Hot Plate, American restaurant in Minneapolis, United States
Hot Plate is a breakfast restaurant in Minneapolis housed in a converted salon space that serves classic American morning dishes and daily specials. The menu features house-made caramel pecan rolls and a variety of pancake combinations available throughout the day.
The restaurant opened in 2005 as a full-service establishment founded by Carrie Lewis and Sam Beberg. A shift to breakfast-only service occurred in 2017 when Carmen Santana took ownership and reshaped the concept.
Paint-by-numbers artworks hang on the walls alongside original mirrors from the former salon, creating a distinctive dining space with 1970s character. This setting shapes the morning experience and makes each visit feel like stepping into the past.
The place opens for breakfast between 8:00 AM and closes at 1:00 PM Monday through Thursday, with extended hours on weekends until 2:00 PM. The kitchen stops taking orders about 15 minutes before closing, so arrive with time to spare.
The place is known for creative pancake combinations mixing ingredients like Nutella and peanut butter, alongside regional specialties such as Grand Marais scrambles. This blend of sweet and savory variations makes the menu stand out.
