SiouxAlumDenver Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 After the Sioux beat Michigan and us Sioux fans are hungover from the celebration, Mickey's Diner is the place to grab breakfast and cure the hangover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siouxnami Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Just don't go to chain restaurants... There are a ton of great local places in Uptown. Chino-Latino and Common Roots are 2 of my favoirte. Try any Surly Beer you can find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray77 Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 JD Hoyt's and Monte Carlo (both in Minneapolis) are good too. A bit on the spendy/fancy side, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let'sGoHawks! Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Before the games and Friday, these are all great picks for a nice lunch or dinner...however, after the game on thursday, and hopefully saturday, Taco Bell will taste just as good! I didn't mind Cosetta's, nothing real special I guess... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sioux Hockey Fanatic Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Ok-since you might be in St. Paul for the Frozen Four some good places in St. Paul to eat: Christo's -greek at the Union Depot they have a lunch buffet and regular menu El torro-mexican on Plato also just added a lunch buffet and this is definately not the type of food you will get in Grand Forks. Pazzaluna True Thia I will agree that Chino Latino is good however I have heard its declined recently although if you want something trendy and different its a great option. (and its in Minneapolis) every other one I have listed is St. Paul Lousiana Cafe on Dale and Selby great for breakfast its not even open for supper. Red Savoy also has excellent pizza Trattoria Da Vinci is also excellent for Italian food Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
