1. Colossal Café

1839 E 42nd St (Ceder Ave.), Minneapolis, MN
Breakfast Spot · Nokomis · 36 tips and reviews

Haeyoon C.Haeyoon Chang: I went with the pork sandwich which had a wonderful sauce but the pork was a little tough. I should've gone breakfast, it appears their all-day breakfast is where the winners go.

2. Victor's 1959 Cafe

3756 Grand Ave S (West 38th St), Minneapolis, MN
Cuban Restaurant · Kingfield · 100 tips and reviews

Haeyoon C.Haeyoon Chang: Everything here is amazing. Even though I live nowhere by it anymore I make a point to drive out. My boyfriend liked his Cuban sandwich so much he got up and hugged the chef.

3. French Meadow Cafe & Bluestem Bar

8.9
2610 Lyndale Ave S (at 26th St.), Minneapolis, MN
Breakfast Spot · Whittier · 134 tips and reviews

Haeyoon C.Haeyoon Chang: I always get their pesto pasta with shrimp. For $11 it's a great deal and the portion is perfect. Comes with good bread on the side to soak up the extra pesto. Always sit out on the sidewalk.

The Bad Waitress Diner & Coffee Shop is one of Places I've Eaten.

4. The Bad Waitress Diner & Coffee Shop

2 E 26th St (at Nicollet Ave), Minneapolis, MN
Diner · Whittier · 109 tips and reviews

Haeyoon C.Haeyoon Chang: I got the macaroni and cheese and added grilled onions; the portion is huge (it's in the appetizer section). The bread was tough so I gave up on it but I'm never disappointed by the main course here.

5. Bryant-Lake Bowl & Theater

8.3
810 W Lake St (at Bryant Ave S), Minneapolis, MN
Bowling Alley · Lyn Lake · 126 tips and reviews

6.4
2600 Lyndale Ave S (at 26th St.), Minneapolis, MN
Dive Bar · Lowry Hill East · 70 tips and reviews

Punch Neapolitan Pizza is one of Places I've Eaten.

7. Punch Neapolitan Pizza

8.3
802 Washington Ave SE (at Oak St.), Minneapolis, MN
Pizzeria · University · 28 tips and reviews

Haeyoon C.Haeyoon Chang: Impressively enough, I asked the guy making my pizza how long it took him to train and he told me it was 6 straight months plus a trip to Italy before he could make pizza the right way.

Bun Mi Sandwiches is one of Places I've Eaten.

8. Bun Mi Sandwiches

604 Washington Ave SE (btwn Harvard & Walnut St SE), Minneapolis, MN
Vietnamese Restaurant · University · 33 tips and reviews

Haeyoon C.Haeyoon Chang: Their egg rolls and wontons are amazing. You can even get egg rolls on your salad. The sandwiches are good but I'm not a fan of the strange, slightly mealy, meat pate' that comes on them.

Toppers Pizza is one of Places I've Eaten.

9. Toppers Pizza

702 Washington Ave SE, Minneapolis, MN
Pizzeria · University · 10 tips and reviews

Haeyoon C.Haeyoon Chang: I stood in line and waited for 5 hours to win free pizza for a year. It was worth it. Slightly better than other delivery but their range of weird toppings puts them over other places.

Jasmine Orchid is one of Places I've Eaten.

10. Jasmine Orchid

304 Oak St SE (Washtington Ave & Oak St), Minneapolis, MN
Vietnamese Restaurant · University · 6 tips and reviews

Haeyoon C.Haeyoon Chang: I love their place. I can stop in anytime and get their great pad thai and the servers are starting to recognize me. Fast, large portions, and the egg rolls are amazing, crunch, and authentic.

Salut Bar Americain is one of Places I've Eaten.

11. Salut Bar Americain

8.0
917 Grand Ave (at Milton St), Saint Paul, MN
French Restaurant · Summit Hill · 70 tips and reviews

Haeyoon C.Haeyoon Chang: It can be pricy but if you stop in later you can do drinks, appetizers, and flatbread for a reasonable price. The fries are one of their more popular items but I like their steak with a flavor boat.

Stub & Herb's is one of Places I've Eaten.

12. Stub & Herb's

8.1
227 Oak St SE (at Washington Ave), Minneapolis, MN
Bar · University · 56 tips and reviews

Haeyoon C.Haeyoon Chang: The blue cheese stuffed burger was juicy but messy; every bite was a burning hot fountain of cheese and red meat juice. It's a very good burger for the price. Pretzel bun made it special.

13. Hot City Pizza

8.0
1017 7th St W (Randolph Ave), Saint Paul, MN
Pizzeria · West Seventh · 17 tips and reviews

Haeyoon C.Haeyoon Chang: I've been eating the hot ham and cheese with garlic butter for over 15 years. I've never added or taken anything away. I'm sure everything else is pretty awesome, too.

The Wienery is one of Places I've Eaten.

14. The Wienery

7.3
414 Cedar Ave S, Minneapolis, MN
Hot Dog Joint · Cedar-Riverside · 40 tips and reviews

Haeyoon C.Haeyoon Chang: Their vegetarian Italian brat is my favorite. Get fresh cut fries for only a dollar or two and they'll cut and fry the potato in front of you. Self serve soda is nice, too.

Blue Door Pub St. Paul is one of Places I've Eaten.

15. Blue Door Pub St. Paul

1811 Selby Avenue (at Fairview Ave), Saint Paul, MN
Burger Joint · Merriam Park East · 176 tips and reviews

Haeyoon C.Haeyoon Chang: It's usually incredibly crowded with a bit of a wait but I go for the Juicy Blue-cy. Blue cheese inside my burger is magical.

16. Casper & Runyon's Nook

9.2
492 Hamline Ave S (Randolph Ave), Saint Paul, MN
Burger Joint · Highland · 177 tips and reviews

Haeyoon C.Haeyoon Chang: I've waited at least half an hour every time I've gone but it's always worth it. Their $1 burger nights on Mondays are amazing; the burger isn't tiny, it's just flatter. Add $1 fries!

Smashburger is one of Places I've Eaten.

17. Smashburger

6.8
2100 Snelling Ave N (at County Rd B W), Roseville, MN
Burger Joint · 39 tips and reviews

Haeyoon C.Haeyoon Chang: I always get into a yelling match with my friend about whether the burger-to-price ratio is worth it. I always say yes. In winter it gets unbearably cold due to the door swinging. Hope they fix that!

18. Snuffy's Malt Shop

1125 Larpenteur Ave W (at Lexington Pkwy), Saint Paul, MN
Ice Cream Parlor · 30 tips and reviews

Haeyoon C.Haeyoon Chang: Their veggie patty is surprisingly filling and good. I get it with the Plaza fixings: rye bun, sour cream, and grilled onions. Always add a malt.

Groveland Tap is one of Places I've Eaten.

19. Groveland Tap

8.4
1834 Saint Clair Ave, Saint Paul, MN
Sports Bar · Macalester - Groveland · 96 tips and reviews

Haeyoon C.Haeyoon Chang: The nachos disappointed my face off (squeezy-cheese like) but I come for the rare treat of pierogi at a bar. Great beef selection at the bar and it's in a nice area with easy parking.

20. Russian Tea House

7.0
1758 University Ave W (at N Wheeler St), Saint Paul, MN
Russian Restaurant · Merriam Park East · 10 tips and reviews

Haeyoon C.Haeyoon Chang: Weird hours but the most filling, delicious food for a great price. The people are always the same, making and serving you, and they're wonderful. Fridays = potato dumpling with onion butter day!

21. Korean Garden

694 Snelling Ave N (Van Buren), Saint Paul, MN
Garden · Hamline - Midway · 4 tips and reviews

Haeyoon C.Haeyoon Chang: This place needs to chill and stop renaming and rebranding. Their bulgogi is tender and juicy and I've never had bad food. I just wish more people stopped in. It's usually dead.

22. Black Sea Restaurant

7.7
737 Snelling Ave N, Saint Paul, MN
Turkish Restaurant · Hamline - Midway · 37 tips and reviews

Haeyoon C.Haeyoon Chang: I've eaten here more times than I can count. I've had almost everything on the menu. It's small but I've never had to wait; to-go meals come out incredibly fast. $5 for the best kebab sandwich ever.

23. Taste Of Thailand

6.2
1671 Selby Ave, Saint Paul, MN
Thai Restaurant · Merriam Park East · 23 tips and reviews

Haeyoon C.Haeyoon Chang: Always, always, order for pick up. My favorite pad thai ever with those amazing, crunchy egg rolls but the table service usually takes forever and ever and ever.

Wilde Roast Cafe is one of Places I've Eaten.

24. Wilde Roast Cafe

65 SE Main St (at Riverplace), Minneapolis, MN
Café · University · 124 tips and reviews

Haeyoon C.Haeyoon Chang: The new location is really lovely and everyone enjoyed their food. Huge plate, great price, and the atmosphere is original and classic. My chicken sandwich was beautiful!

25. Great Moon Buffet

7.6
2855 White Bear Ave N, Maplewood, MN
Chinese Restaurant · Maplewood - Oakdale · 22 tips and reviews

Haeyoon C.Haeyoon Chang: The best Chinese buffet. Their ginger soy goes on everything for me and the cream cheese puffs are chewy, crunchy, and have a hint of crab flavor. The best around, I come back frequently.

26. Matt's Bar

8.6
3500 Cedar Ave S (at E 35th St.), Minneapolis, MN
Burger Joint · Corcoran · 234 tips and reviews

Haeyoon C.Haeyoon Chang: Amazing food slightly hidden away in the neighborhood. I wandered around after a party and found myself there, suddenly, with a delicious burger in front of me.

May Day Cafe is one of Places I've Eaten.

27. May Day Cafe

8.5
3440 Bloomington Ave (at E 35th St), Minneapolis, MN
