The Dining Hall History

One of two remaining church dining halls in the State Fair Grounds, Salem Dining Hall first started serving Swedish Egg Coffee back in 1949. 70 years later, the dining hall is still staffed completely by volunteers with a mission of promoting relationships, enriching an intergenerational feeling of community, and supporting the mission of the church... all in the name of the Lord!

Salem Evangelical Lutheran Church is in the Webber- Camden neighborhood in North Minneapolis, and has been there for 125 years. Salem specializes in hospitality and welcomes all people, regardless of gender, race, sexuality, nationality, or ability.

Our Mission

The Salem Lutheran Dining Hall works to promote relationships between all members and friends of Salem, to enrich a feeling of community among all ages, provide financial resources to support the mission of the church, and share God’s love with all people through hospitality.
