Takeout Options in Downtown Minneapolis
Wondering how to you can support local businesses? Or maybe you're just really missing your weekly sushi fix. Either way, takeout is a great option! And there are plenty of places offering takeout in downtown Minneapolis. Here's where to go to get takeout downtown.
Grabbing takeout downtown has never been easier. Most places are offering online ordering and curbside pickup, with instructions for ordering, parking, and pickup on their website. Many are also offering delivery, so be sure to check each individual business to see what they are offering.
Restaurants
The Freehouse
They do it all, and they do it well. It's not often that you come by a restaurant with such an extensive menu that seems to hit the nail on the head with every dish. But Freehouse has managed to pull it off. From noodles and bowls, to tacos, salmon, meatloaf, sandwiches, burgers, and even house-brewed beer, they have plenty to choose from.
Parlour
Parlour's whole menu is available for takeout, but you'd be remiss if you didn't get their iconic burger. You can even pick up a burger grill kit if you want to fry them up yourself. Pair with their old fashioned cocktail kit and you've got yourself a night.
Smack Shack
If seafood is your thing, then Smack Shack is for you. We recommend all things lobster: Lobster Mac & Cheese, Lobster Guacamole, and their famous Lobster Roll.
Black Sheep Pizza
Black Sheep will show you that sometimes, simple is best. Their coal fired pizza doesn't need to be drenched in toppings to be really, really good. The crust does all the heavy lifting, and the toppings are just added bonuses.
Rise Bagel Co.
Let Rise show you what a bagel should be. Perfectly crisp on the outside, incredibly chewy on the inside, with inspiration taken from New York and Montreal. Top it with their flavored cream cheese, vegan cashew cream cheese, or opt for a delicious breakfast sandwich.
MidNord Empanadas
MidNord pushes the boundaries of what you would typically find in an empanada. Sure, they still offer the classics (and you can never go wrong with the classics), but fillings like Reuben, Mac & Cheese, and Buffalo Chicken are what make them stand out. They combine the classic flavors you would find in Spanish empanadas with a little Midwestern flare. Also be sure to try out their churros!
JUN Szechuan Kitchen & Bar
Order from JUN and enjoy wok-fired Szechuan dishes, dim sum, as well as a variety of dumplings made from family recipes. They also have fried rice, noodles, and soup for the ultimate comfort food feast.

Bucket of cookies! Did we get your attention? Thr3 Jack does indeed offer a bucket of warm, gooey, chocolate chip cookies as well as a smoked chicken nacho kit, turkey pastrami, house-made tortilla chips, and beverages to go.

Red Rabbit
Sister restaurant to Red Cow, Red Rabbit is your spot for all things Italian. Traditional pastas, thin crust pizzas, loaded salads, and hearty sandwiches are what make up the majority of their menu. You'll also find take and bake meals, cocktail kits, grocery items, and bottles of wine.

As the temperatures drop, comfort food sounds more and more inviting. Zen Box offers Japanese comfort food staples like ramen, curry, rice bowls, and bento.

Generous portions of the "foods you grew up with." Expect giant pancakes, crispy hash browns, farm fresh eggs, stacked deli sandwiches, and delectable baked goods.

Lemon ricotta hotcakes, huevos rancheros, and wild rice porridge are just a few of the all-time favorites you'll find at this local breakfast and lunch spot. While we certainly miss their 35-foot bloody mary bar, they're now offering build your own bloody mary and mimosa kits so we can get our fix at home.
Murray's
When you want to treat yourself, get takeout from Murray's. Whether it's for a birthday, anniversary, or just another Saturday night in quarantine, they've got the steaks, prime rib, pork chops, and other delicious protein packed offerings to make any night feel extra special. Choose from pre-cooked options, or opt to grill yourself.
FireLake Grill House

Random craving at 3:00 a.m.? Lucky for you, Nicollet Diner is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, offering both delivery and takeout. While they do have a lunch/dinner menu, they also offer breakfast all day, and we can never say no to breakfast for dinner. Choose from loaded hash browns, chicken & waffles, biscuits & gravy, skillets, thick and fluffy buttermilk pancakes, and plenty of bacon.
