I've been here a couple times now and it's always had reliable service, reliable food, but nothing that blows anything out of the water. This past weekend we got the biscuits & gravy, BBQ oyster scramble, and they were both okay. The hash browns were really tasty - perfectly fried, not greasy, just right. The biscuits and gravy had great, rich-tasting biscuits and the gravy did help with the moisture level. The oyster scramble though was a disappointment. I'm usually a HUGE fan of oysters, and the scramble was just so overdone that all the flavors melded together and I couldn't taste anything special. Good value though, good prices. Decor, space, all of that stuff is still great. Perfect for anything besides a romantic date. There's almost always a 15-30m wait on the weekends for brunch, but they'll text you once they have your seat ready so you can walk around the Hennepin area or go to one of the neighboring cafes for some coffee/tea. read more

Yum yum yum! This is one of my fave brunch places in Minneapolis. The Sweet Potato Hash is my go to breakfast dish and it is hearty and delicious and packed with flavor. The staff is also always nice and accommodating. read more

One of the places that caters to my brunch addiction! And their dinner isn't bad either. Their brunch menu is full of classics with a twist, so you can satisfy a need for comfort and adventure all in one place. I ordered their biscuits and gravy, which had a slightly sweet, almost cinnamon-y flavor to them. They were also served with an overeasy egg. A bit more upscale than your classic southern-style B&G. The real reason to come here for brunch, however, is their Bloody Mary. I've never been a fan before coming here! My only complaint is that they're $10 and NOT bottomless (unlike my beloved mimosas at Loring Kitchen), but I suppose getting drunk isn't (always) required for brunch... I came here again for dinner the other night as well and sampled a few things off their menu -- including trying oysters for the first time (yuck). Their deviled eggs are incredible as an appetizer -- some genius decided to top them with crumbled bacon! I ordered the steak and pierogies as an entree. The steak was really juicy and tender, albeit a little charred in places. And the cheesy pierogies were out of this world. My date ordered the salmon and asparagus, which I couldn't resist trying, and it was fantastic. Asparagus was perfectly crispy (nothing worse than poorly cooked asparagus) and the salmon was flaky and flavorful. read more

I've always been pleased with my visits to the Lowry. The shirred eggs are one of my fave brunch items in Minne. The service is always great, and they always seat you promptly even when there is a wait. I love their bloodies! The cheese is divine and the main reason I get it :) The cheese curds, oysters, and all the breakfast items are great. Stick to those and you're in good shape. I don't see a need to frequent Lowry any more than I have. There is definitely a cult crew going here. It's good but not so great that you need to go every Sunday, nah mean? read more

We've been to The Lowry three times in the last 6 months for breakfast, lunch, and happy hour. Our latest trip was for Happy Hour, which turned into dinner, so I am going to focus on that. However, their breakfast is great. The Meatloaf Hash is delicious, and the Hangtown Fry (bacon, eggs, fried oysters, greens, and chipotle mayo on a bun) is the perfect hangover cure. The night we went, Sara and I, had planned on splitting and app and having a drink or two before our hair appointments. That quickly changed when we saw the Happy Hour menu. Suddenly we we eating a dinner made up of appetizers. For Happy Hour, The Lowry offers a selection of cheap booze and several specials on apps. We had a hard time making up our mind, so we order wings, oysters, deviled eggs, pot stickers, and sliders. Plenty of food for the two of us. My wife had some wine and I tried a couple different bourbon based cocktails. I started with the Fancy Free (Bourbon, Luxarado Maraschino Liqueur, Orange Bitters) and washed that down with the Brown Derby (Bourbon, Honey Syrup, Grapefruit Juice). Both drinks were well-crafted and tasty. Even with some strong ingredients the Bourbon was still the star of the show. The Lowry really knows how to mix a drink, or at least the bartender working that evening did! The food was good as well. Nothing mind blowing, but everything was good across the board. This seems to be the case with all the Blue Plate Restaurants. The food is consistently good, no matter what you order. I appreciate that. Rather than have a couple great things on the menu, and lots of mediocre items as, Blue Plate Restaurants do a pretty good job at covering all the bases without trying to do too much. I'm sure Sara and I will be back to The Lowry. Most likely for breakfast. I wake up thinking about the Hangtown Fry, just about every time I'm hangtowned! read more

Mmmm. The food here is delicious, comfort food at its best. I've only been here for dinner, but I hear their brunch is divine. My meatloaf was savory and moist, and the spicy ketchup made me get over my normal ketchup aversion. The drink menu is extensive, and were it not so crowded, I could see myself spending a while there with drinks and a good book. So why three stars, you wonder? The service. I came in with a friend at 6 PM, and the restaurant was packed on a Tuesday. We were told there was a 45 minute wait, and that was being optimistic. Since this was a long time and we were hungry, we took a moment sitting in the lobby to decide what to do. The hostess staff kept coming over to us with annoyed looks on their faces telling us we needed to make a decision. After about 5 minutes, we decided to stay, and we were seated 5 minutes later. I don't know where 45 minutes came from, but the hostesses should get better at estimating unless they want to scare away diners! Our waiter was helpful and the food came quickly, but I kept being distracted by one waitress walking by us wearing fishnets and a skirt that barely covered her bum. NOT the best sight when you're about to eat! Another thing about this place is the clientele-- if you are a hipster, you may be shocked at being the only one of your type here. This is more of a yuppie place, full of very attractive couples in their late-twenties, attractive businessmen getting drinks, attractive groups of woo girls...you get the idea. At some point, I felt like I was in the midst of a commercial for insurance or tampons. The decor was homey, but the people surrounding me...not so much. read more

Came here with friends, at the suggestion of said friends, while on a trip to the Twin Cities. Unpleasant from the start, we'd unknowingly arrived near the close of "Happy Hour," which meant we were bombarded for our food and drink order seconds after our queer and clearly bitchy server placed menus in our hands. For those that might take offense with the aforementioned statement: fret not, for I too engage in the Love that dare not speak its name. Wanting time to peruse the menu as is customary in most eating establishments, our server appeared bothered with the request and stalked off, returning with glasses of water that he ceremoniously slid around our table of 4 as though we were all engaged in a high stakes game of table hockey. "Ready to order now," he asked nastily, voice dripping with syrup and misplaced condescension. We rattled off a request for deep-fried bits, oysters, Sazeracs, and a few glasses of wine and our torturor minced away. With budding anthropologists in our group, speculation on the level of satisfaction in our server's sex life began shortly after this particular interaction. The verdict: unfulfilled. Overall, the food was as miserable as our server's attitude. Cocktails were passable, but the lazy diner feel and rude service were together, peculiar and abhorrent. We paid and left without further drama, although during our time there, we worked up quite the interesting profile of personality defects most likely in the possession of our server. Throw this one in the "will not return" pile. read more

Amazing Food. Amazing Happy Hours. Great tap selection. Great wait staff. Fantastic restaurant. Large booths for big parties. Has its own large, free private parking lot! read more

Cheese curds- great! Bison burger- great! Turkey burger- great! Buffalo chicken chips... Sounds delicious but was awful. I was highly disappointed with them but the cheese curds and blueberry ketchup blew us away. They were phenomenal and made up for the buffalo chicken chips, which were a bit slimy, cold and flavorless. The lackluster waitress could also have been better. She was absent for most of the time and didn't seem to have much of a personality. I found that other waitresses made up for her absence (by absence, I mean that she stood by the waiter station talking to others and not necessarily busy with other customers). The other waiters and waitresses filled our waters and checked in on us more than our waitress who was less than amused with her job. Overall a good experience made up for by the other waiters and food options. read more

It's a bit too expensive to be as neighborhoody as it wants to be, but an overall enjoyable experience. I had the Brown Derby, which is super delicious (yes, kinda small, but I'm half Asian so...that's cool.) Had a cup of tomato soup which would blow your mind. Cheese melted on top. And like four bucks. Then I got this blueberry cobbler which came on this gigantic plate. Also delish. Somebody with me got the jalepeno poppers, which are not so much my bag, but they seemed to like them. I'd say give it a try. It's at least decent, and a new kind of restaurant for this part of uptown. read more

Great experience for our first visit to The Lowry. Service was excellent, prices are fair and the food was fantastic. I had the turkey burger and the woman had the salmon sammich and they were both bomb. Unique flavors on both. Thought the portions were fine. I weigh 240 pounds and I was stuffed from just the burger and slaw. The lady also had a cocktail which she said was strong but yummy (as it should be). My one critique was the slaw. Expected a bit more as the other option to fries, but it was a little bland. But I'll be back soon. Mmmmmm. read more

Nice spot but I expected a bit more. But maybe I should have ordered something off the breakfast menu. I had the turkey burger and decided to upgrade to the daily soup (a "seafood" soup). My main issue with the burger was the bun. It was served on a cheap egg bun. And my soup shouldn't have been called "Seafood Soup." I was only got one tiny piece of seafood in it so that was disappointing. For an appetizer, we ordered the French Fry Poutine. Ive never had that before and I loved it. I did like our server. He was in really good spirits and very accommodating to our special water requests. read more

I have been to the Lowry a couple times now and both times have come away very impressed. Last fall I got the special of the day, the paella! Who woulda thunk? After coming back from a trip to Spain, I found myself drawn to this item. After ordering it, I thought that I may have made a mistake given that I just came back from nearly two weeks of gorging on Spanish cuisine. After all, why would I think the Lowry version could possibly stack up? After a couple bites however, I found that I had made an excellent choice. The Lowry version could definitely stand up to what I had tried in the mother country of that dish. On a more recent trip, I asked the waitress about the perogies and steak entree. It seemed like an odd menu item. I have learned over the years that odd menu items are either AMAZING or TERRIBLE, so it pays off to consult the wait staff on such matters. She replied that it was one of their best selling items. So like my experience with the paella, it was fantastic. I was particularly impressed with the fine piece of meat I got with my perogies (very good for the US but nowhere near what I stumbled upon in Krakow back in 2007). For $15, this dish was an absolute steal for red meat lovers looking for a fine piece of red meat at Applebees pricing. read more

Service was friendly and prompt! The food was AMAZING! I had the Lowry burger, sweet potato fries and shared cheese curds! The best! There was this peanut sauce for the sweet potato fries that I dunked my burger in....just go! read more

Why is this place so busy Mon - Sun, morning, afternoon, and evening?? I've been driving by The Lowry for 2 years now and notice it's always packed. To me, the outside looks like a diner or any other hamburger joint, but... This place is real classy. I came here for happy hour with co-workers. The host said he couldn't seat us at a table unless a server was willing to serve a group of HH guests. Minus one star for that discrimination. With that said, our waiter was so charming and flirty and full of PRIDE! He had a sexy southern accent and winked at us a lot and offered one group member a change of drinks if she didn't like hers. Check-ins were done at just the right intervals. And the food. Sliders = juicy. Makes every other slide I've had taste like cardboard mice. Drinks = strong Wings = slightly battered with a perfect crisp, dill + ranch dip (dare I say that this is the best wings app I've ever had? Wings at most places are have too much batter and oil and tasteless chicken. This is the opposite of that.) Steak salad = perfectly juicy and great presentation. Other co-workers ordered the boneless wings and chicken potstickers, which they liked. And how can you resist a place that has a fireplace near the entrance. I wouldn't mind coming here for happy hour everyday. :) read more

This is my one of two go-to spots for breakfast in Uptown. Still a favorite. Here's an update of what to get! Ranchero --- what a delightful omission on the menu: this dish is drenched in pork (no worries - the waiters always remember to add this when you place the order). The pork is everywhere and delicious, but somehow, the tortada takes the cake. Farmers Breakfast --- great rendition to a classic. Everything was piled on each other in the best possible way. read more

I ate at the Lowry for brunch with my dad and brother one weekend morning. Positives: Parking Lot (free) Bloody Marys (large and in charge) Clean Good service Great ambiance Mediocres (these aren't negatives per se): Food I had the veggie scramble and thought it was just so-so. It is a good place for your standard brunch fare, but I'm not SCRAMBLING (see what I did there?!) to go back. However, the happy hour specials seem pretty good, so I'll give it another go at a different time of the day. read more

The service, menu and food were excellent while the atmosphere was comfortable. Highly recommend.

I wasn't sure what to expect on my first time at the Lowry, but it was clean, friendly, and tasty with good service. I really have no complaints. Even the coffee was good. My partner and I are hosting his mom (from L.A.) in town for a week. She likes comfort food (well, don't we all?) and it's easier to find in the Midwest than in the city of Angels near her senior condo. Soooo we looked for a place that would have good recognizable tasty food. That place, today, was the Lowry. I had the shirred eggs. A good portion size -- filling but not over-filling. Really flavorful, with chunks of ham, mushrooms, and some truffled cream around the soft-cooked eggs. Delicious. My partner got the Farmer's breakfast, which he just loved-- but he could only eat half. It is HUGE. Truly a farmer's (or physically-hardworking person's) meal! So we got half of it in a to-go container for his breakfast tomorrow. And they were kind enough to write "The Lowry / Farner's / 12.30" on the container so it won't get lost in the fridge. My mother-in-law had eggs benedict, which she said was VERY good. So we were all happy about the food. We didn't have to wait long for a table, because we'd called ahead to put our name on the list. And the parking was pretty good too, right next to the building. Amazing parking for Uptown, actually. And our server was attentive but not pushy. So all I can say is, it was really great and we'll be back again! read more

I went to the Lowry last week and thoroughly enjoyed the Fish Tacos that I ordered. I had to add sriracha for extra spice, but the flavor was great and the portion was good size. I also had a few bites of my friend's Mac & Cheese and that was good too--not amazing--my standards are ridiculously high for M&C but definitely better than average. I've been to The Lowry once before and ordered the Cheese Curds for an appetizer and the Spinach Salad for my entrée. The cheese curds were pretty darn good--rivaling some of the best I've had, and I'm from Wisconsin so that bar is set pretty high. But perhaps more importantly, the cheese curds come with a size of blueberry relish, which is really interesting. I wouldn't say that I prefer the blueberry relish to your standard ketchup or ranch dressing, but it's certainly a unique twist and surprisingly quite complimentary! All in all two very good meals. On top of that, The Lowry has it's own parking lot which is relatively rare in Uptown-- a major perk for busy nights. read more

Normally I wouldn't write a review on take-out food but this time I'm going to. My sweet fiancé surprised me with take-out because we both didn't feel like cooking after big work days. Holy cow. So good. We ordered salads and a couple roasted veggie dishes. The Brussels were charred to the perfect texture, well seasoned and had the right amount of fat. The green beans were sweet and spicy with crispy pork on top to set it off. This will be my new go-to when I'm craving healthy comfort food after a long day. read more

I loved the building from the outside. The milky blue colour of the building and the red "hollywood" like sign on the building that's written in just the most lovely typography got me excited. Inside, the interior didn't quite match the cute exterior. Everything is wooden or brown and reminded me of a church I used to attend in childhood. This restaurant certainly has a confused personality complex! The food itself was lackluster. The fish n chips I had were not memorable. I've certainly have had much better. I perhaps should have tried the oysters, but, after paying $14 for mediocre fish n chips, I didn't want to take the risk of wasting more money on their food. Nope, never going back here. read more

Incredible new restaurant. Everything on the menu looked exciting and delicious. If I lived here I'd immediately become a regular. I was on a short trip to Minneapolis and my friend and I stopped here in the morning to get some food. We were amazed at everything on the menu. I quickly ordered some incredibly fresh Oysters, and we both got eggs benedict. This is a real gem of a place. Incredible design and atmosphere, an outdoor deck for the summertime and an outstanding brunch menu and crowd. I wish there were one of these places in Portland! There's also a parking lot for the restaurant. I'm not used to parking lots (I bike unless I'm on trips). That was definitely a plus! read more

Two stars is generous. I can't believe how disappointing this place was. Our family came here for brunch on two occasions and both times had completely inept hostesses. On the first occasion, it was labor day weekend and we put our names on the wait list ahead of our arrival as suggested online. We called ahead as well to make sure that they were seating on the patio and that we could bring our dog. No problem. We arrived and were greeted by the hostess who told us that it would only be five minutes before we could be seated on the patio. Great! ONE HOUR LATER (and hubby walking the parking lot that whole time with the pup) we still weren't seated. We decided to give up. The manager came running after us and asked for a second chance. Gave us some gift certificates and asked us to come again another time. We took them up on the offer the following spring. This time we arrived (sans dog) and put our names on the list and were told it would be a 35 minute wait. Okay. After about half an hour hubby inquired as to how much longer. Guess what?! They lost our name entirely! They claimed that someone probably stole our table but seems unlikely. We were right there and never heard our name called. Okay, so they said we would be the very next table seated - not, but they did seat us shortly. Okay, finally settle in and ready for a good drink and meal. It was brunch so I ordered a bloody Mary. It might have been the worst one that I have ever had. I couldn't even drink it. I left most of it in the glass. Hubby would call that alcohol abuse. It was mostly horseradish and ice. Maybe a splash of tomato juice. As for the meal, son had a hard time finding something he liked. To be fair I saw many items on the menu that looked good. I ended up settling on the chilaquiles with poached eggs. One of the eggs was over cooked and otherwise there was just way too much chorizo. The whole dish was out of balance. I ended up leaving much of it on my plate. With regards to the table service, though friendly, it wasn't much better than the hostess service. It was slow and a larger table seated after us was taken care of much faster. They had drinks before us, their meals before us and left before us. We also noticed that though they had a long wait the tables were cleared very slowly and left empty for quite a while. We speculated that they are doing this on purpose to make the restaurant seem busier and more popular than it actually is. read more

Ate here with my brother and family while visiting from out of town. I was skeptical at first, but the Lowry is actually a pretty solid place to grab some decent food. We have a 16-month old, so dining is always a bit stressful and we never know how "the baby" will behave. I wasn't expecting this place to be as kid-friendly as it was. We arrived to a kid's menu with a container of goldfish (score!) and the grilled cheese that I ordered for her was HUGE. I got the fish tacos, which were a bit spicy for me, but still delicious. My husband was brave and got the oysters (it was still happy hour), which he said were good, as well as a burger. As a parent, I feel obligated to report that the table height was actually quite low at our booth to where my daughter (who is still a super-petite 29") could actually eat off the table. Most restaurants leave her staring at the gum under the tabletop. It's amazing what parenthood does to your priorities. read more

The Lowry was awesome. I went there with a friend Friday evening and we ordered two appetizers and an entree to share. The roasted brussel sprouts and wings were phenomenal. I was amazed at how great the wings tasted. For the entree we got the Pesto Pappardelle, which was lovely. The service was very effecient and kind. We really enjoyed our server! Overall, a great place to hang in uptown. read more

I went here for breakfast, finally, and the food was just as great as dinner. It would've bumped my previous review up to 5 stars, but unfortunately their blood marys are TERRIBLE and overpriced. I spent $7 for something that tasted like spicy v8 straight from the bottle. Go for the food but do NOT get a Bloody. If you are a fan of bloodys I suggest the Triple Rock or Muddy Waters. Or a build-your-own bar like at Luce or Suzis. Crepes were delicious, though! read more

I live a block from The Lowry so loving it is both a gift and a curse. My wife and I went there for the first time on a Friday evening during happy hour. We didn't sit at the bar, but they still gave us the drink deals which are not too shabby. $4 for a pint of Dirty Bastard... I can deal (plus their tap selection is impressive). Anyway, we got there at like 6 or so and it was perfect timing. We pretty much got the last table and everyone after us had a 25+ min wait. I had the Blue Bison burger and my wife had the Mac n Cheese. Both meals were unique enough to intrigue us, but familiar enough to satisfy that burger and cheesy pasta craving. And they were both dang good. On some other notes, the service was great and the atmosphere is pretty unique. They go for the "urban diner" feel and it's pretty spot on. Nothing crazy, but warm and modern. Next I'll be in for some whiskey. read more

Over priced for the quality of food you'll receive. One of us ordered a BLTA and the bacon was so undercooked it was inedible. Parking lot is a nightmare. Kids meal doesn't include drink and is expensive. Wouldn't recommend. read more

I know The Lowry is fairly new so it's obviously going to have some kinks to work out, but if you want to start building repeat business from the get-go, you can't afford to let those kinks linger. So when my husband visited The Lowry a few weeks ago and mentioned the n00b level of service he got, he was hoping that this wouldn't be a permanent fixture of the place. Needless to say, they're not quite there yet. We were seated fairly quickly... and then it was a good 15 minutes before anyone stopped by. Plenty of servers were passing through, and some were lounging about for a couple of minutes just a few short feet away. I mentioned to my husband, "normally in classier joints, this is the point where someone notices us craning our necks and asks us if we've been helped." A few minutes later, we did get our server. But man, way to start things off on the wrong foot. Once the service got going though, all was well. They do have the sazerac on the menu, which brings me much joy, and it was certainly palatable albeit served in the wrong glass to let the nose properly linger (yes I'm being a snob). My husband ordered the New Belgium Super Cru off of the menu, but didn't get the Super Cru... he got the newest New Belgium Lips of Faith beer, but he didn't find that out until our server passed through again and he had to ask him what was up. The beer nuts? Awesome. The rest of the food? Well, it's Blue Plate; some items are ubiquitous, so they're not going to cause much surprise, like the turkey burger. My husband was surprised by the carrots and celery in his poutine -- it was like stew on top vs. gravy -- but he was still pleased with it. Our brownie dessert was positively lovely. In all, the service level was distressing and if they don't get that fixed, they're going to hurt. But otherwise, the Lowry is perfectly fine. I'd love to come back again some time and be convinced to raise my stars; but seriously, normally I would walk out after 15 minutes without a server. Not cool. read more

I've been meaning to check out the Lowry for a few months & finally did this morning for breakfast. I ordered the peanut butter waffle & Ryan ordered the biscuits and gravy. I absolutely loved the waffles! They were delicious & the perfect amount. I tried some of Ryan's plate which was also great. I liked the gravy a lot & the hashbrowns were excellent as well. Very cool ambiance & very good service. Can't wait to return to try lunch or dinner! read more

I went to the Lowry twice in three days during a trip to Minnesota in November. That probably tells you SOMETHING. They're a little dear in price - I was glad that I'm a vegetarian, since that did keep prices down. I had the pasta with pesto sauce and vegetables, a couple (a few!) of their beers, and the jalapeño cheese curds. The pasta was good - it was pesto pasta and tasted as it should. The beer list is phenomenal and the servers were very helpful in choosing beers. The cheese curds, though? I think that these cheese curds may have changed my life a little bit. They're spicy and cheesy and there's that slightly weird and addictive squeak on your teeth when you get past the breading to the actual curd. All and all, we had great service good-to-great food and a great time. read more

The Lowry tends to be one of my go to places. I really like the food and the service is hit or miss. My two favorites meals are the fire roasted vegetable salad and the roasted vegetable sandwich, I'm not a vegetarian, just a veggie lover. However, their fish tacos and fish and chips are delicious! I recommend all of the above. I have also heard great things about their brunch. I have yet to try it, but it is on my list. I prefer to sit in one of the booths that is along the wall. If there is just two of you, I recommend requesting a booth, otherwise they will put you at a table for two that is very close to another table for two. I think the last time I was there the table next to us was only a foot away. On the weekends this place is packed! Expect to wait about 45 minutes on a Friday or Saturday unless you call ahead, so call ahead. read more

Wonderful, friendly, and attentive staff. I went for brunch, which also happened to be their morning happy hour until 11am. They had 4 happy hour drinks to choose from, each for only $3! I ordered the Spinach Frittata and I can't stop thinking about it since my visit. I would highly recommend the frittata as well as the restaurant in general! I loved the classy diner feel with a laid back atmosphere. read more

I always imagined the Lowry was the Lorax's cousin or something. As it turns out it is a nice cafe in Uptown run by the Pat's Tap people. Whats even better is that you can hear yourself think here. Its a great place to try unique craft beer and sample some stylized bar food. The decor is kind of an upscale diner vibe. I thought it was cute. The beer list is fairly extensive. I tried an Unearthly IPA and found it very good. The Tempura Beans were a great appetizer. A very light breading found these tasty without being too filling. I forgot the plum dip until halfway through. It was sweet but good. My Lowry Burger was cooked medium just as I requested. The flavor was very nice. The fried shallots were ok, but you wouldn't know them from onions. The bacon was cooked nicely. Overall it was a flavorful refined burger. The side of coleslaw had craisins in it, something lighter just like I wanted. My wife's burger (Peter's) was also nice. I don't really get the egg on the burger thing - but my wife did. She liked it. The side of fries wasn't bad, but nothing special. For dessert we shared a blueberry crisp. It comes warm with a scoop of ice cream. The hot/cold thing works well. Its a perfect way to top this meal off. Maybe if the Lorax had served good food like his cousin, no one would have had time for thneeds and we would still have truffula trees. Just sayin' read more

I'm from CA so when I come out to MN I'm looking for the best cheese curds I can get. I was told to try The Lowry and it was awesome! Friendly and attentive servers, reasonably priced food, and a high end kinda atmosphere. I only had the cheese curds and a beer but they were INCREDIBLE and they came out pretty quick! This place is great! Totally recommend! read more

Ordered take-out, the Lowry burger and fries. Order was ready in about 20 minutes, perfect timing for my drive there. I easily would've given this 5 stars, except for the amount of fries I received was sad! I wish I would've gotten more than like 10 fries... The burger however was absolutely phenomenal. The fried onions and BBQ sauce were so delish! I will definitely be back for the Lowry burger. read more

When the place opened I was intrigued by how they had transformed the old Hollywood building and the menu I read online. But I didn't get to try The Lowry until recently, and have been there a few times in the last few months for breakfast. The decor is that of an upscale diner and the fireplace in the waiting area/lobby is a nice touch. I have had the same thing every time - poached eggs. They make it very very well. Actually, the best have had in the Twin Cities. When I ordered them on my first visit and the waitperson asked me how I'd like it done I knew they knew their poached eggs - what a treat! Other than that, the hasbrowns and matchstick french fries are both good. The yam fries were soft, and disappointing. Service is friendly, attentive. Of the other Blue Plate restaurants - Edina Grill, Highland Park Grill - this is the one I like the best. read more

The Lowry is our go to neighborhood spot. The service is prompt and super friendly, food is delicious and happy hour specials that can't be beat. The brussel sprouts are not to be missed nor the breakfast hash. Dog friendly patio is the back is perfect for a summer evening! read more
