What People Are Saying About Whitey's World Famous Saloon
The Editor

Citysearch
In Short – Whitey's is welcoming and cozy, with high tables and a long bar. The spacious patio gets packed on warm days and evenings. Families flock in on weekends for brunch, and couples love to dine alfresco on Sunday nights. As the night goes on, an energetic crowd comes to this corner saloon. There's no happy hour, however there's above-average bar food, including baked artichoke and crab dip, hummus and great burgers.

Whitey's ROCKS!!!
by Fasturd
I LOVE Whitey's. Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Brunch whatever whenever I love this place. Genuine smiles on the staff faces. Great food. Rough interior but who cares when the food feels this good in your belly. Great booze selection and the largest scantilly clad woman in town.
Whitey's ROCKS!
Go and eat my friend.
- Pros: AWESOME FOOD, NOT pretentious.(if you don't know what that word means cross the street...)
- Cons: Stark, scary super big woman watches over your meal... = )

Not for Breakfast!
by rastrent
Good things first. Our server was lovely and attentive. The place was not busy at the time [11 a.m.] We asked the server for her favorite Breakfast items and we ordered up! We had the "Whitey's eggs" and the "Huevos Rancheros". AWFUL, with one exception. The English muffin was perfectly toasted as we requested. Let's start with the Whitey's eggs....it came on a giant platter with everything swirled together with melted cheese. The vegetables were not sauteed prior and the sausage had an off flavor. The temp was tepid. Now for the Huevos....very original! I have never had this dish prepared in this manner. It was very disgusting. Canned chilis, undercooked hashbrowns, cool eggs, and onions overpowered this dish. It was served in a tortilla and it was half browned. odd. I had to stop eating this. I wish I could go back and just order eggs and a perfect english muffin! If you are in this neighborhood, please go to the Red Stag. It is delightful! We normally go there, but had heard Whitey's was so wonderful! It is NOT. So, please try Red Stag OR stay at home. The mimosas were 6 bucks and refreshing.
- Pros: Nice Staff
- Cons: Terrible food

Not Dog Friendly! Rude staff
by meganrw1
My husband and I usually really enjoy Whitey's, but we went there last night to sit on the patio with our dog and the waitress very rudely asked us to leave because it was against city ordinance. This is not only untrue (according to the Star Tribune, an ordinance was passed on June 20 that allows dogs on restaurant patios) but we regularly see dogs dining on the patio all the time as we live around the corner. It was pretty embarrassing to get kicked out of a place because it isn't "dog-friendly". We probably won't be going there again.
The Details on Whitey's World Famous Saloon
Where to Sit:
The few tables out front fill up fast, especially on weekends, so get there early if you'd rather not have brunch and bloody marys inside the bar.
The Extras:
The almost-always deserted, no-frills billiards room downstairs is one of the neighborhood's best-kept secrets.
