Minnesota Nice Cafe

We waited over an hour to get seated and have coffee brought to us. We never got any water, we weren't even asked if we wanted water. Two tables near us, who came in after us, had eaten and left before we ever saw our food. The table next to us asked why the restaurant was so understaffed and the waitress, who was probably the owner, said they were fully staffed it was just busier than usual. Sad that the restaurant/owner can't admit they only care about the locals. Tourists are not welcome there. Wish I'd known this when I looked for a nice local place for breakfast. We went to Red Stu's and got served quickly and the food was excellent! The staff was attentive and nice! We left Red Stu's with full and happy tummy's! You want good breakfast go to Red Stu's!!!

These were the best pancakes I've ever had ! We also had amazing service. The prices were really fair for the huge portions we got. You can substitute your toast for pancakes?!? Amazing.
The coffee was good, I regret never trying any of the pies they had but boy there is no way I could have fit more food into me.
The country fried potatoes were not as good as the hashbrowns in my opinion so I'd recommend to go with the latter option in your meal.

The special was a Pecan Flapjack. I didn't know what to get so I went with special. I would argue it's the best pancake I ever had! Great service. It was busy but wait staff were so attentive. A favorite of mine for awhile and I will keep going back.

We stopped in for breakfast. It was busy, but quick service. We could tell the staff was happy as there was joking around.

I had the Eggs Florentine and the hollandaise was so delicious. The hashbrowns were crisp and not soggy, perfectly salted. My husband had the Lumberjack breakfast and was pleased with how crispy the bacon was, and how great the wheat toast turned out.

If we are back in Bemidji, you betcha we'll be back to Minnesota Nice.

Some of the best Cafe style food I have ever had. The full house has found this gem.

If I could give it 6 stars, I would! The staff was great and the food was excellent.

The wild rice soup was AMAZING and plentiful! A cup of soup is a small bowl's worth.

The Denver Omlete was filled with big chunks of ham, onions, and peppers. Not to mention lots of melted cheese!

Try the pancakes! They were also delicious. Great flavor even without syrup.

The place was packed when we arrived for lunch; now I know why. I will be back.

The food was fantastic we had the cornedbeef hash and the Irish Benedict. Both were fantastic. We also recommend the cranberry bread. Staff was nice and working hard to keep things safe during the pandemic. We will be back next time we are in town.

Awesome breakfast! The corned beef hash is house made and very, very good. Wild rice omelet was great. Pancakes were delicious!

Food was good. Waited longer than expected to order drinks & lunch but it was busy.

Always great food, a true destination.
