I'm a big fan of their sibling cafe C.R.E.A.M. next door, so it was inevitable that I try out the Sunday brunch at Klassics. I went for the $45 Millionaire Brunch Buffet. That's a little steep compared to what I normally spend, so I was prepared to report back that it's overpriced. But based on the food quality, it is not in fact overpriced. I tried almost everything that was available and most of it was good enough that I can imagine ordering it individually and being satisfied. The best was the lemon pepper salmon, that was absolutely delicious. I saw a lot of praise in other reviews for the Crab Boil Wings, but those weren't available at the buffet, probably because I was only there for its final 45 minutes. The dry rub wings were excellent, and so were the eggs, the grits, the chicken apple sausage, really everything. Even the fruit salad was totally above average. The only food item I didn't particularly care for was just labeled "pasta" next to the tray. It had a distinct flavor which might have just been an odd fit for me. My service was friendly; for a pricey buffet, I would expect to be replenished with clean plates and cutlery pretty quickly, but instead I had to flag her down a couple of times. I was seated next to the bar, even though it looked like there were some nicer tables available and I'd made a reservation; I was a little jealous of the people in the dining room proper. Overall, though, the food here is good enough to recommend to anyone with a budget that matches these prices. They have some very intriguing items on their dinner menu, so I'll definitely come back for that.

What can I say? I'm officially in love with the Cashville Salmon at Klassic Kitchen! It's perfectly seasoned, cooked just right, and bursting with flavor honestly, I crave it now. The atmosphere is inviting and gives off those warm, relaxed vibes that make you want to hang out a little longer. Whether you're coming in for a solo bite or meeting up with friends, it just feels good to be there. The staff? Super friendly, attentive, and on point with their service. They make you feel welcome the moment you walk in. And the food overall? AHHHHMAZING. Every bite was full of flavor, and you can tell they put love into what they serve. Klassic Kitchen is definitely going on my regular rotation. Can't wait to come back!

Been here a couple times and love it. They have a small parking lot but might have to park on the street. I usually try to get reservations just in case. Beautiful restaurant, friendly and helpful staff every time. I've tried multiple food items and loved them all. Drinks are good and strong, just depends what you like, they have a lot of options. Can't wait for my next visit!

EJ was a great server. The music was a little loud but the drinks were delicious and weren't too strong. The crab boil wings were good but I enjoyed the collard stuffed salmon more. This location has such a beautiful connection to African American heritage and the decor was also very beautiful. Paid street parking is available.

I visited Klassics last year (sorry still catching up on my reviews) while in town for a conference. I joined a random conference group for dinner and ended up at one of the best restaurants! From the venue to the menu, everything was delicious! Our group though strangers, all ordered different dishes and then shared. My favorites were the crab boil wings, blackeyed pea hummus, and the tenders on the I want it all sampler (I didn't try the taquitos but it did not look good) I ordered the 1/2 chicken with mashed potatoes, and asparagus. Loved the sides but the chicken was a bit dry. I will say I almost bought dessert because the peach cobbler upside down cake sounded amazing. However, I sampled someone else's and it was a disappointment! If I'm ever back in town I'll definitely return!

Stopped in for a quick cocktail and were impressed with the bright open space. We easily grabbed a seat at the bar and ordered two delicious and well made cocktails. We didn't order any food but it all looked delicious!

New place! First visit...wow. Fun, efficient great service. Great drinks. Had the wings app. Was delish. I had the Klassic Lamb Chop. Was enough for two. Should have shared. Perfect. My partner had te Salmon. Was equally good. Great vibe. Will return.

I walked 30 mins from my hotel to the restaurant and I'd do it all again!!! SO WORTH IT! First of all, the vibes were on point. The restaurant was so cute, clean and the music was poppin! I was greeted immediately by Troy, who ended up being my server as well. Definitely request Troy when you go. He was amazing!! Very friendly, very attentive and answered all my questions. He gave me some great recommendations as well. It was just me so I couldn't take them all, but I'll absolutely be back for more. I was so indecisive when it came to which drink to order, but I went with the Mill City Millionaire and I didn't regret it. That drink packed a punch!! For my entree I went with the Crab Boil Wings. When I checked the menu before deciding on Klassics, that was the first dish to call out to me. Troy gave me some other great options but I'm glad I stuck with my original choice. They were SOOOOOO GOOODDDD!!! I literally ate the entire plate. So juicy, so flavorful. A definite must try! I can't wait for my next trip back to Minneapolis to try something else on the menu! If you're thinking about going here, DO IT!

Many aspects in this establishment I fully enjoyed, ranging from the clientele to the music they played to some of the highlight food items that I will elaborate soon, this Black-owned business deserves a shoutout and people should definitely pay it a visit at least once, especially for the brunch when they have the mimosa flight which I would consider the highlight of my meal, even if I conventionally barely order drinks when eating out. In terms of food, I have tried the crab boil wings once, and so did my partner when I returned there, and we both concluded that it was excessively salty while seasoned, so I think just reducing the salt would already help since it contained a good amount of flavor. My friend had the Philly scramble and we both ordered the chicken & waffles when I first went there with her, and we thought both dishes were solid, containing combinations of different ingredients that worked well together, basically. The Pimento Philly cheesesteak was great, especially because the meat was chopped well. I couldn't really taste the pimento cheese, though, as it tasted like it could be any other kind of cheese. The oxtail sliders had good caramelized onions while the beef was unfortunately dry. Using Hawaiian bread was a good choice, though, because it was sweet, offering a flavor contrast with the savory already in the sliders. As for the Cajun parmesan fries, I really couldn't taste any of the Cajun seasoning. I tasted parmesan for sure, and the fries, but not the Cajun. Finally, my partner who ordered the mussel frites had very positive comments about them, which I personally could not speak to. One thing I would like to mention is that almost all of my dishes contained potatoes, ranging from appetizers (oxtail sliders, mussel frites) to the cheesesteak sandwich. It was definitely potato overload and I didn't know what to do with them. While I don't know if this is a coincidence, I think having other kinds of vegetables instead for some dishes, or at least as options, can offer more variety. Maybe greens, or maybe even broccoli lol. Mimosa flight was my definite highlight because for $22 I tried four very different kinds of mimosas and was able to have a very good experience with my taste buds. I vaguely remembered two of them tasted relatively similar, but the flavors were still distinct enough! Shoutout to their playlist that has so far always been on point with a bunch of old school R&B (we're talking about millennial here), and to their servers that brought my friend and I two glasses of champagne since they considered us having waited for too long when we didn't think so ourselves.

We stopped over at Klassics for happy hour after having coffee flights next door at CREAM. The staff were very nice and welcoming. At the time we arrived it wasn't busy but did seem to pick up as time went on. Loved the chill atmosphere & the decor. We ordered a few apps just to have a taste of some things. Everything on the HH menu is $8. We got chicken tenders (comes with 2 tenders), fries and dip, jerk chicken taquitos (comes w/ 4 but they were pretty small) and a drink. Maybe we just ordered the basic of the basic but the flavors of what we ordered were very basic and nothing really stood out. Also $4/tender was a bit much. The price is not horrible but just a bit disappointing for the flavor payoff. I did hear they recently changed something's up on the menu, and my sister is wanting me to give it another try so maybe someday I'll check it out again.

I was greeted by the staff when I came in and loved the warmth immediately. I was meeting a group of friends and it our first time. We enjoyed the music and our waitress was very attentive. I got the oxtail sliders and they were delicious! My friends loved them too. We also loved the Philly scramble. As for drinks the PYT margarita was a table favorite. I think we all had 2 rounds. I also liked the Nino Brown. Overall we enjoyed the ambience and had great service! I would definitely go back.

We stopped for dinner pre-Guthrie, and it was an excellent choice. Interesting drink menu, but the bartender was happy to make good Manhattans off menu. Small but ok wine list, no bottle opening, tasting or first pour from staff, but didn't matter. Crab boil wings appetizer was great, tasty with potato slices and small corn on the cob slices. Potatoes were a bit mushy, we couldn't quite identify them at first, but all else was wonderful. Sauce: spoon up or you'll want a straw! Salmon entree and lamb chop entree were excellent. Nice grilled flavor. Avocado mashed potatoes were good, but I'm not sure how to elevate that combo to amazing.. Wait staff were friendly and helpful. Very personable and not fussy, just right. Good value for a night out. You can park on the street for cheap, and extend if needed to 10pm using the mpls parking app, so a good choice for the Guthrie.

If I could give a 10 star rating I would! This restaurant exceeded every expectation! We were a group of 10 and we were all beyond satisfied. We were greeted by a very personable hostess who escorted us to a lovely private room. It was bright and spacious. I love the clean, uncluttered decor of the entire tests. Our server, Tiania, showed up quickly to take our drink orders. She was knowledgeable about the drink menu. They've got a lot of specialty cocktails. I had something with mango, vodka and champagne. Delicious! One of my companions really enjoyed the blackberry mojito. Two other friends had a margarita concoction that must have been good because they finished them quickly. We shared the wings, sliders and shrimp skewers. I love the assorted wings! Some were spicy. Some were saucy. And some had dry rub. They came with ranch dressing and fried potatoes. I didn't try the sliders but everyone else raved about them. Two people had been there the day before and came back for those sliders. The shrimp skewers were nicely spiced. But, they were really overcooked. Still tasty.., On to the mains. My salmon was cooked perfectly! I don't like a lot of frills with my salmon. It was served with asparagus and red skin mashed potatoes. Perfect! Two of my friends had the lamb chops with fried plantains. They cleaned their plates! Another had some sort of chicken stir fry. She said it was really good. Another had salmon with collards on a bed of risotto. She was pleased with her meal. Sad thing about dessert..,we were too stuffed to have it! No one had room! Ugh! We met the owner, Gerard. I understand why the staff is so customer-focused. He was very friendly and clearly glad we came out on a rainy Friday night. I know I'll be back on my Fall trip to Minneapolis! Outstanding dining experience!
