Nice, greasy, old fashioned burger joint. You pull up to the drive through and order, oh I don't know, a bacon double cheeseburger or something (yum!). Then you pay at the window and get your food. And that's all there is to it. This is a cool place architecturally, but please note that there's no seating....drive through only. And although greasy, their food is so much better quality than McDonalds or Burger King....seemed fresher, with better ingredients, and there was more of it. Win, win. read more

My favorite "fast food" burger in Rochester! Fries are amaaaaazing and the service is usually quick! The one thing that would make it better would be offering a lettuce wrap instead of a bun for a low carb option...other than that, it's flawless! read more

Rochester native, grew up on Snappy Stop. Recently was in town for the first time in ten years and had to see if it lived up to my memories. Absolutely! The burgers are great for a fast-food joint, definitely well above any of the chains. Fries are a good version of frozen fries - little pieces of skin still on them, salted properly, etc. We LOVE Kathy's Homemade ice cream sandwiches, and this is one of the few places selling them. Price on the ice cream sandwiches has definitely gone up over the years, but burgers and fries are still pretty dirt cheap! Will definitely be back next time we're in town. So probably another 10 years :) read more

Pretty tasteless burgers. I was expecting a lot more with all the positive reviews. Sadly I won't be back

I had snappy stop several years ago and was not a big fan that day and I am happy to say i gave them another chance because it was a great burger at an awesome value. They were having a special three burgers for five dollars. I had three hungry people in the car so this was perfect for us. I added cheese...the burger will come how you want it. i of course just had lettuce, tomato, onion. It was filling and like burger made by mom. They are not greasy in any way shape or form. I do like my burgers a little juicier but for the price and what it was I was satisfied... read more

First time I have ever rated a place without eating there. We had just eaten somewhere else before finding this gem. The building is about the size of a Mexican border patrol shack on the U.S. border. Cars were lined up on each side of the hut to order the apparently good burgers. The large menus outside are simple and to the point. Looking forward to my next trip to Rochester for a try. read more

This is a neat little burger stand inside a HUGE, odd looking building. It looks like a Fotomat building on steroids. Pull up, and you can get some fresh made burgers with one, two, or three patties, lettuce, onion, tomato, and the option to add bacon or chili. We stopped in on a Sunday, and they were offering three burgers for $5, not a bad deal at all. We also grabbed a large fry to split, and that seemed to be made fresh as well. We did take advantage of the check in deal for a free cup of ice cream (HUGE, and not bad at all!), and grabbed one of the ice cream sandwhiches as well, which was the star of the night. Rich and tasty, this is what your store-bought ICS wishes it could be. Do not miss this when you're visiting in town. read more

Was on vacation with my folks. We were looking for some fast food and wanted to try something new so we stopped here after reading reviews and seeing it had a 4.5 star rating. Our burgers were very subpar and not flavorful at all. They might have the smallest menu I have ever seen with very limited options that didn't seem all that appealing. I guess next time we're not stopping here again. Maybe I may have missed something in the menu but the quality was quite generic. Arbys and Wendys has better quality. But like I said, I hoped for something new and different but it wasnt different. read more

Snappy stop is a nice feature to have located in a good spot in the middle of the city so it's not hard to find and the food is good. I'm a pretty big guy and the regular snappy stop combo is enough to fill me up just right! read more

Yes, this is just a fast food place. But, it is a solid California style burger! Big city peeps, this burger is almost on par with Shake Shack! Its just a little drive through, and only has a few things on the menu, but try it out. Im telling you, it is good! read more

Snappy Stop - Snappy Stop greasy amazingness - Burgers Near Me - Rochester, Minnesota

I've heard so much about Snappy Stop and want to promote local restaurants. I was dismayed to observe that both employees I observed had their masks under their noses, rendering them useless. We are in a pandemic in a town where many people come when they're sick or they work with the sick. Risking exposing them is irresponsible. The burger was tasty. The fries were not crisp, but I attribute that in part to the fact that we drove a bit before eating. read more

This fast food stop Is just ok. Their burger toppings are great, great bun and condiment, but the meat is terrible! I have trried to like this place, but the meat stops me every time. If they could just improve the meat then they would be amazing! read more

Finally made it to Snappy Stop is nothing more than a stop. The place is so small that two cars would fill up the side of the building.I had gone here after being told from a co-worker. Drove extra hour of crazy music with 3 guys lol..So we came right before the scariest day of the year (Halloween) so we started our meal with some Spooky burgers (only available during this time of year). They are not like California burgers, the place is Drive True ONLY...You want to make sure you order there fry's they are really good and California style. The burgers are good, but not great. One thing you should know is that they bungs are room temp so they don't warm them up or anything. The shakes are pre made gas station shakes so nothing special there as well. If I am in town I won't mind coming back but not worth for an hour drive to try them out. read more

Great burgers, and shakes are good too. Natural fries great. Dbl cheese with chili the best. Just the right amt without taking over your burger. Everything made to order and quick. Reasonable prices. Fun drive up the ramp...scenic friendly animals welcome you in. read more

there's no way a burger from a small little drive thtu like this should be as good as it is. the veggies were really fresh, like, really good! made the whole experience way better. good portions on the toppings too. not overpowering. the patty tasted good, i know a frozen patty when i taste one, but it's a good one. the thing that let it down was the fries, they were not crisped at all and pretty greasy. other than that, this is a really great quick stop. really good ingredients, nice staff, good prices, fairly easy to get in an out of. doesn't make me feel like i wish i went somewhere else, like i do at say a McDonalds or a Burger King. although it's fast food, this is miles ahead. read more

This place has good burgers. Good fries. Make sure you ask for salt and/or ketchup because they won't come presalted. There's a park across the street with picnic tables! read more

This is my absolute favorite fast food burger place to go to when in Rochester. You can get an entire meal for under $7.

I'm from out of town and came in for a visit to Rochester's #1 attraction, Mayo Clinic, but that's another subject. This drive through joint has awesome burgers for a great price. Highly recommend visiting. It's on my go to places for future stops. Oh, take some time to be silly and take a picture with the buffalo and chicken. read more

See all

I had heard some not so nice reviews of this place so when I tried it for the first time I was honestly shocked. These burgers taste so good that they haunt my dreams. They are juicy, and so so flavorful. The veggies taste like they are fresh from the farmer's market. And they are very reasonably priced! The only con I have about Snappy Stop, is that their shakes are actually F'real shakes (the ones you get at KT). I would have loved to see what they could do with handmade shakes, but overall I would still recommend this place to anyone and everyone. read more

Basically a crusty crab above the ocean. Their fries are fires to die for. With prices that will leave your wallet feeling fine. Give them your business and you will not be disappointed unless you are a cold blooded communist. read more

Really good burgers at a really great price. It's a drive through so there isn't seating or anything, but if you are on the go and wanting something inexpensive, quick, and delicious, than this is the place for you. read more

Friendly drive thru service. We were thoroughly impressed with our experience. Our only complaint is the construction and difficulty finding the entrance and the other is that the small fires are enough to feed two people and then some. All three employees were smiling while working hard and food prep had gloves on. What a pleasant experience! We will be back for more. Great value and I'd stick with a double snappy burger as the single may be too thin for most. read more

Very disappointing. Thin little frozen processed burger patty like something in a "Where's the beef" commercial. It tasted good but definitely NOT worth the money. Was expecting a Mom & Pop big thick juicy burger but instead I got overpriced McDonald's. Won't be wasting my money eating here again. read more

This is the worst burger joint in town. Burgers are lousy, thin, and taste like garbage. I only stop by for their Pepsi soda.

Better than any burger chain for sure cheaper too.

Snappy Stop burgers are much better than any of your fast food chains. Their burgers are always less greasy and their home made fries are excellent. I always prefer local businesses compared to the national chains, and Snappy Stop easily beats all of them. read more

Very nice and friendly service! My father took me here when I was a child, often. I go here every time I'm in Rochester! Today my girlfriend and I had an appointment at St. Mary's and it was the first time she had been there. She loved the fries! The kids loved the chicken nuggets and the portions are perfect for the price! I was born in 1983 and they opened in1985. God bless the kindness in service we received today! read more

I didn't have high hopes for this joint, but I was surprisingly impressioned. It shouldn't win burger of the year or anything, but for $8 I fed my family of 3 with their 3 for $5 + fries. It wasn't too greasy, and we'll definitely go back because the burgers were a healthier junkfood burger option. Tips, we added cheese to the burgers when we got home, and it bumped it up a notch. read more

The food is solid, much better than typical fast food. Not an expansive menu, but one is not needed. Only complaint is that this place is anything but snappy - the service has taken over 10 minutes every time I visit. read more

For the price you pay it's extremely worth it. I got the double snappy burger with cheese, and it was cooked perfectly, with a perfect amount of sauce and toppings. Super quick, great service! I'll definitely be back! read more

Delicious! Snappy is the In-N-Out of Rochester. The menu is simple, the food is great and I love that there is no salt on the fries.

A little small but so cute and is definitely monumental because it's a tiny 2 story burger shack so what do you expect? You expect a juicy little burger from a cute little burger shack. read more

Love the burgers and chicken nuggets from this place. In my opinion it's the best fast food burgers you can get in town.

Looking for a quick burger and some good fries this is not a bad choice. There's something about paying and getting your food from the same window that makes you feel better about getting what you pay for. Look for the giant bull or buffalo to be near by in the parking lot. read more

SNAPPY STOP! This was the first place I went upon arriving in Rochester. Their burgers are neat, square, flat patties that come with loads of toppings for free. I would much rather stop back at Snappy Stop than all of the local fast food joints for a decent, fairly priced meal. Their staff is also very kind and patient, as I had no idea what to order when I first arrived. I just hope I can stay away long enough and not pack on the pounds eating Snappy Stop the whole time during my visit here! read more

I was scared to try this place but I am so glad that I did! Their burgers are an amazing size for the price and their fries are out of this world! read more

The best place in Rochester to get fast food burgers, fries, and hot dogs! Plus large portions!

One the the best fast food burgers I have had in a while. Reminds me of in-and-out burger but only in taste.

If you don't have time to make your own and McDonald's and BK are closed, then snappy is your spot. Nasty fries and and generic fast food burgers. Cute hut though read more

Ok everyone I was just out west and the pleasure of having the most delicious fast food burger ever, in n out. Snappy is the best rendition of in n out in the Midwest. Go go fast and get the 3 for deal! read more
