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.

Heard about this place on KQRS, so made a road trip to check out the burgers…read more The place was hopping at 1pm Saturday afternoon. We sat at the bar and had great service. Tried the cheese curds and fried pickles for appetizers- came with delicious homemade ranch for dipping. Got the Rundown and Queen burger with waffle fries and tots to try the different options. I loved the Rundown burger - so refreshing for a summer burger. The tots came with cheese dip - yum! Saw another person order a Bloody Mary and had to give that a whirl. They home make the mix and make them spicy or not to order. The place is broken up into different rooms which made for a more intimate atmosphere while also being able to serve a lot of folks.

Madelyn took care of us!! Excellent food and service! We will come again soon love the Wayzata…read morelocation!

Had a nice lunch here on a Friday. They have a lunch menu $15 but ordered off regular menu…read more I really enjoyed my patty melt. Super good along with good fries. Double patty and two cheeses. 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.

The place has folks order from a QR code so being a charged cell phone or ask for assistance. I will say my burger was good but kinda mealy inside.

We left Minneapolis 29 years ago. We lived out in Chaska which is only 15 minutes from Eden Prairie…read morewhere the Lion's Tap is. 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 classic burger spot of the area. Stepping into here is like stepping into the 90s as it hasn't…read morebeen redecorated since and all the furniture is from that era too. It gives the right rustic vibe to slam some classic style burgers. I had a cheeseburger with caramelized onion and also had a California burger. The classic cheeseburger with onion was the one I'd order over and over again. It was juicy and cooked perfectly, bun was warm and soft and onion was nice and savory and sweet. Everything I was craving at the time and more. Staff were attentive and food came out lightning quick. They were all over it and had us taken care of! Will be back.

Came to Riverside for their Friday Fish Fry which is offered year round…read more This is your typical neighborhood bar, filled with locals all having a great time. There are a couple of big TVs, a pool table, and darts. The server/bartender was super friendly and kept up on drinks incredibly well considering how busy it was. The fish fry was AWESOME. The fish was super crispy with a lightly seasoned batter. Came served with crinkle fries and some of the best toast I have ever had. Only $11 - I will DEFINITELY be coming back.

Love the bright colors and high energy vibe here. With the threat of rain, we got a table inside…read morebut the patio looked lovely. Maybe a future visit. Seeing the size of the portions, we decided to split the Piri Piri Chopped Pork sandwich with Mac n cheese and beans as our sides. It was more than enough food. The sandwich was delicious. Tender pulled pork with a bit of spice on a fresh sesame seed bun. Loved the beans. A little bit of pork fat gave them a great flavor. Husband is the Mac n cheese fan and he loved that as well. My bite was super cheesy. Lots of local beers to choose from. I found a nice hoppy one to try. Love the names but I always forget them. Service was great. You order with a QR code. Food came out quickly. We did have a server visit our table to answer questions and bring us anything needed after our initial order. He was great with giving us some recommendations. The restaurant charges a flat 20% service fee (so no tipping). Parking was a bit of an adventure as there seemed to be a lot of apartment parking on the streets and the lot was pretty small but we found a spot a block-ish away. Great stop!

What a great experience! I went with a friend and we split the sampler plate, which included pulled…read morepork, ribs, pork belly, and sausage--everything was absolutely delicious. I honestly can't say a single bad thing about the food and I'm already looking forward to my next visit. From the moment we arrived, the customer service was excellent. They don't take reservations, so coming during off-peak times may be a good idea. We were promptly taken to our seats, and once settled, our server explained how to use the QR code for ordering and filled our water glasses right away. There were lots of fun drink options to choose from, and the food truly exceeded expectations. Such a great overall experience!
