The staff was very nice and helpful to a newbie like me, because they do have a certain system for ordering. The food was delicious and healthy! We sat on the heated patio area. It was so warm we had to remove our jackets on a 40°F day.

Loved the atmosphere. The patio was enclosed and heated, which was great. The rueben was a little dry. I'm not sure the execution was worth the cost. Would try again, and I loved the menu choices. Could have been an off day.

The food was good when I came here, second time disappointed. I found out that they CHANGE their menu between weekends to weekdays.I came on a weekend, ate, and it was busy.I wanted to come another day that wasn’t busy during the week to enjoy the same meal and that’s NOT possible. They will not build a meal to match anything from the other menu either.

Worst experience ever. Will never be back. The staff was the rudest I have ever experienced in my life and I have had tons of poor experiences in my lifetime. Worst decision ever…tried something new. If you do choose to try this spot don’t show up without your entire party and if you are early don’t expect a cup of coffee while you wait…expect to be treated like trash and left out in the cold. The quote of the day from the host when the last member of our party drove into the lot, ‘Well, I don’t see her’. If you want to be treated poorly…like you are an inconvenience, this is your spot. This review is written on behalf a a group of nice older ladies that frequent breakfast spots in the area each weekend.

We planned on a different brunch place but the wait was too busy so we called wise acre and the wait was only 20 minutes on a Sunday morning.We didnt know what to expect with this farm to table restaurant but we were excitingly impressed! There’s just one seating area with long tables, so you’ll sit by a stranger but there’s enough space. They have a system in place to make things more efficient when ordering.The menu was great, with many options that aren’t overwhelming. Our group got a few biscuit sandwiches, the bowl, and French toast. The sandwich was exotic- definitely upgrade to bacon than sausage because it was thick bacon. The flavors of the sandwich were amazing together, and when we tried each ingredient separately it tasted different! It blew our minds how the flavors melted together. The biscuits were going to take extra time to cook, so they offered me a different vehicle of bread- I chose the croissant.Looking around the restaurant, the favorite dish was the bowl with toast and greens. It’s honestly not as expensive as I expected given the quality of food.There’s also a little pantry in the corner with home grown items. They have a freezer section with fresh meat ranging from steaks to meat stick. YUM!The place also has an outdoor heated patio on the side in addition to the tables in the front outside. Great place!!!Parking: They have a small parking lot so expect to search for free spots on the street when busy.Kid-friendliness: Plenty of kids on the restaurant and kid friendly options.Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs

This was the best beef stew I’ve ever had. I also previously had the burger at their weekend brunch which was also amazing.

Food is great, taste is welcomed with new flavor. Menu is very limited. I would definitely recommend trying Wise Acres for a new experience.

I had the smoky pepper chicken sandwich with greens. One of the best chicken sandwich's I've had in recent memory. Service was quick and friendly. We sat on the patio and enjoyed the sunshine.One of the only farm to table restaurants in south Minneapolis that I'm aware of. To me the prices seem fair for a locally sourced meal that was prepared exceedingly well. It was a treat.

We went here for Sunday brunch and the food was great, delicious and majority sourced from local farms. They were really accommodating for our group of 6 + my baby in the stroller. We ordered brunch bowl and biscuits sandwich + home fries and I’d definitely recommend those. The service was great and fast and wait time was around 10 minutes, which is great for a Sunday. They also have farm-sourced meat, cheese, egg and other stuff you can buy with reasonable prices!
