We went to lunch, tempted by the fact that there is no queue, Yankee billboards stand at the entrance to Cornflowers, where there was a queue to enter. We were disappointed by the completely indifferent waiter, who does the work without enthusiasm and the fact that the dishes brought to us turned out to be far from the expected quality. After having a snack, and my wife also refused a low-quality dish, we left. We were really told that they do not have a mass market, but they cook individually, I did not notice this.
Bollke does not want to eat in such a place and does not want to give recommendations!!! 😜
On April 24, 2024, we went in with friends, trusting the reviews. I really liked the atmosphere of the cafe, the friendly service.
The dishes are delicious, they were not served quickly, but within reasonable limits. Everything that 6 people ordered was very tasty! Ilya is a very good waiter. Thanks for the service!
We came from Moscow to Belarus for the NG holidays. I found the top 10 places where you can eat in Minsk on the Internet and the restaurant "Yankee's" was one of them. We decided to come here for dinner.
Positive: It was delicious for me. I ordered chicken breast with cheese and mushrooms. I threw away the cheese cap, but the breast was delicious. Only very thin. The pancakes are greasy, but delicious.
The young man did not like it, he ordered pork (steak). I haven't tried it, I can't add anything from myself. But I liked his borscht, rich and with pieces of meat.
Cons: the place is not cozy, it resembles some kind of pub. The morse was brought cold, it was not very pleasant to drink. I didn't like the dishes. They bring only one device for each, i.e. if I ate the pancakes and they bring me the breast, I need to have time to pick up the fork and knife before they are taken away and eat dirty. Long service time.
I'm not going back there a second time.
We visited this place on April 8, 2024, celebrated my birthday with my family, everything is at the highest level, the cuisine is very tasty, the portions are large, the waiter served well attentive and knows his job and etiquette. We will definitely come again! And good luck to you and of course more customers!!!
Excellent national cuisine, loyal prices, good service. The atmosphere of comfort and tranquility. I highly recommend travelers to try the local cuisine. And the reviews of local residents say that this is one of the best places
Excellent menu and serving! Everything is very tasty. Belarusian cuisine is the most Belarusian! I recommend it to everyone who will be in Minsk. The location is also very convenient, in the center, accessible. We liked everything. Both the menu and the serving. Thanks!!!
We were in Minsk in early November 2024, and for the first 2 days we could not eat delicious food😂After reading reviews about the Yankee cafe, we decided to go and enjoy the national cuisine, and it was a success! Thank you and I recommend it 100%!😋Delicious
Insanely delicious!!! The swallow's nest is amazing! The portions are large, the prices are normal. Very interesting interior design, in a wooden style. Attentive staff. Minsk is on the level! Thank you so much, it was a pleasure. With love from Gomel.
It's not the first time we've eaten here. Always clear, delicious food, without frills, but the format of the cafe does not involve haute cuisine. The prices are super affordable, the service is friendly. I recommend.
We tried the national cuisine: pancakes, dumplings, mochanka. Everyone liked it, especially compared to the establishments we've been to before. The service is good, serving dishes at the same time to everyone, which is nice. We waited for about 30 minutes. A very pleasant impression
Very tasty! The dishes are large and hearty in volume. However, the hall is a little dark. But it creates a feeling of solitude. The interior is folklore and cozy. The musical accompaniment is unobtrusive and calm. Overall, it's a great cafe!
The waiters are very nice and friendly. Delicious liqueurs. The food quality is average. The walls are decorated with stuffed birds and animal skins. Our hotel, the Crowne Plaza, is located nearby, so it was convenient for us to come here for dinner. 1 time.
Wonderful dishes and large portions, the food is delicious;
And the prices are adequate;
Top-level service;
The staff is wonderful, the atmosphere is warm and cozy, as well as pleasant music.
The waiting time is short.
Everything is great!!!
I advise you to visit!!!
28.11. 2023- booked a table at the Yankee cafe and did not regret coming here.The competition is very big, there are a lot of cafes, but here the price and discount for birthday people have bribed. Everything is just super!We ordered a herring with vodka.Just great!AI potatoes are delicious and herring, and red fish, like stroganina, pickled red onion. I also liked the Yankee's signature salad. We ordered a chicken chop for hot - it's just gorgeous, and a friend- the third one ordered sorcerers - they are also very tasty! The service is excellent!I recommend it to everyone!And you will rest and eat delicious!We will also celebrate the next birthday "At the Yankees" or just come for dessert with cappuccino"Lyudmila Pyzh
A good cafe with dishes of national cuisine. The food is very tasty. I liked the dark Rechitsa beer. They serve us politely and quickly. I was not inspired by the bear and boar skins on the walls: I am not a vegetarian, but they did not contribute to my appetite. And in contrast to the bright sun outside, it was so dark inside that I couldn't read the menu on my own. It is also printed in a specific font. I take off one star for this
It's very tasty, the portions are large, the atmosphere is pleasant, in general, everything is fine! It's not for nothing that we didn't get into Cornflowers and came here)
In general, it's good, but there are Cornflowers around the corner, where waiting for hot is not 1 hour and everything else is the same.
Gypsies walk along K. Marx Street and try to start a conversation, if you are on the summer veranda, it is unpleasant
An inexpensive cafe within walking distance from the train station. It's nice to have a snack before the trip. The cuisine is traditional and delicious. Friendly service. In general, nothing outstanding.
We came from St. Petersburg. We found this cafe according to estimates. The food is delicious, fast serving. The staff is friendly. The prices do not differ from those in St. Petersburg.
Great place!
for the second holiday in a row, we have dinner here. on the second vacation, they did not exchange Russian rubles for local ones and did not have time to leave a tip. I recommend this place.
our hit is a machanka with pancakes.
An incredibly friendly waiter who is dark.
It was so embarrassing that they left without a tip.
sorry! we'll be back next summer))
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

Super service! Very good cuisine, especially the pancakes with meat)) the food arrives quickly. The evening was delicious and cozy! Thanks! There were only positive emotions from the trip to Minsk
The interior is cozy. Waiters work fast, unlike cooks. The prices are average, you can pay with a Russian MIR card. The ordered hodgepodge is too salty, too much acid.
A cozy place near the railway station. Polite, friendly staff, interesting interior and most importantly - delicious and quite reasonable prices.
We wanted to try the national Belarusian dishes. The potted pancakes, warlocks and potato dough prepared here are definitely worth a try. The portions are hearty.
Great place, national Belarusian cuisine! It is in demand among both the local population and guests of the city, so it is better to book a table in advance. Cozy atmosphere, polite and helpful staff. Very tasty food, beautiful presentation, an impressive amount of portions. Quite a fast serving of dishes, in the absence of free tables! A pleasant atmosphere for relaxation! They left well-fed, satisfied, and in a great mood! Next time we are in Minsk, we will definitely come here and recommend it to others!!!
Alas, "spinach pancakes" are pancakes without spinach on a plate. Something dry green is added directly to the dough. There is absolutely no taste of spinach. It would be better if onions, garlic, dill, nettles, and even snot were added. But FRESH greens in the middle of summer. By the way, "pancakes With brisket and champignons" are pancakes and meat and mushrooms NEXT to each other on a plate
The waiters don't know the menu. It's not tasty. A little cockroach was running around the table. The establishment is located in the basement of the house. The toilet didn't smell very nice. When they asked for the bill, the blond guy replied: And who served you? Contact this person)))
The food is delicious, the kitchen works fast, however, as do the waiters. The atmosphere is in the basement, quite colorful, can be interesting.
They are served quite quickly))
I recommend.
Good location.
The food is not delicious, the wait is very long with incomplete boarding, we chose this place based on reviews, but as it turned out, you can not always trust the rating and reviews.
Very tasty pancakes with pork chops (pictured below)!! I remember it now. A good hodgepodge, chicken with beans is also delicious, good portions, not expensive :) It's definitely worth coming in and trying! I recommend.
We visited this institution.
We ordered pancakes with brisket, the dish was cooked a long time ago, just warmed up before serving (they were almost cold) . Because of this, the pancakes tasted disgusting.
You need to be able to ruin a national dish like that.
A rustic frying pan was also ordered, the potatoes were cold inside the dish, and the chicken egg on top was dried like chips.
We do not recommend visiting.
I really liked visiting the Yankees, delicious cuisine, reasonable money for dishes, special thanks and I want to mention it. The service and the staff of the waiters (very attentive, polite, appreciate the time of the guests and know their cuisine very well and can help with preferences).
We are very satisfied and it has become a favorite place to visit!
I thank everyone who works at the institution for the coziness and comfort!
This is the most favorite place in Minsk, the authentic atmosphere, the amazingly delicious cuisine... You will be satisfied both in a large company and together with a loved one. Enjoy your stay)

A good inexpensive national institution for lovers of Belarusian cuisine. The prices are low, the assortment is quite large, the contingent is adult, suitable for feasts of 50+ and foreign guests to get acquainted with our cuisine.
I can't say that it was delicious to me, vinegar borscht, fat does not chew on it, there is a lot of mayonnaise in a salad with chicken, but for 2 dishes less than 30 rubles, and I haven't seen such prices in Minsk for a long time.
The waiters were not eager to take the order and rolled their eyes a little, but then surprisingly quickly everything was brought and after tipping they began to work more actively. I won't come back for sure myself, but at the request of an inexpensive place with local cuisine, I will mention it.
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! 💞
Unfortunately, the national cuisine cafe had only draniki from national dishes. The kitchen is not tasty, the staff is not friendly. The idea of the cafe is good, but something needs to be changed.
Pleasant atmosphere, interesting interior. The kitchen is on the level, the menu is varied. We were interested in the dishes of Belarusian cuisine, the choice and quality pleased us. The portions are large. The prices are adequate. I really liked the horseradish tincture. We ordered a similar one in 2 more cafes, it's not like this, Yana's is just amazing) One moment upset us, we went to my DR, usually cafes and restaurants make a compliment. I was ignored here.
We accidentally wandered here on March 9 due to the lack of places in nearby establishments. To be honest, after dinner, we never regretted staying here.
We took a steak, a frying pan of potatoes with meat and 2 plates of borscht. Special respect for borscht, served with delicious bacon, horseradish and a fragrant loaf. The rest of the dishes were also delicious. I recommend the restaurant for 5 out of 5. The prices are reasonable, about 20-25 rubles for the second course and 10 rubles for soups. There is a 20% discount for the birthday boy, which we took advantage of. Thank you guys for a pleasant evening
We visited this institution in December 2023 with my wife. We really liked it. A cozy and atmospheric place with excellent cuisine and fast food.
We strongly recommend you to visit.
