Absolutely delicious. My nachos were amazing. My husband said his portobello burger was the best he's had. We absolutely loved eating here. Our waitress was so kind and attentive. Service was fast. I'd give more than 5 starts if it was an option.

I thought it was excellent. We sat out on the sidewalk. The service was great. The menu was interesting and original. I had a walleye sandwich that was delicious, with crispy onions and thousand island dressing. It's right across the street from St. Mary's Hospital, so if you are there caring for a loved one, it's a convenient place to cross the street at eat. Highly recommended.

We especially enjoyed the fried cheese curds. The portions were good. My son really enjoyed the walleye sandwich.

Came here for lunch-was pleasantly surprised! The chicken jack club was great. Chicken was crispy, and they did the bacon right! Usually the bacon is skimpy on stuff like this. Server was very friendly. They were also super quick. I would not hesitate to come back.

5/16/22 - Back in town once again for another Mayo Clinic visit. Another great breakfast visit! This time I took a piece of delicious-looking coconut cake to go with me, and oh my gosh! One of the best pieces of cake I've ever had! So great!

Staying at a hotel for several days. Breakfast was excellent. I had the Oatmeal with raisins and brown sugar, husband had eggs, ham and rye toast. The breakfast was very good. Last night my husband had the Ribs, potatoes/gravy and veg. I had the 6 oz Filet mignon, baked potato and salad. Everything was delicious. We shared the Bunny Coconut Cake. YUM!

Our go-to spot when visiting Mayo. Convenient walking distance from hotels near St. Mary's campus. Great food, reasonably priced. Cozy little bar (but don't expect good cocktails). Maybe it was just our particular bartender. I ordered a lemon drop martini which she made with lemon vodka and sweet vermouth(?).terrible! When asked for a slice of lemon, she said she didn't have a knife to cut the lemon wedges that were already cut and sitting out on the bar.?

My friend ordered and Irish Coffee which we assumed would include Irish whiskey.wrong! She said their was made with coffee, Baileys & Kailua. Didn't even offer to make add the whiskey or make either cocktail it better. We just shrugged and decided to go elsewhere for a good cocktail. Other than a bad bar experience, we enjoyed the food and service was great!

We've eaten here. Unwrites times when visiting the Mayo Clinic. Food is always very good as is the service. Like the hot commercials and the prime rib sandwich! Everything is done well!

I ordered the Honker Melt with fries to go. The sandwich was legit. Very good, and I quite enjoyed it. If this rating were based on the sandwich alone, I would have given this place 4 stars. So why only 2 stars? The french fries. They were another story. Shamefully over-cooked. Like. what I imagine eating the bones of an excavated mummy would be like. I'm assuming the kid who put them in the deep fryer went to the bathroom, called his girlfriend, took a 15 minute break THEN finally pulled them out of the deep fryer.

I wondered why my to-go order was taking so long. It's because they were busy back in the kitchen over-cooking my french fries. Honestly, it's a shame because the sandwich was so good, but the fries were half my meal, thus, half the rating. If I were the business owner, I would be embarrassed that those even left the kitchen, let alone being served to someone who spent their hard earned cash on my food. Disappointing.

Ordered take out last nights and the food came hot but my Filet Mignon was supposed to be come medium but instead was well done. I also asked for a sauce that was forgotten. Very disappointed!

Absolutely delicious. We had the mushroom fries to start and they were incredible. Fish and chips was excellent. Hot turkey and hot beef were homemade and plenty even with the smaller senior portions. Everything was top notch. Service was excellent. Highly recommend.

If you like large portions and decent food this is where you want to eat. My husband tried the walleye in a wrap and loved it. My hamburger was just ok. The Bunnies coconut cake is sweet and delicious!

We were in town for a hockey tournament looking for a breakfast place not to far from our hotel and we found this place. Service was great and friendly. We got sat right away and coffee was served immediately which was so good because it was so cold outside. My kids had fresh squeezed oj. My daughter had the biscuits and gravy huge portion and she loved it.

My other kids had from the kids menu and the portion was just right. My husband had an omelette which had lots of ham. It was just right. I had the breakfast burrito which was awesome so filling. I would definitely recommend this restaurant if your in the area.

I ordered a Grilled Salmon salad for dinner. The salmon was good, but the spring greens were wilted and partially rotted. I've had good results here for breakfast though.

Came here twice for breakfast while we were in Rochester, got the same thing both times, Eggs Benedict. The ham is so good because it's a little sweet and the hollandaise sauce is amazing. Also tried some of my wife's biscuits and gravy and it was very good. Finally, make sure you get the sweet roll for dessert, it's the best!

A family style restaurant where I stop whenever I'm in Rochester and have time for a sit-down meal, right across from St Mary's in the center of town.

We did "Fish & Chips" & "Baked Salmon." As some may believe the prices are a bit much, the portions certainly make up for it. Had I not been keeping an eye on my weight, we would of certainly ordered some of there in house desserts. Which looked amazing might I add. This place is certainly well established as most of the folks being seated were log time patrons that seemingly have excellent relationships amongst the Canadian Honker Staff, which brought a great deal of warmth to the restaurants atmosphere.

Canadian Honker is certainly a must stop & enjoy place in Rochester, MN to any one or group of new comers to the city or even if it's for a quick visit. I assure you that you will not be let down. Enjoy & Thank You Canadian Honker for the awesome experience!

This is a nice place to eat. We went in for lunch and chose to sit outside under the sun on what was an uncharacteristically warm and fine day for Rochester. It's a comfortable place to be. The tables are large, the seats are excellent and the service is refreshingly friendly and efficient. My wife wanted an open face turkey sandwich. That sounded pretty good, so we ordered two along with some very ordinary coffee.

The turkey was exceptional. It was a large roasted breast, served with mashed potatoes, bread, gravy and cranberries. The whole thing was excellent. It is not an expensive place to eat and, again, the service was really good. In fact, that seems to be a universal trait within this lovely city. We'll be back.

We eat here every time we are in the area. Solid comfort food. The smoked gouda burger, rueben, open faced hot beef sandwich, open faced hot turkey sandwich and onion rings were our order for today. We ended with Bunnies coconut cake and chocolate raspberry cake. Our server was delightful and took great care of us.

There is one thing that will soften the stress of having a loved one suffering through serious surgery at St Mary's Hospital/Mayo in Rochester. The Canadian Honker across the street! Lordy Lordy, from breakfast to dinner. the fresh walleye sandwich, best Eggs Benedict and hashbrowns, and vegetable beef soup! I vote "yes" to exactly what I needed during our breaks from stress.

The restaurant was walking distance from our hotel and my boyfriend was craving the chicken fried steak. We walked up and we're seated not too long after checking in. I settled on the salmon salad, which was tasty and it's own right but also average. I did really enjoy the portobello mushroom fries. I certainly would get that again. Overall I would give it a 3.5 for solid but average food.

One of the mainstay of Rochester, this family friendly restaurant offers a simple menu for breakfast. We came early on Father's Day and was seated in a reasonable amount of time. Open floor plan with tables and chairs, bar, additional seating on the other side and outdoor seating lining two sides of the building. The Honker Omelette was nicely divided, as we shared and always a plus when they do it, with buttered wheat toast and American fries.

The omelette was hot, with a fluffy texture, and filled with honey ham cubes, mushrooms, mozzarella and cheddar, making it very cheesy and delicious. American fries were fried with sweet, tender strips of onion and lightly seasoned. Aleasha was our server and made our experience enjoyable.

Customer service was fantastic! I entered and was seated very promptly. Masks are required when walking around and the staff wears them also. The country fried steak skillet was phenomenal. Steak, gravy, eggs, and hash browns are a winning combination! It had just the right amount a gravy and everything was perfectly seasoned! The toast that comes with it was served with homemade strawberry preserves with actual chunks of strawberry in it!

You definitely get more than your money's worth with the portion sizes here and everything tastes great! The coconut Cake was definitely as good if not Yvette than everyone says it is! Moist, light, not too much icing, and a great amount of coconut piled on top! Highly recommend and definitely will be back for me!
