Al's Breakfast is a classic diner that has been serving loyal customers and visitors who have been coming to “the narrowest restaurant in the city” for breakfast and lunch for nearly 70 years. Established in 1950 by Al Bergstrom, the narrow nook exudes an old-school vibe, and with a width of just ten feet, the restaurant can only seat 14 diners at a time. This doesn’t stop the crowds though, who stand in line along the building's back wall as they wait for others to finish their meals. The breakfast-only joint serves traditional breakfast dishes of bacon waffles, eggs made several ways, buttermilk pancakes, hash browns, and various omelets as well as seasonal items and weekend specials. Al's Breakfast is located in the Dinkytown neighborhood near the University of Minnesota and serves breakfast only seven days a week.
