Great little spot right across the street from the lake! So fresh and so yummy! Try the chimichuri on everything!! Will definitely be back! read more

Brim - Spring chicken bowl with chimichurri! So delicious! - New American Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

It was amazing and delicious when I came a couple of months ago. Now? They served the butts of the bread with the pesto. They charged $4 for ONE piece of bacon. And they're bread was different. Not a good different. It's not even focaccia. It's like the bread I get at Aldi. Dry and tasteless. Also, ordered a poached egg - got scrambled. Seriously?! I would have been better off to cook for myself. Won't be back. Too expensive for so much disappointment. read more

I don't need to eat gluten-free but came with a friend who is, and I was so impressed with the focaccia bread and pesto! If you didn't know the whole restaurant was GF you would never think this dish was! read more

I really really wanted to love this place because the concept is great and it's within walking distance of my place, but they either need to drop the prices or up the quantity, quality and service. For $15, the sticky rice bowl was very small - as a comparison, when I get a $9-10 bowl at the Wedge, I usually eat 1/2 or less and am quite satisfied. However, the bowl at Brim left me hungry after I ate the whole thing AND the cherry chocolate cookie. Perhaps it's because i got it to go? In addition, it came with the wrong sauce and was missing the cilantro micro greens - When I asked the owner about it, she agreed the sauce was incorrect but didn't offer to do anything about it, then said their greens order didn't come in so there should have been a "spring of cilantro" on it instead. Again, she didn't offer to correct the fact that I didn't even get the sad little sprig. Finally, the poached egg was rubbery, there was no spice at all, and everything came at room temperature - overall, very disappointing on a chilly fall day! Again, comparing to the Wedge's piping hot, truly filled to the brim, flavorful bowls, this experience really fell short. For now, I'll keep riding my bike further afield (even Sotarol gives way more bang for your buck and they're a chain) to get my bowl cravings addressed unless I hear things have changed here. read more

The first thing you'll notice is the beautiful design of the place to match its location. They have fast casual bowls and baked goods. You can try a suggested bowl or build your own from a variety grains, veggies, proteins, and sauces. Between the food and the serving dishes, it feels homemade in the best way. My smokey pulled beef was tasty and filling while feeling light and healthy. Great coffe, beer, and wine selection. I'm excited to go back and try more dishes! read more

Brim is located in a prime location in uptown across the lakes, but in an area where parking (while always a little challenging to find in uptown, free or not) is still abundant enough that you don't have to pay a lot or walk blocks to get to. The whole restaurant / cafe gives me total California / west coast vibes - and I love it!! While the food seems a bit overpriced to me, my understanding is that everything is very fresh and sourced well, and all extremely healthy and nutritious to boot. Everything is counter service, and they specialize in gluten free baked goods and focaccia. The GF almond cherry cookie doesn't look very appetizing but was absolutely delicious! We tried a couple of their salads and bowls - our favorite was the chimichurri beef bowl. We also got the kimchi rice bowl and salmon salad. The sauces are AMAZING and really elevated the dishes, and the kimchi was some of the best I had.These dishes left us feeling full but not bloated and we had plenty still leftover. I will say how we if you come here for brunch or just morning drinks, they don't appear to make espresso / coffee drinks - just cold brew and smoothies and bottled drinks from the case. read more

Minneapolis needed a spot like this! Healthy bowls in a great atmosphere. I built my own bowl with the sticky rice, chicken, brussel sprouts, and half an avocado. I topped it with the lemongrass coconut dressing which was out of this world! The brussel sprouts were also delicious. My husband had the Smoky Pulled Beef and Chipotle bowl which he loved. They even offer kid size bowls for a great price. We plan to frequent here often! So excited to have an option like this to add to our rotation! read more

After the holidays and back to eating healthy. BRIM is great and love the focus on deliciously nutritious, made from scratch on site, organic GF and low or no refined sugars in their menu items. The combined flavors of the veggies, proteins and grains with the amazing dipping / side sauces are a delight. Date cake is unbelievable. Friendly servers and vibe with a knock out view of what was formerly called Lake Calhoun - now Bde Maka Ska. Next time we go, we're trying their soups and BRIM paleo bread. read more

See all

Love the look and idea of this restaurant. Disappointed in price and amount of food. When fixing my bowl, they were out of chicken, she said she'd bring more out to me when it was done being cooked in the back, however this never happened. Paid 20$ for a rice bowl with veggies. Bummer. read more

I stopped in for a bite after noticing the nice space on a walk. I was just saying how I am am really in the mood for some great vegetables -- that is certainly what I got. I've never seen some of the dishes options like mashed purple potatoes or cauliflower goat cheese gratin. The other parts of the bowl I ordered were all just as good. If I wasn't kist visiting Minneapolis, I would be coming back regularly. read more

I enjoyed a wonderful lunch here yesterday. I tried the Linda bowl that was filled with roasted vegetables, greens and wild rice, topped with a piece of roasted salmon and a side of lemon dill sauce. The quality of the food here is evident in the flavorful, organic vegetables. The ambiance is bright and welcoming. If you haven't discovered this gem, I recommend you put it on your list. read more

My new favorite place. This is so delicious and really feels healthy. The lemongrass chicken curry is something I will definitely get again. Perfect portion, delicious chicken, the curry sauce in the rice is a beautiful combo of sweet and savory and the veggies are abundant and perfectly done. Amazing sweet potatoes too. I can't say enough good things about this meal but will have to try something new the next time I stop by. read more

I was at an event that had Brim catered-in and had the most delicious chicken, quinoa and sweet potato bowl with apple cider dressing! Catering for hundreds of people isn't easy, but I was very impressed. And I love the environmental conscientious packaging, too. I definitely plan to visit Brim and have their food brought in for one of my own events in the future. read more

How can food be so good and so healthy at the same time? Such a fun spot with such healthy food.... I don't drink coffee and just go for the food which is the best in Uptown! read more

I'm on the fence between 3 and 4 stars, but the goat cheese cauliflower pushed me over the edge. The restaurant was pretty empty when I picked up takeout. All the components are tasty, but pre-fab. $14 seems insanely overpriced for a bowl of rice, veggies, and protein. Also not sure why they don't offer tofu (only baked tempeh.) Either their food should be more delicious or less expensive. Why are basic veggies so unaffordable (while mediocre slaughtered/factory farmed animal meat is dirt cheap)? Our planet would be less of a disaster if brussel sprouts didn't cost more than a hamburger. read more

The menu has changed and differs from the one online, and they no longer have tempeh. The woman behind the counter was very friendly and helped make a special option for me without meat -- very tasty and will be returning! read more

I had Brim's Berry Lemonade at the Minnesota State Fair and it was delicious! I enjoyed that it was sweet without being too much and had a great balance of ice to drink. Perfect for a hot day at the fair! read more

I love this place! Such a great location overlooking the lake. I've tried smoothies, sandwiches, and entree bowls and all are delicious! Did I mention they are a dedicated gluten free facility? Also many items can be made vegan or vegetarian safe. read more

We were so excited to find a gluten-free dairy free menu! Everything was delicious! We had the salmon bowl, the chimichurri and pesto chicken and they were all amazing! We'll definitely be back! read more

Love, love, LOVE Brim!!!! Great wine, great food great prices AND the most wonderful service!!! I really can't recommend this beautiful little gem enough. I take a dance class at Lake Calhoun and we always come here afterwards and have the most joyous time. And if you're gluten-free or have any dietary restrictions, this establishment will happily accommodate! Five stars all around!! read more

Place is amazing. Great ambience and even better food. Really like the wine selection. The Piazza Grande Rose was my favorite.

Never been to Brim. Riding around lake formerly known as Calhoun we stopped in for coffee and cookie. I thought Brim meant coffee shop but not much on coffee selection so just purchased 2 very expensive cookies 9 BUCKS. Hmmm it was one challenging cookie to eat.. Should have served cookie in a paper cone because it was the most crumbly cookie I have ever attempted to eat (60% in your mouth and 40% everywhere else. My guess is someone is learning about gluten free baking technique. Looked like a fresh food restaurant so maybe the food is better. read more

My favorite fast-casual in the Twin Cities! Love all their vegetarian options - especially the vegan soup and avocado/veggie sandwich. Great customer service as well! read more

I was really excited to try this place since they have so many healthy options. I was slightly disappointed since the food was somewhat bland and a bit overpriced. It just didn't feel worth the money, and healthy food can be delicious but this sort of missed the mark. They do have a paleo bread that I thoroughly enjoyed and would recommend to someone looking for a paleo option. read more

Stopped by Brim after walk around lake, very bright and cheerful spot for healthy and delicious lunch, Luv the atmosphere and attention to detail, will definitely be back. read more

Delicious and healthy bowls with a variety of super-flavorful and fresh options for protein, sides and dressings. Awesome view of Bde Maka Ska while you eat. Beautiful interior design. I'll be back often. read more

Brim - Brim space - New American Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

I have to say I was skeptical of this place due to negative reviews I saw on here, but with the limited healthy restaurants offered in Minneapolis I knew it was only a matter of time that I tried it. Although it is Ultra-milennial the food is quite delicious. I got the market chicken bowl with the wild rice base and was pretty blown away. It was a tad expensive which will limit my frequency of dining here but I will definitely go back. With tip my bowl was just over $17 and if that was closer to 12 I'd be here much more frequently. Also, I've noticed that people have mentioned the portion sizes, which I find ridiculous. I'm not a small guy and I am uncomfortably full after eating here. I thought about getting a side but thought I'd try just the bowl first and I'm very glad I didn't overindulge myself. read more

HI , I ate their food yesterday ,had a take out......I had a bowl of supposedly curry chicken.....for 16 bucks a "big" bowl.....basically it was about a 3/4 cup of rice with a couple three slices of sweet potatoes , 3, 4 ounces of chicken two pieces of broccoli...etc....did not taste any thing like curry sort of mayo sauce. This dish was more a side dish garnished with etc.....The sad part was I ate it and was stilll hungry out in the middle of a park not worth it read more

Just ordered "sliders" from here for $7 and received 1 2 inch sandwich. Not sure where the s comes from in sliders. Last time I'll order from here. read more

Enjoy your zen because no one knows Brim. View the lake. Eat the market chicken salad. Pay for parking, but don't stress because Brim has competitive pricing. read more

Food was good but beware of unlabeled allergens. The dish I got did not label the dressing had cashews. Almost ended up in the ER! Staff did nothing to compensate us. When I told them I was allergic all they said was I hope you're ok. Disappointing experience. read more

Super cute farm to table style eatery. They have so many healthy options to choose from. I got the heritage bowl and it was delicious. Each dish is pricey, but worth it for the freshness of ingredients you get! read more

So good! Healthy, tasty. Fresh ingredients. Accessible atmosphere. Good value. And they keep the menu fresh. Have been here a dozen times--will continue coming back. The beef is always good, chicken is never dry. Love how the flavors come together. read more

We stumbled across this restaurant while in the Uptown area. What a gem!! The food was amazing delicious and filling. The flavor mixture was perfect in both my bowl and the bowl my husband chose. I have never had all those flavors in one sitting and loved every single bite. The prices were very fair. The ambiance is perfect, especially at sunset near the lake. I can't wait to come back again and again! read more

Being gluten free and desiring organic, made from scratch selections- BRIM is a perfect choice. Love the healthy bowls and their desserts. I tend to customize my bowls with a combo of wild rice, purple potatoes and chicken. Since the opening they have worked out the early kinks and the flavors continue to bring me back. Love the setting, the sunny bright space and the sweet staff. Price meets value on the organic offerings. read more

Great place. Met up with extended family. Sat around, enjoyed the atmosphere, had a couple beers and fantastic food. Will definitely meet up at Brim again!! read more

$16 for a salad bowl with meat in it. I was in Washington DC last weekend and the same thing goes for $10. How is that possible? Over 50% too expensive. Food had also sat out and was super dry. read more

Delicious healthy high quality food with a lot of options! Very nice ambiance and staff. A bit pricey but would come again for the high quality! read more

Me and my friends wanted to try a new place and so we stumble on this place. I tried their sticky rice bowl which was amazing. The portions are look small but are very filling in my opinion. The location is prime! Would definitely recommend it to everyone! read more

Such an inviting and beautiful space! I've already been a number of times since they've recently opened. It's nice to be able to create your own dishes with the number of options that are available each day. The pulled beef is a favorite, there's such a great spice to it. You can't go wrong with the veggies either. Each time I've gone, I've added different vegetables and all of them have been delicious. I can't wait to try out their snack boards with some wine....sounds like the perfect way to spend a happy hour. read more
