    I had lukewarm chili that belonged on a hot dog and I ordered a tuna sandwich (I requested that it be toasted) that was incredibly dry. I ate about half and gave up. My sister got the chicken wrap and her plate soon swam with oil/grease. My dad liked his hot meatloaf sandwich smothered in gravy. The service was fine but I wish the server would have asked if we wanted our soup first or not (when it was chosen as a side option). I ate half the chili (before giving up) and was then served a very small, sad looking plate with a lonely old crusty sandwich on it.

    The service here is fantastic! We were greeted the moment we walked through the door and were seated very quickly even though staff were obviously hopping with the lunch rush. The booths are cozy and the place made us feel like we were one of the locals, even though it was our first time visiting. Was the food the tastiest I've ever had? No, but it met our expectations for a good "greasy spoon" kind of joint. Will definitely visit again when passing through St Peter.

    A great breakfast spot! Nicollet cafe is run by friendly people and their service is very fast. This is one of my favorite places to stop for brunch on a weekend & is right down the hill from Gustavus Adolphus College. I usually order the mushroom and cheese omelet, and sometimes their pancakes as well. I have been here a handful of times and everyone I have brought with me has always loved their meals.

    Nice cozy place. Good prices. Not fancy but tasty. Kids loved the chocolate chip pancakes. I had the soup and a BLT. Husband had French toast and liked it. Cute decor. Clean bathrooms. Desserts to go looked really good.

    The waitstaff was very very prompt and always making sure you had everything you needed I should have got the name of the gal that helped our table.

    This place is AMAZING! We were headed back home after a night at Treasure Island and were looking…read morefor a good breakfast/brunch. I did a search on Yelp and came across this place that was only a few minutes off our route and it was more than worth the extra 5 mins. The interior was filled with little signs and rubber ducks. For drinks I ordered the Bloody Mary which came with a spotted cow chaser and my husband ordered the mimosa. We spotted they had spotted cow cheese curds and ordered these. They were absolutely amazing and rivaled the Mouth Trap Cheese Curds you get at the Minnesota State Fair. For entrees I ordered the Butcher Omelet with Hollandaise and it was so delicious and packed with fillings. I had no hope in finishing it so we took it home for leftovers. My husband ordered the Three Little Pigs Benedict and noted it was a top 3 benedicts he has ever had (he loves benedicts). I also ordered a cold brew cocktail I think it was the Spiked Salty Caramel and it was delicious and decadent! The entire time we were there people kept stopping in and visiting the bartender to get drinks and it was so fun to see. She was absolutely so fantastic and one of those bartenders you would go back to see over and over. Just a bummer its not close to our house. I would recommend this place to anyone who is over in this area. It is so perfect!

    Went to this restaurant for the first time on Mother's Day this year. (Crazy choice to go to a…read morebreakfast diner on the busiest day of the year, but we were so impressed.) There was a 45-minute wait for a table for two but we snagged a couple spots at the bar and sat down right away. The bartender/waitress was a pure delight. Despite how crazy busy it was, she was pleasant and helpful and efficient. (I'm sorry I can't remember her name.) And they were offering free mimosas to all the ladies which was a nice bonus. Hubby and I both ordered the eggs Benedict with a side of hashbrowns. Everything was perfectly cooked and we were delighted with the crispy hash browns Strangely, we find crispy, perfectly cooked hashbrowns very rarely. And we have breakfast out fairly often. This restaurant nailed it! The prices are very reasonable, and the service was great. Highly recommend!
