The sweet tea was delicious and refreshing. We ordered at the counter, and about 10 minutes later the food came to our booth. The building is on the other side of 5 guys, but it was a little bit loud, I guess it was because it was lunch time, and they were busy. Overall the service and the food was delicious.

I'm so glad we stumbled upon Hot Off The Presses while passing through on our way to…read moreMinneapolis--this place is an absolute gem. We were just here a few weeks ago and I am so bummed to see they permanently closed!! We came during lunch and took advantage of their weekday lunch combo (Tues-Fri, 11am-2pm), which includes soup and a half grilled cheese. You can choose from the OG, Kick in the Cheese, or Fancy grilled cheese, plus either tomato basil bisque or the soup of the day. Honestly? A dream setup. I ordered the tomato basil bisque with a half OG grilled cheese, and wow... just wow. The soup was rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced, and the grilled cheese delivered that classic, beautiful cheese pull moment you hope for (and rarely actually get). The cheese had the perfect amount of sharpness and subtle bitterness, balancing everything out so well without being overwhelming.. I seriously could go for one right now! Every bite was comforting and delicious, and I immediately wished I had ordered a full OG sandwich because it was that good. The combo was mouth‑watering, satisfying, and wildly exceeded expectations for a quick lunch stop.

I have visited twice, and have been impressed by their efficiency, timing, and pricing. Plenty of free parking on site. Lots of seating inside. I have enjoyed their Chicken Caesar wrap and their Chicken Bacon Ranch wrap, both with terrific taste, made to order, and plentiful. I explored more of the menu and have a lot of other things to try. I also enjoyed their homemade soup and their cookies.

The sandwiches were absolutely incredible--honestly some of the best I've ever had, no question…read more But the wait was beyond frustrating. We were driving through from Colorado back to Minnesota and did everything right: ordered online a full 30 minutes ahead so we could just swing in and pick up. We arrive, my sister (who also ordered ahead online) is already walking out with her food. My brother orders in-person right when we get there, and his sandwich--plus two other walk-in customers' orders--come out before ours even starts being made. We ended up waiting over another 30 minutes. More than an hour total from when we placed the order. What is the point of online ordering if the system doesn't hold your spot in line and just lets in-store orders and later arrivals jump ahead of you? It completely defeats the whole purpose. Still... those sandwiches really were exceptional. Almost worth the headache.

After ordering and going to fill my drink glass I was able to see the salad bar better. A lot of people were there for the salad bar! Nice sized with lots of selections.

The fact they are local and small makes supporting them that much tastier. I noticed signage pointing out they have some very tasty bread, which I agree, but if you're more of a I'll take some bread with my meat sammy gal (or guy), then double up on the meat. This bread is thick! After reading some reviews, I wish I would have grabbed some soup but I was in a hurry to get checked in to my hotel. I noticed there was a lot of random shopping in the area, lots of discount stores and thrifting.

I usually get the turkey club - the quality of their turkey is great and they LOAD the sandwich high with meat and toppings. My mom's favorite is their ham salad - she is obsessed! I also love their variety of classic deli sides. I've had their potato salad, but this time got the broccoli salad: so good. Service was quite slow this time, but it seemed to be a new staff member learning the ropes. We took ours to go but it's a nice experience inside.

I really didn't know what to order so I went with the classic cheeseburger. Two smash patties, two slices of cheese (your choice), and really fresh toppings all on a brioche bun.

They had a great beer list in addition to their own beers. I'll have to go back and try some. Overall a great, lively place to enjoy the game with friends or grab a quick bite with family.

It was very thick and rich which is not up my alley. All and all - I'd go back and try other things next time! And get more wings!
