B-52 Burgers & Brew Inver Grove Heights

Absolutely loved my visit to B52 Burger & Brew! The Da Burger was outstanding, perfectly juicy patty with incredible flavor in every bite. The Tenders were crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, exactly how they should be. And the Strawberry Shake? Honestly one of the best I’ve had, thick, fresh, and full of real strawberry flavor. The whole meal was a 10/10 experience. Already planning my next visit! Highly recommend!

Burgers were amazing and drinks were even better! I asked for a chocolate espresso martini after dinner and I often am met with some opposition if it's not on the menu, but not here. They were more than willing to make one, it was done quickly and tasted perfect! Our server was very attentive even when her section filled up. Definitely 💯 recommend. P.S. the jalapeño burger is spicy🔥 (duh) thankfully my husband is kind and willingly switched the other half of his burger with me 😋

If you like to watch sports and gamble come here. Huge TVs and smaller ones everywhere. Great food specials that make me wish I lived closer.

B-52 Burgers + Brew delivered an out-of-this-galaxy experience. I ordered the B-52 burger with a vegan patty and it was outstanding—crispy edges, flavorful center, and stacked like a true champion. A fantastic plant-based option that doesn’t skimp on taste or texture. The fries were a fun mission: served in a paper bag for you to shake on your own seasoning. I went with the Cool Ranch rub and paired it with their seasoned sour cream dipping sauce—flavor combo was strong with this one. Plenty of rubs and sauces to choose from, making every visit a unique adventure. Tried the cheese curds too—golden, crunchy, and cheesy to the core. A big hit for anyone who walks the dairy path. The setting takes it up another level: tons of TVs and projection screens inside so you won’t miss a game, plus a rooftop deck if the weather’s on your side. Whether you're catching a game or just soaking in the skyline, it's a perfect spot to post up. Service? Spot on. From the food to the fries, the vibe to the view—this place is a win. 🌱🍔📺🌤️

I used to think they had the best Fettuccine Alfredo ever. They FINALLY put it back on the menu. I ordered it... it was just as amazing as it used to be. I ordered it the next time and it had sooooo much pepper in it, I couldn't eat it. I gave it one more chance a week later. Waaaaaay too much pepper. I'm so sad! 😓 I'll never order it again.

At B-52's Burgers and Brews there are plenty of screens to watch your game of choice. I had the chicken salad popover sandwich with a salad. The salad that accompanied the chicken salad popover sandwich was delicious. Servers were super friendly and patient. They have an excellent happy hour, with half off all apps after 9:00, although last food order needs to be put in by 9:59. All you can eat ribs on Thursday evenings and more meal specials on other nights of the week.

I try not to give out 5 stars but B52 deserves it. The wings were smoked and delicious. The fries were fried perfectly and tasted amazing. I loved the live music aspect. Me and my guys sat at the bar and staff were extremely helpful and nice. Overall, B52 is a must try!

Our server was nice and attentive. Our food came out hot and how everyone ordered it. Nothing had to be fixed.

Spacious restaurant with tons of outdoor seating. Didn't really quite know what to expect, but was obvious that I needed to try a burger. Fortunately, they had some noted award winners at local events. I tried The Carlton and it was very solid. Well-cooked, great flavor combos, and while a bit expensive it wasn't completely egregious. If you're looking for a cool little spot with solid burgers and tons of options for them, look no further!

Stopped by for dinner and was seated right away thanks to their large "seat yourself" bar area with plenty of seating. My husband and I both got burgers, which we loved. The Wisconsin Cheese Curd Burger was so yummy! A main reason for my high rating is that you can choose to make your burger a smash patty which was a big bonus for me because I love a good smash patty! My father-in-law ordered the wings and said they were just "okay." You get about 8 wings with the order. The menus were a little confusing, especially with all the dipping sauce options, but our waitress helped us figure it out. One minor downside: our menus were pretty dirty, which instantly grossed me out and knocked the experience down a star. Parking is a bit tight since the lot is shared with a hotel, but there's a large AMC parking lot right next door where we parked and walked right in without any issues.

DELISH! What a gem right here in the east metro area. I was craving a burger and this place is legit and hit the spot. Upon arriving at the restaurant, they have tiered seating and huge tv screens. What a great place to watch sports especially Minnesota teams. What a great set up. I love that you don't feel on top of other patrons too. We were seated at a side booth that was super roomy. The service is great! We had Sanyla and she was awesome and on top of things. I ordered the gluten free juicy Lucy. The gfree bun was one of the best buns I've had. It had sesame and poppy seed buns and didn't fall apart. I upgraded to the fries side option which was great. The fries had some good seasoning. I also ordered the banana bread old fashioned...yum!

Great dive bar with tons of sports on all TVs throughout the bar. Service was friendly and quick. We didn't order food so I can't comment on that. Cool place

While watching a Vikings game we asked for our bill while the game was still on. We noticed an error on our bill and talked to the server about it. She immediately said she would get the manager. The manager agreed and we continued watching the game until it was over. We have been going to this restaurant for 20 plus years every Sunday to watch football. We went there today to watch football and were told we were barred from ever coming back because we evidently made our server cry because we questioned the bill last week. There was no raised voices or confrontation and not asked to leave then so we were floored that we were banned from ever coming back. I don't know what was going on in our servers life but her crying wasn't caused by us questioning the bill. My husband and I are in customer service and cannot believe what happened. We have been loyal patrons of this place for 20 years. 20 years of patronage and no warning had we even done something wrong which we didn't. Very upsetting just for questioning our bill. We have recently learned that 2 other parties were banned from ever coming back because they disputed their bill the same day. If you want to be treated like a criminal if you question your bill this is the place to go. The manager that was working that day was on some sort of power trip. We won't be missing out on anything. The TV's in the bar are small and the menu is small and the food is not that great.

When Yacht Rock is on his game (which is always), it's super fun! The food options are limited and as a Bloody Mary connoisseur, I've been disappointed twice. And that's the two times I've tried them. Service has been okay but not great. I have never dined inside the restaurant; only the rooftop. Maybe it's better inside? But who wants to miss Yacht Rock? Cha!

The first time I had a B52 burger was at the Twin Cities Burger Battle years ago. They had a phenomenal blue cheese burger I couldn't get enough of! So, when we were in the area, I wanted to go to the restaurant to try their Juicy Lucy. We were greeted upon entry, and our order was taken and placed swiftly. While waiting, I wandered around the restaurant and checked things out. The waitresses checked in on me that all was going well. I saw the MOAB Hall of Fame -- that seems a daunting feat eating 2# meat plus whole basket of fries in an hour. Congrats to those up there! There was a table who ordered a Bloody Mary and was a beautiful masterpiece of drink + food in one glass! They so kindly let me photo this! Next time, I'll order this and get everything in one vessel! Okay, so the Juicy Lucy. The burger was great-- thin and had good texture, good bite. The cheese inside was melty and gooey and delicious. My two cents: (1) the meat was not seasoned as much as I had expected (little more s+p please) and (2) like other Juicy Lucy comments, the cheese was not in every bite. Eating the edges was like eating a normal burger. Just comes with the territory of stuffing a burger. Overall great! Loved the burger and the flavor! I have great memories of this place and will definitely come back for more!

Great service y the waitstaff. Very friendly and always checking in with us. Food was good for a burger and fries.

I had high hopes but was quite disappointed. My burger was hard as a rock. The wings were ok but they were supposed to be smoked but none of us tasted a smoke flavor. All 4 of us agreed that we wouldn't come back.

I order food for pick up here. I really like their John Wayne burger and like the fact that they have a gluten-free option. If you have gluten issues this place is OK to order from.

Good service great food large area to dine good drinks clean environment. Waitress was beyond amazing drinks before i was finished that's my kind of service

I liked the location (next to the Holiday Inn where I stayed). I came the evening of the Super Bowl, so the positive news was there were loads of TVs ant good selection of beer on tap. The service was great. The only downside was the emcee who talked so much it was hard to hear the dialogue on the commercials : which are a big deal during the Super Bowl. He behaved like it was another game in that regard, so that was the only downside to the experience.

I was pleasantly surprised by B-52s and enjoyed my time here! We came by before an event we were going to in Inver Grove, since we don't live nearby. We came in on a Saturday around 4:00 and there was plenty of seating. We opted for the open seating on the bar side and easily got a table for the 5 of us. Our server was super kind and quick, everything was brought out timely and she consistently made sure everything was coming out ok. The menu has a bunch of options for unique burgers and starters, but is definitely smaller in other areas. As someone who's not a huge burger lover, I definitely had options but I was hoping I'd have more. The options that aren't burgers are pretty basic, but not bad! I opted for the Southwest Chicken Salad and really enjoyed it! The vinegrette is citrusy and light which I loved, plus it came with chicken so I didn't have to pay extra for protein. My boyfriend got a burger and we upgraded to waffle fries so we could share. We also ordered the seasoned sour cream, which was delicious but the extra $1.50 for it was kinda steep. The waffle fries were good and crunchy - our friends that got the regular fries didn't like them much though. Definitely opt for the waffle fries! I also ordered a couple of vodka sodas - nothing special but they weren't bad! Overall, not a bad spot, but nothing to go completely out of your way for!

Tasty food, reasonably priced, fast service especially to arrive in time to AMC movie theater next door. Rub/spice that comes sidecar with French fries in a shaker bag and dip enhance flavor. We tried garlic aioli dip, plus lemon pepper rub. Several rubs and dip flavors to choose from! Sports tv screens galore! Free, ample parking. Customer Experience Specialist/server Lakita B. ROCKED IT! She made sure we timely received our food and the bill despite us only leaving ourselves less than one hour to enter, review menu, eat and pay before the movie. Will try the rooftop dining on next visit.

Deb, our server was absolutely amazing. She treated us like family and treated my kids, especially well. It was really great to have somebody that really enjoyed their job and treated us so nicely.

We went on a Thursday night, which was Rib Night. $20.99 great price for a full rack of ribs. I didn't like spending the extra $1.00 on my waffle fries. We've been here a couple times before Covid hit. Sundays were for the M.O.A.B, mother of all burgers! That's when it was half price, now it's $10.00 off of $50.00. Still a good place to eat, just hate inflation!

Unfortunately, this was our last visit to B-52 Burgers and Brew. We just don't feel comfortable taking a chance on this place anymore. It was such a great place to eat, that we feel sad that this is no longer the case. After waiting quite a while for service after getting seated. We felt that we should have just left and called it good. Maybe we would have tried to come back another day. To start the meal, we ordered the Classic Buffalo Dip. The best thing about this dis is the tortilla chips. We couldn't taste anything except buffalo sauce. The chicken was shredded so small that it was literally only something you could feel with your mouth, rather than see it. The tortilla chips were nice and crisp without being salty or too weak to use for the dip. He had The Mushroom Gouda and I made the terrible mistake of ordering The Truffle Shuffle. We both asked for "pink" or medium rare burgers. Neither of them arrived that way. For The Mushroom Gouda, there wasn't really any flavor, and the burger was overcooked. The aioli appeared only on sight, not in the taste of the compilation. The Truffle Shuffle was TERRIBLE. There was absolutely no taste to the burger, which was also overcooked. If I ate the components separately, I could taste them. Together, everything went away. I wasn't expecting the pancetta to show up cubed on the burger. I would have thought that slicing it would sufficiently have it serve as the bacon stand-in it is meant to be. I've never seen pancetta cubed before. Even the roasted red peppers showed up by eye only and not in flavor. We also requested Garlic Fries to accompany the burgers. We used to LOVE these fries. They are no longer really garlic fries. There was very little garlic present. You have to pay extra for fries now, which further aggrieved us. We weren't sure about how "seasoned corn chips" go with burgers. The service issues that started the meal remained throughout and it took longer than we'd have liked to finally get our check and get out of there. I really hate to say goodbye to places I have loved. I'd rather that my good memories remained intact, rather than having this situation occur.

Came in for AYCE Wednesday wing night. The parking lot was packed but the restaurant was only moderately full at 6:30. The hostesses were friendly and attentive. We were promptly seated in the restaurant (not bar) area. Our server was pleasant and kind. She kindly explained how the endless wings work. Each person who decides to do AYCE has to order in increments of 10 wings which can be split into two different flavors, so 5 of each. So for two of us, we got 20 wings and 4 flavors to start with. You can order as many increments of 10 after this as you want. So for the two of us we got one more basket of 10 with two flavors. The b52 is listed as the spiciest and is NOT spicy AT ALL, so don't expect some d-spot style sauce. The b52 was, however, my favorite sauce since it was the most flavorful. The Peruvian jam and peanut sauce was interesting but not very good. Similar mediocre reviews for KC bbq sauce, boom boom, gochujang hot honey, spicy garlic Parmesan. Wings were not saucy at all. Overall, glad I tried it but won't be back. While it's a good deal if you can throw down tons of wings, there are much better wings in town.

Always delicious, servers are kind and has the atmosphere of a busy bar- so loud, TVs, high energy. The curds are ridiculous- so good. Wine is usually a decent pour for a fair price. The burger with egg on it is delicious (think it's called the hangover burger), but between my husband and friends we have tried almost all burgers and haven't struck out yet. The hot chicken sandwich is also worth a try- the slaw adds a yummy dimension to the spice of the chicken. Get the sweet potato fries if that's your jam.

We came here on 12:28 22, because they said they had the ribeye steak on the menu online. We get here and the waitress said that they used to serve that 2 years ago!!! But she's going to tell the manager. Update your menu.

Food and ambiance are excellent. They always have whatever relevant game on the tv and their bacon wrapped cheese curds and rooftop seating are worth the trip alone

My boyfriend and I come here often to get some apps and dinner before movies. Great specialty cocktail menu and solid food menu also. We most recently came for the ultimate bloody and let me tell you they are the best ever. Be ready for fried food, but it was SO good! Def a great bar spot to catch a game or get a casual meal.

This is a really great sports bar feel with a lot of high top seating and a large dining room. I had the the Prime Rib Philly with a side of chicken wild rice soup and both were great. The egg roll/chimi appetizer was really good too. Accommodating for larger group, and good pull tab selection at a live booth.

Stopped here while staying next door at the hotel. Sat at the bar, service was good. I got the B-52 burger expecting a nice, spicy burger. Spice was not there, seemed like only one corner of the burger had jalapeños on it. However, the burger was cooked exactly how I asked at medium rare and was delicious. Not a perfect experience, but a damn good burger and the type of service I would expect.

There was a group of 3 of us that went out to dinner and decided to meet up at this place, none of us had tried before. To start (and no fault of the business) was that parking sucked. It is an absolute nightmare. The lot is shared with a hotel with was very busy, and if that's full you leave the area and park in a lot that's shared with a movie theater down the hill. Being that it was cold, windy and rainy I opted to drop my lady at the door, which was difficult given the narrow area near the entrance. Anyway, the parking situation doesn't effect rating because it's really not anyones control. We went inside and was seated right away. There were 2 hostesses, one of which must have been having a bad day because she said "the other one will be with you shortly" and just sat where she was. The other hostess greeted us and sat us, she seemed really busy. It did take quite some time (approximately 15 mins) for our waitress to greet us and take drink orders. When I saw who our waitress was, we were all rather disappointed because she had passed our table a good dozen times prior and never said anything. We placed our orders and the food was rather fast coming out. Everything looked alright and tasted really good! 2 of the 3 of us ordered burgers and weirdly we both (myself included) weren't able to completely finish our meal because we both began to feel odd. Our stomachs were not happy with us and began cramping. We both sat for a while and waited to see if the feeling would subside and they did not. We asked to speak to management just to bring awareness to our odd issues and after 20 mins of waiting, we just weren't able to sit around anymore. We've agreed maybe it was just an off night and had agreed to try again because majority of the staff was excellent and the food really did taste great!! But just odd what happened and when. Well update soon. Flightheek

Sunday funday.... Bloody addition. My sister and I stopped at B-52 Burgers and Brew Inver Grove specifically to try the Mother of All Bloodys. Arrived around 11:45am. On this beautiful hot MN day, we opted to sit on the rooftop. We waited about 5-7 minutes before being helped. Not too busy, maybe 6 other tables with customers. When the waitress came over she brought menus and water. We decided we were just going to have the bloody since it was the best of both worlds (drink & food). When we ordered our drink, she let us know it would be like 10 minutes since they had to make it. Totally fine. It actually ended up being more like 25 minutes before we received our Bloody Mary. However, they had a DJ playing music on the roof time and taking song requests. You don't see that everywhere and he was playing soft rock-ish tones. The mother of all bloodys was good. Didn't quite look like the photo, but still good. The slider and bacon wrapped cheese curds were my favorite. I think this would be fun to enjoy before a Vikings game. Service wasn't terrible, but we weren't checked on more than twice to see if we needed anything else. Overall, dine in experience was fair. Mother of All Bloodys was good, will likely try again. The campfire skillet caught my eye on the specials menu so I'll likely be back to try that before the end of summer.

I ordered the Waygu burger. It wasn't bad but I wished it was 3 sliders instead of 2. Overall not bad. The chipotle mayo sauce was

We stopped here for dinner before a movie. I debated about the beet salad or stir fry bowl but given the name of the place, decided to stick with a burger. I added fried onions, lettuce, and tomato. Sides were fries or slaw or a few upgrades. I chose the slaw, hoping to keep the calories down a bit. I also had a stout. Everything was good. Patrons were social distanced. Servers were masked. Parking was very limited and required us parking in the movie lot.

Met some friends for lunch. The service was top notch - friendly and efficient. My two friends had specialty burgers, which they enjoyed. I had a Nashville Hot crispy chicken sandwich. While it wasn't a bad chicken sandwich, there was no heat to it at all - as in zero heat. I'm not sure if the cook was having a bad day, or the restaurant doesn't understand the concept of Nashville Hot. That was disappointing. And the coleslaw was bland - basically, cabbage with only mayo for the sauce. It wasn't sweet or tangy - just bland. If I am in the area, I might give this place a chance again since my dining companions were satisfied with their meal and the service was so good.

Always super average. Nice rooftop patio that looks over the movie theater parking lot.

While this by no means the first time we have eaten at B52s we feel it deserved a review. Their menu has been updated since the last time we dined here and I have to say we approve. We both just had an entrée while I had the prime rib special (Saturday nights) she had the birreria tacos. My prime rib was cooked perfect and the sides were just as delicious. Now her birreria tacos were not the most traditional they were delicious for an elevated restaurant version. The restaurant still has that elevated sports bar feel but yet it is comfortable for a good date night. The prices are very affordable for how good the food and drinks are here. So if your in the area or not stop in for a drink and the game or a delicious dinner with the perfect person.

Invergrove B-52 burgers are very good! I had the Wisconsin. Hubby had the prime sandwich. The flavor was outrageous. N/A beer was also very good. Nice staff. Comfortable atmosphere. Didn't like the extra charges on everything down to ranch dressing for fries.

Wanted to sit outside in patio this afternoon ( 07/10)but server was VERY rude. Work on your attitude if you can't handle the fast pace environment.

Kinda disappointed and shocked as we continue to come out of the pandemic and they deliver my drink with straw in glass unwrapped. Prices for sides is steep (but healthy servings) so be sure and focus on a meal that comes with sides. Specials don't come with sides which makes it pricey. Food is very tasty, took advantage of the burger flight to try a few different versions of their styles.

Very good Food and Service. The staff is on their game. Highly. recommended. Burgers and Service an A plus.

Let's start with the food. Seared Tuna Salad was amazing! We came for Bloody Marys but missed it by 30 min. They need to post it online. SERVICE WAS HORRIBLE!!! Rude, got order wrong, had different people bring out food-they didn't smile and were rude. I also watched several other servers that had severe RBF. This place really needs some people that want to be there and enjoy people. Burgers are fine but not extraordinary. Restaurant is a bit cold and dark. Will only go back for the salad. Will just get a to go order.

Great spot to grab drinks and an appetizer. Their burger selections are great too. Wait staff are always friendly and make sure food arrives to the table so it's hot and ready. Fun spot to watch a sports game too as they have large screens to watch games.

Is it the best food in the city? No. Is it serviceable? Yes. Not a huge, extensive menu, but if you're looking for a slightly above a wrage burger, they are at least decent here. The drinks are good and our server was fantastic. The 3 star review is mostly for the lack of other items besides burgers and the items that aren't burgers aren't great.

Solid Apps and HH(happy hour)! I truly enjoy the buffalo chicken dip, they give you a ton of chips. I wish the dip had more of a kick to it but the flavors are all there. Apps were $3 off and they had some beer/alcohol specials as well during HH. Their bone-in wings are pretty solid as well. They could be crispier in my opinion but you get a lot even during happy hour which I respect. I get so sad when I order something from a happy hour menu and they only give me half the portion. What's the point of places offering happy hour if they jip the quantity. So thank you B-52 for not doing that, at least not to my knowledge. The rooftop is very nice. It's a great place to go before or after catching a movie at the AMC. Service is always relatively fast and friendly. Inside there is a ton of seating. The rooftop is more limited but if you can get a seat up there I would recommend it.

Bad service. Bad food. Two out of three of us got sick. While the waitress on the upstairs deck was awesome, we came in as it was too cold (in June) to stay outside. The waitress inside (and it was not crowded) took forever to take our orders. It took longer to get them. I was, as usual, uncharged for a gluten free bun. To be expected. The bun however was not grilled or toasted and was gag worthy. I took one bite, ate the dry overdone burger, and left the bun on the plate. One friend had a dry, disappointing Ruben. She said the water tasted like chemicals. Another friend had fish tacos which were good. The two of us with dry food ended up sick for hours... starting before we left the restaurant. Afternoon and evening plans were canceled for both of us. Thank goodness there was more than one bathroom stall or we would have been in even more trouble!

Good burgers, okay apps. We met some family midafternoon and it wasn't that busy. Service was good, not great. It's a Sports Bar, plenty of TVs. Decent beer list at reasonable prices. The appetizers seemed a little pricey for what you get, both quality and quantity. Burgers were properly cooked (a little pink as requested). The choice of toppings is good, I had a tough time choosing. Will have to go back again.

B-52 has got the burgers and there's no shortage of options. You can get just about any combo you can think of while sipping down on some drinks, chowing down on apps and thinking about all the other food they offer (but trust me, go with a burger). My wife and I sat on the rooftop patio which was well shaded and had a good amount of seating. We each got a drink and burgers. The People's Choice Award Winner of the 2018 TC Burger Battle was well deserved! The Carlton Burger had so many layers of flavor and was juicy beyond belief. The patty was seasoned well but was slightly overcooked to the pink I requested. The jalapeño bacon jam brought a nice level of sweetness and wasn't spicy which I actually liked. The cheese and herb mayo helped make this into one damn comfort meal that left no shortage of hunger. The Carlton - Fresh Hereford Beef patty, gruyere cheese, argula, jalapeno bacon jam, and herb mayo

Love the Lucy!!! Perfect medium beef on brioche.. added bacon.. literal perfection! Wild rice soup is the best I've had in the upper Midwest in a long time! Delicious

B-52 keeps getting better and better. I've been going here for about 3 years fairly regularly and they continue to improve. They have a new menu, good food, and reliable service every time. My bf forget his debit card when we went last night and the restaurant found it and kept it in a safe until he came and got it. We really appreciate the honesty and integrity of the employees on the night of 8/4/21!

Service was a little slow. Our server was a great server, just a busy place. It appears Tuesdays are Bingo night. Food was great! Definitely recommend the s'mores dessert. If you don't mind medium rare burger the juicy Lucy is good.

Good food but trash when it comes 2 sports. 3 top 25 matchups on the 3 broadcast spots(morning, afternoon and night and we had wheel of fortune on left screen. UPDATE: next night went 2 watch NFL. No tv on saints vs seahawks which is the national broadcast, smh. I don't mean 2 harp but how does a sports bar not have these games already on? Oh the service is trash. Told the bartender we (3 of us) were gonna just place orders 2 go. She looked at me and walked off, no menus until i asked the other bartender. Dropped my review 2 1 star. Good food, the rest is trash

Stopped in on Friday and it was quite full. With the snow their parking lot was full with about 5 cars. Parking was available at the hotel next door with a short walk. Friday fish for $9.99 was really good, I had mine broiled with broccoli as a side. Fish was done well with a nice spice rub on it. The cole slaw was ok, nothing spectacular but not the worst I have had either. My other half had the Carleton burger with tots. The burger was prepared as asked "medium" the bun was fresh. All the toppings went well together. The tots were good crispy tots. Service was good the waitress was attentive and kept out drinks full.

I have never encountered a more rude bartender. Drinks were gross, food was subpar, and Emma/Emily was appallingly disrespectful. Will not be back.

Burgers and Brews! Instead I went with the boneless wings and garlic fries for lunch. Excellent! Try the Cajun dry rub. Or, if your daring, the B-52 ghost pepper sauce. Either way, very good food and atmosphere. Also, get the Seoul Food Chicken sandwich. Hands down, best item on the menu.
