We had the pleasure of living in the Twin Cities for 3 years. In that time we didn't get a chance to visit all the restaurants we wanted too but it could have also been because we always ended up back at Nook. They have, hands down, the best burgers I have ever had. Is it any wonder that the... More

We saw the Nook on Diners, Drive In, and Dives. We decided to take the 70 mile drive to the cities just for the sole purpse of trying one of their burgers. Boy was the drive worth it!! Not only were our burgers cooked perfectly, and oozing with delicous cheese, the prices were so resonable. Besides the great food, all... More

Mike and Ted do a stand up job at The Nook! After a crippling fire they came back stronger than ever! You may even run into Joe Mayer!

Excellent food! Good hamburger with cheese volcano inside! Fries are delicious. The Triple B is also a good choice. Hamm's beer on tap, can't go wrong with The Nook.

Quaint little place. Need better signs to warn about not parking where I did. But it was slow enough that I could find street parking. I did like the food, the only hang up I have about the service is when they ask you about how you like the food but don't stand still long enough for you to answer.... More

Decided to eat here after reading the reviews from Trip Advisor. We arrived about 5:30 and it was already crowded, but was able to get a seat right away. But, it didn't take long for the place to fill up. There isn't much seating room so if you plan on going, go early. By the time we left, there was... More

Tried the nook for lunch. The burgers are great. Perfectly seasoned. The guys bite burger is by far the best burger in the menu. Even the roast beef in the burger was flavorful. Would definitely recommend this place.

I have eaten here many times and the burgers and fries are amazing!! Juicy burger, nice size, well cooked on a bun that is the right mix of soft but sturdy. Toppings are great, nice flavor combinations. The fries are just as good, freshly made (I've seen them carrying in crates of potatoes), with a hint of skin still on.... More
