Classic diner, good food and welcoming staff! The booths are narrow and they are the kind that are attached to the table so it's not adjust. There are stools of a booth won't work. I'm 5'3 - 275 and it was a tight squeeze, not unbearable to me though. read more

Flameburger - the menu - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

They have breakfast specials before 11AM Monday thru Friday I like. The coffee is just okay. They got one waitress that works there some mornings that never seems to stop talking. Yap,yap,yap,yap, yap. Give me a break. read more

Anytime I'm in MN, my elderly uncle wants me to take him to breakfast at Flameburger- so that's what I do! Small mom and pop type of establishment, which gives waffle house vibes with the open kitchen. Food is always yum and portions are good for price point. Good ol' friendly, Midwest service- always a pleasure! This time I got a burger and no lie- might be one of the best I've ever had, it was just so good! Uncle enjoyed his big breakfast and didn't leave crumb behind! read more

The food was delicious! If you're looking for a really delicious, basic breakfast, this fits the bill. Definitely comfort food. The reason I gave it 4 stars is because the restaurant was very chilly inside on a sub-zero day. I wish it had been more comfortable in there. The refills were not frequent enough and we had to ask, which was a bit inconvenient as well. read more

Place was small, but Homie and it was full of people. The amount of food you get is Texas big and the food taste amazing the price makes it that much more delicious. I would definitely hit up the spot at least 2 to 3 times a year anything more than that I'm gaining in addition to 100 pounds for sure. read more

We had such a great meal here at an affordable price! Very nostalgic interior with counter seating as soon as you walk in or several booths to choose from, as well. My husband's hard to impress sometimes when it comes to food and when he scored his California burger a 10/10, I was so shocked & happy! My breakfast plate was perfect and I loved the pancakes! Very attentive, kind service, quick food, and a great value. We WILL be back! read more

Excellent food, casual atmosphere. I usually get their breakfast and I come here for lunch every once in a while. I highly recommend. read more

Flameburger - California with cheese Excellent burger highly recommended it ! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Kind service, straight forward food, simple yet nice space. Don't expect frills, bells, and whistles, but you will get wholesome food at a decent price. My partner and I both got The Ranch breakfast, which is a good value that's totally customizable. You choose your meat, the type of toast wanted, how you want your eggs, and whether you want hash browns or pancakes. Although we got the same item you can see how different it looks. I got the hot cocoa which was good and he enjoyed his coffee. There's several parking spots in the back, and it's along a bus route. If you're looking to try something new... why not. read more

Excellent service, great food, I love eating there. Breakfast open till close. Great seating

We stopped by on a whim and were glad we did. We both had a bacon cheeseburger. My husband had fries and we ordered a stack of pancakes. The burgers were flavorful...and surprisingly didn't leave us with a greasy, bloated feeling. The crinkled fries were good, and we have leftovers for the air fryer tomorrow. The pancakes were like we like them...thin, have a really good flavor. The syrup was spot on. All in all, worth a stop when you're in the mood for a burger or breakfast. Next time, we are going in the morning do I can try the country fried steak and eggs. Yum! read more

Flameburger - Cheeseburger with bacon...delish! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

This is my to go spot when I am craving for a fatty big burger. The vibe inside gives me an old school diner vibe which is awesome! My burger was about $17 that comes with fries. Yes, some may think that's expensive but the burger is huge! I was only able to eat half and then has to pack the other half to go. The quantity of the fries are a lot as well! This definitely filled my fatty juicy burger cravings! read more

This place has been a favorite for decades. The food is fantastic. This is the best place to get you "truck stop" style breakfast and a damn good hamburger. The service is always kind and the wait for food is never long. The restaurant is small and there can be a short wait, but it's worth it. Stop in and get yourself the ranch breakfast. You can thank me later. read more

Flameburger - Ranch breakfast with a side of pancakes - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Flameburger is a great place for when you want something tasty, greasy, and oh so filling. I spent many late nights here in my younger years, but it's just as good during the day. I recommend the grilled cheese and the toast. They have the world's best toast! read more

I loveeeeeee Falmeburger. It's iconic, it's delicious and it's inexpensive. I love how the restaurant gets decorated for different holidays/seasons too! I love bringing friends here to check it out. read more

I've always had breakfast here. Yesterday was the first time I tried a burger. My son has been telling me for a long time now, how great their burgers are. And he's a cook who has eaten everywhere in the Cities. He was right. Flameburgers cheeseburgers are the best in the Twin Cities! The way the flames shoot up when they flip them is fun to watch and you know you're getting something good. They must start with an honest-to-goodness 8oz patty because it was a big burger. (Not sure what kind of bun, although it wasn't the kind that leaves me feeling like a nap.) Burgers were cooked to order; medium was medium and well-done (not mine) was well-done. Two pieces of cheese (as the good Lord intended), real thick slices of bacon. And tons of fries. (Again, good Lord!) Service was great, everyone was friendly. As someone else said, "Absolutely the best"! read more

I love visiting the "hole in the wall" restaurant. It really brings me back to when I used to eat out in the 80's. Except no cigarettes lol. I got a 8oz bacon charbroiled flameburger. It was awesome. Great customer service. I would say it's comparable to Portillos. Great job guys! read more

My first time dining here. The burger was absolutely wonderful. Char broiled to medium as requested. My chocolate milkshake was one of the best that I've ever had. My only complaint is the $17.50 price tag. My burger came with grilled onions. If you take a quick glance at the photo, you'd probably not notice any onions on it. The scant amount that is present looks like a grill mark on the bun. But they don't toast the bun, so I assure you that's the onion. Is there a shortage on onions? Did onions raise significantly in price since the last time I visited the grocery store? read more

Flameburger - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

I love finding restaurants that keep it simple and "old school". The building itself screams that their cooking is close to home. I love that they have breakfast all day because who doesn't want a fried egg sandwich at 8pm. Highly recommend coming on a first date, with your family, or simply if you're in the mood for some good eats! read more

Absolutely the best. Old school, decades old grill. The only people who bitch about a restaurant like this are the little wussy pansies who want their fingernails polished when they go out to get something to eat. If you're looking for a real food this is it but otherwise stay away. read more

Stopped by Flameburger, it was pretty busy, per usual. Only my second time here. First time i had breakfast and it was pretty good. This time I had a burger and fries. Food: Made the way I asked, but the burger patty just didn't really have any flavor - must be a MN thing, but once i got to some seasoning.. it was the perfect burger. Their crinkle cut fries were perfect, once i added some salt on them, as well. Service: My server was extremely nice and efficient and top of it. There were ONLY 2 employees there (1 cook and 1 waitress); it was roughly 3am. I had just left a boat cruise in St. Paul. As they finished my food, they were polite enough to let patrons know that it would be about a 30 minute turn around on food, since it was only 2 employees. No one complained or were mad. You gotta respect that type of upfront service and we all know we came for their food and it's apparently worth it. Ambiance: Suuuuper old fashioned looking in there. It looks like some old school dinner. When i think of Flameburger, i think of some up to date spot like Sonics or something. I guess you can't judge a book by it's cover, you'd miss out a good read. I'll be back eventually; it's just so far out of my way. I'm glad they are back on my radar though. They have good breakfast! read more

Funny that I haven't been in one of Flameburgers two locations in the Twin Cities: 1) I've lived there a couple times, and 2) they are the kinda place I seek out, greasy spoon burgers and breakfasts, open 24 hours (except for 3 hours Sunday nite). One of my nieces wanted me to check this place out, she thought I go for one of the two multi-pound burgers on the menu, the one pound mega, or the three pound ultimate mega. Flameburger also has a few entrees, fried fish, a steak, soup and shrimp. For a middle of the night burger or breakfast, hit the Flameburger, an iconic Twin Cities diner. Nothing special, other than it's there when you need it to be. read more

I stopped into Flameburger with a group of bro's this past weekend. I let the boys choose where to eat because I was down for anything. It was around 2:00am when we got there, so I had a very big appetite. Here's what I gathered: Even this late at night, the place was far from empty. Most of the tables were filled with customers as was the counter (we chose to sit here given our large group). This showed me that this place is both well known and loved. It made me even more eager to try the food. The ambiance is lacking but they work with what they have. The building is outdated, and isn't spick and span, but I did notice one of the cooks wiping down all of the countertop next to me, so they do care about their business. I think it would benefit them to include renovations in their future plans, but hey, maybe they like it the way it is. Most people don't seem to mind. The Easter decorations they had up were darling (I even found a plastic Easter egg right before me, so that was a cute surprise). The waitress who took our orders was a delightful person. Even at 2:00am, she seemed to be on top of things and her energy was very apparent to me. She checked back in on us after meals arrived, and was attentive to our group. I ordered the 5 oz. steak, two eggs, and toast. People who know me, know I don't like toast, so I gave that away to my boyfriend (like always). My boyfriend ordered the Ranch Breakfast ($8.95) and all of his friends opted for their famous Flameburgers. My choice in steak let me down. I wasn't craving a burger, but I couldn't help but think maybe that would've been a better choice. The steak was flavorless. I ordered it well done, and although it was well done, I was not satisfied because it didn't taste like anything. I let my boyfriend try a bite, and he agreed with me. They gave a generous amount, but nothing about the meat had me sold. The hash browns were delicious, and the eggs (sunny side up) were too. My boyfriend enjoyed his meal though as did his friends. The pancakes he got looked hearty and filling. The boys loved the burgers, and I swear they ate them in a heartbeat. They were instantly gone, and once again, I felt like the slowest eater in the history of the universe (I'm ALWAYS the last to finish my food). All in all, Flame burger wasn't bad but I may have to revisit and try one of their burgers since I know that's their specialty. I don't recommend the steak (wasn't worth $9.50), but their hashbrowns made up for it. Although the service was great, one thing did bother me right before we left. A homeless lady came in and sat down next to me. She asked for some water, and our waitress gave her the smallest cup of water. She gave her a cup that you would give to a small child. The water had no ice in it, and she finished the water in a gulp. This broke my heart. I offered to get her more water, but I could tell she was shy, and declined, but thanked me. I felt guilty as I looked at my tall glass of iced water. People should be treated with more courtesy than this. I'm not sure if there was a reason as to why the lady was treated this way, but I left feeling like I should've said something. read more

This is a solid place of you are out and about at 2am looking for greasy goodness served in the form of hash browns and bacon. I've literally only been here in the middle of the night and every time I stop in I order two eggs over easy, bacon, toast, and hash browns extra crispy with grilled onions. Flameburger is extremely consistent so you can count on a good meal every time you come in. The waitresses always have great attitudes no matter the time of day and make you feel like you belong there. It almost feels like walking into the only a diner in a small town. Flameburger is in no way fancy or foodie friendly but it serves some mean breakfast items. Sometimes they have chicken fried steak which is like a million calories of fat and carbs but definitely worth the five minutes or pure heaven when you take the first couple of bites. Don't come here expecting a five star dining experience...instead, look forward to some delicious hash browns and fun people watching. read more

This place is as classic as the great burgers and fries the serve. I visit this place usually in the evenings with friends when we have the munchies and everywhere else (save a sub par Sonic or McD's) is closed. The Ranch Breakfast is the best bang for your buck breakfast to order on the menu. Do not pass up those hash browns, extra crispy is how I like mine. For burgers, you really can't go wrong with any of them. They cook your burger to your preference and serve it with some great fries. I usually get a side of onion rings with mine because they always give you a massive plateful! Often times, I love coming here and getting a shake and fries. The service here is always good. The waitresses or waiter are always kind and sociable. This is a casual genuine diner that has been the same since the 80's. Recently, I brought my mother here and she hasn't been here in over 30 years and she confirmed that the great service, quality food and set up hasn't changed a bit! Whether you're up late or up early, this is a great late night diner that never fails to please! read more

Flameburger - April 20th 2017. I dont know how managed to eat these onion rings, this 1 lb burger and cheesy onion hashbrowns (best Ive ever had here) - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

I'm biased here... 40 years of what I repeat every time I enter is: "Platter Hash Dark Medium Rare, coffee, honey". I could write a few chapters of stories about this place and it's founders place on Snelling and Larp. (which is now another friends greek place), but I'll stick to one thing. HASH BROWNS. Can't beat em anywhere at any time... period. This little diner has been redone with new interior (but you'ld never know it). A greasy spoon will always look and smell like a greasy spoon. I took a mega pastor here for breakfast one morning and when I said it will be the best you've ever had but be sure to wipe your silverware, he burst out laughing. Yes, you might have to rewipe your table from the prev. butter spilled, but for 24hr. breakfasts.. like described above (which is called a Flameburger Platter and Platter JR), It doesn't get better and I've eaten at most truckstops from San Diego to Maine. Truck Drivers know the Flameburger:) All my children were served the "mickey cake" as kids ( a three pancake mickey mouse looking cake with whipped cream for eyes and mouth.) My first "platter" was in 1974. Now I'll admit I've had bypass surgery, but swear to god they did not find Flameburger in those arteries... Just sayin. Take a best friend or adult child there and enjoy the past. Yes, I could name a half dozen other cool old breakfast places in the twin cities that I like, but, we all have to have one favorite. Thank you faithful Forrester family for a lifetime of Flames. Now the 1lb hamburger? Do not even try, it's just wrong. And after 1AM its the local drunk get sober hang out.. enter with eyes wide open:) How much do I trust their Platters? I ordered 50 platters one night for the 49'er football team staff and media in the 90's at 1am on a Sat. night before a Sunday game. Yes, they shut down the grills for my order and we used two two wheelers to take them back to our hotel to be eaten with $100.. Napa Cabernets.. I did drop 50yard line tickets by the next morning for the cooks:) Long live the Flame... read more

This is your typical greasy spoon, and there's nothing wrong with that! I've never been disappointed and always leave with a doggy bag. Food cooked on an open grill, classic burger fare and mountains of decent fries. It's easy on the wallet, and easy on the ambiance but if you came here for ambiance you're new to this planet. We live close by so we stop in once a month or so... Would we go out of our way to eat here? No... but only because there are so many similar diners on every block. I'm glad this one is on my block though! Honorable mention to the servers. They are salt of the earth type people. Attentive and not overly chatty which I really appreciate. Also they are open 24 hours which is cool! (except for Sunday at 2pm - Monday 6am.) read more

Who says you can't have it all? It's greasy food, it's open 24hours and it's exactly what you need to sober up at 4:00 am, If you plan to show up for work at 8. Yeah, who says you can't have it all? Counter diner, retro booths and chairs scattered all around, it's one of the few true old American diners left around. Great burgers, great atmosphere with an even greater filling. Greasy food is never good for any of us but than again it's all a horse race towards death. read more

Flameburger is that place that you can really only hope to pass by when you are on your way home from a late night of bar hopping, or from sober cabbing all your drunk friends home. It's the late night space that serves delicious greasy spoon food 24 hours a day! The menu is not super expansive, but there are more than enough selections on there for everyone to get exactly what they want! I would however steer clear from anything over a 1/3lb burger, they are super heavy and usually not a good idea when you have had a few cocktails ;-) The staff has to act as both the cooks/servers as well as bouncers, so if things get out of hand, which can happen, just duck and wait for it to end. I would actually take the plate down with you, nothing says awesome conflict resolution like the rest of your burger! Honestly I'm probably there a little too often, but it's so delicious! read more
