Revisited an old favorite recently! Happy to say they are still offering great service and delicious food The cocktails were tasty and pretty colors Buddy bowl is prob my fav thing to order here The lobster risotto was a nice change from my usual steak order The Cajun tenderloin tips were really good but not a fan of the dipping sauces The Cajun pork chop got the least fave bite at the table was a little dry and lacked flavor- unusual as this used to be their signature dish! Could have been an off day Old school supper club vibes here - think old school New York dining scene

Sadly, no photos to share, but we had a wonderful experience at J.D. Hoyts this past weekend. Everything was wonderful, from the friendly staff, to the ambiance, to of course - the food. We ordered the famous Buddy Bowl and a salad to start. Both came with the famous garlic cheese toast. Everything was delicious! For our entrees, we got the famous grilled pork chops, which I highly recommend. We also ordered the barbecue chicken and the Cajun pasta. You honestly cannot go wrong with any of the food here. There's going to be something for everyone!! Our server was amazing and so was the other restaurant staff. They really have an amazing way of making guests feel just at home. Already looking forward to our next trip to Minneapolis to visit again!!
