We grabbed a seat on the patio since the weather was nice, and the staff was friendly and attentive. Service was quick, and our food arrived in a timely manner. I ordered the Sandy Signature Burger with fries. The burger had great flavor, the onions were cooked perfectly, and the cheese was melted just right. The bun held together well from start to finish, which is always a plus. At only $9 for the burger and $13.75 with fries, it felt like an excellent value and was the perfect amount of food. My wife ordered the Sandy Sizzler with tots, and here's what she had to say: "This burger was juicy and flavorful. The seasoning was spot on, enhancing the beef without overpowering it. The jalapeños added the perfect amount of heat, while the chipotle mayo brought a smoky, creamy kick that tied everything together beautifully. The crispy tots were the perfect side--golden, crunchy, and cooked well. While the portion wasn't huge, it was just the right amount to complement the burger without leaving you overly full." Overall, we were pleasantly surprised. Good food, friendly service, fair prices, and a relaxed atmosphere. We'll definitely stop back if in the area.

On awkward waiting wondering if this is one of those places where you can just seat yourself. The place is clean and the ambiance has some very nice touches to bring intrigue. The subtle candle-like light fixture was corky and added to the charm. Prices are very reasonable! I had a good idea what I wanted prior to stopping in. Food came out quickly. Less than 10 mins. Lupia was hot and delicious. My first time having one so wilk not compare it to an egg roll. The braised beef rib was tender and juicy. I pulled out the knife but only a fork is necessary. I do wish the meat was a tad saltier but just a personal preference there. Service was pleasant, attentive, and quick. The gentleman who greeted me also thanked me on my way out. It was rather pleasant experience overall and am planning on coming back to try more of the menu!

Very small parking lot available, so plan on nearby street parking! The space itself is nicely decorated in a clean, modern style with a touch of farmhouse decor to beckon back to their namesake. Tables available for small or larger groups available. Our server was very friendly and attentive to us during the visit! I love that they have brunch and lunch menu, depending on your vibe! On this visit, I had the burrito breakfast and it was so yummy! Large serving of carnitas, with plenty of other toppings that balance each other out without over powering. I'd definitely have it again!

(They did try to put us at a 6 person booth and had to veto that lol). Our server was friendly and gave great recommendations on drinks. The only one we didnt enjoy was the dirty soda with dr pibb & lemon cream.. not for us! I loved the wine selection. I ordered the tuna melt and it was suprisingly really good? Its the first time trying one & would definitely get it again. I dont enjoy that fries/sides are included with the meal & will usually be my biggest qualm with red cow. Other than that we had a great time as a group and celebrating our friends engagement!

Service is good despite how busy it can be. Very good place to grab a drink and a burger.

We went here for a lunch date after a 26 year hiatus…read more The Jucy Lucy burger with added onions and cheese on the top was just what we needed to fix our burger craving. It is a double patty with molten cheese stuffed in the middle. The basket of fries were crispy and salty and is enough for two people. It is definitely an OG dive bar so don't expect much from the aesthetics besides the burger will hit the spot. Don't bite into the burger right away. You will burn your mouth or lip from the molten cheese in the middle. We waited 3-5 minutes and it was still too hot. Be prepared to wait in line. We arrived at just the right time not to wait. This is an iconic spot for a great burger that is consistent and doesn't disappoint.

The kitchen staff did amazing, having our table orders ready in a short time! I love when there's wood fired chicken and I preferred the teriyaki flavor (lemon seasoning on first chicken was a bit salty for my tastebuds). The tri color potatoes were ABSOLUTELY the BEST item of anything I have eaten! SO GOOD! The mushroom flatbread is also absolutely delicious and well balanced! The flourless chocolate torte tasted like fudge -- yum! Will definitely be back with more friends!

And thankfully that bookshelf was there because we were waiting for awhile. When we first arrived we waited about 10 minutes before anyone who worked there even made an appearance, which seemed odd for a Friday at 10 am. May have been understaffed because the same person was seemingly the only person serving the full restaurant, which is so difficult. We waited patiently, understanding that that happens. However, unfortunately the food was only okay too. I ordered a broccoli and cheddar omelet and it was sadly not really an omelet at all. Full florets of steamed broccoli with a flat egg blanket wrapped around them... see photos to understand, this was a bummer and just not an omelet! It seems like the quiche is the way to go here, I had a bite of quiche that someone else ordered and that was very tasty and they have a rotating quiche menu or quiche of the day! Would definitely recommend going with the quiche for breakfast.

Orale will definitely become one of my new go-to spots!…read more I got the swimming burrito with carne asada and my partner got the swimming burrito with carnitas. Both were good, I would definitely recommend the carne asada. We also got chips and guac. The guacamole had a strong lime taste and was so unbelievably delicious, I would go back just for the guac. There is a small parking lot in front of the restaurant and a ton of street parking. The staff were very nice and helpful. We ordered at the kiosk and they brought our food to our table. It looked like the bartender also waits on the tables in the back. There's a section of the restaurant that's a bit loud, but we easily found a spot to sit in a quieter area.

The food is pretty decent. I lived in Querétaro, Mexico, and spent 8 years in Phoenix, so I know…read morethe difference between authentic and Americanized Mexican food; this is firmly the latter. It's a bit whitewashed and leans more Cal-Mex than anything you'd find in Mexico, but I'm not complaining. I love a good California burrito and asada fries, so this style has its place (especially in Minnesota). Service can be slow. It took us about an hour to get two burritos yesterday and the restaurant didn't look busy. Maybe they were just short staffed. My main issue is the salsa. They limit you to one packet per person, and it's not the slightest bit spicy. And where are the limes? This place desperately needs a salsa bar with real options and some heat. Bump up the salsa selection and stop rationing it, and this would be a solid spot. For now, I'll keep getting this to go and buying my own salsa and limes.

Now that…read moreit's getting dark early (and the cold is starting to creep in), we are all craving something warm and comforting. Petit Leon is just the ticket! We arrived a bit early for our reservation and were seated right away (woo hoo!). Our awesome server, Nico, came by right away with menus, which we eagerly began to peruse. I was stoked to see that they still have an amazing selection of creative zero proof options on the drink menu. I went for a non-alcoholic bubbly (yum!). The menu had some old favorites (hello, piquillo peppers) and some new things. I highly recommend the smashed cucumbers. They are so refreshing and well-balanced. The dill yogurt foam is creamy and tart, and the pickled Fresno peppers and garlic add just the right amount of bright bite. Another don't-miss is the fry bread. Fry bread is delicious however it comes, but this came with whipped ricotta and salsa macha (which became my favorite condiment of all time when it first graced my lips here several years ago) and the loveliest smoked beets I have ever had. (Full disclosure: I am pretty sure they are the only smoked beets I have ever had, which is a crying shame.) For my main, I ordered the cabbage, which was beautifully caramelized and topped with a delightfully umami-heavy mushroom gravy and cloud of grated cheese. It tasted like comfort and home. Bliss! For dessert, I had the tarta de queso, which is one of my favorite desserts in the Twin Cities; creamy and light with just a hint of sweet, this one is a winner, and I am sad it took me so long to discover.

I headed here with my wife for a much anticipated burger night (Tuesdays)…read more It's a great deal. $22 for a burger fries and a beer. They do offer a Paloma or NA option for people who would like something other than a beer The burgers were much larger than anticipated. Made with two smash patties, cheese, sauce and onions. Mine did seem a little bit too crisp even burnt in some spots which overpowered the other flavors. Still I did find it a good burger I just wouldn't put it in my top in the city. But do get it on a Tuesday night! We did also do the Cheesecake. I might not be the best person to judge as I don't normally pick the cheesecake but I found this one to lack a lot of flavor and it did seem a bit like the vanilla wafer topping might have been a bit stale. The place itself was great. We sat on the patio which is small and on the sidewalk but inside there are lots of cozy booths and a fun bar. And our server was great as well. Just an FYI parking can be a bit tricky in this spot but don't let that keep you away.
