Hit up this old school diner (open since 1961!) and try their breakfasts or burgers. Cash only, no restroom. Good, honest food at a decent price though! -Erik

Come often and bring loved ones. -Adrien

The Fish Fry is amazing! Total of 5 or 6 ingredients for the batter... And you can understand what each of them is. Delicious!!!! -SchaOn

Anything and everything on the menu is excellent. If you're a vegetarian be sure to let them know. (Small grill) -David

My children say that it's way better than Perkins, and that the bacon is so good that they can't handle it. I would agree...awesome food, great atmosphere, and a treasure to NE MPLS. -Bethany
