A beloved Highland Park staple, The Nook is celebrated for its juicy, cheese-stuffed Juicy Lucy burgers and lively, down-to-earth vibe. Regularly cited by The New York Times and Eater Twin Cities, this family-run tavern has been a neighborhood favorite since 1938. The Nook’s burgers are griddled to perfection, with inventive topping combos and a nostalgic bowling alley in the basement adding to its quirky charm. The signature Juicy Nookie, oozing with molten cheese, has earned national attention and a loyal local following alike. For anyone seeking a classic Saint Paul experience, The Nook is a must-visit according to multiple sources including Eater’s “Essential Burger Spots in the Twin Cities.”
