There’s nothing quite like a cheap meal from a local diner. It’s so good and always hits the spot! We have quite a few diners all around Minnesota but there are only two that are still open 24 hours.
Delicious Diners in Minnesota
Before we get to those, I need to shout out a couple of other diners in Minnesota. The first one is the original Mickey’s Diner in downtown St. Paul.
They’ve been around since 1939 and used to be open 24 hours. But then, they closed during COVID and didn’t reopen until October of 2024. For right now, they are not open 24 hours but maybe they’ll go back to that eventually.
The other one is Penny’s Diner in Glenwood.
I used to go to Penny’s with friends when we were in college in that part of Minnesota! It’s a 24-hour diner but I had no idea that it’s actually a chain. There are 28 Penny’s Diners around the US.
Since it’s a chain it didn’t make my final list, but I would highly recommend if you’re in the area…
