    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
    Heather S.

    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.

    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!!!!

    Was in a rush, looking for a burger joint to go to around 9:30pm near burnsville. Went with this place because of the rating, but should've paid more attention to the reviews. It's a deli inside of a gas station. Once you make your order at the deli, you are given a receipt to take over to the store register to pay for, then you go back to the deli to wait for your food. They do have a lounge area for you to dine in, which looks nice. I ordered the fried chicken (2.5/5) with onion rings (4/5) on the side. The fried chicken was thoroughly cook but not evenly cooked. Some parts of the chicken was over fried, which made the meat very dry on the inside. The burger consisted of a handful of dill pickles, which was a bit more than enough and I did take some out. The onion rings was coated with a well flavored batter and deep fried well. They were probably the only high light of the meal. My son got the bacon cheese burger (2.5/5) with fries (2/5). The burger had a very sad, very thin slice of beef patty. The fries were flavorless, stale, and soggy. Not sure if it was due to the late night that the food turned out like this, but I probably wont be returning even if I was in the neighborhood.

I'm thirty if this helps give you an idea of what I'm talking about. Service was a bit slow and we were sitting for a while until our server showed up. Their menu has some Asian twists which I was excited for. They also have wood fire pizzas if you like that. I don't go to restaurants for an overpriced pizza. I go for main course entrees that I'm hoping to get a wow from. We tried the chicken wings as a starter (only thing is that it came out with the entrees). The wings had a burnt flavor with a slight Asian twang. The hot mustard dipping sauce cleared my sinuses and tasted sorta like horseradish. It didn't pair well with the wings to me. For the main courses we tried the orecchiette and the grilled whole fish. The orecchiette was boring and needed more of a sauce. The grilled fish was also boring and was just a fish without any sauce. Is this a thing? I feel like fish needs a little more something. And for $55, I'm wanting a really good fish. The main courses don't come with sides, so you order separate sides that are larger portion "to share". The smoked potato purée was weird and I don't think smokey potatoes should be a thing. Overall, we didn't like any food item we tried or the vibes.

Maybe if you guys cut the pickles (afterall, I did order them halved, not whole) you'd have realized how rotted they are yourself and I'd have received better quality. Doubtful since I've gotten other rotten ones even though they were halved. :( These puckles are more expensive then the Claussen's I buy at the store, i should be able to expect comparable quality. That used to be the case.
