HELLO CITIZEN! – Citizen has the best scones in town, fantastic homemade sausage, a well-selected wine list, and the three day pork roast is reasonably priced and worth coming back for tomorrow. Welcome to 38th St, Citizen!
Still Looking for a decent restaurant in S Mpls! – Why is everything prepared with a hint of sweetness! Seriously, my potatoes were sweet, my friends serrano/bacon salad was sweet! Did the chef mistake sugar for salt?! First and last time diners. We live in S. Mpls and are still in search of a decent dinner place... Al Vento, Caps, and Dominguez aside (love these restaurants, just want a bistro/cafe that is worth eating at 2-3 times per week!) All I can say is, terrible. If you can't get bread and salad mix correct, then go ... read more
Each bite was better than the last – If your palate was satisfied by the industrial-sized canned food of Sweet Lorraines, then, yes. The fresh, msg-free food of Citizen may taste bland to you. Comparing Citizen to Sweet Lorraines is like comparing The Wedge to the corner Kwik Mart, the farmer's market to vending machine sandwiches. My advice is to ignore all the reviews and judge it for yourself. Here is my impression: The muffins were moist and flavorful without being too sweet and heavy. The homemade jam was an illuminatin... read more
Disappointed at one of this year's "best new places" – My husband and I went here last night after reading the review in MplsStpaul magazine. It was disappointing, not terrible, but I wouldn't go back. The french onion soup tasted more like left over beef broth with very few onions. My husband got the reuben which is quite different from normal reubens. They cure the corned beef there, which I thought was pretty tasty. The side pasta salad was worth one bite and then pushed away. I had the short ribs with mashed potatoes and... read more
Could be great but not quite there..... – We went for breakfast on xmas eve in search of something to tide us over until dinner. It was very clean and I liked the decor. The coffee was great but a little pricey. The meals were plain and somewhat lacking. The concept is cool but, I think this place could be great if they just put a little more effort into the meals. Asked for Ketchup and was given a homemade version, very watery and bland...
Sample Room owner Michael McKay brings the slow-food movement to a beloved spot in South Minneapolis. – In Short If Sweet Lorriane's was the home of good ol' Southern cooking, then Citizen's Café is the home of good ol' slow cooking. Now in the former home of Sweet Lorriane's in South Minneapolis, this neo American bistro specializes in unique and simple dishes made from scratch: cheddar-chive biscuits in the morning, and pork pate sandwiches, pork roasts and shallot-braised short ribs in the evening. Chef-owner Michael McKa... read more
Not for vegetarians – I went to the cafe for breakfast a couple of weeks ago to scope it out. The breakfast was fine. Good coffee. Fruit was fresh and juicy. I perused the lunch and dinner menu and was disappointed at the lack of non-meat options. Yes, they have an entree salad, but I usually want more when I'm out. They have a portobella sandwich, but aside from the fact that I can't eat mushrooms, a sandwich isn't always what I want for dinner. I certainly want more options from a restaurant. I was hoping that it would hav... read more
A Turn for the Good. Fresh, Organic, Local Options. – Breakfast at the Citizen was excellent. Indeed, it is a change from the once Sweet Lorraine's, but they opt to buy local and they offer a lot of organic. The coffee is organic and delicious. The Brioche French toast had very fresh blueberries and strawberries. Also tried was the eggs scramble (then you get your choice of 2 ingredients), hash browns (not greasy, thank you!) and fruit, was awesome. The only negatives I could find: substitutions are discouraged and no half o... read more
