The Buttered Tin- Northeast Minneapolis

"VISITED: 15MAR2024. First time dining here. Yes, first time on the Ides of March. Service, food, atmosphere were spectacular and exceeded my expectations! I was expecting this to be a takeout spot and was planning to get my order to-go. I was pleasantly surprised that they had nice, clean, ample dine-in seating. Ordering is at the counter then choose your seating. I visited for breakfast and had the smothered breakfast burrito. It tasted awesome! The homemade chorizo was a really good. I'd describe it as better than any chorizo I've had before. Also, I'm a sucker for tomatillo sauce. I didn't think I'd finish the burrito but it was so good I couldn't stop eating. I was surprised that there wasn't tipping so I attempted to leave one on my way out. I was informed that a 20% gratuity is automatically added to the bill to help provide a living wage to the staff. I can support that because everything was worth it! I'll definitely be back to try more items on the menu. There were bakery items on display but I didn't partake. The coffee was tasty, hot, and plentiful."

"This is my second time eating here and OMG the food is to die for! Staff is super nice and the setup is very inviting. I love meeting here with my friends and enjoying some house coffee and food. Last time I came, I got The Buttered Tin Hash and it was well worth the $15.50! You won't find much of a better price for a salmon meal, let alone one that tastes this delicious and looks this good!"

"I have been to the St Paul one once, but today was my first time trying the Northeast one. This space is bigger and more open, but lacks a bit of the charm. I experienced terrific service, including expedited cinnamon roll preparation which meant we got to eat it immediately upon seating. The coffee was hot and fresh. I got the salmon with root veggies and squash because I mixed up the name of the dish with the walleye one I really wanted. I noticed after ordering, but thought if the buttered tin can live up to their reputation it won't be a problem. Folks, it was a real delight and I don't even care much for salmon. Can't wait to go back and successfully order the walleye"

"Update: I went in today 11/12 and see they took the QR codes off the tables maybe permanently or just today? It was my favorite part of this resturaunt how innovative they were to have these codes so you didn't have to go up and wait in line all over again or even leave your table if you needed more drinks or anything. But I figured out today that you could just pace an online order like if you were picking it up and put a note on what table you are at and seemed to work well instead but those codes were genius and not sure why there weren't there today. My Favorite Breakfast spot to go to!"

"Fantastic food in a lively happy place. Portions are way too big, so know you have leftovers or order just one meal and split it. Great flavors, good variety and amazing sweets too. A must if you live in Minnesota!"
