50's Grill

This place was like going back in the 50s fr. Everything was fresh from the 50s chuckburger to the old school root beer. Best burgers in town for me. Definitely going back 🤗

Stopped in for a burger. We each had a 6 oz burger. They were both cooked to perfection. My partner ordered his medium rare and it was cooked perfectly. I ordered mine well done and it was also cooked perfectly. Their bread is freshly made there along with many pies and cakes. They also serve delicious malts and shakes. We took a Hot Fudge Shake to go. The restaurant was clean and the service was excellent. A definite stop if you’re in the area.

Cool, old school diner. Served like a diner, but cooked home style. A few dishes remind me of grandmas cooking. The dishes are for the most part, exactly as you’d expect. Decent size portions, but not overwhelming. The true star is their cakes. The chocolate fudge cake everything you want in a rich indulgent treat. Moist and sweet, it’s like eating a hug. The bread that comes with meals is warm and soft, the perfect accompaniment to a cup of soup or to start your meal off. Pot pies are a solid option. Be warned, the pot pies are served in ramekins with a crust only on the top. They are good, but if you want a pot pie with a crust on the bottom, this is not it. On a similar note, the Irish cottage pie is served in a similar fashion, but instead of a a pastry crust top, it has mashed potatoes. Truly, hard to go wrong with anything on the menu.

We went for pie on Pi day (3/14) and was so yummy!

It was a travel back in time to the past, the whole place really captured the essence of the 50s. The staff dressed in 50s attire and the antiques and decor were amazing to look at. Our server was friendly, helpful, attentive and had a beautiful smile and welcoming presence. The food was amazing, and very tasty. The malts and handmade bread are the stars of the show. If you are looking to eat at a classic diner near Minneapolis, this is the place to go.

The restaurant boasts a nostalgic atmosphere, but the food quality is significantly lacking. I paid over $10 cheeseburger was rubbery and clearly rushed off the griddle by steam-cooking under a lid instead of being properly seared and finished. The fries that came with it were soggy and undercooked. The hot fudge malt was decent, but it's a simple item to prepare. Overall, for me, the ambiance just couldn't compensate for the poorly executed and overpriced food.

My family has been coming here for many years, often with large groups that include older adults, and children. The service is always good, the food and dessert are delicious, and things are like home cooking. I highly recommend it.

What happened at the 50's Grill today? When we got there, we were invisible and had to wait for someone to acknowledge us to be seated. Then, it wasn't too horribly long for the waitress to appear, but longer than usual. Holly was very sweet. The food was delicious as usual. When we were ready to pay the bill, there was a long line of irritated customers and no cashier. We all waited and waited and continued to be ignored as several workers walked around us. Clearly, all the take out orders had priority. I just wanted to leave without paying, but pursueded not to. There was also a full waiting area of potential customers, not being seated, who looked like they were ready to take their business elsewhere. It appeared there were plenty of staff, but they were not cross trained? I have never seen this fine establishment in such disarray.
