Great little breakfast spot that has delicious food and great service. The one thing I didn't like was the pancake. It was undercooked, so it was doughy and inedible. No, I didn't tell them. Decided that I'd just enjoy the eggs and meat that made up the rest of the meal. Both my friend and I requested over-easy eggs, and his was more cooked than mine. This made having them on the bowl moot, since he'd wanted to mix in the yolk with the other in. He did still enjoy the meal overall. read more

First time here. I liked the inside of the place. Classic diner look with lots of natural lighting. The place could be a little cleaner. There was some old food under my table when I sat down. The staff was friendly. Food took a little while to come out and was ok. Prices ok a little pricey but not too crazy read more

The Lowry Café - Corned Beef Hash - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

I The Lowry Café, nestled in Northeast Minneapolis, is the kind of neighborhood diner that effortlessly blends comfort, community, and consistently good food. It's the perfect place to start your morning--whether you're rolling in early or recovering from a late night (Trust me, I really needed after my Saturday night!). On my recent visit, I tried the breakfast burrito (no meat), and it absolutely hit the spot. Packed with scrambled eggs, cheese, potatoes, and wrapped in a warm tortilla, it was both hearty and flavorful. Skipping the meat didn't take away from the taste--the ingredients were fresh, well-seasoned, and satisfying in their own right. The burrito comes with a side of salsa that adds just the right kick. It was service was fast and the food was still hot and fresh even with it being a doordash order! read more

This is the worst experience I've had at a restaurant years. When I came into the restaurant, there were only two other tables being occupied at the time. Little to no business at all. The fella told me I could seat myself so that's what I did and it still took him 10 to 15 minutes to come and ask me if I wanted something to drink. The restaurant is extremely small. You can see the entire restaurant from the bar area. There was no reason that it should've taken that long. However, during that time, he visited the other two tables multiple times. He finally came to me and asked me if I wanted something to drink. I got a water. It took another 20 plus minutes for my food to come. no big deal. The food came. I tried to eat the food not one time did that waiter come and asked me if there's anything else I needed. Not one time did he come to ask if I need to drink refilled? When I was done, I pushed the plate where away from me, my cup was empty. I sat there for another 10 to 15 minutes while he walked past me and serviced the table that was sitting right next to me without asking me one time was I ready to go that I want to check or anything of that nature. When I said something to him about it, he says I should've said something to him, but I noticed that the other patron never had to ask him to come over. He just went and checked on them. I never thought this place was like this being that it's in North Minneapolis. But needless to say, I won't be going there again. The food wasn't even good. They gave me 3 shrimp in my shrimp and grits. When I spoke up about it, the person in charge started verbally attacking me as if I was the one in the wrong as if I'm the one servicing them. To me these people are racist. It's unfortunate because they're in a community full of Black people. read more

Overall I really liked this place! It's big, family-friendly and the selection on the menu was decent. My kids liked their kids meals, although the cheez-it's seemed unnecessary. I am taking a star off for the chilaquiles I ordered. The aioli was a miss for me; this dish is already creamy and flavorful, and would have been better with a traditional salsa verde. I would come back to try more! read more

I had the biscuits and gravy. The biscuits were buttery, moist and absolutely delicious. The pork gravy was the perfect amount of seasoning. Eggs were cooked over easy and perfect. Definitely recommend. read more

We had take out and it was below average but edible... Scores -between 1-5, a 1 is the lowest. Meatloaf on a slice of white bread topped with mashed potatoes & gravy- 2 Club sandwich- white bread, even though I ordered sour dough. Very little ham. Came with a nice size portion of fries - 2 Corned Beef sandwich- Not allot of corned beef but meat was tasty-3 read more

Great food and service. A great place to slowly start your Sunday highly recommend. Veggie Omelette is excellent read more

Meh. The food is only okay and the price is fairly high. No sides with my breakfast burrito which was tasteless without the salsa. One of the orders from our party was wrong. They fixed it and didn't bill us. read more

Food is really good! The vibes are there. Very cozy and comfortable. The service has always been nice as well.

This is a neighborhood cafe where service is great and the food is....oh the food is outstanding! Omg. I hate to give this such a great review as I know you all will swarm this place. It is the best neighborhood joint I have ever experienced! I came here last week and was served the best shrimp and grits that it put NOLA to shame. Gotta try this! And shout out to Ali! What a kind soul. read more

What a great cafe! We happened to be over north on an early Sunday morning when we stumbled upon this place. It was a friendly and pleasant atmosphere. Our server was friendly and quick. I ordered the ranchero skillet and my wife ordered a Denver omelette. We also ordered a pancake to share. Everything came out quick. The salsa that came with my skillet was obviously made fresh in-house - so good! They also had great tasting coffee! 5/5! Definitely coming back! read more

The Lowry Café - Denver omelette and Ranchero Skillet - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Attractive, good food, good service. However my breakfast burrito had hash browns in it. That probably was in the menu description but gave me an unquieting sense of ethnic dissonance. Still looking for a diner type breakfast experience in the neighborhood. read more

Our Food, service, and cleanliness was excellent. The cappuccinos were probably the best I have ever had. The milk was perfectly frothed and smooth texture and unbelievable finish. The food is understated by the price which is amazing! It's affordable and the portions are abundant! The ambiance, here is what I loved the culture of the place. The flavor, here is what I will say . My mom is that typical Swedish German 73yr old woman who is load and well, I'm a 49 yr old liberal daughter who is still wanting to crawl under the table most days when I take her out. So she gets her French toast and making her more difficult than it needs to be. Im dreading her complaining abou the french toast. She gets the her food and shes like oooh ooh well hckkk youbknow the sound .. the are the best ef worden french toast i have ever had, as she now has improsned the waitstaff so MN Boomer Mom approved! And her kid approves too read more

Great neighborhood spot for brunch. Nice diner vibe. Friendly service, good food. They do take out as well which is nice.

We love this little neighborhood treasure. We stumbled upon it last year while visiting our U of MN student and now it's a ritual every time we are in Minneapolis. The food is delicious and the service is great. My husband swears by the steak and eggs. I love the avocado toast. Highly recommend. read more

Another regular greasey spoon. It's ok . There is much that could be improved. Probably won't be back.

I decided to be a fan because it's near my neck of the woods, it's a cute little spot and the food was good. Ambiance: Pretty cute and new looking, with a nice ambiance and feel to it. It feels like it's a part of the community it serves with all of the community listings and possibly local artists that are hung on the walls. I went within the last hour before closing, so the ladies there were cleaning up, but it was clean, felt inviting and had a good feel to it. Food: I ordered the shrimp and grits...because that is one of my favorite meals (chicken and waffles too, and since they have them, I will have to try theirs next). Their shrimp and grits are cheesy and I receive a disclaimer from the lady who took my order that their grits were spicy. She did not lie and l loved every bite of it. It had bell peppers and onion and spice. I took a full order, just so I could have more shrimp. Half order you get 3 shrimp/full order you get 6 shrimp. Service: The ladies were nice, but ready to go home. My order was fast. I tried to use the Yelp coupon that provided me with a free cup of coffee or soda. My waitress honored it, but stated that she spoke to the owner and he doesn't know what it is and thinks it may be fake or confused with The Lowry on Hennepin. I advised her that it's this location and simply thanked her for my pop. #kanyeshrug Their hours are really early and they close before I get home from work, but I will try them out on wknds going forward. read more

Lowry Cafe serves up good hearty breakfast fare and comfort food. Comfy casual, unbeatable prices, yummy food! I regret not coming here more when I lived in NoMi. The Turkey Wrap is delicious with bacon and cheddar. I also tried the California Burger which was pretty good, solid burger and no frills with a mild garlic aoili on the side. All their sandwiches come with a soup, salad, fries or fruit option. I chose a side salad which was a very nice sized portion. My friend comes here all the time and got their waffles and hash browns. The open faced meatloaf sounds really good too and I'll have to come back to try the delicious looking breakfast for myself! Just a heads up the two different times I showed our server the Yelp check in offer for a free soda no one seemed to have any idea what it was but gave it to us anyway no questions asked. The crowd here is pretty chill and it's just a nice little family friendly neighborhood cafe. read more

Great staff, first time there and I met Ali, what a sweet person clearly very dedicated to the business. Impressed with the ambiance, decor and overall atmosphere. Had some delicious, LARGE blueberry pancakes and the shrimp and grits. If this is your neighborhood, consider yourself lucky. I arrived around 9:30, it started out quiet and by 10:00 it was full. Will be back when I'm north side. read more

I ordered the breakfast burrito through Uber Eats. It was terrific! Thanks for being open on a holiday and providing a great breakfast.

Such a nice place with good simple food. We had breakfast. I had the breakfast sandwich with a ham and eggs it was great! My husband had corn beef hash and raved about it. Great personal service with a smile we will definitely go back! read more

Pancakes are on point. Fresh fruit was fresh & ripe. Coffee was solid. Bacon was crisp, has browns & potatoes were both great. Service was well timed, friendly & respectful. read more

Food and atmosphere is kool. Wish they'd stay open longer and there were more plant based items on menu but current menu is still doable.

My dad and I headed down to The Lowry Cafe after a particularly difficult family health issue at North Memorial. The food was a great way to wind down while things unfolded at the hospital. Our waiter Casey missed us coming in and apologized after he saw us. We got great service from then on, and the coffee (some solid Joe for a cafe) was always topped off. I had the super food hash, a combo of all sorts of healthy greens like brussels sprouts, cabbage and kale, along with corned beef, cheese and eggs. So flippin' good. My dad had the breakfast sammy and wolfed it down pretty quick. We were there during off hours and got in and out within an hour, which suited us fine since we had to get back to the hospital. I definitely plan on making it back, maybe during a summer bike ride. read more

The Lowry Café - Super food hash! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

The Lowry is an all right spot but nothing special. ATMOSPHERE: This cafe is a single open room with tables and booths. The parking lot is off to the side. One odd thing is the tables had bowls of coffee creamer but no sugar/sweetener packets, so you had to ask for these. SERVICE: Service here was acceptable. No complaints. FOOD: The breakfast fare is okay. I got their pancakes entree which came with two large, plate-sized pancakes and two pieces of meat (I got sausage). Standard breakfast syrup was available on the table, though I would have appreciated a maple syrup option (something I've found to be common in states bordering Canada). VALUE: Not the best. For what you pay you don't get a whole lot. As a cafe this establishment didn't stand out or offer something unique, so I didn't understand the higher prices, especially given the fact Minneapolis isn't a high cost of living area. Overall, Lowry Cafe is an okay spot to dine on American fare, but it's very middle of the road. read more

Amazing breakfast!! Service is fast. Server David was incredible. Will definitely be back

I decided to check this place out for brunch the first time yesterday. I'll be returning! Firstly, I had an excellent waitress. She was very kind, and efficient. I got my black coffee right away, which I really need in the morning. The menu didn't have a lot of vegetarian options, but she was accommodating, and made my order meat-free. I had been eyeing The Benny on the menu because I love eggs Benedict. I asked her if we could make it vegetarian, and I ended up ordering my meal with mushrooms and spinach. My order came quickly, and it was delicious. I think on top of the hollandaise sauce, was sprinkled paprika. Either way, good flavors, and the spinach wasn't overlooked or flavorless. I could taste all the ingredients and the sauce had a nice light flavor. Hash browns on the side were nice and crisp. The ambiance is cozy, with paintings throughout the restaurant. Check this place out if you enjoy brunch. read more

Breakfast only review: I was a fan... just because of the peanut butter waffle heaven, until I saw on the web menu it is made with Skippy. Funny how that one word ruined it for me. For a place that seems to try to cater to foodies, how hard would it be to use real peanut butter without the extra crap in it? Also tried the spinach frittata which wasn't anything like I was expecting. Frittatas are supposed to be thick and fluffy and full of yummy things. This was a flat egg disc and all the ingredients advertised in the menu were layered on top. Don't get me wrong it was edible. Just not special. The Lowry could be worse. (It's better than Perkins)...It also could be better. read more

This is a neat spot for Breakfast. They have a laid back feel and the menu is interesting, a mix of of the unusual and the unusual. I have tried several dishes that I felt were a little outside my comfort zone and each of them was tasty. Coffee is good, vibe is friendly, stop in and check it out. read more

ordered online and went to pick up my order, closed for the day, but my bank was charged for the order. don't use their online ordering.

Stopped here on saturday with a few people for breakfast. The food was good price and the breakfast was large for the cost. I am not sure why people are saying the portions are small. The portions were very large at this place. I had the jordan it comes with 2 sausage patties, 2 eggs., 2 bacon strips, 2 pancakes, and hash browns for like 11 bucks.. the portion is enough to feed 2 people.. people who say the portions are small must be very large..=x im just saying.... i also had the soup of the day it was cream of potato soup with bacon the cup was good size and also the biscuits and gravy.. was 3 something for 2 large biscuits in a large plate of gravy. I rate the place 5 stars because the food was good and the service was amazing.. i hope to go back again soon to try out the rest of the stuff read more

I had high hopes for this place because it's a neighborhood staple. But I was not impressed. I got the sausage gravy and biscuits. The biscuits were ok but the sausage gravy was very bland and tasted like it came out of a can. The service was awful. The servers were loudly complaining to each other behind the bar, and one server got in a very loud argument with one of the cooks through the service window. None of them acted like they wanted to be there and seemed annoyed that they had to work that day. Probably will never go back. read more

What a nice neighborhood cafe! This place has a very relaxing vibe. It's a kind of place where you meet your friends, have a nice meal and catch up. They serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I only came here for breakfast. The service was excellent. The server was very nice, friendly and attentive. The heat hungry eggs benedict was very good. The eggs were cooked just right, and the seasoned hollandaise was a little tangy and very creamy. One complaint though .. the hash browns was a little on a soggy side, otherwise it was almost perfect. Cant wait to come back and try something else! read more
