Minnesota’s Best Hole-in-the-Wall Restaurant Now One of The Best in the US

There's nothing quite like stumbling upon a hidden gem of a restaurant, the kind of place that’s easy to miss but impossible to forget.

Love Food recently named the best hole-in-the-wall restaurant in each state. Which Minnesota spot takes the cake? Or shall I say pancake? ;)

This tiny treasure isn’t new to the spotlight. It’s already made waves nationally and even earned a seal of approval from none other than Guy Fieri. That’s right, this local favorite has been featured on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives and has been named one of the absolute best in Minnesota.

This Hole-in-the-Wall Restaurant is Now Minnesota’s Best

So, which one of those fantastic spots is now known as Minnesota's best hole-in-wall restaurant? Serving up mouthwatering meals for decades, it's a true hole-in-the-wall. Drumroll please: We're talking about Al's Breakfast, located in Dinkytown!

The location could hardly be more apt: this tiny slice in the wall is just as adorable as the location suggests. It claims to be the narrowest diner in Minneapolis, with a width of just 10ft – so skinny, it’s a wonder there’s enough space for the huge breakfasts that have been served here since 1950. People love the place for its fun, old-timey atmosphere and warm, friendly service. - LoveFood

The charming spot is a local favorite, known for its hearty dishes, unbeatable prices, and cozy atmosphere. Plus, their legendary buttermilk pancakes - topped with your choice of sweet or savory - are a must-try according to online reviews.
