Blackened cauliflower
Tracey F.

I want to like this place. I guess I like it, I don't love it. This location is NOISY. Nothing dampens the sound. Difficult for the servers to hear you or have a conversation without feeling like you're screaming. If you get anything with cheese, beware they put about a pound of cheese on your food. I scraped some off of the meal I had and it was still plenty cheesy. I got the blackened cauliflower gratin. It was ok. Super cheese aside, it barely had any seasoning or flavor. I didn't expect it to be burnt, but when you call something blackened, it should be seasoned. At least the hashbrowns are delicious. Hubs had the hot honey chicken sandwich, which I was also eyeing. Looked good, but the biscuit was huge. I probably would have dumped half. Coffee bar is also good here.

Chicken and waffles
Dana S.

Really wanted to love this place. Was leery going here after all the bad press, related to fraud and them shutting down their nonprofit. It's a local business though and wanted to give them a try to support local. After visiting I can say my opinion is neutral but given the recent press I'll be taking my business elsewhere. Chicken and waffles were a nice portion size and a hit with my teenager. 2 maple syrup Options (jalapeño and plain). No sides included but not really needed due to the ample portion size. Hashbrowns - ordered a side and was disappointed. Soft almost mushy in the middle the outside not crispy enough. Avocado toast - I didn't want the fried avocado so asked for fresh sliced instead and they easily accommodated my request. Served w two poached eggs cooked perfectly. Order didn't come out at once, waffles were served and several minutes later the avocado toast which requires minimal cooking came out. Served w a side of fruit, which seemed a bit old as the blueberries were mushy. Upon completing our meal I tried to find our server to pay the bill she dropped off. She was busy at the espresso machine for several minutes so I went to the hostess to see if we could pay. She went and told our server who came by a few minutes later to check us out. That process could have been better, we waited an awful long time to leave. Overall the food was tasty but a bit overpriced and service was slow and inattentive. 2.5 stars

Cottage Bruschetta Toast
Sami G.

Met my son here for brunch and coffee and was so happy we picked this place! We started with the cottage bruschetta toast and it was fresh, tasty and a hug portion. For our main we had biscuits and grave and the smoked salmon pimiento cheesy eggs special. The food here comes in huge portions and it is always hot and fresh. We each had coffee that was so great, I bought a bag of beans to grind at home. So good! Our server was so professional and friendly. The interior is decorated so nicely and so inviting. Def recommend!!

So many WONDERFUL choices!  This cant be EAGAN
Aneesa K.

Back again . This time we made a reservation. You caNot get in ( unless you are patient enough to wait for a table) without one. Great staff, great food and atmosphere. Never disappointed

Breakfast sandwich.
kristin s.

A group of six gals and I went to hope breakfast bar In Eagan. It was great. Service was great, our waitress was patient and knowledgeable! We all got a round of cocktails including an espresso martini which was fab. My friend liked their spicy Bloody Mary. For food the tostada and blacked cauliflower were a hit. Breakfast sandwiches were enjoyed, next time I'll ask for my bacon to be a bit crispier on my sandwich. The cheesy French toast was the only item that didn't meet expectations, it was too cheesy! To be fair I think our patient waitress noticed this and took it off my friends bill which was nice! Overall I'd be back, we weren't rushed like some other hope bar locations. We made reservations about one week ahead a time.

Avocado Toast & Poached Eggs - V DF S
Allison D.

We made a reservation for two a few days ago for a 10:30am Saturday brunch spot and I am glad we did! This is a very popular place on the weekends, I highly recommend making a reservation early. We order drip coffee that came in an adorable Stanley carafe. I ordered the cottage bruschetta toast with scrambled egg and bacon and WOW! That was a lot of food! The tomato cucumber bruschetta was the best part. I had never had it on cottage cheese but it was a great way to start the weekend. My fiancé had the avocado toast with the poached egg and again, SO much food. We could not be a part of the clean plate club, but in the best way. The restaurant was crowded but there were plenty of staff to bounce around and clear plates. The location is in a semi-strip mall across from Eagan high school. The parking lot gets FULL so allow for some time to find a spot. Highly recommend this location, a great brunch spot in the south suburbs!

Fried Chicken & Waffles and Pork Carnitas Bowl
Edene Shirley L.

I came to hope breakfast bar with my brother, It reminded me so much of my favorite brunch spots in the east coast. The service was on top of things and very friendly. She helped us decide what would be best suited for our palates. I landed on the carnitas bowl, my brother went for the chicken and waffles. He loved the waffles, the chicken was cooked very well, seasoned well and with the addition of some hot sauce hit the spot. I enjoyed my bowl as well it tasted like sitting next to the fire place on a snowy day. Everyone at Hope seemed to be enjoying time with their loved ones, it was a comfortable eating experience. Glad we made a reservation though, it was busy when we arrived!

Buttermilk pancakes - Short stack
Michelle O.

I'd been to the Hope's Breakfast Bar in St Paul and was excited to have one closer to home for me now with this one in Eagan. Mainly I was excited to be able to find parking more easily if I'm being honest ;) The location is great, there is a parking lot which made me excited after my experience going to the St Paul one, and it was a nice space inside. Volume inside is a bit on the noisy side but nothing we couldn't work around in having a conversation. The service was fantastic with a server who knew the menu well, made recommendations on items including slight modifications that worked well, and he was genuinely excited about his work and providing great service. The food was fantastic! Flavorful and perfectly prepared, it came out hot from the kitchen, the coffee comes in a retro Stanley thermos which was a cool touch! For breakfast we both had the Sunrise Chili Crunch Bowl which was fantastic! It came with the option of carnitas but we both decided to get it without. It was very tasty with great ingredients and we both got it with a poached egg instead of scrambled (highly recommend so you get that runny yolk in there!). I also ordered a short stack of buttermilk pancakes and they were fantastic! Soft and fluffy and great flavor as well! The experience was wonderful from the accessibility of the restaurant at this location, the service and the many choices on Hope's menu, and the quality of the food! Will be back many times I'm sure ;)

Pork Belly & Biscuit
Katie F.

I had a delicious and inviting experience at this location as soon as you walked in the door (: Our order consisted of trying the cinnamon waffles, pancakes, and pork belly/biscuit/cheesy grit plate. Drinks shared were lemonade and a seasonal latte drink. Everything tasted was equally tasty, but the pork belly and cheesy grits were to die for. Everything was served with a smile and details were noted. I was quite impressed with our experience! Thanks!

Carmel latte
Tara L.

This is a place my husband and I have been to a few times. We like the unique breakfast options (he loves pancakes and they have a fun variety). The food has always been good and fresh. The latte is a favorite of mine! Ambiance is cute, they have decor and indoor outdoor seating. Tables are spread out so you have space and don't feel like you're on top of everyone else. One item we have consistently been let down with is the service. Each time we have went the servers are very busy, rarely check in and are a bit short with us. The food helps make up for it but this has happened each time we have gone (they have a Saint Paul location and their service has always been on point). I am only speaking to the Eagan location. The service is why I can't give 5 stars for this location.

Monkey Cakes - V

The food was rather pricey, fair warning, deff a boutique place. The monkey pancakes were sickening rich, great if you have a sweet tooth, on top of being massive. It's definitely a place you go for more vibes and popularity than food itself. It was slammed the Sunday we went, which, being a religious based place, makes sense. Our waitress was amazing even tho she was constantly busy taking care of others.

Kahlua Mocha Latte
Christine M.

Every time a Grand Slam! Our first visit to the Eagan Hope! What I love most about this place is everything on their menu sounds like I'd want to try it! today we had the Blackened Cauliflower and fried eggs and the Carrot Cake pancakes. Also, who knew Kahlua amd Mocha paired so well! The open seating does lend itself to a cacophony of sound so I wouldn't say it was intimate, but it's a great place with great energy and perfect for a Saturday morning brekkie with friends. The staff were outstanding and the food came in around 10-15 minutes of ordering!! Make sure to get a reservation. People that just showed up were told it was an hour wait! We'll definitely be back. So many things we want to try!!

Unicorn Mimosa
Jay S.

This is my first time visiting the Eagan establishment, and my experience was actually a lot better than the one in Saint Louis Park, which I think might have been elevated by the fact that this spot wasn't nearly as packed as the Saint Louis Park one, either because my friends and I arrived after 1pm, or there were just fewer people around the area in general. I am rating this establishment a 5 while maintaining my 4 rating for the Saint Louis Park one from earlier. In my other review, I mentioned that I would give the food itself a 3, but other factors like their cute "believe in breakfast" slogan, the hospitable service, their various kinds of coffee, and their ability to keep up with so many customers with such a large menu and their food variety. Well all these other factors remained at this Eagan location, and what I ordered this time tasted very good as well, so a 5 all around. The stuffed poblano was the only staff choice that I had not tasted yet, and if the fried chicken and waffles used to be my favorite, then this would be my new favorite. The egg, cheese, poblano pepper, and hashbrown combination actually make the dish taste a bit "huevos racheros"-ish, especially if one adds carnitas and then add hot sauce on top of it. The variety of texture and flavors makes this dish a very pleasant experience. I also had a unicorn mimosa this time, and fully enjoyed the process of pouring champagne into red and blue cotton candy, and seeing the liquid turning purple entirely which was very visually appealing! Based on these two, my experience here was nothing short of amazing, honestly. I have included a few photos from the Saint Louis Park location as well, and my review from that location would critically explain what my assessment of those items were. But like I said, stuffed poblano is my new favorite now after trying it today!

BBLAT, we took off the lettuce.

See all

Enter through the Burger spot and look for the Coca Cola machine! Once you enter Volstead House, you can't help but be transported into what feels like a Spirit Library. A huge accent wall lined from floor to ceiling with spirit bottles is the perfect back drop to this cozy hang out. Perfect for a date night, friend catch-up, or solo Whiskey adventure, Volstead House is a vibe! Pair the atmosphere with top notch, educated bartenders and mixologists...you know you'll be taken care of! We started with the A La Louisiane, a spirit-forward, whiskey cocktail with some funk from Peychauds and Absinthe. It was delicious and well balanced. We also shared the Glazed Carrots and the Parm Fries. The carrots didn't hit for me, as the glaze and sauce lacked a punch of flavor but the fries were crispy and delicious. If you have a spirit enthusiast or someone that likes to explore the world of cocktails, I think this is the perfect vibe!

There's tons and tons of bottles up and down the walls. The space is also smaller than expected, but we went in at 3PM as a party of 4 on a Sunday and had no problem getting seated. I ordered the Lost Footage and it was delicious (and strong!!). It came in a flask inside of a VHS case which was fun. I then got to pour it into my glass. Other members of my group got The Red Wedding, Pity Party, and To Your Health. My spouse and I shared the strip steak and the wedge salad, which we enjoyed. I would like to see some more food options in the future, especially since I'm already pretty limited due to a gluten allergy. However, I am excited to come back.

We were seated right away upon arrival and service was good and we were well taken care of the whole time. Starting from apps, we ordered the duck bacon wontons, and the brisket poutine. The duck bacon wontons were almost empanada size and were truly tasty. The pomegranate sriracha dipping sauce was the icing on the cake here as it was so sweet and rich and flavorful. The brisket poutine was pretty solid as well. There were definitely some beautiful cheese pulls involved when pullling apart the fry's. I wouldn't have minded a little more gravy, but still this dish was still pretty good. For my beverage I had the You're my boy blue beverage which is a bourbon, agave, blueberry and lemonade drink. It was tasty and the blueberry really stood out. Lastly, for the entree I had the anytime monte which is their take on a Monte Cristo sandwich. I love this thing wit a passion. Delicious French toast bread with fried ham and bacon and cheese inside. I then slathered it in the jalapeño strawberry jam which makes this sandwich complete. I asked for the sandwich with Fries and let me tell you, they know what they're doing with potatoes. Unbelievably crispy, double battered double fried fry's. So good! I think that this restaurant has wonderful staff, wonderful food, and the one thing it's maybe missing is the interior design is a bit dreary. It's just red everywhere, lots of windows and pretty plain furniture. I think if they can add some flare to the design it would really elevate the dining experience. Still, I was very happy with my time here hence a 5/5

We got the duck bacon wontons and brisket poutine (both pictured) and they both split nicely for 4 people.

The bbq sauce on the sandwich was super tangy and had the perfect amount of spice. Service was excellent, our water glasses were never empty and all our needs were met. We will definitely be back!
