The Best New Restaurants in the Twin Cities Opening Summer 2021 | Eater Twin Cities

"I'm glad the Buttered Tin is expanding to Northeast under owner and pastry chef Alicia Hinze, resurrecting plans that were delayed by the pandemic to bring a second spot known for stuffed hash browns, towering cakes, and irresistible cupcakes. The new outpost promises to be a favorite breakfast and pastry stop when it opens in July." - Joy Summers

I loved the bright and airy atmosphere of this restaurant! I’m not a fan of ordering at the counter but they have a good system and went fast. All of our choices were tasty and loved the French toast! I will be back to try their bakery items!

Absolutely amazing! By far, one of the best breakfast spots I’ve ever tried. The best part? Service was great! It was my first time there with a friend and the person taking our order was incredibly helpful and explained the menu well and answered all our questions as well as giving recommendations. She even gave us details about where the food and ingredients are sourced. It was so fun hearing all about the menu and recipes! The food was 10/10!! I can’t wait to go back. I also ordered a bakery item to take home. It’s a busy place for sure but I can’t wait to go back.

Great food, good portions. The staff was super friendly in helping and providing suggestions. Our order was brought out about 5 minutes after placing at the counter. I would recommend going early as when we arrived the establishment was about 1/2 full, by the time our order was delivered to our table there was a small line waiting to order. We'll worth it.

Wow! I had the best brunch ever with my family this weekend! The food was out of this world and every bite was a burst of flavor and so yummy! And the people who served us were super friendly and made everything even better! I can't wait to go back for another amazing meal!

The pierogis with strawberry jam were delicious and there was also free drip coffee to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the St Paul location opening! Really great service and beautiful ambience/interior decor! I highly recommend this spot to anyone wanting a tasty breakfast in NE Minneapolis!

Dined in for breakfast with my fiance and our Aunt and uncle. The food was amazing I had the biscuits and gravy, rich in flavor and the biscuit didn’t get soggy. I have texture issues so that’s a Big plus !! I had some of my fiance food can’t remember what it was called but it’s the other picture. It was so good we kind of kept swapping plates. I really enjoy the set up of the ordering. And the atmosphere! I also love how I don’t feel completely weighed down after eating a meal from here! Definitely recommended trying one of the dishes. Won’t disappoint your tastes buds

Great food and normally great service. The menu differs from St Paul store. Salad is a great side instead of potatoes, but once in a while you need to pick bad greens or fruit. The last 2 times in, our food sat getting cold. Salad wilts or food gets cold. Don't go before 9am.

Our group had breakfast here on a Saturday morning. We were there early (9am) and it was not busy, but by 10/10:30, the place was quite busy and there was a line to order that reached the door. We got a cinnamon roll for the table and it was amazing -flavor was good, wasn't dry, and was warm. I'm still thinking about it. I had the breakfast Sammie on that cheddar thyme biscuit. The biscuit was delicious. I didn't love the sausage and would have preferred the sandwich without it or if there was an option to choose your breakfast meat. The salad was meh. Nobody at our table really ate it. All in all, I would go back just for the cinnamon roll (just not a fan of the $7 price tag for it)

My hubby and I took a family member here and all three of us loved our meals. I'm trying to reduce calories, so we skipped the amazing looking cinnamon rolls and other tempting baked items. I ordered a simple eggs over medium and their homemade toast, which came with some fabulous jam and a wonderful little salad. The eggs were cooked beyond medium, but were still good. I was expecting to feel a little deprived by my egg and toast order, but instead it felt like a yummy, wonderful treat. Good enough that I still have to give the meal a 5-star review. My sister-in-law ordered the eggs benny and my husband the egg sandwich and they both loved their breakfasts, especially the sourdough bread. We will most definitely be bringing more guests here!

I've been to Buttered Tin twice now - it's a great spot and their cinnamon rolls are AMAZING and the cabbage on their perogi plate deserves a special shout out on its own, but for some reason the eggs are never seasoned at all. It can get a bit loud on the weekends but that's anywhere. Overall I think they have a good menu and their staff is also super amazing! Just needs a bit of seasoning on some items.

I'm visiting from Portland Oregon where breakfast/brunch is a sport. The establishment was busy yet ran very efficiently. The food was amazing and the staff couldn't have been any more friendly and accommodating. Their commitment to excellence shines through in the food.

Loved this place! Was recommended it by a friend and it did not disappoint. I've tried a few things, but love the egg sandwich and the French toast. Have been back several times and always a good experience!

Large portions, friendly service, a great business model, and perfectly 'brunchy' atmosphere, that is waaay too expensive for the extremely average flavors. The menu is full of some *really* curious items, that at least from our experience is much more interesting on paper than in execution.

I grabbed lunch here on a Monday. It was busy but not crowded and we had no wait to get seated. Street parking was also easy. I like that breakfast options are still available during the lunch hour. We tried the cinnamon roll, huevos rancheros benedict with chorizo, and regular vanilla twinkie. Some baked goods are discounted after 1 pm; unfortunately we left before then or else I would have bought some more items to sample. Everything I had was delicious. The cinnamon roll was not too sweet, and the flavor of the benny was a different but delicious spin on the classic. I enjoyed the combination of southwest flavors of corn bread, salsa, and ranchero sauce with the richness of the guac, chorizo, and poached egg, all topped by the textural crunch of the tortilla chips. The dish itself is also large enough to share and came with a delicious refreshing salad. The twinkie was good but not an exact replica as the exterior was not as soft. I would come back for the benny and to try more baked goods.

I had Pretty decent food and experience. The service was just ok, it took a little too long for them to take my order despite there not being a line. You have to order first and server will bring out your food to the table you choose. It has a cafeteria type feel to the place. I ordered the smothered burrito which was big & pretty tasty. I loved the red sauce but didn't care too much for the green sauce. The tortilla was awesome and the fillings were good as well. The price was pretty steep for a breakfast burrito. With an added service wellness charge, my total came out to $20+ for just the burrito and nothing else.

We went here on a whim for brunch, such a cute place! We ended up coming on Father's Day, so it was a bit busy, but overall the service was excellent, food came out fast and we didn't have to wait long for a table to open up. The food was super tasty, I had the biscuits and gravy and my boyfriend had the breakfast burger - both were large portions and yummy.

Return back this place because it was good and delicious. The food came out fresh and looked very appetizing. One thing i would do differently is put the sauce on the side for the breakfast burrito. For it was too much and i couldnt taste the food inside the wrap. The services was quick and easy. They will bring the food to you once you settle into a table you pick. The ambiance was good, a lot of people there and it was like a small little cafe . Definitely something nice in the neighborhood and close by for folks.

Note: They charge you a 20% surcharge called a "Livable Wage Surcharge" here. I didn't realize it until it showed up on your credit charge. Owners here are quite devious, super shady if you ask me. Not cool at all! Keep in mind the note about the 20% is at the bottom of the menu and the shady owner states it's not gratuity and is considered separate. Prepare to feel royally robbed by the low quality food output and charges and ridiculous surcharges for what? Another order at the counter spot, seems to be a normal thing here. Staff will bring out your food to your table. We ordered a blueberry pie warmed up, oat milk latte, hot green tea, granola with fruit and almond milk, harvest grain bowl, smothered breakfast burrito. Bill total is $69.34 The crust of the pie is nice and golden brown and has a nicely slightly crunchy crust too. The blueberry inside is jam, although I was hoping for some actual blueberry bits, not so. It's okay. The oat milk latte is good. The green tea is so-so. The granola is tiny, the fruit is more abundant than than the granola for sure. The red grapes don't go well with the granola at all. The grapes are wrinkled and bruised too. The smother breakfast burrito is sizable and filled too. It's filled with chorizo, eggs, black beans, hash browns. It's tasty and filling. It feels like a loud cafeteria inside. It's busy and a bit hustled around here The grain bowl doesn't look at appetizing as the menu makes it sound. It's rather tasteless and bland. I smothered it with Cholula to give it some flavors. I couldn't get the grain bowl without the brown rice and I think that's a shame. The brown rice was soft and mushy as it sits together with the quinoa. This grain bowl doesn't taste fresh and was poorly executed here to me. The service was quick at the cashiers. There are he same key people that run the food out to all of the tables. Not impressed with anything so far from this meal, compared to the amazing and flavorful meal we were privileged to have known yesterday at L&B. Everything was underwhelming for us. I am glad I stopped myself from ordering more food than I originally did, would have felt more regret.

ROME!!! What a cute diner! I had time to waste so stopped in for "me time" before turnup( meaning hanging out) time with the Family. In town to celebrate my Mom's born day that I planned almost a year ago, as well as, I stopped traveling for while and was having Mommy withdrawal jk First, the restaurant is on the corner in a new building in a great location so you can't miss it! Upon entry, ROME was more than welcoming, as he noticed that it was my first time here and explained the process to me. It's been a while since going into a restaurant that's set up in which, you're to order and then seat yourself. I also inquired about tipping, as I, noticed that there was no tip line printed on the receipt. MN has a "liveable wage tip surcharge" on receipts that Az has yet to start doing, which, can be a good thing and a bad thing dependingon if you're a tipper or not, fortunately this was a good thing since Rome and Vein provided excellent service. The food is good. I ordered pancakes, bacon and orange juice which were average price in today's pricing and which was yummy! There's parking around the restaurant which there wasn't a problem finding a spot to park. I'd definitely want to return when in town, as it was a pleasant experience! Thank you all!

We went here for breakfast with friends, during a visit to the area. Not only were we staying close by, we were enticed by the different breakfast options we saw on the menu. It was very busy when we arrived. Lots of people wanting to eat but because they only have one order and pay point, a long line. While we spent some time in said line, we had a chance to look at the assortment of food being cooked and delivered. It all looked great. Staff was helpful and friendly during our visit. The layout of the restaurant provided ample seating for the never-ending crowd waiting to order. After getting a table, our meals arrived quickly. I had the Walleye Cake Bennie. It came hot, the poached eggs were done nicely and the cakes, albeit they small, were properly prepared. Sadly, I had to add salt and pepper as everything lacked flavor. My dining partner immediately noticed my actions, as I rarely add salt/pepper. Overall, I enjoyed the American fried potatoes the most. My dining partner enjoyed their avocado toast; commenting several times about the nice "kick" from the red pepper flakes on the toast. We both enjoyed their coffee during our meal. Our friends enjoyed their less adventurous, Pig's Eye breakfasts. Would I go back? Probably. Would I order the same thing? Probably not. The breakfast burritos looked really good and would most likely be my pick. Good food. Good service. Pricey breakfast.

Overall I had a middling experience here. This place immediately loses a star because of the terrible seating situation. You can't make a reservation, there's no one managing seating, and you can't have one person from your party grab a table for your group. You can't sit down until after you've ordered and you just have to hope there's an open spot. It's unnecessarily stressful. As far as food goes, I got the Biscuit Sammie with a side of hash browns. The Sammie was pretty good and had a nice little kick to it, but I do wish the sausage patty were a bit more substantial. The hash browns were just standard has browns. Nothing exciting. For dessert, I tried the Blueberry Hand Pie and Caramel Cream Cake (it was hard to pick from the huge, delicious assortment offered!). The Hand Pie was pretty good--it was the perfect amount of sweet and super flaky. I wish it'd been served warm though! As for the Caramel Cream Cake, it was surprisingly bland. It had almost no taste to it and was not sweet at all. If you have a sweet tooth, definitely try something else!

This was my first visit to this NE location of The Buttered Tin, and I was excited to try it but also really nervous about the parking situation...because you know, NE Minneapolis. Parking was not an issue!! Lots of parking on the street right outside - woohoo! It's spacious in here and a great set up with booths and tables. It's an "order at the counter" type place and then they bring the food to you which is nice for breakfast meetings and coffee. I had the Walleye Cake Bennie and loved it! They also had Huevos Rancheros Bennie that I'll have to try next time. A little bummed they didn't have your good old regular Eggs Benny, but they give each breakfast favorite a really nice twist. I'll for sure be back, with it's easy to find location and easy parking!!

I don't know where to begin with this place. Located right on the SE corner of Marshall and Lowery, you will a well-lit open eatery. Parking is street only, so depending on when you arrive, you may need to walk a block to get to the door. The breakfast items are well made, nicely presented, and large enough to be easily shared; however, why would you do that? You will want leftovers for the following day. This is my third visit. My highlights from my visits are the loaded hashbrowns. These will vary per visit unless you eat there twice a day. If that is the case, you are fantastic, and I tip my hat to you. This is always something exciting and extraordinary unless they put salmon in it. They also have the ubiquitous biscuits and gravy. They have their own spin on it, and whatever they do to put this together, it will also be a first consideration. PRO TIP: put a little of the gravy behind your ear, and people will become strangely attracted to you! There are also some wonderful looking healthy options for one to choose from. I've never tried them because...well, I come here to indulge myself with the others. There are also some pleasant-looking pastries one can take with you after your breakfast.

I'm kind of a biscuits and sausage gravy fan, I've tried this dish a bunch of places. The Buttered Tin makes wonderful sausage gravy. The people I went with also loved their food. The person who took our order was friendly & helpful. The restaurant was clean & bright w attractive displays. I look forward to trying other things on the menu.

Prepare yourself and look at the menu before you arrive. I made this error checking out buttered tin for my first time for brunch and I 100 % need to go back again to update this review. Walking in, It is an old school order at the front and then find a table breakfast joint. They have great brunch cocktail options, such as lavender mimosa or ginger, lemon Mimosa, and a variety of fresh baked goods. The pricing was not terrible, especially knowing that eggs nowadays cost five dollars a dozen. I was not blown away by anything, and also, I will be coming back for round two very soon.

Came here for a lunch with coworkers as I work just across the bridge - I have been wanting to try and love it but felt like I was slightly underwhelmed. I ordered the hash special expecting loading hash browns but finding my dish coming out with potato chunks, a salmon filet, beets, other veggies, aioli on the side and lots of oil. I am not a picky person but this was not a favorite. The salmon was cooked well but having ordered a loaded hash, I didn't expect a salmon filet with a beet and potato chunk side dish. I appreciate the dairy free and gluten free options for those who need it. My coworkers mostly enjoyed their meals as well. Service was mostly quick but despite being not busy at all, it took 20-30 minutes. The space was clean. Bathroom had a lock code but staff provided it and it was clean. Menu was wide (from breakfast to snacks to lunch) and ingredients seem local as much as possible and well thought of. I will try again and hope I like it a bit more. Prices are a bit higher but that is explained with the higher quality ingredients.

We had a large group. There is no table service so best to grab a table and then go order at the country. Everyone's food was well prepared. One person in party was vegetarian and ordered the grill cheese without seeing that it had meat in it. They were kind enough to make another one with Just cheese.

This was a cute spot. I enjoyed the ambiance but was slightly disappointed in the menu offerings and seating. You can't grab a table without ordering first, which is the worst during busy times. They also are not the fastest at cleaning off tables. So we found ourselves cleaning up after the people before us. The Food: The Huevos Rancheros were great. I'd give them a solid 5/5. The Buttered Tin Pancakes left much to be desired. They are a solid 1/5. I was expecting fluffy, soft pancakes, but that's the complete opposite of what I received. They did not say what their pancakes were made out of on the menu. I'm guessing they were wheat? They were dry and scratchy. Overall, I would try this place again but would go there when they are not busy and would try other things on the menu.

This trend of surcharging customers to compensate their staff is outrageous. It is "bait and switch" on steroids! Just increase your menu item prices to include paying your employees more wages. Upfront transparency matters!

Everything was delicious, it was just a bit over priced. We got two breakfast specials to go, and it came to almost $40. They add 20% on, even if you're doing takeout. And it took longer than expected for the food to get made. It is super cute and clean in there, and the employees were really nice and friendly. I get what they're trying to do, and I know it's not cheap to do local and organic ingredients wherever you can. These values are important to us, so we will for sure be back. I mean I definitely need to try the fish tacos!!

Delightful to find a great breakfast place. I visit MPLS a few time a year for work and dread.the standard "complementary hotel breakfast." (Blah!) The Buttered Tin was an oasis in the desert of business travel.

I didn't know they added another location in NE. Was looking for a place to meet up with my friend for our breakfast tour and came across this location. It's in a pretty good spot- parking in the back or on the street. Plenty of tables -but don't stay too long as you might get the side eye- we didn't overstay and made sure there were tables, but still got the side eye on the way out. Counter service Food ordered: Gran belt breakfast which looked really good. Pierogies, sausage and eggs- pretty good. Pierogies were interesting and tasty. Ordered some cupcakes to go. Would probably skip it next time. Almond, Hot Fudge and Oreo- they were okay. Was really looking forward to the almond which was okay, but didn't taste that almondy.

Great place with bright lightings. Loved the food and the ambience. We were in line but the lines moved fast. The service was awesome. Everyone helped with a genuine smile. The lady serving food at the table was kind and gentle and got my coffee when I enquired for it (did not know if they serve the coffee at the table or you grab your own cup) The food is great, the eggs had perfect orange yolks, the cheesy biscuit was superb. There was a lot of flavor in the home fries and my bf's hash was well done - crispy on the outside!

Haven't dined in for a few years but the brunch was ok, nothing memorable and wait was long. What is divine here is the pie, particularly the banana cream pie. Not too sweet, and crust is perfectly delightful. The NE location feels like an upscale Perkins!

Yes! Take the time to visit this delightful establishment! My husband and I went on a Saturday morning to celebrate our anniversary. The cinnamon roll was perfection on a plate warmed up and with the cream cheese topping is the way to go! We are t breakfast people and don't love sweets right away, but we made it through just fine He got the biscuits and gravy and I got the breakfast burrito. We were pleasantly surprised by both! The biscuit was really dense and we prefer more of a light and fluffy vibe. The gravy made up for it and was packed with flavor and meat! He didn't like the greens and "salad" that came on top. But easily moved to the side of the plate. The breakfast burrito is HUGE and delightful. The hash browns were perfectly crisp with a good portion of meat and well balanced with all the ingredients. I don't like beans and asked to exclude them and felt like it was still a perfect burrito. Ambiance is a cute counter service situation. Would have preferred our table was cleaned better and quicker - but it was Saturday morning and they were hopping. The other thing of note is that we both complained because it was really loud. There is no sound proofing or sound control in the dining space and we felt like we had to yell at one another across the 2 person booth.

I really liked this place and it's portion sizes! Not too much and not too little with food. You pay and order your food before you sit down, which may sound a little odd (it did to me), but worked out super well! We got our food as soon as we were able to find a seat! Great brunch place for a group of 2-8 people (larger the group, the longer you may have to wait for a table).

First time at this location and it was a nice experience. Very spacious and lots of seating. Much like the other location you order and pay at the counter. You get a number and the food is brought to your table. The staff members were very pleasant and the restaurant well maintained. My biscuits and gravy dish was just as tasty as I remembered. There was a heap of sausage gravy and pickled red onions which gave a nice tang.

After reviewing some of what others have said, I have determined that this establishment is doing the right thing by implementing a 20% surcharge for livable wages instead of raising their food prices because it offers transparency about what that 20% is added to, which is a cause that I fully support, and makes me want to willingly contribute more, instead of increasing my expectations on the food quality due to increased prices. With that said, I have to make it clear that they indeed have amazing food! I have been here a total of 3 times, and each time it did not disappoint. First of all, even with the surcharge, most of the items are still under $20 and therefore affordable, on top of them providing a good amount of food on each plate. Second, quality-wise, I would highly suggest the damn good egg sandwich, the huevos rancheros benedict, the cinnamon rolls, the biscuits & gravy, and the pierogis, eggs & sausage. All of them have the perfect combination of food that allows you to say that you have gotten a little bit of everything! If I have one piece of constructive advice, it would be to offer a bit more variety in the salads that are offered with some of the plates. This is not a piece of advice I have for this establishment per se, as a lot of other restaurants do the same. I think adding some beets or cherry tomatoes along with the single kind of leafy greens would elevate the side house salad even more. While I wouldn't put this place as a breakfast / brunch spot better than others, I will say that this place is definitely one of the great breakfast spots in the city. The food is served in a speedy manner, and the atmosphere is very modest in a self-serve type of manner, although they also allow you to order at the counter. It is the perfect spot to have a good time with a friend catching up while indulging in some good breakfast, all the while not having to worry about looking out of place.

This place has great option and while we didn't order any pastry, the selection did look amazing. Tips are included in the price. I'm totally fine with brag, but overall, this place is a bit overpriced. I paid almost $70 for two entrees, two coffees, and two small mimosas. My friend liked her breakfast, though the coffee wasn't great. I had the smothered breakfast burrito; the sauces tasted very unusual, I think the ranchero sauce has either nutmeg or cinnamon. The salsa verde tasted very citrus-y. I wasn't a fan of either on its own, but together, it tasted pretty good. I think the burrito would have benefited from adding some sour cream or cotija. My favorite part was the mocha. You do order at a counter which we hadn't expected, but it was fine. Good and drinks were still brought to the table, and you can get water any time. I like the concept of mix between servers and self service. Overall, we were happy. Nothing was particularly spectacular, be it good or bad. I'd consider going back and trying something else.

Amazing breakfast with high quality. The French toast was the bomb and the walleye eggs Benedict was flavorful with Fresh ingredients. The staff is kind and friendly. The place has great seating. Warm and welcoming experience with great eats!!!

We LOVE the Buttered Tin in St. Paul so when they opened a new NE location closer to home, that sounded like a winner to us. We've now eaten there a few times and sadly I don't find it to be nearly as impressive as the OG restaurant. Many of the things are the same - the food is still good and the menu is the same, the decor is bright and sunny, the coffee is delicious and strong, etc. But this restaurant just lacks the details that the original location has. First, here you order at the counter and pay, you're given a number and the food is brought to you. It may be that they changed the St. Paul location to this model but the last time we were there, there was still table service, and I miss it at this new location. With the numbers for the tables, I feel like you aren't as welcome to dally, have another cup of coffee, decide to drink another cocktail and chat some more, etc. The cinnamon rolls, which are definitely worth noting, are the same as the ones in St. Paul bu they just aren't as good. I don't know if they're a day older, they're stored differently or what. And never once have we had anyone at this location offer to warm it up for us the way they always do at the St. Paul restaurant. Refills are not offered unless you go up and ask, water is serve yourself, when it is busy, the floors are unswept and the tables go uncleared. I don't know why this location is not as good as the other since the menu is exactly the same. I just feel like this location lacks the attention to detail and the excellent customer service. We will still eat here on occasion, but it won't be a regular stop for us the way it would absolutely be if it was the same as the St. Paul store. It's a shame. But hopefully some of these things can be corrected and then I can update this review!

Came around 11 on a cold Sunday morning and we were seated immediately. Waitress can me over and offered coffee and water. There is also wine (3 choices) and beer it said to ask your waitress about. I saw a mimosa option but not a bloody. I got the classic breakfast with polish sausage. The eggs were cooked exactly as I asked (over medium), the sausage was great and the bread tastes great. It came with a choice of potatoes or hashbrowns. I went with hashbrowns and asked that they be well done since I love them crispy. They were fine in terms of texture but had no flavor. I'd try the potatoes next time. Service was great in the beginning but was really lacking in the plate clearing, needing a box, wanting a check stage. It was probably 20 minutes from my last bite to the time of a check. It wasn't particularly busy and the waitress wasn't running around. Husband had breakfast Sammie and a side pancake. Sammie was great and pancake was fine We will be back

The Buttered Tin's new location in Northeast is a gift from the breakfast gods. They're open 7am-3pm daily, serving up fresh breakfast and lunch items that are comforting but slightly elevated. They also have cases of provisions (local butter, house-made pickles etc) and baked goods! Literally a treat. Be sure to check out their daily specials which include rotating loaded hash browns, soft scramble, toast, and soup. We've eaten here (mostly takeout) three times already and we've tried and loved their maple peach french toast, pierogies sausage and eggs, biscuits and gravy, Caribbean chicken sandwich and porchetta sandwich. It's hard to choose a favorite, but the biscuits and gravy are probably the best in the cities. The porchetta sandwich is a close second. As far as baked goods, we've been very happy with the ho ho cupcake, Nordeast twinkie, Halloween sugar cookie, cupcakes... as I write this review I realize we might need to take it easy. Or go more often? Service has been great, and I am a fan of their locally sourced ingredients like Cry Baby Craig's hot sauce, Fischer Farms bacon and ham, Kramarczuk's Polish sausage and local butter. ILY TBT!

Sitting at the corner of Marshall and Lowry in a new apartment building, this is a hopping place! As it should be. Great selection of pastries along with a menu of full breakfasts and lunch. The husband seemed to like the blueberry pie and the lemon cookie. He did not share! I had the breakfast burrito. It's huge! Enough for two or one big appetite. So tasty. Took half home for later. We will be back for sure. They also have 6" cakes for those last minute occasions when you need to bring a dessert.

Excellent eggs and baked goods. Try to get there early as the line to order will get long at peak times.

One of the best breakfasts I've had. I had the biscuits and gravy...good grief...SO GOOD! The gravy was perfectly savory and balanced with the wonderfully flavorful and meaty gravy with two poached eggs and balanced out with the pickled onion. The biscuits where big and crispy on the outside and soft in the middle just like they should be. It's a day disrupter. I was thinking and talking about it for the rest of my day. My wife got the loaded hash browns and they looked and tasted incredible as well! I will be going back. I hope I have enough will power to try something new. The service was awesome. I first asked for a recommendation and got half the menu as a response. Not super helpful for obvious reasons but after that meal I understand that is probably the hardest and the easiest question to answer because you probably can't go wrong! The environment at the Buttered Tin just made me happy. It was clean and modern with nods to old school diner. It was what I would hope for from a great breakfast spot.

The food here is amazing! But I went to order biscuits and gravy like I always do and it says it's $14 dollars on the menu. Once you order upfront the total came out to $18. I didn't get a drink or anything else. The prices are very misleading. We were charged extra so they can have a "livable wage". Maybe it wouldn't be so bad if we had a waitress and the water wasn't lukewarm but I think that's ridiculous. Owner should pay your staff the livable wage! Oh and my boyfriends $15 dollar burrito ended up being $20.

I wasn't really impressed from this place. The staff was amazing and nice. We got the following; Side of pancake: 1/5 huevos rancheros: 3/5 Ginger lemonade : 3/5 Vanilla latte: 3/5 Home fries : 1/5 Butter tin hash (salmon): 1/5 The huevos rancheros were the only good thing. The home fries: potatoes weren't cooked. Side of pancake: they gave maple bacon butter without even asking. I don't eat bacon at all. They replaced and gave us another one in which I found a hair. Gross. Butter tin hash salmon: this had way too many flavors that were clashing.

Great brunch option and a diverse menu that is likely to please everyone! I had the Harissa Chicken Sandwich with their Corn, Poblano, & Chicken soup. It was very flavorful and delicious. You order your food at the counter and then sit down. It can get busy but their employees flip tables over fast! Street parking nearby!

A friend and I had brunch at this location today and enjoyed it! The decor was cheery and inviting! It's clear they have a following because when I walked in at 1215 today, there was no seating! You must order food before you sit, so I ordered and waited about 10 minutes for a table to open up. The staff was very pleasant and quick to clean tables so people could sit. Despite how busy they were, my food came out in about 10 minutes and was hot. The food was absolutely delicious! My friend got one of the sandwiches with a side of chips and said it was also very tasty! Overall my experience here was very pleasant and I'd love to go back to try these cinnamon rolls everyone is talking about! (They we're sold out by the time we got there)

The food was delicious but expensive. I understand the Minneapolis required 20% up charge. I know the staff at this restaurant are not well paid. The problem is this 20% increase is meant for service. Only a counter clerk was working today. No service provided. Breakfast for two with no beverages was $37.

Kitschy specialty breakfast place with a great atmosphere, which is like saying your date had a good personality. Stand in line to wait and order instead of being seated while waiting to order. I passed on all the specious options and went with the grain belt breakfast. Over easy eggs came out scrambled. The correction was fairly quick, but greasy. "Crispy" hash browns were almost hash whites, barely warm, and also greasy. Only ONE slice of cold toast (perhaps due to having to replace the eggs). It came from a fresh loaf of good, homemade, whole grain, but was barely passable being cold and hard. Breakfast ham was...ok. Warm-ish and very connective tissue full. Fresh fruit - blueberries were mushy, strawberries and orange slices were dry, grapes were fine. Small glass of OJ, deliciously fresh squeezed, but not worth $6. 20% gratuity is automatic in order for them to pay the wait staff fairly. You still have to walk up to get your own coffee refill, then the decanter was empty. I went to the counter to get a refill. A full decanter was brought out for me to still get my own refill. Wayyyy overpriced. How about you just post the "real" prices and then explain that you need to overpay the wait staff, while they only have to bring the order to your table and bus it when done. (Minimum wage busboys = a solution?). As I type out this review, my dirty, empty plate has sat in front of me for more than 30 minutes! I could go on, but I won't go there. Literally.

Best interpretation of huevo rancheros I have ever had. Cinnamon rolls a executed flawlessly.

Was really excited to visit this place. The food is great! It's so much. The hard part was how they bring out food. We were off to the right and unless we were straight in front of the kitchen they would take our food back to the counter. By the time we figured this out it was cold. My coffee late is not cheap and it was underwhelming. It's first come first serve in the cafe seating. Definitely a hot spot for that neighborhood but not worth traveling across the metro for.
