Delicious and reasonable prices. I tried salmon with baked potatoes with spinach sauce. It's very appetizing.
There is an interesting interior inside, it is quite cozy. The only small disadvantage, but it does not affect the assessment: in summer, when it is hot and stuffy, you want to sit outside. And there is an outdoor terrace with tables. Some of the tables under the umbrellas were occupied. There were also empty tables, but for some reason the umbrellas above them were closed. And we were told that they would not open them. Because of this, it was not possible to sit outside. Still, it is not very comfortable to be under the hot sun, especially if precipitation falls. It is not very clear what prevented the umbrellas from being opened on another part of the terrace. But this is a small thing.

About food: very large portions of Belarusian cuisine for a reasonable price. This is an undoubted advantage of this institution. The food is delicious. From the unusual: here you can try the testicles of a bull in a pot.
The service is friendly. All the dishes were brought quickly, but I waited for dessert for a very long time. The staff is polite and courteous. I was sitting on the terrace, so the atmosphere was very cozy for me. It was cool and I was offered a warm blanket. It was very pleasant. I recommend visiting connoisseurs of Belarusian cuisine.

A competent menu, not a very large selection of dishes, which is correct. There is everything: vegetables, meat, poultry, fish, desserts.
Fast serving, large portions.
Of the cons: I got a waiter who does not know the composition of the dishes.
I mixed up the ordered salad (ordered with fish, brought with bacon, while, of course, I did not forget to include it in the bill)
We ordered a hot meat platter (pork, chicken, beef) - all chops are like a sole. Dry, not tasty.
The first is a hodgepodge. Strangely, it was with sauerkraut, lemon, olives... A strange set.
In general, they went according to reviews, with a great desire to visit a wonderful place, and left with a desire not to return.

A very tasty cafe, there is a summer veranda, everything is very tasty, satisfying, and, as for me, it is budget-friendly (about 20 rubles per dish), the waiter with an earring in his nose smartly builds communication with the guest, I was very upset that I did not have time to change money for Belarusian to leave a tip. I definitely recommend this cafe for lunch or dinner. Casserole and machanka with pancakes are just thieves of hearts.

On February 26, 2024, my husband and I visited this wonderful cafe.
Absolutely amazing place!
We were delighted. The interior is cozy and stylish, creating the perfect atmosphere for a romantic dinner or a meeting with friends, a family dinner.
The staff was attentive and friendly. I would especially like to mention the waiter Pavel, who professionally orients himself into me, suggested me in the choice of dishes.Really delicious cuisine. I was pleased with the variety of the menu.
Oh, this kitchen... it's just great! All the dishes were fresh and delicious.
Respect to the chefs.
The perfect combination of price and quality.
You can write a lot of reasons to visit a cafe, but it's better to visit and experience this wonderful atmosphere for yourself. We will definitely come back here more than once! We recommend it, you won't regret it.

You know, we got here by chance, according to a banner, next to the cafe "Cornflowers" (there was a queue at the entrance). We were looking for traditional cuisine and found it here.
The food is very tasty, there are almost always places in the cafe, the waiters are pleasant and efficient, the check is average, even probably a little lower than the competitors, the atmosphere is cozy, they cook quickly. We had a wonderful time. I recommend it to those who are looking for peace and tranquility in this world. Of the cons, probably not a rich selection of beer.

A good institution, visited in July 2024 by a company of 5 men. The kitchen is a solid five, the waiter service is also good. The only disadvantage is the size of the table and seats (despite the fact that we made reservations in advance, a week before the visit, the five of us were seated at a small table in a corner, which did not even really fit the dishes we ordered, let alone feel comfortable at such a table. The overall rating of the institution is "Good".

We chose this place in order to comfortably spend a birthday in a pleasant atmosphere, we were very disappointed.
Disgusting service, very
long serving of food and drinks, a very
dark room with almost zero lighting, several dishes had to be returned to the kitchen due to the fact that they were burnt, after which they had to wait about 40 minutes for their replacement. The prices do not correspond to the quality of the food and even more so to the service, on the birthday there was a discount on the entire menu, since no other conditions were specified anywhere, which we learned only when we asked for the bill.
If you want to try
the local cuisine and enjoy the evening,
choose another place, not this
place.

The food is a bit greasy, for an amateur, but generally delicious. Kvass is extremely good. Atmospheric.
BUT. When the hall is filled by a quarter (with visitors), it takes a very long time to prepare dishes. We waited forty minutes, and then asked for a complaint book. The staff immediately began to argue with us, claiming that hot food is served everywhere within an hour (we were not warned about this when we made the order). As a result, the book was never provided, because we were in a hurry, we did not insist, we write a review here.

We came to Minsk for a couple of days and decided to try draniki in an institution with local cuisine. We read about an institution on Zen in the top of such authentic places.
The situation of the restaurant was immediately alerted - the basement was almost windowless and with an EMO waitress. But we didn't show it. We ordered draniki and beer - neither one nor the other was impressed.
Draniki seemed to be baked by a grandmother without a soul. I can cook better purely because of my attitude, although I don't know how to cook.
Beer is even worse. It seemed that it was watered down, and the light beer also stank. Top 2 Worst beers I've Tried
It is difficult to explain how this institution manages to defame very high-quality Belarusian cuisine in such a way. My explanation is that the name speaks for itself. Yankees (English Yankee) are real Americans, descendants of European colonialists. Draw your own conclusions

We were with friends in Minsk on the May weekend. There were no limits to the cultural shock of the size of the establishments, people were literally sitting on top of each other!
After a long walk, we finally wanted to taste the national cuisine, and we went in search of pancakes! Fate brought us to the Yankee Cafe.
How delicious it was! The tinctures are top, especially horseradish, the first dishes - we tried solyanka and borscht with lard were just incredibly delicious, and the portion was quite generous (:
But what can we say about draniki... They are simply incomparable. Two dishes and drinks (tinctures, sprite and tea) it cost me about 1,500 Russian rubles :)
I would also like to note that in comparison with other more popular restaurants, this institution is not inferior to them in any way. The food is delicious, there is no crowd queue, the service is super, the veranda, the only thing that confused me, and because of what I put 4 stars, is that, unfortunately, they forgot about half of our order. But this issue was quickly settled.
If you are faced with the choice of "Cornflowers" or "Yankees", choose definitely the latter. Thank you for your hospitality! 💞

Были с семьёй - 10 человек. Обстановка уютная, напоминает таверну, персонал замечательный, улыбчивый, добрый и очень шустрый. Меню выбрали традиционное белорусское: борщ (пальчики оближешь, а за смачное сало драться будешь), дранники с грудинкой и грибами (чтоб я так вкусно готовила), колдуны с отбивной (даже не знала, что такое бывает), сковородка по-деревенски (нежна свинина и волшебный картофель), десерт ("аааа, такое мы быстро приготовим" Эти слова официанта меня поразили почему-то). Каждое блюдо приготовлено с любовью. Подача быстрая. Медведь на стенке:))) сильно выглядит.
Открытие с 15:00
Чек на семью 4 человека: 75.3 Бр
Предисловие. Стояли мы у кафе Васильки, в очереди, ждать сказали 20-30 минут, чтоб пустили в кафе и 40 минут ожидание приготовления. (Но нам же порекомендовали, вот стояли...ждали) Ну такое себе удовольствие.... По локации нашли кафе У Янки, пошли на разведку втроем. Посмотрели меню, в предвкушении заказа муж ушел за остальными. И мы не прогадали, а наоборот выиграли. Спустя 15 минут мы приступили к трапезе. Все вкусно отобедали и ушли гулять сытые и довольные.
Рекомендую! 5 звёздочек, покорили в самое сердечко!!!
