Dave's is great. Downtown Skyway restaurants took a hit, but Dave's has prevailed because they have great food and a really great crew of people that work there. Dave's is packed every day at lunch time . PRO TIP: You can order online and pick up your food in advance. Their breakfast menu is great too ! A fan of their chili, both the beef chili as well as their turkey chili ! The split pea soup is wonderful , as is the broccoli cheddar soup. Some of my favorite items there are the patty melt the grilled chicken sandwich and any of the salad, salads or wraps!

A solid place for a breakfast sandwich, wrap or salad. The place is beautifuly decorated for the holidays- it is an absolute joy to look around in. There are lots of tables and the service is quick. They also are great at catering boxes (the salads come with bread and a cookie, and the sandwiches with chips and a cookie, and both with a gummy snack). Prices are fairly low, and the food isn't fancy, but it is good. I ordered a chicken Caesar wrap and was very satisfied.

Went here on a work trip and was very impressed by the speed and quality of the meal. I got a Texas toast egg cheese and bacon sandwich and my first bite almost made me wanna move here. The restaurant is a decent size with nice fall decorations (when I went). Definitely recommend for anyone who is looking for a quick breakfast near the convention center and or in the skyway!

Food was delicious and tasted like real food. Amazing service all around. - Highly recommend the Chipotle wrap that has a bit of spice. Love simple places like this! 5/5

Service was fast, which is important during lunch time. The atmosphere is great and the restaurant is nicely decorated. The food is very good, especially the sandwiches! Lots to choose from! If you are downtown and wondering in the skyway, definitely check Dave's out!!!

GET THE BREAKFAST SANDWICH. This place is nice and organized - it may not look like much from the outside, but there's a system and it works. I came by for breakfast and opted for a breakfast sandwich and some hashbrown. The turkey bacon / egg sandwich was delicious - perfectly toasted, and an egg done just right. The hashbrown was not for me, some parts were overly crispy and others felt underdone, but hashbrowns can be hard to do, especially quickly and when there's a line of orders waiting to be complete. I cannot really speak to the service since I got my food to go, but I would drop by again if I were in town.

Stopped here for lunch. I got the cheeseburger on a pretzel bun and fries. It was excellent! Restaurant is located in the skyway in a corporate office building. There is nearby metered street parking if you are not walking in the skyways or already downtown for something else. Service was efficient and workers were friendly. Plenty of seating available. I will be back!

My co-workers and I were all in Downtown Minneapolis for a National Meeting for Target and we decided to go out for lunch together and they asked me where I have never been before. Surprisingly, Dave's Downtown came up. Now a lot of friends said I should try it, but 28 years after working at Target in Minneapolis, I finally tried it. It was pretty busy at about 11, but there was a line out the door when we left at 12. There are three stations to order from, grill, salads and sandwiches and wraps. They have the service down to a science. I ordered a spicy tuna melt with cottage cheese on the side. You can also get French fries or coleslaw. It was ready in about 5 minutes and I got a cup of water. After a tip, it came to about $15, We decided to sit down as a group and the bread wasn't too greasy, just perfectly grilled, almost like they made hundreds of these a day. Instead of a tuna patty, it was tuna salad with some cheese and I got all the accouterments added as well (tomato, pickle, etc.) It was good size and I dumped some Cajun seasoning on top of the cottage cheese, which was a nice scoop and really good. I think it was maybe full fat or maybe more than I am used to, because it was super creamy. I would have preferred a patty of tuna fish and filler, but okay. The sandwich was solid, maybe a tad too much mayonnaise, but it was good. My friend got the turkey club and wasn't a huge fan. Lots of options and I don't need to go back, but I am glad I tried it.

Highlights from the Menu:

For breakfast enthusiasts, the Breakfast Croissant Sandwich with eggs, meat, and cheese is a fan favorite. The Breakfast Burrito, filled with scrambled eggs, hashbrowns, and cheddar cheese, has garnered rave reviews for its satisfying flavor and generous portion. And if you’re in the mood for something sweet, try their Pastry Tray, perfect for sharing.

At lunch, their Patty Melt and Grilled Chicken Sandwich stand out among a roster of mouthwatering options. As one satisfied diner shared, the flavors feel incredibly authentic and “like real food.” It's no wonder that customers keep coming back for more!
