Nothing hits the spot like a delicious burger, and the Twin Cities Gateway has plenty of local restaurants serving everything from perfectly-crafted cheeseburgers to gourmet build-your-own creations. Whatever your tastes, you’re sure to find something satisfying.
In the mood for a classic burger? The Route 47 Pub & Grub specializes in half-pound burgers made from freshly ground chuck and served with hand-cut fries. The pub hosts live music every weekend, so you can pair your meal with some entertainment.
Foodies will love the upscale options at Oliver’s Blaine and Oliver’s Shoreview. The sister restaurants serve wagyu steak burgers topped with local cheeses, housemade condiments, and other unique toppings, with a weekly burger special. Another spot serving gourmet burgers is Churchill Street in Shoreview, where the smash-style burgers are layered with caramelized onions, locally-made cheese, and housemade pickles.
Choose your own adventure with a build-your-own burger. The Tavern Grill, which has locations in Arden Hills and Blaine, the sky’s the limit, with a choice of patty, bread, cheese, toppings, dipping sauce, and other tasty additions. At the Exchange Food & Drink in New Brighton, beef is just the beginning—any burger can be made with an Angus beef patty, housemade turkey burger, housemade veggie burger, or grilled chicken.
Cheese-stuffed juicy lucy burgers were invented in Minneapolis, and you can also find the local specialty in the Twin Cities Gateway.
