This Tiny Restaurant In Minnesota Always Has A Line Out The Door, And There’s A Reason Why
From the outside, Al’s Breakfast, in the Dinkytown neighborhood of Minneapolis, looks less like a stand-alone structure than a roofed-over alley between two buildings, but this tiny Minnesota restaurant’s food is so good that there’s almost always a line out the door.

Incoming students used to be told that Bob Dylan once lived above the narrow, single-story restaurant.

And people are willing to wait a long time for their chance to belly up.

In colder weather, especially, folks line up against the wall, hovering hungrily over those eating at the counter. (Whatever you do, don’t hold open the door while you wait, or you risk public excoriation from the staff).




There’s really nothing quite like breakfast at Al’s, cozied up to a dozen new friends that you’ve just met. Check out Al’s Facebook page for hours and specials. While you’re in Minneapolis, do some exploring and learn why it’s one of the most beautiful cities in the country.
