Gorman's Restaurant

Frozen everything!!! Can’t even take the time to grill a fresh chicken breast for the $18 chicken Ceaser salad. Get 2 week old ice cold grey chicken for a 12 year old. If the wife and children weren’t there there was a zero percent chance I pay. Frozen 17 hamburger. It takes 5-6 minutes to make fresh. Now I see why we were the only customers. Good news is we just moved into Lake Elmo and now know to never go back! I wouldn’t pay $5 for the food they charged $60 for!

Seems like a hometown diner from the past. Friendly and attentive staff preparing homemade meals. The menu is large and they serve breakfast all day. Hot ham and cheese sandwich was average served with a plethora of fries. Neither one would bring me back in. Shakes are large and easy to share. Pricing was fair and what you'd expect now of days. Wasn't overly busy on a weekday lunch so finding a seat wasn't an issue.

Interesting that a business that says value life via its pro life statute outside cannot be bothered to put their flag at half staff for children gunned down in a school shooting. Really odd, wouldn’t you say? I’ve also eaten there 1-2 times and the food is average at best. If you come on here giving it a positive review you are either a) wrong, b) delusional or c) lacking a moral compass.

the fried potatoes are soooooo yummy! Great burgers, great atmosphere! super friendly staff! we never been here before and I'm glad we stopped on our way through town. highly recommend!

Thanks to Gorman's for working thru the power outage on Tuesday June 2. While it threw the staff off a bit we still had a great breakfast and service. Thank YOU!

Way over priced. Fries are horrible, burgers are soggy and sloppy. Sad this place use to be awesome. So disappointed.

Fish sandwich is a rip off. They put two fish sticks in a big hoagie bun. And the hoagie bun wasn't even that great. The service was ok, but the waitress only spoke to my husband after I gave my order I was ignored.

Good breakfast and wonderful malts.

Classic American family restaurant filled with artifacts and stories of Lake Elmo history. Super friendly service and good eats.

One of our favorite spots for good ol' comfort food! The Gormans family is wonderful & I would highly recommend checking this place out if you haven't already! Best chocolate malts in town 😋

Freedom loving people here! Smiling staff to welcome you in. We chose our own seats, our orders were quickly taken to the kitchen, and soon after our food arrived piping hot! Knowledgeable and friendly service. All my food was tasty except for the side of corn. It was just lacking spice, good texture though. The shake I had was top notch. I hate to say it but most everywhere I've been lately seem to have forgotten what a milkshake should be. These are proper milkshake that can be scooped with a spoon or just as easily sipped through a straw and nothing falls out the straw when pulled out of the shake, perfect. I highly recommend this place for individuals and families.
