    I went to Fat Nats Eggs and it was just OK. When you walk in you pick your own seat, and it was pretty packed since it was brunch time, so I found a table in the corner. Service was quick and they brought coffee right away, which was actually the best part of my meal. The inside has a classic diner feel and nothing to complain about there. I ordered the green chili Mexican egg plate, kind of like chilaquiles, and was excited when it came out fast. Unfortunately, it was very bland. I get that we are in the Midwest, but it had no spice at all and was missing salt or any real flavor. After about half the meal, it just started to taste repetitive and dull. The service was still fast and I was done in about 35 minutes total. I probably would not go back unless I was trying something completely different on the menu.

    Huevos Rancheros Carnitas -- crispy tortillas stacked with eggs, tender carnitas, zesty ranchero sauce & all the fixings.

    Fat Nat's is a great spot for comfort food--huge portions, packed with flavor, great value, and super quick service. Always hits the spot!

    First time here. I was great. Place is open from 7 to 1 daily. Parking is great in the morning as I went at 930. Parking could be a challenge later. Place was busy. Got a seat really quick. Waiter came quickly after sat down. Great table side manner. Ordered the Julie. Very favorable done perfectly.

    Quite busy on a Saturday AM. We had about a 15 minute wait. * Service was friendly and prompt. Waiter was great! * Pancakes were large and excellent! * Eggs and hasbrowns were excellent but slightly cold when served *Chicken wild rice soup was watery and under seasoned. Overall breakfast was good here but not great. I would come back again and try something else to make sure but at this point it's a solid 3 stars!

    Amazing food! Sat at the counter, which is low seating, not those high bar counter and stools, very comfortable. Got Fat Nat's Omelet with wheat toast ...delish and loved every bite. The coffee was good too! Will be back!

    The food came fast and the servers were sweet. The portions of the food is a lot and well worth your buck. I got the Julie's with hash browns and pancake. It was absolutely delicious. The place is very small and welcoming. Def a great place for breakfast.

    We live in Brooklyn Park but drive out of our way to this location in St.Anthony as it is the best. The food and service are miles better then the other locations. Portions are huge and nicely served. We opted for the pancake instead of toast. It has a slight almond flavor to it which is delicious. You can swap a pancake for the toast for no extra charge, which i would highly recommend. We usually get either the Norm's omelette, Mike's omelette or the huevos con papas favorito. They food and service are always consistent when we visit.

    11/10 would recommend! On vaca in MN, my grandmother suggested going to this wildly popular, local brekfasty diner place. We walked in and there were people lined up out the door (it was Sunday after church)! BUT it was only a 15 minute wait. Gave us sometime to catch up and enjoy the sun! We were sat && were immediately greeted by multiple servers welcoming us in - that's the Midwest for ya. We all ordered and within 15 minutes we had all of our food! The husband ordered their Pulled Pork BBQ sandwich w/ "American" fries && over easy eggs and 1 pancake on the side. The pulled pork was sweet w/ a tang && get it with an egg on top - it's a life changer. The pancake was HUGE and didn't take away from the flavor - super sweet && a hint of almond ecstract. I ordered their breakfast Green Chili Huevos w/ carnitas. It was delish! Over easy eggs && spicy verde sauce - my game all the way! My cousin ordered their biscuits and gravy w/ over easy eggs && hash browns w/ cheese. YUM! And lastly. The Grandma got Eggs Benedict w/ big ol slices of ham and crispy hash brown. She said - tasted good like always. Overall this place was an awesome choice && EVERYONE was pleased && not an empty stomach in the house! The best part besides the amazing food was the service! AMAZING!

    Eggs, potatoes and carnitas with Hatch green chili sauce.  Excellent!

    Our go to breakfast place had a power outage so we headed to Fat Nat's. What a great local place! Lots of traditional choices and a lean into New Mexico influenced dishes that were amazing! Service was spot on despite the place being packed. In and out in an hour for a party of 8.

    Came here for breakfast with my mom. They were very short staffed with only 2 people taking care of everyone in the restaurant. They first sat us at a 2 person table-there was so many things on the table there is no way to have room for plates so we asked to move to a bigger table. Server took our order and food came out pretty quick. I got the basic ehh, bacon, and American fries. My mom got the corn beef hash. The bacon came out too crispy with the ends being black. My mom said her breakfast tasted good. There was so many potatoes that we brought them home and was able to have them as a side for dinner that night. Server did redeem her server by flagging us down to let us know we forgot our leftovers on the table. I would try this place again if I lived in the area vs out of state

Although it is mostly popular with a younger, well-to-do crowd, the owners make an effort to contribute to social justice through anti-ICE organizing, free hygeine supplies in gender-neutral bathrooms, etc. It gets super busy during the Saturday brunch hours, so be prepared to wait a bit! We were lucky and got a table quickly but it was very crowded and loud for a bit. They seemed a bit short-staffed, too, although everyone we encountered was still friendly and helpful. The food and drinks are superb! The portions are on the smaller side but they're actually priced accordingly, which is rare these days. We highly enjoyed the waffle and the pork cutie.

Great things: my espresso martini was amazing. As an espresso martini addict, I'd consider this one a top in the cities. The patio space is fantastic, every single person got greeted when they walked in and thanked when they walked out. The bartender was very friendly and even gave us a suggestion for somewhere to go after for dinner. Unfortunate thing: The service. We didn't actually start at the bar. We started at a table on the patio and sat for about 10 minutes watching the server walk around us, she was obviously busy so that was fine, but after seeing 3 tables served who came in after us she finally walked to our table and said she'd be right with us after she put in the orders. Cool cool. Well, unfortunately, when she came back outside she did not come to our table and instead walked around taking orders from more people who came in after us and that's when we decided 20 minutes was too long and we went into the bar where the services was good. The outdoor server did apologize to us, and we do understand she was busy, but at that point we nixed the appetizer and just had cocktails due to it being later than planned and wanting to get to dinner. I'd definitely go again, like I said - fantastic espresso martini, but I did want to be honest about my experience.

My opinions are just as much rooted in the emotion attached to each bite. We live in Texas but spend lots of time in the Twin Cities. I'm a vegetarian, so I put off going to Diane's Place because it felt like the options for me were relatively limited. Boy, am I kicking myself for waiting! I told my wife after our first meal at Diane's Place this weekend that I compared the first bite (which happened to be the green scallion croissant) to my responses to certain music. As a musician and audiophile, hearing something moving or stirring can illicit a very visceral emotional response. I experienced a very similar response with that very first bite. My appreciation for the art of cuisine brought to perfection by Diane Moua literally caused my eyes to well up. This may sound like hyperbole, but it is not. The egg rolls were light and crispy and oddly nostalgic. The bamboo & cabbage swimming in coconut curry was my entree. On its own, it is perfectly balanced with the right amount of salt, acid, and umami. I tacked on some sticky rice and Hmong hot sauce...use with caution! It's potent but so delicious. Given Diane's background in pastry, don't skip dessert! We loved our experience so much on Sunday for dinner that we very quickly made a brunch reservation for Tuesday.

First off, plenty of private on-site parking, which is always a win in the city. Inside, the space is stunning. Large windows line most of the walls, flooding the café with warm, natural light. There's an impressive variety of seating depending on your vibe--couches, high-top tables, standard tables, bar-style seating facing the gorgeous large windows, and even solo setups if you're craving true alone time. Thoughtful and inviting in every way. The service was equally lovely. Monroe, the barista who helped me, made a spectacular Iced Brown Sugar Honey Latte--so good I ordered a second after I finished my first one. He was happy to answer all of my questions about the bakery items, breakfast offerings, and the horchata lattes that caught my eye. I ultimately went with the Chicken Chilaquiles, and wow... that was absolutely the right move. The dish featured warm, juicy chunks of chicken breast over crispy fried tortilla chips, topped with fried eggs, sliced avocado, beets, cotija cheese, and tomatillo sauce. The sauce wasn't spicy, but had just enough gentle heat to balance the tanginess of the green tomato beautifully. I also appreciated that the chips weren't overly drenched, allowing each ingredient to shine. Crunchy, flavorful, satisfying, and filling--everything you want in a breakfast. The only thing I wasn't crazy about was the apple empanada. It may have been a one-off, but mine didn't quite hit the mark. Flavor-wise, it was good and accurately described as a slice of fried apple pie. Where it fell short for me was the filling-to-dough ratio. The filling was very minimal and almost paste-like, likely due to being reheated rather than baked fresh that day. I would've loved a filling with chunks of apples or simply more filling overall. Overall, the morning/afternoon I spent here brought me so much joy. I loved that there was no time limit--I was able to get a ton of work done while sipping delicious coffee, enjoying a slow, satisfying breakfast, and soaking in the sunshine.

Still, with so many different things on the plate, it kept the meal interesting. Unfortunately, the eggs on the Bennie were overcooked, so we missed out on that perfectly runny yolk you want with a Benedict. The bakery case looked incredible, and they also have mimosas if you're looking for more of a brunch vibe. We ended up taking home a red velvet roll, which was dense and pretty decent overall. A solid neighborhood breakfast spot, especially if you're looking for something casual with plenty of options.
