    I'm picky and used to run back of house at a brunch place. My buddy almost fell off his chair when I said "this is amazing, I wouldn't change a thing." Their Jalapeño scramble, eggs over medium, add chorizo was outstanding, as was the blueberry pancake. Coffee was top notch, mimosa well presented. Dominic, our server whom I do not know personally, has been my server before. Any restaurant owners looking to train their staff on the cheap, give your servers a gift certificate to the lowbrow, tell them to ask for Dominic, and tell them to take notes. They will get a master class.

    Stopped in for some dinner while in the area to try somewhere new. The aesthetics were pretty cool, and it definitely gave off local gathering place vibes. Everyone was chatting and seemed familiar it's each other. Such a positive atmosphere! The food was tasty and had generous potions for the burger and fries. It did take a while for it to come out though. The service was otherwise friendly and prompt. Would stop in again.

    What a great neighborhood spot! It seemed like almost everyone knew each other in here which made for a fun vibe. I sat at the bar and ordered a burger. The service was excellent, friendly and efficient. Especially for how they catered to the regulars, I still was not overlooked. Nice. The burger was amazing! The bacon fig jam with the cambozola cheese was an excellent pairing and elevated the burger well. The fries were fantastic. I kept thinking I'm full, I need to go, and I'd pop another fry in my mouth. Addicting! Definitely want to come back to try more items off of their menu. Trying to figure out ways to head to that part of town now.

    I love lowbrow. The one thing I wish it had right off the bat is a bigger parking lot/space. Lowbrow is street parking and sometimes I have to park at least a block away. Not far at all but just letting y'all know. They don't have a button for the doors to open automatically. The restaurant is typically bustling with some outdoor seating options when the weather is nice. They have gender neutral accessible bathrooms. I've eaten dinner here and I like their dinner. However, I LOVE eating brunch at lowbrow. I get the truck stop sandwich with vegan patties and a side salad. It's delicious and filling. Their deviled eggs are yummy, and their pancakes are to die for. I get one as dessert and split it. & you can never go wrong with Peace coffee. I docked off a star due to parking and because it could be more accessible outside and inside the restaurant. Like if I could do a 3.5 I would. However, the food overall especially the brunch is 5/5.

    The Lowbrow Reuben with tempeh ($15.25). Tempeh, sauerkraut, and swiss cheese, with a side of Thousand Island dressing; with side salad.

    One of my new favorite breakfast places in town! A nice cozy but still hip brunch ambiance, will definitely be back for dinner sometime too. Plenty of street parking, plus single-stall bathrooms! I started out with a peach iced tea ($3.25)--I think this may be one of the first places I've found with an unsweetened fruit tea before, which was so refreshing and had just enough peach essence to have flavor to it without feeling overpowering or artificial! I got the jalapeño hash ($15.25) with bacon added (+$3) and the eggs scrambled, at the recommendation of our server--normally I'm usually an over-easy enjoyer myself but scrambled was totally the right recommendation for this since the sour cream made it plenty sauce anyway! Great flavors, and the cooked jalapeño was DELICIOUS. I also got a single raspberry pancake ($5.75) on the side, which was also perfect--not too sweet or moist, with the perfect amount of fruit inside. Even though the food was great, the best part of this for me was our server Dominic--when I had no clue what to order, he recommended that hash (with customizations) with a QUICKNESS (after making sure I was a spicy/savory enjoyer first), and I literally never had to ask for an iced tea refill--normally, I feel annoying asking beyond the first refill, but he was on TOP of it, even with the place being as busy as it was! Loved the food here, and will be back quite soon to try any of the dozen menu items I was torn between today.

    The Fire Breather Burger

    Me and my boys love The Lowbrow. They' think the best kids Cheeseburger is here so there's that! Today I got The Fire Breather which wasn't my favorite I've had, but still tasty. I'd recommend the Americana or Royal Jam burgers. Service is always good. Almost too good. The waters are always refilled frequently, and staff make sure to check in. Overall nice bar feel and neighborhood spot to stop in and give a go.

    Some friends and I came here after a yoga class because we wanted to hang out longer, and it was a great choice! We were in between meals, but it was the weekend so still had a pretty steady lunch crew inside. We opted to get snacky things to share, like fries and fried pickles. All were great and easy shareables. I got a root beer float as well which hit the spot. They offer burgers, soups, salads, and sandwiches - and even have a dog treat menu item. Our service was personable and friendly, and we were well attended to. The ambiance inside feels like a classic neighborhood joint and I loved that!

    Great burgers and fries! Lovely neighborhood joint with creative weekly specials. Such cute and inviting, casual decor with warm and friendly service. I hope to come back soon for their Happy Hour deals! Don't skip on the skin-on FRIES! They are delicious. Burger of the Month: Niman Ranch Beef with sautéed honey crisp apples, bacon, maple mustard sauce, and Gruyère cheese.

    Tempeh reuben
    Greg W.

    This is a nice, small neighborhood bar with a surprisingly great vegetarian menu for a burger-centric place. It's a small dining room and only a couple sidewalk tables so they fill up pretty quick. The service was good but I suspect they were understaffed since it took a bit between visits. Went for their date night special and it's a decent deal if you were going to order 2 beers and a dessert anyway. Normally I wouldn't get a beer or dessert so it ended up being pricier than our normal dinner. The tempeh Reuben was decent, and I'm just happy to find a meat-substitute Reuben since they're pretty rare. I love tempeh but this patty was kind of bland and the kraut didn't have much kick to it. Overall it was ok but I don't think I'd pay that price for it again without some punchier flavors. Tofu sticks are good but not strongly flavored. The bbq sauce is necessary. Book Club has better happy hour ones for $5. The peanut butter pie was insanely rich, but tasty. Pro tip: they serve it straight from the fridge so it's too cold. Give it 5 minutes to soften up and that PB flavor will pop. Also recommend sprinkling a pinch of salt on top. Overall it's an ok spot for post work beer and I wouldn't be upset about going back. Great if you live nearby but probably wouldn't make it a top choice.

For breakfast, I ordered two slices of their cinnamon French toast, served with two eggs and bacon. To drink, I treated myself to a delicious, beautifully layered tiramisu latte. ​Another thing I absolutely love is their grab-and-go bakery case. It is so rare and refreshing to see so many clearly labeled GF treats, like their Lemon Bars and Almond Cheesecake. We couldn't resist taking some goodies to go, so we went home with a lemon bar and one of their GF Fruity Pebbles bars. ​If you're looking for a delicious, incredibly gluten-free friendly brunch spot with a great atmosphere, you have to check this place out!

They also had a delicious iced banana bread latte on their special menu...the banana bread cold fold was so, so good. The second time I stopped in, I was with a coworker and they tried the avocado coffee...which was interested. It was similar to a smoothie consistency, but was definitely not my cup of tea. Overall, great service, quick meal and really delicious food.

They are also open for lunch, and have a liquor license. Yummo.

This time our family tried the 5th Avenue Minneapolis location right across from Twins Stadium. Quick tip, park in the garage facing the restaurant on the left side. It's an easy elevator ride up and the signage makes it simple. Matt was our server and did an outstanding job. Great service always makes a difference. Beverage options were excellent too, stuff for everyone, mimosas, specialty coffee drinks, and really solid drip coffee. The menu has a great balance of savory and sweet, so naturally we tried both. We had the breakfast sandwich with sausage, a BLT on a croissant, biscuits and gravy, pancakes with fruit, and a croissant-waffle fusion with lemon and sweet cream. Honestly, everything was delicious. What I appreciate most is the atmosphere. These restaurants just feel comfortable, welcoming, and easy to enjoy with family or friends. I'm excited they're coming to Maple Grove, but I'll still keep visiting the St. Paul, St. Louis Park, and Minneapolis locations too because I want to see our cities and local businesses thrive.
