I've been here a number of times within the past year and the experience has been inconsistent, and mostly on the bad side. There's usually a really long wait to get seated, which I wouldn't mind, except I would expect something worth waiting for then. The burgers are pretty good, but if you ask for it done medium don't expect anything less than well done. On a recent visit we waited a 1/2 hour for the food and the fries were cold and soggy. The service is also very slow. On my last visit we had to catch the bus boy to ask him to get our waiter so we could pay. I'm not going back. Go to Blue Door Pub instead. Pros: sometimes good food Cons: Wait times, food

Every time I have been to the Nook, I have truly enjoyed the burgers that I have had. I would recommend this place to anyone and everyone. I have never had such a juicy delicious burger in my life. the last time i went, on a Monday, 6/21/09, was the worst burger I have ever had. Not only was my burger dry and without cheese,(I had the new philly cheese burger) but my wife had her usual shwishmushroom burger and it was burnt and dry also. both burger buns were burnt black and were dry and had a mouth drying effect. I had a couple beers, but that sure didnt help. I love the Nook and will never discourage people from going and enjoying the awesome burgers, but beware of the mid afternoon cook. we went at 2:30 in the afternoon and, well, cr@p. I love you Nook, but damn that last time I was there, it was horrible. Pros: I have always enjoyed and loved the burgers at the nook. Cons: the last time i went was the worst I have ever had

Hands down these are the best burgers in Minnesota. Loved the Paul Molitor. Plan on waiting for a table though. I have yet to visit the Nook and there is no wait. If you have a little patience, you will be rewarded with great burgers and fries. For a hearty appetite, order the Nookie Supreme! Pros: Great burgers and fries! Cons: No good time to go to avoid the crowds.

I love the juicy nookie with fried onions and fresh cut fries. LOVE! I also love the pizza here. I don't love the cramped room nor the atmosphere. Plus, it can take awhile to receive your food. FOR SURE the best burger in town. Pros: Juicy Nooky, Heggies Pizza Cons: Ambience, slow, location with street parking

The Nook has a strong reputation in the Twin Cities, which is puzzling. I've found the place to be consistently mediocre at best, and a lunch visit earlier today continued that trend. Specifically- 1. Being busy & having to wait for a table is understandable. But having two parties (8 people & 3 people) seated AFTER us be served their food well AHEAD of us isn't. We ended up waiting over 30 minutes for 3 burgers. 2. My burger was ordered medium, but arrived cooked beyond well done. The cold fries completed the experience. 3. I politely pointed this out to the server, who explained that it wasn't her fault, but the kitchen's fault. Huh??? (The manager did deduct $2 from the bill, which seems almost petty.) There are much better places in the Twin Cities for a local neighborhood burger. Matt's Bar in Minneapolis and the new Blue Door Pub in St. Paul are head & shoulders above The Nook.

We are from North Dakota. We saw the Nook on The Food Network with Guy Fieri. My son thought we should check it out the next time we were in the Cities. It was all Guy said it was. We go there every time we are able too. Juicy Nookie and fries are awesome. Worth the trip. A must to check out!

I had heard from friends from the area that The Nook was the place to go for good food. Never bothered to try it since I'm not from the area. Saw it on Food Network and finally decided I had to give it a shot and I was NOT disappointed. My burger was one of the best I've ever had but the fries. MAN THE FRIES! Best fries EVER!!! Check this place out!!! Pros: The entire experience was awesome! Cons: Parking isnt the easiest as there is no real lot.
