We stopped in here for MN Burger week for their $10 burger. It was two smash burgers, topped with American cheese, grilled onions, and a pickle. This place was a fun find; it has a neighborhood bar feel serving up the locals. The food was good, too. The burger was served piping hot and tasted like it used fresh, quality ingredients. Since breakfast is one of my favorite meals, I was pleased to see they serve breakfast until 5PM. They have happy hour prices, including a $4 beer. For fun, they have trivia and karaoke nights. We look forward to a return visit!

There are a lot of places to get wings and a good burger. But this is in my top 5 best burger spots. Don't mess with the best. @burgerdivemn in St. Paul is where it's at. They do have another spot in the @potluckmn food area of Rosedale Mall and are connected to @the1029bar in MPLS. Our favorites here are many: Dry Rub Wings (with ranch) these are my favorite wings ever Wedge Burger House Burger Their fries are worth the upgrade. SO GOOD. (not pictured but need highlighting because they're good) Onion Burger Mushroom Swiss Chicken Burger the fried Cauliflower (has turmeric spices) Lobster rolls also are top notch There's a similar burger to their house burger that's gotten a lot of hype in St. Paul, not naming names, but the one here blows that hyped one out of the water in my opinion. It's the weekend, go get a good burger and wings. Enjoy!

Was open late on a Thursday. Was plesently notified it was karaoke night by the staff each taking a turn at singing. The beer was cold and the chicken wings were delicious.

This place is a slice of heaven. Breakfast was amazing and I have been here many times and it always puts out wonderful food. This is a dive bar with a really good menu. My wife got the Eggs Benedict. Chefs kiss.

Wings
Micah L.

Saw a food guy on IG give them top 5 wings in Minnesota so I had to check them out. Walked in, seems like a fun dive bar in the middle of a neighborhood. Sat at the bar, ordered some wings and water. Staff was friendly and served me pretty quick. Wings didnt take very long and when they cane out they were super hot temp wise, so A+ from me and good flavor. Overall great experience and would definitely go back if I was in the area.

Cheese burger with bacon (double patty)

I saw great reviews for this place and had to check it out! I came in late (around 8pm) on the day before a holiday and was surprised to see they had patio seating and space inside the restaurant. It seems to be a seat yourself kind of place! So no host, just find a good place and take a seat! The menu is straightforward, standard cocktails, appetizers and burger options. I asked for a single patty burger but forgot to ask to upgrade to a basket of fries so don't forget to let them know otherwise you will be given a bag of chips! (I was also satisfied with the single patty but could've eaten more) The burger was great! The pickles on it were unique and crunchy. Will definitely be coming back to try the burger with no modifications!

We've eaten here a few times and have never had a bad meal. We got the wedge burger this time, perfectly balanced and delicious. The deviled eggs were good but heavy handed on the salt. My complaint is about the 8.5 nothing special onion rings that were $11. We eat out often, I realize prices need to go up because of costs but more than a dollar for what tastes like frozen onion rings isn't an expense I think is worth it. Spiced mule was good. Server was attentive but food was really slow coming out of the kitchen which isn't the norm here.

Huevos Rancheros
Amber D.

I love Burger Dive! They have some fun specials, & their food always hits. They also have a massive drink selection, including THC seltzers, which is nice. The bar itself is not huge, but there's a tons of seating & a very large bar. There really isn't a bad seat in the house! Their servers are always great, they're attentive & fun. We came for the Vikings game for the first time, & they had some insane deals ($3 pitchers?!), along with plenty of TVs. I got their breakfast for the first time, & the huevos rancheros whipped. It was the perfect portion with super tasty, crispy tostadas & lots of salsa. They also have karaoke on the weekends, which is super fun. This place rocks & I'll keep coming back!

House Burger
Tara L.

We tried this place this weekend because they had good yelp reviews. I will say they had some good and some bad moments. First, this is a dive bar as titled and so it had a fun feel to it. We were able to sit right away and order. The food took a decent amount of time to come out (about 25 minutes). We weren't in a hurry so we were ok with that. When the food came the tots and fries were cold. Flavor was good but for sure done well before the burgers and sat for a bit. Burgers however were good. They were great flavor, hot and made up for the fact the fries and tots were cold. We did the house burger and wedge burger. We would recommend both. The burger is why I will give 4 stars instead of 3. Service was friendly but not attentive. The server took our order, brought our food and then much later brought our check. No check-ins while we ate and no offers for refills on drinks. She was very busy so I attribute it to that. Again, the burger was good and it's a cute dive bar. I think we had a few off things but the burger made up for it (that's why we went in the first place).

Dry Rub Wings
Jason O.

This might be the perfect neighborhood dive bar. Great food, not great bar food, just great food. Seriously good burgers and the breakfast menu is solid. The House burger with it's two beautifully smashed patties is just about perfect. On my most recent trip I got the Dry Rub Wings with house made ranch and blue cheese.....loved them! My go to breakfast is the Huevos Rancheros but the Breakfast Burrito is seriously good. The diamond in the rough on this menu is the Lobster Roll! If you're in the mood for a Lobster Roll do not skip it! The drinks are solid, good pour and are at a fair price. Always good service and a decent patio is definitely worth a mention. Parking is neighborhood street parking but I've never walked more than a block. From Pull Tabs to Trivia and Karaoke Burger Dive has it.

Chicken Strip Basket ($13). Hot and juicy chicken, nice dill-y ranch, and very fresh fries!
Mia M.

Came here for the first time for trivia tonight, and will definitely be back! It's a smaller space (very much dive-bar style--maybe 15 or so tables plus the bar) which I personally love for trivia. It was pretty busy when we went but our server Amy was super attentive and had great recommendations! We got the jalapeño cheese curds ($11) which were super fresh and delicious--I *personally* would've liked a bit more jalapeño on there because I'm a pepper fiend and their pickled jalapeños were delicious, but it was still excellent as-is. We also got the chicken strip basket ($13) which was just as hot and fresh as the curds--and they use a nice lighter batter so you really get the seasoning and the juiciness of the chicken rather than just a mouthful of breading in every bite. I thought the fries tasted particularly fresh and potato-y in a way that I've only ever tasted when I make fries at home, and you could really taste the dill in the house ranch, which I love. Some of the most solid bar food I've had in the cities--if you're looking for a hot, fresh, and pleasantly greasy bar meal, this place is literally perfect.

Not sure why, but about a month ago everyone was kicked out a little early by the female bartender. Bad attitude

Is it family friendly, can I bring my teen?

Yes. Almost each time we'd been in for burgers there have been families with kids of all ages. We've seen no behavior that would cause us concern.

I have been circling the Nook for a while now in my search for the best Jucy Lucy in the Twin…read moreCities. I've tried the two originals,Matt's and the 5-8, and the upstart Blue Door, among others, but we may have a winner in The Nook. First off, the atmosphere is exactly what a Nook should be: small and comfortable. The service was attentive, friendly and helpful. I noticed that was all the staff not just my server. I also appreciated the obligatory warning about the melted middle of my Lucy. Speaking of which, I tried the #7 Burger (it was recommended when I asked as it had more cheese and bacon). The Burger was flavorful and perfectly cooked. The cheese cheater exploded as a good Lucy should. A 10/10 experience. The hand-cut fried added to the experience and were a great compliment to the burger The beer was cold and refreshing, the food superb, and the staff welcoming. Not much more one can ask for. I will be back that is for sure.

There were a few people waiting so I requested downstairs while my friend parked. Jamison was our waiter and got me a beer right away. I got my juicy Lucy with extra lettuce. Burger was great but not sure that was extra lettuce. Also it wasn't really hot. And it came out without the fries. I had to ask for the fries more than once . Different people brought out food and it didn't seem coordinated. The fries finally came after I was more than 1/2 way through my burger. Cole slaw was great. Loved the ambiance downstairs with all the hanging dollar bills.

So fun sitting at the bar at Red Cow - it's like dinner and a show watching the bar tenders whip up…read moredrinks. The guys behind the bar were fun chatting with too. We started with Ahi Tuna Crisp appetizer - we substituted the cracker for cucumber. This twist makes it so fresh. The sauce is a bit tangy and avocado balances the tuna. So yummy! I opted for a cheeseburger - very good smash burger. I have had the Double Double in the past and that is probably my favorite burger with two smash burger patties, cheese and special sauce. Can't miss on the regular fries. Crispy and delicious!

I hadn't been here for quite sometime. But I was invited to a work lunch here the other day. Now I…read morehave had their food many times and the service was always good for the most part. I ordered the cheese curds, Japanese sticky wings and the Blues 2.0. The curds were a bit rubbery, but the wings were good. The burger was very underwhelming. The meat itself tasted like the lab grown meat. Its texture was way off. I ate it as I was hungry and I'm a big hurry, and I didn't want to make a fuss out of it as it was business related. The ambience was pleasant and the service good. I may have to try that burger again to see if it was just me or maybe the cooks were having an off day. Still a solid spot to go for apps and some beers.
