"This Nokomis diner is filled to bursting with knick-knacks and kitsch, and has plenty of cozy booths for curling up with a steaming mug of coffee. Tuck into a plate of the Grand Marais scramble — rich and smoky with trout, cream cheese, and asparagus — or a short stack of fluffy buttermilk pancakes (some of the best in the Cities) topped with tart lingonberry butter." - Justine Jones, Stacy Brooks
"There’s so much to keep kids busy at Hot Plate until the pancakes emerge from the kitchen. This south Minneapolis breakfast and lunch spot is covered head to toe in delightful kitsch, from the shelves of ceramic figurines to a cozy, vintage-inspired corner kids can explore." - Alex Lodner, Eater Staff
"Known for its unique menu items and eclectic dining area, Hot Plate provides both a vegetarian and chorizo option for their breakfast burrito. If you cannot decide, order the vegetarian and add chorizo, which arrives piled high on top." - Eater Staff
