Manning's Cafe

Manning's is traditional, non pretentious food. The burgers are fresh and hand packed I recommend getting the burger serve with pepper jack cheese. I highly recommend the open faced sandwiches and Italian sausage dip both are traditional fare but made with quality ingredients and large portions. The meal is completed with a fresh grain belt served in a giant schooner. You cant go wrong with there happy hour as it is 2-4-1's on any rail and beer after 11. The servers are extremely prompt and care about there customers, probably why you see regular faces everyday of the week. Pros: Affordable, Great menu variety Cons: would like to see the tap beers rotate more often more

WOW....I've been coming to Manning's about once a year since I was about 7 with my family. It's an old hang out of my Dad's when he lived and worked in the Twin Cities briefly. I took my girlfriend there for the first time a couple days ago and both of us were impressed with the food (as I always have been) I had a good old cheese-burger. The first thing I like is that you get a choice of what kind of cheese you would like on the burger. Not something I find too often. Second, the burger is served on what I call a real cheeseburger bun. NO SESAME SEEDS. I ordered a half-order of Manning's home made onion rings. Delicious batter. My companion ordered the special of the day which for that day was a ribeye sandwich. Perfect, tender, and served on a delicious hoagie roll. The atmosphere of this place just adds to the traditional tavern type food. Wood panelling walls and a diverse clientele. There were blue collar workers, college students, retired persons, and a few shirts and ties. All around great place to be. I can only imagine the excitement in this place during a football game... Pros: Service was very good, food is tasty, free popcorn, sit in bar or sit in cafe... Cons: My stomach is only so big.... more

I love this place. Manning's serves delicious breakfast until 4PM on the weekends. If you go for supper you must try one of their delicious burgers. Order a 32 oz schooner with your meal and you will be back again, I assure you.\r \r Service is generally very good. Pros: Nice ambience, plenty of parking, good value on drinks and food. Cons: Some of the seating doesn't allow you to view television all that well. more
