Been coming here for 46 years when Larry owned it. Was visiting my parents and we went for dinner. My mom has celiac and informed the waitress, she was very friendly and was accommodating for my mom. She understood what my mom needed and let us know what mannings could to accommodate patrons who had the disease. The burgers and fries were cooked to perfection along with the onion rings. This is a place I yet to eat at when I com home for my yearly visit. read more

Which a fun place to meet up with friends! Some of us have been going to this establishment for decades! We all stopped here on a Sunday for bloodies and good company. Both were satisfied that day. Mannings serves up a mean Bloody Mary with your choice of a chaser. The skewer was delish and the drink was perfectly spiced. Stop by anytime...def recommend! read more

Manning's Restaurant - American Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Pretty standard dive bar fare! It was deceptively large on the inside--we went for the Vikings/Lions game and there was plenty of seating available. They serve breakfast all day, so I opted for my go-to, a corned beef hash ($12.99). The corned beef itselff was pretty standard as far as they go, but I did like the side option of toast or pancakes--and I obviously chose the pancakes! The only bummer was my over-easy eggs were definitely more like over-medium/over-hard, but it was also a pretty busy night so I wasn't not expecting it. Our server was super nice but just pulled really thin throughout the night (it seemed like they only had 3-4 waitstaff there for what seemed to be a pretty sizable crowd?) so service took a little longer--overall, the food and service were pretty standad, but if I went back in the future, I'd probably stick to ordering a drink from the bar and munching on the self-serve free popcorn (which was very tasty and fresh!) read more

Manning's Restaurant - Corned beef hash ($12.99). Side choice of pancakes or toast, obviously had to go with pancakes. - American Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Quick service and the food and draft beer were solid. Cool history also! I would definitely go back

Fun place to have dinner before a game. Happy hour everyday from 2-6. Prices are reasonable and food is pretty good. Staff is very kind. Food takes a little while to come out. Obviously a well loved place. Rock music and plenty of tables and booths. Highly recommend. Appropriate for groups and families! read more

old school vibe with fantastic service. i ordered the carnitas pork tacos with chips, I recommend ordering 6 drinks first. taco included meat and nasty cheese sauce. first thin, scrape goo off meat. second toss the Walmart tortilla. The picco was the best part of the meal, I recommend ordering a full cup of picco for the taco and help choke down the chips. Great bar close food. Beer was cold and service was excellent. read more

Listen. We had the most cheerful, helpful server on Thursday 8/8. She was server #11, blond, fantastically patient with a gaggle of kiddos and adults. And to top it off, the food was good. Hubs used to go with his family when he was a kid, and has fond memories of Manning's. Whenever we're in the Twin Cities we try to visit. The popcorn does not disappoint. Loved the tater tots. A great kids menu with breakfast at all hours (huge hit with the gaggle of kiddos). The adults enjoyed their dinners as well: Hawaiian Chicken sandwich, shrimp basket, sirloin, and bacon cheeseburger. Thanks Manning's and #11! read more

You definitely get your moneys worth when you eat at Manning's! I appreciate that they serve breakfast all day. The eggs were fluffy, the bacon was crisp & juicy, the tater tots were perfectly crisp, and the pancakes were delicious! My friend got the California burger, it was big and came with tons of fries. If you are hungry and want good quality food go to Manning's! There is a small parking lot, the place is small but cozy and we had great service. read more

Good: great location. popcorn. TouchTunes. Bad: Service. Manager/Server waited on us. Never checked in, no refills and no plate clearing. Hella long wait times! 20 mins for onion rings! Ugly: Food quality. Manager served burned onion rings and dry $18 burger. Sent one back. It feels like it's under new ownership. Sad to see. With others options nearby, we will go where we are appreciated. read more

Manning's Restaurant - Quesadilla Burger - American Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Place hasn't changed much since I was in college in the 80's and hung out here. In town for a wedding and stopped in for the first time since '05. Had burgers and we were impressed. The best I can say about this place is that it's a dive bar without the annoying hipsters read more

I have been going there for over 30 years still one of the best in town for good The onion rings are out of this world You will never leave hungry read more

Manning's Restaurant is THE place to go if: 1) You're looking for creative takes on classic dishes! I noshed on the Meatball Dip - a hoagie roll with meatballs topped with Provolone cheese and coleslaw, served with French fries and marinara to dip in. Super tasty and perfect portion size! 2) You're craving breakfast at ANY hour of the day! That's right my fellow Yelpers, you heard me right, they serve breakfast all damn day! Plus they offer a 32 oz. Bloody Mary for a mere $8.95. Be still my heart! While I showed restraint on sipped on the 16 oz Bloody; that 32 oz will be my unicorn! 3) You love supporting family owned businesses with a TON of history! Manning's has been passed down through the family. They boast regulars of over 50 years and employees that have been with them for over a decade! Serious loyalty here folks. 4) You like a good deal! They offer a variety of specials including lunch, happy hour, and 2-4-1 deals - just to name a few! Check their website for the deets or ask your friendly server! I'd def recommend checking out Manning's Restaurant next time you find your tummy grumbling and you're in the Northeast neighborhood. It does not disappoint! read more

Always a good spot for a "home cooked" restaurant meal. Can't pass up the turkey, mashed, and gravy! Nothing fancy, but always good food and service in a little neighborhood bar. We've been going here off and on for over 45 years. Great baskets too! read more

The student burger special was a really awesome deal for some quality food- especially on Monday's. The tots were AMAZING (so crispy & good) + the fries were nice and seasoned. Free popcorn is a great bonus too (as you can see we devoured it all quickly)! My one complaint was the atmosphere was pretty dark & musty but we sat in the bar side rather than the restaurant. Also, I walked but pretty sure there is a parking lot in the back which is nice. All in all a quality place to go to get great burgers for cheap. read more

My son and I stopped here on our way to the gopher game. Food was good. I will come back again.

Manning's is a great casual sit-down dinning option! They have a fairly extensive menu & seem to execute it well. Our group of four came in on a Sunday night & were promptly greeted by friendly service. Service was great all around, not too pushy but available whenever you are in need. I had Moscow Mules & the meatless spaghetti dinner. Both were great & served promptly. The spaghetti was $10.50 & included bread and a large salad. The rest of my group had hot wings, a taco salad, and a Hawaiian chicken sandwich. Everyone was pleased with their food. Great prices, great food. While it's a low key place & doesn't necessarily blow you out of the water at first glance, the food is above average quality & the service was very prompt and friendly. Will likely be returning & I look forward to it! read more

Just one of those places for me. Manning' s is in my family's heavy duty burger rotation along with Matt's, Shamrock's, and Blue Door. I A veritable Murderer's Row of burgers right there. The Mannings offering is a pretty straightforward bar burger compared to the others, to the point you have to question why we consider it equal to such fast company. It just is. Never ever disappointed. Onion rings are similarly "what's the big deal?" Might even be prepackaged. Yet my family can't imagine life without them. Ambiance? You don't bring people you want to impress to Mannings. But you do bring the people you want to be with there. My family must have been there 50+ times, eating the same burger and crinkle fries you can get anywhere. And each time we know we'll be back soon. Go Mannings. read more

Yes, I'm reviewing Manning's on Rex Manning Day. Do you like the supper club vibe but with edible food? Do you want a series of Midwestern cliches but with edible food? Do you want wood paneling up the wazoo but with edible food? Try Manning's unpretentious and legitimately good fare. And who doesn't like seasoned fries or pancakes bigger and fluffier than the human head? Don't try to parse how fluffy the human head is--you're missing the point. How pointy is the human head? Who cares? Eat a pancake! read more

I love that they added two for ones!! Super excited that they are building a patio too!!

Used to be a cool spot. Absolutely went to crap with the new owner, Tony. The staff is great, I miss the bartender Andre. The food is over-priced and not that good at all. Used to be a great neighborhood bar, Tony has made it clear that this place is anything BUT a neighborhood bar. Never going back. read more

An excellent family restaurant. It's really an East Coast bar or tavern. The hamburgers are very good the onion rings are excellent, Not an extensive tap beer selection but good beers. Family owned and it shows. I've been coming here for 40 years and intend to keep coming read more

We happened to stop in here on Monday. I remember coming here as a child with my parents. We always ordered the chicken dinners. I am loving this perfect little place all over again. Best burgers in the Twin Cities, no question! Love the bar area and the red booths. Literally just ate the rest of my burger last night and it was just as good. That says it all. My husband and I are going to be new regular's here. Getting sick of the same old places in our immediate neighborhood. Off work tomorrow; going to Manning's again! Addition to my review: Went for lunch again today. Chicken dinner is absolutely outstanding. Stephenie, our server is wonderful. The very small gin and tonic's were a bit spendy, but with food this fantastic, I can skip the drink. 02/04/2019. UPDATE: The best fried chicken in Minneapolis is gone! Manning's has quit serving their chicken dinners. We are so disappointed. Where can a person go for chicken as wonderful as Manning's made? read more

The burgers are very good - we had a cheeseburger and a bacon/cheese burger. The burgers come with either chips, fries, or tater tots, so we tried the tots and fries. Fries were not memorable (actually bland tasting), but the tots rocked! The server was very nice and friendly. This is a great "dive" bar/burger joint...a hidden gem. read more

The ladies who serve you are the cutest, sweetest, most efficient grandmas ever! We were warned upon our arrival that it might be a little longer than usual because there was a large party in the back, but we didn't mind so we ordered asap. It was just around noon and we ordered breakfast. It came out fast, hot, and so fresh. And did I mention DELICIOUS?! I'm so happy this place was right where I needed it when I needed it most. I wish I actually lived in this neighborhood! read more

And the award for "Nicest Bathroom in a Dive Bar" goes to......Manning's! Seriously. I felt like I walked into a whole other world that was clean, new and didn't smell terrible! Way to go Manning's, this pushes you from "A-Okay" to "Yay! I'm a Fan"! We walked into a room where the median age was 52 - all there for dinner. Uh-oh. Not what we had hoped for. But the waitress (who, statistically speaking was the outlier) must have recognized the look we had on our faces. She quickly pointed us to the bar - where the median age dropped slightly. But at least they weren't eating dinner at 5pm - this was a happy hour crowd. This was our crowd. As with all my favorite watering holes - Grain Belt Premium was on tap and cold. We settled in to a booth for cheese curds and a salad (It was a strange craving...I know). Both of which were good....for a dive bar. The place was comfortable and the service was friendly and good. I hear there is free popcorn and good happy hour specials - but I guess that is for another day. Manning's is a casual comfortable "old shoe" of the Como neighborhood. A place that you can relax on a Friday, and will be appealing to all ages. Next time I am in the neighborhood, I'm definitely heading back there. read more

I really like Manning's. I believe I've been before but just went again for the first time in ages. The place is just such an American-classic type of joint, a good local watering hole and restaurant that cranks out the good food and good times day after day and until 2am! Props to Manning's for making life a little easier for the rest of us. The place is so cozy. We sat in the middle room or whatever away from the bar. The lighting was dim and it was a great kind of dim: relaxing and unobtrusive. This is a great atmosphere for drinking but also for that 2pm breakfast the day after a night of drinking. The food is slightly spendy but you get a TON of it, and it's good. The onion rings are really unique and while I had a couple minor wishes with them (a bit more crunch/crispiness and a little more salt), they were delicious. I also had the corned beef hash and that came with at least a half-pound of hashbrowns, eggs and pancakes. So, BEWARE ORDERING TOO MUCH FOOD. You'll just have to cut yourself off and 'get it next time'. Oh yeah, the service was spectacular. I would have to say it was much better than most restaurants. The waitresses were on point with refills; there was never a doubt or waiting on it; as soon as you needed one: BAM! That's how it should be. I think there was an older lady there making sure the waitresses were attentive and the formula worked wonders. That really pushed Manning's up near the five-star level for me. If I go during the NFL season and it indeed has the Packers on with sound, it will be an instant five-star rating for Manning's. read more

Haven't had the food here at all, but have done an immense amount of drinking here before. Everday after 11:00pm, they have their regular special of 2 for 1 drinks..and free popcorn! It's a pretty neat get-together spot to meet up with people, the bartenders are pretty nice, the service was great...and those drinks...YES! Overall their drink prices are pretty cheap too. I went ther last night, actually, for the 2 for 1's and got two vodka sodas for only $3.85 (which made for a pretty happy ending) I only wish I'd live closer to this place. read more

I went to Mannings after my boyfriend has been talking about it for a quite a few years. We went, and I was soooo satisfied that my toes were full when we left. I had the Hot Roast Beef Sandwich, it was a Sunday when we went, and it felt like I was eating Grandma's home cook'n! The Roast beef was cooked perfectly, a little pink and not chewy. The gravy was perfect and over flowing my plate with delight. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. My boyfriend had the Jumbo burger, with three slices of cheese and fried onions. It was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G as well. It was worth sticking my teeth into. The only thing is that fries don't come with the burger they're additional, but if you decide to get then make sure they're seasoned. YUMMY! Didn't drink, but heard they have the best tap beer around! Very clean and refreshing tasting. It is a definite that I will be returning for some home cook'n goodness and a beer! read more

Manning's is becoming a nostalgic spot for me.....it's in the making - I can feel it! Probably because this Minneapolis spot is latching onto the similar spots I ate at elsewhere and blending itself with those memories of low-key sports bars and helping mom and dad do pull tabs. Ahh yes, those memories :) I haven't been here other than lunch, but it's pretty quiet other than a few sprinkled here and there. Both times I've been, it's been the same lovely waitress, too. I was told they're known for their burgers, so that's what I've done. And both times I can't complain - delicious! Hit up the seasoned fries while you're at it and you can't go wrong here. read more
