My wife's entire family is from the Rochester area so we make the trip once or twice a year. During our last trip, we couldn't make a decision and her grandpa was craving onion rings and beer so off to Newt's we went. We started with, what else? Onion rings and beer. The onion rings, despite their size, are a little on the pricey size, but didn't disappoint. Rarely able to get delicious Midwest beer, I opted for a Surly Furious. They have a pretty solid craft beer offering with Surly, Summit, Odell, Lagunitas, Oskar Blues and a few other standouts. First, let me preface that I had *just* had a burger the day before *and* I have the fortunate pleasure of living in a massive city that features some of the best burgers around. Period. For whatever reason, despite being known for their burgers, one didn't sound good to me. So I ordered the Reuben, even though my waitress kindly pointed me elsewhere (chicken strips or fish tacos she said) since I wasn't feeling like a burger. The Reuben was okay, but nothing to write home about. Meanwhile, I watched my wife dominate Dave's burger much to my taste bud's regret. Needless to say, I'm looking forward to coming back when I'm craving a burger and taking the Juicy Lucy, Marvin's Burger or Dave's Burger out for a spin. [OVERALL]: Good service (despite the fact that she had a lot of spread out tables), delicious onion rings and burgers, and reasonably priced craft beer. Pass on Reuben despite it being "Newt's Favorite." Oh, and last of all, we went early (4:45pm-ish) and it was crowded and parking wasn't (yet) a mess, but I could see how that lot could be tricky to navigate during peak times. read more

The Ink Linguistics team just enjoyed an early dinner at North Newt's and it was delectable, scrumptious and down right tasty. The classic rock was blaring and the staff was singing along all while serving up juicy burgers and crispy fries. Our favorite burger is the Gustavo burger sans French fries. Instead get some of the crazy potato ball things filled with cheese and bacon. read more

This was the first place my boyfriend & I stopped at after getting off the plane for his cousin's wedding. She had recommended it for all the traveling guests & we were pleased! Our server was super friendly & brought us a bowl of popcorn while we looked over the menu. They have awesome daily drink specials & that day happened to be $2 miller lites. The burger list is unique & super hard to choose from. My boyfriend went with the Marvin Burger & loved it. I went with the Smoky Ranch Burger & we both opted for the side salad with their "famous" blue cheese dressing. Everything was just fantastic. The buns, meat, & toppings were fresh & plentiful. We brought his brother & his girlfriend to the one downtown the next night, but this one was the better location/food (even though it's the same menu) than the downtown location. read more

This new location feels overcrowded, and lacks the cozy, personalized feel of the original downtown. That said, the burgers are just as good. My medium rare order came perfectly pink and juicy. I opted to try the "Peanut butter, cheese & bacon" - not something I'd do again, but for some reason, it does work. Mashed potato "poppers' were surprisingly good, and the portion size was massive. I think though, I'll go back downtown when I return to Rochester again - It's just not the same experience here. read more

Great burgers spectacular nachos (share with a friend). Plenty of beers on tap. The service is the best in town. read more

Newt's North - Kids @ Newts North - Burgers Near Me - Rochester, Minnesota

I was recommended this place for burgers and the burgers are good and the service is decent. The burgers are tasty but not exactly wow factor. A bit on the sloppy side and the bun definitely needs improvement. Very cheap bun relative what you get even at places like Burger King. I think the burgers are too expensive for what you get. Otherwise I'd give more stars. read more

It has been a while since I have gone to Newts and I thought I would go and enjoy a nice burger with my family. The thing is, is that the quality and service has gone down significantly from the last time I have been to the north location. read more

I freakin' love their fried pickles. But I can't eat here because of the dead animal heads on the wall. It's just a little dark, eating meat, while the head of an animal stares at you. But hey if that's what you're into. read more

I grew up in Roch, but haven't been to Newts in around a decade. Happened to be in town last week and noticed the new one, well outside the grasp of the clinic and downtown parking debacles. Seems like a win! Didn't have a burger, just drinks and appetizers. Service was prompt and we managed to hit happy hour, so my excellent pint of Deschutes Porter was only 3.50. I celebrated that by having another. :) Our chicken quesadillas were large and accompanied by guac, salsa and sour cream. More importantly, they were cheesy and smoky, really quite tasty. I need to get back there for a burger. Just don't tell my mom, she thinks I go to Roch to see her. read more

I've lived in Rochester for over 25 years and this used to be my go to place for nachos. Unfortunately, they've priced themselves out of the market. $14.95 for nachos in Rochester? $16.95 with meat? That's NYC prices, not RST prices. And $8.25 for a Bell's? Shouldn't have to spend over $40 for nachos and two beers (with tax/tip). I can only afford to eat here again if I win the lottery. read more

Someone at baseball game said Newts was good. Stopped here with à friend after baseball and shopping. A 4/5 star as it took 10 minutes for server to take our order. Burgers are their specialty and are 1/2 # burgers. I ordered à Juicy Lucy with Fries Abd a beer. The burger was huge and server stated to stab it with à knife. I ate Fries first so I didnt burn my mouth with melted cheese. I ate half of it and brought back to hotel. This is whats weird, the juicy Lucy tasted better microwaved the next morning. Is it the spaghetti or lasagne phenomenon? Maybe the flavor of the cheese and beef sealed better or I was hung over but it was better the 2nd day. The lucy was $9.99 but huge. The Decor was dated beer bottle wall paper borders and weird lamps make up their logo. Will return if in area again. read more

Very nice place to eat. Very calm pleasant place to have dinner. the food presentation was good and delicious. Well worth the stop.

Entrees and appetizers all had big portions. Wings were delicious. The Marvin burger was juicy but lacked flavor (seasoning). Overall it wasn't bad, speed of service was decent since the place was packed on a Sunday afternoon. read more

Wow, Newts with no stairs. Alright! Same great burgers, new bat channel. read more

EXCELLENT service, amazing Todd's burger. Cool food joint... fair prices. SKIP the restaurant chains... local done right.

My second visit the first was breakfast. 3 pancakes, 2 eggs, some bacon and hash browns. It was a tasty breakfast and a filling breakfast. But Newt's is known for burgers so a return visit was a must and when i did return for a Newt I was tempted to go with the Fatty Melt but with all the medical stuff going on with my lovely bride and having had a trip to ER (praise God false alarm) I being cautious so went with the Marvin, basically a bacon/cheese. Though it wasn't the temptation burger it was satisfying. Juicy on a fresh roll. Could have been a tad thicker but my blood pump repair man was tense enough and why ruin his Sunday with a page. The service was good. The ambiance was nice. It was more modern for my preferred dark and old rugged wood bar but those bar burger joints have pretty much faded from the landscape with the TV very 5' and bright blonde wood stuff, but Newt's did it well and comfortable. There are no Newt's in my home stomping ground but if it were I'd be a big fan. read more

The burgers and fries are the best in town! The service is always great too! The Marvin burger is my personal favorite.

Ordered through door dash tonight and food was outstanding and quick. Hamburgers cooked perfectly. Definitely will order again.

Love the burgers here as well as the onion rings. Large variety on the menu, so something for everybody.

Pretty darn good! Cool, laid back kind of place. Sports on tv. They serve freshly popped popcorn to snack on when you are seated. I Thad the bacon cheeseburger and could only finish half. It was really good, just too much for me =) My husband had their works burger and he really liked it. He was overstuffed when we walked out the door and joked that he needed to take a little nap before we got on the road, lol. Everyone we encountered was super friendly. Helpful and accommodating. Definitely a place we would go back to for a good burger. read more

We've tried Newt's several times over the years. To be honest, not a big fan. Don't see what all the hype is about. Soggy onion rings. Wings cooked to within a inch of their lives. Very dry. I can make better wings than they can, so I think I will. read more

Good place Service slow Fish sandwich not well designed- bun bigger than fish, lettuce flopping around, tomatoes sliding around due to oversized bun. Need to down size the bun to make fish portion fit and look " not lost". Fries not hot, not crispy read more

We are in town like many visiting for the Mayo Clinic. So far this has been the best place we have went to eat. I ordered the chicken sandwich - don't recall the name. It had honey mustard and bacon! It was amazing from the bun to the correct amount of honey mustard. I ordered a side onion rings which are made in a beer batter. Everyone finished their plates. They had a long list of beers to choose from too. Even shiner (Texas girl) here. I don't believe you will disappointed with this place. read more

Our favorite place to go, hands down. Wonderful service who are attentive but not super annoying. Delish burgers and fries too. We like to get the Marvin and Smoky Ranch burger and split them. We will always be coming back. One day I hope they will put Bud Light on tap! read more

Decided to treat ourselves after a frustrating day, called in order for pickup. No beverages available with take out so had to drive through nearby McDonalds for that. Ordered onion rings, Todd's burger and Marvin's burger with side salad Got food, drove to McD for beverages, pulled over to eat. No fork for salad. No napkins. Onion rings so greasy as to be inedible. Marvin butger very good but Todd butger overcooked and dry. In short, since you have to go through McD anyway, just skip Newts. read more

Still love this place! Just a few disappointments. The breakfast. Pancakes are awesome, but I Hate their eggs- always cooked wrong. And a few times they didn't have some of the tap beers available that were listed on the menu. And their tap beer selection is very limited. But I love the burgers and the potato poppers! So I will persevere! read more

I've enjoyed Newt's on multiple occasions and have always been more than happy with the food. The burgers really are great, and I've had a different one on each of my five visits - one downtown and four at the Frontage Rd location. The fries are very good as well and an appetizer order of onion rings is a meal all by itself. It's doubtful you'll ever leave hungry. The service can be hit or miss, which is the only reason I only gave four stars, but if you're out for a good burger this is the place to go in Rochester. read more

Stopped in here on our way through town and what a great burger they have. The bun was light and the perfect hamburger bun for this half pound goodness. I had the egg burger with bacon and cheese and fries. It was perfectly medium cooked. This place was so busy when we left we could barely get out the front door so go early if you want to get in with no waiting. read more

Upon arrival, we were told that the wait would be thirty minutes. After checking with my party, we decided to wait. Due to the lack of seating for those waiting to be seated at a table, our party of four worked two move as close to a corner near the door. After about five minutes of having to shift positions due to those running orders out the door, one of the hostesses asked our party to wait in the outer entryway of the restaurant. After telling them that it was cold outside - the real feel being a -22 degrees - we were told that it was a request from a manager. As our party moved to this frigid outer entryway, parties continued to come in and out. However every party entering after us were allowed to stand within the building despite not wearing a mask. After about ten minutes, we decided to try another restaurant. read more

Not all its cracked up to be!! Ordered the Juicy Lucy and fries to go. Took 1 bite of the burger and what little cheese was in there squirted onto my jacket. Very minimal amount of cheese. Bun was not fresh either. Fries were soggy. read more

We love Newts. They have the take-out thing perfected. The food is always piping hot and delicious. Yesterday we ordered the Garden Salad, Crispy Chicken Sandwich and Coleslaw. It was delicious. I wish I had taken a picture if the salad - it was huge and loaded with all the good stuff. read more

Service was great- burger was ok- not $12 great! it was juicy but lacked seasoning- didn't care for the bun- the cheese curds were great- huge portion- we only ate half... $9 the appetizer was $2 less than my Burger- read more

The works burger and cheese curds are a perfect match. This is my goto place when me and the gf just want a burger and happiness.

If you like cold food and a side of Covid-19 on your carry-out order, then Newts is the place for you. Ordered four meals on a Saturday evening using their web order form. Watched the app from the parking lot across the street to make sure our order was ready. Arrived Newts to find a packed parking lot and a mob of people, wearing masks by their chins, standing should to shoulder in the entry. Fighting through them, we enter the restaurant in which every both is filled (so much for 50% capacity) and no one at the front desk. It takes over 10 minutes before we get someone's attention, and she only points at someone else who can help us. By the time we get the food, easily 20 minutes had passed, along with all warmth from the food they left sitting in a bag on the bar. If I could give zero stars I would. read more

Just stopped for a burger and a beer with my wife as we were headed back to the Cities. Totally pleased with our entire experience! Ashley C. started taking good care of us even before we sat down! Service was fast but not rushed. I had the "Marv's Burger with onion rings, and my wife had the Rueben with fries. My wife, who is a Rueben Connoisseur, said her Rueben was Fabulous, as was my burger and Rings. Definitely would not hesitate to come back, and can only hope we have someone as friendly and efficient as Ashley to be our server! read more

Burgers are phenomenal but if you want condiments you have to ask unless you get the works burger. The works burger is a masterpiece! Fries are so so but the onion rings and cheese curds are very good. Nachos, either regular or buffalo are delicious. This is a burger place but the fish and chicken sandwich's are great. The ketchup, ranch and honey mustard sauces are the bomb. Yes I said ketchup! Try it, it beats Heinz! read more

Best burgers in town! The go-to is Marvin's Burger so get that one when you go! DO NOT leave without the cheese curds and DO NOT forget to upgrade to fried pickles!!! They come with homemade buttermilk ranch dressing that is TO DIE FOR. Don't forget, Saturday's and Sundays they have the best breakfast EVER! Pancakes, breakfast nachos, eggs, skillets, omelets, French toast...I can't say enough good things about Newts North! Be sure to try their bloody mary's too. They recently upgraded to Uncle John's mix (local guy btw!!!) so they're even better than they were before. read more

Awesome food! I got the Gustavo burger and it's probably the best burger I've ever had! Husband got the Ruben sandwich and loved it! Great atmosphere, popcorn was a fun thing to munch on while waiting! Will be back. read more

Seriously the best burger place in Rochester, MN. Marvin's burger is one to try if you are new to this establishment. Parking is a hot mess so arrive early or plan a late dinner. There is parking on the North side of the building and stairs to get to the front entrance. read more

Anytime we are craving a burger, the first place we think of is Newt's. We aren't from the Rochester area and were given recommendations to try Newt's. Now we give those recommendations to out of town visitors. My wife's mom always asks if we can send her a burger from Newt's. The staff has always been friendly, and even on the most busy night we visited, our wait was very reasonable. We love this place! read more
