Description

On any given Sunday, as the faithful gather at their churches to sing, praise, and pray, another kind of worshiper lines up on the stairway to Hell. "Why people would wait two hours for brunch boggles my mind," Hell's Kitchen chef/co-owner Mitch Omer says of the lines at his restaurant. "I wouldn't wait two hours to meet the pope." Omer and his fellow chef-owner, Steve Meyer, moved Hell's Kitchen into a vast, subterranean lair that was formerly the home of Rossi's steak house and jazz club and it still can barely contain the crowds. With its pajama-clad brunch staff, and gothic decor, Hell's has more personality than most downtown eateries and it might be the only place in town whose caramel rolls are worth considering selling one's soul to the devil. The lemon ricotta hotcakes are as light as angel wings and the sausage bread is not-to-be-missed. For lunch or dinner, Hell's bison burgers and walleye BLTs are preferable to the more experimental items, but overall, it's a helluva place.

  • 2012 | Best Place to Meet Women (Lesbian)

    Grown and Sexy, the quarterly queer performance and dance party, sells out at Hell's Kitchen because DJ Shannon Blowtorch, Sweetpea, and Nadine DuBois team up to provide a unique blend of crowd participation and socialization, fertile ground for meeting someone special. Move your body in marathon dance-party style to soul, funk, hip hop, Top 40, electro, Latin, and club bangers. Pull a hottie aside and enjoy one of the pop-up performances at the top of every hour from a romantic stage-side... More »

  • 2011 | Best New Hipster Hangout

    It's hard to get a hipster out of his usual hang, where he can get served before the long line of schmucks waiting for drinks and is guaranteed his favorite spot any night of the week, be it at the pool table or holding court at a corner booth. When Hell's Kitchen moved into the garden-level space formerly occupied by Rossi's, it not only gained a bigger dining area and a new menu but also more space for live music on its ample stage, with plenty of room in front of it for dancing, or just...

  • 2010 | BEST BLOODY MARY

    You wake up at 11 a.m. You're in your bed but have no recollection of how you got home. Your memory of the night before is hazy at best--a mess of scenes and sound bites with no sense of context or a timeline. Archived text messages suggest you agitated relationships with people you have not seen or heard from in years. You need something to curb the morning remorse and silence the incessant buzzing audible only to you. Our suggestion: Hobble over to Hell's Kitchen and order a tall... More »

  • 2009 | Best Breakfast

    Hell's Kitchen is not the place to go when you wake up on a Sunday morning and feel like, well, hell. With a tongue numbed by an evening of cigarettes and a head clouded with the after-effects of too much booze, one can't properly appreciate a breakfast menu that is a far cry from greasy hangover fare. Take the Mahnomin porridge, for example. Chef Mitch Omer layers homegrown Minnesota wild rice with hazelnuts, cranberries, and blueberries and douses it all in a mixture of maple syrup and... More »

  • 2006 | BEST BREAKFAST

    Breakfast is the new lunch. Just ask the downtown Minneapolis business types, already stuffed into suits at 7:30 in the morning. They've got their planners spread out not on some polished wood conference table in a high-rise, but on a café table at Hell's Kitchen. Are they actually getting any work done Impossible. Because they've got massive plates of huevos rancheros ($9.95) in front of them, with sides of thick, chewy applewood-smoked bacon that keep tempting their greasy fingers... More »

  • 2005 | BEST BREAKFAST

    The waitstaff may be wearing pajamas, but there are a number of visuals at Hell's Kitchen that just don't jibe with your usual morning routine. The bloodred walls are lined with Ralph Steadman's dark and drippy drawings and Gary Larson's devilish Sunday comics. Vultures perched in tree branches inhabit the restaurant's back wall, watching over any diner unlucky enough to be facing north. But forget impending death by taking comfort in the menu: lemon ricotta hotcakes, buffalo sausage, and... More »

    Nice Purse

    By Erin Roof | Wed, February 15, 2012

    Nice Purse seem like they should be a cute band. Their sing-along lyrics and hippies-with-clean-hair look seem almost fresh-faced in this sloppy rock 'n' roll town. But if from afar they look like fuzzy kitties eating cotton candy, that makes the ... More »

    Loved the sea bass with pineapple salsa. The bison burgers are half pounders and others in my party raved about theirs.

    Great food, great atmosphere, great decor. I have been there a few times and never regretted it. I was hesitant on trying the sausage bread, but was glad I did.

    GREAT food, little pricey, kind of pain to get to in Down town, but totally worth it!
