ALTBuRGEr

So this was a very random find. We were in the area and were going to go to Stanleys.. but we walked in there and saw the waitress taking cold, stale looking chips out of a big bag and slapping them on a plate.. we got shown to our seat outside and there were a lot kids running around and.. we were like.. yea not our vibe.. and as were driving here we had seen Alt Burger and I had googled it and it looked good, so we decided to go here... so glad we did. We walk in and it is empty.. maybe 3 or 4 people there.. ok fine.. no big deal. The bartender was sweet and helpful, we ordered up at the front (I don't mind that at all). We ended up getting the burger and the steak sandwich as well as some bloody marys.. omg. The burger was classic.. and AMAZING. Minneapolis has a lot of great burgers but I have to put this one up there.. it was perfectly cooked, had a little crust on the patty, the bun was awesome and the toppings were perfection.. not too overdone and you were actually able to taste the burger. The steak sandwich.. uhh.. give me like 4 more of those any time anywhere. The steak was quality, cooked perfectly, and again, the toppings were great. We were able to chose one of the bakery items as the bun for the steak sandwich and that was perfect. Definitely will be back here for another sunday funday experience. I want to try all of the food!

We keep coming here and we keep bringing people so I'm giving it a five! They seem to experiment a lot with daily specials and they do rotate items on their menu. I love places that do this because I want to experience the dishes they're excited to cook! I was initially not going to write a review to keep this spot to ourselves, but I want them to make it and stay! When an item is good, it's REALLY good! Some of those items for us are the giant cookies, the Whiz Boomer (not on current menu), the BBQ, and the Mac n Cheese! They also do daily specials like fish & mussels.Nice small shady patio seating out on the sidewalk. Dog friendly patio (they have treats & blankets). Dark cool inviting interior. Rustic warm bar. Order at the register from a menu, they find you and bring the food to the table. Beer, wine & liquor. Very friendly service & owners! Street parking or very small shared lot. The vibe is always nice & chill because it's never packed!

Although the vegan burgers seem a bit greasy, they do taste delicious. I think this could be a cheat meal for the vegetarians/vegans. The ranch fries are a highlight. Skinny fries with herb in French style, definitely something not to miss on a cheat day. There are both indoor and outdoor seating. Enjoyed the quietness and pleasure. We

You simply cannot emphasize how much of a neighborhood spot this place is, based on how economical the options are, how much the recipes were created in house, how ordinary the set up was (in a very positive way), and how tasty the burgers were. It is the ideal place to grab a bite at the most random time of the day walking on 13th Ave NE for whatever reason. This is the place to be if you want cheap and tasty food while not wanting to consume meat.I have been here twice and have tried various options and the burgers all hit in different ways. To make the altburger so tasty while replacing meat with, I don't even know, probably beans and quinoa, is not easy, and it was wonderfully done. For those that have pickier taste buds, I would recommend the F.O. Altburger because it contained gruyeye and caramelized onion, and those two really made a difference in elevating the flavor. The Fauxlet O' Fish tasted just like what I would expect from a vegetarian fish burger, which, one again, was a very good thing! I also want to point out how much pierogi I was given for $13 and it filled me up really fast! Good portions!Honestly that's it! I don't have much to say other than please give this place a shot! If you are a meat lover this may not be the place for you, but for me this is exactly what I need and I love it.

My family had the great opportunity to enjoy brunch for 6 at Altburger through a generous donation they had made to Ruff Start Rescue. Our meal started off with our option of a generous drink. My boyfriend and I got the Bloody Mary. The Bloody Mary was very delicious with a nice kick. The picked onion and green bean were super yummy. This was a very good start to our meal. The next course served was four delicious pastries . The cinnamon roll was one of best cinnamon rolls we have ever had. I also enjoyed the strawberry rhubarb pastry and a little bit of the donut cinnamon muffin. All super good. My brother enjoyed the coffee cake. These pastries are options to just grab and go if we want to come back for quick pastry. The brunch selection was super good as well. My favorite was the fries , gravy and chicken. My parents really liked the omelet and asked for an additional one. The chef was super kind and made us a scallion pancake on top of everything else. I can't believe it is not on the official menu, they add it. I'm going to stop gushing over the food and just say that the atmosphere was super nice and fun. The owner and chef are two of most personable and nice people I have ever met. This feels like a nice small restaurant where they are very down to earth. Love it. We will be coming back for lunch or dinner sometime in the future. I can't wait to try their burgers and other options. They are super nice and they are dog friendly!!! My puppy will be joining next time.

What an interesting new addition to Minneapolis culinary scene. We did brunch and we are excited to try the regular menu. I love how they incorporate wild mushrooms into their dishes. We will be back.

I got the F.O alter burger and really enjoyed it but the best part was the Brussel sprouts! They were full of flavor and truly wonderful!

I had the falafel sandwich. Delicious! Nice staff. It's also in a great location. Parking is easy.

This restaurant never fails. I travel from a few towns away just to have their amazing, creative and chef-driven food. I have been for brunch and had a house-made Bloody Mary, House-made Bialy sandwich and we shared a huge slice of coffee cake. The dinner menu has so many options and the chef offers some great specials with local ingredients. This place is waaay beyond burgers, but I tried their plant based burger and is one of the best I have ever had. The vibe reminds me of the little restaurants you might find in New York. The service is another bonus... friendly, super accommodating, and attentive. Definitely add to your list and put it on a regular rotation like me.

Stopped in after seeing a play at the Theatre Latte Fa next door for a drink and a bite. The owner/hostess was putting away the patio but gave us great service., recommending items and even taking out order from the booth instead of having order at the counter, which is the standard. Great fries - thin and sprinkled with herbs. Small but food drink menu. She even checked with us before the kitchen closed. Tip is included in the price. Great little place- quiet enough to talk.
