    Bacon and cheese omelette
    Sue S.

    This is a nice little local diner type breakfast joint, and it certainly did the job. No frills, not fancy, but absolutely a decent breakfast. That said, I didn't feel like it was anything spectacular either. Still, if you want a good home cooked breakfast, this will do just fine. I ordered the bacon and cheese omelet, which is what I call a "fold over omelet" -- as in it's a layer of egg that is filled and then folded over on itself. The omelets here are huge, much bigger than your average omelet. It was stuffed full of lots of fillings, and seemed like a very generous serving. I saw some of the other omelets that seemed absolutely massive because they had more fillings. Our friends ordered one and split it, and it was plenty of food. My husband got biscuits and gravy, which seemed decent. It did not come with eggs (something to know). I think the gravy may have been from a mix but it was pretty flavorful, judging from the bite or two I grabbed. My toast was a bit burnt and they only give you one thing of jelly, which seemed a bit stingy. But overall, totally decent breakfast at an absolutely reasonable price. A nice little spot for a quick bite if you are in town.

    Stopped in today while we were out and about and this is our first time ever coming to this diner. It is a small hometown diner with a very comfy atmosphere. From the moment I walked in the door I felt very welcome by the staff and also the other customers. Everyone was very friendly and smiled. The waitress was kind and pleasant and our food was wonderful :) We will def stop again anytime we are in the area. Reminds me of a place that should be on diners drive in's and dives - a nice cozy place with wonderful food that you wouldn't expect when just driving past.

    Found a gem of a breakfast spot today in the rural Minnesota whistle stop of Osakis (population 1,800). We rode our bicycles the 10 miles on the Rails-to-Trails bike path from Alexandria to Osakis and stumbled on AJ's Restaurant for breakfast before riding another 10 miles back to Alex. Jeannie, the owner of the restaurant, did a great job making us feel welcome while taking our orders and serving our meals. After sharing a warm caramel roll right out of the oven, we ordered three different 3-egg omelettes. They were all perfectly cooked and filled with delicious veggies and meats. AJ's surpassed our expectations with great food, great service and a down-home small-town hospitality. Gotta throw AJ's the fin.

    This is in the cutest, vintage old building off the main street running through downtown…read moreAlexandria. You can park in the lot in the back or park on the street. It's a little hard to spot because the sign doesn't stand out and it's tucked between buildings. You order at the counter and they will bring your food to you. I love the idea the owner has about bringing fresh locally farmed ingredients to the menu. The menu is simple and it was perfect for lunch. We tried the tomato basil soup, smoked turkey sandwich and chicken salad sandwich. Everything tasted so good! Just a heads up, they aren't huge sandwiches but it was plenty for me.

    Let's describe the restaurant - a french restaurant "out of place" in Alexandria Minnesota. So they…read moreserve sandwiches at lunch and dinner as a necessary way to provide interest in the restaurant. But - they have a very interesting french style dinner menu as well. Intriguing. We were traveling and our anniversary was while we were in Alexandria. We wanted something special, and a french dinner seemed cool. But wait. They had a "chef's table" as well. Not an everyday thing, and not inexpensive, but - a chef's table in Alexandria Minnesota? We were totally there. A five course meal, wines accompanying, and it was totally delightful. We often blog our travels, and we wrote pages about this meal. Kudos to Matthew and Amber!
