I previewed this place at a slow time on my own, then decided we should come back for Mother's Day. It was MUCH busier then, with a line out the door, but they had an efficient check in process. SInce this is a place where you order at the counter, reservations don't really make sense. And we got in faster than estimated for Mother's Day. I also noticed the staff didn't look stressed out despite the crowd. The large windows face north and west like my home, but somehow it feels bright and sunny, probably assisted by the blond furniture and gold and white colors. Water is self serve, but the rest of your order arrives fairly quickly after you sit down. I loved both of the brunches I ordered, getting a green salad with a delicious vinaigrette on the side is a lovely contrast to the indulgent loaded hash browns or soft scramble. My sons went for heartier fare and had no complaints, they would rate their food 4 out of 5 though the jam was reportedly awesome. I'd go 5 out of 5 on the loaded hash browns, because somehow they are still nice and crisp under all the yummy things on top of them. The coffee is very good, and I consider myself a coffee snob. Baked goods happy hour is a nice feature too. After dropping off his brother, my oldest twisted my arm to go back and get some half price cinnamon rolls since it had just passed 1 pm. The bathroom is across a hallway, shared with other businesses, and sparkling clean. There are fancier brunches out there in the Twin Cities, but I think this place deserves 5 stars for the whole experience, it's casual, but classier than a diner. read more

This visit started out as a pickup through Too Good to Go. I'd got a pastry/bakery bag. This was the first time I'd been at the location, and was surprised to learn that it's a lot bigger than it appears from the outside. Once I saw that there were tables available after picking up the bag, I went and got my friend who was waiting for me (parking is tenuous in this area) so that we could have lunch. We both got the Ropa Vieja Hash and decaf. Ropa Vieja is one of my all-time favorite foods, so I always get it when available. I was a little scared, honestly, because I don't know who's in the kitchen and wondered if they'd make it correctly. Well, I can tell you that this meal was stellar, with only one caveat. The egg was not over easy/soft, so we couldn't mix the yolk with everything else. We will be sure to stipulate this when next we have this delicious treat. The house-made tortillas and friend plantain were a perfect match to the hash. The Ropa Vieja was tender and seasoned beautifully. We will certainly be back. They have a Ropa Vieja sandwich that we both were eyeing when deciding to try the hash. The staff are friendly enough and helpful when you have a need. Oh, the "hot sauce" that's maple and jalapeno is a definite no. Fortunately they had Cholula, which we didn't actually use. It was not needed for the hash. read more

I love the Buttered Tin's frozen French apple pie from the grocery store, so I figured I'd try the actual restaurant. First impressions: the space was bright and clean, with lots of seating. We were given a table number by the hostess, then ordered and paid at the counter and sat down. Service was quick and friendly! The breakfast burrito was delicious and enormous, perfect to split. Street parking in the area. I imagine it could be busy, but we easily found a spot on a holiday weekend morning. read more

This place did not live up to our expectations. We got the Caribbean Grain Bowl & the Loaded Hash Browns along with a latte. While the menu has a Plant Based identifier, usually a promising sign there was only ONE thing on the menu plant based which was the Caribbean Grain Bowl from the lunch menu. The bowl itself was good and filling. The Loaded Hash Brows were pretty bland. I might try this place again because the atmosphere was relaxed, kid friendly and the staff were kind plus I have also heard the baked goods are really good! *Skip this place if you are vegan. read more

Great Northeast breakfast spot. Unique menu to cover almost everyone's tastes. I like the order process where they take your order at the counter and assign your table. I had the pierogi sausage and egg breakfast. The pierogies were prepared in a different manner that I am accustomed to, but after trying them out, I did like them although I prefer the traditional way. My spouse had one of the daily specials called the Denver scrabbled. She gave it a strong thumbs up. If you are a wine fan check out Violet Wine next door. read more

I've had The Buttered Tin on my radar for the better part of a decade--originally the St. Paul location--but never quite made the trip. Now that I live closer to the Minneapolis spot, I finally gave it a shot via a promo "surprise bag." Ended up with three cinnamon rolls. Truthfully, I'm not a big cinnamon roll person, so take this with a grain of sugar--but they were decent. A little on the dry side, and I found myself wishing they came with some frosting or glaze. Not sure if they were day-olds (maybe part of the surprise?), but they weren't bad. Just not a game-changer for me--but again, I'm not the target audience there. What did impress me was the lavender lemonade. Really flavorful--bright, floral, and refreshing. It was a little strong straight out of the cup, but once I watered it down at home, it hit the spot. Definitely something I'd go back for. Also spotted some lavender honey for sale, which feels like a bit of a find--lavender-anything can be hard to come by, so I consider that a small win. Apparently, I'm on a lavender kick now? Looking forward to trying more from the full menu next time--maybe something warm and savory to balance out all the sweet. read more

I ordered the Mediterranean Grain Bowl (GF, V). Overall, it was good for a healthy lunch. I'm not a fan of olives, but that's just personal preference. The Tzatziki sauce was served generously. I only used a third. I also got to try a bite of their cinnamon roll. Soft, sweet, and just the right amount of indulgent for my one bite. Ordering is done at the counter, and it's self-service for water and seating. A casual setup with decent food. Nothing too unique but I would come back to try some more food if nearby. read more

Went to The Buttered Tin in Northeast Minneapolis for Saturday lunch with a friend and the Dill Pickled Grilled Cheese was unreal. (Dill Havarti and provolone cheese, dill pickle chips, and peppadew relish on toasted sourdough bread.) I also added bacon to mine. For a high traffic place they had a really good system of flipping the tables and I don't think I saw one person waiting even though the line was out the door. Parking note: it's street parking so make sure you are prepared to parallel park in winter haha read more

Food was great! I had the smothered burrito, which was hearty and flavorful, while my friend went with the classic breakfast--also a hit. It was interesting that you order at the front rather than table service, but the line moved quickly and the staff was super friendly and helpful, which made the process smooth. The space has a bright, cheerful vibe that makes it a fun spot for a light meal or coffee catch-up. Speaking of coffee, it was excellent--usually a! Iced coffee at a breakfast place isnt amazing, but this was great. I'm already looking forward to stopping in again to try something from their bakery--I've heard great things and everything in the case looked yummy! read more

Such a cute little brunch spot with great service and food! I will say, this place gets BUSY on the weekends and parking is limited (mostly street parking). I was lucky enough to go on a weekday morning with some coworkers and we were able to walk right up to the counter and order. The lattes were amazing- especially the chai! We love their biscuits so our table enjoyed the biscuits and gravy and big ole Bennie. The cashier was super helpful and walked us through the menu. Everything was delicious! Their menu has pretty much everything I could ever want for breakfast. Also anywhere that serves pierogi and sausage for breakfast is winning in my book! read more

Pierogi meal was delicious! Pierogis were crispy on the outside with fluffy potato on the inside, served with a not-too-horseradishy horseradish cream sauce. Partnered with over easy eggs, thick buttered toast + strawberry jam AND a sausage with pickled cabbage on top. Hearty, tasty, savory, all freshly prepared and served quickly. read more

First time trying breakfast at the buttered tin and it really made my morning! Went to breakfast with the fam on a Saturday around 9:30AM and it was very busy. Be prepared to wait in line, but it goes quick and seating wasn't to awful. It is a seat yourself, order at the counter type of place. Started with a decaf coffee (very good quality) and the biscuits and gravy. The cheddar and thyme biscuits were the star of this dish! The gravy was savory and packed good flavor. The eggs were soft and fluffy. And the pickled onions added a nice balance. Everyone was so pleased with their meals! Such a lovely experience and love that they prioritize farm to table cooking. read more

I had Pretty decent food and experience. The service was just ok, it took a little too long for them to take my order despite there not being a line. You have to order first and server will bring out your food to the table you choose. It has a cafeteria type feel to the place. I ordered the smothered burrito which was big & pretty tasty. I loved the red sauce but didn't care too much for the green sauce. The tortilla was awesome and the fillings were good as well. The price was pretty steep for a breakfast burrito. With an added service wellness charge, my total came out to $20+ for just the burrito and nothing else. read more

The Buttered Tin - Smothered Burrito - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

First time eating at this breakfast/brunch place located in NorthEast Minneapolis. Parking can be tough since it's on a main street and can get very busy. Also hard to find tables for a large crowd on a busy day. We went on a Sunday morning with a group of 9. It was packed and we almost left but snuck and grabbed a table. Staff were friendly, food was good and filling, and the place was clean. I'll be back but on a not so busy day. read more

The prices are sky high, and the quality is not reflected in the price. The restaurant is loud--they've used tile everywhere, and sound just bounces around. The line is poorly managed and long. They have their daily specials on a clipboard at the cash register to the right. Other customers are constantly reaching across you, bumping you, and making unwanted body contact to read the specials. If you have a service animal expect to be harassed. There is a very passive-aggressive sign about only "real" service animals being allowed. On one hand that's great. ESA are not the same as a service animal. But on the other hand, the entire place comes off as a physical manifestation of a Karen. The accessibility is so-so. On one side of the door is a cement ramp. But most of the access requires walking up about half a flight of stairs. I didn't notice if there were buttons to open the door. Parking is only in the street and it's a nightmare. read more

My hubby and I took a family member here and all three of us loved our meals. I'm trying to reduce calories, so we skipped the amazing looking cinnamon rolls and other tempting baked items. I ordered a simple eggs over medium and their homemade toast, which came with some fabulous jam and a wonderful little salad. The eggs were cooked beyond medium, but were still good. I was expecting to feel a little deprived by my egg and toast order, but instead it felt like a yummy, wonderful treat. Good enough that I still have to give the meal a 5-star review. My sister-in-law ordered the eggs benny and my husband the egg sandwich and they both loved their breakfasts, especially the sourdough bread. We will most definitely be bringing more guests here! read more

Large portions, friendly service, a great business model, and perfectly 'brunchy' atmosphere, that is waaay too expensive for the extremely average flavors.

Delicious and fun. Awesome hash browns! Pleasant environment. Love the area and the diversity of people that were there.

Return back this place because it was good and delicious. The food came out fresh and looked very appetizing. One thing i would do differently is put the sauce on the side for the breakfast burrito. For it was too much and i couldnt taste the food inside the wrap. The services was quick and easy. They will bring the food to you once you settle into a table you pick. The ambiance was good, a lot of people there and it was like a small little cafe . Definitely something nice in the neighborhood and close by for folks. read more

Note: They charge you a 20% surcharge called a "Livable Wage Surcharge" here. I didn't realize it until it showed up on your credit charge. Owners here are quite devious, super shady if you ask me. Not cool at all! Keep in mind the note about the 20% is at the bottom of the menu and the shady owner states it's not gratuity and is considered separate. Prepare to feel royally robbed by the low quality food output and charges and ridiculous surcharges for what? Another order at the counter spot, seems to be a normal thing here. Staff will bring out your food to your table. We ordered a blueberry pie warmed up, oat milk latte, hot green tea, granola with fruit and almond milk, harvest grain bowl, smothered breakfast burrito. Bill total is $69.34 The crust of the pie is nice and golden brown and has a nicely slightly crunchy crust too. The blueberry inside is jam, although I was hoping for some actual blueberry bits, not so. It's okay. The oat milk latte is good. The green tea is so-so. The granola is tiny, the fruit is more abundant than than the granola for sure. The red grapes don't go well with the granola at all. The grapes are wrinkled and bruised too. The smother breakfast burrito is sizable and filled too. It's filled with chorizo, eggs, black beans, hash browns. It's tasty and filling. It feels like a loud cafeteria inside. It's busy and a bit hustled around here The grain bowl doesn't look at appetizing as the menu makes it sound. It's rather tasteless and bland. I smothered it with Cholula to give it some flavors. I couldn't get the grain bowl without the brown rice and I think that's a shame. The brown rice was soft and mushy as it sits together with the quinoa. This grain bowl doesn't taste fresh and was poorly executed here to me. The service was quick at the cashiers. There are he same key people that run the food out to all of the tables. Not impressed with anything so far from this meal, compared to the amazing and flavorful meal we were privileged to have known yesterday at L&B. Everything was underwhelming for us. I am glad I stopped myself from ordering more food than I originally did, would have felt more regret. read more

We went here for breakfast with friends, during a visit to the area. Not only were we staying close by, we were enticed by the different breakfast options we saw on the menu. It was very busy when we arrived. Lots of people wanting to eat but because they only have one order and pay point, a long line. While we spent some time in said line, we had a chance to look at the assortment of food being cooked and delivered. It all looked great. Staff was helpful and friendly during our visit. The layout of the restaurant provided ample seating for the never-ending crowd waiting to order. After getting a table, our meals arrived quickly. I had the Walleye Cake Bennie. It came hot, the poached eggs were done nicely and the cakes, albeit they small, were properly prepared. Sadly, I had to add salt and pepper as everything lacked flavor. My dining partner immediately noticed my actions, as I rarely add salt/pepper. Overall, I enjoyed the American fried potatoes the most. My dining partner enjoyed their avocado toast; commenting several times about the nice "kick" from the red pepper flakes on the toast. We both enjoyed their coffee during our meal. Our friends enjoyed their less adventurous, Pig's Eye breakfasts. Would I go back? Probably. Would I order the same thing? Probably not. The breakfast burritos looked really good and would most likely be my pick. Good food. Good service. Pricey breakfast. read more

ROME!!! What a cute diner! I had time to waste so stopped in for "me time" before turnup( meaning hanging out) time with the Family. In town to celebrate my Mom's born day that I planned almost a year ago, as well as, I stopped traveling for while and was having Mommy withdrawal jk First, the restaurant is on the corner in a new building in a great location so you can't miss it! Upon entry, ROME was more than welcoming, as he noticed that it was my first time here and explained the process to me. It's been a while since going into a restaurant that's set up in which, you're to order and then seat yourself. I also inquired about tipping, as I, noticed that there was no tip line printed on the receipt. MN has a "liveable wage tip surcharge" on receipts that Az has yet to start doing, which, can be a good thing and a bad thing dependingon if you're a tipper or not, fortunately this was a good thing since Rome and Vein provided excellent service. The food is good. I ordered pancakes, bacon and orange juice which were average price in today's pricing and which was yummy! There's parking around the restaurant which there wasn't a problem finding a spot to park. I'd definitely want to return when in town, as it was a pleasant experience! Thank you all! read more

I grabbed lunch here on a Monday. It was busy but not crowded and we had no wait to get seated. Street parking was also easy. I like that breakfast options are still available during the lunch hour. We tried the cinnamon roll, huevos rancheros benedict with chorizo, and regular vanilla twinkie. Some baked goods are discounted after 1 pm; unfortunately we left before then or else I would have bought some more items to sample. Everything I had was delicious. The cinnamon roll was not too sweet, and the flavor of the benny was a different but delicious spin on the classic. I enjoyed the combination of southwest flavors of corn bread, salsa, and ranchero sauce with the richness of the guac, chorizo, and poached egg, all topped by the textural crunch of the tortilla chips. The dish itself is also large enough to share and came with a delicious refreshing salad. The twinkie was good but not an exact replica as the exterior was not as soft. I would come back for the benny and to try more baked goods. read more

This was my first visit to this NE location of The Buttered Tin, and I was excited to try it but also really nervous about the parking situation...because you know, NE Minneapolis. Parking was not an issue!! Lots of parking on the street right outside - woohoo! It's spacious in here and a great set up with booths and tables. It's an "order at the counter" type place and then they bring the food to you which is nice for breakfast meetings and coffee. I had the Walleye Cake Bennie and loved it! They also had Huevos Rancheros Bennie that I'll have to try next time. A little bummed they didn't have your good old regular Eggs Benny, but they give each breakfast favorite a really nice twist. I'll for sure be back, with it's easy to find location and easy parking!! read more

The Buttered Tin - Walleye Cake Bennie - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Overall I had a middling experience here. This place immediately loses a star because of the terrible seating situation. You can't make a reservation, there's no one managing seating, and you can't have one person from your party grab a table for your group. You can't sit down until after you've ordered and you just have to hope there's an open spot. It's unnecessarily stressful. As far as food goes, I got the Biscuit Sammie with a side of hash browns. The Sammie was pretty good and had a nice little kick to it, but I do wish the sausage patty were a bit more substantial. The hash browns were just standard has browns. Nothing exciting. For dessert, I tried the Blueberry Hand Pie and Caramel Cream Cake (it was hard to pick from the huge, delicious assortment offered!). The Hand Pie was pretty good--it was the perfect amount of sweet and super flaky. I wish it'd been served warm though! As for the Caramel Cream Cake, it was surprisingly bland. It had almost no taste to it and was not sweet at all. If you have a sweet tooth, definitely try something else! read more

I don't know where to begin with this place. Located right on the SE corner of Marshall and Lowery, you will a well-lit open eatery. Parking is street only, so depending on when you arrive, you may need to walk a block to get to the door. The breakfast items are well made, nicely presented, and large enough to be easily shared; however, why would you do that? You will want leftovers for the following day. This is my third visit. My highlights from my visits are the loaded hashbrowns. These will vary per visit unless you eat there twice a day. If that is the case, you are fantastic, and I tip my hat to you. This is always something exciting and extraordinary unless they put salmon in it. They also have the ubiquitous biscuits and gravy. They have their own spin on it, and whatever they do to put this together, it will also be a first consideration. PRO TIP: put a little of the gravy behind your ear, and people will become strangely attracted to you! There are also some wonderful looking healthy options for one to choose from. I've never tried them because...well, I come here to indulge myself with the others. There are also some pleasant-looking pastries one can take with you after your breakfast. read more

Prepare yourself and look at the menu before you arrive. I made this error checking out buttered tin for my first time for brunch and I 100 % need to go back again to update this review. Walking in, It is an old school order at the front and then find a table breakfast joint. They have great brunch cocktail options, such as lavender mimosa or ginger, lemon Mimosa, and a variety of fresh baked goods. The pricing was not terrible, especially knowing that eggs nowadays cost five dollars a dozen. I was not blown away by anything, and also, I will be coming back for round two very soon. read more

Everything was delicious, it was just a bit over priced. We got two breakfast specials to go, and it came to almost $40. They add 20% on, even if you're doing takeout. And it took longer than expected for the food to get made. It is super cute and clean in there, and the employees were really nice and friendly.

I've been to Buttered Tin twice now - it's a great spot and their cinnamon rolls are AMAZING and the cabbage on their perogi plate deserves a special shout out on its own, but for some reason the eggs are never seasoned at all.

Yes! Take the time to visit this delightful establishment! My husband and I went on a Saturday morning to celebrate our anniversary. The cinnamon roll was perfection on a plate warmed up and with the cream cheese topping is the way to go! We are t breakfast people and don't love sweets right away, but we made it through just fine He got the biscuits and gravy and I got the breakfast burrito. We were pleasantly surprised by both! The biscuit was really dense and we prefer more of a light and fluffy vibe. The gravy made up for it and was packed with flavor and meat! He didn't like the greens and "salad" that came on top. But easily moved to the side of the plate. The breakfast burrito is HUGE and delightful. The hash browns were perfectly crisp with a good portion of meat and well balanced with all the ingredients. I don't like beans and asked to exclude them and felt like it was still a perfect burrito. Ambiance is a cute counter service situation. Would have preferred our table was cleaned better and quicker - but it was Saturday morning and they were hopping. The other thing of note is that we both complained because it was really loud. There is no sound proofing or sound control in the dining space and we felt like we had to yell at one another across the 2 person booth. read more
