The burgers & juicy lucys we send people to in St. Paul (other neighborhoods). Part of our full burgers & juicy lucys guide and the St. Paul neighborhood guide.
A Payne Avenue pub on the East Side of St. Paul doing one of the best straightforward bar burgers in the metro. Smashed-style on a soft bun, no overengineering, draft list that goes deep on local. The kind of room where you arrive at six and leave at ten.
A St. Paul restaurant whose burger has quietly become one of the most-talked-about in the metro. Dry-aged blend, soft brioche, perfect cheese melt, almost annoyingly good fries. Order it at the bar with a martini.
Anna Morgan and Kevin Manley, who met working at 112 Eatery, run this tiny bistro out of the first floor of an apartment building, and the burger has a cult following to match the living-room feel. The fries are taken so seriously there is a dedicated potato chef. Small room, big burger.
The grand Victorian mansion in Irvine Park, dating to 1870, reopened in 2024 with a reimagined bar where the draw is the Irvine Park Burger, a blend of Wagyu, brisket, and chuck. White-tablecloth history with a serious burger at the bar.
