I decided to check out Dave's Downtown after getting a birthday reward through the Toast app, and I'm glad it brought me to this little hidden gem in downtown Minneapolis! I stopped in around 1 p.m., and there was a steady flow of people coming in for lunch. It also seemed like there were quite a few regulars, which is always a good sign! I loved that I could get there through the skyway. Once inside, there's plenty of seating, but you'll want to head toward the back to order. They have separate made-to-order lines for wraps and salads and for burgers. I ordered the mushroom and Swiss burger with a side of coleslaw for around $14, which I thought was pretty reasonable for a made-to-order burger downtown. My food came out surprisingly quickly! The burger was juicy with plenty of mushrooms and melted Swiss, plus fresh lettuce and tomato. The coleslaw was also really good--finely chopped, refreshing, well-seasoned, and not overly vinegary. One of my favorite little touches was the complimentary infused-water station. I tried the watermelon water, and after walking around downtown on a summer day, it was SO refreshing! There's plenty of seating, including booths by the windows where you can sit and people-watch while you eat. Between the quick service, good food, reasonable price, and comfortable seating, Dave's is a great option for a casual downtown lunch. I'd definitely stop in again if I'm in the area! read more

Easy breakfast catering, always consistent, and lot of classic options - especially for vegetarians. The catering comes hot, clean, and labeled clearly. The sausage sandwich hits with the melty cheese, chewy English bread muffin, and balance flavors from the egg and sausage. The fruit was sweet, fresh, and juicy. read more

I stopped in here for lunch while in town for an event. This restaurant is located on the second floor of the skyway so finding it is a bit confusing. They're not so great on vegetarian options, unless you want a veggie burger, thus one star less. Granted there is a salad place downstairs so there are other options in the area. Pretty huge lines around lunch time and not a lot of seating in the restaurant itself but plenty of seating on other levels of the plaza area. It's an order at the end of the line, there is more than one depending on what you want to order, pay and find your seat sort of place which can be a bit confusing the first time you're in. The food came out quickly and the veggie burger and the fries were quite tasty so it worked out for a quick meal. read more

Very good chicken bacon wrap made quickly with a friendly employee at a good price. There was plenty of seating and I was eating my food within minutes of walking through the door! Will definitely be back! read more

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! read more

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. read more

Yummy yummy bfast burrito!!! Friendly folks. I wish I had discovered them before last day

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. read more

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! read more

Went here for breakfast while in town for an event. Got the burrito and french toast and both were good. Not usually a fan of breakfast burritos but this is definitely one of the better ones I've had. We probably looked a little out of place walking in but the staff were extremely friendly and helped us out and kept us from feeling overwhelmed. It was a clean and pleasant place to eat in at. read more

Fantastic food, quick service. Ate lunch and breakfast here. Patty melt was the bomb, chicken tender wrap was amazing and the quick breakfast sandwich was just what the doctor ordered! read more

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. read more

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. read more

Great food and prices. I had lunch there, and it was great. It was a 10 min walk from convention center and worth it.

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. read more

We ate there two times in less than 24 hours: once for lunch and the next day for breakfast! Not only is their food outstanding but the portions are large and priced right. The employees are friendly and make even visitors feel like home. Highly recommend! Wish there was a place like this in my hometown. read more

Great selection of delicious food that is prepared to order and ready to eat in very little time. If you eat at Dave's there is a variety of free drinking water options. Everyone on the staff at Dave's is friendly and eager to make customers happy. read more

Stopped here for lunch. I got the cheeseburger on a pretzel bun and fries. It was excellent! Restaurant is located in the skyway in a corporate office building. There is nearby metered street parking if you are not walking in the skyways or already downtown for something else. Service was efficient and workers were friendly. Plenty of seating available. I will be back! read more

Was in town for a conference, staying at the Hilton. Can use the skywalk to grab lunch as a to go order. Got a wrap and it was pretty good. Gave a ton of fries. I asked for ranch and they forgot it. Got some soup too. It was okay. Place looked very clean. On the second floor of the building. read more

I really like Dave's. It has become my go-to spot for lunch since I returned to working downtown. I'd never heard of it before, but it had years since I worked in the area. They have an app you can use to order ahead, so it's easy to get in and out with your meal. You also earn points with each order that get you discounts as they add up. I've had the grilled cheese sandwich with beef chili; the patty melt; the bacon bourbon burger; and more. The only thing I haven't been impressed with is the taco salad. I found the meat to be bland in flavor. I understand that this is probably to accommodate the Minnesota palate, where they'd probably get complaints about it being "spicy". My orders have been correct every time. The staff are also friendly when I've come in to either order directly there or to pick up the order ahead. I haven't tried their breakfasts yet, though they seem tempting. I'm not big on breakfast when it's not the weekend, which is the only reason I haven't given this a shot. I suspect, though, that the food will be great like all the rest that I've had. read more

Food was delicious and tasted like real food. Amazing service all around. - Highly recommend the Chipotle wrap that has a bit of spice. Love simple places like this! 5/5 read more

Was visiting Minneapolis for a conference and needed a quick breakfast on the run. I'm so glad I found Dave's! The bacon, egg & cheese croissant was so good that I'm now back for another! The croissant is perfect for a breakfast sandwich - more doughy than flaky so holds up for eating on the way to the convention center! The bacon is thick and crisp! And all the flavors come together perfectly! Made fresh so budget a few extra minutes for a delicious breakfast! read more

Service was fast, which is important during lunch time. The atmosphere is great and the restaurant is nicely decorated. The food is very good, especially the sandwiches! Lots to choose from! If you are downtown and wondering in the skyway, definitely check Dave's out!!! read more

My go-to breakfast & lunch spot for the last 5 years! I work downtown & have a very short lunch & a few short break periods through the work day. Dave's is fairly close by & has many choices to offer. For breakfast I love the Monday special - Pancakes. They are fluffy & good. I get regular pancakes but they also offer blueberry (in which they give you A LOT of). I also love their turkey, egg & cheese sandwich on a croissant! So good! For lunch they have a lot to offer. Salad bar - great setup, with protein, fresh veggies & a host of other toppings & dressings. Salad, wraps & soup counter- I love the turkey chili during the colder months. The buffalo wrap is great. Special of the day counter- I love the chicken alfredo option on Wednesday's! I like both the regular & Cajun style. The grill- I like the chicken tenders, grilled cheese & onion rings every from time to time. Dessert- they have really good cookies & rice crispy bars (which are both big). The portions here are large! You get a lot for your money. I can often split my dish into 2 meals. The staff are always friendly and nice. A lot of them have been there awhile & they are good at handling the rushes at prime meal times. They offer complimentary fruit infused water which is nice. I love how they decorate for the different seasons & holidays, especially Christmas!! read more

Good spot. Great service. Mediocre food. But overall, not bad for the cost! Would recommend trying.

I have personally only had the chicken tender wrap with honey mustard on a cheddar jalapeño wrap , but it hasn't let me down! It's a solid wrap and super tasty. The last time I got it, it was swimming in honey mustard, so if you do not like a lot of sauce it is best to specify that! Overall very good. read more

I was looking for a decent breakfast after having checked into the Minneapolis Hilton. I saw the high ratings on Yelp and took a shot. First, it wasn't easy to find the place, since it's in an office building on the 2nd floor, so you can't see it from the street. I managed to find it. You have to place your order with the cashier, pay for your food, then sit and wait for them to bring it to you. I wanted coffee, so they told me it was self serve. I ordered one of the specials, a "country omelette" with multigrain toast. While I waited I hit the coffee station. Okay, call me a Northeastern coffee snob, but all they had were creamers and tiny servings of half and half. What -- no milk?? I found the same was true when I lived in Tennessee, the people have no clue that milk goes with coffee, so when you don't offer it, the coffee doesn't taste right. It wasn't very good coffee to begin with but without milk it was dreadful. Then the omelette came out. I was very disappointed. It came out in a box and it was drowning in sausage gravy. In the omelette were hashbrowns, a little bit of bacon, and some small breakfast sausages. The whole thing was a big squishy mess. It wasn't appetizing at all, and it didn't taste much like eggs, just had an overwhelming flavor of sausage and hashbrowns, which really don't belong in an omelette, they belong on the side. I think the best thing about the whole meal was the toast. read more

Dave's is the fav lunch spot for a workday downtown. Their grill side or wraps and salads are delicious - can't go wrong!

Clean space. Odd that it's holding to mid-pandemic procedures. Omelette quite good. Coffee okay by diner standards.

As a native New Mexican and current resident of Texas, I know a thing or two about breakfast burritos. It is my go-to breakfast, and I seek it out anytime I am in a place new to me. My advance research of downtown Minneapolis suggested Dave's would be worth a try. Was it ever. The entire staff is warm and friendly, their interactions with customers both sincere and authentic. I could tell that many of the diners were regulars. The place was clean, well-lit, and containing photos that showed off the area. After a short wait, my burrito was ready. Eggs, peppers, onions and hash browns stuffed the large tortilla, accompanied by a fresh & tasty salsa. The flavor was excellent, and you could taste the passion of the cook in every bite. I'm sadly only in town for a week, but otherwise I would try everything on the menu. I would wager that every item is as excellent as the burrito I had. Great job guys: keep up the amazing work. read more

We were visiting downtown Minneapolis at lunchtime. Our son, who occasionally goes into work at a building in downtown Minneapolis, recommended Dave's Downtown. We had some difficulty finding it - it was well worth the trouble. The workers were all so nice! We clearly looked confused as we walked in and were greeted by a lovely young man who explained where to go and order and where to pay. The wrap maker was also a very nice man! The wrap was so fresh and tasty! My husband's salad was huge and delicious! The cookies were great! The place was quite busy but didn't seem crowded or harried. Clearly, it is a local favorite but we will tell you it is worth the effort from tourists to find it! read more

I realize that i just gave a review, but how many restaurants know you well enough to know that you only came in for bacon? LOL I'm on the ketogenic diet and I often come in for a full order of bacon and the cooks know me by my need for bacon or a side of olive oil with my eggs and bacon breakfast. LOL So when I came in, I was asked, "You here for a side of bacon?" Made me laugh out loud. Love going places where people are familiar with you and recognize you. read more

Buffalo chicken wrap with the ranch on the side, pickle and chips. This order never fails me! So yummy, the prices do seem to be rising so I don't go as often but wow do I love this place! read more

This is a good, quick place right in the skyway to grab lunch for less than $10. The place was packed, but it didn't take long to get our food. There are separate lines for burgers, sandwiches, and salads. They also had a variety of infused waters to enjoy with your meal for no charge, which was cool. We didn't have any trouble finding a table - all of the tables were full, but there always seemed to be someone leaving and thus making room for the people who had just finished paying, so we were able to find a spot pretty easily. It was very noisy, however, just with how crowded the restaurant was. read more

This place was packed during lunch! It's boisterous and crowded, don't expect any tables or seating inside the store. There's several wrap, sandwiches, soups, salads, and grill lines all over the store. It's a bit chaotic to order and pay for your food. I ordered a pesto chicken wrap but since it was so loud I think the server misheard my order and I ended up with a chicken, bacon dried tomato wrap with roma tomatoes, shredded lettuce, cheddar cheese, and thousand island sauce. It came with a pickle and your choice of fruit or chips. The wrap was very good, a generous amount of food in the wrap but the cup of fruit was really small and my lunch totaled to $9. I didn't want to go back inside to clarify my order because it was just way too busy. I wish I got the burger combo instead because it was a lot more food for the same price! read more

Awesome breakfast at this place inside an office building. Great service and quick yummy food

If you're from the south this is not the breakfast place for you. No grits. Requested onions and cheese with hashbrown. Onion were just placed on top not cooked with the hashbrown, cheese placed inside eggs after cooked - not melted well. Definitely not 4 star place to visit. This is inside a business complex so just right for employees who come here every day. read more
