"Slide into a red vinyl booth at the Uptowner on Grand for a no-frills St. Paul breakfast. This space has all the trappings of a classic diner — the chrome-trimmed counter, the retro stools, the hard-working flat-top — and, as a sweet touch, the walls are papered with Crayon drawings. The Cajun breakfast, a hash of green peppers, onions, and andouille sausage, is a favorite here, and the handmade pancake batter is laced with cinnamon." - Justine Jones, Eater Staff
