"I was in Minnesota for a family thing . Being a lakegirl now living in Texas, I was able to meet up with a friend or two while here and found myself at The Northern for breakfast. We were seated immediately and our server was on hand quickly to get that morning coffee rolling in at our table. Good coffee at that. Good coffee on a snowy morning always starts my breakfast experience out on a very high note! My dear friend from high-school class of '79! and I both elected for breakfast boats deconstruct ed which means we didn 't want our items stacked. I am sure its perfect as made, but I am one of those picky eaters that doesn 't even want my toast touching my eggs. Sorry! Just my preference! Our server and the kitchen was completely on board with that request and a short time later, my boat less the boat arrived piping hot to our table. Eggs were good. Hashbrowns crispy that 's how I like them! and I opted for rye toast which was amazing. I didn 't get a picture of the food because we dug in so quickly, before I thought about pictures, my plate was clean less a few crumbs . Oops! I tend to get forgetful like that. I noticed when leaving they have an assortment of t-shirts and apparel. I wanted a zip up hoodie but didn 't see one so I didn 't grab my souvenir from there. I would definitely return if and when I am in the area again. Their main menu has a ton of options... appetizers, burgers, salads... something for everyone really. Oh! They have a patio was not patio weather that morning and you may even have a close encounter with BigFoot ; We did! Families to friends. Stop in and get out of the snow or rain or heat or mosquitoes , sit down and have yourself a nice meal with good friendly Minnesota food, folks and hospitality."
