According to a list compiled by LoveFood, the best diner in Minnesota is Al’s Breakfast in Minneapolis.
Here's what LoveFood had to say about the best diner in the entire state:
"The location of Al’s Breakfast could hardly be more apt: this hole-in-the-wall diner, here since 1950, is in Minneapolis’ Dinkytown neighborhood (and it's just as adorable as that suggests). Al’s claims to be the narrowest diner in Minneapolis at just 10 feet wide, so it’s a miracle it manages to serve up such enormous breakfasts. Because it's so tiny there’s often a wait, though the delicious pancakes and fully loaded breakfast plates make it worth it."
