Best Hamburger in Minnesota - So Far




When I visit any city, I am always interested in the "burger scene." On a recent trip to Minneapolis, I tried burgers at two popular establishments, The Uptown Cafeteria and Burger Jones. In terms of pure variety and quality, Burger Jones won hands down. That shouldn't be too much of a surprise. When you you have "burger" in your name, the product better be good! The restaurant offers a variety of burger toppings. I opted for the Cheeseburger Jones special which included a burger with cheddar cheese accompanied by maple bacon sweet potato fries and August Schell Brewing Company's Grain Belt Nordeast beer. An outstanding combination. The burger was perfectly cooked, the fries were great and the beer refreshing.

Burger Jones is a fun place to go and all burger palates are welcome. My brother-in-law ordered the White Trash Burger which consisted of a 7 oz burger patty topped with chicken fried bacon, Velveeta cheese, and cheese curds. Definitely a more tasty option than injecting the cholesterol directly into your veins.

One of the restaurant's fan favorites is the the Tri-Fry Tower which consists of a combo of regular fries, the maple bacon sweet potato fries, and parmesan waffle fries. Outstanding for a group sharing experience. Next time for me will be deep fried cheese curds. Just have to try it for research purposes.

Burger Jones is located on Lake Street in Minneapolis. Try it!
