Happy Hour! Does not disappoint! $ off of drinks and apps! Since this restaurant is a little more spendy than others, it's a good time to visit! We both enjoyed our soups (it was a cold, rainy day and they warmed us up). The Margherita Flatbread was alright but I'm not ordering it again. Our server, Joe rocked our LG experience! I can't wait to bicycle here and sit out on the patio and enjoy one of their Longfellow Bellinis! read more

I've had many good meals here at Longfellow grill, however, this was not one of them. Flavor was there, but 14.50 for the eggs Benedict with this much ham? I don't think so. One paper thin slice of ham that doesn't even cover the English muffin? Pretty damn cheap is what I call it. Hollandaise sauce container for comparison. read more

Longfellow Grill - American Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

I loved the breakfast options that are offered all day! The service was great and the patio is perfect for a nice warm summer day.

I have visited LFG 3 times now, ordering drinks and appetizers as a treat on my way home from work. Buffalo cauliflower and cheese curds, meh. Queso dip a little better. Blood Orange Seltzer should be drained down the sink. Best thing I ordered? Very icy cold refill after refill of Diet Pepsi. Location is VERY NICE on the patio, especially along the outside railing, where you can watch the birds in the trees overhead and the bustle of traffic around you. Try it out. Maybe the entrees are better. As for me, I'm looking for another spot. read more

Stopped here for lunch today... delicious Chicken wild rice soup and Italian salad. They also have a really good happy hour. Excellent service and quiet enough to hold a conversation. Will return when in the area again. read more

Longfellow Grill has some pluses and minuses. The ambiance is pleasant enough, both inside and out, parking is easy (as is access to the nearby bike trail), and they have a pretty wide range of items on their menu. They also have a good drink list with lots of craft beers. However, there are definitely opportunities for improvement as well. The only dietary restriction they really take seriously is GF...there aren't very many vegan, dairy free, egg free, or options for other common allergies and intolerances. While I have always been able to find something to eat here, I also feel like my choices are very limited. Additionally, when I came with my family (total of 6 people), the only seating options on the patio were in the sun; they would not slightly adjust one of the tables to put us in the shade, even though there were very few people eating on the patio. So, while Longfellow is ok, I'd really like to see them offer more options for more dietary restrictions, and also to be more accomodating of seating requests and not expect larger parties to sit in the sun. read more

OH MY!! Tonight we stopped here for a well deserved date night (hello pandemic!) and it was SO good. I got the steak and Pierogi and it was amazing. The steak was cooked to perfection and so juicy. I didn't have any tough spots in it at all. We will definitely be back! read more

I am so sorry Longfellow grill but I am going to have to knock you down a star. I love the patio and the food but the service the last two times, over a year apart due to Covid, has been deplorable. Laughable. The first time when our server was MIA for a very long time it was a sad occasion because it was a beautiful night and we would've stayed longer, had dessert, and another cocktail but we seriously could not even find her. Most recently, once again, a beautiful day on the patio and our server was horrid. He had no idea about libations or what kind of specialty drinks they had, he could answer no questions, and when they forgot my bloody Mary and I inquired, he told me that somebody had stolen it from the bar. Where's my BLOODY Bloody Mary??? I eventually received it. Our food, was good, however, it did not come out at the same time and there was only two of us. The whole experience was odd once again. Will I return? Of course I will. It's right in my hood and the patio is amazing but Come on.... Get some Better Servers... read more

I moved out of Mpls about a decade ago, when I come back to town, this is ALWAYS a stop. Today I had the salmon and eggs, with English muffin and breakfast salad. Fantastic Highly suggest you go. read more

Love the vibe of a neighborhood place. I had a burger and my husband has the chicken sandwich; both were delicious. The tap beer selection was good...not extensive but well chosen variety. Parking can be challenging but don't let that deter you. It comes with being in "the neighborhood". I didn't know what to expect but was pleasantly surprised! The Highland Grill in St. Paul is a sister restaurant which we love. read more

Love this place - A big outdoor seating section with trees on a bustling corner right on the river. Lots of people come here on the bike path. The burger was wonderful, and I may have had fries that good before, but never better. Have always had great servers and tonight Sully went above and beyond - super friendly but never intrusive, recommended a great watermelon sour. Indoor eating is good too - it's just that summer's short and outdoors is the best. read more

This was our first time to Longfellow Grill. It was AHHHH mazing!! AMY our server was warm & kind and extremely accommodating to my son with a dairy allergy!! He LOVED his salmon and veggies on brown rice!! I had literally the BEST BEET SALAD I have ever tasted in my life. Delicious- perfectly cooked and LOADED with different colors of glorious beets. LOADED. The menu looked VAST and full of unique flavors. Beautiful outside deck area as well. We will definitely be BACK. Fantastic Food!! The manager came out and reassured that everything was dairy free for my son. Amy did an amazing job serving- and making it a wonderful evening. She was so patient with my son too. I can't wait to come back and try more items. EXCELLENT RESTAURANT 5 stars. Highly recommended!! read more

Breakfast served all day is a huge win! Longfellow Grill has an excellent staff that plays a big role of making the entire dining experience wonderful from the hosts to the bartenders to the servers to the bussing crew. Every employee is attentive to your needs and is super considerate when it comes to clearing dishes. They take reservations or typical walk ins which contains bar, table or booth seating. The dining allows for natural bright sunlight due to all the big windows. In the summer, there is a beautiful outdoor patio as well. I recently went for brunch and it was so delicious that I went again the next day. Fantastic options: pancakes, breakfast bowl, anything from the Blue Plate "special" seasonal menu (be sure to peek as options rotate) as well as the iced matcha latte. I appreciate that they serve full-proof cocktails, low-proof cocktails and no-proof cocktails on the menu. I opted for the mock-tail "The Damn Jam" and it was fresh, colorful and flavorful. Enjoy! read more

I had one of the most enjoyable restaurant experiences recently. My server Hailey was so kind and knowledgeable of the menu. One of the most fun times I've had at a restaurant in a while. The "features" were delicious. The stuffed pork chop was an unexpected favorite at the table. We also had the Lobster Bisque- yum! I will definitely be back soon- especially if Hailey is working! I came on a Sunday morning and although the place was jam packed, the food came out quick and was piping hot! Place was understanding and very helpful to allergies and dietary restrictions of the table. See you soon Longfellow! read more

Patio seating was lovely and we were fortunate enough to be seated immediately!! Brussel sprouts appetizer was phenomenal! Kids pancakes were tasty. Meatloaf portion was huge and good. Grilled salmon was good. The grilled asparagus on the side was very tasty! All our drinks were terrific! Our server, Tyler, was friendly and gave great recommendations. read more

I've been to the Longfellow Grill a couple of times to meet colleagues for a mid day work meeting. I have enjoyed the experience each time. Parking is usually easy, although I typically end up street parking despite the parking lot. Food is good. They also have cocktails so it's a great place to meet with lots of options depending on purpose of your visit. The patio looks great,overlooking the River (although on a rather busy street), however, I haven't sat on the patio yet. The booths allow some privacy and quietness for holding meetings and conversation. I will definitely keep coming back. read more

The wings tasted like upscale North Dakota campfires - it's the best way I can describe it. Teriyaki with sassy heat on the barbecue... these guys don't see the deep fryer! Literally was all the way home before I saw the sauce on the side of my face! Service was almost as good as the food/gin and tonic; definitely worth a second visit. read more

Landed two amazingly friendly, enthusiastic and charming waiters. These ones happened to serve us in the course of our dining. Our own designated waiter was more formal and task- oriented but that's okay. Food: had the breakfast bowl and sweet potato fries- excellent 10/10 Ambience: 8/10 truly preferred outdoors seating.. indoors seemed rather frenzied, perhaps even a little too loud for conversation. The waitlist goes quite fast as well so that's a great bonus even on a busy weekend. Service: 8/10 as I said will largely depend on the person Overall: greatly recommend read more

Loved this place! We visited for dinner and the first thing we noticed was the great outdoor seating. It was a little too cool for me to enjoy it, but now that I have a student at the U, I'll be visiting here more than this time. There were 3 of us for dinner and we had no reservation so we scored a high top table at the bar. There were plenty of drink options (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) and we were all happy with those. Hubby and son #4 opted for burgers while I chose the breakfast option. It came with a salad which was fresh, but I couldn't get over the salad with eggs and hash browns. Lecture me about it later. Since we were seated int he bar, the bartender was our server. He did a great job of juggling us and the people seated at the bar. He had some great suggestions for appetizers as well as drinks. We will make it a point to stop in here on our next visit. I want to sit on that patio! read more

Always a great time! This is one of my favorite places to brunch! I used to come here in college, and I moved away, but came back and came here for a celebratory post- engagement brunch!

My family and I love this restaurant! It's an upscale menu in a bar with outside or inside seating, at Lake Street and the Mississippi River! Order the Brussel Sprout appetizer! It's roasted brussel sprouts with toasted sliced almonds and goat cheese, and is yummy! We also recommend breakfast (all day), salads, tacos, a carnitas bowl, and many other eclectic menu items, all done with flare and very tasty! Or just sit on the patio and have a drink while you listen to live music with your friends. read more

We decided to stop in for dinner at this super-popular neighborhood spot. We were continuing our summer quest for the best patio for outdoor dining in the twin cities. And while they do have a big, nice patio and big diner-inspired food at this place, the service on the Tuesday night we were there was VERY underwhelming. It started with an overly optimistic wait time given by the host - TIP: USE YELP TO GET ON THEIR WAIT LIST BEFORE YOU ARRIVE - then continued with long waits for a server, slow drink service, and long waits for food. I ordered a 2nd drink that actually arrived AFTER I was done eating - although to her credit, the server didn't charge me for it. And the water glasses were never topped off or refilled - one of my personal litmus tests on service. The food was fine, but nothing special. I had the chicken roulade based on the servers recommendation which was rather bland and not all that visually appealing. Similarly, the avocado flatbread also seemed flavorless. Perhaps we caught them on an off night - people seem to love this place online, but for me on that night, it was just "ok". read more

Went for brunch on a Sunday. Tons of outdoor seating. You can tell they're getting creative. I go to free house a lot downtown and the menu seemed to be pretty much exactly the same. I know they're both in the blue plate restaurant group, but I wasn't expecting an exact replica. This didn't both me too much because the food was delicious. Enough to fill you up but not to leave you so stiff you need to be rolled out. I'd go back for sure. read more

I just ate in their dining room. I had to ask them to wipe our table of dust and debris after we sat dowm. I ordered the Cubana, but they were out of that. I then ordered the Blue Plate Burger, medium rare, and got a dried well done burger on a bun that was so dry that it was crumbling apart. I pointed this out to the server and no compensation was offered. This is my last trip to the Longfellow! read more

I love the variety of foods they have here! It's not too much where I'm overwhelmed but it all looks so good that I try to switch it up. The staff has always been very friendly and helpful when I go. I love sitting outside here on nice days. My favorite meal has to be this chipotle-like bowl. It's super delicious and I love coming back to here for it! read more

This was my first time at moms Longfellow. I chose to get the eggs and toast. It was good and I was glad they had wheat bread. That being said a lot of things on the menu sounded better but were way over priced in my opinion, like 16.50 for fish tacos...yikes. I know things are expensive in the cities but some of the things seemed really steep. My friend got the chilaquiles and said they were very good. Overall it was a cute little spot and the food was good but I wouldn't have to rush here again. read more

I've been coming to this place for a while to meet with friends. They have a nice patio and indoor seating is comfy. Staff are funny and efficient. I will say they have off days here and there where staff are clearly overwhelmed. They offer a nice variety menu including kids plates. Breakfast, lunch, dinner and drinks... all a block from River Road. Parking lot is SMALL so street parking is open in the area. read more

Dinner on a Monday night hit the spot. Delish drinks--my Goldeneye was a lemony, refreshing cocktail. Cheese curd appetizer was gone in a flash because no one could resist just one more bite. I picked the steak & pierogies. Perfectly cooked medium rare beef & flavorful pierogies with plenty of crispy fried onions. You wouldn't be sad if you chose the parm-encrusted grilled cheese my niece wolfed down either. And you'd better save room for the peanut butter pie thoughtfully garnished with a crumbled Butterfinger after it was enrobed in chocolate ganache. read more

I live less than a mile from Longfellow's Grill and have been there many times before this, but I have only felt inclined to write you now. This particular day not a lot was going right. I will spare you the dramatics and/or theatrics of my petty life, but this day every little drop in the cup was accumulating fast. I came to Longfellow's because it was my favorite (close) place and I needed to meet up with someone important (to me). The cliff notes of the story is that I got stood up, again, by this person. My adorable waitress that night on the patio with my dog in tote, was so kind. For whatever reason my verbal vomit confessed my situation to my situation to her. She was the little ray of sunshine in my dull cloudy day. I like to say, when I was working in food services, "You can get a beer anywhere, but the service and people make you keep coming back." If most of your employees are like Annalise, I will definitely make an effort to come back to Longfellow's again and again... The fish tacos and crabcakes eggs benedict are fabulous, try to keep the cost lower. I don't want to be a 'typical' millennial buying toast and avocado read more

Longfellow Grill - Fish tacos. Yum!! - American Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Longfellow is one of my all-time favorite brunch spots in the Twin Cities area. I have tried their farmers breakfast, breakfast burritos, and Nashville Fried Chicken and have been impressed with everything! I am particularly fond of their farmers breakfast as I am someone who loves a variety of savory options when it comes to breakfast, and I feel like this dish had all of them. I've had no bad experiences in terms of service, and all of our waiters/waitresses have been excellent. The host/hostess always makes me feel like me getting seated is a priority and I have never had to wait more than 10 minutes. I personally love sitting outside as it is right by the river so you get an amazing view. Autumn is especially beautiful as they have many trees in the area and it is gorgeous to look at. Parking can be a bit tricky since their lot is pretty small and the surrounding streets are pretty busy but if you go at the right time, it isn't too bad. I overall highly recommend the spot, mainly for brunch, but there dinner and lunch meals are good as well. read more

When we want a good Sunday brunch with good service and food, we hit up Longfellow Grill. In the summer, the patio is fun and BUSY. Be sure to make reservations! I enjoy seeing the teamwork and staff are friendly, attentive, and always willing to got the extra mile. As a former restaurant manager, I can appreciate a team that works together, the manager included. I usually get the Farmer's Breakfast. Luckily they let me skip the caramelized onions. They also do a great eggs benny. Bloody Marys? I think yes. It also is a nice place to go for a dinner out. A great place to meet up with friends or family. Something for everyone! read more

Broad list of choices especially for breakfast. The American Breakfast was done to perfection. Personable and excellent service by Amber!

Great food and wonderful service from the team! My server Amy was great. Would go back and sit outside.

First time here for brunch with some friends. Make sure you call ahead at least an hour, there is always a wait and they don't take reservations. They have a small lot in the back that is shared with other retailers so be prepared to find street parking. We were seated pretty quickly since we had called ahead to reserve our time. They have a wall with coat hooks so you don't have to leave it behind your chair if you want some space. I would like to come back when it's warmer to get to experience the outside patio area. Brunch menu was pretty good and they have seasonal specials as well. They have a full bar which is always a big plus to me to have your brunch drinks. Our group had mimosas, bloody Mary's and Irish Coffees (not all together). I ended up going with the Killer Banana Waffle (love the name right there) with a side of bacon. Who can say no to bacon? The bacon was thick and all sorts of goodness and the banana waffle were super good and the sauce on top was great and not too sweet. They also put a grilled banana on the side and great presentation points there. I would probably think to not pour all the syrup on the waffle next time since I am a slower eater (especially while catching up with friends) and the waffle had soaked up all the goodness and made it too soggy for me at the end of my meal. I have heard they are a great spot to come for a Happy hour so a definite must come back for some other times of the day. read more
