"Ideal Diner, a tiny, sunshine-yellow diner on Central Avenue, has served Northeast Minneapolis since 1949. Today, it’s one of the few spots in the Cities where you can get a cup of coffee for $1.75. Breakfast dishes are served all day — the Polish Man breakfast, a combo of eggs, Polish sausage, and hash browns, nods to the neighborhood’s Eastern European immigrant roots. The buttermilk short stacks are served with a generous dollop of butter." - Stacy Brooks

"Since 1949, the quaintly small, but mighty Northeast institution has been serving loyal patrons off Central and Broadway with filling breakfast specialties far as the eye can see and $3 slices of pie. Call for takeout." - Ali Elabbady
"Serving the local "Nordeast" community since 1949, the Ideal Diner embodies the quintessential diner experience in every way. As you belly up among the usual patrons, choose one of the 14 stools at the counter and settle in for a heaping helping of classic diner dishes, with side order of nostalgia. Get up close and personal with Kim, the proud owner of this no-frills breakfast institution, "where regular people feel special and special people feel regular." - Windmill Design
