I love this place. The staff is out of this world friendly. Like best friend or favorite auntie friendly. I order the same thing every time because its just so fresh. I love the veggie burger with sweet potato tater tots. Its packed with fresh cucumber, sprouts and Im not really sure what else. I just know its amazing. Keep up the good work people! Ill see you for lunch.
Only giving 4 because the gluten free bread should be toasted with mayo not butter. Need to preserve moisture so it doesnt fall apart. Try it its a game changer.
A go-to for late-night breakfast food after drinks in the uptown area. But for those who go to sleep at a normal time, Uptown Diner is a cozy eatery for hearty comfort food. Servings are generous, and more than I can stomach in a single sitting. My last visit I had the tex mex..Or at least half of it. I ended up bringing the other half home to eat for dinner later that day. Friendly service, and a great choice to bring family and friends.
I ordered 2 Cajun omelettes with Andouille Sausage and 2 coffees. Price tag: $51 !!! I enjoyed the meal, but come on man. Way overpriced. Major bummer.
This is a wonderful place to go. The food is very filling and the portions are very large. The apple cinnamon waffles had two full apples worth of cinnamon slices and looked amazing. The chocolate chip cookie dough pancakes were the size of the plate. You can upgrade your pancakes and waffles to have sides for a reasonable price. . I would highly recommend.They also have well crafted malts.
They have it down perfect. Everything! The flavors, food combinations, clean, open late, no fuss.
Excellent place to eat very clean good attention the waiters are very friendly a good price and I ate a delicious fish sandwich.
Got the chicken fried steak breakfast. I dont recommend it. Seemed like it was breaded then frozen, then deep fried. The sausage gravy was okay but they were pretty chintzy with it. Wait staff was decent.
A great place to have breakfast with friends. Good food and a great staff
This was one of the best restaurants in Minneapolis, but my last visit was very disappointing. The host was rude and his vibe was not cool.So I just didnt dine. My hope is that the food still is the same good quality. Please dont overlook good customer service its key to all of your faithful and supportive customers. (Pictures are from my last visit months ago)
Great menu, a lot of options, excellent costumer service, they make you feel welcome, good prices and large portions
Love this place! Ive been getting breakfast here often, love the Cajun breakfast, kamikaze French toast and today I had the fluffiest, most delicious pancake 🥞 thank you! Service is always excellent
Terrible. Can’t even be bothered to update their website when they’re “take out only”. Awful customer service, woman who informed us of this was extremely rude. Signs/ ads online and in person advertising 24/7 dine in. Clearly, not the case. Really bad experience. 0/10 recommend. Do not go here.
An Uptown staple, and a MUST GO for anyone passing through the Uptown area. Decided to go here at around 1AM and was pleasantly surprised to find they were still open. Open to 11PM most nights, and 24hours on weekends, but this place is good for more than just a late night snack. Whether its breakfast, lunch, or dinner, youre sure to find something to satisfy your craving. Youll find a wide variety of selections, from basic to more exquisite. Being one of the few late night options in the area, it can get a bit busy, so be prepared to wait. But the food here is definitely worth it!
A true Uptown classic. Great service and consistently awesome comfort food. Unless you are a NFL lineman, their portions are so easily split for 2 especially breakfast. Uptown has Unfortunately experienced many challenges during the past couple of years, however no challenges with the staff and food at Uptown Diner. Enjoy!!
Great service, good food, great value.
Steak and Eggs was awesome. The meat was beat to perfection, eggs runny and hash browns crisp. Salt and pepper and thats it.
This was our first visit. I had the country fried steak breakfast and it was really good. The hash browns were made from fresh potatoes - so good. Service was quick and attentive. It was not very crowded at 8am on Friday for breakfast. Would definitely visit again.
Consistently good food. Somewhat naughty, but all the best food is! Service is great and fast too.
Delicious food and for a very good price! Cool location in uptown and can walk to some shops nearby.
Tried for the first time late on a Friday night. Inside dining was closed by then, but got a chicken philly sandwich with sweet potato tots and a chocolate shake to go, sat outside on their blue tables and it was very good. Service was friendly and had an accurate wait time. The sweet potato tots were very tasty as was everything else. A great place for a late night dinner or snack when everything else is closed.
The food is incredible with fast but friendly service. The food is a little pricey but you definitely get your money’s worth in quantity and quality. This is always the first place I recommend to someone if they tell me they’re visiting or live in Minneapolis. I wouldn’t change a single thing about this place!!
The portions were large, but wasnt too crazy about the waffle. Kinda heavy, not at all like a Belgium, very blah taste with granola or something instead of real apple crisp. The whip cream, apples were good on. I tried the hashbrowns and carmel roll and they were both good, nothing to rave about but no complaints either.
The food is always great and the staff is always kind! I love how late its open too!
Fast service and amazing breakfast food. Check out their omelettes if youre hungry! Biscuits and gravy were also fantastic. Ate half my friends when he got full and was worth it
You get your moneys worth and everything is good even the people that works there
Omelette was huge! Good service. Price isnt too bad.
What an awesome spot! Theres hardly ever a wait, the food is delicious, and the staff are really friendly. Their biscuits and gravy are amazing!!!
Overall not a bad place to visit. And they are open late which is a plus.
We had a great lunch, not having visited since before the pandemic. The food was quite excellent. I had a Philly Steak sandwich that was about as good as they come. The bread they used was particularly good. I had sweet potato tots on the side, and they were cooked perfectly. My party ordered hamburgers which were also nicely done, along with waffle fries. What was also impressive was how clean everything was, and they clearly were taking COVID precautions seriously. Before being seated we were asked to write our name and phone number, in case any contact tracing would be required. Also, it looked like they had done some remodeling with new flooring and upholstery everywhere. It was a nice experience with great food, and being in a place that clearly cares about their staff and customers. Nice job Uptown Diner!
I was looking forward to getting breakfast at Uptown Diner as I have been here several times. I ordered Country Fried steak. They put 4 times more gravy than needed. More than an inch thick. When I pointed it out to the server, he offered me a plate so I could scrape it off. Yuk! Very disappointing
Always a good meal.... love the burger fry and shake combo! They have the best milkshake 😋 🤤
Awesome breakfast experience. Ginormous pancakes. Scrumptious overpacked omelette and the kamikaze waffle was loaded with deliciousness. Some of the best farm fresh eggs I’ve ever tasted
Its nice to eat at a true diner and not at a Dennys. For one thing the food quality is much better the prices are reasonable and the staff is very friendly and proactive to any need (s). Ive had both breakfast and lunch here and Ive never been disappointed.
Great food, great service, friendly staff. Outdoor dining was fantastic.
I had the crab cake eggs Benedict and it was one of the best breakfasts I’ve ever had. I’ll definitely be back and getting the same thing. Service was quick and friendly. Our whole table had a great experience!
Was Uber Eats Delivering. Friendly staff and knowledgeable about pricing and products.
I discovered this placed while taking my cat to the vet.. The first time I saw it.. I thought it was a regular place... But after i tried the food.. It was a place that I definitely needed to come back.. The hash browns are amazing... I usually get steak and eggs and they are perfect.. The restaurant brings me back to the 90s..I give 5 stars to this place!!!
From our greeting by their hostess to our fabulous server, Mai.. nothing but awesome experience. Food fantastic. Love this diner.
Had the Cajun catfish with over medium eggs. Toast and hash browns. Best thing on my plate was the catfish. The hasbrowns taste like waterAms the eggs were hardUGH SHOULD HAD STUCK WITH AN OMELET
The food was pretty good. My Cajun omelette was okay. Aside from the hollandaise sauce, it wasn’t seasoned. I would’ve added andouille sausage but it was an additional $5.95. Our favorite item and redeemer was the pineapple upside down pancake. Would recommend.
Must provide name and phone number to be seated. Host and server were both very friendly and helpful. Food was delivered quickly. Great portion sizes.
Took family from out of town we sat for 20 minutes and didnt get any service... use to be my go to but not anymore.... minus the one star I had to give i guess
This place is always packed😩..Which to me is a great thing..😌..Finally got a chance to eat here and I will say I can see now why..😳The portions are huge!!..My goodness its worth the wait..But the best part of this place is not the food...Ms Jonell is an angel😍..I never met her before but after today I am convinced she is a truely a angelic being..Keep her please😵!!Other people should make it a point to connect with her and learn how to operate out of kindness and respect!!!☺🙏🏿
Basic dinner, healthy portions, easy with substitutions, and fast friendly service
Great service, classic Americana aesthetic that older folks will enjoy. Banana malt was awesome!
Perfect diner atmosphere! Coffee was topped off hot three entire time, food was fast and delicious and nobody judged me for dining alone. Great place to chill and write, get stuff done while sipping a cup and snacking on pie. Its on busy Hennepin, but theyve got an actual big parking lot; huge plus on a frozen day.
Usually, always, an incredible experience. Have been going here for 25 years. But...I brought my besfriend here last week, it was her first time, and I was underwhelmed. They changed the hashbrown cut so theyre thicker, they were not crispy as requested, the eggs were bleh, I had to ask for items missing from my meal. I will keep coming here but Im curious what happened in the last 6 months that changed, cook? mgmnt? Vendors?
Everything that I have eaten here what is delicious and they have oversized portions. I usually do the country fried steak and eggs regardless of the time of day, but the few times I have deviated I was not displeased.
I love this place! The portions are quite massive, prices are fair, and they even have Gluten Free options. I have plans to go back more often. 💚
Pretty good diner food. Free on-site parking is nice.
Great Food had omelette breakfast was delicious and filling
Pineapple upside down pancakes were huge and delicious!!
Good food, fast, alot and great service 👌
Service is great! Crab cakes benedict had a nice crisp outside. French toast was seriously loaded with blueberries and nuts. Great value and atmosphere. Quick and yummy breakfast.
Service was good and food came out fast. High priced for what they offer and tasted a bit bland. Not sure Id be back soon. For sure would not go out of my way to go there.
One of my favorite diners in Minneapolis! Plus, love that there is a free parking lot. Tons of food options and a great staff.
Always provides excellent customer service, I get my food within 10 minutes and it’s always delicious! I go there every Monday now to treat myself and get out the house. Love this diner!
We had the sweetest server, impeccable! But my moms hash browns were under cooked and she hates to complain. So, I didnt realize this until too late. My omelet was all good
Great service! Good food. Highly recommend.
How fantastic is it to go somewhere at 10 pm when everything is closed and pop into Uptown Diner with your kids and have the best service and food for the whole family. Breakfast, lunch and dinner cooked to perfection in a timely manner. So far one of my favorites places in Minnesota now. 2 thumbs up Uptown Diner
Nice place, the country fried steak and eggs was great. The only downside was the hash browns were soggy and way under cooked, and it was freezing cold inside the building. Other than that, good place, will eat there again.
Cajun breakfast was amazing, a lot of food and very good. Quick service too.
Love their food and generous portions. I always come back for the corn bread.
The food is always amazing, the staff is friendly/effecient/awesome and the atmosphere is so fun! Ive been there all hours of the day and have never had a complaint yet. The portions are quite generous so either come with an appetite or be prepared to take a box. Definitely my casual brunch go-to! Photos: the Uptown burger & waffle fries
Service bad. Food had to be redone several times. Physicility was had several dirty tables even though they werent busy. Food was ok once they got it right. Just not a good day to go to this restaurant. Have been there once before it was much better before covid of course but for it being so slow. This unacceptable, no real excuse Due to the previous time I will will try this again.
Very comfortable place to eat. Not too fancy. The server was very pleasant.
Fast service, great food and experience when I have been
It used to be better but it is so overpriced now and they charge like 17 bucks for an omelet and it doesnt even include hash browns. I won’t be going back which is a shame because if used to be my favorite breakfast spot.
Ordered a veggie burger on ChowNow and got a vegetarian sandwich with a patty. Five stars for using ChowNow, minus one star for how that was not a burger.
Excellent yummy food!! Country fried steak with chunky sausage gravy! Quick and kind server!! ❤
The waitress was so VERY NICE SO SWEET, SHE WOULD GIVE YOU DIABETES!!! The food was..........
Good food love the upside down pineapple pancakes 🥞😋
Its always great Id recommend it to everyone
Much better options in the city. Only went there because every other place had a long wait.
No comparison to the original Uptown Diner up the street. The food quality is not up to the standards set before this location.
Such a great breakfast menu with really good food.
It is an excellent diner I had the best pancakes that Ive ever had in my life
Great food. Great service. The hot chocolate was terrible, and for $3.50 a cup, I would have expected more, but the food was so great that I overlooked that!
