Stopped in for a quick lunch after exploring the local area. There were 4 of us in the group and…read morewhen we arrived the restaurant wasn't busy and we were able to secure a table on the patio. The inside was pretty deserted apart from a few patrons sitting at the bar but overall the ambiance is nice and fresh and bright. Because I wasn't too hungry try I settle on the G.O.A.T salad with shrimp, my friend got the jerk chicken flatbread, her mom got the chicken egg rolls and we got the kid's cheese pizza for my friend's son. We didn't have to wait too long for our food and when it was brought to the table it looked good. Their choice of plates is an interesting one because the plates have specks that make you think they're dirty. The egg rolls weren't good at all and the inside wasn't fully cooked so you could take the flour in the wrap. The jerk chicken flatbread had no jerk sauce/seasoning on it. The salad was good but again the plate makes the dish appear unclean. We ended up sending the egg rolls back and they took them off our bill which was nice.

I wasn't expecting Caribbean food in the middle of Minnesota and Montego Blu did nothing to change…read morethat. Unfortunately, their menu was totally different than what they advertised online. While I understand food costs and needing a pared down menu, gone were the uniquely Jamaican dishes such as the jerk bowls and the jackfruit, etc (still on the website by the way). So what I tried was a Jamaican Banh Mi. Basically, grilled chicken with some sliced vegetables in an imitation of a Vietnamese banh mi. I really enjoyed the sauce they drizzled on and their mango Cole slaw was one of the first times I actually liked a restaurant Cole slaw. Sadly, a sandwich with a thin slice of chicken breast and some Cole slaw is not worth the $19 price tag. While the service was very good, Montego Blu doesn't stand out anymore given the lack of their Caribbean options.

I'm in town for a few weeks. I asked the woman at the front desk of the hotel "Whats the best…read moreburger in the area?" Without hesitation she said "King's Place" She was right. I went there for lunch and sat at the bar. The bartenders were very friendly and helpful. There are over 100 choices of burger combinations on the menu. The burger was delicious. I told my boss about it and now we're going there for dinner tonight. Twice in 1 day? Yup! And I'll be back before I head back home.

The Burger Monarchy: A Paradox of Plenty in Miesville In the…read morequiet, pastoral stretches outside Eagan, there exists a roadside institution that defies the modern trend of curated minimalism. King's Place in Miesville is a relic of a different era, a burger joint that functions less like a restaurant and more like a high-volume assembly line of Americana. The menu is not merely large; it is an overwhelming, multi-page manifesto of beef. With roughly 80 to 100 variations on the burger--many named in tribute to the local Miesville Mudhens baseball team--the experience begins with a bout of genuine decision paralysis. For the average diner, the sheer volume of choices feels like a dare. It is a place where you can find almost any topping imaginable, which makes the absence of a simple fried mushroom all the more jarring. It is the one note the kitchen fails to hit in an otherwise exhaustive symphony. When the food does arrive, the logistics are the primary entertainment. The floor staff at King's Place perform a nightly feat of athletic grace, weaving through the crowded, character-filled dining room while balancing five or more burger trays at a time. It is a spectacle of efficiency that puts the sterile, automated nature of modern chains to shame. However, one must navigate the side dishes with a discerning eye. While the temptation to "upgrade" is always present, the seasoned waffle fries are an investment that yields little return; they are best skipped in favor of the standard fare. The real value here lies in the core product and the refreshing lack of pretension. Despite the fame and the daunting menu, the pricing remains stubbornly reasonable, a rare feat for an establishment that has transitioned from a local secret to a regional landmark. "Life is too short to miss out on the beautiful things like a double cheeseburger." -- Channing Tatum For those seeking the predictable polish of a franchise, King's Place will be a confusing sensory overload. But for the traveler who values soul, speed, and a price point that respects the wallet, this is a kingdom worth visiting--just don't expect to find a fried mushroom on your plate.

Spouse had grilled cheese and tomato basil soup. Thought soup was a bit too spicy and grilled cheese just meh. Would recommend patty melt but would pass on grill cheese and soup. It's a handsome space and very well designed. Restrooms also very upscale and super clean. Plenty of ramp parking This is a great place and reasonably priced.

They are very nice and seem community oriented. I want to go back.

We went to the LT at least once a month and other than the smell of grilled onions and butter during an ice fishing event, nothing, nothing do I miss more than the LT. It's the best burger I've ever had before or since. Nothing comes close. It was so exciting to get your to go bag and it's just dripping with burger and fries juice. Best burgers and fries everrr. Don't sleep on the fries. Crinkle cut magic fries. I despise these modern fresh cut fries, the LT fries are traditional and perfect. I love the Lion's Tap. I miss it so much. So happy to see its still there.

The outside tables were readily available because it was a very hot and sunny day. They don't have table service so everyone has to line up to order and then they provide a buzzer to let you know when your food and drinks are ready. I enjoyed my flat bread that had sausage and ricotta on it; I really enjoy unique flavor combos on my pizza/flatbread, just wish they had hot honey! I also ordered a Moscow mule seltzer which exceeded my expectations! Usually seltzers taste off to me but this one tasted just like an actual mule!

With respect to he burger, would've appreciated IF french fries were included, even for a small premium vs order a FULL order ala carte.

I've visited this restaurant several times before for both brunch and dinner. BOTH are worth it. QUESTION for the OWNER.

We came here to see my husbands friends band play, and boy am I SO glad we did. I have nothing but…read moregood things to say. The ambiance and atmosphere here is out of this world. You get west coast mid century modern that feels cozy and hip. The band played from 3-5 which I admit I originally thought was weird. But quickly realized why. This place was created for three reasons: good food, vibes, and family fun. You look around the room and EVERYONE is having a great time. Someone's Grandpa and grandma are having a blast on the Dance floor, kids are laughing, and everyone eating and truly having a wonderful time. The food was SO SO SO good. My husband got the pastrami ribs and I wish I had taken a photo because HOT DAYUM they were fire. And the coolest part about this place is they don't accept tip. Instead there is a surcharge so all employees can have a livable wage and that's so appreciated and you can tell by the service. Everyone we encountered had a genuine smile on their face. For the owners- my husband and I weren't sure if we wanted children and have been going back and forth about it for so long... but being in a safe family environment where fun and good vibes and inclusivity is possible- it hit us like a ton of bricks. Thanks Animales. We will be sure to bring our family here for the years to come
