We came in a few months ago and we were sat at a booth by the hostess and no one came to our table…read morefor over 15 minutes while other guests were being served and greeted. We were in plain sight of everyone so we didn't know whether our server was on a break and didn't get their table covered or what but we just got up and left. It was so uncomfortable to be in a room of people and just completely ignored, and it was relatively embarrassing to get up and leave after other customers just stared at us waiting for any kind of acknowledgement. We had been here many times before this instance so we decided to try it again recently and it was very disappointing. The table and booth were so sticky, there was just a general layer of dirt-film over everything in our booth. Our server had to come back to our table multiple times to get our breakfast order put into the kitchen (one trip for potato choice, one trip for eggs and I still didn't even get the right kind, one trip for toast, one trip for the meat, I felt like I was being punk'd), the food was extremely underdone but somehow took forever to prepare so I really just had toast and coffee for breakfast (almost raw hashbrowns, raw onions, barely melted cheese) and it was over $50 for two of us to have breakfast with a tip. When we moved here three years ago it was one of our solid spots for a bite to eat but I don't think I'd go back again after the last two experiences. We thought the first instance was a fluke when we weren't served or even greeted after we were sat but now the food isn't really worth going back for. Used to feel like a place to bring family and now it just has a very different vibe. Servers were nice and it's got potential to reign it back in but I can't say I'll be holding my breath. Really sad to see such a decline.

There are so many waffle combinations and drinks to choose from! I had the Oreo Up waffle and it…read morewas delicious. The bubble waffle was cooked fresh to order and was fluffy and slightly sweet. The oreo ice cream was standard, and it was topped with a generous amount of oreos. The waffle soaked up the ice cream as it melted without getting too soggy. The color changing spoon was a fun touch. There is free parking in the lot outside, and plenty of seating on the inside. It's very clean and the volume is on the quieter side. They also sell bags of their waffle mix so you can make it at home.

Super cute and clean place!…read more Coco loco is a refreshing coconut water drink with basil seeds, aloe Vera, and lychee jelly. Perfect for something sweet but not overly heavy. Berrylicious waffle comes with raspberry chocolate chip ice cream, fresh blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries. The waffle is perfectly cooked - fluffy with a little density and crisp. The sweetness is all balanced together.

I've been to mallards a few times now and always is amazing!…read more Our usual go to is the shrimp boil for two. This shrimp boil is some of the best in Minnesota that I've had! We've brought countless friends here to try it and it's a heafty feat! You get around 40 to 50 pieces of shrimp, around 10 things of potatoes, six things of corn, and sausage too... it's humongous. You really get your moneys worth! If I'm being honest I haven't tried anything else here but I can assume it's equally amazing! I'm really looking forward to coming back here in the summer and enjoying this on their outdoor patio. But so far really love mallards and will always recommend it as it go to spot for anything seafood related! At our most recent stop our waiter was kind gave us lots of recommendations and was quick to refill our drinks or ask if we needed anything throughout our entire experience. This goes for each time we've been here, the service has always been wonderful. I find it this location really unique and it sits on upscale while also being able to be casual. Thank you Mallards for a wonderful time!

I'm a savory breakfast type-of-person so I ordered eggs Benedict for myself and strawberries cream…read morepancakes for my kids. I fell in love with pancakes. They were moist, had a little bit of saltiness to them (I'm guessing from butter), so good even without syrup. On the other hand tho, the egg Benedict was dreadful. The hollandaise sauce seems to be the problem. Literally tasted like hospital food, 0/10 for the Benedict. I would also switch out the Canadian bacon for better quality. I also wish the waiter had been more lively and attentive. Overall I would come back, literally for the pancakes!!

I always get a cortado every new place I go. It gives me a chance to see how well they make a shot…read moreof espresso.... They under extracted the shot a little. It was on the bitter side, but not horrible. I believe they are serving a Brazil bean and it should have a pronounced nutty/chocolate flavor at this level of roast. If the clicked those grinders down 2 notches it would probably be a much better cup. It's an industrial sort of setting, the staff was neither friendly nor rude. Just very average. The potential is there for it to be a great coffee spot!

Wow!!!! What a great find. I knew it would be exceptional…read morewhen the proprietor/manager held the door open and greeted us. We opted to sit at the bar because it is always a good place to pick up the vibes of staff and watch preparations. There is an open kitchen for all to see and Perk Up was meticulous. We shared a heavenly cinnamon roll, followed by the best breakfast skillet we have ever eaten. The skillet was accompanied by whole grain toast that was delicious with their proprietary jam. We will hit this spot next time we are in Minneapolis!

Both were good but the biscuits and gravy was the favorite. It came with a huge portion of potatoes and the gravy had good flavor. The poutine was good but the hollandaise soaked into the fries quickly and the scrambled eggs were a little overcooked. You can tell they use good quality ingredients and everything came out piping hot. There is plenty of parking in the lot as well.

It was very busy today, and she was still incredibly attentive and quick on her feet. The food was great, as always - I got my usual salmon scramble and chocolate chip pancakes.

Im not sure if presentation could be changed, but just not what we expected! We loved our server, she was kind and filled our coffee's super quick!

The Buzz is a great place to stop by for waffles and more!…read more I first discovered this cafe through a vegan friend - The Buzz has a secondary vegan waffle menu that is full of tasty options, and not limited like many breakfast places are! I have been back numerous times to try their vast menu of waffle choices and coffee. The small cafe is always bustling with visitors on the weekend - if you are looking to dine in, arrive early or be prepared to wait for a seat. I highly recommend for anyone to check out! I have never been disappointed by the quality of food and service. They even have punch cards for frequent visitors!

The portions are also really big for only being around $7? Again, a great place for groups to share. Overall, I was really impressed with their new spot and I look forward to trying it in the summer!

We found street parking right outside the front door. Great experience.

Edelweiss is easily my favorite spot in the area…read more There's almost always a line on weekends, but it's totally worth it and moves fast so you're not waiting long. Everything looks so good it's hard not to over order. They have a really great mix of sweet and savory options. Pastries, donuts, cakes, sandwiches, and more. The quiche is one of my go-to items and the breakfast pastries are always so good. They also have homemade granola that is to die for. Coffee and matcha are consistently great also. I love their seasonal fresh orange juice but it is a little pricey. The space itself is super cute and nicely decorated with plenty of seating, so it's a great place to sit and actually enjoy your food. I also love that they're open in the evening for wine and small plates. Makes it such a fun and unique spot for the area. Such a great local spot that does it all really well. Definitely recommend.
