Best Casual Restaurants in South Minneapolis

I met 3 friends for lunch. We shared 2 meatballs as an appetizer. They were fantastic and 2 meatballs were plenty for an appetizer. Our meal orders were all over the menu. All were delicious but the winner was the "Minute Chicken". We shared the Banana Pudding for dessert. There was plenty to share and was the best banana pudding that I have ever had. The place was packed on this Tuesday for lunch, but our server, Jessie, treated us as if we were the only table in the house. I can't wait to go back.

We had an incredible time at Hell’s Kitchen and can’t say enough great things about the experience! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was electric and inviting. Our server, Phoebe, was absolutely outstanding—attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. She made sure every detail of our meal was perfect, going above and beyond to ensure we had an unforgettable dining experience. The entertainment provided by Mark Joseph was the icing on the cake! His talent and energy elevated the entire morning, creating a lively and memorable ambiance. And, of course, the food—WOW! The fruit pancakes were impeccably prepared and bursting with flavor. It was a true culinary masterpiece, and we savored every bite. We’ll definitely be back and can’t wait to relive this amazing experience. Thank you to the entire team at Hell’s Kitchen for a Birthday to remember!

Wonderful dining on a Friday night. Jazz combo. Wonderful food—bread, salads, salmon and bass. Delightful service. Subdued lighting.

We have eaten at Mill Valley Kitchen several times before so when we were planning to meet with friends for lunch we suggested Mill Valley Kitchen. They also really enjoyed the food and the ambience. Our server was very good as well. We will return!

Great birthday celebration for my granddaughter . Very memorable experience and the food was great!!
