The restaurant is always clean and the service is excellent! The food selections are good organic choices. However, they removed the widely popular, absolutely delicious hot pastrami sandwich. Why? It just disappeared!!! There is no other comparable option to this sandwich on their menu. My heart is broken. I was forced to try another selection: the Bruschetta chicken sandwich. The jury is still out on this one. Not bad. Just not as GREAT as the pastrami one. I tried the ever popular cinnamon roll with cream cheese frosting today. It's a one & done for me. The soaked in butter bread is a bit off putting for me. It's like oily wet bread. All of that butter upset my stomach. I only ate 1/3 of it...and had to toss it. Yeah, that's very disappointing. Money is tight...this meal was a real treat for me. All in all, BT is very good, great location, good service, good food.

This place is frequently packed, being below an apartment building and in a busy part of Northeast. Street parking is fairly easy to find, although you may have to walk a little ways. Order up front and they'll come find your table. We ordered the Pierogi Eggs and Sausage and a Bennie. The pierogi dish was filling but could have used a little more flavor. Still, with so many different things on the plate, it kept the meal interesting. Unfortunately, the eggs on the Bennie were overcooked, so we missed out on that perfectly runny yolk you want with a Benedict. The bakery case looked incredible, and they also have mimosas if you're looking for more of a brunch vibe. We ended up taking home a red velvet roll, which was dense and pretty decent overall. A solid neighborhood breakfast spot, especially if you're looking for something casual with plenty of options.

It's supposed to be renovated from the old 925 restaurant but feels like any changes were minor. I have always loved the cozy vibe there and glad that it still feels the same. We shared the Burrata without the pea shoots which we enjoyed . I had the Belle & Grey burger - thought it was a good burger and not opposed to ordering it again - the onion bacon jam added just the right amount of sweetness. 2 friends ordered the Steak of Lion's Mane Mushroom and they said it was pretty good. Another friend had the King Salmon but thought it lacked something, just wasn't tasty enough. I got a Hugo Spritz which was on the sweet side the way I like it. It's a good upscale cozy place for a meal.

Wagners has been around since 1971, but opened it's Brooklyn Park location in 1988. From the looks…read moreof it, you would think it has been there from the 1950's because it is an authentic drive-in restaurant. That means there are little speakers next to each parking stall from which you order (the menu is near the speaker) and they will bring the food to your car. They used to bring the food to you on a tray, but now it is bagged up for you to either enjoy in your car or to take home. Other options are to sit at one of about half a dozen picnic tables, or there is seating inside the restaurant. Frankly, Wagners was getting a bit run-down, but they have spruced up the place in the last couple of year, with a well-deserved paint job, new speakers, and new picnic tables. They even have hand held credit card readers, which saves the waitstaff from making extra trips to process your card. The menu has all of the classics you would want, from a variety of tasty, juicy hamburgers, hot and cold sandwiches, meals that include fries, coleslaw, and toast. Their French fries are crinkle cut and excellent: crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The onion rings are good and you can have Chile in a bowl or on your hamburger or hotdog. There are milkshakes, desserts, kids' meals and smoothies. I've eaten here for years and the food is always reliably great, the service is always friendly and the prices are very reasonable. Take your kids here, take your grandkids here, go here for a date, or just go yourself. It's a fun and tasty time!

I'll preface this with the fact that I'm not a fan of tex-mex, strip mall style joints. That said,…read moreLa Tapatia was a great experience. The atmosphere was trying to be trendy with the neon signs, rustic-chic, exposed duct aesthetic. The server was amazing. Incredibly friendly and helpful with questions that our group had. The food was also way better than I feared it might be. I appreciated the build-your-own option for a lot of the dishes. I got a large salad with grilled shrimp and it was pretty good. The shrimp was flavorful and the salad bright. I used some of the cilantro salsa that came with the chips as dressing and it was great. It happened to be my birthday and they brought out some churros as a treat, which was really nice. The churros, however, were pretty bad. Super dense and chewy. The service definitely added an extra star and that waiter (I didn't get her name) should get some recognition. I would put this in the "group pleasing", "work happy hour" bucket of restaurants. I would never suggest but definitely wouldn't be upset if the group chose here.

The food was amazing, hospitality was cozy, atmosphere was relaxing to be in. Their menu has much more we will need to return to try. They have an additional location in Minneapolis and a spot at the MN State Fair every year! I'm most eager to get back here to try breakfast soon! Brunch / breakfast is my love language. This place was perfect for the dinner atmosphere we needed on a cold MN evening. It would also be a great pick for date night. The things we tried and you should too: Chicken Wild Rice Soup (10/10) Buttermilk Chicken Sandwich (with the Maple Chipotle Glaze) Almond Encrusted Walleye Redemption Burger their fries were also a bit hit at our table Basically we loved this place and can't wait to try more items from them For more awesome food spots check out the account mallorymademetryitmn on Instagram!

Only issue was the bugs wanting to eat with us but that's what we get for wanting to eat outside. Aside from the bugs, totally recommended especially if you have to watch for food allergens.

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.

As a result, only a 5 star is justifiable here. Special shoutout to the fruit smoothies, especially pineapple and watermelon, which always came with the actual fruit as the cup as displayed in the photos below. Majority of the meat-based dishes have meat that is seasoned very well and cooked to "fall off the bone" tender, from the lamb shank to the lamb shoulder. I also thought the lamb gyro sandwich had some very flavorful sauce which made the sandwich itself very delicious. Many of the dishes came with fresh fruit, rice, and salads, which was an added plus. I also thought the dessert, especially the biscoff cake, was super delicious! They had a good selection of desserts, including baklava and macarons, all of which are very on point. Suffice to say that every dish was extremely tasteful, and I enjoyed every bit of my experience. It is worth noting that sometimes when I ate here, I would feel like my stomach needed some cleansing, because food here tends to be oily. However, it's an indication of flavor and I thought it was worth the pain lol.

First off, plenty of private on-site parking, which is always a win in the city. Inside, the space is stunning. Large windows line most of the walls, flooding the café with warm, natural light. There's an impressive variety of seating depending on your vibe--couches, high-top tables, standard tables, bar-style seating facing the gorgeous large windows, and even solo setups if you're craving true alone time. Thoughtful and inviting in every way. The service was equally lovely. Monroe, the barista who helped me, made a spectacular Iced Brown Sugar Honey Latte--so good I ordered a second after I finished my first one. He was happy to answer all of my questions about the bakery items, breakfast offerings, and the horchata lattes that caught my eye. I ultimately went with the Chicken Chilaquiles, and wow... that was absolutely the right move. The dish featured warm, juicy chunks of chicken breast over crispy fried tortilla chips, topped with fried eggs, sliced avocado, beets, cotija cheese, and tomatillo sauce. The sauce wasn't spicy, but had just enough gentle heat to balance the tanginess of the green tomato beautifully. I also appreciated that the chips weren't overly drenched, allowing each ingredient to shine. Crunchy, flavorful, satisfying, and filling--everything you want in a breakfast. The only thing I wasn't crazy about was the apple empanada. It may have been a one-off, but mine didn't quite hit the mark. Flavor-wise, it was good and accurately described as a slice of fried apple pie. Where it fell short for me was the filling-to-dough ratio. The filling was very minimal and almost paste-like, likely due to being reheated rather than baked fresh that day. I would've loved a filling with chunks of apples or simply more filling overall. Overall, the morning/afternoon I spent here brought me so much joy. I loved that there was no time limit--I was able to get a ton of work done while sipping delicious coffee, enjoying a slow, satisfying breakfast, and soaking in the sunshine. Vivir is a space that truly works for so many occasions: solo time, catching up with friends, family visits, or settling in for a few hours. I'll happily be returning whenever I'm in NE Minneapolis.
