    Greasy fries
    Kathleen K.

    On the advice of the counter worker, I ordered the Crispy Chicken Sandwich. It was so overcooked with black pieces from the fryer attached to the bottom. I threw it away after 2 bites. The fries were so greasy and everything tasted like onion rings - they must share the same oil. Worst restaurant I have been to in a long time. FYI - you order at the counter inside the gas station and they have a small area where you can eat your food. You pay at the gas station cashier.

    Turkey burger and fries
    Lindsay S.

    So... I was not expecting this place to be in a Shell gas station... but this is the best "gas station" food I've had!!! I went on Yelp when I was heading to Eagan. I don't go there often so I wanted to see what was new I should visit. "Grab and go" was what I was looking for. Walked in and it was super cute! They had a nice seating area if you wanted to eat in and also they had many options for food. I ordered the turkey burger with cheese. I asked for no bacon and they assured me that it was duck bacon and not pork bacon in the patty. (They couldn't make without it). It also came with fries for only $9 and some change. Great value for what you get! The burger was flavorful and juicy. It was a shock! They also had pickled shallots and an herbed aioli that tasted like Greek seasonings. It was mouth watering. Great job on the food and service. It was slower, but I only waited around 5 minutes. Quick for turkey burger and fries. You go and pay at the gas counter. I would venture back!

    Brisket! Very tender and tasty

    I wish I could give them an additional five points for this dank gas station brisket! So tender and delicious

    I'm late to the party on this one, but this is seriously top-notch smoked meats, burgers, sandwiches, and even street tacos served from inside a gas station. Are you starting to see a trend with my love for gems hidden in gas stations? And the meats are smoked daily out back in a massive smoker--no joke! Chef Mik Germanhas for sure put some TLC into the quality here and I'm sure they'll continue to sling the same great items after his departure. I went with one of their newer sandwich offerings that looked like a beast. Check it. The Franklin ~ brisket, Mac & Cheese, smoked jalapeño, and Texas bbq sauce. **I'm not kidding with y'all when I say this is some of the best low and slow brisket I've had since living near Kansas City. This sammie slaps hard as hell!

    Was flying into Minnesota to see family & since flight arrived @ 5:45am was looking for a breakfast place. Out of the 10 I bookmarked opted for this place for the reviews. Asian man was very nice & helpful & nice when ordering & even great when I went back to ask for salsa for oue burritos. Hispanic woman had an attitude & was rude. When she was calling out the order for pick up I went right up when I heard ours & said that it was mine. She looked at me kept calling out the order & I said it is mine again. Then with attitude says where's my receipt. Mind you I've watched all the other people (all men) be given their orders without a receipt being requested by her & with a smile. Would have been 4 star as the food was great but the horrible attitude & rudeness of the woman singling me out in front of other customers knocked it down 2 stars.

    Spicy chicken sandwich with tots.

    For a restaurant that is inside of a gas station this place far exceeded our expectations! We had been receiving coupons in the mail all summer for this place and finally decided to take a chance and order some take out. When we pulled up the restaurant and saw it was in a gas station we were instantly a little apprehensive, however, we still decided to press on knowing that we are generally pretty laid back people so how bad could it really be? We ordered a sandwich and a burger to go and man it went above and beyond what we were expecting. Both of our meals were full of flavor, cooked well, and at a pretty reasonable price point. We are looking forward to trying other items on the menu the next time we are in Eagan!

    What they advertised their chicken sandwich looks like.
    Seth W.

    I've had decent food in the past here, but this was comically bad. My chicken sandwich was about the size and thickness of a pringles chip. The kids had a dried out hamburger. The cheese curds were solid, and I think they have me a larger order to try and distract me from the pathetic chicken sandwich.

    Monster burger with side salad
    Joe T.

    Solid and great value. Got the monster burger with a side salad for under $10. Brisket on top of a burger with onion rings.. sign me up. Brisket had great flavor and wasn't dry, rings were crispy and they don't over due it on the bbq sauce. Def will be coming here more.

    Jalapeno stem in bahn mi come on!!

    I returned here today and ordered the Tennessee Brisket that I used to like. Attached is a photo of all the fat I needed to trim off the brisket. Where are the standards? Looks like they don't give a crap. Also son's order was supposed to be with fries but was chips. Luckily I looked inside box. Go elsewhere!!!!

    There are a lot of places to get wings and a good burger. But this is in my top 5 best burger…read morespots. Don't mess with the best. @burgerdivemn in St. Paul is where it's at. They do have another spot in the @potluckmn food area of Rosedale Mall and are connected to @the1029bar in MPLS. Our favorites here are many: Dry Rub Wings (with ranch) these are my favorite wings ever Wedge Burger House Burger Their fries are worth the upgrade. SO GOOD. (not pictured but need highlighting because they're good) Onion Burger Mushroom Swiss Chicken Burger the fried Cauliflower (has turmeric spices) Lobster rolls also are top notch There's a similar burger to their house burger that's gotten a lot of hype in St. Paul, not naming names, but the one here blows that hyped one out of the water in my opinion. It's the weekend, go get a good burger and wings. Enjoy!

Overall I enjoyed the food and the pleasant staff. I recommend this place.

    Since moving to South St. Paul last fall I've only heard great things about Inver Grove Brewing so…read moreI was excited to finally get over there to try it! We went for dinner and I was very impressed with their wide selection. I got the dill pickle chicken sandwich and thought the chicken sandwich was really crispy and I really liked their aioli with my fries. I didn't really taste the dill of the pickle spread, however, if you want the dill you can get the dill pickle pizza which one of our friends got and really enjoyed. Husband got the Bacon Patty Melt and he enjoyed it and our other friend got one of the dishes from the tacos, bowls and naan section, which we discovered you can get any of those made as those three options, which I thought was such a cool way to make the menu fit everyone. I actually didn't have any beer but I did have a couple cocktails off the spring cocktail menu and loved both. My friends really enjoyed the Lime Bubble beer and were excited they could buy some to bring back to Wisconsin. The server was the right amount of attentive, we ate inside and I like the mix of restaurant and brewery vibe they had going on. Will definitely go back.

I had the Coffee Ale, which was lovely! Subtle notes of coffee in a smooth sipper. Enjoyed the Dill Pickle Chicken Sandwich for dinner, which was a great portion, savory, and delicious. Overall, a really solid meal! Our only constructive criticism was that the Onion Soup that my partner ordered came out luke warm, which was less than desirable. If we wanted to make a fuss, we could have sent it back, but decided against that!

    Our first meal on our most recent trip to Minnesota: The Nook, promised by some as the best Juicy…read moreLucys in the Twin Cities. We walked in for a pretty late dinner, slightly past 8PM and this place was still crowded. Ten minute wait for a table, the concierge said, but there were free seats at the bar either downstairs or up. We decided to walk down to the bowling alley (a fully functioning, retro alley might I add), and order at the bar. Nook Curds ($13.75) - It's a big basket of battered and fried cheese curds. There's bacon mixed in the batter, giving that smoky and salty, meaty element, and then drizzled honey for some very complementary sweetness. The batter is lightly crisp and the cheese curds inside are completely softened, to the point of being gooey and stretchy. Definitely no squeak here, but these were so delicious that I didn't particularly care. (5/5) Juicy Nookie Burger ($15.95) - Now that's a burger. Huge patty, completely filled with a large pocket of hot, melty, gooey, stretchy American cheese that gushes out while biting through the patty. It's decadent and rich, and that patty - charred so well, giving a robustly smoky charred flavor along with a strong natural beefiness, a result of the patty only being cooked until medium pink. Somehow even with so much cheese stuffed inside, it doesn't leak out at all. It's a pretty simple burger, with just that patty, three pickle rounds on the side, and a bun. The bun is buttered and barely toasted, just enough to give a hint of toastiness and hold up to the massive patty. It cradles the beef like a baby and sucks up all the patty juices and cheese. The burger comes with fresh homemade fries, fried heavily until dark brown, making them similar in both look and taste to my secret craving for Better Made Rainbow Chips, which has a heavily caramelized almost slightly burnt flavor. And yet somehow they aren't over fried in terms of texture. The outside isn't super crisp like commercial battered fries, instead the clear homemade nature leaves some softer areas interspersed with the crunch. The insides, of course, are still perfectly fluffy, and there are little crumbs spread out all along the bottom for an extra crunch. These fries are the height of deliciousness. (5/5) Yes, I've been missing this kind of fatty, unctuous, filling, greasy, rich food after moving away from the Midwest to Seattle. You simply can't get this kind of food anywhere in the PNW. What a great start to our week long trip! Note: The Nook charges a 3% credit card fee that's disclosed on the menu Bathrooms - Larger ones on the bottom floor, probably more upstairs Food: [5/5] Service: [ ] Other: [ ] Final Rating: 5/5

    This had been on our bucket list for a while - glad we finally went!…read more It was PACKED on a Friday night, with quite a wait for a table, but we decided to go play score-your-own bowling on the ancient lanes downstairs while we waited. If you don't wanna wait, you can sit at the bar downstairs - or even put an order in at the bar and eat at the lanes. We ended up getting seated in the basement, which I highly recommend! The food was classic - great wings, great fries, great ranch, and awesome Jucy Lucy burgers. The ambiance here is top notch, especially in the basement. Very solid bar food, and though service is stretched a bit thin still a great experience. Bring cash for a soft serve cone after!!
