The Best Old-School Diners in the Twin Cities | Eater Twin Cities

"Keys Cafe’s original 1973 location has a storied feel to it — like it’s St. Paul’s very own Tom’s Restaurant, from Seinfeld, or Central Perk. The restaurant has expanded to nine total locations, but this Raymond Avenue spot, with its unmistakeable flamingo decal, is particularly special. The menu is stocked with American breakfast classics, from country-fried steak to egg scramblers, skillets, and hashes. Don’t miss the exceptionally fluffy pancakes, which come in special varieties like banana chocolate chip and caramel apple." - Justine Jones
