My mother in law has been telling me about this place for awhile and we finally got to go together. Here’s the best part: their syrup is amazing! I got 1 pancake just so I could try it and we basically ended up emptying the whole bottle. I think it’s mixed with butter, it was so delicious. I also ordered huevos rancheros and they were amazing. One thing I was impressed by is that it was served with real authentic salsa, and no I don’t mean the chunky tomato salsa you see in stores. I mean real authentic Mexican red salsa that my mom makes and it was so good!! They get 5 stars just for that. My Arnold Palmer was great too. My mother in laws dish looked fantastic too. I also have to say that our waiter was fabulous. She was so sweet and we ended up being the last customers and no one rushed us at all. The worst part? Nothing. Can’t add anything. Also, extra bonus is that they’re right next door to the nicest decor/gift shop!

Excellent breakfast with large portions. More than enough food. The service was great, too. There was a wait, which was worth it. We had two different kinds of stuffed French Toast. Had different kinds of potatoes. American potatoes and chessy hash browns. Highly recommend.

5 stars! This restaurant is the best overall I've been to in a long time! Great food, perfect service, nice spot.

Always worth the wait! If you know you’ll be going here then make sure you call ahead to be put on the list!! My favorite is the French toast combo with ham and cheesy hash browns! The portion is huge so I always share!

Was in the area and just happened to fall upon this place. It was super busy, so I was hoping it was good! We were pleasantly surprised! Had a great breakfast, and walked around the cute gift shop next door while waiting for a table.

Cheery greetings from the hostess, quick service at the table with regular check ins, lovely presentation on food that was absolutely delicious. Thank you Jensen's for keeping service up through these trying times.

Best breakfast I've had in town! The cheese hashbrowns are a dollar upgrade but definitely to die for! Very clean and friendly atmosphere and great value your the food I got. I highly recommend stopping and checking Jensen's out! You will not be disappointed!

Such a lovely place. Quaint and homey feeling. Perfect place for family or to meet a friend. The spinach and goat cheese omelet is fantastic. And my friend was kind enough to share a piece of her apple bread which was amazing. The kids loved their pancakes.

Fun little breakfast place. When we got there we did have to wait 45 minutes but it's worth the wait. The banana pancake is one of the best I've ever had. We also ordered the eggs Benedict which comes on a little pancake which is sweet and different but good. We also got an order of biscuits and gravy which was good too. Yummy food!

Service was great - I did not care for my biscuits and gravy. The biscuits were heavy and sweet. All of our food was barely warm.

Always good comfort food here!! Had the Western Baked Omelette with the Cafe Potatoes. So delicious! Had the nicest waiter! Wish I would of remembered his name. Great service!

My wife and I love this place. We have never had a bad meal or experience here. Went on fathers day, didnt get the waiters name, but he was great. Wish I could name him to give him the credit he deserves.

Great breakfast food place. Lots of choices, all good. One of the few places in the Twin Cities to get the Monte Cristo. Yum!

My favorite casual dining in the entire Twin Cities. Great staff, incredible food, very nice atmosphere. Highly recommend.

My husband and I have gotten curbside pickup a couple of times since the shutdown. Everything we have gotten has been delicious from breakfast to sandwiches. The staff is friendly. We will definitely continue to get food from here.

Giving it a 5 just for the bacon. The steak was decent, and cooked perfectly. A perfectly cooked medium rare steak is really unusual at a breakfast joint, says I. Thick Cut bacon and eggs was really good, but the potato things weren't my favorite. My date had the country fried steak. I tried it and it's one of the best I've ever had. Their tri berry jam is really good. Tip: the dinner menu has a limited breakfast selection, but they will bring you the full breakfast menu upon request. Get some.

I've never had bad service, bad drinks, or anything less than amazing food here. The patio is a huge plus too!

The restaurant was really nice. The food was good. I didn't particularly care for my food, but that was more my fault for ordering something I didn't like. The berry jam was ridiculously good though. My friend got the buffalo chicken strips for an appetizer and and those were super good. If you're in the area, stop into this place, it's worth a visit. I will definitely be back. I will just get something that suits me better.

Actually, felt like walking out at first. Extremely grumpy man was at the front seating guests. But glad we stayed because... PANCAKES! Homemade maple syrup. Amazing! We also ordered county fried steak and eggs, which very good as well. Eggs were a little under cooked, I ordered over medium. Its always s 50/50 to get eggs served over medium. Service was good, surprised at how pleasant our server was after experiencing the grump at the door. Glad his attitude wasn't contagious.

Amazing! Expect a slight wait if going for breakfast or brunch, but it's totally worth it. Highly recommend the strawberry and cream pancakes and the regular mimosa (much tastier than the ultimate - they put ice in the ultimate one which makes it taste less like a traditional mimosa...plus it's served in a heavy mug. I prefer the champagne flutes, but you do you when you order!) The breakfast cereals (oatmeal) are only served until 11, so plan accordingly if that's what you plan on getting! Love the atmosphere, speedy service, and all the options. Jensen's never disappoints. If you're in the area looking for solid brunch food, look no further than Jensen's!!!

Just a wonderful place, nice little bar and great food, service and prices You won't be disappointed.

Sweet people yummy food. Banging homade SYRUP!!!

The food was cold and the service was very slow and un attentive

Lobe Jenson's for breakfast! I was with a friend who had never been. We both enjoyed the Swedish pancakes with lingonberry sauce, eggs, hers over easy, mine poached, and bacon. The bacon was thick cut, cooked perfectly,, and wonderfully delicious!

Transcendent food. Impeccable attention to detail in both cuisine and service. Original and inventive flavors, well executed.

Great service & food as always

Fabulous food and lovely staff a favorite place of me and my friends!

Great food!!!!

Great food! Really delicious breakfast, lunch and dinner options. Pancakes are always so fresh, fluffy and HUGE. Jensen's has some of the best food servers and service in Burnsville. Only thing that can be a drag is the waiting time. It can be more than 35 min on a busy day but it is definitely worth the wait.

The food and service were top knotch❣️?

Great breakfast assortment, this sounds crazy but they serve the best toast.

The quality of every single dish that I’ve had. Is incomparable to anything that I’ve ever had! This is the Best Breakfast/Lunch restaurant that I’ve ever seen! Haven’t been here!? COME! Haven’t been in a while!? COME IN AGAIN!

Awesome.. our servers Sam was great and we tipped her accordingly!

Great clean,

Nice place great food and service

Amazing food quality

Cajun breakfast

Service, food, great covid practices. Friendly waitstaff. Prices reasonable.

Excellent food

The outdoor seating was relaxing with beautiful flowers, and the food is wonderful.

Fantastic breakfast ?

We had a group of five for dinner and everyone agreed this was fantastic experience. Really friendly service, delicious food, and clean atmosphere.

This place always has such delicious breakfast. I love to get the stuffed French toast. My boyfriend got the blue cheese hamburger and he was quite pleased with his pick. I'd recommend this place most definitely. They are usually very busy so reservations are advised!

Pleasant atmosphere; extremely polite, prompt and grateful service... I will definitely be returning. Don’t let the mid range pricing deter you! The quality of ingredients, preparation and presentation more than make it worth the money!

Best Pancakes evuuuur !! Lovely environment. Amazing service.

A favorite place in Burnsville that is a must visit when in town. Their breakfast is the best!

Love love love this place. Delicious food and local vibes. The best breakfast place in the south metro!

Splendid smoked salmon sramble & perfect potatoes.

Love their syrup and great biscuits and gravy

This is my favorite breakfast restaurant in the state.

Good food

Amazing breakfast, huge proportions! Best homemade apple juice, I ever had! Nice cozy atmosphere and friendly service.

Fantastic Ultimate Bloody, Food good too

Awesome place worth the wait. Wondered why there was a 40 min wait until I ate then I knew..

Tasty ?

Fabulous....had the Swedish pancake combo with lingonberries....always a hit.....makes you want to come again.......

I was expecting so much more for the price and how busy they are. Ordered Biscuits and gravy with eggs and such disappointment. My biscuits and gravy was cold! Had everyone at the table try them and everyone was shocked at how they weren't even warm. Then my scrambled eggs also cold, dry and crunchy like they were sitting out. The only good thing was my upgraded cheese hashbrowns. You'd think the food at minimum would be hot and fresh. Not worth it. Wouldn't recommend.

The food was great as always. We are also glad that they do their best at distance seating. I feel very comfortable eating there

I love this place. Awesome food at good prices. Well worth the visit. Staff is always friendly. I must go to if ever in the Burnsville area.

Great place to go. We sat at the bar and had some dinner. I ordered there Steak Bites dinner. It was fantastic!!

Hands down the best pancake I've ever had. Plus the omelette had hash browns inside it! And the server was very good!

Awesome neighborhood cafe in Burnsville's Heart of the City. The cajun breakfast is exceptional, and you can't go wrong with any of their sandwiches, either. I'm sure the rest of the menu is great too but that's what I've tried so far 😀

Highly recommend the French Toast combo breakfast with has browns. The homemade maple syrup is amazing! Very attentive, friendly staff too.

Great service and didnt mind my family and I spending way too much time talking. Also the breakfast butter maple syrup is awesome.

I am so disappointed in our experience today. We have eaten at this lovely cafe for years so it’s even more disappointing. We ordered two breakfasts for take out. It was more spendy than usual $42 without coffee but their food is generally so good we went with it. Got the food home it was the wrong order. Due to the high price and wrong food we cancelled the entire order. Dealt with the manager and he grabbed the bag of food , went into the till and shoved $40 in cash and walked away. I’m shocked. I know this cafe is privately owned This employee must need some help! I know probably a tough morning but ..... not the customer service when it was their mistake.

Food is amazing staff very friendly

Best restaurant in Burnsville hands down!!!

Great service Great food!!!

Be warned, the caramel cinnamon roll is immense! I thought to myself, "I don't want to overdo it, maybe I'll share it with my wife." Well, it came to the table and I knew I was doomed. 😉 We ended sharing it between 4 of us and we all felt nearly full before our main courses arrived (they were also delicious).

I wish we had a Jensen's in Wisconsin! The 4 of us were amazed, everything was a delight to your tastebuds! The Caramel Cinnamon Roll is a must try! But it is big and even split 4 ways had us feeling full too soon! Bought some of their homemade syrup to take home, it is to die for! If we ever come this way again we will dine here again!!!

Jensen's is the place to go in Burnsville if you want the best food and service.

Great food and service. I have been back several times!!

Best breakfast place in town! I'd reviewed before and said there weren't any vegetarian options for entrees, but that wasn't fair because they have all day breakfast and multiple options for vegetarians for breakfast. Also, have to hat tip to Jensen's because they do takeout really well - the food is always just as good as it would be in the restaurant.

Maple syrup is awesome

Average tasting breakfast, a little pricey for what you get BUT there is not much else in Burnsville to get unless you want large chain food.

We attended my son and daughter-in-law wedding dinner here. The service was very good as was the food. I know a little about service as I have worked many jobs in that industry. The reason I am writing this post is to thank Jensen's Cafe for the great time we all had there.

"Love the food, but this location always seems to have slow service."

Great coffee and food

Love the Swedish Pancakes with strawberries and whipped cream ..

They were incredibly rude when we asked to be seated after waiting for 30 + minutes! Everyone who was waiting with us and after us got seated before us! That’s beyond RUDE!!! The manger was just standing and said NOTHING!! How are you a manger and not speaking up! I wasted my time and got not food!! I’m disappointed at Jen’s and the disrespect I got! I’ve been coming to this place for years!

It makes me really uncomfortable that the waiting area isn’t Covid safe. As cases continue to climb, they should be asking people to wait in their cars, then calling them and not have people packed in the front door. I couldn’t even come to the reception area without bumping into someone.

I’ve been waiting for 35 minutes. They wasted our time and we’re incredibly rude when we asked to be seated. Don’t take my number if you’re not gonna call me. It’s Covid so I waited in my car instead of their packed waiting area. The receptionist was combative and gave tables to people who came later, rather than simply calling me. It’s felt prejudicial.

Food is great and staff hustles

This used to be one of our favorite small business restaurants pre covid. They serve a breakfast all day that is great. Love the home made syrup. Post covid it's just been a little off and not quite the same. But still good.

Awesome food and great service!

Always great food, and good service!!

THE SERVICES ARE BAD BUT THE FOODS ARE OKAY.

Food is always good! 😁😁😁

Food was delicious but there were a bunch of tiny mistakes made that kinda ruined the dining experience

Great Food Exceptional service.

Food was great. Bit of a long wait, especially after call ahead.

Great food, great atmosphere, great service.

DONT LIKE THE FOODS BUT THE PLACE WAS NICE .

Loved this place. Amazing food, wonderful staff

The food is made in house and most of it is Americanized Mexican food. Everything is delicious, including the desserts, and give you large portions of food for the great prices.

Delicious breakfast. Homemade syrup. What else could you ask for?

Loved the eggs Benedict with cheesy hash browns! I didn't know it was with pancake bottom instead of an English muffin but I liked it a lot the sweetness contrasted the hollandaise sauce and maple Canadian bacon. Everything was perfect and it was our first visit. Our waitress Grace was great too! Definitely will be back.

Decent food, ambience and good service. Paid around $50 for 2 breakfast with beverages. Too crowded and long wait on weekends morning which is expected🤣

It’s all about the caramel syrup. Literally the best syrup I’ve ever had. You have to try it at least once. Will come back to buy a few jars the next time I’m there. The food is good. But again… the caramel syrup is the whole reason I come here. 🤤🤤. Otherwise the food is standard diner stuff and I would say mostly over priced.

This place is top notch, Carmel roll is to die for, figuratively. Get there early if you want one, they sell out fast!! Week days are the best time to go, weekends can be a bit of a wait. But don't worry, it's totally worth the wait.

Spectacular Breakfast and Excellent service. I was Craving a Waffle and this was so Amazing, as was the Bacon and Eggs and Cheesey Hash Browns 😋 Love Jensen's Cafe.

Awesome pancakes & syrup combo. The bartender recommending putting the syrup in my coffee..... Life-changing! The waiting list is always worth it. Pretty decent bar area.

Decent American cafe faire. The Ultimate Bloody is not messing around… as garnishments it came with a whole egg and full sized beef jerky stick. There was some confusion over omelet vs Oma-lotta naming on the outside menu vs the sun provided but everything was tasty.

This place is always packed for a reason! If you are bringing a large party, call ahead. Otherwise they will seat you in the bar area. It's still lovely, and for most guests it will be nice because it's a bit more private. However if you have individuals with mobility issues, take that into account. The food is great tasting and very comforting. Service wise, we've never had a bad experience, it's only been excellent! Definitely the ideal go to for a wonderful brunch experience!

Long wait time. We were greatest by a wonderful server and he suggested the lemon ricotta pancakes. They sounded good, but I think they sat a while. Rubbery. The sever was very very accommodating and took it off the bill. I would give it another chance to see if I was an off day.

Always my favorite brunch spot! Best hashbrowns in the state! We stopped in for a quick bite and some mimosas this time!

Last time I was here. That Cajun breakfast was great; it’s the first time I got this meal and it was not great at all. It wasn’t even busy and yes the kitchen can be busy but pretty bad food, I only ate it because I was hungry and I was waiting for it as my kid and wife ate. My server was great and the screw driver was great also but the meal was just bad.

We found a new brunch spot!!! It’s been a minute to find a joint that will serve amazing clean breakfast food for us and our gluten intolerant friends. Amazing choices. Excellent service. I’ll be back!

Went here for my sister's birthday breakfast with my other sister. Great food, great service love their food so much!

This is one of my favorite breakfast spots! The wait is long but it’s worth the wait if you have time. The eggs Benedict over pancake and cheesy hash brown is soooo good!! When you get to the table, everything is set and ready to go and everything comes quick. It’s a good quick breakfast spot.

This place was great. Their pancakes are awesome. They actually cook the fruit into the pancake and it's thick and fluffy. Going to take a second and say that the "maple" syrup is to die for. It's Maple syrup, butter, brown sugar, and cream I believe. It's so good, my wife and I actually ate our leftovers. Drinks are dirt cheap. Be mindful that the grapefruit juice is a juice cocktail and does have sugar. If you're thinking of doing the sausage gravy and biscuits, try something else. They are ok, but light on the sausage and there are other other more excellent things on the menu. Also, opt for the cheesy hash browns. You'll be glad you did.

Just what I'm looking for when I want a brunch location! Great selection, wonderful service, amazing food (get the cheesy hashed browns!), all for a fair price. My only (very small) gripe is that the kitchen was a tad slow. The product made up for it however. Next time (and there WILL be a next time!) I'll simply allocate a little more time.

Crazy busy place but we’ll worth the wait. We got a pecan roll bigger than my head. And the food was delicious had left overs for days

LOVE their triple berry stuffed French toast combo platter. The coffee is solid and their homemade maple caramel syrup is awesome! BTW- the caramel roll is the size of a loaf of bread! So yummy- we took it home of course!
