Best Breakfast and Brunch Places in Maple Grove

"This Nordeast spot winks at the Minikahda crowd with a hot-pink patio devoted to mini golf. But the 8½-hole course is no joke. If you’re going to play a round with a cocktail in hand, might we suggest the Social Climbing (Betty Danger’s signature Bootleg)?"

"Or how about finish your meal with a full size Ferris Wheel ride?. Only at Betty Danger’s!. This is one of the craziest places in the Twin Cities, and an awesome bet if you’re looking for one of the most unique restaurant experiences anywhere."

"Betty Danger's energetic patio atmosphere gives guests the opportunity to ride a Ferris wheel or play mini golf, while enjoying a variety of food and drink options."

Over the years, this tiny Dinkytown spot has built a loyal, almost cult like following who do their best to squeeze into one of the 14 coveted stools as frequently as possible. If Al’s is open, there’s usually a line out the door, and a crowd inside packed shoulder-to-shoulder almost directly behind the few lucky souls enjoying their meals at the counter."

"DinkytownWell, if you’ve been to Al’s, you understand why social distancing wouldn’t work at this 10-foot-wide, 14-seat retro diner. But they’re still open mornings and midday for to-go made-from-scratch breakfast like scrambles, omelets, waffles, and our personal favorite- blueberry pancakes. In addition, you can buy quarts of Al’s special pancake batter for just 6 bucks if you’re looking to cook at home."

"There are some things that you only do once a year, like renew your Amazon Prime subscription or watch A Christmas Story. The same can be said about going to Kado No Mise for the omakase experience, which costs about $200 and is the best sushi meal in Minnesota. All of the fish is top quality, the wasabi is grated in front of you, and there’s a tiny brush for you to paint on their homemade soy sauce."

A modern restaurant with an elegant setting, Kado No Mise offers traditional Japanese dishes such as sushi, maki, tempura, sashimi, nigiri, and more. The menu also includes a variety of handcrafted cocktails and sakes that goes well with the dishes."

"Kado no Mise, translating to “Corner Restaurant,” serves Edomae sushi and simple, delicate Japanese fare, true to the tastes and form that Chef Furukawa learned when he first started cooking professionally in his hometown of Tokyo. Wednesday - Sunday | 6pm+. Explore Kado no Mise"

"After a long morning of working with the Bitesquad team we needed to refuel. Red Cow hit the spot. Food and service was amazing as expected."

"A post shared by City South Magazine (@citysouthmagazine) on Jan 24, 2020 at 1:54pm PST. A family-friendly eatery where you can breathe in fresh oxygen, thanks to its beautiful garden patio. Tiny Diner is one of the best places for families to eat in Minneapolis."

"When we heard a brewery was going into the first floor of the new high-rise condo developments near Loring Park, we weren’t sure what to think. When we visited the first time, and took one look at the long list Belgian Witbiers, strongs, and sours, we knew Lakes and Legends was going to be a force to be reckoned with in the Minneapolis brewery scene. Local's Tip: One of the few breweries that's dog friendly inside, too."

"Lakes & Legends makes farm-to-table beer from high-end ingredients that often spotlight it’s farming partners. Pooch wants some grub?. Food trucks Burrito Mercado, Gastropub, and Northbound Smoke House are ready to cater to your dog’s discerning palate."

"LynLake Brewery is kind of that brewery we always forget is there. Not because it isn’t popular. On the contrary, this big space can find itself absolutely packed with Uptown youngin’s and hipsters ready to party."

"Broken Clock is one of the few member-owned breweries in the Twin Cities. With over 900 member owners, Broken Clock continues growing from its small startup roots into a brewery with a constantly rotating tap of at least a dozen beers at any given time. So grab a pint and become a shareholder!"

"As a community-owned and operated co-op, Broken Clock’s pack loves empowering people and fostering community collabs (pup yeah). There’s good beer, humans and, awesome merch for pups. This is a prime spot for catching a game, and popular with cyclists."

"What began as a delicious food truck has now become a Northeast Minneapolis favorite. Through the small but charming space, Anchor Fish and Chips consistently serves up perfectly fried fish… and chips. As in, the best fish and chips in the city, at least according to our best seafood in Minneapolis awards."

"A massive wild Alaskan cod fillet is served over hand-cut chips inside this kickback neighborhood pub. Add a pint of Guinness for a quintessentially Irish meal without the plane ticket."

"When Red Rabbit hopped the river to open a second location on Grand Avenue, they brought their fantastic Italian pastas with them. Pair your linguine with a slice of the wood-fired pizza for the full taste experience."
