach, etc.) I've honestly never had anything here that I didn't like and I've had just about everything, been a regular for six years and running, it's like Cheers... everybody knows my name at Dave's. If you've never been, and you're anywhere near the AT&T tower... you've got to stop in. read more

Great, healthy choices and fairly quick service. Convenient to Convention Center via Skyway.

This is like a cafeteria setting. You order breakfast with the cashier. And then wait for your number to be called. The cashier was very nice. We did not hear our number called and they brought the food to us. The only drawback was it they serve breakfast in these Styrofoam/cardboard containers lined with the piece of paper. So your eegs kind of stuck to the paper. They also had a very well-stocked salad bar. We had a hard time finding the place. And eventually learned it was on the second floor of the Oracle building. read more

fresh, fast good food with friendly service. Nothing wild or fancy but if you want a good meal with generous portions in a hurry, this is it. It is crowed. But it is crowded for a reason. the wait is not as long as the line would make you think- they really move! read more

I love it here at Daves. I love the food and staff. Kelly is amazing. She knows exactly what I want. I am so glad that they have my favorite pomegranate raspberry tea. Thanks for the awesome customer service! read more

Definitely a go to for breakfast or lunch. I head here once a week to grab a wrap-best in the skyway. Flavorful options and I have never had something I didn't like from here. The only bad part about Daves is they may or may not put crack in the peanut butter rice crispies!? Super addicting. read more

This was my first time here and it can be a little tough to find coming in from the street. It is in the building in the second floor around the corner. It can get pretty busy at lunch and seating can all be taken but the lines all go pretty quick. A good spot for lunch with multiple options to choose from and generous portion sizes. I had the Cajun penne pasta special which I recommend. A good spice to pasta. read more

Tried this place for the first time this morning and based solely on their breakfast, I'd definitely recommend giving it a try. I had the breakfast special which got me 2 eggs, 4 strips of bacon, 4 slices of toast, hash browns, and a drink for just over 6 bucks, which is a pretty good deal if you ask me. My only complaint is that I thought the hash browns were kinda mushy and bland, but they had a good variety of hot sauce so that wasn't very hard to fix once I sat down to eat. After glancing at the menu while waiting for my order, it looks like they have some great lunch options as well, which I will definitely be back soon to try. Good experience overall. Will absolutely be back sometime soon. read more
