Friendly Staff, delicious food and a perfect Brunch spot! Best part the hash browns are spicy 🤤 (not at all bland) Even better they have no touch menu with customization options. Some people (like me) might find this useful, because post pandemic most restaurants have the online menu but limited ability for customization. Not these guys!

Visiting the restaurant during covid, it was a little weird because there was no (bad) waitress to take your order 🥲😝 However, like before...the food was delicious. We ordered French toast with strawberries and blueberries, chicken and waffles, and milk shakes! Definitely love coming to the restaurant for some awesome breakfast!

They have a unique approach to ordering, wherein you scan a QR code at your table and place your order through the associated link, and the food gets delivered to you as it's rest. It definitely reduced the whole "they're waiting for me to make a decision" anxiety that other places have, and frees up the staff to be productive in other ways. The food was also solid-- good, classic diner fare that came out nice and hot.

The mimosa was fantastic. I thought the eggs were a bit too salty, but my bf, who was suffering from a bit of a hangover, said they were perfect. He then proceeded to take a bite out of the massive fresh jalapeño that came in his bloody, so I'm not sure we can trust his opinion. The pancakes and potatoes were a little salty too, but still tasty.

Great service! Really liked the mobile order experience. Super easy for split checks since everyone places individual orders through their own phones. The Nicollet coffee is super yummy!

Great diner with extensive vegan options. I’d you’re looking for a vegan pancake, this is your place in MPLS. Soo good, reminded me of a classic griddle pancake. The scramble is a little chunky as other mentioned but very good. Fruit was fresh. I got my meal to go but it was great to enjoy at home.

Ordered the trash browns and a latte through Doordash and both arrived fairly quickly, warm and tasted great! No issues! The trash browns are a bit on the pricey side but I nonetheless really enjoyed every aspect from the eggs to the buttered english muffins to the sautéed veggies. They do a quality job here and this was a great first impression of the place. I hope to dine in someday.

It's nice that they have some vegan options, but I would appreciate more. It was really just pancakes or tofu scramble for breakfast. The pancakes were really great though and I'll definitely come back when I'm craving classic pancakes! The tofu scramble wasn't really a scramble and I was hesitant when I saw pale tofu cubes, but they were seasoned well! I really enjoyed the potatoes too.

Honestly this is one of the best tasting breakfasts I’ve had in YEARS. The eggs are outstanding - the staff is super helpful and friendly - and the restaurant is SUPER CLEAN. Back again today for lunch - their fries are OUTSTANDING. Turkey Sandwich was solid too - outdoor seating is also clutch!
