Hippo Pockets — Restaurant in Minneapolis

I was in the area to go to Turtle Bread and noticed it while parking and looked it up. I ordered ahead while in Turtle Bread and had a bit of a wait once I was done there, though thats fair considering they said 20 minutes and I was there in about 5. The interior is really nice with a fun retro vibe and contactless ordering screens, as well as a wall of old cell phones and really good music. The staff was really nice and my food was ready sooner than expected. I got the Hip Griddle, and it did not disappoint. I drove home with it and it was still piping hot with melty cheese when I got home. It was nice and crispy, and the smell was Beagle-Approved (though he did not get a bite due to the likely garlic or onions in the sausage). I was pleasantly surprised to find a cute hippo sugar cookie, which was nice and tender and not too sweet. As for the pocket, it took me a few bites to get to the egg, and I didn't pick up any heat from the maple hot sauce, but it was really good. I usually dont like fried eggs, but I really liked this and it made a good brunch. In all, it ran me $10.90 ($8 pocket, $2 chocolate milk, and tax), and I would say it was...

My only complaint is that there not one closer to me! Great variety of quality options. My family ordered 3 very differnt types of pockets and all were great. The waffle fries are, indeed quite tasty and seem to some with a special seasoned sour cream that really mKes them shine. The blueberry lemondae was write-hime worthy and the customer er service was too shelf. As many have stated, the atmosphere is fun as heck, think hippo synth wave disco? We dropped in for a late night bite after closing down the MoA, and are so glad we did. It's not roomy, but if your crowd is bigger, you can order ahead to-go as well. I recommend looking at the nenu ahead online, because its so diverse and alluring that it may take a hot minute to decide. Anwyay, 10/10...

I didn’t know this place existed until a random restaurant search today for lunch. I had the cheesesteak and my wife had the chicken bacon. The chicken bacon bite I had was quite good. The cheesesteak was also good, though I wasn’t expecting the marinara sauce (it mentions it on the app but not in the menu board above the kiosk) and I found the pocket tasted more like some kind of Italian sandwich than a cheesesteak.

The space (formerly Herbie Butcher) is small though there is enough seating to accommodate a dozen people or so.

Overall good food and I will definitely be back to try other items on the menu (I just need to make sure to look at the ordering platform instead of trusting the menu board for...
