Happy Thursday Everyone!!
I’ll let you in on a little secret … my fiancé and I love going out to eat. It’s not the best habit to get into but we love food! I’ve been meaning to write about our food adventures so, here goes.
I’m going to start with our favorite Minneapolis restaurants.
I don’t have pictures but I will start posting pictures soon.
Here is the countdown….
Number 5:
Buckboard Restaurant in Lakeville: This is a dive. Remember the TV show Alice? That’s Buckboard. However, do not let the appearance fool you. The food is terrific! They serve the basics-hamburgers, malts, great breakfast food.
My favorite: Egg White omelet with mushrooms, toast and orange juice.

Number 4: Zelo, Minneapolis
Great Italian food! Their décor is a little upscale and artsy but it is intimate and the service is wonderful!\
My favorite: Mushroom Risotto

Number 3: Crossroads Deli, Hopkins
If you want a filling meal, go to Crossroads. They have delicious deli food. I just had their fish sandwich but they have beautiful breads, pickles, cookies, cakes and ice creams.
My favorite: Bridgeman’s flavor of the day.

Number 2: Pizza Ranch, various locations
Good pizza. Great chicken and dessert pizza! I went to Pizza Ranch the first time for the pizza however, I keep coming back for the chicken. Yum! Their chicken is crispy and not greasy. Delicious! They staff is friendly and always attentive without being annoying. Go support your local Pizza Ranch.
My favorite: Chicken and peach dessert pizza.

Number 1….. Firelake Restaurants, Minneapolis, Bloomington
I was hesitant about including Firelake because I did not want anyone else to know about it. This restaurant is the best in town and they are not busy. We never had a bad meal there: breakfast or dinner. The service is perfect. They even gave us free dessert for saying it was our favorite restaurant.
My favorite: Rotisserie Chicken with Mushroom soup

I’ll be back with more.
