Reviews for Jax Cafe in Minneapolis, MN

Classic place, have been going for ages. The Christmas decorations in the patio were beautiful. Food was pretty decent. We had... the salmon, prime rib, perogi, roasted tomatoes and goat cheese, creme brulee, and key lime pie. Service was decent, food wasdecent. Will return Read more

I was talking to somebody at a party while I was here, and they had been here at the same restaurant in 1965. It’s a staple,... it’s right out of a time warp and it’s still completely lovely. If you’re looking for something a little bit fabulous, yetlow-key enough to just wear jeans- you found it! Perfect for a nightcap, or bringing a date to a quiet booth. Read more

Our group of friends has been going to Jax for about 10 years. Until the need for their latest interior renovation, we used the... front group seating area and it has been idea. This time, it was beautiful weather and we fit in on the back patio. We were inthe shade under an overhead cover and near the restaurant’s back entrance. We enjoyed the exceptional view of their gardens.So full of color! And nice to walk around and view the flowerpots up close after we ate. While Jax sits on the corner of a busyintersection, ample parking is available in the lot just across on the eastside. And that keeps you out of the faster traffic onUniversity Ave when crossing the street to eat. They offer a nice variety on the menu for brunch and dinners. Several in ourparty are pleased with their drink menu. The food is consistently good. I ordered the prime rib hash, and there was hardly anyprime rib in it. The fried green tomatoes are delightful – a fun way to eat your vegetables. The Classic Eggs Benedict isexcellent, as is the Prime Rib, Au Jus. When it comes to salads, I highly recommend their Berries and Fried Goat CheeseSalad. This summer they seem to be a bit short on staff – like just about everyone. They were good at refilling coffee andmimosas. We really enjoyed the Sunday buffets they once held. The spread and staff were truly exceptional. I recommend that yousit on the outdoor patio if weather permits! Read more

Omg the outdoor seating area is beautiful! The food was good and nice service. The indoor seating area had some beautiful... stained glass - but it has a weird smell. Smells “old”. Would definitely go back, but maybe not sit inside. Read more

We had our dinner on the patio. We were back in a corner so it was quiet and more private. The patio was beautiful. A perfect... evening. We both had the fillet mignon. Cooked perfectly. We had the au gratin potatoes & loaded baked potato. Easy to get to.Plenty of parking. Read more

I hosted the May Brown Skin Brunchin' for the Minneapolis Chapter @ JAX Cafe. From making reservations through the end my... experience was pleasant. We enjoyed the ambiance, service and food and the fellowship of sisterhood. Read more

This was my first visit. I went for brunch with a group of friends. The place sits on the corner of a busy intersection, but... there is a (free) parking lot across which was nice. They offer a decent amount things on the menu for brunch, and their drinkmenu is nice as well. Sadly I was not too impressed with the food. I ordered the prime rib hash, and there was hardly any primerib in it. The fried green tomatoes were bland, and had this thick breading on them. The service was decent, we had a womannamed Sheila, and a guy named Mark (I think). They kept the mimosas coming, and checked on us often take sure things were goingwell. They have an outdoor patio which is beautifully set up! It wasn't the nicest weather so we did not sit outside. Read more
