My options for healthy, sustainable vegetarian food directly effected my poor grades and health within the first semester. I began becoming incredibly ill, and ended up being diagnosed with anemia. I would recommend no student to even live in Superblock for the sole reason that Centennial is the most non-accommodating dining hall in all of UMN. ALSO - WATCH OUT FOR UNCOOKED FOOD (Especially eggs!) I would give zero stars if I could.

The U values each meal at more than $10, I'd be hard pressed to eat here if you paid me.

Their hours are quite limited, only open 8-3 Tuesday-Sunday so no stopping there for dinner unfortunately but breakfast and lunch dishes are their specialty anyway. A very unassuming diner in a building that looks almost like a suburban house, this place will really surprise you. The service is quite quick and everything is very fast paced inside there. I ordered one of my favorite breakfast dishes - corned beef hash which came with a few eggs I ordered sunny side up. The corned beef hash was delicious and the eggs were perfectly runny while the whites were crisp. This corned beef hash and the one at Ideal Diner are my two favorite corned beef hashes in the metro. Highly recommend checking this out.

Oatmeal is served in a giant serving bowl. We asked for a half portion as it was for a child. The wait staff is so friendly and the food delivery is quick. It is an older space but feels welcoming. Be sure your entire party is present as you cannot be seated until they are. I love the blueberry pancake but can never finish it. My husband loves the country fried steak. Best to go with a few friends that are willing to mix and match so you can try everything without feeling like you are wasting anything. You WILL leave full.

Overall the food is good. Lamb shank is now something you have to ask for. One shank comes with the buffet. There is a small sign for it on top of the hood, but it's easy to miss since you're looking down at the trays. Falafel you may want to order from the menu so it comes hotter than what is set out in a tray. The only other item I can think of that is touch & go are the mussels at dinner time, which can be getting dried out and tough from being overcooked. Just dig around to find the pale, softer ones. If you don't have a big appetite you can order from the menu. There is some outdoor seating out front which is nice when the weather is good. The front-of-house staff have always been friendly, gracious. The only thing I miss is the fountain, which was removed when they finally needed more table space. If you're stuck on the south side, Marhaba on 28th & Nicollet has a family tie.

Everything seems fresh and homemade. I LOVE hot turkey sandwiches and consider myself a turkey sandwich snob because the quality of different restaurants vary so much. Carol's is the real deal with obviously hand-carved pieces of real turkey that are as good as Thanksgiving leftovers from your mom (assuming your mom was a great cook). The gravy, mashed potatoes, stuffing, and cranberry sauce were equally excellent. My wife had a tuna sandwich, and a cup of tomato soup. Service was quick and friendly. Although the inside of Carol's reminds you of Perkins, the food quality is consistently high. I have not been here for breakfast, but that seems to be another of their specialties. It's impressive to find an old-time, high quality, high variety diner experience in town (well, almost in town) and I'm so happy that places like Carol's still exist.

This review is going to be difficult to write because I have such mixed feelings. My last rating…read morewas a five-star review and parts of my wife's and I experience merit another five stars, but parts of the same experience merit a one-star. And that makes it difficult! Let's start with the positive... Their prime rib continues to be fantastic. It's meaty, flavorful, and juicy. After having some prime rib specials at other restaurants, I can really see that they quality varies. In addition, Dehn's dinner comes with excellent Parker-house rolls and butter, cup of au jus, and a baked potato -- all of which is good. It also comes with soup or salad. Their Beef Barley soup is one of the best version of beef barley soup that I've ever had. It's loaded with ingredients, the broth has a deep flavor and I have always enjoyed their version of it. So far, this is five star territory. However, on to the not so good... I ordered the prime rib medium rare and it was clearly medium to medium well done. Honestly, if you want medium rare, medium well done is a big disappointment. I asked the waitress for a more rare piece and when she returned she told me that the chef said the piece I got was from the center of the roast and was the rarest piece they had. Although they took $8 off the price, it was not a great experience and the meat just could have been much more juicy and tasty if they had cooked it properly. But there is more. My wife order the fried chicken and for the third time in a row, they said they didn't have it. (Dehn's, if you don't carry it, either take it off the menu or tell your guests about it before they order). My wife went with the grilled chicken breast, which arrived looking like and tasting like either a frozen piece of chicken, or a bad airline meal (for those of you who can remember that). It was really tasteless and dry. In addition to all of that, we waited 15 minutes to be seated in the nearly empty restaurant because (we were told) they were short staffed. In fact, there seemed to be one waitress and one kitchen staff person for the restaurant. Service was slow (although friendly by the person who wasn't really a waitress). So what's up with Dehn's? The area around the restaurant is turning from farm land to housing. The hours of the restaurant have been cut severely and they are now only open for dinner on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights. My gut tells me that they are "caretaking" the restaurant and that although they have been open since 1958, I doubt they are going to see 2028.

There were booths, tables, and bar seating - a variety that will work for small to big parties. There was an additional dining room for busier times and the parking lot was large enough to accommodate. Our server was so sweet and seemed to know a lot of people that were dining in her section so there's gotta be a good regular crowd (which is usually a promising sign). If the locals like it, it's probably worth a stop! Our friends that live nearby got breakfast plates. They said they come in often and the breakfast is always a hit. They also recommend the "build your own" old fashioned sandwich for dinner. I had the BLT on marble rye bread - perfectly toasted, the bacon was the right amount of crispy, the toppings were fresh. The tater tots (crispy, not super greasy) were a hit with the entire table, everyone kept nibbling on them even after they were full. Our meals were priced well for the amount of food per dish which is a big plus nowadays. They also have a good Bloody Mary to cure those Sunday blues! We will definitely be coming back again.
