We have done the food truck at the New Hope Hy Vee several times as well. A delicious juicy burger perfectly seasoned with a massive crispy meat skirt. Served with fries at Rosetown (but I believe not at the remote food truck) the fries are worth it. The bun was great and held up to the juicy burger. This one is not to be missed! One single and one double cheese plain came to $30 cash with tax and tip. Great value.

Excellent burgers. Really what you're imagining when you think of like an American greasy spoon…read morediner burger. The Spicy Boi was excellent, and it was a hard choice for that one vs some others on the menu. Fries are okay, I was kinda hoping for a more thick cut diner/food truck kinda fry (crispy from the animal fat and such), but the shoestring cut with herb and salt seasoning was good too. I'd probably get the sweet potato fries next time, try those out.

The Juicy Lucy from Francis Burger Joint is the BEST burger I've ever had! Hands down, it's even…read morebetter than the ones I've had when I used to eat meat. When I go to new cities, I typically seek out food that is specific to the region and thus a little more interesting to me. You can get a burger anywhere, and a cheese filled patty, aka a "Juicy Lucy", didn't sound like something I needed to try. But my husband kept talking about it and really seemed bent on having one so we decided to come here to try it out. We showed up during their happy hour, from 4-5pm, and they had $5 draft beers. Score! It's a cute place with ample seating, nice natural light from the large windows, and a relaxed atmosphere. I ordered the Juicy Lucy, a burger patty stuffed with cheese and topped with lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, and pub sauce. I chose the Impossible patty version, but you can also get it with their house made black bean burger. Hubby chose the Garlic Girl, a black bean cheeseburger topped with bacon (also made in-house), berbere aioli, lettuce, and pickled onion. Each burger came with fries. Both burgers were spectacular and delicious in their own way. The bacon on hubby's burger was incredible, and his burger was rich and satisfying. By my Juicy Lucy, oh my... Every bite was a flavor explosion and intensely delicious without being a gut bomb shockingly. To top it off, the fries were super crispy and just perfect. WOW is all I can say. Note that while the prices may seem a little higher than what you might expect, Francis Burger is a no tipping establishment, as stated on their menu. For the quality of the food and the great service, it was well worth the price! I'll be back if I'm ever in this area again.f

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.

This is one of my very favorite places for breakfast, and I return often because the food is…read moreconsistently delicious. I highly recommend the Original Bagel Sandwich--an everything bagel with bacon, American cheese, and a fried egg--paired with Oliver's hash. The hash has outstanding flavor and is truly a standout. Another favorite is the Scrambler (scrambled eggs with bacon, scallions, mushrooms, peppers, aged cheddar, and Oliver's hash underneath). Again, the flavor is excellent. If you enjoy a little kick, be sure to ask for their homemade hot sauce--it's terrific. I believe the ketchup is made in-house as well, although it's not quite to my taste. My one consistent disappointment with breakfast is that the menu never changes. They don't seem to offer specials, and I would really love to see new items introduced--whether occasionally or seasonally. Adding some variety would make an already great experience even better. I've considered going for lunch, but the current menu doesn't quite draw me in. I tend to go to specialty places for pizza or tacos, and while I'm sure the soup is very good, I can't justify $17 for a bowl. There are burgers and sandwiches as well, but nothing that really stands out to me. Again, introducing lunch specials or rotating items would make a big difference and likely bring me in more often. The atmosphere is excellent--comfortable, inviting, and full of charming little nooks and crannies, along with bar seating. If having a booth is important to you, I recommend making a reservation.

I went for Father's Day…read more I was kinda bummed because I've been wanting to check this place out for a while & didn't realize it was a limited menu for Father's Day. I had the breakfast tacos. The brisket was ok. The meal came with an abundance of things we didn't want. Like a giant caramel roll was the first thing they brought to the table. We didn't want that. Then there was a massive side of bacon, sausage & au gratin potatoes. Those sides did not go well with either of the entrees e selected. Kind of a waste to be honest. It wasn't very busy but service was slow. Idk if I will be back after this. The regular menu would have been better.

They must change the menu because we were here last year (Feb 2025) and not much on the menu appealed to me. But this year they were lots of things I wanted to try. I'm late in posting my review. But I do remember that I split entrees with another. We split the BBQ Brisket Melt and the Oklahoma Smashburger. We both prefer the BBQ Melt over the burger. It had more flavor and texture. It's always good food and service. And I'm sure we'll go again next year after our Annual Seminar.

If you don't like sitting in the sun , consider asking for a table instead or away from the windows. Food 5/5: we got the brussels sprouts and shrimp bowl. I loved the maple sauce with the goat cheese on the sprouts! It's definitely different than the soy type sauces other places are doing, and brought the perfect salty sweet combination. The shrimp bowl is my go to here, and was great. The sauce with the shrimp, avocado, veggies and rice is a great balance of flavor. Service 5/5: our server was very attentive and the food came quickly. Ambiance 5/5: this place has an upscale cozy vibe. It is on the smaller side, so tables are somewhat close, but not too close. Note the credit card charge.

The patio was fairly with constant turnover while we were there, the weather was great, and the service was A+! The inside definitely has a dark dive bar vibe, good for some occasions but not super family friendly, but we felt comfortable having a little one with us out on the patio. The food was delicious! We tried the "wings" (made of chicken thighs) and they gave regular wings a run for their money! You can do two flavors which is great, and they're very filling. We also got a burger and the special of the night, chopped cheese, and thought it was delicious. Great portions, we had a ton left to take home. The cocktail was delicious as well, will definitely try more when we come back next to hang out on the patio! Come check this place out!

Aguavarita: This was a Gose that had agave and guava added which gave it a nice balance. The tartness from the core Gose sour style leveraged the sweetness of the agave / guava to taste nearly like a margarita. Hazebiscus: An extremely fruity and juicy Double Dry Hopped IPA. The use of this year's Pink Boots Blend (HBC 630, Idaho Gem, Loral, Talus, and Triumph) gave off raspberry and red currant on the aroma with a huge blast of grapefruit, citrus, and raspberry on the flavor. A medium hop bitterness rose in the finish. Very enjoyable DDH IPA in addition to $3 per pound of the hop blend donated to the Pink Boots Society scholarship fund (which High Pines used 44 pounds) Home Improvements: A black lager with sales being donated to Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity. Medium-thin body with a lot of roastiness for a lager. Pitch black, bitter, and refreshing. Beyond the roastiness, there are medium-low dark chocolate and roasted coffee beans on both the aroma and the flavor. Still refreshing on the warmer summer days.

The space is quite large with open seating - something I'd expect is great for a large group. I asked if we could combine some tables and the staff said they'd do it for us. We ended up having a table for 8. While more people in my group showed up than expected, we ended up adding a few more chairs. With the open seating and lots of tables available, we thought it would be fine. However, the staff didn't seem to be too happy with us. Our group had not gotten together in a while, so a couple of us had switched chairs to talk with different people. The server said in a very rude way, "You guys need to stop switching seats. I can't keep track of your orders and you want this on separate checks, right?" We had never asked for separate checks and I would have offered to pay on one check if it made it easier, but she left right after saying that. Towards the end of our stay, after paying and enjoying some last minute shakes (around 9:15pm, they close at 10), the same server started putting away the metal chairs VERY loudly and carelessly while we were still finishing up. We all watched her throw the chairs on top of each other as we stayed silent because we couldn't hear each other over her stacking them. We took the hint and left. Everyone inside the restaurant followed after. I assume because they, too, felt awkward as she was loudly cleaning up. The food was mid at best, the beer selection and unique combinations are great, but the bad service made the experience miserable. I didn't notice the server treating any other guests as bad as our table, so I am just not sure why she treated us the way she did. I definitely won't be back.
