My wife and I went to wishFULL after seeing an article about new food in SSP. We decided to check it out for some breakfast the other day. Was very impressed with the decor when I walked in, and immediately noticed the sign that said homemade butter, maple syrup and pancakes from scratch. Once we sat down we were greeted by one of the servers and he welcomed us with a fun "Live Long and Prosper" (he was wearing a Spock shirt that my wife complimented him on). He got us some coffee and water while we checked out the menu. The breakfast menu has endless possibilities. It had 4 columns in which you pick one from each for $8 (or some items had addl up charge i.e. toast included, pancakes add $1) After going through the options I ordered : 2 biscuits and gravy, hashbrowns, 2 eggs and 3 strips of bacon. $10 My wife ordered: 2 pancakes, cheddar quinoa spinach hashbrowns, 2 eggs, chicken fried steak $13 Everything we got was delicious. The biscuits and gravy were pretty heavy, very good but I probably only needed one. The hashbrowns were perfectly cooked, not greasy at all, nice and crispy on top and bottom and soft on the inside. The eggs, I mean scrambled eggs are scrambled eggs, but these again were perfect and fluffy. And again the bacon was delicious and crunchy. As for my wife food, her pancakes were my favorite thing we ordered in the whole meal. The sign at the door wasnt kidding about the homemade maple syrup, best Ive ever had. The cheddar quinoa was probably the least eaten food on our plates, not because it wasnt good (because it was) but more so due to all the other food being amazing. And finally the chicken fried steak was equally delicious (my wife is a huge fan). All the employees were super nice and very attentive if we needed things. Cant wait to go back!!

I hate giving a bad review to a local business, but my experiences have been less then favoralable. Extremely bad service and sub par food. Was greeted by a rude woman when we entered. Then we sat down, waited over 10 min for some one to at least acknowledge us or ask if we wanted a drink or give us a menu. ( we were never approached before leaving) During this time we watched an employee give dirty looks to a guest that was in their way and the other chatting and filling condiments. Finally we gave up and started to leave , I said goodbye to the same woman we saw when we arrived. She gave me a wth look. So I told her "cant eat w/o a menu or a someone to take our order." Her responce was another priceless facial expression . All this after I was giving them a second chance. The food is has a amanagitive description but lacks the taste and flavor to meet the any expectation you may have. Gave one star due to location. Updated: Friend asked me to give it another go today. Right after I told her I posted the above review. Service was much better and the breakfast was good. Not the greasy food you get other places. Good job on the eggs and pancakes. Still have high hopes. Uped to 3 stars.

It was awesome great Gyro. The broccoli cole slaw was really good as was the BlackBerry lavender white Chocolate mocha. My husband brought me here after he had been here for lunch with church. He said how great his burger was. They had a group of about 30 people. I also had their roasted brussels sprouts with honey and pine nuts they were so good. Will definitely be coming back. They have a Sunday night date night with a small plate, two entrees, 2 beverages, 1 dessert poetry, love songs and flowers provided for $40. They also have other event nights.

28 minutes to get our breakfast is awful!!! Especially since it was luke warm!!! Really I understand cook to order and fresh but 28 minutes is uncalled for!! You cant tell me the pork in the breakfast tacos was fresh because pork needs to be pre-prepped and cooked!! Anyways we live in the area and will NEVER go back !!! The waiter was so-so... seemed kind of not really there... OOO well At least there are other breakfast places near by!!!

My family has been here several times.Had my wisdom teeth removed and the chef and staff really helped me. They have been very accommodating to people with allergies and go out of there way to really help. Great staff, gave my little daughter a kids activity basket to play with. The only thing is they do not have a baby changing station in bathroom, but noticed one is under remodel so hopefully fixing it.

I would absolutely love to give a 5 star! They are darn near, but Im not one to 5 star dine! Are you? Besides, whos perfect? They have come along way and it means everything to them that the customer is happy!! Customer comes first! Plus, they are fabulous to their employees! I hope to be part of this family for ever!!

I really enjoy having a restaurant locally that has gluten free and dairy free options. They have a good selection of items and breakfast all day- which I love! They have coffee, smoothies, and even wine/beer now to compliment your food. Thanks for having great food I can enjoy with my food sensitivities!

My wife and i had been twice prior. On this occasion I brought my wife, 2 daughters (18 & 32) and one of their friends to Wishful, we had a great experience. The food is always fresh and flavorful, the atmosphere is inviting and unassuming, the wait staff beyond the ordinary.

Service is usually not great. Breakfast is good, but not the other menu items. Owners dont seem to know how to productively reply to criticism or maintain repeat clientele. Lost a customer today and the potential for many more via word of mouth.

Great food - wonderful service. FRESH ingredients and very welcoming atmosphere. We have been there several with kids and without. We have tried many items on the menu a lot of variety to choose from. Highly recommend you try Wishfull!

Freezer broken, espresso machine broken, told us 30 minutes after ordering that they didnt have what we ordered. Understaffed and the latte is seemingly just milk.

Great food, but miserably slow kitchen or service. Looks like they are working to remodel, which is definitely needed.

wishFULL is developing into a great neighborhood hang-out. South St. Paul needs it! The affogato is marvelous.
