32 Best Burger Restaurants near Hugo

“My husband and I have been going to the blacksmith restaurant for over 40 years. The only item I have had is their chicken which is addicting. They sell more Broasted chicken than anyone else in Minnesota. All their food is great but it is their chicken for me. At least once a week I have to have it. They have a 12 piece to purchase and take out also….we have done that after eating there !!!!!!!“

“We just went here for the first time. The staff was so welcoming and it was some of the best food we've eaten. We will be back again soon (probably next week, it was the delicious!) Plus it feels great to support a family-owned, local business! 1000% recommend trying Best Steakhouse!“

“The Tavern on Main is our go to when we go out for brunch, lunch, or dinner! It's hard to find better food in the area! 10/10 would recommend!“

“The tacos, burritos and bowls are the BEST! We go there at least 2 times a week now cause they are that good! The burgers are phenomenal as well. Hands down the best place to eat in Forest Lake.“

“What a GREAT place! Wings were fantastic! Drinks were great if I lived closer I would be at this place once or twice a month.!“

“We brought our family of six here for dinner and everyone enjoyed the atmosphere and food. Our younger kids had breakfast for dinner. They had wide eyes and smiles when they saw the whip cream and sprinkles! The rest of us had burgers and fries! The staff was kind and attentive. Prices are also reasonable for a large family. We will go back again.“

“My mom and I stopped in for lunch. I ordered the lunch ribs. They were some of the biggest ribs I have ever had. Lots of meat and so good! The sides had alot of flavor and everything was fresh. My toddler even approved! I would definitely go back!“

“Culver’s has the best Butter Burger’s - North Atlantic Cod & famous Custard of the day! I have been going to the Vadnais Heights Culver’s for several years! The friendly staff is “Impeccable “ I always buy the Calendars & Gift Cards! Thank You Culver’s for supporting our Farmers! 5 Golden Stars! 😊“

“Applebee’s in Forest Lake is a standout location, beginning with its convenient placement right off the main road and excellent handicap parking that makes access simple for everyone. Getting in and out is effortless, which sets the tone for a relaxed and enjoyable visit.

Inside, the atmosphere is immediately inviting. The combination of a well‑designed layout, the comforting aroma of good cooking, and the gentle hum of customer conversation creates a space that feels warm, lively, and ready to serve. The servers were very polite, neatly dressed, and genuinely eager to help. Their attentiveness added to the overall positive experience.

A special highlight was the manager. She stopped by our table to check in, asking if everything was alright and whether we needed anything. Her approach felt heartfelt and sincere—an authentic gesture that made us feel valued and welcomed.

The menu was well organized by food category, complete with appealing photos that made choosing a meal easy and enjoyable. And the food itself was outstanding—fresh, flavorful, and a pleasure to eat from start to finish.

I highly recommend the Forest Lake Applebee’s as a go‑to restaurant. From accessibility to atmosphere to exceptional service, this location delivers a consistently excellent dining experience.“

“They were so friendly and patient! The food is so bomb and honestly would highly recommend them! Such a great place and really good prices!“

“I was Happy to try the Flamethrower Burger w/Fries,along with a Medium drink/Flurry(Awesome service worthy of 10,000/10,000 of awesomeness)“

“Great people! Great food! Monthly specials are fun experiments that sometimes end up on the menu. If you haven’t been in a few years, give them another try. The current team and menu are awesome.“

“I tried the waffle & chicken and fish slider sandwiches in addition to some original sliders. All were tasty.“

“Great night for
Culver’s. Speedy service and not much of a line. Food was great as usual no issues with my order. The dogs approved of their pup cups. Somehow only one onion ring was in the bag when I made it home so that’s a mystery for next time“

“Excellent food, great prices and awesome service!“

“We go to Culver's in WBL a few times a month. My oder for the Bacon, cheese Butterburger has yet to be correct. Always missing an ingredient. This past Wednesday we went. Our meal was good and arrived quickly. When we ordered our dessert
it was so tiny we thought it was a joke. We ordered the flavor of the day. It truly barely covered the bottom of the dish. For $6 something I expect better. I love this location and have just decided it eon't be perfect so we continue to go. I have spoken to employees there and now just except that our order will usually not be correct. Never to order the flavor of the day again.“

“The individual working here are hard working and take on so much since they are under staffed. I went in today inside to order and one gentleman was running both the counter and drive through. Another was filling orders while I believe two people worked making our food with care. *** THEY WORKED HARD. THEY HUSTLED AND DELIVERED. *** Yes sometimes we all make mistakes Let's be patient and if you don't have time to wait don't go through ANY drive-through and turn your stress onto another individual without understanding there situation. If you only have 10 mins to spare that's on you. I applaud 👏 ✌️ 🙌 these individuals working full speed to satisfy to the best they can.“

“Sorry for the bad photo's, but the employees here are amazing 👏 Abby is a wonderful server and Raymond is an awesome manager! Today the two greeters saw a customer stuck in the parking lot and went outside to shovel and push them out! Almost made me tear up! Love this Applebee's and the employees!“

“Great Customer Service! Friendly and professional. Food is always fresh! Love the assistant manager! I eat/order at Culver twice a week!“

“Went this morning and was met with the happiest, most charming face at the window Culver's could ever ask for. My puppy appreciated his attention to 'pup cup' detail. I hope he feels as appreciated as we felt to be served by him.“

“Took my family here after church for lunch and some ice cream. Great experience. Food taste good and ice cream was wonderful. Got the strawberry angel cake blizzard amd they put strawberries in there. The other DQ I went to in south Minneapolis didnt do that which is surprising. Anyways, would definitely come back here for a bite and some desserts!“

“Me, Qatar, Mylles, and Eyeckton always go and get an ice cream cone after dinner on Saturday night so this Saturday we decided to go to the dairy Queen in mahtomedi Minnesota. I always get the small cone with the crunch toppings on it. Eyeckton ordered a small cone dipped in cherry shell coding and he got a side of the crunch toppings which was a full cup. Qatar ordered a small cone with crunch topping. Mylles ordered a large chocolate malt which looked very good. It's always a treat to go to dairy Queen.🍦“

“Had a great experience at the drive-through! Questions about off menu items were answered happily, and we were warned to be careful with our hot fries given we have small children. Left the drive thru having the feeling that my faith in humanity is restored!“

“I was Happy to try the Flamethrower Burger w/Fries,along with a Medium drink/Flurry(Awesome service worthy of 10,000/10,000 of awesomeness)“

“I'm not a big fan of Dairy Queen but this is a solid location. I have stopped by twice now for a black and white milkshake and they are consistently decent. Fast and convenient through the drive-thru but you'll get a better one at a local spot. Overall, for a Dairy Queen, this is a good location, but I'd stick with the local spots.“

“My Whopper and fries were the best I have ever had at the Forest Lake MN Burger King Today! I tried to call the store to give thanks and praise but was unable to reach anyone. My visit was so pleasant today and the last few times I visited in the DT that I removed my prior Google Review of this Location! Great Job with Getting My Order Correct and the Quality and Temp of the Food have been GREAT! I wish everyone rounded up so we have no Change to deal with! I also love the new Softer Choch Cookies! The Hole in the DT is Fixed also! Finally Someone is Paying Attention And Listen to what the Reviews have been and Changed it Around for the GOOD! Might not mean a lot to other people but it ment the World to me today so Thank You So Much #ForestLakeMNBurgerKing“

“We stopped in for a quick lunch with our two little girls, one who accidentally spilled a full glass of water on the table and floor, the worker, Angela, was so understanding and helpful!! She was very kind and made our visit very pleasant. The food was fresh and delicious too. Thank you for a good experience!“
