The amount of grilled onions they add is just right and gives it that perfect sweet-savory balance. Honestly, it's better than any burger I've had at a sit-down restaurant (and I've paid $15+ for ones that don't even come close!). I also tried the eggrolls on a stick -- yes, foot-long eggrolls -- and they were amazing. Super crispy, packed with flavor, and clearly made with quality ingredients. You can really taste the care they put into everything. And don't skip the shaved ice! The flavors are bold, refreshing, and not overly sweet -- just the perfect treat to cool down with. You can tell this food is cooked with love and pride. Everything tasted fresh and homemade, not mass-produced. I'll definitely be coming back (probably more than I should ). Highly recommend! Love Mel !!

I had heard about Mr Egg Roll through a food fair group on Facebook. This food truck was in Oakdale…read morethis past weekend. After the Minnesota Wild game had ended just before 4 pm on Saturday, I drove over to this food truck to get some dinner. It was easy finding this food truck. It was parked in the Cub Foods lot closest to 10th Street North. I parked steps away and approached the truck. The woman in the food truck was nice and helpful. There was also a man helping out. Mr Egg Roll, as the name implies, specializes in egg rolls. It offers regular and jumbo ones. She let me know that the Philly cheesesteak egg rolls had sold out. However, there were still pork and chicken ones available. I went with the former. I also went jumbo because I was daring and curious to find out how large they were. I asked her whether getting two jumbo ones would be enough for dinner. She said yes. I got two. The menu also had chicken wings and boba. Ah, two items that melt my heart. I decided to get boba. She offers both fruit and milk bubble tea. I went with fruit and got the peach green tea with a mix of boba. It does run a bit steep price-wise. I paid $25 with a tip. Considering that I don't eat at food trucks much and it's a mom-and-pop business, it's worth it. She thankfully accepts credit cards. I was handed a buzzer. She let me know that it would take fifteen minutes to prepare my order. I was thrilled that I didn't have to wait outside on an unseasonably cold, windy day. I got to hibernate in my rental car. Sure enough, fifteen minutes later, the buzzer went berserk in my hand, buzzing and flashing like a mini disco dance-off. I got out of the car and headed over to fetch my food. The woman asked if I needed a bag. I said that I was okay without one. I got a plastic container with my egg rolls and my bubble tea. She advised to stir my drink up before drinking it. I thanked her and headed back to my car. I drove over to a corner of the parking lot and had my food. The pork egg rolls were awesome. It was packed full of filling. The vermicelli and veggies were mixed in with the ground pork. The filling wasn't precooked before hand. It looks like the mixture was packed firmly into a wrapper and deep-fried to perfection. The positive thing about this approach is that you don't have filling falling out of the egg roll with each bite. If you are an egg roll purist, you may dislike this approach. I thought it was cool and the filling was flavourful. The wrapper was thin and extremely crispy. It was delightful dipping the roll halves into the sauce. They were jumbo rolls and I loved them. The boba was excellent. You get a mix of tapioca balls, and coconut and strawberry jelly. The sugar was fixed, but it was perfect for me. The only downside was that there was a lot of ice at the top that I had a tough time poking the straw into my drink. Once I was able to, I was good. This food truck was a great find. I'm so glad that I stopped by to get dinner here. I'd return in a heartbeat. (66)

I've seen Hangry Joe's on several local IG reviews, so we decided to try it…read more The restaurant itself was like a fast food restaurant. You order off a screen and then wait for your food. The murals on the wall were fun. I ordered The Classic, a smaller version of the Sando. The bun was soft, the chicken was juicy and meaty and I liked the slaw and pickle to balance out the heat. The fries were basic, but the dip you get is amazing. I found the classic size sandwich to be plenty big. The downside to my visit was the bathroom. It was so dirty! Like disgusting. I actually asked a worker to clean it and he just let me use the employee bathroom.

The highlight for me was definitely the Korean chicken nuggets and the spicy soy garlic wings. The parking lot has plenty of space which I always appreciate. The staff could do a better job acknowledging people when they walk in, just a simple greeting goes a long way. Overall, I look forward to stopping in again.

My review is only for the fish fry experience, I have not tried the normal menu…read more This was such a good fish fry! The fried fish was flaky and tender. 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.

I tried the cinammon roll which was just ok. Nothing special. Probably not baked there. Definitely not fresh. The biscuits and gravy was lukewarm.

When I got home and opened the container, the food was an absolute mess. Instead of serving the chicken and fried rice side by side like virtually every other Chinese restaurant, the saucy breaded chicken was completely buried and scrambled directly into the steaming hot fried rice. Because it was submerged in hot rice, the chicken absorbed all the heat and moisture during my transit (which was not long at all), turning the breading horribly soft, mushy, and covered in stuck-on rice grains. Even worse, the rice sucked up all the sauce, leaving the chicken incredibly dry and stripped of flavor. It was basically sauceless chicken bites. Wasting $15 on a ruined meal from a new spot is frustrating. Maybe dining in is better, but given that takeout is a primary standard for Chinese food, this was an unacceptable failure. Save your money and go elsewhere.

After hearing the hype about the chicken here, I decided to give it a go for lunch! While they may…read morebe famous for their chicken, I'm here to tell you the RIBS are where it's at!! This is located in a neighborhood with a small parking lot or free parking in the neighborhood. There is a small patio and a few tables and chairs on the inside. I would plan on taking your food to go. The vibes are classic and there are a bunch of fun pictures from Minnesota history! My boys enjoyed looking at those! The service here was extremely friendly and laid back. Kind of like having family cook your meal! That's a hard vibe to find these days! The food: We got the rib and chicken dinner. The chicken was fried golden(this is pressure cooked in oil) made for a nice flavor. I wouldn't say it knocked my socks off but definitely solid pieces of chicken. I am here to rave about the ribs!! Oh my gosh!!! The bones just fell out! The meat was so tender and the BBQ had the perfect about of sweetness!! I will for sure be back for the ribs!!! The mashed potatoes were ok. Next time I would get the fries. We also had the chicken wings plain. Again, nothing over the top special. Did I mention how good those ribs were!? Haha we ended with some mini donuts which were your standard mini donut but were delicious! This place is definitely worth a try!!

Store is a bit small inside but there are outside seatings as well!

We were very surprised at how many legit Jamaican dishes they had on their menu. With a Ting and a delicious beef patty in hand, we waited for our jerk chicken sandwiches. The customer service was awesome! I loved the house cut fries! As for the sandwich, it came with American cheese which it definitely did not need, especially since it wasn't melted. And while the jerk chicken wasn't as spicy and flavor-dense as I'm used to, it was still pretty tasty. I would come back!

Overall Score: 3.5/5 Solid spot for a Chicago-style fast…read morefood fix. Messy, greasy, and flavor-forward in the way you want. Food [2.5/3] Let's talk flavor and execution. Philly Sandwich Steak - This was a well-built sandwich. The onions, peppers, steak, and cheese came together in a cohesive mix, so each bite included a little of everything rather than feeling uneven or scattered. The cheese melted into the filling nicely, acting almost like a binder that brought the flavors together. The roll looked oversized at first, but its soft, airy texture created an excellent meat-to-bread ratio. My only criticism is that the beef seemed slightly overcooked, which introduced a touch of dryness. That may vary from sandwich to sandwich, but it was noticeable here. The sandwich can feel a bit heavy bite-after-bite. Italian Beef Sandwich with The Works - "The Works" included hot peppers, dipped in broth, and American cheese. Presentation-wise, this sandwich did not make the best first impression. The pale roll and heavily soaked exterior were not especially appealing visually, and with the extra dip, this is absolutely a sandwich best eaten fresh on-site rather than taken to go. But the first bite changed everything. The jus soaked into the bread and delivered a rush of flavor, while the beef was sliced and portioned in a way that made every bite feel substantial and satisfying. The giardiniera brought welcome heat and acidity, cutting through the richness and keeping the sandwich from feeling too heavy. The American cheese stayed in the background, but that actually worked to the sandwich's advantage by allowing the broth and beef to remain the focal point. This was the standout item, and easily the reason I would return. Cheese Curd - These were lightly battered, which let the cheese take center stage. For a fast-food setting, they were quite good and better than expected. Breaded Mushrooms - These are good if you miss and crave breaded mushrooms. Biting into these, one would expect a hot oily broth to flow out adding to the mushroom flavor, but there was no broth and the mushroom flavor was light. The marinara type sauce didn't pair well, so I did get a side of ranch to dip these in. Would order these again only if I crave bread mushrooms. Service[1/1] Service was exactly what it needed to be for a fast-food restaurant: prompt, clear, and helpful. The cashier took my order efficiently, clarified the available add-ons for the Italian beef, and responded well when I asked for a water cup. When I came back for ranch, he accommodated that request without issue. It was not full-service dining, nor should it be judged as such, but it met the standard for good quick-service hospitality. Atmosphere/Ambiance[0/1] The dining area is functional but not inviting. Seating is limited to a handful of booths and a small round table, and while the tables had been cleared, they were not especially clean. Flickering menu boards added to the worn fast-food feel, and the steady presence of people coming in to use the ATM created a somewhat distracting atmosphere. It gets the job done, but ambiance is not part of the appeal here.
