Hand-battered cheese curds are gooey and delicious. House made fries with their seasoning and chipotle ranch is a must. Killer happy hour . Smoky BBQ wings were rather tame. Still, very awesome

Food Network

Go for greatness and get Guy's Big Bite Burger . It's stuffed with pepper Jack cheese and topped with bacon , roast beef and cheddar . Read more

A few different varieties of "Juicy Lucy 's", I got the Paul Molitor and it was great, fries are awesome too. I wouldn't put the Juicy Lucy above Matt's but definitely better than 5-8.

The juicy nookie is the best burger . As good as the Matt's Bar version, only with a better atmosphere around you. It's only cooked to medium though, so don't order it if that isn't ok with you.

Jucy Lucy's upstairs. Bowling downstairs. Make a reservation for some bowling or be prepared to wait in line on the weekends. Oh and the beer list is top notch.

Take it from an Iowan...Hands down one of the best burger joints in the Midwest!! A must have when I am in the Twin Cities .

Heavy Table

Try the Lodge Burger with smokey cheddar cheese , bacon , lettuce, tomato , and chipotle mayonnaise or either of the cheese-stuffed, juicy-lucy-style burgers , the Juicy Nookie or the Paul Molitor . Read more

Another great Matt Birk burger ! Always a highlight of any business trip to MSP. The fries are outstanding also! Taryn is a great bartender/ waitress !

Travel + Leisure

The Juicy Lucy is Minnesota’s great contribution to burger culture: a cheeseburger with the cheese cooked inside the patty. Read more

Leon Van Eck

The Lodge Burger with cheddar , smokey bacon and chipotle mayo is a winner, perfectly complemented with some fresh and tangy coleslaw .

Jason Menke

Worth the 4 hour drive from Des Moines for a Juicy Nookie . The Paul Molitor is my fave, but only because I haven't tried them all yet! Fries are to die for!

City Pages

Casper & Runyon's Nook offers one of the best Jucy burgers (here it's called the Jucy Nookie) around. Read more

Best Burger - If people will stand in line waiting for a burger at most hours of the day and are willing to eat said burger in the basement bowling alley , you gotta think it’s worth it. Read more

Melissa Jansky

Delicious "Lodge " Burger . Give the honey bacon cheese curds a try. Sounds weird but oh so delicious!

Travel + Leisure

In St. Paul, we’re partial to this burger joint , thanks to its hamburger buns from the bakery next door and extra-gooey patties. Read more

Why would you go and order anything other than a stuffed burger ? The Juicy Nookie is the classic order. [Eater 38 Member] Read more

Brad

Finally checked this place off the list. The Jucy Lucy's were delish, but the hand cut , crispy fries also deserve a shout out.

Joseph Dembner

I've eaten a lot of hamburgers and this is by far the best burger I've ever had in my life. Classic. Get the cheeseburger .

Shoma C

The firehouse burger was pretty damn delicious. The fries were also amazing! Try not to sit in the basement , the service was def slow, it took almost 20 min for my friend just to get a milkshake .

George Harnish

The deep fried smell as you approach the building will draw you in. The ground cow stuffed in its mothers own curdled milk will keep you coming back.

Daniel Hoeffel

The lodge burger is fantastic, but every burger on the menu is absolutely phenomenal. Best burger you will ever have

Tim Ngo

Best jucy lucy I've had. I will be going back. Order a Hamms beer with it as well

Michelle

"Paul Molitor " - Juicy Lucy with pepper jack cheese . Do it.

Christie S

Love the juicy Lucy 's. Perfect local bar with their monthly beers and specials. Can't go wrong for pub food and beer !

Allyson Miller

The Nookie burgers are super delicious !! Smaller than I imagined, but still tasty.

Tasteful Traveler

Juicy Nookie is great, waffle fries are thick and meaty. Head downstairs to the bsmt bowling alley for less noise than main level.

Jane Holm

One of our favorite places on the planet! The cheese curds , the burgers , the staff - can't say enough great things about it all!

Haeyoon Chang

I've waited at least half an hour every time I've gone but it's always worth it. Their $1 burger nights on Mondays are amazing; the burger isn't tiny, it's just flatter. Add $1 fries !

Cody Johnson

The Nook and Blue Door pub have the best burgers in St Paul. It's like a better version of the burger joint turf war between Matt's Bar and the 5-8 Club in MPLS. So try the Lodge Burger or their Juicy

Kevin Haaker

Excellent burgers and fries , and a variety of local beers . The cheese curds were great too.

Sweet potato fries and the Minnesota Wild dry rub on the wings ????????????

Matt Swiontek

Amazing burgers . Eat two ultimate burgers and you get a t-shirt.

Kamran Ayub

Their boneless wings are excellent, better than B-dubs. Get the MN Wild Wings , it's a dry rub that has excellent flavor!

Channing Womack

Food is great here, but Shamrocks has the same menu - run by the same establishment - served in a space with far more seating. Why wait +1hr for a Paul Molitor when you can get the same 2mi away?

Nicholas Kolnik

The Lodge Burger is a winner. Love the smoked cheddar .

Alex May

One of the best spots to hang out on a weekend. Burgers , bowling , beer !

John K

Max Birk burger with fried onions to go before I head out of town and back home! Still my go to spot when in MSP!

Priscilla Grace

The best sweet potato fries I ever had!!! I highly recommend you get these instead of their regular fries .

Kristopher Sipe

Yum! Can't wait to go back! I wish they had a full liquor license, those burgers would go great with a bloody buddy!

Whitney Shields

Found this place by accident.. So happy we did! The patty melt was the best I've ever had! Friend had chicken tenders , also delicious!!

Brian Unverzagt

Paul Molitor is the way to go Jucy Lucy with pepper Jack boom...

Shoma C

I love their Spanish Fly burger and Thai wings ... So delicious! A real gem of a place.

Carrie Helgerson

Waffle Fries with their seasoned sour cream are a must have with your burger !

John K

Wings this time.....Buffalo sauce really good. MN Wild dry rub was very tasty too!

John Schuster

Get the "Molitor Lodge style." It begins and ends there. The cheese curds rule as well .

Natalya Goncharova

Their monthly(April) special Hommer Simson burger was absolutely amazing!Was worth the trip.

Kristen Moran

It's a tiny place, but they have the best Juicy Lucy ever. My favorite place to get a burger .
