Patty wagon is right next to a sports bar with shared parking so it can get a bit tight in the parking lot but plenty of street parking available. Looks like there are daily specials/activities (see pic). When we walked in, we were greeted by the host who was our server and everyone's else server also, so clearly they seemed a bit short staffed as the poor gal was running around everywhere including pouring drinks at the bar. There is a jukebox and some claw machines to spend time on while you wait on your food so we did have an entertaining time perusing through the place. The food itself was ok, milkshakes were mid-ish (chocolate one was a bit too strong, never thought would ever say that in my life) also. The menu is fairly standard for a bar/restaurant. We did enjoy the cheese sticks as the breading on them was not standard/out of box and tasted really good so would recommend. It's a bar/hangout spot so unfortunately the bathrooms reflected that :( with being a bit dingy. With that being said, we are planning on revisiting on either trivia or bingo night soon and will update the review after that. read more

We were disappointed by some inconsistencies between the information on the website and our actual experience. The prices listed online were off by $2-$3 on nearly every item, which was frustrating when planning our family's visit. The website also advertises a 25% military discount, so we brought our family expecting to receive the discount. We were surprised to find out that it only applies to those currently in uniform. I think this should be made much clearer on the website to avoid confusion and disappointed customers. The food itself was decent, and our server was friendly and provided good service. However, the pricing and discount discrepancies made the overall experience frustrating. I would encourage management to update the website so the information accurately reflects current prices and clearly explains the military discount requirements. That would go a long way toward setting accurate expectations for customers. read more

Restaurant was not clean. Tables were all dirty even for the ones we were to be sat at. We asked for it to be cleaned, server came over and wiped table and seats down with a soaking wet towel and didn't dry it. She expected us to sit on completely wet seats. I asked for her to dry it off and she did. There was only one other table in there and service was still lacking. Food was fine. My medium burger was cooked WELL DONE but the fries were crispy as I requested. We were charged an additional $1.50 for Mayo on my burger. Without warning. What the heck kind of nonsense is that? $1.50 for mayo for a sandwich. Without saying something is especially ridiculous. I grew up in this neighborhood and was visiting on a trip from out of state. It was a pretty disappointing experience. read more

Patty Wagon - Burgers Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Tried something new. It was an experience that I may consider giving another chance...POSSIBLY. I had a toss up of interest between a turkey burger and pollock fish sandwich. I ordered the fish and chips because it offered more fish and I could share with my daughter if she wanted some in addition to her kids meal. The fish sandwich was like $13 and the fish and chips was $16 then it was a $2 up charge for waffle fries. I asked for the bread that came with the fish and chips was not informed about the up charge about any item except the waffle fries. I get my bill and was charged $4 for the torpedo grilled roll. What the f!!! That is a charge that definitely needs mentioning. I was pissed and would have just ordered the fish sandwich because I spent more on the fish and chips with a d*** piece of bread. Livid. The food...my daughter had the kids meal chicken breast with oranges and some apple juice. Reasonable kids menu $8. The quantity of oranges was pretty small in comparison to how much they would have offered for fries I am sure. The seasoning was cool on it. Now my food. My my I should have taken a photo. The food took awhile to come out and only to come out and be old looking fish. It looked like fish that had been cooked and under a light for too long where it was too brown. Not golden brown but like a chocolate brown in some places. The fries were the same. Then again that $4 roll. Not a great food experience. I forgot the young man I had as services provided but he was pretty darn bubbly and he was shocked at the $4 fee too. He was stellar service. Oh and the young lady that hosted the trivia mania on Wednesday nights. Service was good so would consider again BUT D*** FRESH FOOD ON EVERYTHING. read more

Patty Wagon - Daily Specials - Burgers Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Although I've been to Tailgate numerous times I never stopped in Patty Wagon until last night. Attempted to go next door with my boys and there was a meat raffle/ too noisy for the kids liking. They opted for Patty Wagon instead and I don't regret it. Service was great, the double porky burger was surprisingly good, and the boys enjoyed their food. All in all good experience! read more

Everything was excellent from the food to the customer service. The pricing is appropriate and you get a lot for your money. Mindy made the experience pleasant and gave us a few suggestions from the menu that she enjoys. The grilled buffalo sandwich was a decent size and I appreciated how much sauce was on it. The patty melt was crunchy and not overdone. The mozzarella sticks hit and reminded us of Arby's. They offer trivia, bingo and karaoke on weeknights. i will definitely be back. read more

Sat down in this restaurant for the first time order their burgers to go and they were great but we decided to go there for breakfast and ordered really great food their breakfast sausages I don't know where they get them they were a little secretive about who they get them from but they were the best sausages I think I've ever had for breakfast the server Grady was amazing and Guillermo the cook got us our food in under 10 minutes eggs were perfect potatoes were incredible great experience love this place read more

The food is fine & well priced for what you get, I would have likely come back if it wasn't for the erratic service. There were two servers bouncing between all the tables & our drinks were consistently empty. We had to go up to the bar multiple times to get served. We asked for a pitcher of water on three separate occasions, never received it. Both servers would disappear for 10+ mins. Both of our bills were incorrect. Outside the service, there was a huge shifts from very family/kid heavy from 5-6 to more of a bar after 7, but still carried the family restaurant aesthetic. The parking lot is pretty tight, but there's plenty of street parking. read more

Stopped in Saturday, 12/21/24 for a later lunch and received a warm greeting from Mindy. She appeared to be the only one working and was a bit busy when we walked in, but did not hesitate to acknowledge us and let us know she'll be with us. I have to say that goes a long way in my book and talk about excellent customer service skills. When she was ready, she sat us at our table of choice and gave us a few of her favorites on the menu. We went with the mozzarella sticks for our appetizer which were very good. I loved how light and thick cheese they were. For our meals, we ordered the grilled buffalo chicken sandwich and the patty melt with extra onion and extra pickle, and cheddar cheese. The entire meal was good. It's enough food to have leftovers for another time. I love how bright and colorful the restaurant is. It's fun themed inside. I was too full to try it, but they offer some fun milkshakes. Some of them look huge and scrumptious. They also offer trivia and bingo some night of the week. Mindy is an excellent waitress and made for a wonderful first experience. I'll be back for the jalapeño poppers! read more

We went to the Patty Wagon because it was near an event we were going to. It turned out to be a location we've been before -- but, back then, it was a Mexican Restaurant. Now, it's a bar/hamburger joint. The prices are excellent and the food was good. My wife had a plain hamburger and I had their V8 hamburger. The V8 includes swiss cheese, tomato, lettuce, onion, and thousand island dressing. As requested, the hamburger was rare and the thousand island dressing was served on the side. The hamburger was a bit drippy and required two napkins, but that was to be expected with all of the toppings. It came with skin-on fries which were excellent and had a good taste. The burger is normally $8.95, but since it was Thursday, all burgers were $8.00 -- an even better deal. The service was friendly and I received a pop refill without even asking for it, which is always appreciated. Although this is far from "fine dining" it certainly is a good value place for bar food if you are in the area. read more

Stopped in as it came up on our way home. I'm glad we did. It was so good and the prices are amazing. I can't believe it wasn't busier, but there is a sports bar next door and not a lot of parking, so I imagine that is part of the issue. But if you get a chance, do stop in. The place is worth it. I know if we are in the neighborhood, we will stop in. read more

We went for brunch today. Big mistake! Waited about 15 minutes for someone to acknowledge and take our order. while waiting a group of people came and started setting up for a San Francisco football watch party. it became very loud and obnoxious! finally got our drinks but no water like I had requested. I asked at least 4 times for water none was ever served. They brought us forks but no knives said they didn't have a dishwasher. food was ok but the loud football party had the sound turned up real loud and couldn't even have a conversation. This is not your typical sports bar so if this is to become a regular thing we won't ever be back. the manager did come by and apologized for the loudness and lack of service. He gave us a discount on our meal. I don't plan on going back. read more

It was busy, server was friendly, the food came out quick but wasn't great. None of our fries were not hot and they were limp. We ordered three different chicken sandwiches and two burgers. Two of the things we ordered were wrong but they were busy so we just ate them. The food was ok but honestly I don't think I'd go back. read more

I ordered 3 take out meals today 7/13/25 and was VERY disappointed by the food. Both french fry orders were burnt. The 2 burgers were overcooked and dry and the moisture from the bag and the carry out containers made the food wet. My money island dog had so much cheese on top, i had to take it off. The young man that took my order was great and I felt bad for him, because for most of my wait he was working all food orders by himself. He deserved his tip!! In end, for what I paid for my order it was not worth it at all!! Patty Wagon, do better!!!!!! Not to report in the ambulance. read more

Service was slow. Waited 15mins to place a to-go order. Waited another 35 mins for a burger, tots and curds. Curds were bland and flavorless. When asked if the tots were soggy or crispy, the employee said the tots were soggy so I ordered them crispy. They taste burnt. The stuffed burger I ordered was supposed to have bacon on it on it and had nothing. Food was just warm- not hot! They had the opportunity to fix the situation and 5 employees who knew I had been waiting did nothing. $35 for crap food. Do not recommend! ****EDIT After I started eating my food, I realized they gave me the wrong burger! I ordered the cheddar bacon burger and they gave me a burger with blue cheese in it. After all that time, they didn't even serve me the right main entree! I call the restaurant and spoke with manager Travis. I demanded a full refund. He stated that he will refund my whole meal and wanted to send me an additional gift card for what happened. I provided my address. We will wait and see if anything shows up. read more

Patty Wagon - Life savings $$$$ - Burgers Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Went about 8pm on a Saturday night. They were understaffed so the service was a little slow, but the wait staff was super polite and friendly. The three of us all had burgers. My wife had the one with the bacon jam, which she really loved. My burger with the chipotle mayo and the onion ring was also good. (Order extra chipotle mayo). The standout item for all of us, though, were the fries. Really good. My son also got a side of Ranch and their ranch is really good. Small parking lot, but worth the hassle. Go check it out. read more

We went for breakfast on memorial day. Ref flag should have been that only 2 tables had customers. The service was ok. The girl was competent but seeing how slow it was she was off doing prep most of the time. The real meat of the issue was the actual food. It was TERRIBLE. The waffle was clearly made of bisquick instant mix, and the chicken tenders were hard, clearly came out of a box as well. The omelet my partner got had frozen gyro meat, raw spinach, and canned mushrooms in it. The iced coffee was also extremely bitter. I had high hopes but will never spend money on a place that can't even make their chicken tenders fresh. Don't bother unless you're wanting a cheap burger or gross coffee. read more

Patty Wagon - Receipt for subpar breakfast - Burgers Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Don't order delivery. The order was delivered an hour late, was cold, missing part of it. I called the restaurant and was told they would be refunding us $20 and never saw the refund. The burger was good, but would never order from here again. read more

Big wings!! Stopped by for lunch on a Saturday. Restaurant was completely empty, which was nice. We received great service! Sports bar so they had TVs playing. The atmosphere was nice overall. From reading other peoples reviews and looking at the menu they are known for their burgers. I don't eat beef so I'm always hopeful that sport bars have good chicken wings. I ordered buffalo wings and fries. The wings were big, I didn't really care for them though. If I'm completely honest, they needed seasoning. Cooking unseasoned meat and throwing sauce on it does nothing. Chicken with no seasoning has no flavor. Throwing buffalo sauce on unseasoned cooked meat doesn't give it flavor. The fries were good (it's hard to mess up potatoes). Prices were reasonable here! They offered a lot on their menu which is nice. The waiter was nice. read more

If I could give a lower rating I would. I ordered a "three-stack" of French toast. I laughed when the food arrived at my table. The "three-stack" was simply just 3 bread pieces the size of a slice of baguette. Keep in mind that this is priced at $11. I don't advise anywhere to go here but if you do, get a kids meal because it's going to be the same amount of food. Better yet, just don't go here. Food was bland on top of being overpriced with ridiculously small serving sizes. Everything was cold too. 40$ down the drain. read more

Came in for breakfast. First timers. The server working was dismissive and rude. We were sat at a dirty table. Asked for it to be wiped down and it was like we were asking for one of her kidneys. We sat at the table for 15 minutes before she came over to take our order. There were three other tables in the restaurant. After she took our order she sat down at a nearby booth and ate, sticking her fingers in her mouth. We still didn't have drinks. We finally received drinks after about ten more minutes. She seemed annoyed about doing her job. I wanted to leave. There is a complete lack of awareness in this place. Food was good. I won't be back. read more

Breakfast! Yes, breakfast at the Patty Wagon! Grady gave me his recommendation of Eggs Benedict. Now if you are a benedict fan... you know how many mediocre hollandaise sauces are out there. And woohoo this sauce was so very good.. with the lemon zing that true hollandaise needs. Yes.. made from scratch. I will go back for this in a heartbeat. The hash browns were forgettable but nothing could make me take away a star from the benedict breakfast. Grady was positive and a very good server. I look forward to coming here often.. nice to have a great, local, breakfast spot in the neighborhood. read more

What a great find after flying into Minneapolis on Friday! Yelp gave us great guidance once again!! Wanted something we couldn't get at home in VA and thrilled that we stopped at the Patty Wagon! The service from the young man that waited on us was fantastic, Waffle fries were perfectly crispy, sweet potato tots were yummy, the chicken sandwich with pineapple was delicious and my husband loved his stuffed burger, but probably the best parts of this stop were the fresh cheese curds and 1919 Root Beer on tap! We don't even drink soda very often, but our son got some and gave us a taste...it was so good that we couldn't let him have all the fun! A great lunch all the way around! (And if someone takes a long time in the bathroom, cut them some slack! The vestibule outside the bathrooms is decorated with old mug shots of the rich and famous. You can't help, but take a few minutes to check them out!) read more

The service was great and they have lots of specials. I would highly recommend trying their loaded tater tots. We were craving some after the state fair and these hit the spot. Not to mention they have a wide selection of burgers that taste great. read more

I was a little apprehensive driving through an industrial area from Lyndale Ave into the forgotten corner of Minneapolis surrounded on two sides by 35W and Crosstown when I emerged onto bustling Nicollet Ave and found this shiny inviting spot serving a wide variety of burgers, hotdogs, sandwiches and more. My buddy and I each opted for a burger, he the One with cheese, mushrooms, bacon and onion ring and I the Roadhouse (cheese with a tangy BBQ sauce). Each came with a mountain of crispy fries and at a very reasonable price point-around $8 each. Buns were toasty and the burgers were hot and delicious. Great food and a great value and worth seeking out. read more

This place was great. Service was excellent and the burgers were great. The decor is also fun to see how many you can name.

stopped by for lunch after leaving the airport. Good burger and fries! Served quickly & made for an enjoyable lunch!

Lately, The Patty Wagon has been running radio ads that borrow heavily from the old "How 'bout a nice Hawaiian punch?" commercials that were once staples on TV back in the day. Anyway, I stopped in the other day not because of but despite these ads that I find tiresome and obnoxious. What I found was a place that serves a solid burger, decent sides and draft 1919 root beer all at reasonable prices. I went with the Four Alarm burger (two patty's stuffed with pepper jack cheese and chopped jalapeño. Topped with Danger Sauce). It was Minn spicy, slathered with a sauce that could more accurately be called "Slight Risk." But it was tasty and filling. Onion rings were very good. Fries not bad at all. Of note, the root beer is $3.25 (regular, unlimited soda $2.00) and does not include refills. Next time (and I probably will be back) I might go with The Hellion (charbroiled patty seasoned with Cajun spices, pepper jack cheese, sliced jalapeños and an onion ring) or the Speed Limit Breaker (A charbroiled patty with cheddar cheese, mushrooms, caramelized onions, bacon, chipotle mayo, and an onion ring) and sub tater tots for fries. Service was amiable and efficient. Space in the lot can be a bit tight but there is no shortage of on street parking within reasonable distance. read more

Inexpensive, good burgers. Overall good experience. The burgers and hand cut fries were delicious. Nothing too unique or extensive on the menu, but they did what they have well. Cheese curds were delicious. I like when they aren't breaded and a good deal (as they're usually expensive) for $5 during happy hour. Happy hour lasts until 7pm which is great. Service was good. Overall good experience. read more

Terrible service... had to ask multiple times for refills. Waitress more concerned about taking smoke breaks than serving customers. Bathroom was disgusting. Food was alright, but would not come back. 0/10 would recommend read more

This place has super mediocre burgers, especially for the price point. There is absolutely nothing special about this place versus any other burger joint within a 20 mile radius that charges 13 dollars for a dressed up third pound Patty. I ordered the Patty wagon and didn't get the pulled pork that was supposed to be included on the burger. My partner ordered the hellion which was basically the same item with an onion ring added. You'd be better off going the extra 6 minutes north to Matt's. read more

First time coming here and I brought my parents. We were worried at first because we drove through a dank industrial area but once we popped out back into civilization we found the Patty Wagon tucked into a strip mall. We were pleasantly suprised with the clean, hip, industrial-chic atmosphere and how much space they had inside. Even enough room for a small clean bar. My boyfriend and I got the Speed Limit Breaker Burger. It has caramelized onions, mushrooms, gooey cheddar cheese, bacon, Chipotle mayo, and an onion ring. I love burgers with caramelized onions and you can definitely taste them in this burger, so good! Those onions along with the gooey cheese and crunchy onion ring made it a great burger. My one (minor) complaint is that it needed more Chipotle mayo- I couldn't taste it at all and as you can see from my picture I had only just a squirt on my burger. Don't be stingy with the calories please! I guess their fries are crispy and yummy but I chose their sweet potato tots. Lightly crispy on the outside and actually pretty sweet and soft on the inside and very, very orange haha. My mom had the Roadster Burger which had Jack Daniels bbq on it and she seemed to enjoy it! No complaints! We had great service even though it seemed like only one waiter was working. And we were also visited by what seemed to be the manager or owner of the company which was pleasently surprising! Overall it was a good experience. I reccommend burgers at Patty Wagon and I wouldn't hesitate to eat here again if I'm ever in the area. read more

Very friendly staff. Awesome root beer. Not feeling adventurous, I had a plain cheeseburger. The burger was good, above average. The hamburger bun, on the other hand, was excellent. I tried the Mozzarella Sticks and Onion rings as well. They have an awesome ranch which pairs well with the onion rings. Did I mention the root beer? I am not familiar with the brand, 1919, but this is some of the best root beer I have had. Compares favorably to Sprecher on tap, served in an icy mug. Delicious. read more
