Best Diners in Woodbury

"The Tiny Diner is a small restaurant in Powderhorn Park with retro-modern décor and a lovely garden patio for outdoor dining that serves all-day breakfasts and locally sourced dishes for lunch and dinner. Using fresh ingredients from local farms and the restaurant’s organic garden, the Tiny Diner is a great spot for breakfast with classic dishes and creative plates such as buttermilk pancakes and breakfast burritos, kale soup and corned beef hash, burgers and fries, and gourmet sandwiches. Also on the menu are three-egg omelets with a variety of fillings, egg sandwiches, house-made granola, breakfast of champions, mac, and cheese, and macro bowls of avocado, roasted root vegetables, broccoli, kale and tofu, kimchi, and wild rice."

"The farmers market near the Tiny Diner restaurant in south Minneapolis is set to return, according to the Farmers Markets of Minneapolis press release."

"Hi-Lo serves a large variety of brunch food, but their signature dish is a Hi-Top. Hi-Tops are donuts topped with a variety of things(from fried chicken to strawberries and cream cheese.) Most everything on the menu is very decadent and heavy, which goes along well with the diner feel of the Minneapolis restaurant. Their cocktails are so creative and unique, which is not at all what you'd expect from a typical diner."

"This 1950s-style diner is Minneapolis’ version of Pop’s from Riverdale. The Hi-Lo Diner is a modern take on typical greasy diner food, like donut sandwiches, avocado benedict, and creative cocktails. It’s near the airport, so it’s an ideal stop on your way in or out of town."

"Founded in 1939, the Band Box Diner is the oldest operating diner in the Elliot Park neighborhood of Minneapolis and has grown from a small eatery serving all-American fare to a chain of 15 restaurants around the city. Modeled after the White Castle restaurants, the restaurant featured a classic interior with an open kitchen, a Formica counter, and fixed stainless-steel stools and was renowned for being the hangout for infamous Minneapolis gangsters in the 1930s and 1940s. Today, the diner still attracts a crowd, but more so for the laid-back, friendly atmosphere and classic diner fare of three-egg omelets, burgers, and fries, hearty sandwiches with various fillings, breakfast combo plates stacked high with eggs, bacon, hash browns, and grits, pancakes, and waffles."

"A post shared by Richard Lafleur (@richard.lafleur) on Mar 10, 2020 at 10:50am PDT. Originally opened in 1939, Band Box Diner has a long and wild history that includes a rapid chain-franchise expansion through the 1950s, failure in the 1960s, and passionate restoration in the 1990s. Safe to say, the restaurant’s come a long way since the days when it was a favorite hangout for card-playing 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."

"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."

"Sitting tidily on Central Ave., this neon-topped diner has boasted 14 stools, one counter, and no bathroom since 1949. It’s the perfect spot to escape and enjoy a solo meal that you’d rather not have to explain to or share with anyone. Battered and craggy chicken-fried steak with two runny eggs and hash browns is that meal."

"I'm a professional truck driver I eaten at many place's across America and Canada this place is a small diner next two skating ring there food I…"

"This Whittier spot is not a classic greasy spoon - nowhere with vegan options can be - but it is an Eat Street icon. Serving breakfast all day and happy hour specials in the evening, the Bad Waitress also emphasizes local and organic ingredients and sustainability in all aspects of the business. Order: the vegan vanilla milkshake (even if you're not vegan)."

"Our New Seasonal Pancake is the Chocolate Stout, just in time for Snowpocalypse 2019!. Come and get it at the Bad Waitress Nicollet!. #Snowday #Mpls #Stout #Pancakes #TheBadwaitress #Diner #Nicollet #Uptown #TwinCitiesEats"

"This throwback to the All-American diner shows its vegan side with whole wheat pancakes, fully loaded hash browns and tofu scrambles in the a.m., and sandwiches (cheeseburgers, patty melts) and salads in the p.m."

"Magnolias Restaurant, a breakfast and brunch and comfort food spot in Payne Phalen, is another budget-friendly go-to, with four stars out of 82 Yelp reviews. Head over to 1081 Payne Ave. to see for yourself. The restaurant serves breakfast all day specializing in comfort-style food."

"One of the most distinctive features of Minneapolis' southwestern ice is Lake Harriet. The impressive lake sets the scene for much of the city's outdoor activity, from sailing and fishing to live music and outdoor movies in the park. From the banks of the lake, visitors have sweeping views of Minneapolis."

"Hidden behind a Bloomington church and school (and a massive parking lot) is pocket-sized Cedarcrest Park. It’s easy to miss, but parents with tots not yet ready to swim will want to keep this one on the radar. The park is home to the city’s only splash pad – and this one has unique rubber tile flooring to keep the little ones safer."

"This beer-mecca chain opened just a few weeks ago in Lowertown, but they’ve got a menu full of fun pub food, and hundreds of beer options if you’re in the mood to imbibe over lunch. We’ve only tried a few things from the menu but can heartily endorse the giant German pretzel with beer cheese ($8, add $2.50 for that cheese) or the sinful Chimay burger ($13). Details: 356 Sibley St., St. Paul; 651-493-3558; worldofbeer.com"

"In south Minneapolis is this totally vegan bakery and they’ve got plenty for you to choose from including many gluten-free options. For owner Shelia Nelson, baking vegan goods started off a just a hobby, but as she kept getting more and more request decided it was finally time to open up a store front. Vegan East has an assortment of tasty treats, but what will impress you the most is just how beautifully decorated the cakes and cupcakes are."

"Okay, so like the No. 1 restaurant on this list, Vegan East isn’t technically a full-fledged restaurant, but upon biting into one of their scrumptious plant-based cupcakes or cheesecakes, we think you’ll agree with us that it deserves a spot on this list. You’ll find the best vegan baked goods and desserts at Vegan East. But, they’ve also been known to serve other tasty treats, such as vegan hot dogs."

"Owner Sheila Nelson's handiwork includes festive cakes (with by-the-slice and special-occasion options) and cupcakes, cinnamon rolls and bars, along with a small array of sandwiches and soups."
