Second Home - Burnsville

Definitely going to be one of our go-to Brunch spots from now on. Came out on a Sunday and had one of the best meals (and service) we've had in a while. The food selection ranges from all around basics kicked way up, to more creative. I tried the smoked trout benedict, which was amazing. Can't wait to try other things soon!

This was my third time dining there tonight. I did not want to go back, but my husband did not want to drive anywhere with gas prices so high. I really have no words for how bad the food was. My shrimp was seriously undercooked as were the grits. The beast and blanket appetizer was over cooked. I sent back my shrimp and grits dinner and the waiter never made any attempt to see if I liked what I substituted . The tofu had no flavor and the same sauce and same broccoli that I had already paid extra for and had a half eaten dish sitting on the table of. At least offer a different side. So basically I ate a hot dog (because I picked off the overcooked cornbread) and some broccoli for my 17th anniversary dinner. My husband did not like the fish and chips. I mean it was just awful! We really have always enjoyed Stackhouse. I don’t know who is running this place. Apparently there were arguments in the kitchen according to my husband. I didn’t hear that but something is going on. I did not like my first or second experience there either but I thought maybe it was what I ordered. It isn’t!

Second time at Second Home. The food is fabulous. Probably the best dinners that I ever had. Smoked meatloaf, sweet potato pancakes, perfectly charred Brussel sprouts. Since food service is my career, I spent time peaking through to the kitchen. The chef and sous chef were totally in sinc. Really great to see such level of professionalism. Focused. Quiet. Efficient. The tall young man is definitely a rising star. Our server was exceptional, too. Make a trip here to this trendy, fun restaurant. You will not be disappointed. I really enjoyed my experience here.? It was so nice that the chef took the time to acknowledge us as we were leaving, even during the middle of a dinner rush.

Pretty good — 4/5. I had scrambled eggs, fruit salad, and avocado toast. Most of this review is about the avocado toast; I can’t speak to the other options as I did not try them.Scrambled eggs: very good!Fruit salad: I enjoyed the mint; it adds a really nice flavor. Note: this is more of a soup than salad as the fruit comes with a lot of liquid in a bowl.Avocado toast: If you like your avocado toast to taste like avocado, I would not recommend—the balsamic glaze takes away from the avocado in my opinion. I also felt that they were pretty light on the avocado so perhaps I am just used to a different, more avocado-focused avocado toast.Final thoughts: cozy atmosphere and good service. The food is not mind-blowing but it’s a solid brunch place to go with friends or family!

Omg, I can't believe we waited so long to eat here! the food was the best we've had in the area. I had the meatloaf and my wife had the shrimp and grits. the entrees and sides were all amazing! the candied bacon was out of this world. we both topped it off with fabulous deserts. yummy yummy.
