Had the pear sandwich for dinner, the queso for the chips was homeade and next level good. My date had the bison tacos, they were delicious. We had the lemon ricotta hot cakes and bison Benedict for breakfast the next morning. The service was excellent, I am going to recommend it to everyone going to Minneapolis and I will definitely go again.

Our visit on Sunday, 10/20/24, was our first. We were really impressed with the menu selections and our appetizer - cauliflower - and the burger we shared - Lucy - were both very good. The best part of the night was the bartender/server we were assigned: Skylar. Skylar was prompt, provided fantastic drinks, and was at least as entertaining as the band we saw that night, Llorna Shore. If we purchase tickets to another show at The Fillmore, we will definitely return to Trax.

The omelet bar was very good, has a nice selection of items you can have add to your omelet. Could have had a few more options for sides. Nice that brunch included premium coffee & juice. Friendly staff, which is always nice.
