Hell's Cafeteria, in Minneapolis, is a cafeteria-style restaurant in Minnesota that serves up scratch-made classics to those who want their lunch quickly. So, get in line for a comfort food lunch.
The ownership group of the massively popular (and subterranean) Hell's Kitchen opened Hell's Cafeteria at street level in downtown Minneapolis to serve a lunch crowd who doesn't have time for a long wait - or those who just have a hankering for some tasty comfort food.
It harks back to the cafeteria restaurants of yesteryear, which it seems you can only find in hospitals, universities, or large corporate outposts (and the Minneapolis federal courthouse!) these days.
So, grab your tray and some cutlery and get ready to slide on down the line.
Check the board - or visit the cafeteria's social media - to see what specials or items from its rotating menu of options are available.
Hell's Cafeteria specializes in the short-order classics you might expect at this kind of spot, like smashed burgers and patty melts.
It also serves up a darn snappy Chicago dog.
Look for playful takes on cafeteria classics like the hot bison commercial, with sliced roast bison, mashed potatoes, and gravy on a slice of bread.
The restaurant's take on a corn dog is a lemon ricotta-battered hot dog - it's sweet and savory on a stick.
If you don’t feel like grabbing a tray and waiting in line - i.e., the classic cafeteria experience - Hell’s Cafeteria will let you order ahead, so you can just run in and pick up your lunch.
Visit the restaurant’s website for more information about its rotating weekly menu, daily specials, offerings, and online ordering. After your meal, consider a stroll across the nearby Stone Arch Bridge, which offers views of the Mississippi River and the Saint Anthony Falls area.
