    The ambiance is very chill, almost divey. Free popcorn, and a place for kids to run around. Lots of TVs if you want to look around. I thought it was great. The people were very pleasant and the burger was also great! We split fries and the kids love this place!

    Mr. Lebowski burger (vegan) with no tomatoes and added vegan bacon, plus a side of "seasoned" fries

    I really appreciate the number of vegan options on the menu, and the fact that you can do a full burger joint experience (burger, fries, and shake) vegan! As a vegetarian with an egg allergy, vegan options are often the safest for me. I got the Mr. Lebowski and added vegan bacon (and subtracted tomatoes) and a side of "seasoned" fries, and split the substantially sized chocolate shake with my husband, which seems like the way to go (it was a lot more than I was expecting, and is very, very sweet on top of being luxuriously thick). The fries are normal shoestrings with some seasoning lightly sprinkled over them, which was slightly disappointing, but not bad. My husband wasn't that hungry and just got some sides to go with the shake, and I got to try the broccoli, which we both enjoyed (but he kept the sweet potato fries to himself, LOL, so I assume they're pretty good). The location itself has a definite bar feel, and there is an outdoor "beer garden" area as well. The TVs don't have closed captioning (which might have been nice, as one of them had the Paris Olympics playing), and the music is rather loud (may consider take out next time we're in town and coming here), but the waitstaff is pretty nice and I appreciate the kiosk ordering system.

    Hot chips is a great place to visit and have a wonderful burger, best fries ever, and superb onion rings. This is our second visit here and it is hands down a fantastic burger joint with burgers that actually taste like burgers and not condiments. The fries and tater tots are the best we've had. Try this meeting place for a wonderful experience and easy going outdoor seating area or sit inside!

    The burgers here are amazing. You can build your own, or pick from a delicious selection on the menu. They also have a good variety of sides to add to your order. We love coming here in the summer to enjoy our meal on their outdoor patio. This is definitely our go-to place for a good burger in southern Minnesota.

    Second time being here (live an hour away) and wanted to try another new burger, this thing was a monster. Wasn't sure how to eat it so just dug in. About half way through I switched to a fork and finished it off, onions rings were solid too.

    This place was so fun! One of the order from QR CODE via phone, enter table number and the food is delivered to your table. Ambiance was a bit loud even though it was not very busy. We sat at a table and the QR codes were not working. They do have a kiosk to order from which is what we did. The food was really good and they have boozy shakes! So of course I had to try one. So delicious.

    "3. Call Me the Dude Burger and Small 9-5 Salad.
    Bob L.

    I travel to Rochester to visit family on a semi-regular basis, so I thought I'd give this place a try. It was a slower Saturday night, so it was easy to grab a seat at the bar. The beer selection was good and reasonably priced. Service was speedy and delivered with a smile. Moving to the meal, I chose the "Dude" burger with a small 9-to-5 side salad. The burger was good, but maybe not what I was expecting taste-wise. The salad was good and the used fried chickpeas to give it a crunch. Overall, I will likely give Hot Chip another try but with a different choice of burgers.

    I have flagged visiting Hot Chip Burger Bar for a while. On my last trip, I was fortunate to stop by Rochester a few times. On a Saturday afternoon, I dropped by for lunch. Hot Chip Burger Bar is located across from Trader Joe's, in the same large plaza. I had no problem finding a parking spot and backed into one. I walked in and it was busy. I looked over to my right and there was a Pac-man arcade game. I knew that I would love this place. A man greeted me. He asked if I was okay sitting at the bar. There wasn't a free table, so I went for it. I like when the bar area has hooks for your purses under the table. I knotted my crossbody's strap and used the hook to safely stow my purse as I ate. You get popcorn in a small plastic bowl as a starter. It was my second clue that I'd love this place. I love popcorn. It was freshly popped and delicious. I sat close to the theatre-style popcorn maker. Deadly! I resisted going over there to get seconds. The eatery has vegan options, from meatless burgers, to shakes. I was impressed. I ordered a Diet Pepsi. I was thirsty and loved how cold this beverage was. My server was extremely attentive and got me a refill roughly halfway through my meal. I looked at the chef's special on the menu and it was the poutine in my mouth burger. I had to have it to see how great the poutine part was. It makes sense for the Canadian to check out, right? I also got sweet potato tater tots. I love tater tots, but I've never had sweet potato ones before. It didn't take long for my order to arrive. I loved that I didn't get massive portions. They are made for normal human beings! I had a bite of my poutine in my mouth burger. OMG! Delicious! If I weren't in Rochester, this burger would pass as being a Canadian twist on a yummy burger. It had a four-ounce grass-fed beef patty, fries, gravy, cheese curds, mayo, and ketchup, all between a sliced, toasted egg bun. It was heavenly! The beef patty was juicy and seasoned nicely. It was cooked through, which I appreciated. The fries, gravy, and cheese curds were indeed as if you were consuming a mini poutine in every bite. The curds were likely from Wisconsin, which is a benefit of being next door to this state. The bun was perfectly toasted and soft. The sweet potato tater tots. You must get them. They were addictive and yummy. They were crispy on the outside, and naturally sweet and creamy on the inside. I still dream about them. If you like the 80's, the decor will make you happy. From seeing a Karate Kid poster on the wall, to Madonna's eyes touched up from her Express Yourself video to be cross-eyed on the women's washroom door, you'll love this place. The women's washroom was clean. There were well wishes written on the walls. Cool! When you come out of the washroom, there are a number of clocks on the wall. Winnipeg was nicely represented. I paid with a credit card. The transaction was seamless. I keep saying that when I lived it Rochester, it didn't have cool places. I moved away and it does, like Hot Chip Burger Bar. I'm glad that this place exists. Rochester is better for it. I had excellent food and a great experience. I'd return again for a casual, decent meal and my nostalgia fix. (139)

    1. Classic Burger
    Amy P.

    This is the best burger I've had in a long time, if not forever. Wow. I ordered the Classic #1 with a side of fries (they come seasoned). It comes with cheese, pickles, onions and WOW. This burger was so hecking good. I ate the whole thing even though I was super full. I also got a boozy shake (the one with vanilla and amaretto). It was very very good and would absolutely get it again. But that burger... I'm going to be thinking about that burger for a long time.

    Call Me The Dude (4/5)

    Delicious! Hot Chip has always been a place I wanted to try since living here and today was the day. It is centrally located near the Apache Mall / Trader Joe's and is considered 'the best burger in town'. We got there on a busy Saturday lunch and were greeted to a self-service system (probably Covid-19 protocol). Ordering off the computer was to the point and rather easy. Ordered - Call Me The Dude (4/5). This was a really good burger. Ordered it on a gluten free bun with no cheese and it was the right composition. For once, a burger felt light and I was able to finish it. The mushrooms added a nice touch to the burger Hot Chip is great. It's fast, made-to-order, and reasonably priced (~11-13 / burger + fries). cheers!

    Best milkshakes in town!! Fun flavors like cereal milk as well as your classic flavors - they even have some boozy ones. They have a really good burger, and you can customize to what you want. They keep allergies in mind and they have lots of vegan/vegetarian options. The space is fun, mainly tables for 2 and 4. Cool decorations, and a decent outdoor patio. Service was mostly self serve, you can order on your phone, or on ipads or you can ask for a server if you'd like. So whatever your group is most comfortable with - we ordered on our phone and it worked really well, fast and efficient. Staff was friendly and checked in, even though we ordered on the phone. They came around with water and to answer questions as needed!

    Looked a while for a place to have lunch. Finally settled on Hot Chip. So glad we did! Brioche Buns we extremely fresh and tasty. The burger was cooked to perfection. I did the build your own. The pickles and the rest of the produce were fresh and delicious. Only negative for me was it was a bit loud for my taste but it's ok I'm old.
