We stopped at this restaurant because we wanted to try some classic Minnesota comfort food, especially the famous hot dish. We ordered the Minnesota Sampler, which included hot dish, chicken pot pie, and pot roast, giving us a nice variety of local favorites. The hot dish was our favorite of the three. It's hard to go wrong with a dish topped with crispy tater tots, and we really enjoyed it. The chicken pot pie and pot roast were decent, but they didn't stand out as much. One of the dishes included blue cheese, and its flavor was so strong that it overpowered the rest of the meal. Overall, the food was good and gave us a chance to try some regional specialties, but it wasn't a meal that really wowed us. It's worth a visit if you're looking to sample traditional Minnesota comfort food, but we didn't find it to be an exceptional dining experience. read more

For dinner, we were looking for a restaurant that served Minnesota fare, and this place came up as a nearby option that was still open. The ambiance is wonderful. The ceiling is decorated with mason jars, which gives the restaurant such a unique and charming feel. The restaurant was clean, the service was excellent, and everyone was friendly and welcoming. We came to try some Minnesota specialties, including the walleye. Unfortunately, the sauce served with it contains alcohol, so I wasn't able to have it. There wasn't an alternative sauce available, so I had the fish plain. I don't think that really did the walleye justice, so it wasn't my favorite dish. Some of the other items were also a bit hit-or-miss for my personal taste, but that's more about my preferences than the quality of the food. One thing we really loved was the adorable bakery and ice cream counter at the front of the restaurant. Grabbing ice cream before we left was the perfect ending to our meal. Overall, this is a beautiful restaurant with great service and a fun atmosphere. If you're looking to try Minnesota fare in a welcoming setting, I'd definitely recommend giving it a visit. read more

The Mason Jar is an absolute treasure for those of us south of the river. It's the kind of neighborhood restaurant every community wishes it had. The food is consistently outstanding, with a menu that's creative, high quality, and has something for everyone whether you're stopping in for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or weekend brunch. We bring our whole family here for brunch, and my wife and I also love coming back for date nights. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and just the right mix of casual and upscale. It feels special without being pretentious. One of the things I appreciate most is not having to drive all the way into Minneapolis or St. Paul for a truly great meal. Sure, it's only about 25 minutes away, but it's fantastic to have a restaurant of this caliber right here in Eagan. As an added bonus, you can even order through DoorDash when you want the same great food at home. I honestly can't say enough good things about The Mason Jar. If you haven't been yet, you're missing out! Highly recommended. read more

Met friends here for lunch. They were extremely busy but we were able to be seated right away, in a booth. The restaurant is a big space, with a lot of seating, which they definitely need. The menu is large with a variety of selections. It was difficult to decide what I wanted, finally decided to try the MN Favorites sampler; which consisted of Tator tot hotdish, chicken pot pie, & pouting. The puff pastry on top of the pot pie was "hard", not what you expect from puff pastry. The poutine was so rich I wouldn't order it as a meal, but definitely something that could/should be shared. Everything had great flavor and was delicious. One friend ordered the Hot chicken sandwich w/bacon and the other ordered the Hearty curry bowl. They both thoroughly enjoyed their meals as well. They also have a large dessert case with a great selection of cupcakes and macaroons. I ordered a variety of the macaroons and a cupcake, to go. They were all yummy! I definitely plan to come back and try more of their delicious food & desserts. read more

I got there first, for our party of seven. I was seated right away and the wonderful waiter brought water and recommended a nice mocktail. The drink order came out before the rest of the party arrived, so I was able to sip on that for a bit. The waiter was wonderful and able to help accommodate my request for a normal plastic straw after my paper straw practically disintegrated. While waiting, it became very clear where the Mason Jar name came from. The ceiling and walls use many of them for decor, and the drinks are also served in the titular jars. The menu had a good selection, and I settled on the Minnesota Sampler, since I'm only in the state for a brief time. The food was well prepared, but a bit too salty of my tastes. The hot dish and the pot pie were yummy, but the poutine's blue cheese wasn't really doing it for me. For dessert, three of us ordered the seasonal tres leches, which was blueberry. It was very rich, which I consider a plus. But it was a massive serving. I think the three of us could have split one order and been satisfied. I'm sure for the right patron, they'd love this large portion though. read more

Went here for a weekday lunch. They have a lunch special to pick 2 or 3 options of soup, salad and a half sandwich. Definitely get the pick 3. The lunch portions aren't overly large. The tomato basil soup is so fresh and delicious and was my favorite lunch choice I got. Our server was attentive despite a full restaurant! They have a cute casual dining room that is the best for breakfast or lunch. They also offer dinner options for larger appetites. Mason Jar Kitchen is sure to be a crowd pleaser so be sure to check them out! read more

A nice suburb brunch option with brunch served daily. The scratch-made kitchen approach shows in the food, and the space is clean and comfortable with a good variety on the menu covering savory, sweet, and the classics. The MJK breakfast was solid, and the chorizo sausage had great flavor. One thing worth noting is that they don't have non-pork breakfast meat options, which would be a welcome addition for those avoiding pork. The nitro cold brew was decent, the service was good, and overall it's a reliable and well-executed brunch spot if you're in the area. Plenty of parking options since its in a shopping mall. read more

Breakfast on a Saturday morning. The space is really nice inside with plenty of seating. Eggs beneditct was ok, eggs cooked perfect though hollandaise sauce had a bit of a tang to it, super lemony, it was all you cohld taste, not our favorite. Steak and eggs was good as was the biscuits and gravy. Not the biggest portions around but you can tell they use really good quality ingredients. Service was good and there is plenty of parking. read more

I'm so happy restaurant week announced their list of participating restaurants. I met up with my friend for dinner, great deal for $38 and 3 courses. Restaurant is spacious, I sat in the back dining area and noticed empty mason jars hung on the ceiling. Some of them were used as lights. The food was delicious! I was surprised how big my steak was and the seasoning was delicious. Plus we had to save room for dessert! Definitely recommend this restaurant if you're in the area. read more

The Mason Jar gets very busy for weekend brunch so definitely make reservations if you can plan ahead. Service is usually friendly, and the restaurant is on the louder side during peak times. -- The Biscuit and Gravy is so savory and good. The giant cheddar and green onion biscuit is flavorful and goes well with the creamy gravy. -- The breakfast burrito is solid. -- The Buttermilk Fried Chicken and Corn Waffle is delicious. The cornbread waffle pairs so well with the rosemary-infused syrup and honey butter. The chicken tenders are standard. -- The Dubai Chocolate Croissant is awesome. The croissant itself is flaky and buttery, and the filling is crispy and creamy. -- The Caramel Pecan Breakfast Roll is massive and can easily be shared with the table. It's super fluffy and soo warm and gooey. -- The Crispy Chicken and Mash Stack is an absolute home run. The breading is so crispy and the chicken is salted perfectly. It's like an elevated KFC mashed potato bowl. I liked the mix of the sauteed veggies and the charred broccolini, and the fluffy mashed potatoes with the denser biscuit on the bottom. -- The Spinach Artichoke Dip is okay. The dip itself is pretty mushy and bland, but the baked pita is seasoned well and has a good bite to it. -- The chocolate cake is fluffy and very rich. The tres leches cake is on the denser side. Between the two I would go for the chocolate cake. -- The pistachio latte is creamy and not too sweet. The pistachio flavor is strong. read more

Can I be honest? I was skeptical walking into The Mason Jar in Eagan, MN. I didn't know what to expect, but from the moment I was seated with Ryan, my doubts started to fade. Ryan was such a delight ... friendly, attentive, and clearly passionate about what he does. He's heading back to college soon, so if you get the chance, stop by and enjoy his service before he's gone! It was a little too early for a cocktail, so I went with the lemonade... and WOW. I ended up having two because it was that refreshing. For my entrée, I ordered the Crispy Chicken & Mash Stack, and can I just say, blown away! Perfectly seasoned, crispy, and packed with flavor. The only hiccup? The biscuit was a bit hard to cut.. honestly, it was hard. But everything else, from the service to the atmosphere to the bites, was total yum. I'll definitely be back! read more

Came here on a busy weekday evening but managed to get a reservation last minute. Overall I was pretty impressed with the food especially for being in the suburbs! We tried a couple of the non alcoholic Mocktail drinks and they were pretty delicious. For my toddlers I got the chicken pot pie and for myself I got walleye with mashed potatoes and asparagus. It was so tasty! We also got cheese curds to share - but with 4 adults and 2 toddlers, it was a really tiny portion for the price. I felt like even the State Fair gives more cheese curds for the price! I think I'm just used to other restaurants that give a larger amount. The service was a little slow as well - felt like the food took a while to come out, but it was busy. They have Sebastian Joe's ice cream and they also have house made cupcakes which are delicious! It's comparable to other cupcake shops in the twin cities. The ambiance is pretty modern farmhouse with a neon sign in the lobby and rustic vibes throughout. Regardless of the wait time I had an overall great experience. I heard the brunch is great and would love to come back for that some day. read more

Went here for lunch! Place was hopping (had to wait in line a bit to get seated) and there was branded merch for the shop, so that was a solid indicator this place was gonna be good-- and so it was! Neat thing, you can just waltz on in and order ice cream, cupcakes, or macaroons at the desert counter to-go, even if you're not dining in. Great way to utilize space and get additional revenue, I dare say. They have lots of both indoor and outdoor seating; we opted for the later because it was such a nice sunny spring day. Looking at the menu it was extremely hard to pick what to get (absolutely going to have to come back to try a few more things), but I selected their pot roast. Oh man, it was amazing. I tore into it, savoring every bite. Portion size was good too, I actually took some home in a to-go box. We also chose to get ice cream for dessert, since they said it was "award winning." I just might believe that! The chocolate pot hole ice cream was violently chocolatey-- enough so to satisfy even the more die-hard chocolate fans. Highly recommend! Staff were all friendly, but a little slammed with the lunch rush on a Friday afternoon, so some aspects were a little slow (refills and such). We weren't in a hurry though and the ambiance was pleasant, so this didn't bother us. I especially appreciated the all-gender bathrooms. Many single occupant stalls, all upscale and clean. Love to see progressive bathroom availability for all. Only downside? No Dr. Pepper! read more

The Mason Jar is our favorite breakfast spot south of the cities! We both ordered new things, pictured is the biscuits and gravy with a side of rosemary potatoes. I was surprised to see the biscuit was underneath the giant scrambled egg and chorizo gravy but WOW was it delicious. Enough food to bring home leftovers. For a Saturday, they were not as busy as I expected so our table was ready right away! Shelly, our server was awesome. It's a great pick for a family brunch spot. read more

What a perfect thing to say as you walk in: Together is a perfect place to be'. Of course, we had to take a family picture. It is a very warm and welcoming saying. The people at the front desk welcome everyone by name if you have a reservation. We started our meal with a salad. I had the MJK salad and my husband had the Caesar. Both were good. I opted to eat the Shrimp Bowl. The rice was very good and a compliment to the shrimp. My husband had the salmon. They were very good about changing out things that we couldn't eat. The server was very good at handling the exceptions. It is a nice place where you can sit and chat while waiting for your meal. read more

Great spot for brunch! We really enjoyed our food and drinks. We shared the Minnesota sampler and it was fantastic. Also the Dubai croissant was divine. I had kind of a cheat day and I am on a low sodium diet per my Cardiologist. I am pleased they were able to work with my dish to lower the salt content. The service was stellar. This is a very busy establishment so make reservations! Otherwise wait times can be long. read more

I first visited The Mason Jar in Eagan over five years ago, back when it had more of a classic diner vibe. At the time, it was fine for what I was looking for, but it wasn't a place I would have thought of for brunch. So when my sister recently suggested going there, I was surprised--but open to giving it another try. However, when we arrived, I quickly realized this wasn't the same place I had been to years ago. The vibe was completely different--super cute, warm, and inviting! We started with their mimosa kit. It came with a bottle of Prosecco, a variety of juices, fresh fruit, and macarons. We split the Buttermilk Fried Chicken & Cornbread Waffle and the Pork Belly Breakfast Skillet. I typically think regular waffles are fine, but this cornbread waffle was something else. It was filling, flavorful, and a nice combo with the chicken. Keep in mind that the portions are generous. --we ate around 11:30 AM, and I was still full by 7 PM. I'm so glad I gave The Mason Jar another try, and I'm already looking forward to coming back and exploring more of the menu. Highly recommend! read more

Was pretty busy for an early dinner, we made a reservation but really didn't need one. During peak meal times I would recommend a reservation. The fries trio was good, the fries have a nice batter on them and are complemented by 3 dipping sauces. Cheese curds were ok, a little disappointing. Didn't have much of a "squeak". This particular Jam dipping sauce was not popular at our table. MN Sampler was good, the size was deceiving. It didn't feel like a lot of food but ended up being plenty for dinner. Chili Mac was actually the best, and I wasn't really looking forward to that one. Nice surprise. The chicken pot pie was tough to judge as it was only a few bites but I'd try it again - full sized to really judge the pastry to filling ratio and flavor. Hot dish was exactly as expected. Chicken wild rice soup was good, creamy and filling. A cup was plenty. Our table enjoyed the burger, birria quesadilla and hot chicken sandwich. Dessert was a macaron and it garnered two thumbs up. Not a fancy place but nice enough for casual date night or a family dinner out. Lots of items we want to try on the menu. We will be back. read more

I recently made a reservation to Mason Jar and the food was excellent and was really well presented. The Caesar salad was crisp and fresh, with a well-balanced dressing and perfectly toasted croutons. The Barramundi, a pan-seared sea bass stood out with its vibrant presentation of cherry tomatoes, basil, and a lemon-beurre blanc sauce created a bright, flavorful dish. To finish, the crème brûlée was a highlight, featuring a golden caramelized top and a smooth, creamy custard beneath. Service was decent, we felt a bit rushed when ordering drinks and desserts. Overall, a very enjoyable dining experience, pleasant atmosphere, and would recommend. read more

I really really loved their menu. It's a perfect ma and pa minnesota menu. Simple dishes that some of those pickey eaters actually like but just a little bit nicer than a small town restaurant. I personally like to take risks and try different plates whereas my parents like the typical burger or steak option with potatoes so this was a great place to try. I tried the macadamia-crusted mahi mahi. Although I wasn't impressed with the fish itself, I was in love with the mushroom risotto it was plated on. Would recommend getting this mushroom risotto as its own dish (which they have). I also enjoyed the wild rice soup. Everyone else enjoyed their dish. Prices were decent for a "nicer" restaurant. It's more causal than upscale but nicer than the chain restaurants. Parking is plentiful out front since it's in a shopping mall. Service was without issue. read more

We had a very disappointing NYE dinner here unfortunately. I will never return for a dinner service. Customer service was lacking, service in general was lacking. Not sure if they were short staffed(plenty of clean tables were open) but being sat 30 mins past a reservation time(at 9pm) on New Year's Eve is unacceptable when you send your customers reminder texts to show up on time after already having confirmed. NYE menu ended at 930pm. I will stick to breakfast brunch. read more

My partner and I went to Mason jar for a brunch date. The restaurant itself is adorable. I love that they have individual gender neutral accessible bathrooms. We got sat quickly and our waitress got us water and promptly took our food and coffee order. Our coffee arrived after the food. I got the peanut butter mocha with soy milk and no whipped cream. It had a subtle peanut butter flavor - I wish it would have been a little more prominent. My smoked salmon stack was so good. I would definitely get it again. I tried my partners egg Benedict and that was also delicious. Overall, a solid brunch spot. read more

Mike was fantastic. An absolute gem of a server. It was so nice to come in here and it wasn't overcrowded so we were able to hear each other and it's always clean and nice at Mason Jar. I had the huevos rancheros which are so full of different textures and flavors. It was very delicious from the crispyv tortillas to the perfectly done carnitas and everything in between. The guacamole was very tasty. The Pico fit perfectly and if you like hot sauce they have a really nice one with flavor. My husband had the buttermilk chicken tenders with the savory cornbread waffle which came with an herb butter and he enjoyed that very much. Lots of texture again flavor highly recommend. Merry Christmas everyone!! read more

Writing a review because our server, Mike, was so AMAZING that I felt inclined to give him a shoutout! He earns 10/5 stars for such attentive and kind service. His recommendation for my lunch was also perfect! We usually order takeout and it's been forever since we've dined in. He was fantastic and made us feel so welcomed. Highly recommend Mike! My entree was so beautiful and delicious! Unfortunately, both my side pancakes were quite dark so they tasted borderline burnt/bitter. I prefer pancakes with a golden color and we've had great takeout pancakes before so maybe today it was off. I didn't want to complain since Mike was so awesome. read more

With no reservations we dropped in on Mother's Day. As busy as they were they had enough tables for walk ins. As we got seated we got help right away. Although I'm not sure if he was a waiter because we did see him bartending, service fell slow after we ordered. We gave him the benefit of the doubt because it was Mother's Day. The food was ok, pretty good. But service was just very slow and they didn't have their dinner menu available. read more

After relocating to Burnsville this year, we are always looking for great spots for brunch! Mason Jar came heavily recommended and delivered on all its promises! Located in a strip mall, there is plenty of parking nearby. Upon entry, you can either pick up to-go food or treats from a lovely and full pastry case or hit up the host stand to get a table. Our server and all other staff were great during our stay! The ambiance of the space is a bit elevated, but I still feel like you could show up in your pajamas if needed. Food and drink were spectacular, albeit, a bit small for the prices! I went with the brunch flight which included a plethora of fun drinks! The breakfast burrito was yummy for sure! Everything the table had was good and our family all went home happy! read more

My7 first time eating her with my daughter and her family and it will not be the last time. Everything was so delicious.We started with Yuca con chicharron which were very unique and tasty but I didn't get photo. I ordered the chicken Saltimbocca that was perfection, with mashed potatoes and grilled broccolini that was done just right. This dish has a lemon beurre blanc sauce that paired with this dish so nicely, not a heavy sauce and not too light. My daughter ordered the ravioli which she loved. My son in law had the most flavorful Atlantic salmon with lobster risotto (that was so creamy) and grilled wok chop with the same beurre blanc sauce that my dish had. trust me he has a spotless clean plate. The atmosphere is cute and they were busy, we made 6:00 reservations just a few hours ahead of time, glad we did. 5 stars!! Good waiter too. read more
