It may not look like much on the outside, but Ted Cooks is a great place for authentic soul food. Their ribs are the best in town, and their prices are affordable. If you're looking for somewhere to sit down for a quiet meal though, this is not the place, since they do not offer any indoor seating. But it's worth the trip on the way home, to pick up some tasty ribs for dinner!

This amazing coffee house is located in the heart of the Uptown district in Minneapolis. Housed in an old Victorian-style home, the owners of Uncommon Grounds have created a unique, pleasant atmosphere in which old instrumental tunes play softly in a seating area covered in old-fashioned wallpaper and filled with plush antique benches and old tables. I haven't had many of their beverages, unfortunately -- their chai is way too addictive -- but considering the quality of that particular drink I'm betting that the others are just as amazing.

From the Cheese Fondue to the Main Course, Wine and Pear Bread Pudding, it was Heaven. Listen to Jesse H., and not to any of the negative reviews. Better make a reservation to be sure you can have this dining experience, too!

JAKE, our waiter, was attentive, prompt and effieient. All the tapas we tried were wonderful with sufficient portions for a table of 4 to share and try. Pizza and fried olives were outstanding. Rissoto was NY quality and very tasty . WINE quality and prices were a pleasant surprise and great bargain. We stayed after closing and were treated pleasantly all evening. Good hospitality. A definite MUST TRY !
Pros: MANY CHOICES OF GOOD FOODS

It's Greek to Me easily has the best gyros in Minneapolis. They're stuffed to the brim with lamb or beef, veggies, and sauce. Try one of the desserts as well, since it's hard to find great traditional baklava and other Greek delicacies.
The atmosphere is also quite charming. When walking in, the deli-style counter makes you think this will just be another ho-hum joint. As you get further in, though, the painted walls and patio are very cute.

I highly recommend this place for everyone. Whether you are new to town and checking out what the city has to offer, or have dwelled here for over 20 years because you love the area, Uncommon Grounds appreciates you and your business. I've seen this place change a lot over the past two years that I've been coming there. Just to clear things up, I think they've finally got it going again!! They got rid of the bouncer at the door, which, hopefully proved to be a bad idea, and have changed the staff around many times over the years, but finally have a full staff that enjoys working there as much as the customers enjoy being there. I went there last week and was greeted by both staff members with smiles and "hellos". I, too, was impressed. The girls working there are very nice and friendly and enjoy sitting down for chats with the locals during breaks. As for the place, I too feel the music is a bit loud and ruins the atmosphere. When I worked there (probably like 2 years ago now) it was soft, serene, and mellow; now it has been replased with loud, love themes that range from poppy. overly happy songs, to the songs we've listened to in the 80s. THe drinks still are a bit more in price, but I ensure you, you pay for the quality. The owner uses nothing but high-quality products, and foods that you will ONLY find at the shop. As for the brands of Chai, chocolate, and where the baked foods come from... You will never know. Thats the fun! They all taste so gooood and keep you coming back for more. It has more of a "chill" atmosphere, they still ask each customer to buy if they are going to sit down for a while, but why would you go to a place and not buy anything anyways? Its great, also, no more jumping down your throats to leave promptly when you finish. If you have a computer it must be upstairs after 8. I love that, more room for socializing downstairs and more light for you studyers upstairs. It's one of the best places to bring first dates.
Pros: Credit Card purchases must be over five dollars, bad music choices
Cons: good ambience, atmosphere, parking after 9!,

Thank you for the most wonderful experience. My husband and I wanted to celebrate our anniversary with a show and dinner, and we were seated right at the window with a breathtaking view of Minneapolis - and amazing food and wonderful service. We ordered three appetizers and one main dish to share- all were delicate, superb, gorgeous in presentation. We ended the dinner with the die-for dessert of the spoon with the cherry chocolate cake, the restaurant's speciality. We both have traveled and enjoyed cuisines at many places - Tokyo, Paris, Singapore, New York, Chicago, San Francisco and we can say that this is a top-notch restaurant, that we can fully recommend to out of town guests. Also a wonderful place to spend a special evening. Thank you and we are proud to live in the Twin Cities!
Pros: World class Asian-Modern Fusion Cuisine, breathtaking view, ambience, service at the amazing Walker Art Center. Great Parking.
Cons: None.

I'm not entirely sure what people are ranting about...amazing space, spectacular service and superior food. Our waiter respected our time, didn't rush us and was incredibly polite. Each dish was perfectly prepared and arrived in perfect time. No complaints. We were taken care of.
If you think more money=more food, perhaps you should try Burger King. Cue delivers exceptional value because their menu features cuisine and an actual menu I was excited to order from.
If you are looking for an upscale dining experience, I recommend Cue.

Morgan is a brilliant artist and a gentle, quietly-very-funny person with a mind-blowing pedigree of expertise. We took our friend for a makeover and were completely blown away by the transformation. Makeup, hair, everything was flawless, and while our friend was being magicked to perfection, we slung ourselves on the comfy sofas and enjoyed lavishing affection on the pug/beagle/sheltie dog, Bailey, and Scooby the Cat, who are mortal enemies of one another, so you know that's funny. Morgan is completely amazing and I'd recommend her work to anyone who wants to look better than they've ever thought possible.
Pros: Total Beauty in Great Salon
Cons: No cons!
