Our server did not know the soup of the day... This was one of the best burgers I have ever had. The fries were really good too, but the burger was out of this world. I did not use a single condiment on the Paul Molitor (the burger I had), and I usually like to have mayo on my burger.... More

To celebrate our son's birthday I asked him where he would like to eat out, and his choice was The Nook in St. Paul. According to him it had the best (hands down) burgers in the Twin Cities. After tonight's meal, I would concur. We first ordered onion rings which came out piping hot, large, and with a crispy coating-divine.... More

On a recent visit with family in St Paul we headed for dinner one night at the Nook with a group of 6. We had a short but pleasant wait at the bar but were quickly seated, even though it was a Friday night. The waitress was very nice and prompt. Most importantly when the burgers came we were all...

We knew going in to this trip to The Nook that there'd be some wait involved. Not only due to it being 6pm on a Thursday before the Memorial Day long weekend but because a baseball team of 23 were seated just before us... We sat at the bar-a trick we learned to get seated faster. The décor is typical... More

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.
