Overall Score: 3.5/5 Solid spot for a Chicago-style fast…read morefood fix. Messy, greasy, and flavor-forward in the way you want. Food [2.5/3] Let's talk flavor and execution. Philly Sandwich Steak - This was a well-built sandwich. The onions, peppers, steak, and cheese came together in a cohesive mix, so each bite included a little of everything rather than feeling uneven or scattered. The cheese melted into the filling nicely, acting almost like a binder that brought the flavors together. The roll looked oversized at first, but its soft, airy texture created an excellent meat-to-bread ratio. My only criticism is that the beef seemed slightly overcooked, which introduced a touch of dryness. That may vary from sandwich to sandwich, but it was noticeable here. The sandwich can feel a bit heavy bite-after-bite. Italian Beef Sandwich with The Works - "The Works" included hot peppers, dipped in broth, and American cheese. Presentation-wise, this sandwich did not make the best first impression. The pale roll and heavily soaked exterior were not especially appealing visually, and with the extra dip, this is absolutely a sandwich best eaten fresh on-site rather than taken to go. But the first bite changed everything. The jus soaked into the bread and delivered a rush of flavor, while the beef was sliced and portioned in a way that made every bite feel substantial and satisfying. The giardiniera brought welcome heat and acidity, cutting through the richness and keeping the sandwich from feeling too heavy. The American cheese stayed in the background, but that actually worked to the sandwich's advantage by allowing the broth and beef to remain the focal point. This was the standout item, and easily the reason I would return. Cheese Curd - These were lightly battered, which let the cheese take center stage. For a fast-food setting, they were quite good and better than expected. Breaded Mushrooms - These are good if you miss and crave breaded mushrooms. Biting into these, one would expect a hot oily broth to flow out adding to the mushroom flavor, but there was no broth and the mushroom flavor was light. The marinara type sauce didn't pair well, so I did get a side of ranch to dip these in. Would order these again only if I crave bread mushrooms. Service[1/1] Service was exactly what it needed to be for a fast-food restaurant: prompt, clear, and helpful. The cashier took my order efficiently, clarified the available add-ons for the Italian beef, and responded well when I asked for a water cup. When I came back for ranch, he accommodated that request without issue. It was not full-service dining, nor should it be judged as such, but it met the standard for good quick-service hospitality. Atmosphere/Ambiance[0/1] The dining area is functional but not inviting. Seating is limited to a handful of booths and a small round table, and while the tables had been cleared, they were not especially clean. Flickering menu boards added to the worn fast-food feel, and the steady presence of people coming in to use the ATM created a somewhat distracting atmosphere. It gets the job done, but ambiance is not part of the appeal here.

Whether you're craving beef, brats, or a creamy milkshake, they've got you covered. It was our first time visiting -- we'd been meaning to try this place for months -- and we were lucky to have Sylvia taking our order. She works Sundays and was super nice. She gave us great recommendations and really made us feel welcome. Definitely the kind of service that makes you want to come back. I went all in on the Juicy Juicy Burger, and let me tell you -- that thing is a big boiiii. Juicy doesn't even begin to cover it. It's a monster of a meal, stacked high and full of flavor. I also split an order of fries and cheese curds, which were perfectly golden and crispy -- no skimping on portions here, either. Honestly, that one meal covered lunch and dinner that day. Next time, I'm definitely splitting the burger because it's just that massive. But hey, if you come hungry, you'll leave full and happy. Uncle Franky's delivers on diner classics with generous portions, great taste, and friendly service. Don't skip the milkshakes on your way out -- they looked amazing.

Places like this have a lot of character, and I'm always happy to support local gems that make the community unique.

THE BEST BREAKFAST IN MINNESOTA!…read more I would argue Mickeys by Willy is better than the cable car, happily serving my family for 2 decades. I LOVE this spot. The staff are all so friendly and make your food to perfection every single time. I usually get the veggie omlet and a side of hasbrowns and it is a HUGE portion! My dad always gets the Earth Special (also huge) or the American Breakfast. The inside it straight out of a old timey diner, silver everywhere. You also get to watch the cars go by or watch them cook your food (my preffered method)! This place holds such a special place in my heart, I spend every birthday breakfast here! Give it a try!

Good diner vibe - maybe not the cleanest place but a good greasy spoon…read more I've wanted to stop by this place everytime I've drive to the airport for decades and finally did. The server/cook was very welcoming and attentive - it wasn't busy but still nice. The food was solid diner food. Price was a bit more than I expected but not crazy. Like $15 a plate. Would stop for a quick bite before or after the airport. Their cinnamon rolls looked great but I didn't try.

WOWOWOW this place never disappoints, SO GOOD!…read more Today we sat on their rooftop patio, which was perfectly shaded and such a great spot to relax on a nice day. We did wait downstairs for around 10 minutes before anyone came to greet us, then told us we could just head up.. it was a bit odd. As a vegetarian, I'm constantly searching for a genuinely good veggie burger, and I truly think I've found the best one in Minneapolis here. Soo many restaurants treat vegetarian options like an afterthought, but definitely not B-52. I ordered the veggie burger on the Trashy with fried pickles and cream cheese, and it was AMAZING. Seriously one of the best burgers I've had in a long time, vegetarian or not. I also ordered an espresso martini and was pleasantly surprised by how good it was. Between the rooftop patio, creative menu, and standout vegetarian options, this place has quickly become one of our favorites. Already looking forward to coming back again when we're in the area.

The metal chairs were a bit loud to push in and out from the tables but fairly comfortable and wide to sit in. Easy to find seating on a Tuesday lat afternoon/evening. Our server was nice and let us know about the specialties of the day. We went for the $5 spicy margaritas. They were okay. Tasted a little watered down and not too spicy, which I'd say were all in all not so exciting. We had the lemon pepper chicken wings which had good flavor but felt dry. My beet salad was unimpressive. I'd even say it lacked a decent amount of beets. Where were the beets?!!? My boyfriend had the B52 burger which he really enjoyed but felt was a tad spicy from all of the jalapeño, but once he removed those from it, he was very pleased. Our service was a little slower that I would have liked. I would have ordered another drink had she came back to our table and asked us.

Our server was super nice and even gave us a discount for giving us the wrong food before we needed to mentioned it. I got the salted Carmel and brownie malt. They kinda lacked the brownie but was still good taste overall. Appetizer: Cheese curds were decent, not super strong flavor but not oily and decent portion. Side of onion rings were pretty good. Again not strong flavor but made well. Upcharge $2 (service didn't mention) Atmosphere: Kinda loud because it's a smaller restaurant and harder to hear the person across from you. Nice older classic decor and look. Been there since 1986. Unfortunately the entree food was not good... Disappointed on the California Burger. Had no flavor. The tomato was bland and soggy, the meat had no seasoning or flavor. The avocado was dull and tasteless, Only good part on it was the lettuce. My boyfriend order the turkey club but didn't get that, the server knew it was the wrong order but still brought it to us. My bf didn't want to say anything, and the server said he took something off the bill (which we thought meant took the sandwich off, but gave us $9 off the bill) Overall. It was a decent, the appetizer, and malts are nice. But I wouldn't go there for the entrees.

This was a good classic omelette - egg is well done, cooked flat like a crepe and folded. Onions were deeply caramelized, jalapeño bacon was the optimal protein (staff recommend, thanks). There was a good butter taste to the whole thing. Also, tip: ask for the homemade hot sauce Midtown is a cool spot to walk around and dine in - it feels like a bunch of open air restaurants, though of course there is no fresh air. If that Turkish restaurant is still around, that would be a good lunch option

Andy's Deluxe Burger - 3 Stars Tasted okay. Tomatoes, pickles, and lettuce tasted and looked fresh. Meat left more to be desired as far as seasoning/flavor! Fries - 2 Stars Not great. Could've been more crispy. All the salt was at the bottom of the tub. Could easily be 4 stars on a good day. Also, the ketchup tasted very weird. Almost like it had too much vinegar and not enough salt. Just off.
