  My favorite place for lunch in Downtown Minneapolis; I eat here almost every week. The veggie avocado wrap is sublime - packed with cucumbers, tomatoes, and other fresh vegetables, with hummus, and - best of all - half a fresh avocado. A nice serving of fruit is included. I sometimes have a lettuce wrap, for variety (bringing it back to my office once, a coworker exclaimed "That is an incredibly healthy looking lunch!"). Also very much like their heirloom sandwiches and various salads.
  
  This can get very busy at lunch, so be prepared to wait a few minutes. Unlike other Downtown locations, this one has very limited seating.
  
  Highly recommended for quality, healthfulness, and value.

  This review is about the "Salmon Avocado" salad.
  
  It's objectively disgusting. They used smoked salmon (but don't tell you that in the online menu). If you've never tried smoked salmon with kalamata olives, just skip it.  No sane person would ever put these two ingredients in the same dish and call it "yummy".

  Always a safe choice for a quick lunch. Smoked salmon avocado salad is my ultimate go-to here. Ingredients are super fresh! Don't forget to grab some of their free garlic breadsticks before checking out...especially when they just lay out a new fresh hot batch!

  I always enjoy my experience at D Brian's. The food always seems fresh, and the service is quick and efficient. Most often I get a made to order salad. They are very flexible and responsive to requests. Seasoned bread sticks are a bit addictive.

  D Brian's is one of those places that's good for a group lunch when you have people who want something grilled, another person who only eats salad, or your lunch is for sammiches only crew. I've eaten a few times and only really give them 2 stars for all-day breakfast.
  
  Pro
  Bfast all day
  Food made to order
  Calorie estimates on food (tho can be misleading in their calculations)
  
  Cons
  The food is okay. Nothing great. I've had a decent sammich and salad, but the french toast today was pretty flat white bread.
  Spendy. The skyway is a spendy place to eat lunch -- especially as you move farther into downtown, but it's spendy for nothing special
