Stopped by for a lovely Sunday meal. We got there early so…read moreit was mostly empty. Our server Jenny walked right up and got us started. I am not sure who she knew from one look that it was our first time, but she was spot on. She walked us through the menu and made sure we knew EVERYTHING could be made the way we liked. I was exited they had Just Egg in the menu and got the chicken fried steak, It was incredible. I loved every bite. The 90's mucus made a great vibe. Lots of drink options.

Our server, Jamie, was super friendly and attentive, as was the host. Great service all-around, and definitely a staff trained to provide family-friendly service. My date said that the coffee was good but that the Honey Lavender latte was very flavor-forward. The food was heavenly ; we got the Farm Boy and the Blueberry Cream Pancakes. The Breakfast Club isn't a place that relies on its branding to do all the heavy lifting. Highly recommend, whether you're looking for an adult brunch or family outing!

Parking was ample and the easy…read more Walk in and grab a menu and order at counter Left-about 5 booths Right- about 10 counter tables Farther right- huge area for families and groups Dessert counter with delicious and looked homemade cinnamon rolls, fruit tarts, scones. Looked so good!! Fresh orange juice is a huge bonus. What I am used to in Mexico and love!! Ordered simple egg, 2 meats and hash browns. Eggs looked fresh and tasted good. Bacon was thick but next time will ask for a bit crunchy. Hashbrowns were browned crispy. I had pancakes added for a small price as pancakes and french toast is a specialty they are known for. Light and tasty and they have "MN maple" which was delicious. I will come back again and try a Mexican breakfast burrito. I feel like that is going to be my go to. Counter service was excellent. Ambiance is local neighborhood vibe.

Dropped into this mom and pop while I was in the area bourbon hunting…read more It appears to be a neighborhood go to. Lots of elderly friend brunches and moms with young kids. The ambiance has character Braved the texmex on the menu and ordered a barbacoa burrito. Just didn't want the pancakes omelette or French toast I think most people review on. In looking around burgers are very popular as well Back to my burrito. It's a big ass burrito. The ingredients work although it's nothing traditional about it.barbacoa is really good. Seasoned well, the amalgamation of beef, black beans , radachio, cheese, what I think is basmati rice and bell pepper works It's served with a sour cream and a creamy hot sauce on the side...I was also offered ketchup (OMG Minnesota eww) I turned it down.

Long before we moved to the Twin Cities, I saw a segment about Al's on the Food Network. I don't…read moreknow why but it really stuck with me over the years. Being a breakfast aficionado, I have no idea why it took me so long to get to Al's. My husband, who is out of the house a lot more than me, has been there several times. He has been trying to get me to go there for months. And finally we made it in February. At the time, with all the political things going on in Minneapolis, Yelp actually told me I could not write a review at the time. So I am glad now that I can come back and leave this five-star for them. So as many have said, Al's is about as old school diner as you can get. One line of stools, 14 seats or something like that. Just like Matt's Bar, there's an impossibly tiny grill and the chef makes the most amazing things on it! My husband adores the wally blues pancakes. I do think they are super tasty. They have nuts and berries and are just about the most tasty pancake you've ever had. Get one to share even if you order something else. He got the corned beef hash, which looked like basically everything you would ever want that dish to be. I got the classic benedict (the dish by which I judge all breakfast places). It was SO GOOD. It's an english muffin and a big thick slice of ham, plus the perfectly poached eggs. But the real true thing that makes this dish just baller is the generous helping of hollandaise sauce. Thick and luscious and seriously the most lemony hollandaise I have ever ever tasted. It was so good. I tried to be a lady but eventually was just sticking my finger in the leftover sauce and licking it like a toddler. I would have seriously licked the plate. The guy behind the counter smiled and said, "Yeah, our hollandaise sauce will ruin you." And he was right. Can't wait to go back for another helping. Cash only, no bathroom, street parking. Come prepared. We happened to go close to the 1 p.m. closing time and didn't have to wait at all. Pro tip.

Went right at open, 6am, and the place (10 seats) was already mostly full. It's about as old-timey diner as you can get. Wood paneling, cash only, watching the line cooks work, and a-la-carte menu. Everyone was friendly and I love the inclusive, anti-ice vibe. Unfortunately that's kind of where the highlights end and mediocrity begins. I would describe everything as "fine" but that may be partially due to my pancake preferences. They were definitely the dense and, well, slightly gummy pancakes I don't really like. That's opposite the crispy, lacy ones at Al's and fluffy buttermilk ones at Our Kitchen. Not to mention it's like $3/oz for actual maple syrup. My partner got an egg, sausage, toast meal and it is what says on the tin. I think it's good, and I love the community support from management, but definitely riding the "institutional" status for business. I think I'd prefer Al's if in the area and Our Kitchen if South.

We came in on a Sunday....Mother's Day no less, and thanks to their waitlist, we got in and out…read morequickly. We were coming from an appointment in Edina and assumed we'd be waiting for a while, but that wasn't the case at all. We walked in, I ran to the restroom, and they were already ready for us. The Edina location does feel a bit tight, I'm not sure why, but I would definitely recommend using the waitlist during peak times or you'll likely be waiting (there are several benches available to hang out on if you are waiting). The sourdough French toast is always my go-to, especially paired with their bacon. I should have gone with the short stack this time. That bacon is so good. I'm not sure were they get it from, but I'm a fan. Our food came out really fast. We were in and out in about 35 minutes. Typically, OPH is a five star experience, and based on the food alone, it absolutely still is. For me, the service fell a bit short this time. Both our server and others seemed a little off. For example, as we were leaving, I paused to let a server finish dropping off food at a nearby table. It was taking a bit, so I carefully moved past, which is exactly what I was trying to avoid. She turned and almost ran right into me, and the look I got in return just felt off. That said, it was Mother's Day, so giving some grace. Just not quite the usual experience.

The restaurant is quite large and super cute. We were greeted and seated right away. The walls have fun little things written in chalk and it is very bright and cheery inside. We received the menu and waited a bit before our order was taken. We did not need to wait long for our food to arrive. My daughter and I ordered the same thing with slight variations--Two Eggs, Potatoes, and Toast. I chose the Hen Potatoes which were amazing! Tender on the inside and slightly crisp on the outside--not greasy at all. My daughter had the hash browns, which were just as good--not greasy, but perfectly crisp and flavorful. The seven grain toast and jam were great and our scrambled eggs were cooked just how we like. My daughter also ordered a fruit cup, which was filled with a bigger variety of fruit than she expected and she loved it. I ordered a side of bacon and it was delicious. While the food wowed us, our service was just okay. She was polite enough, but did not check on us until we were well into our meal. Thankfully, we didn't need anything. Our check and my payment were dealt with promptly, which we appreciated. We also ordered a caramel roll to go and were very glad we did. Super tasty and not overly sweet. If you are in the area, stop in. You will not regret it. The prices are higher, but it is worth every penny. We will definitely be returning when we are in the area.

Our server was very nice and outgoing, selling us on an upgrade we certainly didn't need but chose anyways. We ordered the eggnog latte, a hot chocolate, griddle cakes, and strawberry pancakes. Everything was delicious, and perfect if you have a sweet tooth! The pancakes were much smaller than I remembered, but it didn't matter either way because we couldn't finish our meals in the first place. They tasted just as decadent as I remembered though! Things are priced very reasonably, given the amount of food you get and quality. My only somewhat negative note is the wait time. We still had about a 40 minute wait, but I would highly recommend signing up for the wait list on the website! Still, it's all worth the wait!

This is a pretty busy location, but moves quickly for how many people were waiting.

Ambience was good and our server was attentive. Parking is in a shared lot, so it's a little hard to find parking near the restaurant. I do wish the waitlist feature was a bit more helpful - this OPH allows you to join a waitlist, but never shares where in line you are which makes it tough to gauge when to show up/join the waitlist. Overall, I'll definitely be picking this OPH over some others due to the faster service!

I was sad to hear they discontinued the kitchen aspect of the cafe and are focusing only on the matcha but I do understand. Best of luck with Fufu Matcha!
