    Had a lovely lunch/brunch. Came at 10:30 so ordered the rhubarb French toast as a starter while we waited for the lunch menu to start since I wanted a burger. Service was friendly and prompt, and the space was lovely.

    Brought my mom to brunch while she was in town and sat at the bar. The service was a little slow, but the food made up for it. I had a latte and the avocado toast and my mom had the traditional breakfast. The avocado toast was unique and tasty - but pretty small. My mom enjoyed her breakfast - most notably the bacon and toast. The breakfast potatoes were seasoned very well. The overall ambience is very cute inside. I have and would go back to try more items and to go for dinner.

    I really like Lynette. It has quickly become one of my go to breakfast/lunch places when I'm in a pinch or looking for a reliable place to eat. Parking is limited to the street, but I've never had to walk more than half a block. Food wise, I love the harvest danish (though all of the their pastries are good and I believe are made in house? Someone correct me if I'm wrong). The breakfast sandwich is also stellar. Service wise, this place has been great 9 times out of 10. I had a long wait for food once on a weekend, but oh well. Not that big of a deal. They have a large patio for the summer which is lovely -- as is the interior -- love the large booths!

    Returned to Lynette for brunch following a not so pleasant first experience this summer where I felt compelled to address and did in my initial review. Following that review I was contacted by the GM and offered a chance to return with a complimentary gift card. Today,I finally returned to use said gift card and to enjoy a nice neighborhood brunch with my family. Contrary to my previous visit we were pleasantly welcomed and led right to our table. Our server Austin was relaxed but attentive and wasn't afraid to give his opinion on the brunch menu (which is always welcomed by me). It was also lovely to see that the staff had become more diverse since my first visit there. Service this time around felt more like a team working together to ensure a great experience is had by all. And Billie who appeared to be a manager was a breath of fresh air and stepped in when Austin was busy with the other tables in our seating area. We all thoroughly enjoyed our food but agreed we would want it seasoned more generously. Missed pictures of our apps that included the kale salad with peanut vinaigrette, duck fat fries and the Japanese tempura shrimp - favs of those were the duck fat fries w aioli and the tempura shrimp! We also got the dishes pictured below. Very enjoyable and delicious! We live in the neighborhood and hope they dial the seasoning up some but definitely plan to return!

    Complementary dairy free ice cream cones.

    One of the best smash burgers in town!!! Duck fat fries are great. Nice outdoor patio.

    Lynette has the perfect vibe for a neighbor restaurant. It is casual enough that families with young kids, groups of friends, and couples having a date night all feel welcome. The menu was interesting, there are a large variety of cuisines represented across the dishes. Our meal ranged from Japanese inspired brussel sprouts to French inspired steamed mussels. The dishes were prepared well and and were all tasty. The server seemed busy, but did a good job coursing out our menu and checking in when they could. The soft serve ice cream cones for dessert were a fun touch!

    I went to Lynette in Minneapolis for a She's Invited brunch event, and it was such a fun and memorable experience. The vibe was stylish but comfortable, and our server Wayne made it even better ,he had fantastic recommendations and a fun, bubbly personality that really elevated the brunch. The drinks were a highlight the dirty martini was delicious and perfectly curated, with blue cheese stuffed olives that were the perfect touch. I also tried the Aperol Spritz, which was just okay compared to the martini, but still refreshing. For food, I had the avocado toast with over easy eggs. The flavors were great and the eggs were cooked perfectly, but the avocados weren't quite ripe enough, which threw off the texture a bit. Even so, the dish was still super tasty and satisfying. Overall, Lynette is a gem in Minneapolis between the excellent brunch cocktails, flavorful dishes, and Wayne's amazing service, I'd definitely come back (especially for that martini!).

    A good place to have some good food and drinks with friends or family. Service was a bit slow as they were full but it's worth the wait as long as you're not in a hurry. They have indoor and outdoor seating, street parking, and a flower or plant store across the street. A good place with a nice modern interior for casual dining.

    With easy reservations and a few big tables, this spot is a reliable brunch option for bigger groups. Especially if you want to get boozy or not because they have plenty of NA options too. Expect excellent service and delicious food options.

    Kale salad with chicken
    Kate M.

    Duck fat fries, kale salad, lamb meatball pizza all excellent! Don't skip the Brussels sprouts appetizer.

    My partner and I had a delightful dinner at Lynette on a Sunday evening. We didn't make reservations and they were able to accommodate us. Our server was kind and attentive. The meal was delicious and our dishes had some kick. We were doing some business planning and the atmosphere was perfect - not too loud, not too bright or too dark, and overall good vibes. The wine selection was also lovely - I enjoyed the sparkling rose and a glass of La Patience.

    I was on the light rail on a Saturday afternoon and I passed the Cardinal Tavern. The Cardinal…read moreTavern is a few feet from the light rail and I knew I needed to make a visit just from the outside look of the place. A few days later, my wife and I stopped by. We arrived around 400 PM and were quickly greeted and seated. Our waitress was friendly and a fantastic waitress. We had onion rings appetizer, wife had a Jucy Lucy, and I had a steak sandwich. She had a Miller Lite draft and I had a Budweiser draft. Both of us really enjoyed our meals. Portion sizes were strong. Waitress couldn't have been nicer and either the manager/owner stopped by three different times and talked to us about a repeat customer program they have in place. A very nice guy. This is definitely a locals favorite but we were welcomed in! There isn't anything fancy about the Cardinal Tavern but if you are looking for good food in a friendly environment, stop by. You will be glad you did.

    Dive bar 2 of 40 My…read moregoal this year is to hit at least 40 dive bars in 2026. My second stop is to hit up one of my old haunts from many years ago when I lived in S. MPLS. So here we are, 38th and Hiawatha. Not a lot has changed over the years, except maybe more selections on tap. walking in from the corner door takes you into a dimly light bar with enough to seat about 10 to 12 patrons. You will also notice there is tons of seating options in the bar and into the second room. Further back you will find the game room with a bunch of pool tables and a couple dart boards for the gaming folks. The vibe in here is typical neighborhood bar, it is relaxed, the patrons are just your regular easy going folks, and you can easily chat up folks here...maybe discover a new drinking buddy! We came in to do a little day drinking, play some pull-tabs and eat some food. First and foremost, winning a couple hundred in pull-tabs already makes this a fun place to hang...actually it would have been fun regardless. The food fare is your standard bar food, however they do serve breakfast, and the entrees I saw people woofing down, I'd hit this place up for breakfast. We opted to order the pork tenderloin and the sour cream and onion burger. Both were served on toast; the tenderloin on whole wheat with pickles and onions (you need to ask for onions) with a sizable breaded tenderloin. If you want a side I.e. coleslaw, cottage cheese, tots, French fries you need to order with your sandwich. The burger served on pumpernickel had fried onions on it with the sour cream. If I lived on the south side, I'd certainly make this my second home.
