I initially stopped at the Lowbrow by myself and enjoyed a great burger. That same week, I…read morereturned with my spouse, and she enjoyed a different great burger. The Lowbrow is truly the quintessential neighborhood tavern. It reeks with authenticity. The area in South Minneapolis named Kingfield has a different feel than the pockets of commercialism that touchdown on multiple four corners in this part of town. It's growing, and attracting an eclectic array of people. The Lowbrow acts as a community center for Kingfield, and the two times I went, I saw some of the same people. The menu is large and while it specializes in burgers, there is something for everybody. Alec was my/our bartender/server both times I ate at Lowbrow, and he warmed up once he realized I had returned to his Lowbrow community. Even the servers and cooks behave as if the Lowbrow is more than just a bar and restaurant. They serve their neighbors, and the Lowbrow is a throwback of that lost era when we all knew the neighbors names, and we watched out for each other. I feel comfortable at the Lowbrow, and I'm 76, originally from NYC, and don't look like anyone else. Imagine how comfortable you'll feel. The kitchen at the Lowbrow serves great food, but something special lies in the gestalt. Go and you'll know what I mean.

The place is pretty big but only about 8 people were there when we went in at 12:15 on a Sunday. Our server came over quickly when we sat down with our menus, and she was super nice. They were out of my first choice of an IPA, but they had Surly Furious as a nice backup. I ordered the big 32oz, followed by a 16 ounce mason jar later on. Solid Twin Cities flagship beer. I ordered a Cuban with a side salad, which I was glad I was able to substitute and my wife got the steamed vegetables. Lots of pork on the Cuban, could have used some more pickle and mustard, but it was plenty good and the pork was juicy. Good loaf of sandwich bread as well. Her steamed vegetables were fresh looking and tasted good and the Caesar salad was great size and not too drenched in dressing. It was really good with plenty of croutons to top it off. We took home half the salad and veggies and I made a great wrap with it the next day with a chicken brat. Really good sports bar, make sure to check it out!

It had want I wanted for my aunt: an attached parking lot and lots of flat surfaces. It also had what I wanted for a perfect July day: an outdoor, covered patio! Service: When we peeked in the patio, a server said "pick any table you want, i'll be back with a basket." There were maybe 10 tables. The "basket" had silverware, napkins, menu and the QR code for ordering. The server explained that we got our own water and could order inside or through the QR. That is always a little annoying to me (Karen!) but the water was full, the food came out quickly, and they checked on us and cleared the plates in a reasonable manner. Food: I order steak salads as my go too and sometimes the steak is tough: not this steak! It was as smooth as butter! Delicious. My dinner companions ate all their food (we were talking and not about the food, but a clean plate is always a good indication.)

Their chicken tinga taco bowl is pretty darn good but the pizza is meh. Today I came and had a glass of Sauvignon blanc and a small house salad with dressing on the side. The wine was lukewarm which, first world problems right? But if I'm paying $9 for a glass of white wine, come on bro serve it chilled. The dressing came on the side but they omitted the croutons and roasted pecans for some unknown reason and there was a small black hair at the very bottom. Plus you have to serve yourself water, no one checks on you, you submit your order via an app (not a problem I just don't see expecting a twenty percent tip for near non service despite society moving that way) and no one asks, hey is your salad shittier than expected? They don't care. Lol. Patio is cute though.

We ordered the charcuterie board, which looked great at first glance until you realize it's an (extremely) salted pretzel, though that was the best part of it- along with (packaged) thin slices of cheese cut in half, canned black olives, pepperochinis, regular deli meat (ham and salami), bitter slivered almonds you'd find in the "sundae toppings" section at the grocery store, and maybe 3 cherry tomatoes sliced in half. Not to mention a handful of plain spring mix and shredded carrots, I see the vision but none of it went well together, and cost $18- for something I could have made for $3 TOPS at home. We ordered a margarita pizza, $17 for 10 inches, which was disappointing as the pizza looked like the best part of the restaurant. A bit soggy and not as distinct as what you'd expect from a margarita. Who knows, maybe the specialty pizzas could have been better. Overall, we had a friendly waiter- I love the ambiance, but the quality of ingredients are WELL below the price and extremely disappointing, even coming in on an empty stomach. Though I believe there is a lot of potential for this restaurant.

I loved that there is a parking lot because the intersection outside was busy. I would not come here for the ambiance, it is a typical American style restaurant, but the brunch menu was great! Our server recommended the monkey bread and boy am I happy we listed. It is enough for 4 people to share, and is a meld of a croissant and a cinnamon roll. Except it was so so much better than a cinnamon roll because it was not dry or heavy, just warm and gooey. So that started well, and then they had several options of prosecco cocktails. I had the watermelon mimosa and would 100% get it again- it was light and just what I wanted. The blackberry and the elderflower were also hits! I got a classic breakfast as my main and ate every bite. I am glad I had some monkey bread or I might have been a tad hungry still. My eggs were served with their homemade gouda hash browns (which are decadent). Everyone liked their meals, and it was a super impressive price point! Would absolutely recommend for casual family gatherings and larger groups. I would totally go back!!

I normally don't mind slow service if the restaurant is busy, but it was not busy, our server just kept walking past us. The food was okay. We got an app (waffle fries) and I got a burger and my fiancé got the French dip. Overpriced for what it was - I was expecting something more. Only bottled/canned beer. The ambiance was not my favorite. The lights above the table were very bright and there was no decor so the place was echoey. There looked to be a counter that you could order food to go at, but not sure what that was all about. It was a confusing layout for what I thought was a sit down restaurant. Overall I was really looking forward to trying this local restaurant, but I don't need to go back.

My dad passed 8/30/2024 so we came to have breakfast in his old shop to celebrate him. I loved how they kept the building as is with some additions and lovely upgrades. The bar area and some seating is located in the previous two stall garage. The staff was very friendly and the food was amazing!

This is it--the perfect place for a summer meal. From the amazing food and great service (thanks,…read moreTheresa!) to the stellar patio, Layline delivers an absolutely amazing experience. If I had found this place earlier this summer, I probably would have spent many happy evenings here. (I truly can't emphasize how well this restaurant captures summer vibes.) The menu was great and ticked all the boxes, taking advantage of the bounty and mood of the season. For our starters, we ordered the arancini and the johnnycake. Both were delicious. The arincini was crispy on the outside and oozed with creamy cheese. The romesco sauce complemented it perfectly. The johnnycake was fluffy and delicious and had the perfect balance of sweet and salty (don't skip the jalapeño infused maple syrup--it isn't spicy; it's just an extension of the sweet and savory balance). For our salads/veggies, we split the last three on the menu: the cauliflower, the Brussels sprouts, and the watermelon salad. My friends, don't skip any one of these. The cauliflower is a cauliflower steak that is perfectly cooked (be sure you get a lovely toasty bit!) and made for delicious savory-salty-tangy mouthful with its tomatoes and onions. Doenjang and tahini? Heck yes! The sprouts were covered in a spectacular mojo verde (imagine what pesto would be if it were Indian and you'd not be far off) that was a creative and absolutely apt pairing. As for the watermelon salad, it was all summer: chunks of watermelon, crumbles of feta, basil, hazelnut, and rings of Calabrian chili. It tasted exactly like relaxing on the porch with your most sophisticated but still totally chill bestie. For my main, I ordered the linguine pomodoro e vodka. Dude. It was so stinking good. I love a good tomato sauce, and this one did not disappoint. Crispy breadcrumbs? Yes. Mint and basil? Yes and yes. Chili oil? Heck yeah! This packed a punch and was an absolutely glorious foil for the burrata. As for dessert, I went for the crème brûlée. It was really good! It was rich and creamy (almost buttery) and absolutely chock-full of vanilla bean. Very good indeed.
