“The Robbinsdale Dairy Queen was a first visit for us, even though we live in Crystal. Our Crystal Dairy Queen closed down many months ago. The staff here was super nice the other day when we visited. Even joking about the total. Very simple menu, we ordered a small Oreo blizzard, which I think came to $5.29? And my husband got a chocolate malt, I can't remember his total but the all-around total came to about $11.50? Service was quick, nice Shady overhang while you wait, the staff was friendly, there is a tip can, for cash, because there is no way to add a tip when you pay by card! There is a lot of available parking across the street on the street ,parallel parking. The business across the street is a bank, so after hours, it's very empty. There might be parking in the lot at DQ, I'm not sure? I'm using talk to text speech to make this message please excuse any errors. I don't think I took any pictures.“

“There was a 15 minute wait to seat 3 people which was not the worst thing in the world. Out waitress Destiny was awesome and super kind when I sent my Million Dollar Medallions back for not being medium rare. The food was great, I highly recommend the mango wine slushy. Atmosphere was great as always, sat upstairs for the first time and appreciated how quiet it was. Wait time was typical for a busy restaurant.“
“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!“
“Nice bar seating area to watch games and order food. Ate brunch on a Saturday and got the classic eggs Benedict and a cup of coffee. All tasted good. I did appreciate my servers and how well staffed the place seems to be. Just once I had finished my food, I would have preferred they gotten my payment/receipt to me faster.“
“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.“
“This place is famously known as the home of the "Jucy Lucy" (or "Juicy Lucy"), a burger that has earned iconic status among locals and visitors alike. This casual eatery offers a quintessential dive bar experience with a straightforward, unpretentious vibe that focuses squarely on serving up delicious, hearty fare.The Jucy Lucy itself is the star of the menu—an ingenious burger with cheese melted inside the beef patty instead of on top, leading to a gooey core that’s both surprising and satisfying. Eating this burger is a must-try Minneapolis experience; just be cautious as the first bite can release hot, molten cheese. Matt’s rendition is often lauded for its perfect cheese-to-meat ratio and the flavorful beef patty that's seared to a crispy exterior.The setting at Matt's is typical of a traditional bar, with a cozy and somewhat nostalgic atmosphere that complements its simple yet satisfying menu. Besides their famous burger, they serve a range of classic bar foods and beverages, making it a great spot for a casual meal in a laid-back environment.Service at Matt's is friendly and efficient, with a local charm that makes everyone feel welcome. It's a great place to dive into the local culture, enjoy a piece of Minneapolis culinary history, and just have a good time with good food.“
“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!“
“Phenomenal little joint! Was at a work conference and 3 of us went here for lunch all 3 days...menu is THAT packed with interesting offerings...and it's literally 20 feet from the train stop. The armadillo eggs were the best thing any of us ate all week. The sunnies (fried SUNFISH?! ) and fries were excellent but the steak and chimichurri sandwich was absolutely stellar! The birthday cake slice in a milkshake was spot on and had REAL whipped cream all over it. Burgers were a hit too!“
“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!“
“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!“
“Amazing neighborhood hidden gem! Met the owner Javier, such an amazing man - the restaurants food was outstanding, service was outstanding! I definitely recommend the steak tacos w/avocado salsa -so good!Such friendly and nice staff- I accidentally left a small bag when leaving (there’s so much food and such huge portions couldn’t carry it all) and they literally ran out the door and all the way down the parking lot to catch me before leaving- and then they were so kind and polite about it while making sure I had everything! Completely recommend 10/10 !! If you go definitely meet the owner- you won’t be disappointed, one of the kindest and sweetest people I’ve met since moving back to Minneapolis!Our family will be back very often!“
“My dad and I came here for lunch, he got the classic gyro and I got the gyro bowl. Both were so yummy! Very generous portions and fresh ingredients, the gyro meat was delicious. I added olives to my bowl and got a side of the spicy sauce as well as the “white sauce” on the bowl. We will definitely be back to try more menu items!“
“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!!!“
“This place is great.Great food, that is fast and delicious. They have vegetarian options that have an intricate balance of flavors.The staff are all extremely helpful and welcoming.I had the ultimate sandwich and my wife had the loaded tots! Certainly recommend both!Check this place out for some awesome food and wonderful atmosphere.“
“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!“
“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.“
“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!!“
“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.“
“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'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!“
“I had to try it, and mean most places do not offer donuts with a meal -- chicken sandwiches or burgers. I ordered The PAT (a steak burger) with fries and a shake. Pretty good. You can order and pay from the counter or via your phone. Atmosphere is nothing special. I guess the only problem I had is the cost. $25 for a burger, fries and simple shake seems high, but maybe that's just the way things are these days.“
“Had never been here before, stopped in for a burger. Ordered a Smoke Jumper Burger and was hugely impressed by how good it was. The lady working at the front desk was also very friendly and her service was perfect. Very very reasonably priced for the quality of the food and experience.“
“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!!!“
“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.“
“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.“
“I enjoyed my dining experience here. There was an approximately 10 minute wait to be seated. We sat at the bar. I liked the seats because we could see the food coming out of the kitchen and the hustle and bustle of the wait staff right in front of us. My order was correct and the food was hot and tasted great. The pancakes are HUGE! Though I do not eat gluten, my date said his pancakes had a lot of blueberries and the taste was great! I gave 4 stars for atmosphere because it was noisy and music was playing overhead. If you are looking for a quiet place, this is not it. The staff was attentive and kind. I highly recommend this restaurant ?“
“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!“
“Great food and many choices. Place was full at lunchtime, but it seemed nicely quiet. Everyone was talking quietly. Good acoustics. Highly recommend.Parking: The place was full, including the bar. I found a place and my friend did too but they were the last spots.“
“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!“
“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.“
“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“
“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!“
“Holy bananas. This place is great! Food was amazing, service was great, atmosphere was awesome for us. I say for us because it was right after open and it was empty. Right up my alley. The bartenders (Jaden I believe and another sweet girl but I didn't ask her name) were knowledgeable and friendly. Beer was fresh tasting. Food wise, the jalapeños tasted like they were just sliced. So fricken fresh and spicy! We got the totchos (exactly what it sounds like and DANK) and the firehouse 21 burger. We ordered it medium, didn't come out pink but it was so damn juicy and tender I don't even care.Overall, 10 out of 10, no notes. Even the burps taste good.“
“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.“
“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“
“We just came through tonight and the guys were upbeat, friendly and soooooooo fast - with smiles for miles! Me and my wife were so impressed, and wanted to say thank you for helping create such a fun moment in this unprecedented time! God bless you and your staff! Again, thank you!“
“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 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“
“Had a great dinner at Merlin's Rest Pub Minneapolis. I had the delicious beef and mushroom stew and the wife and son had burgers. We had a scotch egg and the very delicious brussel sprouts with bacon. Had a black velvet which is Guinness and Strongbow cider. My wife had a white Russian. We got to hear some nice bagpipes playing for us. A very warm and homey British pub. Highly recommend.“
“The baked avocados app was delicious! There’s a good selection of beer. The atmosphere is open and laid back. We sat at the bar and the service was 4/5. It was around 5:30pm and they were pretty busy, so understandable. Overall, it was a great experience and we’ll definitely be back!“
“Love our neighborhood walk up Dairy Queen! Great place to sit outside with the kids and have a treat.The owner is very friendly and remembers us. I have never had a bad experience here.Lots of construction on Lake Street this summer (2023), but it's open for business and always delicious.“
“We stopped in Saturday afternoon for a late lunch. We ordered the Midwest sushi (we are new to the Midwest) I was not a fan. I ordered a spicy blueberry margarita, the drink was missing something. It was over iced, and needed a straw. We were underwhelmed. UNTIL.. our entrees arrived. wow! The walleye cakes were outstanding! The green beans were amazing! The portions were very generous! We tried to go to Marna’s but they were only serving appetizers at that time . Lucky for us! We would have missed out! What a delicious surprise!“
