If you're looking for a divey spot with comfort food, Uncle Franky's is definitely worth a visit…read more Their menu features a variety of hot dogs, burgers, wings, tots, fries, and other classic favorites. On this visit, I ordered the tots, a Coney Island Chili Dog, and a Wall Street Dog. Everything hit the spot and came out quickly. This is a true hole-in-the-wall kind of place. Perfect for grabbing a fast bite, people-watching, chatting with the locals, and soaking in the neighborhood atmosphere. Places like this have a lot of character, and I'm always happy to support local gems that make the community unique.

Guy fieri visited in 2008 and this place was featured on his show. Diners, Drive Ins and Dives. I feel like they should renovate the Restaurant. It appears Dirty and needs to be cleaned. They should also replace the menus, believe me it's time. They should reorganize the front area. It would look more appealing to see. The bad mfer as he says is super duper Friendly. He seems to know a lot of people in town super nice. I think he should switch up his shirt tho kinda looked a lil dirty haha

The best of the best is at the Nook. I had frequented this dive many times for lunch during the day…read moreand just went on a Sunday night. The place was hoppin but we were seated within 5 minutes (table for 5). The nook curds (maple glaze and bacon) is unmatched. The service is perfect - friendly and attentive. Street parking is the only option. We just parked one street over. I was happy to see the bowling alley downstairs was alive and well. Congrats on being a delicious place that everyone loves!

OMG, I think I'm IN LOVE…read more And this place is literally SO CLOSE to where we live now, I can walk there in just half an hour. (Probably good cuz you gotta work off the calories from those malts...) I actually saw this place advertised on a road sign for eateries to expect on the next exit. Usually those get covered in all the food chains like Taco Bell and junk, so my interest was piqued and I announced my enthusiasm to my hubbie that we try it. DELICIOUS. We arrived on a lovely sunny spring day, so we chose to dine outside on their patio area. The inside had a fun retro cafe aesthetic that I'm sure we'll enjoy during the cooler months at some point too. The staff was incredibly friendly and in a good mood, which added to my own happiness upon arrival. We were seated and given menus to study, and I do mean I had to thoroughly study it. Picking out what I wanted was TOUGH. Everything looked mouth-wateringly good, but I finally settled on the patty melt on the marbled rye with the waffle fries. Excellent choice, and it was so humongous of a portion that I ended up taking half home and reheating it in my air fryer another day. Love that! Hubbie and I shared a large chocolate malt, which they gave us two glasses to pour into. It was also delicious. All the prices seemed pretty reasonable, especially for nowadays the way the economy is. IYKYK. We're already planning the next time we'll be back! Yummy yummy in my tummy!

We got a beef hot dog for $4 and dressed it ourselves with mustard, ketchup, sour krout, relish, and onions. They also had chips and beverages for sale if needed. There was no line and he was parked at a corner so it was easy to park quick and pick one up. The stand itself was cute and well maintained. We paid cash and he was able to make change quickly. We would stop and buy again if we see the stand!

I just had their food earlier today. What I liked was how supportive they are of community events…read more Because you never know where they might be. Even though they are usually in Mears or Rice Parks, which are located in downtown St. Paul. I mean for a hotdog cart or stand, their menu is real simple. I mean I could get a hotdog, braut, or even a polish sausage. With accompanying chips and soda/water. Of course they never they seemed to be busy, with short spurts of people, so I never had to wait that long. I decided on a polish sausage, with some chips and soda to go with my meal. Now once I paid they were ready right there with my meal. Now of course having the toppings make my meal. Like sauerkraut, mustard and well maybe ketchup. Of course since I was hungry the food not only hit the spot, but I was able to devour my meal in one sitting. Now my sausage was thick and really juicy as well. Far better than any ones I have had for awhile. Of course if I happen to run across them, it would be so much fun to maybe try a braut.

I really like CrunCheese. Before coming here I had never tried a Korean hot dog, and now I have…read morebeen back quite a few times. The food is really good and reasonably priced. The service is just okay, and there is not much seating available, but since it is basically a corn dog style snack, it is easy to grab and eat while walking around. I usually get either the mozzarella or cheddar dog and load it up with toppings. One is usually filling enough unless you are really hungry. I still have not tried the dessert dog, which seems newer on the menu, but I definitely want to at some point. I would recommend giving this place a try if you have never had a Korean hot dog before.

I love CrunCheese. Once I found out about Korean hotdogs, I knew I had to have one. One turned to…read moretwo, two turned to three. You get it. I come here often. This is a great place to pop into when you're walking around or otherwise on the move. They don't have much of an interior, so plan to have your order taken and hangout for a bit before picking it up, adding some sauce, and tasting the magic. As a potato enthusiast, I'm partial to their potato hotdog but have tried a few of their flavors. These things are so tasty. The corndog was due for a rebrand and this is it!

HIGHLIGHTS 1) Server was great…read more2) Atmosphere was on the louder side. 3) Malts and appetizer were good 4) Burger was not good, pretty disappointed, never again for the food ***Below is full review*** Service was great! Our server was super nice and even gave us a discount for giving us the wrong food before we needed to mentioned it. I got the salted Carmel and brownie malt. They kinda lacked the brownie but was still good taste overall. Appetizer: Cheese curds were decent, not super strong flavor but not oily and decent portion. Side of onion rings were pretty good. Again not strong flavor but made well. Upcharge $2 (service didn't mention) Atmosphere: Kinda loud because it's a smaller restaurant and harder to hear the person across from you. Nice older classic decor and look. Been there since 1986. Unfortunately the entree food was not good... Disappointed on the California Burger. Had no flavor. The tomato was bland and soggy, the meat had no seasoning or flavor. The avocado was dull and tasteless, Only good part on it was the lettuce. My boyfriend order the turkey club but didn't get that, the server knew it was the wrong order but still brought it to us. My bf didn't want to say anything, and the server said he took something off the bill (which we thought meant took the sandwich off, but gave us $9 off the bill) Overall. It was a decent, the appetizer, and malts are nice. But I wouldn't go there for the entrees.

The vibes are all here for this one! A great little spot tucked away in a strip mall…read more We chose to sit down and order in, but they also have a counter that you can order food and malts to go. We got 2 burgers and 2 malts, both were good but nothing out of the park. The onion rings though are 10/10, perfectly crispy! We still enjoyed our time and will absolutely be back to try more items on the menu.
