“Shout out to Cheryl. She did such a wonderful job serving us and went above and beyond. (*hope she gets a raise. ; ) hint hint*). The burgers are juicy. The cup cake shakes are delicious. You can have them split a shake if you want to share. I shared mine with my neice and nephew which they loved. Red velvet cupcake shake is awesome. There is outdoor seating, seating in a more enclosed restaurant area with tvs and booths, then the area more out in the open where you can refill your drinks and order food. Half of the times I have gone, we have gotten a discount off the food, like a 2 for 1 burger sale where you get the second burger free. I took my parents, my sister and her husband plus my neice and nephew. They all loved it.Parking: Parking is the grocery store parking lot with plenty of free parking.Kid-friendliness: Dude, let's just say, my neice, nephew, and I were running around outside playing tag while we waited for our food. Twas so much fun. (Nobody else was outside except for one of the store employees who is always nice to me and he seemed to be ok with the little monkeys running around playing tag with me. ; ) so nobody was disturbed incase any Karen's are reading this.)“
“I either have a great experience here, or I have a terrible experience here and it’s solely based off which employees are working that day/night. I know you can’t win them all, but upper management has their hands full I can tell. Regardless, the food always comes out as expected and I am happy with this location overall. The drive through is sometimes hard to get into with the sharp curve from the road in front of it.“
“We decided to try this spot on a hungry whim and found the food to be delightful. The poblano corn was wonderful. The PB&Jay burger was a fun treat. The BBQ sauce on the ribs is sweeter than you expect so take caution if you order the St. Louis rib mac & cheese - but do note if you mix it all up the cheese mellows the sweetness. Our server, Dani, was an absolute delight. Often she would have our drink refills before we even realized we were low. So if you’re hungry and on a whim, stop on by.“
“Had the 60/40 burger which was awesome and the fries with it were pretty good. Loved the cheese curds that were served with a berry ketchup which was surprisingly pretty good thought I’d hate it. Great waiter too. Only complaint was no parking. Ended up paying $10 just to park for dinner.“
“I can't say enough about how amazing Francis is! Outstanding food and drinks! They have the BEST Spicy Margarita that I have EVER had! Their drink menu has so many cool and unique cocktails that are different from any I have had before. Then there is the food...I literally think about the Chicken Sandwich daily. My daughter went 3 times the first week they were open, and continues to go weekly! There isn't an item in the menu that I've tried that is anything less than AMAZING! I HIGHLY recommend everyone tries it! You definitely do NOT need to be a vegan to love this food. Trust me, TRY IT! You'll love it and will ABSOLUTELY be back for more!Vegetarian options: The entire menu, including drinks, is vegan. No meat or dairy products, so perfectly suitable for vegetarians!“
“I got the 60/40 burger rare and chicken tenders with a hot dry rub, and it was cooked to my liking. I also got a Moscow Mule, it was okay, but nothing to write home about.Parking: There's a free parking lot but it doesn't have a lot of stalls. I had to park 2 blocks away and walk over. It wasn't a big deal but it would be less than ideal in the winter.“
“The OG Jucy Lucy spot (controversial to the 5-8 club). The burger itself is quite tasty, but nothing mind blowing as such. No frills, just simple good tasting burger, but the patty did have a rubbery texture, especially around the edges. The atmosphere is old school with bar and booth style seating. I could imagine myself grabbing a beer and burger after a long days work. Service can be better but I don’t blame them since they’re trying to maintain the heritage.Cash only, ATM inside.“
“Extremely friendly atmosphere and staff. Our server, Jackson, has the best personality. Being our first visit, he explained the ingredients and recommended to try different sauces which were great. We asked to speak with his manager and Danny was just as kind. It’s nice to see a manager supporting his team with pride.“
“Dined in on 3/25 and was greeted by Thunder who was very pleasant and inviting! He talked me through some great menu items and mock tails! I very much his service and the atmosphere provided by the Nicollet Diner! 10/10 will definitely be coming back!“
“Came here on a whim while we were walking around downtown Minneapolis. The service here is wonderful and shoutout to our waitress for being so awesome! It's a traditional style pub and walking in, we felt the chill and cool vibe and atmosphere. Plenty of seating around as well. We ordered the following: Soy garlic edamame: 8/10 - it was really good and salty from the soy! The edamame beans were steamed perfectly and provided that crisp pop when you bit into one. We would taste the garlic as well and it was very pleasant on the tongue. Mac and cheese: 8/10: I thought it would be the traditional noodles but it was penne style instead. It was rich, cheesy, creamy, and the pasta cooked al dente. It came with a toasted, buttered baguette slice. It was enough to feed two people and my coworker and I shared it. It was insanely good but I prefer the regular style mac and cheese noodles. To me, this was like a step above your average mac and cheese. Mexican corn dip - 9/10: do yourself a favor and get this as your appetizer! It tasted exactly like a warm elote! The flavors were outstanding and the added lime was the chef's kiss. it comes with fresh tortilla corn chips and when you first get a taste of the dip, you taste the richness of the Cotija cheese, and then follows the sweet corn and tangy lime juice and tajin. Then you end up with the slight spicy kick at the end. We all came to the consensus that this was our favorite item of the day! We finished every corn kernel. My other coworkers had a steak salad with blue cheese dressing and a slow roasted pull pork with tater tots. They both enjoyed their food as well. Prices were good for the portion size as well and our drinks were refilled and we were checked on regularly. Come try this place out! You won't be disappointment!“
“Just tried this place for the first time. Fun atmosphere, great service, great wine selection, and some of the best food I have had at a restaurant in a long while. The baby back ribs and the Five Spice Tofu were particularly good. Loved it!“
“We stopped by randomly tonight for dinner. The food was excellent - the kale salad is to die for, the ahi tuna bites tasted so fresh and of course the burger was amazing. My 6 year old loved his kids meal (friend chicken bites). We shared mini donuts as well, which was the perfect dessert!The service was also 10/10. Our waitress was truly a wonderful, super efficient and gave great suggestions! Super impressed overall!“
“I loved the nostalgic 50’s look and feel of Wagner’s drive in burger joint the food was cooked hot, fresh and fast it was impressive I loved the food and prices the service of my waitress was awesome she was very polite professional and friendly I would gladly recommend anyone who wants a high quality burger or other good food at low prices with impressive impeccable customer service go and try this small family friendly restaurant anytime your in the area!!!“
“Fantastic food! The Guy's sauce is delicious and the cook was extremely nice! I had the Gyro burger and I'll be back to try the bowls, which my wife loved.Kid-friendliness: A kids chicken tender meal and hamburger meal are on the menu and come with fries and a drink“
“Absolutely delicious food — friendly staff and owners, great vibe. Definitely recommend if you’re lookin for a quick tasty meal. Buffalo chicken sandwich is great & Fries are outrageous. Will be back on my next visit to Minneapolis.“
“Voted the best burger in the cities, the Mac & Cheese with chicken is my absolute favorite. But the chicken teriyaki bowl is incredible also!! Don’t get me started on the desserts, the cookies, I can’t leave without grabbing one of those. The best you will find!Basically pick anything on the menu and you will love it!“
“Flameburger was a surprising experience!Full disclosure..I am a food snob! Although I've passed this place more times than I can possibly count (It's right on Central Avenue) the external tired appearance, and my own internal thoughts of what Flameburger could possibly be, dissuaded my desire to ever go.I'm issuing a PUBLIC APOLOGY and a direct apology to Jim (the love of my life) for the past 12 years of missed opportunities. He brought it up as an option early on. I'm guessing I was less than kind about our possible attendance. We stopped in once, and to my relief they were closed..He never pushed it. I'm admittedly difficult.Well..I WAS WRONG!!Note to self, follow your own advice and never judge a book by it's cover!!Flameburger was incredible!Everything was spot on! Perfect Burgers(grilled onions to die for), amazing fish,the best onion rings I've ever had. Crinkle cut fries (which I usually frown upon) were deep fried in some sort of magic! I'm not even a fried food big fan,but exceptions were made and everything was exceptional.Even the soda was pretty old school delicious!The atmosphere...at first, old, tired, I hate booths, but we made do..After a little bit, I felt all the vintagy kitschy goodness of days gone by. And it was clean!! This is huge, it was super clean. No lingering odors of oil and the smell of the flames and fresh burger meat were on point!I always thought it was a counter service fast food type place, so I was pleasantly surprised to sit and have an actual menu in hand and a real live Server.Wonderful Jessie came and took our order (with an pen and pad!). Not ordering from an app at the table is definitely becoming something I'm becoming to appreciate. Once again, old school for the win!I love to see who is involved! Watching John flip burgers in flames taller than me on the flame grill, work the fryers and land all of our food exactly timed perfectly was art!!The price point was still affordable and based on what was on our plates, definitely a better bet than most places.We'll definitely be going back as I was distracted and forgot to order a malt and a milkshake to go..I'm guessing they will match all of the rest of the goodness..And who knew!!! Breakfast is a big thing here. Yes, we'll have to make it a destination spot for breakfast one day soon!!Soooo, if you already knew, you knew. I hope that I'm outing a possibly well kept secret.For all of my fellow foodies, put down your phones and ordering apps, get out of your food halls and pretentious hand crafted nonsense, skip your bougie happy hour over inflated $14 appetizers matched with your $14 cocktails and don't miss the opportunity to go to Flameburger! You won't regret it!!“
“Not many people, pretty calm. Had the fish tacos, which were not very flavorful, but I ordered a lot of stuff off of it. Fried pickles were good. Pop was not very carbonated, but obviously it didn't take away from the experience. Probably wouldn't go again, but that's just me.“
“Food great but as I walked up to the counter the young lady looked at me and went to the back and the other employees just looked at me no one said hold on or she will be back It was awkward especially with the other employees just looking at me and no one said nothing started to leave just as I was about to leave she asked can I help you.“
“Best burger I have ever had. (Coastal something burger, they said it was new). The patties and bacon were HOT flavorful, juicy and perfect. The toppings were COLD and amazing. The bun was fresh and toasted… My Burger does not “check the box”… My Burger is the BURGER TO BEAT! I’ll never visit MN without visiting My Burger.Service and cleanliness was ***** as well.Price was very reasonable. I’ve paid more for less many times!Easiest 5 starts I’ve ever given.Owners, keep up the good work. I don’t know how you do this good at scale… but please consider a franchise in UTAH!! ❤️?“
“Modern Times has a cool, creative/artistic vibe to it. The cafe is bright and the staff are friendly. I love that they offer several GF options an entire vegan menu. The miel is delicious and their breakfast sandwiche on GF bread was amazing.“
“I love Snuffy's. The food is always good, as is the service. I gave 4 stars because at our table there were some that ordered 1/2 malts and others that ordered full, and they were the same size...same amount in the metal cup. Server identified them as "half" and "full" when serving them (and charged accordingly). Just a note to the Snuffys folks, because there's a big difference in the cost.“
“I've been a patron of Uncle Franky's since before it became Uncle Franky's and Uncle Franky’s never fails to make me happy! My top picks are the Philly (with white cheese) and the Italian Beef, with either fries, rings, or tots; that decision I make on the spot. I've had many other items on the menu, and everything is consistently delicious, served promptly and piping hot, and all is reasonably priced. Uncle Franky's is simply irresistible!“
“Great Culver's. Honestly I was there around 1:30pm and there were 8 cars in front of me. A bit of a wait. But once I ordered and got to the window to pay,, my order came out within minutes. Hot and exactly how I ordered it. I highly recommend this Culver's“
“This place is amazing, the staff is so helpful! They don’t charge as much as others and They are always upgrading and redoing the felt on all the tables, getting new house cues, and the food is better and cheaper than mostly restaurants. Very friendly and relaxed. Whether you’re a professional or just beginning, if it’s your first date night, anniversary, birthday party this place will take care of you. Thank you so sue and jimmy!!!“
“Had a good breakfast here after an event at the Earle Brown Center. I'm a pancake lover and theirs are really good. They're not the light fluffy kind, they're more dense and really delicious. Huge, served hot, and have a nice hint of vanilla. My only gripe is no real maple syrup, even for an extra cost, and the only alternative to the fake stuff is diner-grade strawberry jam or grape jelly. Lots of nice whipped butter tho :)Other diners at my table liked the French toast, eggs & toast and the American fries. They really know how to do eggs, I'd come back and try an omelet or one of the specials.Vegetarian options: Substitutions are not allowed so you might be SOL if you want something without the meat. For the pancakes or French toast you can choose between bacon or eggs on the side.“
“It's been many years since I've been to Dave's just due to my proximity to the location...but I will now start adding this as a more frequent option to make the hike over. The food was amazing, the variety of food was amazing and the atmosphere was really nice.“
“Came to Char Bar for the first time for happy hour on Saturday with Kim T. Char Bar is a speakeasy on the inside of Butcher & Boar (through the glass doors). We arrived around 4:45 pm on a Saturday and it wasn't too crazy busy, we were one of a handful of tables. The hour menu was pretty good! A good amount of food and drink items ranging between $6-10. I had the Chicken Sammy ($10), Kim had an Arby's style 3 Way Beef & Cheese sando ($17), and we split the Curly Fries ($6). I also ordered two of the non happy hour burgers to go ($8/each). I really liked my sandwich a lot, chicken was perfectly crispy, the slaw was savory and sweet, Polynesian vibes. I would absolutely get it again! Kim liked her sandwich but she said the sauce was too much and soaked the bottom of the bun, the curly fries were fine. I had a dragon tattoo cocktail, serenity pineapple rum cocktail, and a frozen rum & cherry coke slushy. Drinks were boozy but pricey! Loved the menu showing the drinks very cute and visibly pleasing. Update: Butcher Burger ($8) was sensational! It's no Parlour Bar burger but it's sooo good, tasted gourmet and traveled well. Fun fact: the restaurant group over Parlour Bar also owns Char Bar! I liked the pickled onions and the chipotle mayo cheese sauce, good solid burger for a good price!“
“Best burger I have had in a long time! Service was great and atmosphere was amazing. My first Juicy Lucy and it was fantastic, first time anyone ever got the meat cooked right.Only reason for the 4 star is that the Bun came out cold. If it was toasted and warm, that would have made this the perfect burger joint.“
“Love when I walk into a restaurant and I can see and smell the history! What a charming little neighborhood spot. Was so pleasantly surprised to see that they have a separate room with pool tables and a few different games. Thank you tooties for not renovating your restaurant to look like every other modern restaurant in the US. Keep the charm, keep the old, keep the nostalgia!“
“I don’t think this place gets enough recognition after taking over the old Rock Elm. We come here about once or twice a month and always have a great experience. Food is always solid and reasonably priced. They also have a great kids menu, which is a bonus for us with a four year old. Easy enough to get a table on weekends and the staff, from the hostesses to the servers, are very friendly and attentive! Pizza is really good, along with their burgers, sandwiches, wings, fries and cheese curds. Paulie’s has become our new favorite family dinner spot in MG.“
“My husband and I finally checked out this neighborhood spot for dinner and loved it! We had a the Cajun cheesesteak, mushroom Swiss burger with watermelon mojito lemonade. Tasty baked fries and yummy dipping sauces.We took a piece of cheesecake to go and wow! It was top tier! Obviously some secret family recipe made with love and well-honed craft. 10-10.We're excited to come back and try the bowls and other cheesesteaks.“
“Food was pretty good. (breakfast)Had ham & cheese omelet. It I cluded toast & hashbrowns. Also ordered a stack of pancakes. All was good & warm. Could have had a little more ham in the omelet. Server was excellent. Yes, I'd eat there again.“
“Affordable upscale in downtown Minneapolis. It's nice to find a place where sit down entrées range from $20-30 and it provides a good setting for a business meeting. I had a steak, which had a bit of an Asian theme to it but was delicious.“
“Delicious ice cream! Friendly staff, lots of flavors to choose from and even provide samples if you are having a hard time deciding. Had to park down the block and a small interior that doesn't encourage a stay a while and enjoy yourself atmosphere. But the kids loves the split option to be able to get a couple of flavors without a ridiculous amount. They are already begging to go back so they can try more flavors.“
“I really enjoyed the chicken sandwich & my nephew said it was the best cheeseburger he's ever had (he's 5, but still).You can technically eat there (or in the connected laundromat) but I recommend getting it to go.Staff is friendly & they have parking on-site.“
“I have been dining at 50's Grill in Brooklyn Center for over 30 years with my family and have so many fond memories as a result.My sister and I stopped in for lunch again yesterday and had a great time reminiscing about childhood meals at 50's Grill.50's Grill is an absolute time warp!! From the nostalgic waiting room to the decor, staff uniforms, and delicious, homecooked food, this place has remained unchanged.With so much of the City of Brooklyn Center evolving (not in a good way) over the past 20 years, it's so refreshing to see 50's Grill continuing to thrive with great people & food.Thank you to the entire 50's Grill family for helping to make your restaurant a special place!“
“My wife and I were there for lunch , as we have before and have had a great time but not this time .They seated us and our waitress greeted us which was fine, we ordered I had the special a walleye sandwich it was good, a little messy but good. My wife ordered the hot turkey sandwich and that was not so good the turkey meat looked old like leftovers the whole meal just did not look appealing. She asked if she could get a little more gravy which they brought out, the gravy had a lot of pepper in it making it hard to eat. So we got our bill and got ready to leave when we notice that they charged us two dollars for a small bowl of gravy. It maybe quite some time before we go back, but next time we know what not to order.“
“My Burger is a generous donor to school fundraisers, and so Ive been eating here once a month with a BOGO coupon, and even at twice the price, this is a great fast-ish food place. Crisp fries, fresh burgers with toasted buns and good toppings. What more are you looking for? Oh right, milkshakes. I usually just take a few sips from my kid's and yes it is amazing. I've sat at the counter and watched the kitchen staff do their choreography. There's some fun art on the walls. It's a good vibe.“
“My recent dining experience was an absolute explosion of flavor! The calamari was a perfect introduction - crispy, tender, and bursting with freshness. It's definitely a contender for my all-time favorite appetizer.The burger was a revelation. The patty itself was juicy and flavorful, but the real star was the especial sauce. It added a depth and complexity that took the burger to a whole new level.The flank steak? Wow. It wasn't just delicious, the texture was incredible - melt-in-your-mouth fluffy. A true testament to the chef's skill. I do appreciate the staff who recommended me to have it medium so that I enjoy the tenderness as well as the flavor!And then came dessert: a decadent symphony of chocolate in 50 shades. It was rich, satisfying, and the perfect ending to a phenomenal meal. To top it all off, the flan was equally delightful.The staff were super amazing and friendly, attentive, and always there to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience. The view of the lake added the finishing touch to a truly memorable evening. Summer can't come soon enough so I can have a seat outside and enjoy it all again!“
“Alicia is great and will make your day better! Sheila is a bit intense but managable. Fun intense...like camping. John is the best bartender in the place. I'm not sure how Brandis still works there....in a good way. She's like a mean sister who would actually cry if you died. If Davey is working, tell him to quit his job and drink with you instead. He will give it serious thought. HAley (not Hailey, she sucks) will, without fail, screw up your first order but will spend all of eternity aplogizing. Mary OG (Thursdays) pretends she likes people and dogs but secretly only likes dogs. The food is above average bar food. The smash burgers are always a great choice. There is one regular who sometimes steals shots but he will buy you a new one, so it's okay! Check 'em out!“
“This local "dive bar",checks all the boxes. A nice mix of standard beers, craft beer, and beer from a bygone era (Old Style on tap). Short menu (small grill next to the bar) but the sausage patty burgers are the best. And don't forget the potato salad. I am always amazed with the bartenders who can serve drinks to a full house and grill food in-between pours.This place is the epitomy of NEMPLS“
“This spot was a little unexpected. When I am traveling, I love to scope out great liquor stores to find unique or more rare bottles of bourbon, and when I was talking to my friend from the cities, she said we had to go to Surdyk’s. She also said that she heard they have a pretty exceptional bar/restaurant connected to it. I was sold. The liquor store itself did not disappoint with floor to ceiling options, but Sidebar was equally impressive. It had a great ambience, this house old-fashioned might be one of the best I have ever had, and their food was unexpectedly elevated for being a restaurant connected to a liquor store. For example, they don’t have onion rings, they have onion bhaji which is like an onion fritter that was exploding with flavor and texture. Even these roasted brussels sprouts had additional elements that set them apart. There is an obvious reason that the liquor store was celebrating its 90th anniversary. When you’re doing things that well, people recognize it.Wheelchair accessibility: **one caveat I will give to this experience is that if you use a wheelchair or can’t manage stairs, you will need to enter the restaurant through the liquor store. The liquor store clerk that I asked about getting to the restaurant told me I had to go outside and get in the side door, but there were stairs, so I had to find a manager that could let me in through the liquor store.“
“Good bar food, good bar drink options, friendly staff. Maxine is the best! Popcorn and pull tabs, it kinda feels stuck in the 80's but sometimes that's a good thing. Besides, it's in Osseo which also seems like it's stuck in the 80's with the houses in the community being built in the 50's or older“
“Great traditional American Italian dishes, excellent people working there! Lots of cheese and delicious sauce. Super- duper warm, comfort food. Pricing has always been appreciated amongst locals. I wanna say, I think I it was 25 years ago that we tried this restaurant the first time and it's only gotten better with time.Kid-friendliness: Great family-friendly restaurant. They moved to a bigger, better location across the hwy from the original location. They used to play cartoons on a big screen for adults and big kids at heart! These days, you can't beat this restaurant for value and wonderful flavor. I really like their baked ravioli with a salad featuring yummy, made in house, ranch dressing. ?“
“I travel, so much, but i felt i should post. My parents and I have been patronizing this place for "decades." We used to snowmobile to it back in the day.It is locationed in the middle of a very nice urban area and off the interstate. It's location is not only very unique, but I think a gold mine or hidden gem as you will not find a establishment like this hardly ever. I encourage viewers to go to their website.Their broasted chicken IS unbeatable and is renowned throughout the city. Just ask.This place is wonderful as they offer "good music live bands" on Friday and Saturday nights at 9pm.Nice large patio area with a playground and 2 volleyball courts.Matt was my server tonight, and as usual/expected...Wonderful!“
“I came into the restaurant with my 2 children during busy lunch hour. We had a friendly staff experience and the quickest service I've ever gotten at Culver's. I think we got our food in less than a minute and a half. I was floored. They were so kind and friendly it spread to the patrons in the restaurant with me. Very good community feeling store. Love this location. Their A-team was on staff and I loved it. Food was delicious as always. A cone, a sundae, and a Culver's basket meal“
“first of all thank you for being open on Christmas day!! and with a full menu as well! I had the philly chicken sandwich and it was maybe the best I've ever had. great atmosphere, friendly and happy staff, a complete joy from beginning to end!“
“I ordered the hand crafted granola via DoorDash. I have ordered this before in the restaurant and it was great. Normally it comes in a huge portion with yogurt and fresh berries- perfect. What I got delivered was a soggy drink cup filled halfway with fruit- mostly -UNPEELED- orange slices with a couple apple slices and chunks of watermelon. There was a small amount of yogurt on top of that and a small amount of granola on top of that. The fruit choices really don’t work and aren’t what this normally comes with, even if we are setting aside the orange peels being a bad surprise buried under the little bit I got of what I did order. At first I thought this was a somewhat funny mistake, but having contacted the Uptown Diner and not even getting to talk to someone about a refund, since $14.65 is a lot to pay for a wet cup of inedible food. I live in the neighborhood and have loved this place for years, but this was bad food and bad service“
“Love their Parmesian steak and shrimp. Not to mention their triple bipass...er, i mean triple meltdown. A gooey chocolate cake with vanilla ice creamParking: At least a dozen parking spots designated for Apple bees aline plus a big old parking lot of spots there too.“
