Tin Cup's

really enjoyed our waiter- she was very sweet and real with us. had the blt and it was good! its a low-key joint and the vibe was good. me and friends orders ginger ale and they ran out so it tasted mostly like water.

Attentive bartender Good food Fair prices

This place is HORRIBLE!!!! The service is sicken. I was told that if i am allergic to cheese then i need to order something else INSTEAD of asking them to take the cheese of my sandwhich! I had a flare up because i DID ask for no cheese and they decided to put cheese on my sandwhich anyway! Ive never been here before, and trust me i will never go back to the infested diner again! I asked for a new sandwich to be made, they said no, THE MANAGER told me to come get my refund and dont come back!!! ( as if i would ) I was chased out by management after asking for coorpare number. NEVER IN MY LIFE have i been treated like this and my 30+ years of living here i have never had an customer service experience like this before. I should have went with my first mind and never went! Ive never been in and i promise to not come back!! Disgusting.

You know what ain't here? Division. Just people, of all color, having a great time together.

Flew home for family reunion. My son lives in St Paul and recommended Tin Cup's for food. Wow!!! Friendly, amazing bartender, Mike, great drinks, and the BEST fried chicken we have ever had!! Makes it tough to want it from anywhere else again! Thank you to you all, I will be back! (Probably before I leave 😉). We do have to talk about the tequila referral tho lol...

Tin Cup's is definitely the kind of burger place you enjoy finding in your own backyard. It has that old townie bar feel to it. Great burger at a pretty reasonable price.

Great burgers and chicken. I'm not really into the bar scene but the food is worth it.

food is really good. none of the staff wear their masks properly. the bartender didn’t have hers on for like 2 minutes saying “oh I lost it!”. why did you take it off in the first place? no cooks in the back wearing them either. Got a vodka lemonade from our server, after we paid our tab I went to the bar and tried ordering a angry orchard cider, the bartender denied me since my ID was expired. Weird, because in the state of MN you have until 10/31/20 to get your ID, since you know everything is backed up until two months from now at least. just thought it was funny that the actual waitress served me alcohol instead of the bartender. oh well!

Neighborhood gem, whole-in-the-wall, lovable dive. Voted best burger (2013) in the TC and featured on Man vs Food TV. Kind of felt like we were extras on a set of Cheers, where everyone knew everyone's name. Super clean and attentive, friendly staff. We visited around noon on a Saturday and had the place to ourselves for the first ten minutes. We ordered the Tin Cup burger - and the burger lived up to the name. Two Patties with cheese, bacon and onion rings. Served with steak sauce. Comes with fries - but upgradable to onion rings (which is my preference). I'm a pickle kind of gal, wishing this one came with some We agreed we'd return, specifically to try the Lucy's on the menu.

This is not a safe place. There is no security. When I was assaulted tonight the management teased me when they knew St Paul PD was on the way. The officers stayed away from the entrance this should tell you something. Tin Cup is on the verge of a tragic indicdent. I dont recommend going here until many changes are implemented,

Lived in the neighborhood 3 years. Wanted a beer and a burger. Decided to finally check this place out. It was Monday. The only person who spoke to me the 10 minutes I was there was the young lady at the front asking if I wanted to buy perfume. It was not busy. Took a seat at the far end of the bar and waited for one of the two people behind the bar to come ask my order. Instead they conversed with their friends, mess around with their phones and completely ignored me for the ten minutes I was there. Decided it wasn't worth waiting. Not sure what this place is about, but it's not service or making money.

I'm a little embarrassed about how long I'd lived within walking distance of Tin Cup's before trying it. In my defense, it had a worse reputation a decade or so ago, but after seeing it get some positive attention, I decided I should give it a shot. I was in the mood for a straightforward club sandwich with some fries. Tin Cup's definitely delivered on that front. My sandwich was satisfying, and it was a good serving of fries. Those fries were thick and crispy, like they were left in the fryer for about twenty extra seconds. The only thing unique about the club sandwich was that the bacon came as a dense, dry crumble than as freshly cooked strips. And I actually liked that about it. It was a nine dollar entree, and I think I got my money's worth. Tin Cup's is mostly a neighborhood bar, and the actual bar is impressively long and tended to with gusto. They also have a pull tab window. The purpose of those continues to elude me, but maybe you get what to do with those. I will return here because it's convenient, and to maybe try one of their Juicy Lucys.

W H A T T H E .......... Well gee, I just don't know. I have been coming here since I was a little girl in the 1950's. Yes, I acknowledge that I am old. My parents and I came here about once a month or so, and my dad always got the fried chicken, as it was their specialty. The aroma walking in was a mixture of cigarette smoke and frying chicken. Always packed!! Fast forward: In the last 20 years, we have been here about 10 times. It never has been "packed". The ambiance and vibes are the same, the bar is the same (except for the tvs), the people are basically the same, but certainly not the food! Now, the food has always been ok, mediocre. However, our last visit here was soooo disappointing. The sign said " Voted Best Burgers", so ok, I'll try one. My Philly Dip burger was not at all what I expected, but the problem was that the beef was not fresh. It wasn't spoiled, but it was old. The cheese was minimal. Not very Juicy! Our cheese curds were a little overcooked and dry. My friend's mushroom swiss burger was smothered in mushrooms, and looked pretty good. It was surely better than mine! Even though it wasn't very busy, our food took a long time to be prepared. Maybe our timing was bad, maybe we arrived right after the other tables? Either way, we did leave full, but not with tasty food. D I S A P P O I N T I N G

I came here for dinner. From the outside you wouldn't imagine it being as big as it is, but it goes pretty far back. We happened to come during bingo but it wasn't busy. My husband and I split the 4 piece chicken meal, you could get all dark meat if you wanted, so we did. Delicious. It also came with a side. We got the sweet potato fries, they were amazing, probably the best I've ever had. At one point the bar tender was missing so our beers took a while but our server kept us informed. He came back and we got ice cold beers. The food was great.

Will be sad to see this Burger Mecca leave STP, as it's a legit dive bar staple with awesomely greasy, indulgent grub. Myself and my burger-throating brethren ventured to Tin Cup's on several occasions and only our last trip there did we go all out and get their 4 patty monstrosity of a burger, The Rice Street Pounder. It consists of 4 thin patties, deliciously glued together with 4 different kinds of cheese and garnished (haha) with crispy bacon strips. Each bite of that beast karate chopped our tastebuds and inspired clean plates for all. It sounds as though TC's will stay in business, but will be moving into the burbs. Wherever they may land, help them flourish by bringing your empty stomach to their tables.

Don't know why I haven't written a review yet, as I go here usually 1-2 times a week. I'm a hockey fan, and I like to go there to watch the games. I don't always eat food, because financially I'm not that well off, but I do at least get a beverage when I go, so I don't feel bad. When I do get food. I've tried at least 1 item in each category. However, I now know what I like and I usually stick to those options. When I've had their food, I've enjoyed it, and I have no complaints. The Atmosphere is fun, and I feel very welcome. You can definitely tell it's a family owned establishment. They are all great at remembering people, and it's a nice experience. There has been a fight or two when I've gone, but all staff and even regular patrons, end it, and kick the person out and/or call the cops. The don't allow and will not allow that ever! I feel bad for the establishment that people thing they can do that there or anywhere. They don't deserve that at all. Love this place!

Always great food! One of the best places to get a Juicy Lucy in the Twin Cities. It's also very reasonably priced, and gives out big portion sizes!

Okay, it's a dive bar. But that's not necessarily a bad thing. It's also a neighborhood bar, which means you run into regulars. Their burgers and Jucy's are really the best in the area. It's a family-run joint, and they really work hard to give you great, friendly service. My favorites are the Tin Cup's Burger, the patty melt, and the "Northender", grilled chicken breast. They have broasted chicken, which for some reason a lot of places don't serve any more, though it was pretty much required for family restaurants for a while. They all come with fries, but you can get mashed potatoes and gravy or onion rings on the side as well (I really like their onion rings). I wouldn't call the place "fine dining", but that's not what it tries to be. It's certainly superior to most sports bar chain food. The owners are very active in the neighborhood, frequently hosting fundraisers for various charitable causes. They do things neighborhood bars should all do: karaoke, meat raffles, bingo. Best time for families is during the day, or late afternoon. It does often get pretty loud and rowdy on weekend nights. Parking can also be tricky, since there's a popular Asian grocery and a liquor store in the same strip mall, and the lot is tiny. Great burger joint in the North End.

Tin cups is a wonderful place to grab a bite to eat. I remember going to tin cups when I was a little kid with my dad and now I'm 22. So, that tells you they've been around for awhile. Their food is delicious. It's always prepared nicely and comes out hot. I've never had cold food here, before. The waitresses are also extremely kind and passionate about their job. I really like how tin cups gives back to the community. What tin cups did for "Bones" is so incredible and kind. They also held a sort of 'after party' for those who attended An East Side Christmas for Miguel's family this past Christmas. I have also seen other posts on social media about how tin cups has raised money for a children's sports group on the east side. There's so many more things they have done for the community but these are just a few. Knowing how much Tin Cups cares about their customers and the east side community really tells you what kind of establishment they are. Definitely recommend, especially if you've never been here before.

We have been coming in for years and 3 different owners. All were good, but for quite a few years now this owner is all for the community. Not only is the food great, (I can review almost the full menu) I can say, I am very impressed what she gives back to her community. With the teachers strike she is feeding any child that comes in Grill Cheese and Fries and a safe place to be. Awesome food and a great business owner.

Food is good. Love the community and the company. Go there for burger sometime soon. Their chicken great too!

We had high hopes. Tin Cup, on the corner of Rice and Maryland in the North End, is a neighborhood landmark, in part owing to its iconic sign (restored a few years back after lightning strike). Apparently the previous owners took the hint from god and folded the business. To appreciate what the new Tin Cup is like, I just need to point out what the old Tin Cup was like. A windowless concrete tub full of Michelob Light swillers and pull tabs. Depressing. I believe they offered Totino's-type pizza for the bar menu. During the renovation, I spoke with Ray over at Mike's Texaco (who is also on St. Paul District 6 and owner of one of last full-serve service stations). He was pretty excited about the reopening of Tin Cup because he said eating at Mama's was catching up to him as he pointed to his waist. Now Tin Cup is reopened, complete with windows. The interior is so much brighter than before that it made me smile as I walked in to think that the Rice Street redevelopment was slowly improving the quality of local restaurants. Picky, picky, but they lack a theme, in terms of both decor and menu. Part bar, part steak house, part hamburger joint. I think a clear direction would help sort them out. The server, who could barely keep his hands out of his front pockets, raved about the juicy lucys, so my wife ordered that and I ordered the ribs. The ribs were meaty enough and tender, albeit a tad fatty, but I suspect they use bbq sauce out of the bottle, so nothing interesting there. They served a side of homemade potato chips, and those were nice little treat. Not too greasy, yet crisp. My wife's juicy lucy -- the one with bleu cheese -- was sadly so-so. For one thing, the bun was a soggy mess. The hamburger was over done, sort of chewy (and I know cause I stole some bites). So, alas, we have no need to return there until we hear of how they correct course. It's no surprise to me that the owner, in this Pioneer Press article (http://bit.ly/9Eqr4P), cites his favorite restaurants as Don Pablos, Outback, and Chilis. If those are your favs, then definitely check out the Tin Cup.

We ordered the Onion rings $5.49 & the Minnie Tinnies $24.99. Gidget was amazing she always kept our soda (pop) filled & had a great personality. The Minnie Tinnies included: Cedar Avenue, Lucifer, French dipper, Inside Out California, Eggcellent Lucy, and the Dirty Lucy. Our favorites were the Cedar Avenue and Lucifer. For the French dipper before dunking, dip the corner the Au jus taste like soy sauce. excellent service.

Fried chicken is the best I have had in the twin cities for years. Flavorful crispy crust and chicken that does not leave you with that oily aftertaste or feeling I get with other places. I had given up on fried chicken until I tried this recipe that was handed down from the original owner. You can order their full size wings this way also. The five stars is for the chicken. The fries are good, coleslaw, I thought the hamburger patty was a little weak, meaning it tasted like a frozen patty and the mashed potatoes were ok. Rival restaurant gets high marks and price for their chicken, I liked tin cups better and the price.

If your car breaks down and you're absolutely starving, please head to the gas station across the street rather than eat here. The fried chicken is fairly decent, though the dark meat was still raw inside (the white piece was fine) but the batter is palate-deadening salty. My auntie had the roast beef sandwich which was fine, while the mashed potatoes where refrigerator cold and served with canned gravy. The server asked if I wanted the coleslaw (it's supposed to be included with the meal) because, she said, most people don't eat it and it goes to waste! (Probably because it's awful institutional grade). Don't even get me started on the watered-down drinks.

Great burgers! Love this place they love supporting their community and that has my allegiance to come back time and time again did I mention GREAT burgers!? Thank you for hosting yesterday's (05/30/15) fundraiser for my BIL brother Peter Yang whom lost his 4 yr old daughter in a house fire. Tin Cup has my respect!

Love this little dive bar/grill. A St Paul original.

I have been coming here for awhile mainly just to drink as there were no vegetarian options. Fries and onion rings were all I could get. I have asked for more options.....possibly a veggie burger or something. I was told that veggie burgers didn't sell. I explained this to one of their cooks on staff and he said that when he is working he will totally make something I can eat. I took him up on his offer yesterday. It was fantastic. A wrap with mushrooms tomatoes and lettuce, it was spiced perfectly. I was so excited to eat something other than just fries and onion rings. He says he's pushing for more vegetarian options. I hope so.......I like this establishment a lot and enjoy coming here. My husband and myself would love to be able eat dinner here often. If they get these vegetarian options I'm sure we will be able to do that.

I went the next day because I wanted my husband to try it. On a lark I got the fried chicken. This stuff is awesome, I don't usually eat fries, these were fantastic as well. The coleslaw is even better than most places. They have their own jucy lucy too. It's a little too clean to be a dive. Jury's still out on that one.

A couple of my friends from work wanted to try this place after seeing it featured in the challenge segment on Man vs. Food Nation. I hadn't been here since I was a kid, but also wanted to check it out. Gone is the thick cloud of cigarette smoke that I remember from my youth, but the predominantly senior citizen clientele remains the same. There are plenty of copies of The Bingo Bugle in the entryway for your reading leisure. I had no desire to try the Lucifer challenge shown on the MVF episode, but I did get a Lucy with jalapenos and the Diablo sauce on the side. It was decent, but I think I slightly prefer Blue Door or Matt's. My friend who ordered the fried chicken (which is their other claim to fame) thought it was excellent.

I was watching Man vs Food on my hotel tv while staying in Minneapolis and the featured restaurant was called Tin Cup in the St. Paul part of the Twin Cities. I searched my iPhone and found Tin Cup about 5 miles from the Mall of America. ROAD TRIP! The restaurant was really a dive bar... I arrived a little before 11:00 am and was surprised the only other person in the bar was an older man nursing a Bloody Mary. The bartender was nice and personable giving me a menu and answering questions about the featured hamburger (or Juicy Lucy if you will) called The Lucifer. This was a half pound burger stuffed with pepper jack cheese, sliced jalapeño peppers and topped with a spicy Diablo sauce. The burger was hot (as in fresh off the grill), juicy and had a good spice to it. It was a palatable spice, not the kind of spicy that hurts your insides all day long. At $8.99 this was a fantastic lunch value! If you are visiting the Minneapolis area and have a rental car and a GPS device... Head out to Tin Cup and enjoy a Juicy Lucy!

OK. I wanted to love this place. I really, really did. And honestly? The food was fabulously greasy and delicious (pot roast melt, hello). But someone needs to tell management a few things.. like, have more than one server on duty on a Sunday afternoon. Oh and maybe more than one cook. And perhaps food prep and better time management would make things go a bit more smoothly, too. We ordered. The server was busy. I am probably the most forgiving person when it comes to that.. but it took over an HOUR to get our food. Tables had arrived after us, got their food and paid before we even touched ours. I want to go back, but next time I'll go in with really low expectations and plan on being their for two hours. You've been warned.

After watching the epsiode on Man vs. Food, my wife and I had to try it out since its only 5 minutes away from our house in St. Paul. This visit was on a Sunday night and I ordered the Jucy Lucy with the fried egg (I want to say it was the Egganator, but forgot). Wife ordered the Ruben. We sat at the bar and sat there for awhile. It took 50 mintues for our food to arrive. I can somewhat understand if the place was packed full of people especially after airing on national TV, but the place was only 1/3 full. I could tell the bartender (our server) went back in the kitchen a few times to check, but never came and told us sorry for the wait. We could see inside the kitchen and their was two cooks running around like crazy, but barely any food left the kitchen. Not to sure what that was all about. After the food arrived my burger was good. Cooked medium well and and good flavor. Wife enjoyed her Ruben and didn't really have any other complaints. I would give them another shot, but just frustrating when the food took forever and no acknowledgement from the bartender about it.

First timers here. The Eggcilent Lucy was mouth watering and really tasty. You can never go wrong with a fried egg, bacon and fried onions! Tots were good as well, season sour cream is always a must. The waiter was grest, she kept the drinks coming. I also enjoyed some of my husbands fries. :)

I have been addicted to the Juicy Lucifer from my very first bite. I thought after completing the challenge 2 years ago that I wouldn't like it as much. Nope still my favorite Lucy in the twin cities. Tin Cups also is a big supporter in the community. I try to attend each fundraiser. Its about the only way I try their other foods. My other family members love their broasted chicken or the other burgers. I like their tacos for a neighborhood sports bar restaurant. I will add to my comments after I give their fish fry a go on Friday. Great food, great service and they do care about the community. Love this place I went back and tried their fish fry on a Friday. They serve them like a tender. lightly breaded. Enough for some crispiness and around a hunk of tasty fish. All I can say is yum!

Ate here a decade ago and still remember how good the burger was and exactly what a ordered (I was 9). Love this place one of the many things I've missed since I moved.

Terrific dive-like bar. We saw Tin Cup's on the Food network. We had been looking for another place in the Twin Cities to try a juicy Lucy burger and had a friend flying through town that we wanted to expose to the burger phenomenon. While it was 'blackjack night' we were able to find a table quickly (on a Thursday night), and the service was good. She was able to cook the Lucy burger well done (on the menu it said medium was the only option for Lucy burgers) so I was thankful for that (since I'm pregnant I'm not supposed to have medium). I had a 'dirty' Lucy while my friends split a Lucifer (Lucy stuffed with jalapenos and cheese) and another Lucy. All three of us cleaned our baskets, fries (or onion rings) and all. While you can tell it's also a local hangout, we had a great time.

Tin Cup's is an iconic bar/grill on the East side. The owner, Gidget Bailey is the most endearing woman you will ever want to meet. She tirelessly watches out for the people in her community. She calls out public officials when they err, and she holds fundraisers for groups, causes and individuals in need. If you ever get a chance to be there during one of the fundraisers, definitely try the tacos ~ they are fantastic!! Tin Cups is a jewel in the city of St. Paul!

If the service stays the same, this place is going to be out of business in three months. My wife and I were there on a Thursday at 6:00 PM (12/6/12) waitress arrived after ten minutes, placed bar and food order, my beer arrived ten minutes later and my wife's in another five minutes. My waitress never showed up till I stood up at an hour and twenty minutes later and said we were leaving. Then she says I think your food is ready (It was sitting in the kitchen window, mine for 20 minutes and my wife's for 10). If the waitress would of even stopped by I would have order at least 2 more beers, but absolutely nothing! Then the waitress wanted me to take the cold food to go. I have stopped here for lunch a few times and ate at the bar, the bartender Mike Evgen has been quick very polite, with my food arriving quickly. The owners need to do some management, we have more choices on Rice Street.

Stopped in for lunch today...as I've been meaning to try a burger that was rated #1... The server was nice, a little forgetful in the end...but nothing awful or enough to write this place off. I had the Smokey BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger....it was good, not great but definitely nothing wrong with it. Some of the other menu items sounded good...so I'm sure I will stop in again some time. Thanks Tin Cup.

Came here to get take out dinner food on a Sunday night. The food was OK, got the Juicy Lucy burger, the bun was soggy and so was the fries. The ambiance is simply described as "Rice St" like. Which means you wouldn't see me here after dark. Save yourself the mugging and head to The Nook in Highland Park if you really want an awesome Juicy Lucy.

Stopped in to Tin Cup yesterday after a showing at The Klub Haus. Food was pretty good bar fare. The Juicy Lucys were tasty. They seemed a little unequipped to handle the crowd. It took us forever to get a second beer while chowing on our burgers. Maybe if I was a regular f.rom the neighborhood we would have gotten better service. It also took more than a half hour to receive our food

Definitely one of my favorite dive-ish bars. The burgers here are amazing! And definitely try the Tin Cup Sundae (literally sent from God). A fun place to do some people watching. If you like karaoke, you'll find a few diamonds in the rough here! Oh and did I mention the burgers?

I'm really glad that they didn't close down at the beginning of May, like their Facebook page said. I've been going since they reopened on 6/1/10 and I love this place. Always cheap beer, delicious food, and friendly service. Have you tried the sauce they serve with the sweet potato fries? It's the bomb. I'm glad that they don't have that drunken guy Burt hosting karaoke anymore on Friday nights. He was a hot mess. If you're in the neighborhood and want to have an inexpensive night out, I highly recommend this place.

Probably a 3.5 rating. We stopped tonight to see what the new owners had done and were offering. Nicely cleaned up, but lacking identity. Bar food menu of burgers, chicken, appetizers and flat bread pizzas. Fair selection of beers, including some nice offerings from Schell's in New Ulm. The waitress was very nice, but had a bit of a problem getting the order correct. She was, however, quick to rectify the mistakes. We'll go back. Flavorful burgers, good kettle chips and friendly service. Hope they make it and maybe add a few more dinner type items to the menu. This area needs something in addition to Mama's (which we really love!).

Neighborhood joint; nothing fancy here and that's the way we like it!!! Went on a Friday fish fry; very tasty! Tin Cup is known for its broasted chicken, which never disappoints. The new owners are very community-oriented and have also spent some $ remodeling. Biggest suggestion: fix up the bathrooms. Well worth the $.

The first thing is, is this is a quintessential blue collar, north-side, local joint. The food is good, especially the Lucys--they're jammin' and molten. The fries are shoestring and tasty. The beers are cold and plentiful. (No fancy beers here, but I can get down with a $2 Busch Light tall-boy on occasion) Expect to wait a while for service if you come during peak-times. They hardly ever have enough servers on Friday and Saturday nights.

Kind of a dive sports bar. My soccer team and I went there after a tournament to celebrate our championship, and the staff was great - very friendly, and no displeasure shown in serving a large group. Pretty standard bar food. I got the chicken fingers, but they were standard. However, they didn't have honey mustard! Am I weird for wanting honey mustard with my chicken fingers? Some of my buddies got dishes that looked great, such as their nachos, flatbread pizza, and the fish fry. They also had a guy singing and playing the guitar if you're into the whole "live music" thing. Not really for me though. It's a good place to hit up after a kickball game with your friends!

I am lowering my review because the last few times we went here, it just had a different vibe. Also, just FYI if you have any certificates, restaurant.com, trubates, etc..they do not accept them anymore so just get a refund from wherever you purchased the certificate from.

Food was really good, prices more than reasonable, but the service was sub par. The place was maybe 1/5th full and it took 45 min to get our food.

I have been wanting to try a Jucy Lucy for quite a while. I have been reading about the rivalry between the 5-8 Club and Matts Bar and Grill in Minneapolis about which place invented the Jucy Lucy and who has the best. Being from St Paul and knowing there are quite a few places that have a version of a Jucy Lucy, I wanted to spend my Jucy Lucy dollars on this side of town. I was all set to go to a different place in St Paul, but upon reading about the Tin Cup and there version of this burger, I decided the Tin Cup will get my first Jucy Lucy dollars. It helped to that it is very close to me. As others have mentioned, it is a blue collar bar/restaurant place. Nothing fancy, but decent enough for me. It has about 20 stools at the bar, 2 rows of tables and a row of booths. As a guess, I would say a capacity of 100 - 120. Fairly large to me. I went there about noon. Two guys at the bar, 2 parties in the booth area. None at the tables. Pretty quiet it seemed to me. That's OK. I am no into crowds. I sit down at a booth and was quickly offered a menu and asked about a drink order. Water is fine for now. Quickly was served a large glass of ice water. Very refreshing on this cold winter day !!! After a few minutes of looking over the menu, I decided on the Luicfer. A Jucy Lucy stuffed with pepper jack cheese and Jalapenos, topped with a Diablo Sauce. The waitress took my order and verified my desire to have it cooked medium. I was served with my burger/fries in about 15 minutes. That is a decent amount of time. I would be concerned if it was shorter, that the burgers are semi cooked and finished after an order is placed. The burger is served in a standard basket lined with red/white checkered food paper. If wanting it served on a plate, they will do so if you ask. Basket is fine for me. I wish I would have brought my camera to get a pic. It was a nice looking burger and fries. No camera with me today. I asked for a refill of my water and it was quickly brought to me. I let the burger cool a bit, nibbling on the fries. After a few minutes, I bit into the so wonderful burger. First bite there was not much cheese, which is what I would expect for a stuffed burger. Second bite, OH MY, delicious, wonderful, gooey cheese, with a jalapeno slice. YUM. I liked the bun. Nothing fancy, just a basic fresh white bun, slightly toasted. A bit of the Diablo sauce dripped off the burger, into the basket. I forgot to taste it separately. As I was getting near the center of this burger, more cheese and a few too many jalapenos. I like jalapenos, but it kinda over powered the rest of the burger. It is a very decent Jucy Lucy, but my eyeballs didn't pop out. When my eyeballs pop out, I have hit the jackpot. Sadly, this didn't happen. My search for an eyeballs popping out Jucy Lucy continues.

We had dinner during the mid week at less than half capacity. We waited a long time for our food but the drinks were good and atmosphere was comfortable for a dive bar. The food was worth it! I had the French Dipper juicy Lucy and it was possibly the best burger Ive iever had. My friend had the walleye special....also yum! My advice....stay away from the house chips and pay for the fries. The chips are marginal at best. My friend says the chips are @?$&$! Terrible.

On the search for the most amazing burger I stopped in the Tin Cup who has quite the reputation for a Juicy Lucy......I have to say although I am quite impressed with the service and staff. The food is just sub-par. My cheeseburger was clearly the pre-formed frozen with little to no taste. I believe the chili was the kind bought in bulk and poured out of can. Great Service, but not the best burger in the twin cities. My search continues!

Pot Roast Melt. Waiting for the 62 Bus so I can go pick up my absentee ballot.

This is a home town favorite...a place that my family has been going to for a few generations...th people are great..I am always welcomed. It has warm, your a part of something special feel. I never stop smiling while I am here. The food is wonderful. My fave is the cedar burger...and the fries are bomb. I can't say enough for the tacos..yum! My Jed loves the inside out California burger. The owner Gidget is awesome. She always says hello. Opens her place of business for others try to Make it as well...she loves her community so much and plans many activities and events to keep the neighborhood together and safe ! Tin cup is also a rockin place to throw a benefit too. The community will really help out if it's for a great cause.

I no longer eat here. The last time, about a year ago was the final straw. Service is always very slow. The food can be good, but not worth the wait. Again the last time there we had a run in with a drunk regular. We were there for lunch. Not sure why they were serving him in his state.

Actually went back. The wait was slightly less, they fixed the fries. There's just something great about a burger stuffed with Jalapenos. My kid got chicken fingers this time and they were very good. The fries seem better and much more plentiful, and the sweet potato fries were nice too (need a better sauce though).

Food and service are the best. Staff very friendly and helpful. The tin cup sundae is the bomb.
