Wagner's driving is very excellent food . The driving is nice for a summer dinner or relaxing with the family without the cooking or grilling. read more

Wagners has been around since 1971, but opened it's Brooklyn Park location in 1988. From the looks of it, you would think it has been there from the 1950's because it is an authentic drive-in restaurant. That means there are little speakers next to each parking stall from which you order (the menu is near the speaker) and they will bring the food to your car. They used to bring the food to you on a tray, but now it is bagged up for you to either enjoy in your car or to take home. Other options are to sit at one of about half a dozen picnic tables, or there is seating inside the restaurant. Frankly, Wagners was getting a bit run-down, but they have spruced up the place in the last couple of year, with a well-deserved paint job, new speakers, and new picnic tables. They even have hand held credit card readers, which saves the waitstaff from making extra trips to process your card. The menu has all of the classics you would want, from a variety of tasty, juicy hamburgers, hot and cold sandwiches, meals that include fries, coleslaw, and toast. Their French fries are crinkle cut and excellent: crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The onion rings are good and you can have Chile in a bowl or on your hamburger or hotdog. There are milkshakes, desserts, kids' meals and smoothies. I've eaten here for years and the food is always reliably great, the service is always friendly and the prices are very reasonable. Take your kids here, take your grandkids here, go here for a date, or just go yourself. It's a fun and tasty time! read more

I still and will always love Wagners. Still the best. But the last 2 times we've been there, the staff confused our order. 1st visit we ordered 1 shrimp dinner but we received chicken strips dinner. That time we didn't complain and accepted it. Recently we ordered 2 shrimp dinners and received 2 chicken strips dinners. This time after asking for the correct dinners the gal suggested we say it in a different way. Shrimp dinner special. How do you confuse 2 words shrimp dinner to 3 words chicken strips dinner? Shrimp-chicken. Maybe they couldn't hear through the speaker very well. read more

The jalapeño burger is probably the best burger I've had and that includes sit down restaurants. On our last visit the soup was very salty, however this time it was perfect! The pork cutlet sandwich tasted fine but was very dry and completely fell apart, needs some sort of condiment included. Rings were awesome, the girls (pups) loved the corn dog ( it was pretty tasty), will definitely be back again and again . read more

This is a really classic drive-in restaurant within Brooklyn Park right off of County Road 81. I usually get the California burger with raw onions and side of fries or onion rings. I've never really been disappointed with their burgers or food in general. It's a good typical old-school American classic diner environment. A lot of teens that work here and you know just getting experience. However, the staff is always friendly and always helpful to make sure their customers have what they want. This is a great place. If you wanna go out on a date or just go grab a quick bite in the summer. read more

Amazing food and great service. Service was fast and friendly staff. Will definitely come back again when I'm up that way again.

There's not a ton of Drive-in experiences in Mn as it's freezing cold half of the year. It's cool to catch one when you can. My mom likes the burgers here however I don't eat beef so my options were limited. I ended up getting chicken tenders & a strawberry shake. The chicken tenders weren't great. I feel like they make the bbq sauce in house? It was very watery and had a sweet apple flavor to it, I didn't really like it. The shake was really good though. The food came out fairly quick. We were able to get in & out. Not too much interaction with staff as they just take the order over intercom & deliver the food to your car. read more

Very quick service. I ordered a cheeseburger and fries. Both came out fresh and piping hot. The crinkle cut fries were crispy and not soggy. The burger meat was flavorful, the bun was soft and fresh. The food was delivered to my car in a paper bag. I thought about it and decided that plastic baskets created a mess for the business and weren't necessary. I sat out one of the concrete tables with an umbrella and ate my food on a pretty perfect day. This is as a really good drive-in experience. read more

Food 5 start Service 5 star Ambience 5 star What makes this a 3 star review? I go there for their wonderful food. love their malts and their shakes but the lids of the shakes always always always NEVER stay on! Okay so either in my car the shake spills all over my car or it falls in the parking lot! one time it actually fell in the parking lot and I probably would give them a two-star if they didn't very graciously replace it right away cuz they saw it happen. They know that it doesn't fit and they still serve it that way . I gave them several chances maybe I just will never order shakes but they are great. Don't know if we'll go back I keep hoping they'll get new covers**** CUSTOMERS BEWARE OF THE SHAKES SPILLING ALL OVER EVERYWHERE YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED I will give you a five star review if you do!

The building looks a little rough but don't let that scare you away, it's part of the charm. You can order and eat in your car or they have picnic tables too. Burgers were fresh and cooked well served on a soft but toasted bun. Good size serving of onion rings that weren't greasy. Thick, chocolaty malt. Prices similar to any other fast food but I don't feel gross after eating. Service was quick and friendly. The place was busy so service with a smile was noticed. read more

Food is amazing. Great drive in and love all the recent upgrades and food is still delicious and great pricing

Food is great. Service is friendly and personal. Love supporting a long-standing local business. An old style drive in!! Only negative is we did try a brat there one day, and it was horribly overcooked - wouldn't get it again. But the burgers fries milkshakes cones are fresh and fabulous. read more

Pregnancy cravings for fried food and didn't want typical fast food. I didn't get a picture of my burger but it was basic like other reviewers said. No seasoning to the meat. Onion rings was highlight. Husband said chili dog was subpar. Def one suffer for me. Good place if you like unseasoned fried food. I also felt cost was high read more

Finally made it to Wagners and so happy we did! This is a small, old school drive in where you push the button to order from your car and the deliver right to you. No car trays so plan on eating right from your dash or your laps. The food was great! We got two cheeseburgers, a mushroom Swiss, large fry, side if onion rings and a chili fry. Burgers were cooked well and the mushroom Swiss had a ton of mushrooms. Fries and onion rings perfectly crispy. The crisp fries helped keep the chili fries from getting too soggy as well. Traffic was consistent on a Saturday mid day but not packed and everyone could find a spot. Service was nice and food was delivered quickly. Only recommendation would be to order extra ketchup packets as we only got 4 with our order. A great choice for a fast and fun bite on the go! read more

Nostalgia is a toxic impulse, but a drive in with tasty burgers, good malts, and a few surprises on a deep menu is a pretty epic blast of dopamiene. The car hops were polite and efficient, as one might expect. A little out of the way, but a great spot. read more

I have lived not far from here for 7 years and only found it because of a Google search for restaurants nearby and open at the time that I was looking for something to eat. We chose Wagner's Drive-In and are taste buds are still happy for it. I got a Patty Melt. My friend got the Gourmet Burger. We also ordered fries and onion rings as our sides. I can tell you that this is THE BEST patty melt I've ever had in Minnesota! It was absolutely perfect in every way. The melt of the cheese, the softness of the onions, the 1,000 Island Dressing. It was perfectly toasted as well. My friend loved everything about the Gourmet Burger. He said that everything was perfectly cooked and was a symphony of flavors. The bun was soft and perfectly toasted. Both the fries and onion rings were winners. The fries are a head-to-head match for Culver's and their onion rings are a perfect rival for those found at Dave's Downtown. The service was friendly and quick, and we learned that you get a discount for paying in cash. I've been making up reasons to go back and know that the next visit will be very soon. Wagner's is a winner! read more

Business took three of us to CarMax at mid-day and we spotted Wagner's Drive-In. It looked like a good old-fashioned place for some iconic food. My brother and I are always on the lookout for a good chili dog and that is what we ordered. Unfortunately, these were not what we had hoped for. The art of making chili sauce for dogs has not been mastered by everyone. This was subpar. The dogs themselves were quite good and had the flavor to stand up to chili, but the chili was more like bowl chili and that does not belong on a dog. They are not the same thing. It had beans which is a definite no-no for chili and excessive cumin. I guess we were hoping for a great coney-style dog or one like we get in the Carolinas. In any case, we were disappointed. Two stars for the chili dogs. read more

Lots of drive up spots! Some under the roof and others not. Drive careful they're due for some new pavement! They have a few outdoor tables with umbrellas by the train tracks. Classic diner-drive-up-dive food! Hit my craving for the day after a nice mid-morning walk. We ordered a California Burger, Jalapeño Burger, Fries, and a large Chocolate Malt! Fun retro vibes! Sitting in the sun, dipping fries into the malt, enjoying the breeze! The burger patties reminded me of a standard fall-apart crumbly-but-delicious bar burger! The malt stayed thick and creamy until the very end! I think everything was reasonably priced! Higher than fast food but lower than a restaurant! It's cool to see places like these still operating! Definitely worth a try, could become a regular stop! read more

Wagner's Drive In is a fun nostalgic road stop joint. The fries are spectacular and come in a giant serving size. Burgers are what you would expect from a vintage roadside burger joint. Shakes/Malts are phenomenal with several obscure flavors like blueberry and pineapple (yum). Took 25 mins to receive food on a busy Friday night, if they could speed up the service would definitely be a five star. Another cool thing is the vintage cars that show up and dine here on a regular basis, we will definitely be back. read more

Been disappointed twice recently. The hamburger was dry and thin didn't taste like meat. Next time I tried the roast beef sandwich. Again dry and just a few slices of beef ! read more

I was invited to this joint by a friend who works nearby and loves the food. I was first, surprised drive-ins still exist and second, surprised they fit any tables into that little space! I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich, cheese fries and a small mellow yellow (coke products). The sandwich had a warm and crispy bun, the tomatoes weren't ripe so I just shoved then off. The chicken wasn't quite big enough for the bun, I was left with a bite or two of just bun. The cheese fries were very thick cut, but well done and salted perfectly with a nice cheese sauce that tasted like nacho cheese. The small soda was very small and heavy on ice so that wasn't exactly exciting. The cramped tables and old people hanging out inside kind of killed the vibes as there is no choice for any private conversation. This is strictly a food space. Do not bring your friends or family unless it is for the drive in feature. I do not wish to waste my car gas or battery sitting and it is not good for the environment to have so much fuel burning. My purse literally did not fit on the table with the tray of food for 2 people and the napkin stand. No hooks for purses either. I probably wouldn't come back even though I enjoyed the flavors of the food. read more

Ordered a double California burger with cheese, an order of onion rings, and vanilla malt. Portions were generous. Burger had way too much salt, couldn't taste the beef through all the salt! Onion rings were crispy and good, and the malt was OK. Service was prompt and friendly. As for ambiance, it's a genuine 50s drive in, but sadly the window trays are gone. Overall, a good experience, but cut the salt on burgers by half -- they will taste better! read more

Great good ole burger joint. Liked the drive in, speaker boxes. Patty melt was right on and I love the crinkle fries. Worth the drive in -2

Go ahead and laugh. I am a plain, keep it simple hamburger lover. Every once in a while I'll add cheese or peppers, or mushrooms. But, my preference is lettuce tomato, onion and pickles. Wagner's drive in does just that. That backyard burger taste combined with the nostalgia of days gone by. This family owned drive-thru did not disappoint. It is now my top go to burger spot. Reasonable prices. Cooked to order. Friendly service. read more

Wagner's is a classic, and one of the last true drive/in restaurants in the Twin Cities. There is some left to be desired in terms of the atmosphere, ie. fixing the potholes, but I understand their focus is on the food. With that being said, it is also a drive-in restaurant, so you'd think the parking lot would be a priority. Staff are very friendly here and very warm. There has never been a mistake with my food. The grilled cheese sandwich is crispy and really the most perfect grilled cheese I've ever had. I think there had been a change to the crinkle cut fries over the last couple of years, but the rest of the food makes up for it. read more

Horrible food! I have no idea how anyone says any different. The burgers are made with very low quality beef patties that they don't season, it's just bad meat on a bun, disgusting, for real. Fries are standard frozen, also no seasoning. The "roast beef" is an abomination, it is seriously a couple thin slices of something watery on a bun, but WAY over salty. Cheese curds are again,standard from frozen. I hate that these local mom and pop places can't make good food, I would love to love it, but this places is a disgusting mess. Oh, people there were real nice. read more
