If you want delicious food, do yourself a favor and head over. Their salad dressings are made from scratch and that's my favorite thing. The ranch is SOOO delicious! I haven't tried others but my sister and friends loved multiple other kinds. The soup and sandwiches are great, too. The desserts are great and they serve Northern Soda, which is a fun treat, too! I've gone here with multiple friends and relatives and everyone, even "hard to please at restaurants" think it's great!

Eat @ Banning is the perfect, hometown spot for lunch. I always get the Zany Mullaney (it's the best!) And a cup of whatever delicious soup they have for the day. Give it a try!!Oh and don't forget to order dessert.

Met up with a friend for lunch and was I pleasantly surprisedI previously thought this place was a catering business only because it was never open when I was driving by, generally after 4p‍. I tried one of their many homemade-recipe soups along with a sandwich and coffee. WOW... their food was wonderful ! I hadn't had a delicious bowl of soup this good in a very long time and my Clubhouse sandwich was too much to finish but too good to leave behind. Their soup selection was different everyday since we've been back. We were also told about their once a year soup bonanza featuring a flight of soup from their 52 different recipes. Though I missed out on it this year, it will be on my event calendar for 2024!! You place your order as you come in, move on to the cashier where you get your beverage and find a seat. A server will quickly bring your order in a to-go container with all the accoutrements necessary How slick is that especially if you're in a hurry... If you haven't tried 'EAT! at 5th and Banning', you're missing out!

Their food is amazing and made from scratch every day. They offer a wide variety of sandwiches and soups that are delicious. Their craft soda selection is extensive and it’s so fun to try the different flavors. And I can’t leave high enough praise for their Boston Cream puffs! My son’s girlfriend is from Massachusetts and I searched all over Minnesota for over a year trying to find Boston cream that lived up to a Massachusetts native’s expectations. This place is a God send and I can’t recommend it highly enough. And the staff is wonderful! Thank you Eat at Banning and 5th! We’ll be back often!

Home made comfort food is the best. Can’t beat a chocolate chip cookie to finish off lunch.
