American Restaurant Named Best Family-Run Restaurant In Minnesota

Family-run restaurants are the best places to eat, in my opinion. It's many people's American dream to open a restaurant, and pass it down through the generations. A new list has been compiled of the best family-run restaurants in every state.

LoveFood put a list together of the best restaurants for every state, regardless of style of food. There are Italian restaurants, Chinese restaurants, Mexican restaurants, and more on the list. The only criteria is that the restaurants need to be family-run. Minnesota's best family-run restaurant happens to be an American Restaurant in Minneapolis.

Hazel's Northeast in Minneapolis was named the best by LoveFood. It started with Helen "Hazel" Sieve making pizza for a local diner over 50 years ago in central Minnesota before opening her own restaurant. There's a nice story and tribute to Hazel on their website you should really read.

Then, in 2010, her grandsons Andrew and Adam Sieve opened Hazel's Northeast, with dishes and cooking styles inspired by their Grandma.

They specialize in comforting dishes with a twist. LoveFood highlights their chicken pot pie drizzled with truffle oil, lamb shank and waffle fries, and meatloaf with garlic mash.

What caught my eye on the menu was the Meatloaf Commercial. YUM!

Hazel's Northeast is located at 2859 Johnson Street NE, Minneapolis. They're a great spot for any meal, specializing in giant pancakes, cheese cheeseburgers, and huge bowls of pasta. Check out their Facebook page for more painfully delicious looking dishes.
