    Lunch misbehavior (Southwestern burger)
    Kristofer M.

    I grew up inhaling the chocolate shakes at Snuffy's across the street from my elementary school in St Paul... that location's long since closed, but I recently took my grandma to the Bloomington spot. Just as I remembered, awesome diner vibes, shakes, and V tasty onion rings/burgers. Will be back** **Potentially not compatible with "Summer body" season haha

    My husband and I happened to come across Snuffy's Malt Shop accidentally but we're glad that we did. Snuffy's turned out to a great find. It was right next to the gas station that we were going to. We were hungry and decided to stop and get a bite to eat. This a diner-style restaurant with a menu of the basics: hamburgers, chicken, fries, and onion rings, etc. And of course desserts, since it's in the name. We ordered the hamburger, fries, and the Oreo resees malt. The burger and fries weren't flavored very well, until you add condiments and salt at the table. Then they come alive with flavor. A large malt is big enough to share, so that's what we did. The malt was big on flavor and satisfied my sweet tooth. We were happy enough with the meal that we came back a few days later to try the onion rings and brownie ice cream sundae. Again, the food did not disappoint. Our server was nice and recognized us when we made a second stop. The manager can work on his people skills a bit. We were told that we were sitting in a closed section, when the table next to us was halfway done with their meal, and we were made to move. Overall, Snuffy's Malt Shop was a good stop and I recommend it.

    So I used to go to Snuffy's in Dinkeytown when I was in college every couple of months to get my calorie overload fix and treat myself after a long round of tests or finishing up homework of some sort. Now that I'm married and have kids, I can use them as an excuse to celebrate just because we want ice cream! Snuffy's is a great ode to days gone by and the old fashioned burger and malt joints that used to be prevalent in small towns. You can almost picture the poodle skirts and roller skates! Even with a change of scenery, service is still friendly and fun. If you are looking for light on calorie options, you don't. Embrace your inner glutton and load your malt up with different mix instead (you need to get a malt, that's a must here). My favorite is a Banana Butterscotch Peanut Butter Butterfinger malt. So good. The only thing it's missing is some good bourbon :) Sizes are big and a full order can easily serve 2 people. The food here pairs great with your ice cream. I highly recommend the onion rings and fresh French fries with a side of dips (dill dip for sure). The patty melt is a great classic but the Cowboy or Plaza burger are good choices too. Don't count calories and enjoy yourself here. You'll be happy you did.

    Onion rings - family size

    The food came out cold, which was very disappointing. The onion rings were still good despite being cold. I had the BLT and it was just fine, nothing special. The malts however are amazing. Service was just ok.

    I drove by and decided to stop in for a malt. It kind of gives the feel of an old diner. I got a half size chocolate malt and it was $4.50 which seemed reasonable in price. The shake was very filling. The other person I was with ordered a strawberry shake in the large size which came to be $7.00. It was made with real fruit which was awesome. The staff member was kind and quick to help. No complaints.

    Half chocolate malt, onion rings and a bacon cheeseburger...$21???
    Russ W.

    Early afternoon lunch, place wasn't busy. Service was fine, no problems. But seriously...$21? The malt was good. The "bacon cheeseburger". C'mon, at $10.95, that's what you're going to throw down? Pre made patty was flavorless on a toasted bun with 2 extremely tiny pieces of greasy bacon sitting on sopping wet pickles. Onion rings, which are a separate side as are the fries btw, were oddly wet and soggy on the inside, not very appetizing. I'm not trying to bash the place, but I wouldn't come here again. The food quality is nowhere near the price point. It is a nice looking place though! Thanks!

    Same worker getting raw burger patties(in right hand) to put on grill behind him.

    Service: 0 Stopped in to place to go order with front counter(FC). Me: How big is the kid cheeseburger? FC: showed the size of the burger with his hands. Me: the regular cheeseburger is 1/4 lb, How many oz is the kid one? FC: IDK, (shoulder shrug with blank stare). ME: could you ask? FC: asks and comes back responding, '8 pounds'. ME: 8 pounds? FC: yes that is what the manager said. 2 $6 kid meals, $1 kid drink, 2 $4.50 1/2 malts = $32.xx: ME: that can't be right it. FC: that's what it says. ME: did you add the fries separately instead of part of the kid meal? FC: redoes it and says it's still $32.xx. Manager comes over sees that added fries separately and fixes,new total $23.xx. I ask about kid cheeseburger, manager responds, it's 1/8 pound. Food prep: 0 Man making the raw burger patties wore no gloves, picked up the cheese slices to put on the burger with bare hands, picked up lettuce and onions, with dame bare sales, never washed while I watched all this occur. Manager was leaning on the counter on his phone most of time, except when he was filling cups with ice from the ice bin using the cup(no scoop), with his bare hands. Food: 3 Hot dog: kids didn't eat, mediocre. Cheeseburger: kids ate some, tried after cooled and patty was a dense disk. Malts: both good, but no Shake shack. 3

    As a returning customer, I really enjoy their burgers, fries and a malt! Fast & friendly! A blast from the past.

    Chocolate malt...you get this glass full plus one more in the silver mixing cup as a Half order!

    I grew up going to the Snuffys Malt Shop in Roseville, but I never tried this location so I decided to check it out. The restaurant is a nice size for one person or a big group of people. They have some booths but a lot of tables that can fit larger parties as well. I had a hard time choosing what to eat since I know their burgers are very tasty but historically I always ordered the Chicken sandwich with fried chicken so I went with that since it had been a while. They also offered quite a few great classic sandwiches as well including Grilled Cheese, BLT and many others. Important to note that the sandwiches do not include a side but you can order a single order of fries, onion rings, or waffle fries and also some loaded fries I think. The prices for the sides was a good price point and so were the sandwiches. I got a single order of fries which was a nice portion as well as the 3 sauces for $3. I like sauces and couldn't decide so it was a good way to go. I also ordered a half Malt which was only $4.50 and was a really nice size. I went old school with chocolate but there are TONS of choices! The service was friendly and warm, the food came out hot and with quality ingredients. Definitely will be back to try out some other things!

    What you see is what you get here! It took a little while to get service, but once we did, we had a very nice server who took care of us. Burgers and malts were very good, but the waffle fries tasted like old oil and were too greasy for me. The prices were very reasonable and the portions sizes large. This won't be destination dining for me, but if I'm in the area, I'd stop again.

    Food excellent Service good Malts delish Ambiance was chill Overall this place was very good. Diner feel, food out quick, good buffalo sandwich, and fries were crisp.

    Thank goodness... we still have Cecil's in the Twin Cities!!!…read more The mood, the relaxed comfortable and kind staff who do not rush you to sit rush you to order. Instead EVERYONE is 100 % natural welcoming laid back and genuine in wanting to see you content and pleased. Nothing is ever pushed onto you. The quality of the pastrami, its seasoning, the textures and bright flavors of the breads and bagels the nova the chopped liver the extra creamy marinated Cole slaw and perfect half sour pickles ( wISH they had bialys!). All perfect. All old world. Our favorite very old deli in West Palm Beach was sold 1.5 years ago and gone gone gone are the DELIGHTFUL happy charming old staff and the perfect old world flavors, cooking. In Sarasota where we just lived the last 5 years, a new deli closed after just 2 years, and there is nothing left. We've been visiting family in Sarasota every year for 40 years. Gone too in the Twin Ciries is the ownership by brothers Scot and Stu of Hopkin's beloved Crossroads Deli just last year. The new owners, a corporation owning 6-8 other restaurants have CHANGED almost all the recipes for breads, cakes , wonderous cookies and 80 % of all pastries! No more butter, no more fine ingredients and no more of their once " Grossinger's taste/quality" STELLAR seeded rye bread! They even eliminated the lemon flavoring. In their incomparable lemon coconut cake! Their stuffed cabbage is one of their only true deli dishes left. Sandwiches are half their original size...... heart breaking after going there 3-4 times a week for 25 years........ Cecil's of course had to cut back on the $$ use of butter in their pastries. But they have WORKED VERY HARD to still retain their wonderous long long ago heart warming flavors. ALL their sandwiches are AUTHENTIC. Old world New York City flavors! Made with care and love. My husband loves their beautiful generous Nova salmon platte. Noshing away happily! I love their pastrami Rachel's with plentiful half sour pickles lots of Russian dressing and creamy Cole slaw. Mmmmmm. I hope and pray Cecil's owner refrains for a long long time from selling his rare business. We must support Cecil's too.... Or lose it with all the others, and lose part of our joy and heart. Thank you Cecil's .....

Old school all the way. There's a restaurant in the back, and a full-scale deli counter in the front. It is such a good stop. They have their own private parking lot too. Wood paneling, and a bunch of local reviews all over the walls. Clean, normal sound. Simple, with excellent customer service, and a huge menu that will have something that you like. Packed the midweek afternoon we visited, and we did not wait for a table. Loved my bowl of Matzo Soup, superb broth and the Matzo was delicious. Enjoyed my BLT on whole wheat and the homemade potato salad was amazing! Had a cherry cobbler for dessert that was incredible. Restaurant has been open for over 70 years, and I met the owner/manager, Cecil, afterward, and he just oozes customer service being a priority. It's a must-visit place.

    I wanted something spicy Chinese and gave this place a shot. Spoiler alert, it wasn't but I also…read morehave a pretty high tolerance, and we are in Minnesota (no shade). I ordered the Stir Fry Spicy Beef, Mapo Tofu, and the Pork Belly. Everything was tasty and have no complaints as far as the actual flavors. I do think that the Mapo Tofu should always be soft tofu rather than firm, but that's just a personal preference. The beef was plentiful and extra tender and the pork belly was perfectly melt-in-your-mouth, so good that I felt like I had to ration it throughout the next few meals. I do wish it came with more rice. I ordered three sides and only got one box of rice. I was hoping to have at least two so I can eat it for several days. However, to end on a positive note, when I walked in to pick up my order, the woman (owner possibly) was incredibly friendly and spoke Mandarin to me. She was welcoming, funny, and we briefly argued how spicy food should really be for it to be enjoyable. "The spicier the better," me thinks. Come show these guys some love!

    This is one of those low key hidden gem restaurants that serve authentic food without a doubt,…read morebecause it's not only difficult to locate, but also relatively exclusive in terms of its clientele. I enjoyed everything I have had here so far and definitely appreciated the authentic aspect of the food they have. The only improvement I could suggest was the taste of a lot of their dishes, as flavors tended to be on the mild side. It doesn't mean their food is any less authentic, though, and I would recommend all that are looking for authentic Chinese food to visit here. Individually, I ordered dishes that I would normally order in Chinese restaurants, so while I am not sure if there's anything I can necessarily recommend yet, I will say that I thought every dish I have had were above average in comparison to the same dishes I have had elsewhere. My favorite so far is the fried pork in scoop (锅包肉) and I don't even regularly eat pork. There was a nice layer of sweetness and sourness witht the sauce outside the pork pieces. The vegetable dishes like eggplant in garlic sauce (鱼香茄子), green beans with garlic (干煸四季豆), and Chinese cabbage (手撕包菜) are all tasty enough. The Chinese cabbage contained a lot of vinegar, and I bet some people would enjoy that. I didn't taste enough cumin in the cumin lamb (孜然羊肉) dish, but there was an abundant amount of lamb and I appreciated it. The spicy pepper chicken (辣子鸡) was very delicious and had the right amount of spice in my opinion. There is a Relaxing Healthy Center that's connected to the restaurant and apparently that establishment has been very popular, especially in the evenings. I have not visited there yet but I heard that it was similar to saunas in China, and I would love to visit there soon. Regardless, this is a hidden gem, hole in the wall, type of spot and I would definitely recommend everyone.
