We’ve been on the corner of 8th and Marquette for 20 years and that may just qualify us as an institution when it comes to the streetscape of Minneapolis. Established in 1992 by Kim Gruetzmacher, the 8th St Grill is family owned. The Grill considers its hardworking, friendly crew and loyal customers as part of that family.

    Had reservations for group of 9 prior to Theatre performance. Our table was ready when we arrived and we were seated promptly. The food options were quite diverse and very reasonably priced. Everyone in our group enjoyed their meals. Our server was on top of things without being intrusive. The tvs were playing a section of sporting events including the Twins game and a football game but we could visit easily without having to speak loudly. I would recommend this restaurant for eating before any event downtown.

    I usually have great experiences here over lunch, but there must have been a mixup between the waitress and the kitchen because the food took about 30 minutes to come out. The restaurant comped the meal without us even commenting on the delay, which was terrific. While I had hoped for a quicker lunch, the food was delicious.

    We were celebrating a 60th birthday, but were only on business lunch 1 hour time frame from work. Waitress was slow and non-apologetic. We asked her to check on our food after 30 min. She never came back to reply or apologize or give us an update. They were short-handed that day. We had to take our food and run - no time to eat. :-( We asked for the manager. He has since made it right with us for a return visit on him.

    Great downtown gathering place! We had superb service, and many Friday Lent fish and seafood choices to choose from. I personally loved the fish tacos, while my husband enjoyed the walleye filet. Our friends had the pot roast and the famous Reuben sandwich. Both seemed delighted with their choices. We will be back! :)

    Great restaurant in the heart of downtown Minneapolis to catch a client lunch or an afternoon beer. Service has always been good and accompanied by great food from a very extensive menu. If you have not tried this place you are missing out on a nice restaurant.

    We had good and sassy service but the food just wasn't up to par. I had a Reuben that frankly tasted more like a philly cheese steak. House made chips were greasy and flavorless.

    This has to be one of the most underrated spots to grab lunch downtown. The food is fresh and consistently good. For a more pub-type atmosphere, their salads/greens are also on par with any higher-end restaurant. I would recommend 8th Street to anyone seeking a tasty lunch, in an inviting, unpretentious atmosphere.

    I stumbled upon the 8th Street Grill in the summer looking for a place to have a few beers. I have since been back with clients to have lunch. Nice cozy restaurant that serves great food with a smile and courtesy. Great selection of various food items al0ong with a good beer list too! Hamburgers are very good. I highly recommend as it is also reasonably priced.

    8th street grill is a great place for work hour lunches, the service is good, the food is good and you can be in and out in under an hour, even with a larger group. Menu has something for everyone, mac and cheese and burgers are recommended.

    My experience was fantastic. My party arrived early, but the hostess was very accommodating. I had a friend who had a reservation around the same time and the hostess placed us at a table all together. The waiter was excellent. He was very knowledgeable about the menu and offered suggestions. He was also extremely friendly and made our first dining experience at this establishment very memorable.

    Potato chips was amazing. I almost ordered it for desert. I really want to go back for the chip, but after seeing an employee touching his mouth (looked like to pick food between his teeth), I am hesitating to go back. You should have special space for employee to eat, not in dining area.

    WE liked that we still got HH prices without having to sit in the bar. Each of us had different entrees and they were all wonderful. It was good to see a variety of ages in the place. The server was very pleasant and eager to help. We had a time frame to meet and the server was good at pacing us to meet it. Always love having their coupon from the downtown publication.

    We had reservations for Mother's Day Brunch. Plenty of seating when we arrived, sat quickly and the wait staff were very attentive. We were given some warm cinnamon rolls to start and a free mimosa for moms. The buffet had a good variety of items, though some seemed to not do well under the heated temperature (some soggy items). Great drink variety and friendly staff.

    My husband and I each enjoyed the best reuben sandwich we had ever tasted! I would highly recommend the flavorful sandwich on solid rye to anyone. I had fries with it which were also excellent, while my husband had the homemade potato chips. I was skeptical until I tried them, and wow! Light, crisp and delicious - a great surprise. All in all, this was a great place to stop for a bite prior to a Twolves game.

    Great location downtown with the best Reuben I have had in a long time! The corned beef was tender (more like a pot roast) and the thousand island had some spice at the end. The only downfall was the server took a while to give us our check, but when we got his attention he got it to us right away.
