4worldlovers:
Afro Deli is a fusion restaurant that weaves together business, community, and culture. We are a social enterprise that offers freshly made African, Mediterranean, and American themed food in a fast, fun, and friendly environment.

Reasons why I’m a big fan of @AfroDeli : their food is absolutely delicious, their customer service is top notch, and their love, concern, and care for the community is unsurpassed. Thanks for all you do.

Afro Deli’s Chicken Fantastic is so widely loved that @MayorCarter himself stopped by to give his own personal endorsement. #WelcomeBackStPL

If you haven't already - get the Somali tea from @AfroDeli ... definitely one of those things that will set the holiday flavors off in your life!

4worldlovers: With over 33 years in the restaurant industry, we’ve built a long-standing reputation for delicious food, complex flavors, and fast, friendly service.

“Local recommendations brought us here and now we’ve been here non-stop! They’re fast, friendly, and very delicious! They also do amazing to-go orders; good packaging and full set of utensils to enjoy the dishes.

My favorite is definitely the classic #503 Pho Combo when you want that OG pho fix – it comes with beef, meatballs, tripe, tendons, and brisket. Hearty, warm broth that reminds me of home; not too sweet or overly flavored. Their #511 BBH with Spicy Beef & Pork Hock is also to die for! Has more of a kick in spice and flavor. The chili oil in the soup really brings out the flavor of the meat. And when you combine it with the veggies that come on the side of each pho/noodles? Divine.”

“Blew my expectations for authentic Vietnamese food in Minneapolis right out of the water. Such great Bún bò Huế ($10)!! Taste just like the places from back in California. Although, they use different beef, the flavor was still there and super delicious! I will definitely be back.

If you’re looking for an authentic Vietnamese restaurant, this is the place! It isn’t just pho and spring rolls. They also have a lot of other traditional foods like Bun Ca and Bahn Cuon. The Pho Tai Bo Vien ($9) was also tasty, but it had a strong taste of star anise.”

“You cannot beat the Vietnamese cuisine at Quang’s. An eat street staple, they’re best known for their Pho but have many other delicious goodies on the menu.

They also underwent a facelift right before the pandemic hit and it has a clean, modern vibe with expanded space in a private event room and front patio area.

I always start with the tofu spring rolls. Their peanut sauce can’t be beat.

4worldlovers: They've got a lot going on inside: cafeteria-style ordering, dining area that feels like you're in a Mexican courtyard, a more formal dining area with full service, and a full bar. Most importantly: hot tamales." - Kara D.

4worldlovers: Matt’s Bar & Grill, now a Minneapolis landmark, began in 1954 as a neighborhood burger eatery. Shortly after we opened, founder Matt Bristol explains how the “Jucy Lucy” was created when a local customer asked for two hamburger patties with a slice of cheese in the middle. Upon biting into this new, molten hot burger, he exclaimed “that’s one juicy Lucy”, and a legend was born. Customer demand grew so quickly, we forgot to add the “i” and the “Jucy Lucy” has now become a local culinary hero. Remember, if it’s spelled correctly, you just might be eating a shameless ripoff!


Matt's has received numerous awards, and has appeared in publications from Hamburgers Across America to the The New York Times. Matt's has been featured on the Travel Channel's Man Vs. Food and Food Wars, where we won the best tasting "Jucy Lucy" in town. Each "Jucy Lucy" is carefully handmade with the freshest, high-quality beef and filled with the molten hot cheese you can only find at Matt's. Once you've had our "Jucy Lucy", you'll understand why our motto is "Fear the Cheese!"
