I'll come…read moreback to give them a best out of 3 The first time here I was so comforted by the truffle fries and their signature burger. I don't know what happened this last time but it didn't taste as fresh and came out a little warm. Oh but definitely don't skip out on their bacon wrapped curds. I forgot to order them this last time and boy did I regret it... I love the vibe, a bit of a classic diner joint with modern touches. The menu is fairly simple and straightforward with some twists. Service is friendly! I would recommend anyone to try them out. I will revise after my third visit, hopefully adding more compliments!

This was our first time trying out Mac's Diner and we came specifically for Minnesota Burger Week…read more When we arrived it was very busy, which I thought was a good sign for it being a random Wednesday evening. Unfortunately the area around the host stand is very cramped and made for some awkward standing and shuffling as people walked in and walked out. I was very impressed by the staff, especially the hostess who was always kind to everyone while working very hard to help clear tables, sit guests, and manage the wait list. Our waitress was very kind and helpful as well during our meal! Unfortunately, I was not a big fan of our food though, we both ordered the Curd Your Enthusiasm smashburger, which was a limited offering for Burger Week and featured cheese curds, spicy mayo, bacon, and cheese. The burger itself looked amazing and was a lot of food for the price, but the taste just wasn't there. The cheese curds and fries on the side had an old oil taste and the burger had an off taste that I couldn't quite place. It wasn't awful by any means and we both ate a good deal of our food, but neither of us would be interested in ordering it again. I got the feeling that we came on an unusually busy night and that they weren't staffed well enough to handle the crowd so I only took off one star for the food. Overall, I feel like our experience may not be what the standard experience is and I appreciate the staff working so diligently and being kind in their interactions. While the food was not to our liking this time, I would be open to coming again on a slower night and giving them another try!

Overall Score: 3.5/5 Solid spot for a Chicago-style fast…read morefood fix. Messy, greasy, and flavor-forward in the way you want. Food [2.5/3] Let's talk flavor and execution. Philly Sandwich Steak - This was a well-built sandwich. The onions, peppers, steak, and cheese came together in a cohesive mix, so each bite included a little of everything rather than feeling uneven or scattered. The cheese melted into the filling nicely, acting almost like a binder that brought the flavors together. The roll looked oversized at first, but its soft, airy texture created an excellent meat-to-bread ratio. My only criticism is that the beef seemed slightly overcooked, which introduced a touch of dryness. That may vary from sandwich to sandwich, but it was noticeable here. The sandwich can feel a bit heavy bite-after-bite. Italian Beef Sandwich with The Works - "The Works" included hot peppers, dipped in broth, and American cheese. Presentation-wise, this sandwich did not make the best first impression. The pale roll and heavily soaked exterior were not especially appealing visually, and with the extra dip, this is absolutely a sandwich best eaten fresh on-site rather than taken to go. But the first bite changed everything. The jus soaked into the bread and delivered a rush of flavor, while the beef was sliced and portioned in a way that made every bite feel substantial and satisfying. The giardiniera brought welcome heat and acidity, cutting through the richness and keeping the sandwich from feeling too heavy. The American cheese stayed in the background, but that actually worked to the sandwich's advantage by allowing the broth and beef to remain the focal point. This was the standout item, and easily the reason I would return. Cheese Curd - These were lightly battered, which let the cheese take center stage. For a fast-food setting, they were quite good and better than expected. Breaded Mushrooms - These are good if you miss and crave breaded mushrooms. Biting into these, one would expect a hot oily broth to flow out adding to the mushroom flavor, but there was no broth and the mushroom flavor was light. The marinara type sauce didn't pair well, so I did get a side of ranch to dip these in. Would order these again only if I crave bread mushrooms. Service[1/1] Service was exactly what it needed to be for a fast-food restaurant: prompt, clear, and helpful. The cashier took my order efficiently, clarified the available add-ons for the Italian beef, and responded well when I asked for a water cup. When I came back for ranch, he accommodated that request without issue. It was not full-service dining, nor should it be judged as such, but it met the standard for good quick-service hospitality. Atmosphere/Ambiance[0/1] The dining area is functional but not inviting. Seating is limited to a handful of booths and a small round table, and while the tables had been cleared, they were not especially clean. Flickering menu boards added to the worn fast-food feel, and the steady presence of people coming in to use the ATM created a somewhat distracting atmosphere. It gets the job done, but ambiance is not part of the appeal here.

The rice and beans on the side were great too but had to order separate from the tacos, and of course I had to pair everything with a Lime Jarritos.

Definitely one of those places where it's going to be hard to convince myself to order anything besides the birria next time. If you're craving Mexican food, this place is 100% worth checking out.

However, here was perfect at 70% sweet, less ice. We tried one with the soy pudding, a new topping. They were kind to let us sample it. it's really good I don't think we've seen us on the menu anywhere else in the US. We did not try the boba today, but will keep going and update! UPDATE: tried the brown sugar milk tea as well- super good and not too sweet at regular sweet level. Boba is good texture and flavor Their baked goods are delicious! Today got the shredded pork bun. My only wish is that you could order a plain milk tea without getting charged for a topping.
