“ Stone Arch is located right after clearing security at the MSP airport. Super handy if your flight departs from the F or G concourses. It offers a wide variety of tables and seating - everything from bar stools to tables and booths. It has a peaceful vibe even when it is busy. I had breakfast here today. The Egg and Bacon sandwich with hash browns was excellent. The bacon was crisp and so flavorful. The eggs were done perfectly. The white cheddar, arugula, sauce, and English muffin worked magic together. One of the best Egg sandwiches I’ve had. Price point was great for airport cuisine. My partner got the avocado sandwich and gives it 5 out of 5 stars. She expected thicker sliced bread, but the portion turned out to be perfect. Our server was friendly and attentive even though it was quite busy. We had a great experience (though one of the guys cleaning tables when we arrived seemed to be in a snippy mood). Feeling like getting a full Minnesota experience? They offer fried Spam as a meat option on several items. I almost tried it. Almost. I will stop by again! PREVIOUS REVIEW (Still true) I got the walleye sandwich. It was excellent - way better than I expected from an airport restaurant. It was as good as walleye I’ve enjoyed up on Minnesota’s north shore. I highly recommend it. Ask for an extra side of tartar sauce as it is also very good - tastes great on the sandwich and on french fries. Their fries are perfectly cooked as well. I also found their ice tea freshly made. Easy listening pop music overhead drowns out the bustle of the airport. If you’re looking for a place to grab a bite, I highly recommend the Stone Arch (named after the famous Stone Arch Bridge that crosses the Mississippi in Minneapolis). ”
“ Food was amazing, we had the Sticky Whiskey burger and it was awesome! Fries were super crispy. Just what we needed after coming back abroad Our server was Sandy and she was so helpful recommending local beers for us to try. They have flights and that’s always such a fun experience for us in a new city! Nothing but positive things to say! ”
“ Stopped in here during a layover between flights. Tried a pistachio beer sample and had to pass, wasn’t to my taste. BTW, anyone can request a tasting of any craft beer on tap prior to ordering. Went with the coffee toffee, a rich coffee note with a background of toffee, a unique taste that was surprisingly pleasant. Had 2 appetizers, chicken and cheese fries and fried pickles. Personally, the BBQ sauce that accompanied this dish was too sweet for my liking, however it was perfect for my dining companion. Overall I thought there was too much going on IMO, to each their own. The pickles didn’t disappoint, very crispy, tangy and the siracha mayo sauce was a great combination. Service was outstanding, amazing, since the waitress had the whole bar area to cover, she did an outstanding job. Price was what I would expect in an airport, not outrageous by any means. Highly recommended, especially for beer aficionados as they have an extensive beer list. One last thing, $4 extra to make a drink on the rocks a double, a no brainer for me. ”
“ This been through this airport so many times, but I've never actually stopped here. The staff is super friendly, fun, and quick to make sure all the customers we're taken care of while still making each one of us feel like we're the center of their attention. The grilled cheese and tomato soup really hit for me as I wasn't feeling great, and the sprouts were pretty tasty too with all that bacon. Looking forward to stopping in here again when I'm not rushing to catch a connecting flight. ”
“ One of the best airports stops with an amazing beer selection. Great local beers and was absolutely surprised to find vintage imperial stouts on tap! A definite stop for the beer enthusiast enroute through MSP. Food was delicious as well! ”
