Modern Times

9 AM to 3 PM is the decision point here: in Minneapolis, Modern Times is a daytime choice, not a dinner fallback. The verified details are limited, so the safest plan is simple: consider it for a casual daytime stop in Minneapolis rather than a produced night out.

Use it for an easy daytime plan, not a milestone meal

The case for going is practical. The posted hours suit a daytime meet-up, the dress code is casual. That makes it useful for travelers or locals planning around a Minneapolis day, especially when the goal is a relaxed stop rather than a formal occasion.

The tradeoff is that the available verified details do not support a splurge recommendation. There is no verified price range, cuisine category, chef, or award to rely on here, so the safer read is to use Modern Times for timing, ease, casual fit rather than culinary certainty. For a special-occasion dinner, the posted hours are the wrong format; for a daytime stop where simplicity matters, it is a reasonable candidate.

A smart two-visit strategy keeps expectations in check

First visit: go when the schedule matters more than the occasion. Treat it as a practical daytime anchor and decide whether the experience matches what the group wants. Second visit: return only if that first pass proves useful for the specific scenario, such as a casual catch-up or another low-key daytime plan.

That multi-visit approach matters because there is not enough verified detail to recommend a specific dish, format, or budget. Modern Times is easier to justify as part of a broader Minneapolis eating plan than as the sole reason to cross town. If the group wants a different kind of stop, compare it against Eat Street Crossing. If the priority is another casual option, Matt's Bar and Grill is also worth considering.
