Quite honestly, there are very, very few places that serve a good roast beef sandwich in the North…read moreStar State. Granted, I grew up elsewhere, so my tastes were forged differently than most Minnesotans, but I have persisted on my quest for great RARE and thinly sliced roast beef for the last 40 plus years. In my opinion, only two places qualify as great: Wally's Roast Beef in Bloomington and Maverick's Real Roast Beef in Roseville. Morts in Golden Valley used to be good, but then it went downhill and closed in 2023. Wally's is a funny, little place. First of all, it's located inside the Southtown Office Park Building. Go to the back (south) side of the building, go inside the door and it's immediately on the right. It's only open for lunch and it's closed on Saturdays. You will find it off of 494 on Penn Avenue. Wally's does that 1950's vibe and they specialize not only in Roast Beef, but also ham, turkey and a variety of soups. They also have daily specials as well as Blue plate, Red plate, and Green plate specials. One is meat loaf, one is roast beef, and one is turkey. They explain which is which on their website, but not on their restaurant board, which is insane, but is one of their quirks. Most importantly, the food tastes home-made, is excellent in terms of quality and taste and the prices are reasonable. C'mon, what more do you want? They have good milkshakes and tasty fries too. I think this place is a gem and I highly recommend it.

The French dip was good too, especially with that horseradish sauce- that will clear your sinuses up! Not the weak stuff. Ambiance was charming as always (like going back in time) and the guy behind the counter was great- responsive, fast, charismatic, and gave special attention to my mother in law which made it even better.

Tables are small - really for two ppl and 3 max. But you can put some together if needed. Lots of to go orders on a Friday night. You order at the cashier, and they call your number when they take your order out. We got the King Rice Bowl, Chicken Shawarma, Gyro Cheese Fries and Gyro Plate. Portions are huge! The rice entrees are easily for 3 people. The wraps at least 2 hungry people. Orders take 15-20 minutes to prepare which they tell you up front. We got the Banana Pudding tres leches & Biscoff-Oreo tres leches to go. The base tres leches cake & cream frosting is really good. The banana pudding was ok but doesn't use real bananas. The strawberry one would probably be really good. We will be back!

It seems very, very likely that you will enjoy what you order here. Based on other Yelp reviews I…read morewas persuaded to get the Mac & Cheese Chicken Shawarma Wrap. The bad news is that it was too much filling for me to wrangle without rendering me unpresentable, but the good news is that it tasted GREAT. Super flavorful! Would definitely recommend. Came with fries and a drink for a very reasonable price, and those fries were delicious also; super crispy and flavorful with no need for dip. Lots of napkins needed for that wrap though. Looking around at what other people were eating has me convinced that they have a lot of good food. I saw someone eating one of the rice dishes that looked amazing, and the employee was excited to tell me all the other specialties that they are very proud of. They source a lot of their ingredients from Egypt, and they credit themselves with the creation of the Dubai Chocolate Milkshake which I regret not trying this time. You should come hungry because the portion sizes are ample and you'll want to consume them in their entirety.

Flameburger is the quintessential "dive"…read more So, about 20 years ago my wife and I were out on Thanksgiving and we decided we were hungry. It was Thanksgiving so nothing was open. We saw that FlameBurger was open so we stopped in. It was TERRIBLE. It was so bad that we did not give it a second chance. Fast forward to Christmas 2025...we were out and decided we wanted something to eat...and the only thing open was FlameBurger...we were hesitant...but we decided to give it a try. WOW!!! That's all I can say...what had been a dingy, dirty mess was now a well-lit, clean and vibrant diner. So far, so good...then came the food...it was amazing, hot, fresh and tasty. FlameBurger became an instant favorite...which brings us to our last visit...on Saturday. I ordered The Ranch Breakfast: 2 eggs, ham, 4 pancakes and toast...and the pancakes are not the silver dollar pancakes you get at most places...these fluffy pieces of art bring you back to the days of yesterday when restaurants took pride in their pancakes. If you want a fun, quaint place to get a bite, go to FlameBurger in Little Canada, you won't be disappointed.

(Probably good cuz you gotta work off the calories from those malts...) I actually saw this place advertised on a road sign for eateries to expect on the next exit. Usually those get covered in all the food chains like Taco Bell and junk, so my interest was piqued and I announced my enthusiasm to my hubbie that we try it. DELICIOUS. We arrived on a lovely sunny spring day, so we chose to dine outside on their patio area. The inside had a fun retro cafe aesthetic that I'm sure we'll enjoy during the cooler months at some point too. The staff was incredibly friendly and in a good mood, which added to my own happiness upon arrival. We were seated and given menus to study, and I do mean I had to thoroughly study it. Picking out what I wanted was TOUGH. Everything looked mouth-wateringly good, but I finally settled on the patty melt on the marbled rye with the waffle fries. Excellent choice, and it was so humongous of a portion that I ended up taking half home and reheating it in my air fryer another day. Love that! Hubbie and I shared a large chocolate malt, which they gave us two glasses to pour into. It was also delicious. All the prices seemed pretty reasonable, especially for nowadays the way the economy is. IYKYK. We're already planning the next time we'll be back! Yummy yummy in my tummy!

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!

It was a nice little dive bar and it was not that busy at 6:30 pm on a Friday night. My server was really outgoing even though she said it was a busy night.

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

The Mac and cheese was delicious, and the potatoes had a great flavor. Be warned that the initial line is super long and can stretch to outside, but then it is much quicker after you get through the first line. The servers were all super nice and the place had a great, welcoming atmosphere. I also appreciated that they let girl scouts sell cookies inside the restaurant! Will definitely have to come back for their other menu items.

I would literally shut down for a weekend and higher better servers or just train everyone so much more... It took a straight hour I mean a full hour to get a fried chicken sandwich and a burger with some cheese curds-that is crazy guys. Our server just seemed really uncomfortable and out of sorts. It felt super awkward. The old place was so much better!! I understand wanting a bigger location and I was excited because I'm in Hastings a lot and yes, you did need more space but we literally compromised service for space and that's not sustainable in a restaurant. I really hope this gets fixed because this place was a gem! My husband and I loved it. We would go all the time and get burgers and fried chicken sandwiches for like the last three years. I was excited over being in a bigger location, but yeah, the service was so awful and the food took so incredibly long that it just put a huge cloud over the whole experience. Also my loaded fries--the cheese wasn't even melted. Like, how could you even send that over to the table? I hope you guys do a lot more training and get people up to speed. There's no way I could come back after what I just experienced maybe in a few more months when people are more trained that was super frustrating. I also feel sorry for all the veterans and good old boys that used to go there every day. The old place had a way better vibe to it. This feels chaotic like people are confused. You have a whole bunch of staff that don't know what they're doing now and it's super noticeable. Fried chicken was delicious as always, but boy did I pay for it. Honestly, the wait time was just the worst part. That's my main complaint a full and I mean I'm not exaggerating here--an entire hour for one burger and one fried chicken sandwich that's insane and they didn't even offer to take anything off when it was all over. $90 for this experience and it was really frustrating. It was sad to us too because this used to be one of our favorite spots. Super bummed.
