Best Diners in Maple Grove

"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."

"This shiny vintage diner is taking online orders for pick up. Known for Hi-Tops, a doughnut sort of sweet/savory situation filled with decadence, there are also breakfast classics available. Try a potato chip fritatta or simple eggs your-way."

"This slip of a little white-and-red diner near the edge of downtown Minneapolis was nearly lost a few years ago, before fans rallied to save the business. It’s hard to imagine a life without this no-frills diner’s classic breakfasts and legendary burgers. Band Box was built in 1939 and was supposedly once a drop-off site for notorious gangsters."

"The Band Box is the oldest operating diner in Minneapolis, the OG of a local chain that began in 1939. (The other outlets have all disappeared.) And yet you may have missed it all this time: The Band Box abides in a part of downtown that doesn’t see a ton of action. Which suits this place just great."

"The oldest operating diner in the state of Minnesota, the Band Box was built in the 1930s. There were once 15 Band Boxes in the Twin Cities, but now the practically hidden downtown/Elliot Park location is the last standing. Order: one of the famous burgers."

"You might recognize this dining car from movies such as The Mighty Ducks or Jingle All the Way, but people in Saint Paul have been coming to this 24-hour diner every day since 1939. In addition to the classic downtown location, there's also one further down West 7th. Stop in any time (literally, any time) for over-easy egg perfection and fresh flapjacks—it's sure to hit the spot."

"A landmark diner and St. Paul mainstay, Mickey's Dining Car serves a full menu of traditional comforts in a vintage train car, open 24/7. Phone: +1 651-222-5633"

"There are just 14 stools inside this tiny breakfast and lunch spot on Northeast’s Central Avenue. Built in 1949, the blinking bulbs on the distinctive red, yellow, and turquoise sign rightly suggest eating here. Come for the massive pancake for just $1.50, or the Friday-night fish fry—the only night the Ideal serves dinner."

"The Menu brought me back to old school soda fountain foods, Biscuits N Gravy. Bomb number #12, I can almost guarantee you will come back after eating ANY OF..."

"An icon of Northeast, this tiny diner serves all the classics including eggs that are made just right and a slice of home made pie."

"In addition to some serious pancakes, they also serve up tasty Cajun breakfasts and sweet potato tots. Great for the family and big groups, but be advised that it’s a popular choice on the weekend."

"Nighthawks is one of the newest and hippest restaurants in Minneapolis. They have become incredibly well known for their post-modern rendition of America’s favorite diner foods. Their menu offers five different kinds of hot dogs and other delicious options such as French Dip or Frito Pie."

"You’ll find hipster vibes at Modern Times Café that are similar to those in the indie neighborhoods of Brooklyn, New York—it is, as postcards around the dining room declare, ‘Where the Punks Take Their Parents’. Families and university students alike will love the eclectic decor, from the rotating selection of local art to the plants speckling the colorful, striped tables, and the affordable food served in massive quantities. Go for the Southside hash, a full order of hash browns topped with organic onions, mushrooms, green peppers, roasted jalapeños, chorizo, cheese, eggs and sour cream, or the Tuscan Tough Guy, made of pork or chorizo scrambled with eggs, jalapeños, organic corn, cream cheese and poblano sour cream."

"A wide selection of burgers (tempeh patties, with cashew spread topping), fried/scrambled tofu breakfast sandwiches and bowls, brown rice-based bowls and wraps, doughnuts (served Monday, Wednesday and Friday) and a kids' menu. Check out the selection of housemade hot sauces."

"These folks have been rocking fast-casual and flavorful since they moved from the Burnsville Center to Nicollet Ave not too long ago. The jerk pork is tender and juicy, and the spicy beef patty (the Jamaican version of an empanada or pierogi) is a thing of beauty. Don’t fear some of the hotter homemade sauces because, while they do deliver on the heat, they don’t sacrifice on flavor."

"During the unrest in the wake of George Floyd’s killing, this restaurant became a touchstone for the city. It turned from serving food, to acting as a collection point for neighbors in needs. While it has long since returned to serving its incredible jerk chicken and coconut rice, the eatery remains an example of its one love philosophy."

"Pimento brings the vibrant tastes of Kingston, Jamaica, to Eat Street Minneapolis. It’s not just me who thinks this place is great either. Pimento’s authentic Jamaican street food won on the Food Network’s reality show, Food Court Wars."

"Elegant and trendy might describe this restaurant, but the dishes they serve here are totally unpretentious and globally-inspired. Serving up seasonal small plates, Fig + Farro is quickly becoming known as one of the best vegan restaurants in Minneapolis for their rotating international cuisine and outstanding vegan brunch."

"A post shared by RIVA (@rivash4) on Jan 18, 2020 at 11:13pm PST. Situated inside Calhoun Square, fig + farro serves vegan food with bold global flavors, along with craft cocktails. The space is trendy and elegant and exudes a chill vibe."

"This vegan eatery inside Calhoun Square has a whole play house area for kids to explore while adults can sip a glass of biodynamic wine. Order a little hummus and some cruelty-free comfort food and everyone is happy."

"Tasty sandwiches and nutrient-packed salads are standard here at Seed Cafe, a local family-owned vegan joint. Head here to delight your sense and tantalise your taste bud with the array of sweet and savoury vegan dishes they’ve got on the menu. The light-filled restaurant feels so cosy that you’ll certainly stay for seconds."

"This neighborhood vegan cafe is hibernating for the winter but continues to offer order-ahead a la carte pantry and freezer items as well as a weekly meal kit option. All meal kits, whether the two to three person meals or four to six option, include an appetizer, main course, and dessert."

"Seeds cafe is all about doing good for both you and the environment. They believe fueling you with plants will bring positivity to both your body and the earth. Delicious food, friendly service, excellent service, unique menu, and child friendly environment."

"Have gone thru several piss poor Chinese resteraunts, all.americanized to death, until I went to Hunan....they remember some of us still like food that..."

"We ordered without a menu so they nailed us for maximum priced entrees. Order from the menu or ask them for combination choices..."

"Walkers, joggers, and inline skaters—rollerblading was born here—share a path, but cyclists have their own trails around Cedar Lake, Lake of the Isles, Lake Calhoun, and Lake Harriet."

"One of the most popular places in the city to walk, run, bike, and relax, Bde Maka Ska (formerly called Lake Calhoun), is a great spot to get moving or sit back and people watch."

"LakeWest 42nd St and West Lake Harriet Parkway, Minneapolis, MN 55409MoreLess Info. Minneapolis is home to Lake Harriet, which covers almost 350 acres, plus a 67-acre coastal region. The lake features hiking trails, bike paths and two beaches."
