The service is always at 10 when you have pat as your server, she is best Will change your mood from sad we love patty

Service is always great!!!.. it's a go-to spot for my friends and me! Patty, our waitress, was amazing. I don't usually write reviews, but she really made this visit worth mentioning. She was very helpful, informative, and had a great personality. The food was good, and our wait was short. Highly recommend! read more

Incredible service and gorgeous dog friendly patio! The food and atmosphere is absolutely amazing. The pancakes are 5 star and a must try. And normally you wouldn't get excited about oatmeal, but the "banana nut oatmeal"... wow! So delicious!! We were just passing through Minneapolis and happened to go here. So glad we did!! It did not disappoint! read more

I'm a savory breakfast type-of-person so I ordered eggs Benedict for myself and strawberries cream pancakes for my kids. I fell in love with pancakes. They were moist, had a little bit of saltiness to them (I'm guessing from butter), so good even without syrup. On the other hand tho, the egg Benedict was dreadful. The hollandaise sauce seems to be the problem. Literally tasted like hospital food, 0/10 for the Benedict. I would also switch out the Canadian bacon for better quality. I also wish the waiter had been more lively and attentive. Overall I would come back, literally for the pancakes!! read more

We came here on a Sunday around 9:45 AM, and had about a 30 minute wait. While you're waiting, there is a shop next-door that you can go into and browse around! Once we were seated, we were greeted by a waitress almost immediately! We ordered our drinks and browsed around the menu. It is pretty busy inside so I would say if you're coming for brunch on a weekend to definitely get there early, we had a party of two and only had a 30 minute wait but other parties were waiting for a while. The food was decent, basic breakfast food. I don't know that I would necessarily come here again, but it was a cute brunch place. read more

My husband and I got the Colorado omelette and scrambled Rita. They were both amazing and the server was so nice. When we mentioned that we were going to share, he had the kitchen split the meals for us. It was a bit busy, but we were able to get tables outside immediately. The outdoor seating was very nice and not too loud. read more

Jensen's Cafe is a warm, cozy place. When you enter and the place is busy, they take your name and tell you how long the wait will be. They say to take a seat outside (where they have several benches and your name will be called on the loud speaker. They were spot on with the time and did announce that our table was ready. The menu consists of breakfast and lunch. There are a great number of choices. Although they have markings to indicate that dishes are gluten free or vegetarian, beware. When offering drinks, I asked about the kind of teas they had. Too bad they don't even have an herbal tea on the list. I ordered the thick bacon and eggs. The bacon was really good. The eggs were perfect. However, I asked about replacing the potatoes with the fruit. Because of allergies, I asked what kind of fruit they serve. I expected a surcharge to change to fruit. I was not told that there would be an extra surcharge to leave out my allergy fruit and go with only one kind. This was bad on the part of the server. They only had two choices of bread and no choice of gluten free bread. That severely limits the choices of someone sensitive to gluten. My husband ordered the Harvest Scramble. Luckily, they were able to leave out the green peppers. Interesting that so many dishes had green peppers in them. He enjoyed the eggs, but ordered the fruit, instead of potatoes. He said he would like the fruit mixture which had melons, pineapple and one blackberry. He ordered the wheat toast which he said was not memorable. All in all, we enjoyed the experience with a number of flaws. They need to tighten up their menu and make sure that people with special nutritional needs are attended to carefully. read more

This was my second time coming to Jensen's and I gotta say: I'm still a fan! There is a free parking ramp, go there to park :) We came on a very busy Saturday (definitely tells you the food is good!) We had about a 20 minute wait, not bad at all! There is a little shop by this place that you can check out while you're waiting! Or there are lots of benches to sit. We were greeted and brought to our table. The waiter came promptly and given how busy it was, did a nice job of keeping up! The decor reminds me of going back in time. Very relaxed, home kind of feeling. I got the lemon ricotta pancakes. While they tasted pretty good, I did feel they were a tad dry. The sauce that comes with definitely helped, but I probably should have asked for a bit more. The sauce was lemon flavored and was very tasty! In my opinion the start of the show was the candied bacon! Thick, sweet, sticky, salty and soooo good! Don't miss out on it! My friend had the stuffed French toast and that was also AMAZING!! My boys devoured their pancakes! I would definitely recommend this spot and will be back again to try other items read more

Jensen's Cafe - Lemon ricotta pancakes with candied bacon- GET THE CANDIED BACON! Thick, sweet, salty, sticky soooo good! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Burnsville, Minnesota

This is one of the best options for breakfast in the South Metro. I've eaten here many times and it's always outstanding. Because of the popularity of the place, it's not unusual to wait 20 to 40 minutes, but I will say it's worth the wait. For me, the favorites include, the blueberry pancakes, cheesy hashbrowns, the largest caramel roll you will ever have, the stuffed French toast, and the ability to have lots of different options and combinations with much of the menu. The ambience is fine and it's rare for it not to be full most days. This is a place that never disappoints and if you live in the south metro, and you haven't been here for breakfast, you are flat out missing out. read more

My family and I decided to have breakfast on a Saturday early afternoon. Parking closest to the restaurant is limited, but there's also a free parking ramp not too far away. The wait was about 35-40 minutes to seat four people. Once seated, our waitress was on top of things the entire time--from drinks to taking orders and handling special requests. The food came out quickly and was fresh. The breakfast potatoes are so good! Again, our waitress stayed on top of everything, and we were out within 1.5 hours of being seated. This is one of our favorite breakfast spots. Although we almost always have to wait, the food makes up for it. read more

Second time coming here, and it was even better than the first. My son comes here often and raves about the place. Each time I have visited on a weekend morning, the restaurant has been packed. There is usually a wait if you want a table in the regular dining room, but if you ask for the bar area you tend to get seated right away. In the bar, you can either sit at the counter or at one of the tables. This time we were at a table, which I prefer. The service was outstanding from start to finish. Melissa does a fantastic job, super friendly, helpful with the menu, and a real professional at keeping track of orders, checking in, and clearing plates. They should clone her. This time we tried a mix of different items: the breakfast burrito, pigs in a blanket, enchiladas, and pancakes. It didn't take long for everything to come out, and all of it was hot, nicely presented, flavorful, and generous in portion size. (Last time I had the baked omelet, and that was a disappointment.) The pancakes were the table favorite, fluffy with a unique and subtle flavor. Definitely one of our favorite spots for reliable breakfast classics. read more

We had brunch here on Mother's Day after spending the day at the zoo. It was very busy, we had to wait about 45min, but they had a lot of benches to sit on which was nice. The food was pretty good and the service was great. They so upcharge you for every little thing which was kind of annoying, but we will remember that for next time. The restaurant is big and overall a great place to grab breakfast. read more

Breakfast was good. Menu seems yummy. Didn't know the candied bacon was there thing when she asked if I wanted a side of bacon and o just said yes. Well, it's 9$more. Everything seems to be alacart. My $14 breakfast ended up costing me +$30 before tax. So much for a simple breakfast. I guess i know now. I'm car i decide to make it a next time read more

Great breakfast and Swedish pancakes. Service was impeccable beyond a shadow of doubt this is a great place to eat.

Getting into the restaurant was actually more challenging than expected; it literally took me 3 doors before I got it right!! However, the food and service did not disappoint. I had the country fried steak and eggs and my family ordered a waffle and omelette. Every one was pleased. The outdoor seating actually gave the ambiance a much needed boost, Parking is plenty with the FREE ramp nearby. We went here for a birthday brunch read more

I got the eggs and bacon, unless they dropped my plate on the way out they gave me 2 quail eggs. The food was ok, but the portions were a joke. I got a screwdriver with no detectable booze in it. If you're looking for a geriatric experience with servers floating through life on a Prozac high with plenty of carbs and skimpy meat and egg portions, check it out. read more

I've been coming in for over a year and am highly impressed. The atmosphere is welcoming, food delicious and the service is outstanding! The staff take the time to get to know their customers and make them feel appreciated. Personally, I've been made to feel like part of their extended family. Yes they can get quite busy, but that's a sign of the quality of experience you are about to have so plan ahead. Thank you Jensen's for everything you do to create such a positive experience for their customers. read more

Been here a couple of times. It's one of our go-to breakfast places here. They are in a mixed use building, with a small lot in the back and then a ramp not too far away. This most recent visit we just had the sausage and eggs. Pretty standard - comes with breakfast potatoes and toast (white or wheat). You can also get fruit or cheesy hash browns for extra in place of the potatoes. We've also had the chorizo sausage and their pastries like their cinnamon roll. Everything has been pretty standard and can't go wrong with anything. read more

This place was so busy and I could see why. This was my first time. I had an omelet with shredded chicken and veggies inside. EXCELLENT choice!! The cheesy hash browns were a delight to eat as well. Pancakes were through the roof with their house-made maple butter syrup. Even the coffee was strong and robust. I'll be going back for certain. I loved the style of the restaurant. To know I worked not far from here is insane. Easily a best kept secret in the Twin Cities. read more

We ate here in a Saturday morning and first off, you should be prepared for possibly a wait to get seated. It was 10am and we had about 45 minute wait which was no big deal but if you're wanting to get in right away you may be disappointed. The wait is worth the wait!! Plus there's a little gift shop right there to help pass time with and they have very neat things there! The food was fabulous and their buttery maple syrup is to die for! Kudos for being able to purchase some and take home! The pancakes were light and fluffy while the eggs Benedict were super yummy as well! We left full and satisfied! The staff was very courteous and the whole ambience was really nice! I can see why people wait in line to eat there! We will definitely go back! read more

This place is good. It takes a while to get food and it's expensive. It's more of an event type meal place than a pop in for lunch place.

My wife and stopped in for a MLK Jr. Day breakfast as the kids were off elsewhere. We got in around 9 AM and it was a 20-30 minutes wait, but it was worth it. Our drinks were balanced and tasty. The food was well seasoned and tasted great, and the service was excellent. We even ordered a Caramel roll to go, we didn't realize until we got home we could feed the family with it. It was a nice change to our normal spot, and I think will make our rotation when we have time to wait. read more

My husband and I went there during our 4th July holiday. I had always thought I would go there and never did what a fantastic place to have some breakfast. I loved every bit of it.

Every good town needs a trustworthy cafe for a weekend brunch and Jensen's is Burnsville's tried and true! Small parking lot outside, but we've been lucky to always find a spot when we've gone! Big dining room but fills up quickly on the weekends. Get there early or expect a small wait. We were lucky enough to snag a bar area high top on our latest trip! Service is alright...they are frequently very busy so servers can be overwhelmed, but it hasn't negatively impacted our experience. The food is lovely!! Traditional brunch foods with a bit of class... definitely not greasy, diner breakfast! I've usually stuck with the Biscuits and Gravy, which are yummy! Do yourself a favor and always upgrade to the cheesy hash browns...you won't be upset ;) read more

yummy food and my kids love the options. Service was great and cute place. Definitely will go back.

They do it ALL well and the food is great! Best breakfast around! Great place for a "get together!"

The restaurant has a relaxed atmosphere, a warm and comfortable environment, and the waiters are friendly and attentive. The Stuffed French Toast and Swedish Pancake Combo are excellent, sweet but not cloying, and the portions are generous. It's perfect for breakfast or brunch, and overall, I was very satisfied with my dining experience. read more

Looking for delicious French toast? Jensen's has it! Substantial slices, soaked in amazing custardy egg goodness and cooked to perfection. SO delicious! Eggs, bacon and sausage were good as well but a bit in the small side portion wise. Husband had a screwdriver, I had the greyhound- not sure the juices were actual fruit juices. Service was fabulous. Would go back just for the French toast. read more

A nice breakfast spot! The place was busy but clean. My wait time: around 15 minutes. Started with the apple cinnamon bread, which came out looking like it was ready for a magazine cover. Done just right, with powdered sugar like a gentle snowfall and a scoop of butter on top. I poured their housemade syrup on everything and may have used up half the container. Then came the Cafe! Kitchen Sink Omelet -- a beautiful, overflowing egg blanket stuffed with ham, sausage, mushrooms, green peppers tomatoes and cheese. It's the edible equivalent of a group hug from all your favorite breakfast meats. The hash browns were crispy enough to make me question every soggy potato I've tolerated in the past. Coffee was solid. Not rocket fuel, but enough to make me like people again. read more

Treated myself to lunch today at Jensen's Cafe. I'm glad this place is within walking distance to my apartment because I've found my new favorite neighborhood breakfast/ lunch spot! The service was fantastic. I was seated right away. The server was very friendly and attentive to not just me, but the customers around me as well. The food came out quickly and was delicious! I got the kitchen sink omelet and cheesy hash browns. If you get any of the breakfast items, definitely opt for the cheesy hash browns as a side because they were SO good! read more

For the price, it's not worth the wait (30+ min) or hype. Generic breakfast food, half of which I think is just straight up Sysco. If I wanted food like that, surrounded by loud geriatric types, I'd get breakfast at a retirement home. read more

Come here often (or should I say used to?). Normally great food and great service. Except today when just managed to try to gaslight and be condescending about it at the same time. Spent my money elsewhere today and likely will again. read more
