I’m only rating a 2 because our severe was absolutely amazing ( joe mama) she was kind, welcoming, and just an Overall joy. However the food on the other hand was just not good at all. I ordered the catfish meal the other part of my group had a veggie omelette meal and (2) pancakes, eggs, hash brown meal..I was not please at all with my catfish meal the fish was just not good, no flavor and my hash brown were super oily and just over all disgusting. I took one bite of everything and decided I didn’t want any of it. We had 3 meals - mines and our bill was 80.00 most definitely not worth it. I paid 80.00 and didn’t even eat. ( they did take it off my bill) so I’m sure it would have been even more. I drove 1.5 hrs to eat here and I’m very disappointed and I most definitely will not return or recommend. My kids said the food was ok but they are kids and they were hungry… We made sure to be kind to our serve and tip her appropriately no matter how bad the food was!

Atmosphere and Staff Was Really Good. Food Was Average . I've Honestly Have Had Better Pancakes ? In A Few Other Establishments.

Really good food and affordable. The waiter we had was really attentive and came around frequently to check on us. Only complaint is he didn't give us quite enough time to look at the menu but he was still great. Delicious pancakes and eggs Benedict!

Great service and of course love this amazing food!! I’m not sure if everyone does that but we love going to church after having some diner food!! Just love it so much!❤️

Uptown has everything that you would expect from your local diner. The highlighted menu options are their unique twists on American classics. It's a higher end diner, so expect to spend $20.00 a person, however it is worth it once you see the portions served. Had the biscuits and gravy, and one of the burger and fries options the last couple times here. And they are open 24 hours a day. Due to COVID and staff shortage the dine-in option may be restricted to certain times, carry out and a third party delivery service are available during these times. Hope you enjoy this spot as much as I have.

Sadly, I think I've made my last trip to the Uptown Diner. Let me start off with what I still like: The staff is nice, the location is great, and there's plenty of room to accommodate diners. These perks have kept me coming back long after things went downhill.So what didn't I like? Chiefly the prices, and what you get for your money. You are truly paying a premium at this place. Don't believe me? Compare their menu to the Ideal Diner in NE. Your jaw will drop. Now, this would be fine if you got premium food in return. Alas, the food is at best average. At worst, you get served inedible (practically raw) hash browns, and this has happened to me on two separate occasions.The breakfast scene in Minneapolis, especially south Minneapolis, is extremely competitive. There are so many options where you don't have to gamble on having a good meal or not. Spend less and get better food by going somewhere else.

What a great place! Cozy vibes, cool art, clean seating (we saw tables swiped and squeaky clean minutes after someone left so they really stay on top of things), and sneeze guards up between booths as an extra bonus! Staff stayed masked and friendly, the people genuinely seem to enjoy being here as a team and as a staff.This is classic diner food at its very best. My fiancé and I got the country fried steak and it’s the best we’ve had. The coffee is a solid cup of Joe and piping hot, the food was filling and delicious without being overly greasy or painfully salty, and the selection overall is great.Definitely recommend for an early dinner when it’s quiet but even when it’s busy it’s a nice place to be and hear people chatter.

This is one of those places you wouldn't think would have amazing food but it really does! Wow! I can't say enough about this place! If you want a great breakfast, this is where you need to go. They had mostly breakfast food but they had burgers and sandwiches as well. I had the grilled.cheese on sourdough and it was perfect! Crispy bread, melty, cheese. Perfect

I ate here once. Good food for a good price. A ten dollar bill could feed one person. I removed a star because of the requirement of showing a COVID vaccine verification card when another diner in the same city did not have such a requirement so clearly such requirement was not enforced by any ordinance.

Can’t believe this place was open on NYE—gotta give it up for the hardworking crew in there churning out orders back to back!! If no dine-in is available, I recommend you order via a mobile app to get your food faster. I was pleasantly surprised the Cuban sandwich was bomb, usually the pork is dry/no seasoning, but someone in the back knows what’s up.
