Answer # 1 #

This sprawling bar at the south end of the airport mall celebrates the local craft beer scene with a rotating tap list filled exclusively with members of MN Brewer’s Guild. A list of flavorful eats includes fresh fish, juicy burgers, and wild rice.

Located in the old French Meadow space on the north end of the airport mall, People’s Organic offers next-generation fare from organic restaurant pioneer Lynn Gordon. The sprawling space includes a baked goods counter, cozy cocktail lounge, and cafe offering sprouted wraps, sandwiches, and “Earthbound” salads.

A true food truck success story, Smack Shack got its start in the Twin Cities in 2010. In the intervening decade, it has joined the ranks of the metro’s most popular restaurants and become the definitive local spot for lobster rolls. Fill up with a fried shrimp basket, clam chowder, or a lobster quesadilla.

Enjoy a local brew under the indoor pergola and bask in eternal summer. An eclectic pub menu offers wings, totchos, and the full-blown “Juicy Blucy” burger experience it’s known for.

A breakfast savior at the airport, open at 5 a.m. daily for grab-and-go sweets like pastries, cupcakes, and scones. You know what makes every flight better? Doughnuts. Plan accordingly.

Tucked down food truck alley in the E concourse, a Minnesota-favorite ice cream brand. Round out a meal with a scoop of pavarotti on a dipped waffle cone, or a seasonal sorbet.

An airport outpost built to mirror the classic diner car in Minneapolis’ Longfellow neighborhood. A reliable stop for decadent breakfast classics like “Hi-Tops” — fried dough piled with savory or sweet toppings — as well as other diner classics like burgers and shakes.

Solid ramen, quick service, and streamlined ordering via tablets. Always popular, but not always easy to grab a seat. Look for a spot and plug in quickly.

A venture by acclaimed chef Russell Klein, whose restaurant Meritage is a local bastion of fine French cuisine, Mimosa is a raw bar and brasserie influenced by simple Provencal cooking. Pair French onion soup with pan-seared lamb chops or butternut squash risotto, and save room for a creme brulee.

Celebrated local chef Doug Flicker takes three seasonal ingredients and transforms them into a modern Italian menu of antipasti and insalata, pasta, and paninis. Order a few small plates of broccolini, truffle fries, and Sicilian tuna, or classic lasagne.

Local chef Ann Kim has won James Beard awards for her thin-crust pizzas — Vero is her airport outpost. Get a classic cheese or margherita, or try combos like the Hot Hawaiian, made with garlic cream, bacon bits, roasted pineapple, and jalapenos. In the morning, stop by for the extensive breakfast menu.

Mill City is a reliable stop for hearty Minnesota classics like smoked white fish dip, smoked pork chops, and sweet potato fries. It has a great kids menu, too, and a full bar with craft beers and wines.

Options at MSP’s smaller Terminal 2 are a bit sparse, but Surdyk’s is a great option for a light meal before a flight. Pair a glass of merlot with a cheese plate, panini, or salad, and save room for dessert. Surdyk’s also has a case of gourmet cheeses if you’re looking to bring a treat home with you.

Metro Transit Map of LRT Stations

The Terminal 1 METRO Blue Line station is located below the Red, Blue and Silver parking ramps. From the Tram Level (one level below bag claim), take the tram to the Red, Blue and Silver parking ramps. When you exit the tram, follow the signs to the METRO Blue Line station.

The Terminal 2 METRO Blue Line station is located on the north side of the Orange Ramp. From Level 1, near Ticketing, take the elevator or escalator up to the Orange Ramp skyway. Follow the signs to the light rail station. Take the escalators or elevators down one level to the station platform.

The stations are fully accessible.

The METRO Blue Line operates every 12 to 15 minutes from approximately 3:30 a.m. to midnight (southbound), seven days a week. Travel on the METRO Blue Line between airport terminals is available 24 hours a day. The full schedule is here.

From the airport, trains can take you to Mall of America in about 12 minutes and to the Warehouse District in downtown Minneapolis in about 25 minutes. If you have a layover and plan to take the train away from the airport, please allow time to travel and return.*

*Be sure to check the latest METRO Blue Line schedule at Metrotransit.org if you plan to utilize this service.

Use the METRO Blue Line to travel between airport terminals. There is no charge for service between MSP’s terminals, and service between terminals operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
