We moved into the neighborhood a couple of years ago, and are walking distance from here. I was very hopeful that our new neighborhood breakfast spot would be good, but you never know until ya go. Fortunately for us, it is absolutely worth a visit. I will say, the prices are a little on the higher side of the $10-$20 range for a plate, don't expect to pay like $11-12, expect closer to the $18ish range, and then of course coffee or a cinnamon roll would add on to that. Easy for the price for this breakfast to get a little on the higher side all things considered. However, the food!
Delicious food. What I think really makes the buttered tin stand out is that everything is scratch made. That really boosts this place above other breakfast options, especially with their baked goods. I am a huge fan of their scratch made twinkie, it is fantastic. When I first ordered it, my wife was a little like, oh gross, why would you order a twinkie, but after she tried it she understood that it was absolutely worth getting.
Additionally, I think their menu is very well designed. If you or someone dining with you tends towards more traditional or simpler flavors, you'll be able to find something for them. They walk a nice line of having options that are creative and unique without being too intimidating. Personally, I love the walleye cake bennie, it's a great way to enjoy an eggs benedict type dish with some Minnesota flair.
Another thing I really appreciate is the specials. Since we only visit a couple times a year, usually when family is in town, it's really nice to know that while most of the menu is the same, there's a good chance one of the specials will be a real contender.
Please be sure to get either a cinnamon roll or caramel roll at some point as well. Scratch made, nice and big, great to share with the table, whenever we go to my parents they always ask if we can bring a to go cinnamon roll from buttered tin along.
One other note that I personally enjoy, but depending on your style may be a plus or a minus - It's an order at the counter and take a number type of place. They'll bring the food out when it's ready. This makes service and seating actually move very efficiently on busy weekends. You'll end up waiting in line for a few minutes, but as soon as you're at the front of the line, you can order and grab a table, and they have it paced out seemingly very well.
