Great burgers. Busy, noisy, friendly local place. Portions are perfect, and so many taps! I would try here on a weekday afternoon, it can be a wait on weekends. read more

This was our first time visiting, and we had a really good experience. Service was friendly and quick, and the atmosphere was fun. Good music, fun bar and grill vibes, and good burgers. I had the Smokey the Beer Cheese Burger (really yummy beer cheese), and my son had the Great American Cheese Burger. Our group also ordered a few of the chicken sandwiches. Two orders of fries was plenty for the five of us, and I love when restaurants allow you to just get the burger and decide if you want fries. Most places serve the burgers with fries, and a lot of times it's too many fries. This way you don't have to get fries with every burger or sandwich. We aren't in Burnsville often, but I would go back if we were ever in the neighborhood again. read more

My family (myself, husband, and 3 boys) came here for lunch on a Friday. They sat us in a large booth right in the entryway. There was no kids' menu, but it wasn't a problem. 4 of us ordered burgers, and the youngest (6) had chicken strips. The burgers are well priced, and the sides are extra, which worked great for us - we all had our own main and then split an order of loaded fries. We all enjoyed our burgers - we felt that the burgers were all about the toppings, and not about the burger itself. Which we are okay with - there's a time for burgers for the meat, and a time for burgers for the toppings. :) I think we all decided that we would come back again. read more

I'm the running for the best burger in the Twin Cities? Yeah... I think so! I had the Ragin' Cajun burger with Cajun fries and I would say it was fantastic. Very flavorful and it hit the spot perfectly. I love Cajun on pretty much anything - but the combo of the grilled onions and Cajun lime sauce really took this to the next level. The Cajun fries weren't my favorite because I like a crispier fry experience, however the jalapeño ranch paired nicely with them! I wish there were more location - as Burnsville is a hike for me and I only swung by because this has been on my list for awhile and I was coming back from a coaching trip at Shattuck. Still surprised the Minneapolis one closed! I didn't get a beer today (unless the count the 1919 root beer), but holy cow is the number of taps impressive! read more

The place is nice inside but very loud. Ordered a burger and fries. Burger is reasonably priced it seemed but smaller and no fries. Only could get the burger well done. Yuck! Company policy. I could not finish it. The fries could be good but extremely salty. Maybe trying to sell more drinks. read more

Solid burger spot with a great selection of beer. Service was attentive, making sure we were taken care of throughout our visit. Vibe was chill with sports on the T.V. and able to have conversations. Will definitely be back! read more

JL Beers is a favorite of my family. We have been eating here for years. They always have great service, a very wide selection of drinks, and the food is always great. Everything is made in house and to order, and you can definitely tell when dig in. I highly recommend the potato chips (made to order of course) with buffalo and a few sides of jalapeño ranch. I typically get either the chicken tenders or the County Road 42 burger. I can't believe they don't have a perfect 5 stars haha! read more

Visited 11/15/22. Headed over right after my work day and this made for a great place to unwind after a busy day. Got there around 4:30 and it was not busy at this time. When I left around 5:45, it had picked up but there were definitely tables still open so no one had to worry about a wait. Server was attentive and checked in regularly which was greatly appreciated. I got the seasonal cider which hit the spot and was refreshing. Menus were organized well and sorted by types of beer to assist customers in deciding. I ordered the Cheeseburger (came with pickles and ketchup on it), my friend ordered the Rajun Cajun, and then we decided to split a side of parmesan garlic fries. They had run out of this seasoning but the waiter informed us super quickly and then gave us options for what we could get instead. Overall, solid experience and solid food. Made for a fun environment as well. read more

Usually the service is really good, the burgers excellent, the beer selection is very good. While most of the food was as good as it always is (with the exception of my kids chicken tenders being so salty he couldn't eat 1/2 of them, it was super hard for me to not be a "Karen" here (although I held my tongue for my kids sake). Last night was chaos. The servers were all rude and rushed! Just a bunch of rude, rushed, dudes! Oh and if you have questions about anything, don't bother asking or you will get a rude, short, uninformed, sort of, answer! Also not a single female working there. Hmmm, maybe that would help with overall care for customers.... Big Bummer! I used to like this place! With all the other burger/chicken places, be careful JlBeers or you won't make it! read more

It's been a couple of months since we went out to eat due to restaurants being closed because of the pandemic, so getting a burger and beer from JLBeers tasted even better, if that's possible. Their burgers are so good. I typically get a burger with lettuce, tomato, and grilled onions. Everything is fresh and served hot. What I love even more is their home made potato chips. They are so crisp, salty and delicious. They have a great beer selection. I prefer stouts and they typically have several I can choose from. This visit I got one of my favs, a Left Hand Milk Stout. I haven't ventured around their menu much because I like the burger and chips so much. For COVID safety measures, servers were masked. We made reservations for easy seating. Groups were separated appropriately. There were screens between booths. Lots of hand sanitizer available. Patrons were wearing masks when not eating. read more

JL Beers - Left hand milk stout - Burgers Near Me - Burnsville, Minnesota

I'm not sure how I've never reviewed this place as it's easily a staple in our household. JL Beers opened back when I was in school at UND up in Grand Forks and I had been missing since I moved down to Minneapolis. After we moved to Burnsville and saw there was a JL Beers down here we went immediately as my fiance had never had. JL Beers is an excellent place to go no matter the location (in my experience) we've always had great food and great service. Do yourself a favor and get an extra side of beer cheese dip for your burgers, chicken tenders, pretzels, etc. you will not regret it! Burgers are always cooked perfectly, along with the rotation for the monthly burger it's easy to find something you'll enjoy! They obviously have a wide variety of beers on tap but what a lot of people don't know is that they have a wide variety of non-alcoholic beverages to indulge in which I greatly appreciated when I wasn't drinking! With the stay at home order in place we of course have made a point to keep ordering from here so that we can keep supporting one of our favorite local businesses. The other day we had a craving for their Cheerwine and Root Beer float, and you know what? They totally accommodated for us so that we could not only have our burgers, pretzel and cheese dip but also the two floats without the ice cream being melted before we even got home. While it wasn't something they probably do in this situation, they were willing to go the extra mile for us and we were SO grateful for it. read more

Brought here by a dear friend and coworker. I was told it was one of the best burgers he's had. Needless to say, I can't disagree. The burger tasted great and was cooked perfectly, but those fries. Make sure you get one of the variations of seasonings...makes them taste excellent. The tap beer is also excellent. We will definitely be back. The staff was also super friendly and made our time there so much fun. It's not often you find upbeat and happy staff nowadays. read more

Burgers were a really good price but just kinda average. I got the gochujang burger but it only tasted like sweet barbeque sauce and not actually gochujang... besides that, burger was alright. Husband felt the same about his burger, it didn't really taste "Cajun" at all, just like normal burger he said. Fries were just fries. The pretzel and beer cheese dip were very good! read more

We come here somewhat regularly. The burgers are consistently fantastic! i generally go for the chips over the fries. In the past they have always been solid, but lately about 10% of the chips are soggy and undercooked. They have a great selection of beer, but on more than one occasion they have been out of the rotationals on tap. Oh, and the soft pretzels and beer cheese are awesome! read more

Major props to this establishment not only for the food, but the staff. First. Highly recommend the Humpty Dumpty Burger. Delicious 2nd. The staff is as friendly as can be. I brought my 3 Month old, solo, and he decided to wake up and share his vocal pipes. The Manager (Mike) came by, as he could see I was scrambling to find the bottle and calm my baby down. He took him off to the side room while I could get this done and all was good after that. Cant THANK him enough. For a good environment, delicious beers and food, you found the place. Thanks again! read more

Not handicap friendly!! The chicken sandwich and beer I had were delicious. My wife enjoyed her sandwich also. Prices were reasonable. My one gripe about establishment is that it is not handicap friendly. Only one and 1/2 booths with standard sitting, the rest are all high top tables and chairs, including the bar. I ended up having to stand at a high top during our meal because of my leg brace. The waitress saw my predicament, but just said if one of the 2 booths open up we could move there. We were almost finished by the time that happened. I don't know if a wheelchair bound person would find a place to eat, especially during busy times!! read more

Service was terrible, not due to being busy. Excessive hair on burger from retaliating cook. 20+ minutes to put initial drink order in. Another 10 minutes after that to put a food order in. Server did not check back in with table of six, with all six empty drinks, for 45+ minutes. 2nd drinks were requested to cook who delivered food, since server was MIA, when 1/2 the food orders were finally delivered, resulting in a terrible customer service attitude from the delivering cook [nasty look, no verbal response]. When the remaining food orders finally reached the table there was a 1"x1" grouping of what appeared to be a pubic hair looking cluster, on top of the cheese on the "Classic Burger w/cheese", along with another long-haired hairball with 15+ 8" long hairs. In communicating this experience to other employees/staff, it was shared they did not believe it and they "stand by" their employees. Gross. Other than that, they did hand out roses to mothers for Mother's Day, which was kind, so one star it is. read more

I absolutely love this place. Not only are the range of beers fun and unique, but the food is outstanding. The burgers are so delicious, my favorite being the PB&J burger, sooo good! The fries are hot and fresh, handmade in front of your eyes! And it's nice that you can choose from a handful of different flavors. I also love their coleslaw, yum! They have great service and the price is right! Great stop, I love it every time. read more

Holy beer cheese dip!! This place is amazing. So many beer selections on tap, great service because they all check on you, amazing burgers and fresh seasoned chips. I have nothing negative to say about this place. I've been here quite a few times now, and I always change it up by getting a different burger. Of all the burger places around this is hands down my favorite. They also offer a dog patio when it's nice outside, which I'm excited to know about now. read more

Stumbled upon this place on a business trip while looking for a place to grab a bite. The food is burgers, chicken, chicken tenders, fries and pretzels. The draw for this place is the beer. They have PBR to Pale Ale and Stella to Stout. They had just released two special GOT brews to celebrate the last 6 episodes of GOT. This is the only place I've been to that offers Cheerwine for a non-alcohol option. They do have wine in a can. The American Cheese burger was good and the fries were good. They do offer flights for $11. They have a backroom you can reserve for private events that seats 47. The bartenders were very friendly and the service was good. They have quite the assortment of funny T-shirts. All of the tables are high tops except for one booth by the door. I'd stop there again for a beer, burger & sports viewing. read more

This place is small and has a prominent bar that seats about 20. Most of the tables are high tops and a handful of booths. You can watch them prepare your food too as it's all open. But can be kind of annoying with the fryer alarms going off too. I've been here once before and we decided to venture in on a Sunday at noon. I hate taking up a table for 4 but they have no tables for 2 up against the wall. The place was packed before noon. I ordered the Lagunitas Brown Shugga' and the JL Burger. It comes with two patties but you can order it with one patty. I was craving the grilled onions. The food came quick and hubby was willing to do splitsies so I gave him half of my burger and he had the Co. 42 burger which had BBQ seasoning and sauce and bacon, too. We shared some blue cheeses fries which come doused in buffalo sauce and crumbled blue cheese. We asked for silverware as they are a tad on the messy side. They have a lot of variety in their tap beers. And have the current list at each table marking "tapped out" on ones no longer available. Pleased with the service and food. Good little hang out in Burnsville. read more

Pretty good food for a pretty good price. The atmosphere inside is good, old-fashioned, noisy, and a little cramped, but the servers are attentive and friendly. They're great with giving beer recommendations or making custom orders. My biggest complaint is they don't seem to be able to make fries without salt--no matter how I ask, they always come out covered in salt! Otherwise, though, it's a great place to grab a bite. I recommend their chicken tenders: there's just the right amount of seasoning and not too much breading. If you're in a hurry, try them to go! I like calling in an order and then swinging by to pick it up. It's fast with no fuss. read more

Excellent beer selection, great food, and wonderful service. The only thing that gets in the way of a 5-star perfect evening is the head-banging music blaring at deafening levels. We'd stay for a second beer but it's too painful and we can't talk. Other than that it's all good! read more

It was a Monday night, post-workout. Everyone I was with was hungry but unfortunately for them, I do this thing called "Meatless Mondays" as one of my new year resolutions. So it was kind difficult to find a place that would satisfy everyone's stomachs without compromising my resolution. Finally, we decided on JL Beers which was close to the gym and served black bean burgers. A win for everyone! JL Beers is small and narrow. One side is an open-concept kitchen where you can see your burgers being flipped along with a bar. The other side has maybe eight or so high top tables. It's all seat yourself so we found a table in front of the kitchen. Service was great! Our waitress was very attentive and checked on us frequently. We placed our orders soon after we sat down. They came out on huge platters which made the table feel cramped even though we didn't order a lot of food. I ordered the Rajun Cajun and substituted the hamburger patty for a black bean burger. It was flavorful and the cajun gave it a nice kick... but my stomach did not agree with it. Honestly, I never eat beans unless it's mixed in with something so it was probably overload and did not bode well. I also ordered a side of the parmesan garlic-seasoned fries. Sadly, they were underwhelming and not at all crispy. We left feeling full but not satisfied :| read more

A friend wanted to treat me to a Birthday dinner at her new favorite local place. I was excited to try it. My hopes sank as soon as we walked in as every table is a high top. Because I have a medical condition that affects my legs, hightops tables and chairs are impossible for me. There was one small uncomfortable booth by the door but that was already taken. I felt embarrassed and ashamed. The staff didn't care AT ALL about my obvious distress when we asked about other options for seating and made zero effort to interact with us after saying they only had hightops. We left as I tried to hide my shame and not cry and appear upbeat saying it was no big deal. But it was a horrible feeling. Surely this violates some kind of ADA standard? We ended up at Burger Jones and had a nice time after that. read more

Great little place to grab a beer and have a tasty burger. We've come here on more than one occasion tried almost all burgers and fry combinations, the favorite would definitely be the Classic Burger with American cheese and jalapenos with Cajun matchstick fries. The thought makes me hungry just writing this. Close second would be Rajun Cajun Burger and for fries Parmesan Garlic. We like the patio seating to soak up the beautiful summer days and the staff couldn't be more friendly; they are always giving us great suggestions to try and accommodate us when we bring groups with us. read more

Randomly stopped in while running errands in Burnsville. We went at an off time (around 2 p.m. on a Saturday) and their were a couple tables and people at the bar. You can tell there are a lot of regulars that come and sit at the bar. The waitress we had was super friendly, but the food was just okay. The burger was above average, and the chips were good, but some a little too soggy for my liking. Minus one star because they don't have any low-top tables (from an inclusive standpoint, not great) and when you order a soda it comes in a can (so no refills). read more
