Elizabeth AndersonMay 17, 2014Pot roast was amazing! So we're the fries. I've never had fresh cut fries be so crispy! Also got the rabbit bit was disappointed it was a loaf and served cold, but still good.
City PagesAugust 5, 2014The pot roast at the Modern is the stuff of legend. The fries and breakfasts are tops, too. Read more
My favorite breakfast joint within walking distance of my place. Get the scrambled eggs.
Laura PalmenJuly 3, 2015NOW CLOSED! But had some truly amazing food and was great for vegetarians and vegans and for a truly delicious brunch!
Mpls.St.Paul MagazineMarch 14, 2011Try the Famous Modern Hash. The hash is a morning knockout: A duo of perfectly poached eggs on that holy pot roast, dressed with potatoes, peppers, and herbs.
Deeeeliciousness, great coffee, the option to drink breakfast booze, and FANTASTIC service!
Melissa HansenNovember 23, 2011Love the pot roast. If they served egg white omletes my family would come more often.
Katey PowersJanuary 9, 2012They keep a large table for parties of 5 or more open since they don't take reservations. Try the sidecar martini!

Heavy TableJanuary 3, 2011The vegetarian Pumpkin Soup ($14) with mole, sopes, and wild mushrooms is unique and addictively savory.
Minnesota LivingNovember 4, 2011Try the Pot Roast for dinner or pancakes, french toast, eggs and bacon for breakfast
Jason SandquistSeptember 3, 2011One of the best kept secrets of Minneapolis and it's appeared on "Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives".
Amy KeastJuly 26, 2011So true about the kids. It's hard to catch the servers in a good mood in general.
Take a picture of the giant COCK and post it on FourSquare.

Pampered eggs are awesome at brkfst. Pot roast is a specialty for lunch or dinner.
Good food but not the place for breakfast if you're in a hurry. The service gets slower every time.
Kim LaamaMay 30, 2009Have a local beer and a glass of wine at the same time while enjoying the pot roast.
Paul TeravskisMarch 19, 2010I think they put drugs in their fries. Thick cut, but not soggy, seasoned lightly, so good.
