Editor’s picks
Press picks, until locals rank their own Top 5s. Sourced from the local food press. As seen in Mpls.St.Paul Magazine. Updated July 2026.
Lions Tap · Eden Prairie
Lions Tap has built its Eden Prairie identity around a concise menu of griddled burgers, fries, and little else. Mpls.St.Paul Magazine highlights the Double California with cheese, a broad stack that reflects the restaurant's direct, durable approach. The current first-party spelling drops the apostrophe, and the Flying Cloud Drive address identifies its sole location.
112 Eatery · Warehouse District
112 Eatery serves its burger on an English muffin with brie, a combination that captures the restaurant's knack for making polished cooking feel casual. Mpls.St.Paul Magazine includes it among the city's enduring burger reference points. The late-night-friendly Warehouse District dining room remains at the address embedded in the restaurant's name.
Convention Grill · Edina
Convention Grill returned from its long pandemic hiatus with its familiar diner format intact. Thin griddled patties, melted American cheese, fries, and shakes remain the center of the Sunnyside Road experience. Mpls.St.Paul Magazine's burger guide captures the restaurant's classic style, while current first-party hours confirm that the reopened Edina dining room is operating.
Parlour · North Loop
Parlour's signature burger blends brisket, chuck, and sirloin into two thin patties with American cheese on a soft bun. Mpls.St.Paul Magazine traces how the compact bar helped popularize this style across the Twin Cities. Use the North Loop flagship, which reopened after a brief 2026 remodel and remains distinct from the upstairs restaurant that closed.
Bull's Horn Food and Drink · Hiawatha
Bull's Horn Food & Drink approaches the neighborhood-bar burger with the same care evident across chef Doug Flicker's menu. The griddled patty is at home among house-made cheese, fried chicken, and other thoughtfully handled bar staples. Mpls.St.Paul Magazine's burger guide names the independent restaurant and pins it to its South Minneapolis address.
