Reviews for The Nook in St Paul, MN
The absolute best wings in the Twin Cities! My go to flavors are the Honey BBQ, Buffalo and MN wild dry rub. There isn?t a bad... flavor on the menu. The homemade fries are outstanding and be sure to order a few of the homemade blue cheeses, so good. I willcontinue to go to this small, vibrant and fun neighborhood staple to enjoy the food and great service! Read more
This was my first time at the Nook and I was excited to try their Juicy Lucy burger since so many people have raved about it.... Well, it was a pretty disappointing. We waited about 40 minutes to get our burgers and we realized (after two bites) that therewas no cheese inside and the burger was overcooked (menu says burgers are cooked to medium). We told the server and heapologized and got us new ones. New ones took 20 minutes to arrive. As others have mentioned, it was very hot to eat. Itreminded me of eating xiao long baos (Chinese soup dumplings), where you have to be careful or you will burn your mouth.Overall, the taste of the burgers was okay. I've tried other Juicy Lucy at other well-known places, and prefer the other placesvs. Nook. But, the service was great! Our server kept checking on us and was very apologetic about our non-cheese overcookedburger. So, most of the stars is for the server. He rocked it. So, would I come back again? Probably not. Long wait for food -okay burgers + great service = 3 stars. Read more
If you're looking for a little dive bar with bomb food and cozy seating (I mean.. cozy..)... find your way here. My #7 burger... was freaking amazing. The cheese may have oozed out the back before I took a but, but that didnt stop the flavor explosion. Andthe flaming cheese curds... omg, some of the best I've ever had. Quick service. Delicious food. Huge fry portions. So manyfries. Yum. Read more
Stopped in while in the area. I must say this is a gem of a place and exudes a lot of personality! Definitely recommended going... to the downstairs area! Got the Tuesday Bacon Bourbon Burger with fries for $9.95. Burger was cooked just how I liked it(alittle pink inside), although my friend's was just brown throughout. The burger was cohesive and nothing was too overpowering.Only critiques we're maybe the party could've been either a smidge thicker or wider to leave less empty space on the bun!Overall an 8/10 burger! Fries were fried nicely and seasoned well! Will recommend and definitely come back to try otherburgers! Read more
Nothing flashy about this place, but if you're looking for flair you're not going to find a good burger. This place is concerned... with one thing, and that's excellent burgers. Great atmosphere with unique decor as well. My wife and I loved it Read more
This small, family-run restaurant was suggested to us to try local cuisine on our visit to Minnesota. The cheese curds were... extremely delicious (we regret only getting one portion)! I tried the Juicy Nookie burger, which was tasty but messy to eat.It?s not a huge burger, which was nice, as anything too big would be too heavy. The food was good, overall, but a bit greasy.Service was quick and friendly. Read more
Amazing burgers! Some of the best in the Midwest....if not the Country! Those buffalo wings though! Hands down the best Ive ever... had! Worth the drive from Iowa just to eat here. Just one of the coolest places around! Read more
Great corner bar. Minnesota has a few bars/restaurants that serve Juicy Lucy burgers. These are stuffed burgers with cheese on... the inside. The nook does not claim to have invented the burger style but they have some great variations. I had the Guy?s BigBite which is a stuffed burger topped with bacon and roast beef with cheddar cheese! The burger was big, juicy, and veryfilling. I got the hand cut fries for the side dish. The Nook is very popular and there can be a long line at times but is wellworth the wait. Read more
