Sezchuan Spice

The Kung Pao Chicken Chili is really good.

Healthy food Downtown

The Smack Shack food truck. Lobster roll.

Looking for a Burger / Beer joint -NOT chain. (north)

Take the time to drive to South Minneapolis to Buster's on 28th. Why? Fresh baked buns, freshly ground burger which cooked to perfection, plenty of topping options including cream cheese with chipotle, hand cut fries, and home made ketchup. You will not be disappointed. Just had one today...

Where can I get ground veal near Champlin?

Yes, Von Hanson's did have it in their freezer section. It is a bit spendy at $9.99 a pound but hopefully the meatballs turn out well...

I appreciate all the recommendations!!

I don't think Cub or Von Hanson's has it.

Baltimore Inner Harbor - Crab Restaurant?

Looking for a Blue Crab place on Friday night.

I'm leaning towards trying Either Tony Luke's or Pat's and Steve's Prince of Steaks. Is Pat's worth a shot due to nostalga?

(Note: This thread was split from the Minneapolis-St. Paul board at http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/442373#6429211 since it was meandering over to cheesesteaks in Philly instead of in MSP. -- The Chowhound Team)

I'm headed to Philadelphia the end of the month. Which restaurant should I go to for a Philly Cheesesteak?

Mandarin in Brooklyn Park

Never mind.

Does anybody have any feedback on Mandarin? I've heard they have very good Pho.

BBQ, Minnesota Monthly, Q Fanatic

That is a big sandwich. Did the meat have a nice smoke taste?

Had an awesome pork sandwich from Scott Ja Mama's yesterday. No, not BBQ, but a solid sandwich, lot's of meat, good hot sauce, tasty cole slaw, bag of chips. Price......$5 and he said go ahead and grab a soda from the fridge. It's solid.

Quality Minneapolis Chinese Lunch Buffet

Any recommendations other than Tea House or Pings?

Thank you,

BBQ, Minnesota Monthly, Q Fanatic

We went the other night at about 7:45 on a whim. The guy was the rudest person I've ever dealt with. He had an issue with us ordering food because they close at 8. He should have just said were closed. We asked if we could get a pulled pork sandwich and a chicken sandwich. I asked for the vinegar sauce. He asked me if I had ever had it before (not sure why). Then when we didn't order something to drink he had another issue. We said forget it and walked out. Just say your closed if you don't want to sell your food. What a joke.

Chicago Style Subs?

I've thought a lot about having a Portillo's in the metro area. I think it would take a little time to catch on, but think there is enough variety in the menu that it would work. Thoughts? I'm thinking the Maple Grove are would support it.

Minneapolis - Quang - couple of questions

The sliced beef 505 is always consistent, good lean meat. The stew meat MFH mentions was inedible.

Tea House Plymouth - Lunch Buffett

Just got back from a lunch buffett visit with a friend. I have to say, this place must be hurting for money. Many of the lunch options were empty. The food was sub-par. I can understand if it's busy it is hard to keep the chafing dishes full, but this was a joke. Pick up your own fork, knife and napkin from the buffett. Anybody else been there lately? Maybe we just hit it on a bad day, but that was horrible.

Thank you for all the guidance.

Minneapolis - Quang - couple of questions

The standard order has been the sliced beef Pho - 505. In wanting to go off the board for something different, what recommendations would you have? Are the salads good? How about sandwiches?

Thank you for your feedback.

J.C.'s Barbecue--new in MPLS

The before and after pictures are great!

MSP - Work Dinner Recommendation

I need some recommendations for private dining in downtown Minneapolis for approximately 15 people. I would like to try to find a place that does not charge room rental and would be upbeat and fun.

Need recommendations for Appleton Wisconsin

I will be there 4 days next week. Looking for lunch and dinner.

Philly Cheesesteak in Minnesota

The Philly Cheesesteak at Red's Savoy was awesome:

Philly Steak and Cheese $6.95
Grilled ribeye steak, sauteed onions, banana peppers, pepper relish, lettuce, tomato, onion and mayo with your choice of provolone or cheese whiz

The pepper relish was interesting and added a nice bit of heat. The meat was cooked on the grilltop and cut up. It's worth trying.

Minneapolis - Lunch Buffets

Can you please make some recommendations for some Minneapolis Lunch buffets?

Good rye in MPLS

A friend brought over some Rye bread from Mort's Deli. It was outstanding. Plenty of extra rye seeds in the bottom of the bag.
