The Lowbrow

One of my new favorite breakfast places in town! A nice cozy but still hip brunch ambiance, will definitely be back for dinner sometime too. Plenty of street parking, plus single-stall bathrooms!I started out with a peach iced tea ($3.25)--I think this may be one of the first places I've found with an unsweetened fruit tea before, which was so refreshing and had just enough peach essence to have flavor to it without feeling overpowering or artificial! I got the jalapeño hash ($15.25) with bacon added (+$3) and the eggs scrambled, at the recommendation of our server--normally I'm usually an over-easy enjoyer myself but scrambled was totally the right recommendation for this since the sour cream made it plenty sauce anyway! Great flavors, and the cooked jalapeño was DELICIOUS. I also got a single raspberry pancake ($5.75) on the side, which was also perfect--not too sweet or moist, with the perfect amount of fruit inside.Even though the food was great, the best part of this for me was our server Dominic--when I had no clue what to order, he recommended that hash (with customizations) with a QUICKNESS (after making sure I was a spicy/savory enjoyer first), and I literally never had to ask for an iced tea refill--normally, I feel annoying asking beyond the first refill, but he was on TOP of it, even with the place being as busy as it was!Loved the food here, and will be back quite soon to try any of the dozen menu items I was torn between today.

I really wanted to love this place, but ultimately found it to be average. The decor is very cute and it's a very laid back vibe, but it is also very cramped space. The two people are the host stand weren't exactly welcoming. We almost felt like a bother to them. That said, the bartender was nice, and our server was great.We enjoyed our bloodorange mimosas! The cranberry mimosas definitely had a holiday day feel to them, we thought we tasted maybe some nutmeg and cinnamon. Not my favorite but still enjoyable. We both enjoyed the deviled eggs! Why don't more restaurants have those! I had the chorizo breakfast tacos. They were very generously topped with guacamole (not my favorite) and salsa (very good), and some sour cream. The poor corn tacos didn't stand a chance and this definitely required a fork! Overall they were pretty good. The herb roasted potatoes could have used more herbs, but were well cooked.My friend had the Lowbrow classic and she enjoyed it as well especially since the default break choice was sourdough.Overall we paid $100 but about half of that was for the four mimosas ($9.95 a piece).By the time we were finishing, people were ordering lunch, and some of the burgers and sandwiches I saw go out, looked amazing!Our coffee and waters were kept full (though there were lipstick marks on my cup).Parking was a bit of challenge with the snow and being in a large van, but it seems that there is street parking available on the surrounding streets.

Great burgers and fries! Lovely neighborhood joint with creative weekly specials. Such cute and inviting, casual decor with warm and friendly service. I hope to come back soon for their Happy Hour deals!Don't skip on the skin-on FRIES! They are delicious. Burger of the Month:Niman Ranch Beef with sautéed honey crisp apples, bacon, maple mustard sauce, and Gruyère cheese.

Some friends and I came here after a yoga class because we wanted to hang out longer, and it was a great choice! We were in between meals, but it was the weekend so still had a pretty steady lunch crew inside. We opted to get snacky things to share, like fries and fried pickles. All were great and easy shareables.I got a root beer float as well which hit the spot. They offer burgers, soups, salads, and sandwiches - and even have a dog treat menu item. Our service was personable and friendly, and we were well attended to. The ambiance inside feels like a classic neighborhood joint and I loved that!

I had the pinto and quinoa burger and wouldn't mind having it again and again and again and again. It was SO good and well spiced. It did fall apart a bit while eating it, but that's just bean-patty life. The fries were awesome and the side salad was basic but fresh. I also had a few bits of the fried tofu sandwich and it was good, but I thought the pinto and quinoa situation was way better. The server was nice and the beer selection decent. I would 100% come back here.

This is a nice, small neighborhood bar with a surprisingly great vegetarian menu for a burger-centric place. It's a small dining room and only a couple sidewalk tables so they fill up pretty quick. The service was good but I suspect they were understaffed since it took a bit between visits. Went for their date night special and it's a decent deal if you were going to order 2 beers and a dessert anyway. Normally I wouldn't get a beer or dessert so it ended up being pricier than our normal dinner. The tempeh Reuben was decent, and I'm just happy to find a meat-substitute Reuben since they're pretty rare. I love tempeh but this patty was kind of bland and the kraut didn't have much kick to it. Overall it was ok but I don't think I'd pay that price for it again without some punchier flavors. Tofu sticks are good but not strongly flavored. The bbq sauce is necessary. Book Club has better happy hour ones for $5. The peanut butter pie was insanely rich, but tasty. Pro tip: they serve it straight from the fridge so it's too cold. Give it 5 minutes to soften up and that PB flavor will pop. Also recommend sprinkling a pinch of salt on top. Overall it's an ok spot for post work beer and I wouldn't be upset about going back. Great if you live nearby but probably wouldn't make it a top choice.

This is my best friends and I's go to restaurant in Minneapolis when we are in the mood for something that hits the spot but doesn't break the wallet. You really can't go wrong with anything here but I'll explain my favorites. For appetizers - their fried pickles are on another level. They are crispy, non greasy and come with a side of delicious chunky ranch. Our favorite entree would be the basil walnut pesto melt. It is utterly divine. The extra crispy sourdough bread is spread generously with their homemade pesto and filled with tons of melted cheese. For extra protein I usually add chicken instead of turkey. Their fries are crispy and fresh. Service is really good, the prices are a steal.

A great burger selection outside of just a cheeseburger. The Highbrow burger with melted brie was *chef's kiss*. I got the burger with a side of fries and "side" is more like an appetizer. You get enough to easily share with someone who orders the salad with their burger. Four of us split a slice of the stout chocolate cake. It was a pretty good slice of cake and gave us all our sweet fill. The servers were attentive. They were quick with filling waters, and didn't kick us out when we were busy chatting away.The painted mural and quiet (but not so quiet it's uncomfortable) makes this place a nice hang out location. It's street parking only. I was able to find a spot on 43rd; which wasn't too bad of a walk.

Stopped at the Lowbrow again recently and got the beet salad again (obsessed) and the Royal Jam burger. That burger was so good. I am already thinking about when I'll go back for seconds. I also discovered the small parking lot in the back - nice.

meh,it took over 40 minutes to get our food. We watched patron after patron get their food, and they came after my party of five. we were told that hamburgers took more time. The tofu tacos weren't luke warm. The chicken salad was bland. the fries looked like the leftovers from a larger fry order. Don't understand the great reviews, which is one reason why I tried this restaurant. Don't plan on going back! Ambience felt like a sports bar.
