Buttered noodles would probably be a hit for that finicky toddler/child in your family.

When I lived in Rochester, I only visited one McDonald's restaurant. It was closer to where I lived…read morein the north part of the city. Last month, I was in the downtown area to dine at Red Cow. It's near the Mayo Clinic, so parking is at a premium and difficult to find. I did something that I shouldn't have. I parked across from Red Cow at this McDonald's. There is a hotel next door to this eatery. I saw folks parked here to head over to the hotel. I decided to do the same, but for Red Cow. I eventually did return to this McDonald's after having completed a road time down to northern Iowa. I ended up getting a couple of items before turning to the Twin Cities. Yep, I made a purchase and did a points redemption. I was a customer. It was more four hours later. I hit the drive-thru after having made my points redemption through the McDonald's app. I had points expiring at the end of September. I got the following items: - Double cheeseburger - Genshin impact - apple pie At the drive-thru, I rattled off my order code. The man on the other end of the speaker found it and said that I could come up to the window. It didn't take long for my food to be handed over to me in a paper bag. I thanked the man and continued to drive north, back to my hotel in Bloomington. I had the apple pie after dinner I got Chinese food at my favourite eatery in Rochester. I enjoyed this apple pie. It was different than the apple pie that you get in Canada. This one had a lattice design and was less doughy. It had sugar around the edges. The apple pie filling was generous and not overly sweet. I had the double cheeseburger for breakfast. It heated up well in the microwave. Breakfast of champions... haha! There's something about processed cheese with pickle slices, mustard, and ketchup, slapped between two burger patties that makes this double cheeseburger enjoyable. Maybe it's because I don't normally get it and it was more satisfying to eat when you splurged getting it with points. It was nice visiting this McDonald's that I didn't know existed until I headed over here for Red Cow. I'd return again when I am craving McD's. (402)

I ended up getting a combo burger meal, some cheese curds, and cookies and cream custard. The burger was delicious. The thing that took me by surprise was the breaded, deep-fried cheese curds. These were so flavorful. Imagine the best deep fried cheese stick you've ever had and multiply that by four as there is four times as much surface area to coat with that delicious breading. The custard was also fantastic. It's like a McDonalds blizzard, but creamier and more flavorful.

This one, which is listed under several monikers ("Seth's Down Under...", etc.) turned out to have excellent food. My husband and I both opted for burgers, for which there were numerous options, some quite unusual. I wasn't bold enough to order the Juicy Lucy with peanut butter, but I did get the one with an overeasy egg cooked into the upper half of the bun. The meat was very tasty and well-seasoned with what appeared to be steak seasoning--cracked black pepper, coriander, probably toasted garlic and onion powder. The burger came with a generous side--a full-sized basket of tater tots, nicely crispy on the outside and enough to share. Fortunately, Wednesdays are "burger nights," during which you can order a burger without a side for a discounted price ($12 rather than $15) and also get a discount on your second drink (not applicable, as I had a soda and my husband had just water). My husband had the Salty Dog burger (sour cream, provolone cheese, chopped green olives) sans side; he said it was good, but "a bit busy." Service was good--friendly, helpful, but attentiveness dwindled toward the end of our meal, resulting in drinks running dry. The ambiance is rather lacking--the floors are cement and the ceilings low, so it is LOUD when there are other people in the restaurant, but it the restaurant also makes no pretense of being anything other than a basement burger/beer joint. It is clean and well-lit, with several strategic large-screen TVs showing sports. Not romantic, but the eats are really good.

The food bar was clean, fresh good selection. The not good is the sauce section and the cooking. I feel the sauce is watered down and premixed to give a flavor profile a name. They suggest at least 7 ladles to get flavor. Other grills have a separate sauce you can create your own flavor profile. I did get a good heat from the sauce but no flavor or dark color. I tried 4 times. The cooking is rushed and not cooked down in my opinion not mixed well. The vegetables are firm and not softened. We did enjoy the experience but that's over and will not return.
