Diner Reviews
  • "Great atmosphere. Energetic but not so loud you need to yell to have a conversation. My favorite restaurant"
    Dined on 3/1/2014
  • "Had a great brunch here last weekend with my family. It started with excellent service from our waitress, Jody, who was a delight. We ordered the all you can eat brunch and barely made it through the first plate. Everything was wonderful, except the eggs, which were obviously some sort of imitation egg. Overall a great dining experience and we'll be back."
    Dined on 3/2/2014
  • "Terrific atmosphere for those looking for eclectic but masculine contemporary. Buddy bowl with grilled shrimp is the best starter! Crab cakes are excellent for dinner. Server Katy and Chef eager to make any item on menu more healthy by leaving out butter and sauces."
    Dined on 3/1/2014
  • "First time here...the service was awesome. I had steak covered with crab cake and bearnaise sauce...asparagus and hashbrowns. It waz really good. My husband had swordfish...not so great..dry and pretty bland. The ambiance and decor is not fancy, it is like a fancied up Perkins with a bar but overall its a nice place with good food, good wine list and good service. We paid anout $100 for our meal with 2 glasses of wine and an appetizer. Its not cheap but also not horribly expensive. We would come back."

  • "Best kept secret in Minneapolis. Great food and service!"
    Dined on 2/26/2014
  • "We took family from out of town here and they requested to come back for a birthday celebration. The birthday celebration was this weekend and everyone had a great time. As always the ribs and chop combo was a big hit! Don't skip the chocolate ice cream dessert, it's worth every calorie!"
    Dined on 2/22/2014
  • "Our first time to Minneapolis and we wanted to try a couple of different restaurants. Dinner at JD Hoyt's was a wonderful time. My wife and I went on a Sunday evening; relatively quiet at that time. The food was great, the portions were sizable and the waitress was one of the best we have ever had...incredibly pleasant and accommodating. Back to this place in a heartbeat!"
    Dined on 2/16/2014
  • "Food was tasty but not hot at all, neither was the bread, not a fan of cold cheeses bread. I would give it one more try cuz I have heard all good reviews."
    Dined on 2/16/2014
  • "With this Living Social deal that was available, the kitchen was not able to keep up. We waited for an hour before we even were served with our food. Taking an hour to make two plates of brunch is unacceptable. What should we have expected if we wanted second plates? Another hour?"
    Dined on 2/16/2014
  • "The food was tasty but they were out of a lot of. Service attitude was good but very slow and took multiple requests to get things."
    Dined on 2/16/2014
  • "We haven't been here in over 10 years. Food was as great as we remembered and our server was awesome. Can't wait for spring/summer and we'll be hanging out on patio weekly!"
    Dined on 2/14/2014
  • "My husband and I dined here for Valentines! The food was amazing as was the service! Our server Annie was top notch! She was friendly and engaging and made us feel like we were VIP's. The Pork chop, the ribeye with peppercorn sauce and the asparagus were all fabulous. Thanks for such an amazing experience!! We will be back!"
    Dined on 2/14/2014
  • "We were expecting more of a 'steak house' type of menu but the menu fell far short. The menu was pretty loaded with Cajun and Jamaican types of dishes which again was not what we were expecting since we were eating at a 'steak house'. The appetizers were quite unappealing but we tried the Buddy Bowl to see how it was and it turned out to be unimpressive. I had the bone in rib eye steak which was good and my wife had the scallops which were lousy. They were dry and over cooked with no flavor at all other than the smokey flavor from the grill. The vegetables were very average and the desert was right up there with Applebee's. With a bill of over $100 (no alcohol) we were very disappointed and would rate the food at average to below average."
    Dined on 2/15/2014
  • "Rosie & I make it a point to get down to the restaurant for every Valentines day. The soft background music is very nice and the ambience of the table setting along with soft lighting is very romantic. The food is over the top, their signature Pork chops or Ribs are second to none and sides and deserts very nice. We get down to JD Hoyt's about four times per year and can't wait for our next dining experience. Randy Jensen"
    Dined on 2/14/2014
  • "Fabulous! Valentine menu was excellent! Started with the crab avocado salad and enjoyed steak and lobster dinner! Mmmmm!"
    Dined on 2/15/2014
  • "I heard so many good reviews. So we decided to come here for Valentine's Day. I have to say I am disappointed. We made a reservation, but didn't get seated until 20 min later. I don't know what reservation means to them but 20 min wait for a table? That doesn't sound right. We ordered buddy bowl which is really salty. Pork chop is very dry. My steak is good.... yeah, 100 dollar a meal, only the small piece of steak is good. I don't think we will come back again."
    Dined on 2/14/2014
  • "We came to Jd Hoyts for an early Valentine's Dinner because it's a place I have been wanting to try and we were very impressed. WE both enjoyed great food, good service and overall fabulous experience. We will be returning!"
    Dined on 2/13/2014
  • "From the hostess to our waitress the staff was genuine and personable. The food was a delightful experience at a great price! If you like asparagus have them grill it for you and you will be in heaven!"
    Dined on 2/10/2014
  • "I love JD Hoyt's for it's food and if you are nostalgic, it looks like a restaurant from the 40's. They could improve the atmosphere easily by getting rid of the hideous vinyl table cloths and paper covering the vinyl. It's not like the vinyl is protecting precious wood tables, they're formica. Anyway, if they'd invest in a white linen and laundry service, the place would be a bit nicer. But I guess it doesn't stop their fans from coming anyway. The food is great and I love the option of individual, sharing or family-style portions."
    Dined on 2/9/2014
  • "The brunch was overly seasoned to the point of being unenjoyable. All 3 of the people in my party felt the same way. This was surprising because the dinner menu at this restaurant is really tasty. Also, the service was terrible. It took an hour for our food to come out and our waitress was extremely rude. After this brunch experience, I will not be returning to this restaurant and neither will the other people in my party."
    Dined on 2/9/2014
  • "Service second to none. You will enjoy your experience here."
    Dined on 1/26/2014
  • "This was our first time dining at JD Hoyt's. We chose it for our anniversary dinner. The food was wonderful and the service was great. Will definitely be back again."
    Dined on 2/1/2014
  • "I took my husband here for his birthday with the hopes of trying some place new, without completely breaking the bank. We loved the ambiance of the restaurant; very unique. It smelled divine! Great service - very good valet service. We'd go back for sure!"
    Dined on 1/31/2014
  • "For starters, we had an incredible waitress and that can cover up a multitude of sins. There were five in our group and three chose the 15 dollar AYCE brunch and two had the waffles. If I were to do it over again, I'd go for the ala carte menu stuff. The waffles looked incredible and by all accounts were as good as they looked. The brunch comes with a lot of stuff, but none of it is particularly impressive, but one's first plate will pretty much hold you through the rest of the day. And unlike many AYCEs, the waitress brought the food and would have been willing to keep it coming. Also, the beignet's at the end of the brunch were tasty, but beware, the powdered sugar has no intention of being eaten and will attack your clothing."
    Dined on 2/2/2014
  • "My wife and I visit minneapolis several times a year and are always looking for quality dining, unfortunately jd Hoyt's is not one of those. We had a dinner reservation for 8:15 , the place was so noisy you couldn't hear yourself..got to our table, ordered waitress recommended entrees..the porkchop and grilled scallops, porkchop barely fit to eat, scallops so over seasoned that only half were eaten...we will not be going back. Wait staff was very nice"
    Dined on 2/1/2014
  • "The Prime Rib and the Ribs & Chop were excellent, probably the best we ever had."
    Dined on 2/1/2014
  • "My wife had the swordfish, which was thick, moist and cooked just right. Our friends had the signature pork chops. They were HUGE. I had the lobster tail which was very good, and for $20, a great deal. We all split a side dish of lobster risotto, which was outstanding. Can't wait to go back. J.D. Hoyt's is one of the most consistent, and best, restaurants in Minneapolis."
    Dined on 2/1/2014
  • "First visit after talking about going there for years. Interesting and extensive menu, good food, excellent service. Portions are huge actually too big."

  • "I had the Sunday Brunch, it was wonderful. Plenty of food and unlike many brunch places it was made fresh to order. No standing in line and eating picked over food."
    Dined on 1/26/2014
  • "The portions for brunch here are incredible... we had enough leftover to box up for another meal at home. We have been going to JD Hoyts for years and they have great service & food."

  • "It was a rare night out for my siblings and spouses and we really enjoyed the energy and great food."
    Dined on 1/25/2014
  • "We always book JD's for birthdays, celebrations and eat there often. It is a good "go to" where food is always tasty with alot of variety. The fish special is my favorite, my husband loves their famous pork chop and if you like spicy the buddy bowl is good for people that like a "kick" Roasted veggies are great with the grilled items and the owner does a great job making everyone feel welcome. Valet parking in the winter is nice to get into the warm and cozy restaurant. We love JDs!"
    Dined on 1/22/2014
  • "We had a wonderful time and great food. Everything was cooked just the way we ordered it. Desserts were easy to share for 2"

  • "Had a great experience with four other friends on a Friday night. Celebrating a birthday, everyone had good food, great pours from the bar, and wonderful service in a restaurant that has the best atmosphere downtown. Buddy bowl, salmon, pork chops, chicken, filet - no matter what was ordered, everyone raved about their dish. Can't wait to go back."

  • "Excellent food, I don't remember ever having a better steak. Superb service - very knowledgeable server. Will definitely go back."
    Dined on 1/18/2014
  • "My husband was a patron years ago, so we decided to celebrate our anniversary here, having just moved to the Loop last month. A bit too noisy and sports-barish for our taste, Hoyt's made up for it with a highly attentive staff, the best ribs we've had in years and a free, amazing dessert (caramel cake--not on the menu!) and a personal thank you from one of the owners. The won us over and we'll be back!"
    Dined on 1/16/2014
  • "We had an outstanding experience on a busy Saturday night. We had reservations for a group of 9 and we were seated and served promptly. There were several other large parties as well. Our server was OUTSTANDING. She was attentive and had a great personality to match our loud and sometimes "boisterous" guests. Our food was great and the portions large - all the orders were correct. Another note, there was not waiting on cocktail refills. :-) Everyone had a great time. I would definitely go to Hoyt's again with a group or just as a couple."
    Dined on 1/11/2014
  • "The food was fine, but not great and not sophisticated. This is definitely not a restaurant fit for foodies. Our server was adorable and very helpful."
