    The food was to be expected, but my overall expectations based on the customer service was low quality...which is definitely important (coming from a customer visiting from out of town). Upon arrival, I was waiting by the sign that said wait here to be seated...but there was no host in sight, and after a few looks, I was told to go in line (by another customer) when I asked where I should stand while waiting to be seated. It was an unnecessary confusion for so many people waiting around. When I got to the front of the line, the lady at the cash register just said, "Oh, you don't have a number?" & rang up my order and gave me a number after that, which I was thankful for that. I was trying to simply enjoy my meal, but after getting up to use the bathroom (I had to wait a bit for that, as you need a code, which one of the workers there simply said the number out loud...which I tried to confirm was for the bathrooms? She kept walking)...my plate of food that I was finishing, was taken away and only my coffee and vitamin on the napkin I was using was left. I did not wish to cause a scene, but I did let my voice be heard, and let someone know who was working within eye sight behind the counter area that a portion of my food had been taken away and let her know that I had just tipped as well (while walking towards the bathrooms). I even let her know this was my one meal a day and obviously I wasn't happy about that (I probably had a good half of a plate left over, that I would have gladly taken back to my suite to finish up eating later!). She simply asked my table number, but didn't actually DO anything about it...if I was serving at the restaurant, I would have at least given a side of hash browns or maybe even a refund was called for. But nothing...I quickly left, shaking my head at the lack of basic customer service etiquette, empathy, & awareness. Based on my experience, I will not be returning.

    Biscuts and gravy for John and truffle mushroom for me! Oh, so good!

    Fantastic! So friendly and accommodating! It's a nice and relaxed space with little nooks and crannies to sit. Music is eclectic which is refreshing as we are allergic to Western. The Truffle Mushroom special was so good! The arugula was a great pairing! Compliments to the chef and prep cooks! John really liked his B and G!

    I was staying downtown for a weekend and had to go to this place both mornings I was in the area. It is THAT good! It's a cute restaurant on the corner with lots of windows that provide natural light. We were seated and given menus to order at the counter. The food came out quickly and was very delicious. Some of the menu items tried on both visits were the pigs eye breakfast, biscuits and gravy and avocado toast. All items were fresh and tasty! I didn't try the bakery items here since I was so full but next time I will need to get something to go. They have lots of pastries that look mouthwatering.

    Went for a week day breakfast. You order at the counter, get a number and find a seat. Food came quickly and was hot. Items that are available gluten free or vegetarian are marked on the menu, but for GF items aren't extensive. Street parking (metered) is closest parking with a paid lot on the opposite side of the block.

    Was in St.Paul for the week and stopped here about 3 of the days for breakfast! Super good and they have some sweets to pick up if that's your jive. I got the sausage and gravy and it was 5/5 and very flavorful. My roommate got the bacon and poached egg everyday from here and never complained lol. I would definitely add this to your list for breakfast or lunch.

    Everything was amazing! The French toast melted in your mouth. The lemon lavender mimosa was delightful! Portions were huge! I liked the order at the counter and then get served at your seat model as it kept things moving at a nice pace! We will definitely be back!

    Always a great choice. Friendly staff and yummy menu choices. Easy in & out, with street parking usually ample.

    Unique breakfast options. Lots of local fish on the menu. The avocado toast was solid, with pickled onions and red pepper. The home potatoes are very good, with peppers and onions. Not crispy but some crunch. Nice little downtown breakfast spot.

    I've eaten here several times and it's one of the places I know consistently has amazing tasting food. I've tried almost all the breakfast items and there isn't a bad thing on the menu, but the biscuits and gravy are the thing of dreams. The gravy is the perfect amount of meat to sauce ratio with layered flavors. We like the counter service. It's close to the farmer's market so it's fun to grab a bite then shop the local products. Staff is helpful and knowledgeable about the menu. Portions are sizable and priced well. They have expanded their seating a lot, but on weekends it's still very busy. The only downside to this location is the lack of parking. It's mostly metered on street parking.

    Blueberry Crumble Pie

    My favorite part about the buttered tin is that I can always count on them for two things. Their amazing eggs and their fresh baked pastries and pies. I always like to get my staples when the cravings hit. I was in luck to see one of my favorite soft scrambles was the soft scramble of the day and that the cinnamon rolls were half off. I also like to try a new dessert and today I tried the blueberry pie. It was amazing, especially if you like that sort of thing. I particularly liked the crust and the topping. The Salmon soft scramble was so good I forgot to capture a photo of it. I ordered hashbrowns as a side and was offered to substitute it for a different item in my entre vs add it on which was nice of the staff to offer that. The service was fun, delightful, and quick. And there was ample seating.

    Strawberries and cream cake
    Allison W.

    I was in desperate need of custom cakes for my kiddo's graduation party, and the Buttered Tin more than delivered. I sent them a photo of the napkins (which featured the theme and colors), told them about their guitar playing, chose the flavors (chocolate/salted caramel for one; strawberries and cream for the other), and trusted the rest to them. The results were better than I could have hoped for, and reasonably priced. I sent my sister-in-law to pick them up right before the party. The closest parking she could find was about two blocks away, so a staff member walked her to her car, carrying the other cake, and made sure they were safely settled before she drove away. Our guests absolutely loved the cakes, and we are enjoying what little we had left over. Thank you, Buttered Tin, for going above and beyond to make our kiddo's grad party so happy and memorable!

    The bananas foster was divine. So much of their breakfast menu looked eye popping. A friend had French toast and was very satisfied.
