The Burger Monarchy: A Paradox of Plenty in Miesville In the quiet, 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.

The choices for burgers are amazing! I was there in the middle of the afternoon so it wasn't super busy. I was seated right away and was waited on in a timely manner. I will definitely go back. My America's Best Burger was great tasting. I'm glad they have a roll of paper towels on the table because the burger was messy read more

Heard about this place on KQRS, so made a road trip to check out the burgers. The place was hopping at 1pm Saturday afternoon. We sat at the bar and had great service. Tried the cheese curds and fried pickles for appetizers- came with delicious homemade ranch for dipping. Got the Rundown and Queen burger with waffle fries and tots to try the different options. I loved the Rundown burger - so refreshing for a summer burger. The tots came with cheese dip - yum! Saw another person order a Bloody Mary and had to give that a whirl. They home make the mix and make them spicy or not to order. The place is broken up into different rooms which made for a more intimate atmosphere while also being able to serve a lot of folks. read more

This place has been in my radar for a while with its reputation as one of (if not THE) best burger joints in Minnie. Naturally, I brought my burger aficionado sister along to enjoy. I had high hopes with it being a 2 hour round trip journey for a Saturday afternoon lunch. First things first - you can tell this place is really popular! The parking lot was full and there was no shortage of new arrivals during our time there. We were seated quickly cuz we ate outside at one of the two picnic bench spots (they don't have much of a patio/outdoor seating). I would say this is one place where it is definitely worthwhile to seek out the menu before you go. It is an epic list of burger combinations ranging from the traditional to the down right weird. We split four burgers between us - the Harvest, Bench, Umpire, and the special (the "Boom Boom burger"). Overall, I would say this place slings above average burgers. Some of the combos were great, where others didn't seem like something we would try again. The fries were a slam dunk - both the regular and the waffle - and the ranch was clutch. Would I go back if I was in the Miesville area? Absolutely. Would I drive an hour one way for another burger - probably not. read more

Had a casual weekend lunch here. King's always has a great burger and many flavors to choose from. The burgers come with chips but their upgradable sides are worth it! The waffle fries were crispy and the onion rings with ranch were very tasty. Service was slow but I think they forgot to put in our order. Food was worth the wait and the portions were substantial! Will definitely go back again! read more

The hype is real! So many burgers (over 100), all of which looked fantastic and made it tough to choose. I went with the Harvest burger, which came with mac and cheese poppers, gouda, pulled pork, fried onions, and a bourbon sauce that actually tasted like bourbon. Paired excellently with the seasoned fries. The service was a bit slow but that's understandable with it being a busy Saturday. Love the small town charm of the place and will have to come back. read more

Have been wanting to give this place a try for a while after seeing a story about them on the local news many moons ago. Was in the mood for a burger so suggested a little drive down to King's. First off to note, the menu is overwhelming. I can guarantee if there is a combo of ingredients you want, they can make it happen. All of the different burgers have baseball name references, a tip of the cap to the Mudhens, which play across the street. I had a burger with marinara sauce, onions, and peppers, kind of like a hot dago. I would have liked a little more sauce, but it was still yummy. The potato salad was also great. Will definitely be back again! read more

Wonderful experience, greeted right away by an amazing staff, great teamwork! Very extensive burger menu with tons to read through. Started with deep fried Mac n cheez bites, very tasty! The variety of burger options are endless, lots of tasty combinations, also got a side of fries. Look forward to getting back for more fun and delicious food. You won't be disappointed! read more

We barely beat the lunch rush on a January Saturday--this place is popular! The atmosphere is cozy with lots of wood paneling, TVs quietly tuned to sports, and bar tap handles decorating the low walls. Do be aware, this is not a health food restaurant. This is a place where most everything can or will be deep fried and served with ranch on the side--and it'll be delicious. Service was fantastic throughout our visit. The guy understood that the menu is HUGE and we'd need some time to decide! For our appetizers, we ordered cheese curds and smoked gouda macaroni balls. Both were excellent, piping hot, and cheesy in distinct ways. I ordered a chicken pesto sandwich; the chicken breast was perfectly cooked, flavorful and moist, and the bread and seasonings were great. Basic ridged potato chips came alongside. My son ordered a regular grilled cheese and the upgraded seasoned fries; I snagged a fry, which was done in a criss-cut style, and though it was especially tasty. He ate his entire meal, which doesn't often happen. My husband ordered a spicy hamburger and the seasoned fries as well, and really enjoyed his meal. Our check came out promptly and we were quickly taken care of, which was much appreciated. I'd definitely come here again with my family, and this would be a wonderful place to bring company for some good Minnesota cookin'. read more

Ambiance is super cool, cabin themed in the area we were sitting in. Service was good, the guy busing seemed miserable. He didn't even smile or say hi when taking our plates! For food we got the frickles, Jalapeño poppers and I got the pop fly burger. The appetizers were delish! Homemade ranch always has my heart. The burger was disappointing. It had bbq sauce, pulled pork, cheese and bacon. The pulled pork seemed to taste reheated, which was a bummer. I also asked for crispy onion and didn't get them on it. (Same with someone else in our party) I'll definitely be back, but will try something different. read more

Enjoyed delicious burgers with a group of friends at lunch time. Service was great. Ambiance lively.

Friend A: I had the squeeze play: "The combination of an egg, bacon, PB and Spicy Mayo, with even some lettuce to make me feel healthy, was killer. Fantastic flavor profile and really nice bite. I would have preferred more peanut butter to shine through and for the burger to be cooked a bit less but overall great. 7.7/10" Friend B: Aces burger w/ gluten free bun. Overall burger 4/5 stars, good spice (loved the olives). Gf bun 1.5/5 stars and better off not ordering with gf bun just go no bun. I had the Knight's Burger, which included bacon, sautéed mushrooms and onions, American cheese, lettuce, and mayo, served with fries. I thought the burger had the proper amount of each topping, allowing the flavors to blend perfectly without any one being overpowering. We went on a Sunday late afternoon, and the place was bustling with people. We were told there would be a 20-minute wait, and it was spot on. We were seated and taken care of very respectfully, with staff always asking if we needed anything despite the packed house. The food came out relatively fast, and we were all impressed with our orders. We will definitely be making a return in the future! read more

Took my girl to Miesville Friday night to a place I've been a few times, this was her maiden voyage. The menu has over 100 different ways to have a burger, she had something with a fried egg on it and said it was phenomenal. I had the "stats" burger which had pulled pork and bacon on there. It's a dive bar you would miss if you weren't looking for it but inside it is clean, has several televisions and decor hanging on the wall. Staff was friendly but our servers shift must have ended before we left, so I hope she still got some of the tip we left. No complaints from me, and we will be back. read more

Not a bad burger. Purposefully ordered a simple cheeseburger to see what the meat itself tastes like without all the fancy floof on it. I've driven past this place off-and-on for several years but never really gave it a second thought. Glad I finally stopped in instead of just driving by again. I'll be back with the family at some point. This is something out of our way and a bit of a drive but occasionally worth the drive in the end I think. Much like going to Lion's tap every four or five paydays since it's a bit out of the way too. Was a bit less expensive than I'd thought it might be for a tasty burger and some fries. read more

We wanted to come back and try some other burgers. One of us ordered a half pounder and the other a quarter pounder. Both burgers were very overcooked and dry. The Teammate had a good flavor but the burger itself was just too chewy and dry. Fries were hot and good. If the meat itself was more flavorful and cooked less we would love this place. But I just can't eat burgers well done. read more

We stopped by here on our way to Red Wing because my boyfriend loves it - when he said it was a burger joint he wasn't kidding! This place has a whole two-sides menu of burgers with and immense amount of topping combinations. As a naturally indecisive person - this was my nightmare! It was so hard to choose. We started out by sharing a large Oktoberfest beer. It was delicious and served in a giant jar - I loved it! The service here was also very good - with a couple of waitresses running around and helping each other. My boyfriend ordered the Big League, while I went with the Road Game - we both love bourbon sauce! Both burgers were absolutely delicious, and not too big or too small (I can normally only eat half a burger, but I finished this one!). The maple syrup on the Big League & pineapple on the Road Game were both tasty additions to make the burgers unique. For sides, we ordered the coleslaw & waffle fries with seasoned sour cream. The fries & coke slaw were very yummy - but the seasoned sour cream needed to be thawed or something - it was so thick it was almost hard, and it made it difficult to dip the fries. Overall - a must stop if in the area! read more

I don't get to frequent Kings Place, but every time I'm in the area I make a point to stop in for one of their many amazing burgers! They have around 100 different burgers to choose from! Some of them are quite odd, and of course they have the classics. Shown in this picture is the Perfect game (I think) with ham and hash brown, it was good but not as good as others I have had in the past. Not every burger can be a winner, but you can be sure to find one to your liking. Waffle fries with sour cream. This place is often packed with a line out the door, but they have been expanding to accommodate demand. Service has always been adequate and friendly, no complaints there. We sat next to the fireplace in the back room and it was a nice lunch. Be mindful to avoid the after church rush! read more

Best place to get a good burger!! They have 115 burgers on their menu! Inside feels like a nice small town bar/grill... which it is!! Parking is ok with a church next door for overflow. Lots of beers on tap and good bloody Mary's!! Wednesday they have burger flights, yes that is correct. If you in the south metro it's only a 20-30 minute drive. We can't wait to go back! read more

A delicious find! Tasty burgers, good choice of other sandwiches, and other sides. I ordered the knockout, (with barbecue sauce, onions, banana peppers). My companions ordered the King, the Knight and California. We had onion rings to start, with homemade ranch. The onion rings were tasty, but likely not homemade. The burgers were def homemade, and a reasonable size! I was worried they would be too small when I saw them delivered, but they are tasty and filling! read more

It has been hit or miss when I've gone here. They seem to always be short staffed and over worked. Hard for the wait staff to take care of us when they have so many tables. The food the first time was nasty, the second time was ok. This isn't a place I will go out of my way for. read more

Great burgers. Great environment. Friendly place and bustling. Lots of different beer and plenty of space.

It's worth the stop! Small town experience with a bigger and beer list that will appease anyone. Try to catch a mudhens game as well.

From St Paul, Kings is an approximate 45 minute drive. It's a fun road trip for an unique burger experience, for those that seek great burgers. At Kings, they boast 115 varieties, which almost creates choice choke. The service was attentive and prompt. read more

Mostly burgers; like 40 of more choices. I had the KING!! Excellent. Average size but outstanding flavor. Incredible prices. Super shakes. read more

Epic. I cannot get over this restaurant. There were literally 100 different burgers on the menu, all with creative topping combinations. I got a burger with breakfast sausage, hashbrowns, an egg, and nacho cheese on it and my boyfriend got the California blue. Both fresh and delicious, made right in front of us (we sat at the bar). Service was impeccable. The bartender was great and made the best bloody in the state. Everyone helped each other out and knew the regulars by name. It was an overall happy, positive vibe and just great place to be. I cannot wait to go back! read more

My son's high school teacher put this on our itinerary to Winona- "best burgers in Minnesota!" This was a small town bar and grill with an extensive burger menu. The service was super fast and super friendly and thorough. I enjoyed my salad and my son took the waitress's recommendation of a King's burger, upgraded to half pound, and that along with fries was the perfect amount for a 17 year old boy appetite. read more

King's Place is amazing! My boss told me about their burgers and popularity so my friend and I did a little sunny Saturday road trip. We went here about 1pm, totally busy and got on waitlist, while waiting a couple spots opened up at bar and we snagged them. It's a small town cabin feeling bar and restaurant. We ordered Colorado Bulldogs and they were refreshingly delicious. Bar tender very nice and attentive. Played a few pulltabs, no luck, so we ordered our food. We both had the PB&J burger and my friend upgraded her potato chips to waffle fries. Everything tasted wonderful. The buns,burgers, chips and fries were outstanding. Prices pretty average.

Okay, everything looked amazing on the menu! For starters, the deep friend broccoli cheese creations almost bring tears of satisfied delight to your eyes! Then you order your burger... Three of our party of four received what they ordered, and said it was positively delicious. One even went so far as to say it was the best chicken sandwich she had ever had (and it WAS very good!). But then: I received a mash up of my burger - a peanut butter, BBQ, bacon, pepper jack, haystack onion delight on lettuce- and another burger. So it had chipotle sauce, PB, bacon, banana peppers, pepper jack cheese, and raw onion on a bun. It wasn't my cup of tea. In summery: You just had an amazing burger/sandwich and you are lucky to have stumbled upon this gem! Just let the server know if it's wrong so you can get it fixed:) the server was nice and we were seated quickly, the bathrooms clean and it wasn't too noisy for easy conversation. read more
