Bar Abilene
Spice things up with a Tex-Mex Sunday buffet. Uptown’s Southwestern hub serves up smoky breakfast fare, plus there’s a bloody mary bar. Since brunch runs from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., chances are you can catch the game with other fans in the lounge. $10.95. 1300 Lagoon Ave. S., Mpls., 612-825-2525, barabilene.com

Bombay Bistro
Indian cuisine in an elegant setting keeps this downtown Minneapolis spot hopping. The weekday lunch line gets long with workers waiting for curries and tandoor specialties.
