Came here for a lunch with coworkers as I work just across the bridge - I have been wanting to try and love it but felt like I was slightly underwhelmed. I ordered the hash special expecting loading hash browns but finding my dish coming out with potato chunks, a salmon filet, beets, other veggies, aioli on the side and lots of oil. I am not a picky person but this was not a favorite. The salmon was cooked well but having ordered a loaded hash, I didn't expect a salmon filet with a beet and potato chunk side dish. I appreciate the dairy free and gluten free options for those who need it. My coworkers mostly enjoyed their meals as well. Service was mostly quick but despite being not busy at all, it took 20-30 minutes. The space was clean. Bathroom had a lock code but staff provided it and it was clean. Menu was wide (from breakfast to snacks to lunch) and ingredients seem local as much as possible and well thought of. I will try again and hope I like it a bit more. Prices are a bit higher but that is explained with the higher quality ingredients. read more

I've been to Buttered Tin twice now - it's a great spot and their cinnamon rolls are AMAZING and the cabbage on their perogi plate deserves a special shout out on its own, but for some reason the eggs are never seasoned at all. It can get a bit loud on the weekends but that's anywhere. Overall I think they have a good menu and their staff is also super amazing! Just needs a bit of seasoning on some items. read more

This was a cute spot. I enjoyed the ambiance but was slightly disappointed in the menu offerings and seating. You can't grab a table without ordering first, which is the worst during busy times. They also are not the fastest at cleaning off tables. So we found ourselves cleaning up after the people before us. The Food: The Huevos Rancheros were great. I'd give them a solid 5/5. The Buttered Tin Pancakes left much to be desired. They are a solid 1/5. I was expecting fluffy, soft pancakes, but that's the complete opposite of what I received. They did not say what their pancakes were made out of on the menu. I'm guessing they were wheat? They were dry and scratchy. Overall, I would try this place again but would go there when they are not busy and would try other things on the menu. read more

My husband and I are visiting from San Diego for the farm aid concert and stopped in for breakfast. I was so impressed with the decor, so light, airy and clean looking! The prices were reasonable and the selections were unique and tasty. The pastry case is delicious looking and we wanted to try everything. I had the big thyme and cheese biscuit which they toasted on the grill and served with some butter. It was amazing! My husband ordered the eggs with pierogies , red cabbage and sausage. The toast was excellent also. Staff was friendly and efficient. I bought 2 jars of cherry lime thyme jelly to take home. Please open in San Diego!! read more

Great place with bright lightings. Loved the food and the ambience. We were in line but the lines moved fast. The service was awesome. Everyone helped with a genuine smile. The lady serving food at the table was kind and gentle and got my coffee when I enquired for it (did not know if they serve the coffee at the table or you grab your own cup) The food is great, the eggs had perfect orange yolks, the cheesy biscuit was superb. There was a lot of flavor in the home fries and my bf's hash was well done - crispy on the outside! read more

Went here for a work breakfast and the food was amazing. Portions were plentiful and service was good. We parked on the street, not sure if they have a lot or not. read more

I didn't know they added another location in NE. Was looking for a place to meet up with my friend for our breakfast tour and came across this location. It's in a pretty good spot- parking in the back or on the street. Plenty of tables -but don't stay too long as you might get the side eye- we didn't overstay and made sure there were tables, but still got the side eye on the way out. Counter service Food ordered: Gran belt breakfast which looked really good. Pierogies, sausage and eggs- pretty good. Pierogies were interesting and tasty. Ordered some cupcakes to go. Would probably skip it next time. Almond, Hot Fudge and Oreo- they were okay. Was really looking forward to the almond which was okay, but didn't taste that almondy. read more

We had a large group. There is no table service so best to grab a table and then go order at the country. Everyone's food was well prepared. One person in party was vegetarian and ordered the grill cheese without seeing that it had meat in it. They were kind enough to make another one with Just cheese. read more

First time at this location and it was a nice experience. Very spacious and lots of seating. Much like the other location you order and pay at the counter. You get a number and the food is brought to your table. The staff members were very pleasant and the restaurant well maintained. My biscuits and gravy dish was just as tasty as I remembered. There was a heap of sausage gravy and pickled red onions which gave a nice tang. read more

A friend and I had brunch at this location today and enjoyed it! The decor was cheery and inviting! It's clear they have a following because when I walked in at 1215 today, there was no seating! You must order food before you sit, so I ordered and waited about 10 minutes for a table to open up. The staff was very pleasant and quick to clean tables so people could sit. Despite how busy they were, my food came out in about 10 minutes and was hot. The food was absolutely delicious! My friend got one of the sandwiches with a side of chips and said it was also very tasty! Overall my experience here was very pleasant and I'd love to go back to try these cinnamon rolls everyone is talking about! (They we're sold out by the time we got there) read more

A lovely brunch experience. Very kind staff and delicious food. Bright and pleasant. My husband and I shared the tomato basil soup and a turkey club. Next time I will try a bakery item. read more

This place has great option and while we didn't order any pastry, the selection did look amazing. Tips are included in the price. I'm totally fine with brag, but overall, this place is a bit overpriced. I paid almost $70 for two entrees, two coffees, and two small mimosas. My friend liked her breakfast, though the coffee wasn't great. I had the smothered breakfast burrito; the sauces tasted very unusual, I think the ranchero sauce has either nutmeg or cinnamon. The salsa verde tasted very citrus-y. I wasn't a fan of either on its own, but together, it tasted pretty good. I think the burrito would have benefited from adding some sour cream or cotija. My favorite part was the mocha. You do order at a counter which we hadn't expected, but it was fine. Good and drinks were still brought to the table, and you can get water any time. I like the concept of mix between servers and self service. Overall, we were happy. Nothing was particularly spectacular, be it good or bad. I'd consider going back and trying something else. read more

The Buttered Tin's new location in Northeast is a gift from the breakfast gods. They're open 7am-3pm daily, serving up fresh breakfast and lunch items that are comforting but slightly elevated. They also have cases of provisions (local butter, house-made pickles etc) and baked goods! Literally a treat. Be sure to check out their daily specials which include rotating loaded hash browns, soft scramble, toast, and soup. We've eaten here (mostly takeout) three times already and we've tried and loved their maple peach french toast, pierogies sausage and eggs, biscuits and gravy, Caribbean chicken sandwich and porchetta sandwich. It's hard to choose a favorite, but the biscuits and gravy are probably the best in the cities. The porchetta sandwich is a close second. As far as baked goods, we've been very happy with the ho ho cupcake, Nordeast twinkie, Halloween sugar cookie, cupcakes... as I write this review I realize we might need to take it easy. Or go more often? Service has been great, and I am a fan of their locally sourced ingredients like Cry Baby Craig's hot sauce, Fischer Farms bacon and ham, Kramarczuk's Polish sausage and local butter. ILY TBT! read more

Haven't dined in for a few years but the brunch was ok, nothing memorable and wait was long. What is divine here is the pie, particularly the banana cream pie. Not too sweet, and crust is perfectly delightful. The NE location feels like an upscale Perkins! read more

Came around 11 on a cold Sunday morning and we were seated immediately. Waitress can me over and offered coffee and water. There is also wine (3 choices) and beer it said to ask your waitress about. I saw a mimosa option but not a bloody. I got the classic breakfast with polish sausage. The eggs were cooked exactly as I asked (over medium), the sausage was great and the bread tastes great. It came with a choice of potatoes or hashbrowns. I went with hashbrowns and asked that they be well done since I love them crispy. They were fine in terms of texture but had no flavor. I'd try the potatoes next time. Service was great in the beginning but was really lacking in the plate clearing, needing a box, wanting a check stage. It was probably 20 minutes from my last bite to the time of a check. It wasn't particularly busy and the waitress wasn't running around. Husband had breakfast Sammie and a side pancake. Sammie was great and pancake was fine We will be back read more

Sitting at the corner of Marshall and Lowry in a new apartment building, this is a hopping place! As it should be. Great selection of pastries along with a menu of full breakfasts and lunch. The husband seemed to like the blueberry pie and the lemon cookie. He did not share! I had the breakfast burrito. It's huge! Enough for two or one big appetite. So tasty. Took half home for later. We will be back for sure. They also have 6" cakes for those last minute occasions when you need to bring a dessert. read more

I'm kind of a biscuits and sausage gravy fan, I've tried this dish a bunch of places. The Buttered Tin makes wonderful sausage gravy. The people I went with also loved their food. The person who took our order was friendly & helpful. The restaurant was clean & bright w attractive displays. I look forward to trying other things on the menu. read more

After reviewing some of what others have said, I have determined that this establishment is doing the right thing by implementing a 20% surcharge for livable wages instead of raising their food prices because it offers transparency about what that 20% is added to, which is a cause that I fully support, and makes me want to willingly contribute more, instead of increasing my expectations on the food quality due to increased prices. With that said, I have to make it clear that they indeed have amazing food! I have been here a total of 3 times, and each time it did not disappoint. First of all, even with the surcharge, most of the items are still under $20 and therefore affordable, on top of them providing a good amount of food on each plate. Second, quality-wise, I would highly suggest the damn good egg sandwich, the huevos rancheros benedict, the cinnamon rolls, the biscuits & gravy, and the pierogis, eggs & sausage. All of them have the perfect combination of food that allows you to say that you have gotten a little bit of everything! If I have one piece of constructive advice, it would be to offer a bit more variety in the salads that are offered with some of the plates. This is not a piece of advice I have for this establishment per se, as a lot of other restaurants do the same. I think adding some beets or cherry tomatoes along with the single kind of leafy greens would elevate the side house salad even more. While I wouldn't put this place as a breakfast / brunch spot better than others, I will say that this place is definitely one of the great breakfast spots in the city. The food is served in a speedy manner, and the atmosphere is very modest in a self-serve type of manner, although they also allow you to order at the counter. It is the perfect spot to have a good time with a friend catching up while indulging in some good breakfast, all the while not having to worry about looking out of place. read more

We LOVE the Buttered Tin in St. Paul so when they opened a new NE location closer to home, that sounded like a winner to us. We've now eaten there a few times and sadly I don't find it to be nearly as impressive as the OG restaurant. Many of the things are the same - the food is still good and the menu is the same, the decor is bright and sunny, the coffee is delicious and strong, etc. But this restaurant just lacks the details that the original location has. First, here you order at the counter and pay, you're given a number and the food is brought to you. It may be that they changed the St. Paul location to this model but the last time we were there, there was still table service, and I miss it at this new location. With the numbers for the tables, I feel like you aren't as welcome to dally, have another cup of coffee, decide to drink another cocktail and chat some more, etc. The cinnamon rolls, which are definitely worth noting, are the same as the ones in St. Paul bu they just aren't as good. I don't know if they're a day older, they're stored differently or what. And never once have we had anyone at this location offer to warm it up for us the way they always do at the St. Paul restaurant. Refills are not offered unless you go up and ask, water is serve yourself, when it is busy, the floors are unswept and the tables go uncleared. I don't know why this location is not as good as the other since the menu is exactly the same. I just feel like this location lacks the attention to detail and the excellent customer service. We will still eat here on occasion, but it won't be a regular stop for us the way it would absolutely be if it was the same as the St. Paul store. It's a shame. But hopefully some of these things can be corrected and then I can update this review! read more

I wasn't really impressed from this place. The staff was amazing and nice. We got the following; Side of pancake: 1/5 huevos rancheros: 3/5 Ginger lemonade : 3/5 Vanilla latte: 3/5 Home fries : 1/5 Butter tin hash (salmon): 1/5 The huevos rancheros were the only good thing. The home fries: potatoes weren't cooked. Side of pancake: they gave maple bacon butter without even asking. I don't eat bacon at all. They replaced and gave us another one in which I found a hair. Gross. Butter tin hash salmon: this had way too many flavors that were clashing. read more

This trend of surcharging customers to compensate their staff is outrageous. It is "bait and switch" on steroids! Just increase your menu item prices to include paying your employees more wages. Upfront transparency matters! read more

I really liked this place and it's portion sizes! Not too much and not too little with food. You pay and order your food before you sit down, which may sound a little odd (it did to me), but worked out super well! We got our food as soon as we were able to find a seat! Great brunch place for a group of 2-8 people (larger the group, the longer you may have to wait for a table). read more

One of the best breakfasts I've had. I had the biscuits and gravy...good grief...SO GOOD! The gravy was perfectly savory and balanced with the wonderfully flavorful and meaty gravy with two poached eggs and balanced out with the pickled onion. The biscuits where big and crispy on the outside and soft in the middle just like they should be. It's a day disrupter. I was thinking and talking about it for the rest of my day. My wife got the loaded hash browns and they looked and tasted incredible as well! I will be going back. I hope I have enough will power to try something new. The service was awesome. I first asked for a recommendation and got half the menu as a response. Not super helpful for obvious reasons but after that meal I understand that is probably the hardest and the easiest question to answer because you probably can't go wrong! The environment at the Buttered Tin just made me happy. It was clean and modern with nods to old school diner. It was what I would hope for from a great breakfast spot. read more

Was really excited to visit this place. The food is great! It's so much. The hard part was how they bring out food. We were off to the right and unless we were straight in front of the kitchen they would take our food back to the counter. By the time we figured this out it was cold. My coffee late is not cheap and it was underwhelming. It's first come first serve in the cafe seating. Definitely a hot spot for that neighborhood but not worth traveling across the metro for. read more

Glad to have another breakfast spot in north east. Sadly not impressed. 20% tip is included and the staff don't even refill your coffee or bring you water. The menu needs to be revisited and the food wasn't that great/ too greasy. Hot sauces were awesome. I prefer the St. Paul location. read more

The food here is amazing! But I went to order biscuits and gravy like I always do and it says it's $14 dollars on the menu. Once you order upfront the total came out to $18. I didn't get a drink or anything else. The prices are very misleading. We were charged extra so they can have a "livable wage". Maybe it wouldn't be so bad if we had a waitress and the water wasn't lukewarm but I think that's ridiculous. Owner should pay your staff the livable wage! Oh and my boyfriends $15 dollar burrito ended up being $20. read more

This was my partner and I first time in Minnesota visiting an old friend and literally chose this place at random. The restaurant has a great selection of food however the dishes are mediocre. I believe the best dish was the "Butter Tin Hash". The french toast was good as well just way TOO MUCH Syrup "I wish the customer had a vote". Next the Wallye Cake Bernie was decent at best "6 out of 10"... On Another note the Bathroom was clean and parking is street parking only...CUSTOMER BEWARE- this spot has a mandatory "Livable Wage Surcharge" which is (20%) on every bill! This place really sucked for that... Overall I would not come back here but worth visiting if you never been here.. read more

I came here for breakfast. The food and coffee was good and the service was great. Will return to try different menu items.

Good coffee and service is very attentive. The cinnamon roll is awesome. Loaded Hashbrowns are okay. The hashbrowns are cooked really well (crispy but not burnt) but the sauce was too vinegarry. I wasn't wowed by them as I'd expect for a special whose price changes daily. Nice it came with a salad. The biscuits and gravy...well, not like any I've ever had before, and not really in a good way. It is green-ish and grainy, slightly greasy with little flavor. The biscuit was stale and dry. Who knows, maybe we caught them on a bad day. I'd come back for the coffee and to try something else from the pastry case. read more
