Seriously good food in a city that is truthfully lacking. From breakfast to brunch to craft coffee shop, you're covered here. I started coming here during high school. Not much has changed. In the greatest of ways. Sandwiches figure prominently on the menu, with good reason. Prices are reasonable. The only downside, in my opinion, is the hours. If you can't get here relatively early in the day, you'll be saddened with a closed sign. But this probably helps drive the demand, to be honest. There are no other places in the area that are zeroed in on what these guys are doing very well, so kudos to the staff and management of this place. Can't wait to return.

Kari's Rating 9.5/10…read more We stopped here on our way up north. We also getting gas. This cute quaint little bakery has everything from reds to rolls to custards to doughnuts. It was so cute and family owned-I asked the woman working what's the most popular item and she said the caramel rolls. So of course I had to grab one of those. I also got the banana, walnut bread, A, custard filled doughnut with chocolate dollops on top, a glazed doughnut and an apple fritter. The custard chocolate glazed donut was perfect. As someone who is not a really big chocolate fan, these dollop of chocolate were perfectly spaced, and just gave the slightest hint of decadence. The caramel roll, wow I can definitely see how this is the most popular item at the bakery. You could tell the caramel sauce with slow roasted, and made from real butter. It was absolutely perfect. It was not as sweet as you think it would be as it didn't taste like there was a syrup, rather than a handmade almost butterscotch flavor to the caramel. I'm so happy the woman inside recommended this one! To learn that this bakery is just a one off family owned restaurant, made it that much more special. Everything I got there was absolutely incredible and wow. I'm so lucky to have been driving up this way on my vacation! Hopefully it won't be the last time I ever come here, but if it is-please bury me with that custard doughnut.

No trip to Hinckley is complete without a stop at Tobies Restaurant & Bakery. For generations, it…read morehas been a must-visit destination for travelers heading, making it much more than just a restaurant. It's a Minnesota tradition. As soon as I announced I was going to Hinckley everyone who had been told me I just had to try Tobie's. What makes Tobies special is the combination of comfort food, an incredible bakery, and the nostalgic feeling that comes with walking through the doors. Fresh-baked breads, pastries, pies, cookies, and their famous caramel rolls line the bakery shelves, while their signature cornbread is a favorite that many visitors take home. Be sure to browse the gift shop, where you'll find locally made products, snacks, and their popular popcorn blends that make great road trip treats or souvenirs. Whether you're stopping for breakfast before exploring the area, grabbing lunch on your way to a Hinckley Knights game, or picking up baked goods for the drive home, Tobies is part of the experience. Our favorites were the apple fritter and the caramel roll. We also picked up bread and English muffins. If we had any more room we would have tried the ice cream, but there is always next time.

Leader was incredible to our group of 13, and I couldn't recommend them more!…read more We were in town for a bachelorette party and wanted to stop here for brunch on the way home. We called ahead to make a reservation, which I highly recommend because they opened at 9 a.m. on Sunday, and by 9:05 the restaurant was already full with people waiting. Our server, Lily, was excellent! Our whole table wanted to make sure I left a review for her specifically. She was so respectful and incredibly polite when we asked her to take a group photo. The food was delicious. We had a couple of vegans/vegetarians at our table, and while they had a few accommodating dishes, I really wish they offered a vegan meat alternative. Lily mentioned they normally don't do substitutions, but she let one of the girls swap the meat for hash browns on the eggs Benedict--she was awesome! Also, the hash browns were divine. The restaurant is attached to a few small shop, which gave us the perfect post brunch shopping experience. The whole place is definitely worth a stop!

As a couple other reviews have mentioned, the cheesecake MAKES this place, and if you don't like cheesecake, well, I'd say don't bother going, but then you'd miss out on all the delicious FOOD and DRINKS they have to offer! I'm personally fond of the Reuben, and one other sandwich I can't think of the name of, but it's soaked in brandy or something... ‍ And I don't drink alcohol, or I'd have something to say about THAT, but I do know they have a variety of libations on tap, if that's what you're into. personally, I go for the non-alcoholic Shirley Temple, which is served with a and a !

Bellied up to the bar, and ordered drinks from a very nice bartender, Menu was righteous, oh boy, this is gonna be great! Downhill fast from there. Couldn't even taste the vodka in the cocktail. No IPA available, but beer was cold. We ordered 3 items off the menu and they all were practically inedible. Cheese curds were frozen from a factory, not worth the cheese curd calories :-( Soup was pure mush, but flavorful. Nothing like a mushy dumpling. Chicken salad tasted like chemicals, probably from french bottled dressing or lettuce soaked in chemicals. Yes, it took awhile to get our food, and no, not many other people in there. Hmm, the deck looks awesome. Bartender was nice enough to take the soup off our bill. Maybe she went and tasted it for herself. F I R S T T I M E L A S T T I M E

There was a wait with about five parties ahead of us, but I was honestly impressed with how quickly they moved through the list. We were seated in less than 10 minutes on a busy Saturday. I tried one of the featured breakfast sandwiches, the Breakfast Denver Sandwich. It was $13 and honestly delicious. For the price, though, a side of hashbrowns or fruit would have been appreciated. The biggest reason I'm leaving 3 stars....service. I genuinely felt bad for the wait staff. They were trying, but were so clearly understaffed, especially considering they advertise they recently renovated their space to add more tables. It took over 10 minutes for us to be greeted, or offered a drink. Once our order was in, our waiter tried to be attentive, but simply couldn't keep up. Would I give Merlin's another chance? Sure. We thought the food was great. But, I wouldn't go out of my way, or rush back.
