Well, I checked out one of the suggested restaurants, Degidio's. Decent Italian and good prices. Definitely not the best Italian in town, but good for the price. If you are heading to the Ordway or Xcel for anything, hit this or Casetta's up for Italian. Downtowner's is another place a block from there and has good american food and a great selection of wine. We were able to park for free and walk to the Ordway.

1. Kincaid's
2. Manny's
3. Oceanaire / Melting Pot (Toss up)

Re: Your Favorite Twin Cities Restaurants
 

I'd also like to mention Redstone in Eden Prairie and Doolittle's in Eagan as honorable mentions.

Re: Your Favorite Twin Cities Restaurants
 

Manny's and Melting Pot are both amazing.

BTW, bump for an old but good thread!

Re: Your Favorite Twin Cities Restaurants
 

I'd also like to mention Chang Mai Thai in Uptown!

Re: Your Favorite Twin Cities Restaurants
 

Hell's Kitchen, new location on 9th street in Mpls, the ham & pear sandwich is amazing.

Re: Your Favorite Twin Cities Restaurants
 

I don't know much about their food, but I hear their staff is pretty shady and not doing good things for that parking ramp.

Re: Your Favorite Twin Cities Restaurants
 

Senor Wongs on Kellogg and Jackson, Saint Paul

Mancinis in Saint Paul (high-average food, great atmosphere on the weekends).

Bacio at Ridgedale (italian)

Steaks: 1&1/2" thick teriyaki & garlic marinated ribeyes on my deck. By invitation only.

I'll try to remember a few more.....

Fogo De Chao. It's epically awesome, but incredibly expensive. If you get a chance to go, do it, but plan at least 2 hours for it.

Re: Your Favorite Twin Cities Restaurants
 

Hell's Kitchen has been there at least 5 years. It was there when I last work at TCF in 2003.

Re: Your Favorite Twin Cities Restaurants
 

No way, this is a new location, trust me. I know the old location, this one is huge compared.

Re: Your Favorite Twin Cities Restaurants
 

I really enjoy going to Bella in Blaine. Helps that it's right across the street, ha!! But they have great service who appear to really enjoy their work and very knowledgeable on the food and wine they serve. Just a very classy restaurant (good for dates), good music, great indoor bar, excellent outdoor bar/patio, great atmosphere. The prices are pretty fair as well, but can get a bit spendy if you buy wine.

Re: Your Favorite Twin Cities Restaurants
 

I liked... Morton's Steakhouse in downtown MPLS, very mega ultra expensive, but good as shit.. haha

Brasa rotisserie or whatever in NE MPLS....... good shit........... kinda average spendy.

If you like great fast food, with a restaurant atmosphere, try Mavericks in Roseville off lexington and laurpenter. They serve the best roast beef sandwich I have ever had, and they've won a lot of awards for it. The owner is a really good family friend, he's even over at holidays, and my grandmother has been working there since they opened 9 years ago. I love everything they serve there, and I actually worked there for 9 months. The food is not terribly cheap, but worth it, and it's a lot of food. If you meet Brett (the owner, who you you can't miss, there's a big pic of him behind the counter...lol), tell him it's your first time in and that Dan (me) sent you. He should hook you up with some free samples.

Broders' Cucina Italiana in south Minneapolis

Re: Your Favorite Twin Cities Restaurants
 

Yeah, the atmosphere is great there, but the food was a B- and the wine prices were rediculous. They charge $32 for an $8 bottle of wine, most places would be about $21. Biaggi's > Bella's. I just wish there was a Biaggi's closer to us!

Re: Your Favorite Twin Cities Restaurants
 

1. Ruth's Chris

2. Mount Fuji

3. Texas Roadhouse

Re: Your Favorite Twin Cities Restaurants
 

Bosses son was the head chef at Ruth's Chris up until recently.

You can't go wrong with Mancini's or Yarusso brothers. Yarusso's has the best damn meatballs and dirt cheap.
