Prairie Ink

This is a really nice spot for a quick meal, whether you are out purchasing a book or not. The food here is really interesting and is worth a try. I do not remember what I had in these photos but I’m sure if you show a server they would know! I’m very happy with my meal and service. I do however wish water was provided more often. Some of us do drink water at different paces. For myself, I do enjoy drinking several glasses of water with my food but sometimes I was left with a dry throat from a lack of water. However I wouldn’t say that is much of a flaw of this place. Not everyone drinks several glasses of water in one sitting like myself. The atmosphere is very vibrant. The multiple sections of windows allows for lots of natural night to flood in. I however do not recommend actually reading or studying here which disappointed me as it can get too busy and distracting. This is both good and bad as the busy service comes from a high demand from people to dine there. They also only have ONE desk with a wall outlet so make sure you request it if you need it!

Very nice cafeteria located inside the bookstore. They have a nice selection of decent size entrees and desserts. Last time I discovered their milkshakes and would 100% recommend ordering one as they are delicious and not expensive. So far our servers have always been very polite and patient while taking our order.

My all time escape place! A great restaurant with cozy environment and very friendly service providers! The foods are delicious and it’s actually e very nice place to hangout or spend some quality me-time! I had the coffee, breakfast items and soups. All of them are mouthwatering and the serving is quite good. I do recommend everyone to visit this place.

It was a decently busy night so there was a wait for our food but we didn’t mind since we were able to just catch up on each other’s day. Our server was super friendly as they always are. I got the bacon cheddar burger with Caesar salad as a side. Unfortunately I didn’t like the burger very much since it was driiiipping with oil. I mean it has bacon so it’s expected to be greasy but wayyyy too much for my liking. The taste is average; bacon made it good but the grease made it not so good However, LOVED the salad it’s a basic Caesar salad but it was the perfect salad to dressing ratio! Next, my boyfriend ordered a steak sandwich with tomato soup as a side . His was also a it’s good but not at the same time. The steak was more rare than medium rare not sure if the picture reflects that well but it was very bloody after one poke. He didn’t send it back since he can tolerate a bit more bloodyness but not me flavour-wise he enjoyed it tho. As for the soup, he enjoyed it! He likes tomato-based soups so it’s a recommended for him but would’ve been better if it came with crackers. Prairie Ink has always been our IT spot to go for random date nights. Even tho each time has been a hit and miss, we love the atmosphere and enjoy walking around McNally Robinson’s right after dinner. Always such good finds there!!

This place gets busy for a reason. A great cafe attached to McNally Robinson book store. A perfect spot to enjoy a cappuccino and start a new book. I enjoyed the breakfast but it seems their specialty is in baked goods and cakes.Food: 5/5

The best steak and shrimp for $25 you can buy. It was under seasoned but cooked perfectly and for the price you cannot beat it. I would have given it a 5 star but the chef left the rubber band on my broccoli got a $5 discount and the service was SUPER slow. Out of 7 employees there appeared to be only one server for the full restaurant. Aug 27 @1700

One of my favourite places to get food, the atmosphere is lovely, the service is great, and don’t even get me started about the desserts. Their flourless chocolate torte is literally to die for, and everything on their menu is delicious. The hot honey linguine is the perfect meal if you like some spice.

I had the hot honey linguini, and my wife a personal pizza. Both were very good. Waitress was very kind and attentive. She noticed that we were opening an envelope with our babies expected gender and congratulated us and gave us a complementary desert to celebrate - so thoughtful!

The food and desserts are amazing here. I highly recommend getting the soup of the day or trying one of their cheesecakes. If it's busy, you get to look around the bookstore while you wait for your table. Doesn't get much better than this!Food: 5/5

Good god. Love the recent addition of the meal ball dis. Service is great and the desserts are amazing. PS add the new meat ball dish to the online selection.
