First time here and the vibe was friendly and vibrant. I was surprised at the extensive menu that I…read morehad not experienced at other VFWs. They also have a decent selection of draft beers, so I ordered the Shiner Bock, an amber style, low carbonation beer that was delicious. I ordered the gyro with lettuce, chopped fresh tomato, and fries that tasted fresh, and the fries came out very hot, which is what I always hope for but rarely get. However, the pita bread was dry and split in half when I picked it up so I had to eat it with a knife and fork. The gyro meat (beef & lamb) was bland as was the tzatziki sauce. There was no hint of garlic, dill, or cucumber in the sauce that I believe was just plain sour cream - so disappointing! My server was not as attentive as I expected. She spent lots of time at the cash register counting money and running around doing other stuff without checking in, so I had to flag her down multiple times. I think it's worth coming back and trying one of their half pound burgers next time.

Great creative delicious sandwich shop in south Minneapolis. Service was ok not much interaction…read more You order on a kiosk. The place has no indoor seating and a few tables on the sidewalk. Seems like a really busy takeout spot. Order: the North Star deluxe. Delicious. Their take on a Reuben without the kraut. All the meats were delicious and distinctive in flavor. The creole mayo added that nice creaminess. The homemade pickles on the side added that little vinegar punch to cut thru the richness of the sandwich. Smoked salmon BLT. Huge potion of perfectly smoked salmon. The smoke and crunch of the bacon was a perfect pairing. This is an amazing creative surf and turf. Overall: This is a must try on your Minnesota food tour.

It wasn't bad but it wasn't great. The garlic butter for the bread was the best thing. The soup was too spicy for me and I couldn't eat more than a few bites. The salad was fine. The shrimp and salmon were cooked well but the toppings were bland. There was way too much rice pilaf and the broccoli was fresh, not frozen so that's a definite positive but it had no seasoning. It was pretty good when I put some salt and pepper on it and whatever the mixed seasoning on the table was. The food could use a bit more seasoning in everything but the soup and butter. The ambience was good and the waitress was great and everyone was very friendly when we walked through the door.

Since COVID-19, they are now requiring masks in order for you to enter. When I visited, everyone complied. The prices here vary. Sometimes an item will be vastly cheaper than from somewhere else and others will be much more expensive. But, this is a co-op so whatever you pay will go back to local farmers and product owners so I think it's worth it either way. There aren't a ton of aisles but they have a relatively good freezer section (and even had a sale for 2/$7 Ben and Jerry's ice cream!). Their coffee shop is really cute too. I didn't go inside the book store but it's right next to the coffee shop which also offers snacks and has a small sitting area for you to eat a snack or finish your coffee.

Marty's is located in the holland neighborhood. They get quite busy on the weekend, with the line…read moreoften stretching out the doors during breakfast hours. On weekdays, it's usually quick to get in and out! There is always plenty of parking on the residential streets nearby. You order at the register, and they'll call out your name when your order is ready. They have some seating indoors and outdoors, but it's a relatively small space so it does get crowded on the weekends but I've never had to wait too long to find a place to sit! Breakfast is served until 11 on weekdays and noon on weekends and lunch is served all day! Their menu is labeled clearly with what's vegan and vegetarian. They do have an option to sub for gluten-free bread for any sandwich, although I haven't personally tried the gluten free bread. Marty's breakfast sandwiches are an absolute must try! Their focaccia has a fluffy interior and lightly crispy exterior, and the toasted sesame seeds on it add a nice layer to the flavor. The eggs are perfectly fluffy, and the cheese is perfectly gooey and melty. It is, in my opinion, one of the best breakfast sandwiches in the cities. I also think the hash browns are THE best hash browns you can buy. They're house-made, with the potatoes grated more finely than your typical hash brown. They have a fluffy interior, crispy exterior, and are salted to perfection. I like them with a side of aioli, but they're also good on their own! I would highly recommend going to Marty's, and especially recommend their breakfast!

Pro tip check their instagram stories to see if they're sold out. They make their focaccia bread daily and when it's gone it's gone for the day. It's normal to spot a long line, don't let that make you hesitate. It goes fast and is so worth it. My absolute love em items: Pool & Yacht Club (this sandwich could be my love language. The first time I went here I had lunch and also got another sandwich to have later for dinner because it was that good.) Chocolate Olive Oil Cookie (this is one of the best cookies I've ever had hands down. Crispy but soft, smooth chocolate, salty bits, so. frickin. good. I am not usually a chocolate cookie gal but dang this one is beyond good) highly recommend getting your own because you're not gonna want to share. Maybe get one for later too even. You won't regret it. Additional shout out for their breakfast sandwich and hash browns. Yummm They also have a cute little patio out back to enjoy.

We stopped in on a Saturday evening to watch a couple friends play. The place was absolutely packed. Being that we aren't regulars we definitely got a few looks upon arrival but our server treated as though we belonged. Slow, but nice. Again, though, the place was packed. I ordered a burger. It wasn't great at all. Frozen, unseasoned patty. Chewy and rubbery. The sour cream on it was SOUR cream. Did love the bread, though. The girlfriend ordered fried shrimp. Came with coleslaw, potato, and a bun for $12.99. Crazy good deal and the shrimp was pretty solid. Overall I wouldn't go back here again just to grab a bite to eat. My friends were fun to watch and the whole bar was singing along so that was cool.
