Went on a weekday evening with a larger group. The bar was almost full, and the dining room was about %40 full - and contrary to some of the posts here, the service was fine throughout. The food was very good - had the simple pan-fried chicken which I wasn't expecting too much from, but was perfectly and I mean perfectly cooked. In our group the burgers and pulled pork were also hits. But taking the cake for me was the Frickles (fried pickles). I don't really like pickles, so for me to like this dish was a huge surprise.
Bottom line: give the place a try, you might be surprised too.
Pros: Great spin on diner food. Try the Frickles!
Cons: "Adult" malts are hit-or-miss.

Our family goes to Liberty on a regular basis for "ice cream"/frozen custard and a hot dog, though they also have sandwiches, soup, pizza, and now even breakfast from 7 a.m. (waffles, breakfast sandwiches, oatmeal with toppings). In the fall they installed a fireplace and a couple of couches for the winter. The kids love everything about it, and we do, too. Liberty is built into a very clean and refurbished 1950s gas station/repair shop with 1950s furniture and tin signs on the walls. Old Life magazines are on a table and a couple of antique arcade games are available for play. Also, a little, vintage sedan that bumps up and down (as at the front of large department stores) is indoors and is fun for younger kids. Our favorite game is an antique baseball game that plays for a long time for a quarter. The games are family friendly and are not loud. In 2008, Liberty began selling a few types of old candy (like Charleston Chews, Chuckles) and little balsa airplane sets for $1.75 or so. At breakfast, they have coffee, espresso, mochas, etc. and will add a free dollop of custard if you like. I don't know if they have mochas and such at other times of day--maybe. The people that work there are nice. It's a great neighborhood spot that's worth visiting from other neighborhoods. Liberty Frozen Custard is near the intersection of Nicollet Ave S. and Diamond Lake Rd (54th Ave.) in SW Minneapolis. Go a block north on Nicollet from that intersection and it's across from the fire station. And it's just a minute from the Diamond Lake exit from 35W. After you take that exit, just go west on Diamond Lake Rd. one block and then turn right (north) onto Nicollet Ave. and go one block. Oh, and the custard is mmm good.
Pros: Unique 1950s atmosphere, tasty frozen custard and food, family friendly, fun place to be
Cons: Service is good but not speedy, similar speed to other custard places

This is a burger joint in the food court at the mall of america. Yet it has stature far greater than that. Don't get me wrong, it is still a buger joint, but at the same time it has a distinct un-fastfoody feel about it.
They make a great, if greasy, burger here. The malts/shakes are pretty good but not great. DO NOT get one of their flavored cokes. They are expensive and not worth it.
The ambiance is 50's motif. Frankly the constant din of camp snoopy and the 50's music they play wears on me. Some day I will go in with a roll of nickles and play the same song back to back all day just to get back at them.
Overall, this is a great choice for a quick, reasonable lunch at the Mall.
Seating is limited unless you walk out to the food court area.
Pros: food, price
Cons: ambiance, seating minimal
