Hit up the Uptown Diner right after a night out for great breakfast...but be wary of a long wait!
My favorite diner. Fit for a king, or multiple kings and or queens.
Elliot Park's Band Box Diner is the real deal. Drop in for breakfast at this small counter cafe for some strong coffee and eggs jumpstarted with a side of ska music. Read more.
The Tuna Filet is 4oz of Yellowfin with a dill mayo, spring greens, pickles, onion on a toasted bun. Delish!!!
Super authentic. I've never been in a diner like it before. Great reubens
Hit up this old school diner (open since 1961!) and try their breakfasts or burgers. Cash only, no restroom. Good, honest food at a decent price though!
Seating is very limited, but waiting is well worth it. The food is great and the atmosphere is very small town diner. Seriously delicious food!

Try the Baba ghanoush or the tabbouleh. Can't go wrong!

Voted Best Pancakes by City Pages in 2011! This 10 ft wide Dinkytown diner, boasting only 14 seats, makes breakfast an experience, not just a meal.
Look at the menu and figure out your order before you sit down! Will make Al's staff (and other diners) very happy!

Whoever said they take CC was wrong. But some of the best local food around. Featured on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives (Food Network) -- worth repeating. Small!!
A hidden gem. So much on the menu but I can never pass up the flappers with apple and brie. Come hungry and prepare to be full.
WF rocks! They have almond flour-a must for making French macaroons.
Try not to get mowed down by hippies, but I guess better than getting mowed down by Edina housewives in Range Rovers at the Edina Whole Foods.
Make sure to swing by the cheese dept. There are almost always great samples out to try.
The Shanghai Mini Juicy Buns are perfect for the diner who loves their dim sum served with a side of danger. Read more.
The lunch specials are a lot of food for only $7.50! Full serving entree with a whole lot of rice, plus soup and an egg roll! Best Chinese food in Uptown
Try the fiery garlic pea tips.

Always get the Cuban toast. Always get a mimosa (any will do), and you can't go wrong with the the sweet plantain omelette for brunch.
Everything here is amazing. Even though I live nowhere by it anymore I make a point to drive out. My boyfriend liked his Cuban sandwich so much he got up and hugged the chef.

As seen on Diners, Drive Ins, and Dives...if you're staying downtown, grab a cab. Areas on the walk here seem shady if you don't know where you're going.
Their vegetarian Italian brat is my favorite. Get fresh cut fries for only a dollar or two and they'll cut and fry the potato in front of you. Self serve soda is nice, too.

Perogi like Grandma used to make. Traditional potato & cheese are divine. Waitress swears by prime rib Perogi but I'm not messing with tradition. Delicious!!
Warble a vodka-soaked version of "Mack the Knife" at the piano bar. Do it.
Great for weekday breakfast/brunch. Small diner atmosphere with food cooked right in front of you behind the counter, friendly service, standard breakfast foods - esp. great hash browns and pancakes!
Egg, cheese & sausage on English muffin... So good you'll want to get another one for the road.
The hashbrowns here are like crack. There. We said it.
Lovingly made in NYC, CHI, SEA & LA
