Burger Restaurants in Minnesota

When Guy Fieri rolls into the Land of 10,000 Lakes, he knows he’s in for some serious burger action. Since 2008, the spikey-haired host of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives has featured six Minnesota burger joints on his iconic show, and the results speak for themselves—these spots boast an impressive average rating of 4.4 stars.

From the Twin Cities to the northern reaches of the state, Minnesota’s burger scene has earned its place in Triple D history. STEPCHLD in Minneapolis leads the pack with a stellar 4.8-star rating, while Gordy’s Hi-Hat in Cloquet brings classic roadside charm with 4.7 stars. Over in St. Paul—home to three featured restaurants—Casper & Runyon’s Nook has become a local legend at 4.6 stars.

With five of these six Flavortown-approved establishments still serving up their signature creations, Minnesota continues to prove that the Midwest knows how to stack a burger. Whether you’re craving a classic smash or something wildly creative, these Guy-approved spots deliver the goods.
