Mason Jar Kitchen is a lovely, lesser-known restaurant in the southern suburbs of St. Paul, Minnesota. More specifically, it's tucked away in Eagan - but still well within reach for most who live in the Twin Cities area.

Inside, you'll find a modern restaurant with a twist. True to its name, dozens of mason jars hang from the restaurant's ceiling as lights. They add a rustic, country feel to the space. Below the lights, plenty of tables spread out to offer room for groups both large and small.

The menu at Mason Jar is full of great choices. You cannot go wrong with a sandwich or burger. Each is made fresh, full of flavor, and served in hearty portions sure to fill you up.

If you're not interested in a sandwich, there are plenty of other choices. Pastas, steaks, seafoods, and more fill the lunch and dinner menus.

You can even get some truly delicious stone oven pizzas loaded with ingredients. And if you'd like to visit in the morning, you can't go wrong with breakfast - especially on weekends, when they serve an outstanding brunch!

All of this is great, but many people come here specifically for the tater tot hotdish. After all, it's rare to find a restaurant that serves this Minnesota classic! It's made with ground beef, corn, house-made cream of mushroom soup, cheese, and - of course - tater tots.

The melty cheese, mixed with the crispy tots and savory meat, will have you coming back for spoonful after spoonful. This is a comfort food classic that tastes just like home. You won't want to miss it!
