    Downtown Minneapolis Skyway system
    Jeff P.

    Dave's is great. Downtown Skyway restaurants took a hit, but Dave's has prevailed because they have great food and a really great crew of people that work there. Dave's is packed every day at lunch time . PRO TIP: You can order online and pick up your food in advance. Their breakfast menu is great too ! A fan of their chili, both the beef chili as well as their turkey chili ! The split pea soup is wonderful , as is the broccoli cheddar soup. Some of my favorite items there are the patty melt the grilled chicken sandwich and any of the salad, salads or wraps!

    Totally would recommend this place. Service is really fast and their food is awesome. It's like a fast food restaurant without the fast food ingredients. The burger was pretty good but honestly their wraps are better (would recommend the chipotle burrito). They are very fulfilling and delicious. It would be good to have an option where I could change the kettle chips for french fries (they also have fruit as a side). The place is very affordable too for the options they have.

    A solid place for a breakfast sandwich, wrap or salad. The place is beautifuly decorated for the holidays- it is an absolute joy to look around in. There are lots of tables and the service is quick. They also are great at catering boxes (the salads come with bread and a cookie, and the sandwiches with chips and a cookie, and both with a gummy snack). Prices are fairly low, and the food isn't fancy, but it is good. I ordered a chicken Caesar wrap and was very satisfied.

    Texas toast sandwich
    Jared C.

    Went here on a work trip and was very impressed by the speed and quality of the meal. I got a Texas toast egg cheese and bacon sandwich and my first bite almost made me wanna move here. The restaurant is a decent size with nice fall decorations (when I went). Definitely recommend for anyone who is looking for a quick breakfast near the convention center and or in the skyway!

    GET THE BREAKFAST SANDWICH. This place is nice and organized - it may not look like much from the outside, but there's a system and it works. I came by for breakfast and opted for a breakfast sandwich and some hashbrown. The turkey bacon / egg sandwich was delicious - perfectly toasted, and an egg done just right. The hashbrown was not for me, some parts were overly crispy and others felt underdone, but hashbrowns can be hard to do, especially quickly and when there's a line of orders waiting to be complete. I cannot really speak to the service since I got my food to go, but I would drop by again if I were in town.

    Spicy Tuna Melt with cottage cheese
    Jason K.

    My co-workers and I were all in Downtown Minneapolis for a National Meeting for Target and we decided to go out for lunch together and they asked me where I have never been before. Surprisingly, Dave's Downtown came up. Now a lot of friends said I should try it, but 28 years after working at Target in Minneapolis, I finally tried it. It was pretty busy at about 11, but there was a line out the door when we left at 12. There are three stations to order from, grill, salads and sandwiches and wraps. They have the service down to a science. I ordered a spicy tuna melt with cottage cheese on the side. You can also get French fries or coleslaw. It was ready in about 5 minutes and I got a cup of water. After a tip, it came to about $15, We decided to sit down as a group and the bread wasn't too greasy, just perfectly grilled, almost like they made hundreds of these a day. Instead of a tuna patty, it was tuna salad with some cheese and I got all the accouterments added as well (tomato, pickle, etc.) It was good size and I dumped some Cajun seasoning on top of the cottage cheese, which was a nice scoop and really good. I think it was maybe full fat or maybe more than I am used to, because it was super creamy. I would have preferred a patty of tuna fish and filler, but okay. The sandwich was solid, maybe a tad too much mayonnaise, but it was good. My friend got the turkey club and wasn't a huge fan. Lots of options and I don't need to go back, but I am glad I tried it.

    Chicken tender wrap
    Shamir W.

    Stopped for lunch today and got myself a chicken tender wrap with chips and a pickle. Fast service. Plenty of seating for a skyway spot and the food was fresh and quick. The wrap was made well with the fresh veggies. Could have been wrapped a little tighter but that what forks and hands are for. Overall a quick and easy lunch spot with lots of options and a quick turnaround.

Recently my adult son, adult daughter and I gathered for a weekday breakfast at this trendy place. In my experience the descriptor "trendy" often has a somewhat negative connotation. It can be associated with long lines, high prices, harried staff and mediocre food. IMHO none of those things are associated with The Breakfast Club. We started by sharing an order of Monkey Bread [ (roughly a cinnamon/caramel dough baked in a bundt pan (or at least something round and hollow)], topped with icing and with sections that one may tear off). A bit messy but overall a great start to the day. My son and daughter both ordered more conventional breakfasts and both were very pleased with their choices. I went with the Senor Borracho which I found flavorful and delicious. I love a good Huevos Rancheros and the Borracho is an interesting twist on the classic dish. Service was excellent. The coffee was decent and mugs were kept full. Noise didn't seem problematic. Parking could be an issue at times.
