A disappointing visit today at the Uptown Diner. I ordered the soup of the day which was 'Chicken Potato' and the Sweet Potato Tots. The soup was overly salty, but I stuck it out until the end and finished it. The tots seemed overly crispy compared to my previous experience there. It wasn't until I had finished 20 of these mini-tots that I discovered a long black hair at the edge of the platter (see photo). Also disapointed in the service. The waitress never visited me once to see how the food tasted or to ask if I needed anything.When she finally did notice I had finished eating she came over and asked if I needed a carryout for the tots. I pointed out the hair to her and she immediately took the platter away. The waitress admitted the hair was hers and had probably fallen from the lanyard she was wearing. She comped the tots from the check, but still charged for the soup. When I eat there again I'll taste the food and look at the plates more carefully right away. I should have sent the whole meal back.There were more people in the retaurant today than my previous visit, but the waitress didn't seem to pay particular attention to anyone after she had greeted them with water and took their order. After the food was delivered she left every one alone.

My local go-to. We always sit at the counter and order breakfast, regardless the time of day. The hash browns are the star, plentiful and consistently charred. Great with everything - eggs, ham, bacon, catfish. Service is routinely pleasant and quick, and sitting at the counter helps. Best of all, Uptown looks like a diner. MN seriously lacks the type of urban diners that are so common in the East and South, so Uptown has the right ambiance for eggs and coffee. Wonderful place.

Food: The food we ordered was great. I ordered a pineapple upside down pancake and oh lord that was so delicious. My best friend got the spicy Cajun Benedict and it was amazing too. They had a variety of sweet and savory dishes. Honestly would recommend. Although it is on the pricier side. Most meals averaged between $15 - $17. So a good splurge meal for a self care day. Service: The service was amazing. We were welcomed with smiles and the ladies who were there were truly amazing. Ambiance: It looks exactly what you would think a diner looks like. I loved the design and the blue was very complimentary. The booth area was my fave of course and they have plugs in certain areas. It gives a nice calm time to eat. Atleast the time we went which was around 3pm. Parking: They have parking which was amazing. Didn't have to pay for parking either. So easy and convenient. I was truly impressed and enjoyed the food and ambiance.

The food is great, never a bad meal here. The hours are great and you can't beat the service. Our server was handling over 4 tables and we never had to ask for refills. The ambiance gives the old dinner feel.

It's been 5 years, so I figured it was time for an update! This spot is STILL one of my favorite greasy spoon brunch spots, with a legendary serving team that's been around for ages, all your favorite classic foods, and that feeling of community (or are we just all hungover together?) on a weekend morning.I'll keep this update short and sweet - here are some of my faves:- BYO omelet- corned beef hash- cajun breakfast (ask for the hollandaise on the side to smother on your own)- lunch: cubano (get the sweet potato tots as a side!)- my partner loves their pancakes and cinnamon rolls - I always order a chocolate milk heheThis place just feels like community and nostalgia, and I love that. Loading up on eggs and hashbrowns for weekend brunch just hits the spot!

Uptown diner has good food but it rather expensive. Despite this, their staff is friendly and this is a great later night option. We love their waffle fries, egg dishes (egg white scramble), and burger.FOOD: Pretty good diner food. Not much more to say here. It's a diner and lives up to the title. Waffle fries are highly recommended.SERVICE: Reliably friendlyPARKING: easy on the side of the restaurant on Hennepin.PRICE: definitely expensive. And more than you'd expect. But if you're craving diner food, it can hit the spot and be worth it.AMBIANCE: We order to go most of the time. But the interior has a typical diner feel.

We've been here many times, as it's my wife's go-to breakfast spot when we're in the cities. We usually have no trouble getting seated quickly, and the food comes out pretty quickly as well. Menu selection is good and I don't think I've ever had anything I haven't liked. The service has always been good as well. They also have ample off street parking. I can't say it's amazing - it's a pretty standard diner experience - the food is good but not out of this world. I did notice this time though, that the hotcake syrup seemed watered down. It wasn't very thick at all and tasted bland. It's usually busy and has a nice vibe. Even though I am not blown away by it - I will come back. If you just want a classic hot breakfast and coffee, and to get in and out quickly, you'll like it.

We came in late with a big group of 12+ people. Megan was our server and she was absolutely amazing. She took such good care of us. Our group goes out to lots of different restaurants in the area. It really stands out to us when we have a great server like Megan. Not all servers are created equal. She's one of the great ones. Thank you Megan for helping us have a great night!
