My wife and I went to Burger Moe's last night and we had a great meal. She had a Juicy Burger and I had the Axtel. Both were excellent. Tasty onion rings and the fries were better than I had been told. Also, Moe the owner was there to greet everyone and our server was very attentive and friendly. I highly recommend this place.

I'm assuming those onion rings are homemade. I saw in a review or on their site that they have summit beer batter for the rings.

So many places use frozen ones. So this will be on the "must try" list.

Went to Burger Moe's yesterday for lunch. The porch is still lovely. Service was fine (a bit over attentive, but that may have just been a reflection of my desire for some quiet time).

Had the Denny Burger (cheese, bacon, fried egg + lettuce, tomato and red onion) with a side of onion rings and a chocolate milkshake.

Burger was excellent. Very juicy (you can even see the drippings soaking into the bun in the picture). The bacon was especially good, very thick and peppery, but severing cleanly with a bite. The yolk was still molten and added to the yum. It was a messy but very tasty lunch. (fyi - the photo shows cucumbers on the burger - they came as a garnish and I added them to the burger.)

The onion rings were crunchy and a little greasy. The onion inside was fully cooked (which is how I prefer them). They stayed together when you ate them, rather than shattering or having the onion pull out of the batter. Batter had some oomp to it, which worked well in this case.

Milkshake was good, very smooth and creamy, not a ton of chocolate taste. It came with spoon and straw. I like mine a bit more loose, I'm more of a drinker than an eater of milkshakes.

Lunch came to $15 w/o tip. And I headed back to work fuller and happier.

I've been there several times now... here is a quick report:

* Service is very friendly and attentive

* Cheese curds are the best I've had in a restaurant since the Nook. They also have a particularly interesting marinara sauce...

* The angus burgers are a combination of sirloin, short ribs, chuck, and brisket... and taste GREAT! If I remember correctly, the menu states that the burgers will be brought out medium, unless requested otherwise... so far they haven't served me a burger that was less than medium-well (more on the well side). Nevertheless, the flavor of their burgers has been consistently outstanding. Also, the buns are from PJ Murphy's (who supplies the Nook).

* Overall, I *highly* recommend Burger Moe's.

Went to Burger Moe's Sunday evening. Overall, very good experience. Service was very good - quick without being dotting, courteous, and knowledgeable.

I had the Blue Sky Burger - blue cheese and caramelized onions - and ordered it very rare, as I usually order my burgers. Surprisingly, it came out very rare. Getting a burger cooked truly rare in the Twin Cities is hard, as most places tend to overcook a bit, but Burger Moe's got it spot on. The burger itself was very good, well seasoned beef that was tender and flavorful. Very nice roll that worked well with the burger - it neither distracted from nor was overwhelmed by the main ingredients. I also ordered the Tuscan fries with it, which are fries seasoned with Italian herbs and Parmesan. Good fries - a nice change of pace from the usual plain fries. They weren't the best fries I've had, but nonetheless were good.

My significant other had the salmon burger, of which I had a small taste. It too was very good - great salmon flavor, yet without overwhelming the additional small diced ingredients in the burger (red pepper and onion maybe?).

In addition, their beer list is very nice, including several interesting tap beers I hadn't tried before.

Overall, I had a great first impression of Burger Moe's. When wanting a burger and not being able to easily get to my go-to spot in the Twin Cities (Buster's on 28th), I'll be heading to Burger Moe's. Easily worth several return trips.

Went a few weeks back at lunch time. The patio is great in that space. Service was attentive and accurate.

My burger (Moe's Original I think it was called) was pretty good - only issue I had with it was I was told it would be served medium and it came out medium rare, almost cool in the center. I am OK with that, but I know a lot of people are not, so I hope they get that fixed.

The onion rings were delicious. The server said they were Summit beer batter. They were crisp and chewy and had just the slightest bitter undertone from the beer. Yum.

I'll definitely go back. Only wish they had better beer. Sigh.

I almost convinced my sweetheart to go there with me last night. I've been wanting to try those onion rings.

What do they have for beer. I thought they were touting their beer list.

[NugarifiK]

They have 40 beers on tap priced in three tiers. The selection is broken up as such: 1919 Rootbeer, 5 domestic beers, and the remaining 34 taps are either import or craft beers. They sell their beer in pints or 25oz frosty mugs.

As far as food goes, my favorite item on the menu is the lamb burger...ridiculously juicy and delicious.

[karykat]

This is definitely on my must-try-soon list. Have to see what they have in the way of craft beers on tap. That frosty mug sounds refreshing on this humid afternoon. But 25 oz would definitely slow me down!

Went back last week and tried the lamb burger. I was hoping for something along the lines of W. A. Frost's bar menu lamb burger, which (when they have it) is so. good. I was not impressed with Burger Moe's version. The lamb was heavinly seasoned with mint, salt, and spices, and smothered in feta cheese - so you really couldn't taste the lamb itself. I wouldn't order it again.

The onion rings were good again.

I take back my harsh statement about about the beer. There are some decent brews. I always love a Bubblejack IPA and they have that on tap. I guess I just miss Surly when it's not available, and they don't have it, so I got all harsh on Burger Moe's.

Hubby and I ate at Burger Moe's last night. The patio was lovely, the servers attentive and friendly, and there was live music.
The wings we ordered as an appetizer were quite decent. My burger however wasn't very good. I had the Blue Sky Burger - blue cheese and caramelized onions and mushrooms.
The mushrooms were canned, the "caramelized" onions were cold and heavily flavored with Cinnamon, and the blue cheese wasn't very blue - perhaps if they had been more generous with the blue cheese it would have had more flavor but I think it was a poor quality cheese.
We'll go back for the patio and beer selection, but I won't order a burger again.
