Thirty Bales is a celebration of everything Midwestern cuisine has to offer. We're an upbeat neighborhood restaurant bringing together bright personalities, bold recipes, clean ingredients and craft spirits and playing with the flavors that make the Midwest a place unlike any other.If you're curious about our name, it comes from the legend of Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox. As the story goes, Babe had an appetite as big as Bunyan himself and is rumored to have eaten 30 bales of hay a day.Like our restaurant's big blue spirit animal, we're a pack of people that lives to eat and drink. We're endlessly in love with the Midwest and its connection to seasonal ingredients grown close to home. It's what inspires our menu and our team. And it's what inspires us as we tell our own story with the flavors and spirits of the Midwest.

    Highly recommend Tullibee for both dinner AND brunch! We dined here twice over our babymoon weekend while staying at the Hewing Hotel and couldn't have been happier. Our server Bart was attentive and so awesome for our dinner on Saturday evening. He had great menu suggestions, which we went with and were blown away by the beignet with chili powder chocolate ice cream + nibs as our dessert option, too. Yum! Our server for Sunday brunch was excellent, too. I'm forgetting their name, but they suggested the breakfast sandwich for my wife and explained the mouthwatering way it was made by the chefs. I had the steak and eggs, which was also delicious. I just wish I had ordered it as medium well. Their "medium" seemed a little more like medium rare. Despite this, will definitely plan on visiting again! What's more? We saw Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and retired news/sports anchor Mark Rosen during our meals. Also, the location, ambiance, noise level, and overall vibe was great for both types of meals.
