    I love the vibe of this place. It feels like the coolest cat in town invited you to come chill and listen to jazz in their living room. You step through the door and leave the small town of Elgin behind and walk into an urban, vinyl spinning lounge. The coffee is good. The food is good. And the owners Dan & Cathy are friendly and welcoming. I plan on being a regular here and I hope you'll check it out and immerse yourself in the space for a bit.

    Wow! A little slice of heaven in little 'ol Elgin, Minnesota! This place is LEGIT! I'm sitting here feeling like I'm chilling in St. Paul. I don't know what I'm more impressed with, the coffee, the vinyl they're spinning, the food or the atmosphere!! I am truly blown away. They have over 14,000 records, a collection spanning 20th century music. This would be a PERFECT first date spot! And the food - the food is homemade and delicious. I ordered a grilled cheese and chili. The grilled cheese is not your average grilled cheese - this one is grown up and sophisticated with tons of flavor. The chili is more mild than wild, which I appreciated. Very delicious and a huge portion, served with shredded cheese and sour cream if that's your jam. And the owners provide such a warm and welcoming environment. Even the bathroom has ambiance - and was super clean! You can feel the love they have for this place! If you haven't checked it out - get in the car or start hoofing it to Jazz Shepherd and you can thank me later. 100% will be back!! And before I forget to mention it - ALL are welcome here! Let's support Cathy and Dan! I need for this place to be around for a long, LONG time!

    This had a classic diner feel to it with the booths and a counter at the entrance. The menu had…read morelots of choices with reasonable pricing. The staff was friendly and the food came out quickly. I had the ham and turkey chef salad. It was served in a tortilla shell with lettuce, tomato, peppers, pineapple, cheddar cheese, and taco chips with a sweet and sour dressing. It also came with garlic bread that was pleasant but not needed. This type of salad being in a tortilla shell was a little odd, but not bad. It was a little stale as well, but nothing concerning. The overall salad was well put together and everything else seemed fresh with plenty of the toppings. The pineapple was also an interesting choice, but I did not mind it. Will I go back? Yeah, why not.

    Cute little diner that's probably been there for decades. Loved the decor and while the place…read morewasn't exactly spacious, it was laid out well and didn't feel super cramped. We were greeted and seated promptly, and the waitress took good care of us. Service overall was pretty quick and attentive. My friend liked her Denver omelette, and we both liked the hashbrowns though they definitely were not your standard hashbrowns. Almost more like a smashed potato. Could have been crispier but they were cooked through and had a good taste. I truly enjoyed my eggs Benedicts which were made with spam instead of Canadians bacon. The spam was fried crispy and just straight up delicious. I might have to eat more spam!

    Tried out Hollandberry Pannekoeken on a Sunday around 1 PM. The restaurant was packed, but the wait…read morewasn't bad at all, about 20 minutes. Definitely a brunch spot that many people visit morning/lunchtime. We ordered the Hollandberry Burger and swapped the fries for onion rings (+$2), and also got the Bacon Smoked Gouda Burger with regular fries. Both burgers were ordered medium rare, but the Smoked Gouda Burger came out closer to medium/well done, making it a bit dry. The service was a letdown. Water is served in small mason jars, and ours was never refilled until we requested water after being there for an hour. We also requested sauce. Both never arrived until our table asked for it a second time which took about 10 minutes later to get to us. To top it off, we were handed to go boxes while we were still eating. We realized a table nearby asked for boxes and had been waiting for it to leave. The experience felt a little disorganized. Would I come back? Maybe, but I'd probably skip the burgers and try one of the pannekoeken instead if I'm feeling something sweet, since that's what Hollandberry is really known for.

Service is excellent considering one person was working the whole room. My husband really enjoyed the Biscuits and Gravy. He added eggs. My Biscuit Sliders were very good. I would skip the pickled onion next time as it was very sour. I added cheese for $1 but it was just a couple sprinkles. The breakfast potatoes are excellent and a don't miss.

I love that you can see the kitchen. Today's special was Cajun hash. The sausage was flavorful. potatoes are always amazing. Eggs are fresh. onions, peppers, cheese. My friend had the fried rice, curry eggs, vegetables we ended with blueberry pancakes smothered with fresh cream because it was my friend's birthday. I'm still full hours later. Love this place.
