    I came here after waiting for my connecting flight. I ordered the baby kale and grain salad to-go and was pleasantly surprised with the salad. It took about 10-15 minutes for my order and when I received it, it was placed in a pretty big bag, which I thought was unnecessary and should only given if someone asks for one. But the salad itself had a good amount of variety, including strawberries and walnuts, and the dressing was mixed in. The ranch was very subtle and light by default. Overall, I would come back here if I were back at this airport. Like other vendors in this area of the airport, there is a 4.5% employee wellbeing fee.

    Burger drink and chips side of ranch for the chips. Only the rootbeer was good. Disappointing

    I really thought this burger was going to be good! But it wasn't. It tasted like old meat and I was afraid to eat it. You order from your phone and have to pay and do tip ahead of time. I wanted the donut burger I saw online but must be on old Menu as it wasn't an option. I was looking forward to The "onsite"made chips but they also tasted old and were just okay. Service was okay. It was right next to my gate so that was convenient. The bottled Boylan rootbeer was good! I didnt eat the burger so it was just a waste all the way around.

    Veggie omelette

    Arrived early to the airport and had time for breakfast. I was pleasantly surprised. I've ordered the veggie omelet, and added bacon (I know, the irony...) and the veggies were perfectly cooked, had a bite to them, but were also soft, the amount of goat cheese was perfect and the bacon, ah, the bacon... it was perfectly crispy!!! I like my toast on the darker side, so that was also perfect. The staff is amazing, super warm, kept checking on me even in a place where you order everything from an iPad. Which is pretty easy to use, BTW. They lost a star because my coffee was cold. Can't handle cold coffee at 6 am. Would definitely recommend Mill City Tavern at the MSP Airport.

    My friend and I were in this area of the airport and needed some dinner during a long layover. We ended up at Mill City Tavern because we wanted a place to sit down and relax a bit. Each seat has an ipad to order from, but we also had a couple servers come by with water and to check on us. I'm a pretty tech-savvy millennial but I found the ipad ordering clunky and not very user-friendly. Plus there are tons of ads on the screen which is distracting and confusing. They also offer lots of "add-ons" including chapstick, which I thought was weird. Definitely be careful not to order anything you don't want! The menu is very limited and prices are super high - of course this is an airport, but I was a little surprised at the prices even then. I was hoping for some healthier options but none of the salads interested me, so I ended up getting a burger. My friend got the veggie burger that was mostly just mashed roasted beets, kind of strange and not what we were expecting. My burger was cooked to the right temp but was dry and not very flavorful. The fries were good, but nothing special. The tomato on the burger was really terrible - super mealy and zero flavor. Unfortunately, I paid $22 for a pretty bad burger. I should've been more wary due to the low Yelp ratings, but I generally have had pretty good experiences with airport food even despite dismally low scores at most airport restaurants. Not so at Mill City Tavern, unfortunately. I definitely wouldn't eat here again, but I might come back for a glass of wine and to relax as the dining area is pretty comfortable even if a bit crammed in. The booth seats were cozy. There are outlets at each table so it would be a good place to charge your phone and hang out for a bit if you have a long layover. Just get some food elsewhere!

    Wild mushroom poutine...a little salty but overall yummy!
    Jennifer H.

    During my layover in MSP, I decided to stop and get some lunch. After a quick glance at yelp, I settled on Mill City Tavern. I actually sat in the gate area by Mill City Tavern as they have tablets at the tables where you can order directly, and they will bring the food to you. The whole process was efficient and easy. In terms of the food, I was not disappointed! I ordered the wild mushroom poutine, and it was yummy! Was it the best poutine I've ever had? No, but it was definitely tasty! I will admit that they were a bit heavy handed with the salt. Aside from that, there was plenty of melty cheese curds, and the sauce had a nice complexity of flavor. What really made the experience for me was the awesome service! The servers were warm and friendly. For example, when bringing my food, they automatically brought a glass of ice water too. Granted they also gave a plastic straw, so perhaps we'll need to have a discussion about saving sea turtles, but it is the Midwest after all, so this probably hasn't made it to them yet. Also, after I asked for a box to keep the leftovers, they brought an eco-friendly box with utensils and extraneous napkins. Win! They also gave me a colorful plastic bag to put everything in (again, need to have a discussion about plastic waste). All-in-all, I had a wonderful experience. I would definitely come here again if I had the opportunity.

    Avocado toast with goat cheese, egg,  onion,  and side of home style chips.

    I just wanted a quick bite so I wouldn't be starving for my while flight home. I did not expect my meal to be stop you in your tracks, knock your socks off delicious. The avocado toast was decadent and delightful comfort food. Worth every penny.

Chef Pedro took our order (bonus points) and we had a lovely conversation about New Orleans. The menu here has a lot of New Orleans food intertwined. Based on where Pedro previously worked in New Orleans, he has an outstanding culinary background. I was going to order the Muffaletta, which can be served hot or cold, but they were out. When I heard why, I was impressed. In New Orleans, the gold standard of bread is Leidenheimer. Minnesota doesn't have the same bread (Trung Nam Bakery is the closest substitute). Pedro uses Leidenheimer for his Muffalettas. Pedro also makes his own olive salad. I am looking forward to trying a Muffaletta. My husband ordered the Zambon Dip and really enjoyed it. I had the Herb Brooks Focaccia. It was great. Big portions. What is really funny is I knew the North Stars as I worked at the Met Center. Fun memorabilia too. On street parking and some tables outside. What we used to call a neighborhood joint. Stop in and say hi to Pedro. Now I just wish he would make Gumbo with some okra and filé.

Seems like a really busy takeout spot. Order: the North Star deluxe. Delicious. Their take on a Reuben without the kraut. All the meats were delicious and distinctive in flavor. The creole mayo added that nice creaminess. The homemade pickles on the side added that little vinegar punch to cut thru the richness of the sandwich. Smoked salmon BLT. Huge potion of perfectly smoked salmon. The smoke and crunch of the bacon was a perfect pairing. This is an amazing creative surf and turf. Overall: This is a must try on your Minnesota food tour.

Unfortunately, this Firehouse felt more like a fire drill -- lots of motion, not much coordination. The staff looked like and acted like they didn't want to be there and then someone had just yelled "everybody make sandwiches!" and then left the room. Service was slower than boarding Group 9, and by the time my sub arrived, I was halfway through my emotional support chips. As for the sandwich -- let's just say it didn't quite live up to the usual Firehouse standard. More like Smoke Detector Subs -- something was missing, and it definitely wasn't flavor from being too fresh. Two stars because I did eventually get food, and it was edible. But next time I might just grab a granola bar and call it a win. If you're hungry and have time to burn, give it a shot. If you're in a hurry... you might want to bring your own siren.

They actually use the smaller bottles of juice than the small bottles. Until now I didn't even know... to be fair, it does appear all the other vendors have similarly small versions and drinks are more expensive here than other airports. Also made my order after another couple. It should be first-in-first-out at the airport. I wouldn't mind the delay normally but at an airport, time -can- be precious.

Instead EVERYONE is 100 % natural welcoming laid back and genuine in wanting to see you content and pleased. Nothing is ever pushed onto you. The quality of the pastrami, its seasoning, the textures and bright flavors of the breads and bagels the nova the chopped liver the extra creamy marinated Cole slaw and perfect half sour pickles ( wISH they had bialys!). All perfect. All old world. Our favorite very old deli in West Palm Beach was sold 1.5 years ago and gone gone gone are the DELIGHTFUL happy charming old staff and the perfect old world flavors, cooking. In Sarasota where we just lived the last 5 years, a new deli closed after just 2 years, and there is nothing left. We've been visiting family in Sarasota every year for 40 years. Gone too in the Twin Ciries is the ownership by brothers Scot and Stu of Hopkin's beloved Crossroads Deli just last year. The new owners, a corporation owning 6-8 other restaurants have CHANGED almost all the recipes for breads, cakes , wonderous cookies and 80 % of all pastries! No more butter, no more fine ingredients and no more of their once " Grossinger's taste/quality" STELLAR seeded rye bread! They even eliminated the lemon flavoring. In their incomparable lemon coconut cake! Their stuffed cabbage is one of their only true deli dishes left. Sandwiches are half their original size...... heart breaking after going there 3-4 times a week for 25 years........ Cecil's of course had to cut back on the $$ use of butter in their pastries. But they have WORKED VERY HARD to still retain their wonderous long long ago heart warming flavors. ALL their sandwiches are AUTHENTIC. Old world New York City flavors! Made with care and love. My husband loves their beautiful generous Nova salmon platte. Noshing away happily! I love their pastrami Rachel's with plentiful half sour pickles lots of Russian dressing and creamy Cole slaw. Mmmmmm. I hope and pray Cecil's owner refrains for a long long time from selling his rare business. We must support Cecil's too.... Or lose it with all the others, and lose part of our joy and heart.

On one side is a meat market with a variety of cuts of steaks, lamb, and other meats, which all looked fresh and quite nice. They also have a variety of items such as canned goods, pasta, eggs, etc. on the shelves opposite the meat counter. The entire place is quite sunny, pleasant, and cozy. On the other side is the eat-in, take-out deli sandwiches, that are made to order. The quality of the ingredients is excellent. The bread is freshly made (crispy baguette type) and you have a choice of Roast Beef, Roast Turkey, Tuna Salad, Smoked Ham, or Corned Beef. All sandwiches are $16.50 each (including tax) and come with a choice of mayonnaise, spicy stone ground mustard, red leaf lettuce, thin sliced red onion, salt, pepper, oil, vinegar, raw grated horseradish, pickled jalapeno, and roasted bell pepper. The default includes all toppings so if you don't want everything, be sure to specify what you do NOT want. Surprisingly, they do not carry any diet soda, nor do they stock any national brands (only local pop). There is a large menu on the wall, and you order at the counter and pick up the order (no table service). The food was attractively presented, and very, very good. My only gripe (besides the lack of diet pop) is that it's on the expensive side for lunch. Two sandwiches, a couple of bags of chips, and a couple of cans of pop will easily top $40, although I'd say the quality is top-notch.
