My favorite summertime restaurant is Joe's Garage Restaurant & Bar in Minneapolis, MN
I love, love, love Joe's and here is why:
1) It's hip, it's eclectic, it's fun.
2) They have the best burgers in the world.
3) They have the BEST mash potatoes that are a meal in and of themselves....REALLY!
4) They have the best roof top patio with views of The Basilica Cathedral and the Minneapolis skyline.
Now more about the potatoes. You can build your own Mash Potatoes and here is my favorite:
Two Scoops of Mash Potatoes with Red Thai Sauce and Broccoli.
It just doesn't get any better. The spiciness of the Thai sauce, the crunchiness of the perfectly done broccoli, the yummy potatoes...need I say more.
I know I should branch out more but here is what my husband and I do almost every time we go there:
He orders the burger. I order the potatoes. We share. THEN we order dessert.
If you live in the Minneapolis/St. Paul metro area and haven't tried Joe's Garage Restaurant & Bar you are missing out!!
