Best Breakfast and Brunch Places in Woodbury

"Coming in at number five of the top ten best bars in downtown Minneapolis is Betty Danger’s Country Club. Not really a standard country club you may be thinking of, Betty Danger’s has coined themselves a “Kooky Country Club”. With a fresh take on classic drinks, this bar has an impressive drink selection that can keep the thirst away while exploring the Northeast Arts District on a hot summer day."

"Betty Danger's energetic patio atmosphere gives guests the opportunity to ride a Ferris wheel or play mini golf, while enjoying a variety of food and drink options."

"Some mornings you want a $15 açaí bowl or a Bloody Mary topped with a burger first thing in. For the rest of the time though, there’s Al’s Breakfast. This tiny restaurant near the University of Minnesota specializes in the kind of simple breakfast food that was good way before brunch became brunch, like pancakes, waffles, scrambles, and omelets."

"The barstools at Al’s, near the University of Minnesota campus, are always in high demand. Famous for enormous blueberry pancakes, Al’s serves all the breakfast favorites, with service that is thankfully never too effusive. 14th St. SE, Minneapolis, 612-331-9991 | alsbreakfastmpls.com"

"This Dinkytown diner is supposedly the narrowest restaurant in Minneapolis, with a width of just 10 feet. It's been serving up big breakfasts in that small space since 1950. It's open from 6 a.m."

"There are some things that you only do once a year, like renew your Amazon Prime subscription or watch A Christmas Story. The same can be said about going to Kado No Mise for the omakase experience, which costs about $200 and is the best sushi meal in Minnesota. All of the fish is top quality, the wasabi is grated in front of you, and there’s a tiny brush for you to paint on their homemade soy sauce."

"Kado no Mise, translating to “Corner Restaurant,” serves Edomae sushi and simple, delicate Japanese fare, true to the tastes and form that Chef Furukawa learned when he first started cooking professionally in his hometown of Tokyo. Wednesday - Sunday | 6pm+. Explore Kado no Mise"

"The Zen-like surroundings underscore the delicate simplicity of the classic Japanese cuisine, including nigiri, sashimi, and seafood starters and entrees. If narrowing down the selections is too tricky, opt for the multi-course omakase at the sushi counter."

"A closer location rather than going all the way to the cities. Always so friendly and quick with their service."

"This neighborhood favorite has a stunning back patio that’s made it the perfect spot to hang out with friends or read a book. If you’re looking for a sweet coffee treat, try their Thai style coffee with sweetened, condensed milk!"

"This place was much anticipated (I was basically counting down the days until it opened) and it did not disappoint. Their bagels are boiled, topped on both sides (game changer), and baked, which results in chewy and crispy bagels. The shop is owned by two fabulous sisters, Jen and Kate, who made it a mission to taste test bagels from the poster children of bagel cities (Montreal, New York City, etc.) They came back to Minneapolis afterward to open Rise, and everyone in the city is so glad they did."

"The chewy bagels, skillfully prepared, are naturally vegan, and owners and siblings Jen and Kate Lloyd stock a long list of vegan schmears and spreads (cashew cream cheese in plain, onion and garlic versions, plus vegan butter) and plant-based proteins."

"This shop was an immediate hit, inspiring none other than Andrew Zimmern to declare, “Finally, a worthy bagel in the Twin Cities.” Office heroes are made by stopping by early and sharing several everything bagels and a tub of scallion cream cheese."

"Attention, beignet fans: Grand Catch makes a delicious version of the warm and fluffy New Orleans-style square doughnuts. And that’s not all to look forward to. This Cajun spot near Macalester College spins such flavor-enhancing dishes as its rendition of chicken and waffles, but instead of waffles, you get sweet corn pancakes, a fried egg, brown butter coconut syrup and jalapeno butter."

"Grand Catch made a splash in the local seafood scene when local celebrity chef Sameh Wadi announced plans to open a new Asian-Cajun seafood joint. Located on the west side of Grand Avenue near Maclester College, the funky seafood shop was an immediate hit thanks to their legendary seafood boils, fantastic fish (and even chicken!) sandwiches, and fun cocktail menu."

"Located in the Hennepin Theatre District of Minneapolis, the Capital Grille is a restaurant that specializes in steak and all at comes with it. With a long list of steak and seafood starters plus a wide selection of soups and starters, you may be satisfied even before you see the main courses. However when you see the chef’s suggestions like seared tenderloin with butter poached lobster tails and sliced filet mignon with Cipollini onions and wild mushrooms, you may want to save some room."

"One of the best Valentine’s Day restaurants Minneapolis features is quite extravagant. When you are really wanting to make an impression, Capital Grille will knock your socks off. You will enjoy excellent food, an extensive wine list, and can even opt for valet parking to make the evening hassle-free."

"A New York-style steakhouse featuring dry-aged beef and fresh seafood that’s complemented by an award-winning wine list. Open for lunch and dinnerDress code: FormalPhone: +1 612-692-9000"

"Just east of downtown, in St. Louis Park, sits a humble brewery that is anything but overlooked by the true beer lovers of Minnesota. With a loyal, local crowd that doesn’t seem to care what day of the week or hour of the day it is, Steel Toe finds that perfect balance between buzzing microbrewery and chill local hangout. A local that’s worth seeking out!"

"Tough to go wrong with craft ciders, food trucks, and a lively outdoor space where you can grab fresh air and catch live music. Sociable Cider Werks ciders are made with freshly-pressed apples and a range of flavors to keep you coming back for more. They conveniently have a huge parking lot with a bunch of picnic tables out front to enjoy the weather while sippin’ cider.(PS, come wintertime they even have an ice rink. And it’s a blast!)"

"Brews made from fresh-pressed apples with fruits, grains, hops, and spices for drinks you can’t stop discussing. In addition to cider, they also have craft beer and mead on tap.. Your pooch will have so many new friends to ‘socialize’ with!"

"One of the coolest things about this 100 percent organic brewery is the repurposed grain silo it’s housed in. The atmosphere at the brewery, which owners Jay and Sandy Boss Febbo lovingly refer to as “the bin” is great, but so is the beer. The couple brews every batch themselves, and crisp, clean flavors are what they’re all about."

"Playfully dubbed “The Bin,” this pre-fab grain bin turned micro brewery brings a “beer in the garage” aesthetic to the masses. A small and comfortable brewery that uses all organic ingredients, Bang is a quiet alternative to some of the more nightlife-centered taprooms in town, a getaway right in the heart of the metro."

"Bang is by far one of my favorite breweries in all of Minnesota. The brewery is in an old storage bin in a St. Paul industrial district. The brewery prides itself on organic farming, local sourcing and environmental awareness."

"Chef Sonam Nyorie honors the cuisine of his homeland of Tibet in this family spot serving Japanese and Tibetan dishes. Try anything from tempura, maki, and hibachi lunch boxes to beef or vegetable momos."

"Momo Sushi, a sushi bar and Japanese and Himalayan/Nepalese spot in Windom Park, is another much-loved go-to, with 4.5 stars out of 47 Yelp reviews. Head over to 1839 Central Ave. NE to see for yourself."

"A post shared by Jacob (@jakubblue) on Aug 27, 2018 at 9:37pm PDT. A skyway sushi spot that is very easy in the pocket, Sushi Takatsu offers a great array of Japanese dishes that is well-loved by the locals, which you can see in the long queues of patrons waiting to have a taste of Osaka in Minneapolis. Their menu includes raw sushi, udon noodles, chicken kara-age, tempura, and more."

"Located at 733 Marquette Ave., Suite 225, in Downtown West, the sushi bar and fast food spot, which offers seafood and more, is the highest-rated restaurant of its kind in Minneapolis, boasting 4.5 stars out of 115 reviews on Yelp. READ MORE: Motorcycle Crash Injuries 3 People In Red Wing"

"The good: Fish was not problematic from a freshness perspective. Granted, all I had was salmon, eel, and California roll. Prices seemed reasonable."
