This little place has made many lists and won many awards, including a James Beard Award. So does it live up to the hype? You betcha.
I ended up coming here twice during my last visit to Minneapolis, it was just that good. I normally don't do breakfast but I had to try it and try it again.
I was lucky, both times I came here there were seats available about 9:30 and 11:30 on a weekday but filled up quickly afterwards.
The staff is wonderful and very welcoming, accommodating, and friendly. But hey this is Minnesota so what would you expect?
The first time I was suggested to try the José (Poached eggs on Hashed Browns with Salsa and Cheddar Cheese) and that along with a side of sausage and some solid coffee made for a good breakfast. Add to that some good conversation and getting some local recommendations, especially for a good burger and everything was A-OK.
I decided to stop by once more before I left town and got the Jose again (which is great with the large selection of hot sauces that they have) and this time added a short stack of buttermilk flapjacks with blackberries and chocolate chip, OMG soo good!
A must visit and worth the wait. read more
