About Us
Origin of Dave's Downtown
David & Sue Barnier have been in the restaurant business since 1986. Starting with Butler Express in the Butler Square Building, they focused on hearty homemade food served with a smile. Dave & Sue expanded to a larger location for Butler Express and opened three more in Bloomington, including Dave’s by the Lake in the Normandale Lake Office Center. After deciding to step back from the restaurant business to spend more time with their nine kids, yes they have nine kids, they found they couldn't stay away for long. In 2008, Dave took over Mykenna’s in the Forum building and brought their family-style food and friendly service to create Dave’s Downtown at 900 2nd Ave S, Minneapolis, MN 55402. Every one of their nine children has worked or currently works for them, making Dave’s Downtown a true family-owned and operated business. They take pride in providing the downtown Minneapolis area with a unique lunch experience, attracting a varied crowd that shares a common desire for great food, fast, as seen in the popular Dave's Downtown menu.
