Every state has that one unassuming spot that locals cherish and the food speaks louder than the decor.

With a modest exterior and no-nonsense atmosphere, it's the kind of place you might pass by without a second glance. But step inside, and you’ll find unforgettable flavors, generous portions, and recipes passed down through generations. This eatery doesn't aim to impress with ambiance; instead, it wins hearts with authenticity, warmth, and delicious food.

Often family-owned and proudly unpolished, hole-in-the-wall restaurants offer a dining experience that feels like home. In a state full of flashy food trends and polished dining rooms, this humble gem rises above the noise by doing one thing exceptionally well: making amazing food, every single time. It’s a best-kept secret for some, a weekly ritual for others, and a must-try destination for anyone who believes great meals are about taste, not tablecloths.

According to a list compiled by LoveFood, the best hole-in-the-wall restaurant in Minnesota is Al’s Breakfast in Minneapolis.

Here's what LoveFood had to say about the best hole-in-the-wall eatery in Minnesota:

"The location of Al’s Breakfast could hardly be more apt; this tiny slice in the wall is in Minneapolis’ Dinkytown neighborhood, and it's just as adorable as the location suggests. It claims to be the narrowest diner in Minneapolis, with a width of just 10ft – so skinny, it’s a wonder there’s enough space for the huge breakfasts that have been served here since 1950. People love the place for its fun, old-timey atmosphere and warm, friendly service."
