I'd say yes but you may have a different answer, especially as it is crowded on a Friday and there is not a lot of room to wait. There are plenty of nearby options for fish fry, but don't expect a shorter wait and Dan's or anywhere else in the area. The fish is delicious. On other days the other food here is also above average. Also a full bar, so that helps kill some time as you wait for a table. If you know you face a wait, this will work for you. If you are in a hurry, there are McDonald's in Farmington or Hastings.

When you order coffee they give you a pot and it's a basic coffee. I got the senior pancake which is huge and fluffy. I could barely finish the one mostly because I ordered the senior biscuits and gravy which serves two. It just seemed like the kind of place that would do it well and they did. Basil loved his mushroom omelet. White toast was done just right and they actually know how to butter it. I sampled his hash browns and they were good as well. Kayla was our awesome server and always handy. I like how the restaurant is divided. I want to try lunch and possibly dinner another time. But it will always be our late November stop. It's a nice drive, especially today.

The Burger Monarchy: A Paradox of Plenty in Miesville In the…read morequiet, pastoral stretches outside Eagan, there exists a roadside institution that defies the modern trend of curated minimalism. King's Place in Miesville is a relic of a different era, a burger joint that functions less like a restaurant and more like a high-volume assembly line of Americana. The menu is not merely large; it is an overwhelming, multi-page manifesto of beef. With roughly 80 to 100 variations on the burger--many named in tribute to the local Miesville Mudhens baseball team--the experience begins with a bout of genuine decision paralysis. For the average diner, the sheer volume of choices feels like a dare. It is a place where you can find almost any topping imaginable, which makes the absence of a simple fried mushroom all the more jarring. It is the one note the kitchen fails to hit in an otherwise exhaustive symphony. When the food does arrive, the logistics are the primary entertainment. The floor staff at King's Place perform a nightly feat of athletic grace, weaving through the crowded, character-filled dining room while balancing five or more burger trays at a time. It is a spectacle of efficiency that puts the sterile, automated nature of modern chains to shame. However, one must navigate the side dishes with a discerning eye. While the temptation to "upgrade" is always present, the seasoned waffle fries are an investment that yields little return; they are best skipped in favor of the standard fare. The real value here lies in the core product and the refreshing lack of pretension. Despite the fame and the daunting menu, the pricing remains stubbornly reasonable, a rare feat for an establishment that has transitioned from a local secret to a regional landmark. "Life is too short to miss out on the beautiful things like a double cheeseburger." -- Channing Tatum For those seeking the predictable polish of a franchise, King's Place will be a confusing sensory overload. But for the traveler who values soul, speed, and a price point that respects the wallet, this is a kingdom worth visiting--just don't expect to find a fried mushroom on your plate.

There was a 45-minute wait for a table for two but we snagged a couple spots at the bar and sat down right away. The bartender/waitress was a pure delight. Despite how crazy busy it was, she was pleasant and helpful and efficient. (I'm sorry I can't remember her name.) And they were offering free mimosas to all the ladies which was a nice bonus. Hubby and I both ordered the eggs Benedict with a side of hashbrowns. Everything was perfectly cooked and we were delighted with the crispy hash browns Strangely, we find crispy, perfectly cooked hashbrowns very rarely. And we have breakfast out fairly often. This restaurant nailed it! The prices are very reasonable, and the service was great. Highly recommend!

While I only had the Hangover Hash for years - absolutely perfect breakfast - I started trying other items off the menu. The Hot Mother Clucker and Three Little Pigs are phenomenal. But, the best of all and the best in the Twin Cities is the Biscuits & Gravy. Hanisch Bakery biscuits and the absolutely best and perfect sausage gravy easily beats every other B&G in the metro and dare I say it, in the entire country. Owen is the best server - great attitude, always happy to see you and gives the best recommendations!

They also offer igloo dining, which you can reserve ahead, such a fun touch & especially in colder months. The fries cost a few dollars extra, which was a little surprising at first, but honestly, they're worth the upgrade. The standard chips that come with meals are just bagged, which was a bit of a letdown...I was at least hoping for something house-made. Still, overall a really solid spot!

We shared the cheese curds appetizer, which was great. For main dishes, my son created a meal by combining the appetizer chicken tenders with a side of fries. It was a LOT of food, and very good. He brought about half the tenders home. I had a chunk of a tender, too, and really enjoyed it. My husband had the southwest burger with tots. The tots were huge, like little barrels! I had the weekend special, a winter grilled cheese. To grab the description from their social media: "Brie, bacon, apples, hot honey, and white cheddar on cranberry wild rice bread." It was extremely good. I had potato salad on the side, and I have to say, it was probably about the best not-homemade potato salad I 've ever had. Incredibly fresh. I had an apple cider mule to drink, too. I really loved the woodsy, homey vibe, too. As we were there in December, there was lots of Christmas decor.

As a patron who was not with that group, I was uncomfortable for some of them at the table. I am not sure of the nature of the complaint, issue or comment, but that was unnecessary to behave in that manner regardless if you believed the customer was in the wrong. There was only one waitress working, she appeared to be doing her best, but they were not busy and food & drinks times were long. We have not been to Coopers in a while, figured we would try a local place for a quick bite & trivia, but most likely will not be back if that's how's complaints/issues are handled.

I didn't order food while I was there, so I can't speak to the menu, but I did try a margarita. It was pretty basic, though I appreciated that the bartender made an effort to dress it up and make it look nice. Overall, it seems like the kind of place that works well as a practical stop if you're traveling, need a quick drink, or just want somewhere casual to sit for a bit and use the restroom. It's not somewhere I'd personally choose for a date night, but it serves its purpose as a simple, low-key stop along the way.

Minus points because they cut it into squares instead of the obviously superior triangles. The stand out for me is the green bean fries, I know green bean fries aren't especially difficult to do and they're kind of the same everywhere but honestly not that many people do them so I'm always happy when they're available. They were great I've dipped them in their seasoned sour cream and was very happy with them.
