We opted to sit at the bar because it is always a good place to pick up the vibes of staff and watch preparations. There is an open kitchen for all to see and Perk Up was meticulous. We shared a heavenly cinnamon roll, followed by the best breakfast skillet we have ever eaten. The skillet was accompanied by whole grain toast that was delicious with their proprietary jam. We will hit this spot next time we are in Minneapolis!

This was our first visit and we really enjoyed it. The inside is really nice and bright. They had a…read morehuge outside patio. We had both the biscuits and gravy and breakfast poutine. Both were good but the biscuits and gravy was the favorite. It came with a huge portion of potatoes and the gravy had good flavor. The poutine was good but the hollandaise soaked into the fries quickly and the scrambled eggs were a little overcooked. You can tell they use good quality ingredients and everything came out piping hot. There is plenty of parking in the lot as well.

They were moist, had a little bit of saltiness to them (I'm guessing from butter), so good even without syrup. On the other hand tho, the egg Benedict was dreadful. The hollandaise sauce seems to be the problem. Literally tasted like hospital food, 0/10 for the Benedict. I would also switch out the Canadian bacon for better quality. I also wish the waiter had been more lively and attentive. Overall I would come back, literally for the pancakes!!

I just wrote a review earlier this week, but I feel the need to follow up. So I went back and got…read morethe same Farmers Skillet to-go. It was still amazing! I still recommend getting it over hashbrowns, over-easy eggs, but this time I did hollandaise sauce and that was actually pretty good. I need to make a correction for my previous review because I feel bad. Buckboard does not charge a credit card processing fee. For some reason, I thought that I was charged one earlier in the week. So why is this still four stars? Well...this time the service/staff was less than ideal. When I called to place my order on the phone, the lady sounded very annoyed. Like the entire time I was placing my order - I felt uncomfortable and like I shouldn't be calling. When I got inside the restaurant to pick up my order, I'm 99% sure it was the same lady that took my phone order. She again seemed very annoyed and I felt very uncomfortable for being there. Like I had done something wrong. This time I also wasn't offered any jellies or hot sauce. I didn't feel like I should just ask because...I don't know, maybe those aren't supposed to be given out for free and it was just a nice thing the staff did for me earlier in the week? But I really missed having some strawberry jam with my toast. One thing I love about the toast when you get it to-go, they wrap it in a separately to keep it from getting soggy. I really liked this. Overall, I'm really sorry I made a mistake in my previous review about the credit card processing fee. I wish the service would've been better this time and from other reviews, it seems like it's definitely mixed. I still recommend giving Buckboard a shot, but don't go into a thinking it's going to be the best restaurant in the world. I really appreciate that ownership is looking at reviews!

It was possibly the best steak and eggs breakfast I've had, chicken fried, that is. Coffee, average. Prices, average. Overall, this place is a little Oasis of Fine Food. But you probably won't be riding here on a bicycle.

On my last visit in June, my mom and I split the lobster pasta and the summer strawberry salad, and both were absolutely delicious.

It offers unique, high-quality food, kind and attentive service, and is always a highlight of my trips home. I highly recommend it!

We have tried various birria tortas. The bread is wonderful. Nice and soft. The meat if tender, flavorful, and plentiful! The consommé is flavorful, not the best, but very good. Also enjoyed the house white wine. It was a prior McDonald's and the ambience could be improved. My impression could be a little negative because two women were on a FaceTime with a friend on speaker and screaming into the phone. Very annoying but obviously nothing to take away from the great food.

We expected it to be packed, but we were seated right away. The restaurant wasn't overly crowded or noisy, which made it easy to relax, enjoy our meal, and actually have a conversation. Our waitress was incredibly friendly and professional. I wish I had gotten her name before we left because she provided great service throughout our visit. I started with the iced lavender oat milk latte, and it was delicious. We also shared the famous monkey bread, and it definitely lives up to all the hype I've seen online! We ordered it with both the cream cheese and caramel, and it was amazing. The monkey bread was incredibly soft, fresh, and the portion was huge. I've had monkey bread at other local coffee shops before, but the texture here is on a completely different level. For breakfast, I ordered the French toast, and it was made well. I appreciated that it wasn't overloaded with whipped cream. My husband liked the crispy bacon and his chocolate chip pancakes he said they were rich and fluffy. We'll definitely be back. Everything from the food and atmosphere to the service exceeded our expectations. This place is simply too good not to return!

So I found Benedict's online and thought it looked like a good choice. The restaurant itself is really bright open and airy. Lots of natural light and high wood beams. The restaurant employs an online wait list, which I love. So you join the wait list online, it tells you how long your wait is and the you can plan your arrival to minimize your wait. I was surprised that on a Saturday, we walked right in and were seated... it wasn't all that crowded (that said, there was a big No Kings rally that day so people might have been busy). At any rate, we were greeted and seated immediately at a nice table. I enjoyed the many options on the menu and also loved that you could order a single specialty pancake if you wanted one. I ordered the classic benedict. My husband got the tot hash. We ordered a strawberry nutella pancake to share. The pancake was good, though honestly the nutella strawberry topping was a bit meh. My husband said his tot hash was not what he expected (they seem to make their own tots and then deep fry them) but he did like it. My benedict was decent, but there was way too much ham and not enough hollandaise. I hate when people are stingy with the hollandaise. Coffee was good and strong. My peach mimosa was fine but honestly pretty small -- I'd be surprised if it was 8 oz. Service was OK. Nothing super major to complain about, but my mimosa wasn't delivered until I was almost through my first cup of coffee. The waitress clearly just forgot about it. She basically said so and apologized. I noted that many tables had lovely little bottles of water for when you wanted to refill your glass, but we did not receive one. It also bothered me a bit that there was a lot of "stuff" on the floor. Trash, bits of food, etc. I know that things get really busy at brunch spots on the weekends. But someone really needed to go around with a broom or a vacuum. It's just not what I expect from a dining establishment where I'm going to drop $80 on breakfast for two.
