Restaurant Review: Burger Jones

Yes, Minnesota has 10,000 lakes, the Mall of America, cold temperatures and an up and coming food scene. With so many food options sometimes a good ol’ burger sounds good. That’s exactly what Steve and I were craving last Thursday. So, we called up our good friends to join us for a burger and beer at Burger Jones.

The atmosphere has an urban rustic vibe with large photos of burgers on the wall making you salivate. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. And, all the burgers were cooked to order and juicy.

I love bison, so I was excited to see a bison burger on the menu. All the flavors worked well together with not one ingredient over powering the other. With that said, I was missing that wow factor in my burger. It was a little to greasy for my liking and didn’t leave me craving the next bite. I enjoyed the parmesan waffle fries very much and liked that ketchup wasn’t necessary for enjoying.

I give Burger Jones a 4 out of 5 tables. And, look forward to trying another burger on the menu.
