Ideal Diner

Cool diner. Good vibes and Good food... First time eating here at the recommended of a friend. I had the bacon cheeseburger with fries. While this was a simple order, it was good. I have to go back and try their breakfast offerings. If you have not been here before, note the seating is very limited, so there may be a wait. I think with the food, it may worth it. The food is good, and in my opinion, the price is reasonable. The staff was courteous courteous and the diner had a good vibe. I will be going back.

Being from the diner capital of the world, pains me to say it but this is the best diner that I have ever been to. The hash browns are always crispy yet soft and delicious. The eggs are fantastic and those pancakes are just killer. Like the gravy in the fried steak is as southern as they come and yeah IT blows any other diner out of the water. It’s that damn good everytime!

I don’t admit FOOD is really good, unless it is…and the food here is AMAZING! There were a LOT of people however, very cramped, barely any seats, it was hot on the left side of the restaurant, and you can’t eat except at the counter. So in order to get served, you have to order & wait on stools until there’s a spot for you. When your spot opens up that’s when they start cooking your food. LARGE portions, prices were great, small cups for soda (not sure refills are free), yet they needed more than one person trying to cook, & more than two ladies serving as they seemed super stressed & one hade a ‘tude! Was served on the right side of the restaurant and it was way cooler over there thank goodness. I didn’t like that they put my silverware directly on the counter (not sanitary), would be bet

Stopped in for breakfast to go. Ordered the ideal omelet w/hash browns, northeastern omelet w/hash browns & steak & eggs w/hash browns. The place is small. Staff very friendly, efficient & clean. The food is excellent tasting & cooked as you oder it. No mistakes. The only issue I have is, that Minneapolis requires restaurants to use non plastic/styrofoam to go containers for take out food. The food (juices/oils/setam) soaks into the bottom of the container. It leaks through causing the food to fall through. Suggestion, put foil/parchment paper on bottom before putting food in the container.

Very old days dinner. Love the atmosphere anf the music, kind of a nostalgic vibe. The place has been there gor 75 years. More regular customers, but you are welcome if you are new they treat you like old friends. Love it!
