Minneapolis
Joe's Garage
Minneapolis, MN, 55403, United States
Joe's Garage, an American food joint across the street from Loring Park on Harmon Place, has the gritty design touches you might expect with that name: stainless steel accents, bare cement floors, and exterior brick walls that, in places, look blasted so the dining room windows offer a view of the streetside scene. The extensive rooftop seating area - billed as the "original rooftop since 1996" - is the place to be in nicer weather. Burgers, both beef and pork, are the stars on the menu, but there are plenty of other options like the build-your-own potato bar, jambalaya risotto, or the SWG (strawberries, walnuts, and gorgonzola) salad.
Insider Tip:
If the tables on the rooftop are full but you had your heart on dining al fresco, consider the sidewalk seating area for a street-level experience.
