Band Box Diner

Recently moved nearby so figured I'd give it a try. Menu is decently priced and they staff is very friendly. I ordered a cheeseburger with fries, while the burger was great, I'm not a fan of string fries. I prefer regular cut fries. This is my only complaint. I will come back and try the breakfast.

My co-workers and I were in downtown Minneapolis and decided to take the half mile walk to a place I have wanted to try for years. Band Box diner.We found a table for 6 at the back and we all ordered some beverages from our wonderfully attentive waitress, refilling our waters as we ran low and was super nice.I noticed they took the tuna melt off the menu, but I ordered the Sloppy Boy instead, which I thought would be like a Philly Cheesesteak burger, but it was more like a Sloppy Joe. The meat was good and tossed in a sloppy joe type sauce. The bun was great, with it nicely buttered and toasted on the flattop.If I came back again, I would order a burger since all of my friends seemed to love theirs and they looked delicious. I did try an onion ring from one of the plates and it seemed fresh and crispy and really tasty.Price was right for high quality food, which I must admit, I was not expecting much from a diner started in the 1940's but it far exceeded just a "Greasy spoon"Not the best neighborhood and my pants stuck to the sticky chair on the way out, but it is a solid place for a lunch with buddies and our server was awesome.

My son wanted breakfast and we were in the area. Band Box Diner is a small local restaurant. The service was standard. It was uncomfortable due to how cold it was. We packed up and left. Parking is a bit much to find but the building is easily accessible on the corner.

Doing a live review at the Band Box, my cozy neighborhood diner at South 10th and East 14th Street. Down the street from North Central College. Ordered the cheeseburger (pepper jack cheese) with a side of onion rings (in place of the usual fried onions) and chips). (8) counter stools, (1) 6-top, (2) 4-top tab, and (3) 2-top tables. As I said, it's a cozy place.Cheeseburger was a nice Angus beef patty, fresh lettuce, tomato and onion. I don't do pickles. Onion rings were fresh and nicely fried and crispy, not frozen.Waitress was very friendly and nice. Glad I finally tried the Band Box. It's a 4.5.

I am SO happy this place is box. Small little diner, and probably the most authentic diner to me in the two cities. Simple menu, very reasonable prices. Went for Saturday lunch, not a bad wait. Had a breakfast combo, and my boyfriend has the burger. Would recommend all the way if you're hungry and looking for a no-frills joint that's also comfortable.

Band Box Diner is so nostalgic. Good-for-the-soul food, great people and great service. Can't recommend this place enough. 10/10!

Great old school diner. Staff was friendly & food was delicious. Possibly best bacon I've ever had.

Brest breakfast spot in town if you ask me.Great service and you just feel like in an old dinner.Must try place.

We've been waiting for this place to reopen since we moved into the neighborhood. The perfect little greasy spoon with GREAT prices! Get there early for brunch, it feels up fast. And it can be pretty hot if you're sitting at the bar (immediately across from the grill). We appreciate the history and quaintness - it fits the neighborhood vibe well.

Great simple food. Can't go wrong, really appreciate the staff that make a commitment to keep these places alive.
