B-52 Burgers and Brew

DELISH! What a gem right here in the east metro area. I was craving a burger and this place is legit and hit the spot. Upon arriving at the restaurant, they have tiered seating and huge tv screens. What a great place to watch sports especially Minnesota teams. What a great set up. I love that you don't feel on top of other patrons too. We were seated at a side booth that was super roomy.The service is great! We had Sanyla and she was awesome and on top of things. I ordered the gluten free juicy Lucy. The gfree bun was one of the best buns I've had. It had sesame and poppy seed buns and didn't fall apart. I upgraded to the fries side option which was great. The fries had some good seasoning. I also ordered the banana bread old fashioned...yum!

The first time I had a B52 burger was at the Twin Cities Burger Battle years ago. They had a phenomenal blue cheese burger I couldn't get enough of! So, when we were in the area, I wanted to go to the restaurant to try their Juicy Lucy. We were greeted upon entry, and our order was taken and placed swiftly. While waiting, I wandered around the restaurant and checked things out. The waitresses checked in on me that all was going well. I saw the MOAB Hall of Fame -- that seems a daunting feat eating 2# meat plus whole basket of fries in an hour. Congrats to those up there! There was a table who ordered a Bloody Mary and was a beautiful masterpiece of drink + food in one glass! They so kindly let me photo this! Next time, I'll order this and get everything in one vessel! Okay, so the Juicy Lucy. The burger was great-- thin and had good texture, good bite. The cheese inside was melty and gooey and delicious. My two cents: (1) the meat was not seasoned as much as I had expected (little more s+p please) and (2) like other Juicy Lucy comments, the cheese was not in every bite. Eating the edges was like eating a normal burger. Just comes with the territory of stuffing a burger. Overall great! Loved the burger and the flavor! I have great memories of this place and will definitely come back for more!

Great dive bar with tons of sports on all TVs throughout the bar. Service was friendly and quick. We didn't order food so I can't comment on that. Cool place

When Yacht Rock is on his game (which is always), it's super fun! The food options are limited and as a Bloody Mary connoisseur, I've been disappointed twice. And that's the two times I've tried them. Service has been okay but not great. I have never dined inside the restaurant; only the rooftop. Maybe it's better inside? But who wants to miss Yacht Rock? Cha!

I had high hopes but was quite disappointed. My burger was hard as a rock. The wings were ok but they were supposed to be smoked but none of us tasted a smoke flavor. All 4 of us agreed that we wouldn't come back.

I liked the location (next to the Holiday Inn where I stayed). I came the evening of the Super Bowl, so the positive news was there were loads of TVs ant good selection of beer on tap. The service was great. The only downside was the emcee who talked so much it was hard to hear the dialogue on the commercials : which are a big deal during the Super Bowl. He behaved like it was another game in that regard, so that was the only downside to the experience.

Came in for AYCE Wednesday wing night. The parking lot was packed but the restaurant was only moderately full at 6:30. The hostesses were friendly and attentive. We were promptly seated in the restaurant (not bar) area. Our server was pleasant and kind. She kindly explained how the endless wings work. Each person who decides to do AYCE has to order in increments of 10 wings which can be split into two different flavors, so 5 of each. So for two of us, we got 20 wings and 4 flavors to start with. You can order as many increments of 10 after this as you want. So for the two of us we got one more basket of 10 with two flavors. The b52 is listed as the spiciest and is NOT spicy AT ALL, so don't expect some d-spot style sauce. The b52 was, however, my favorite sauce since it was the most flavorful. The Peruvian jam and peanut sauce was interesting but not very good. Similar mediocre reviews for KC bbq sauce, boom boom, gochujang hot honey, spicy garlic Parmesan. Wings were not saucy at all. Overall, glad I tried it but won't be back. While it's a good deal if you can throw down tons of wings, there are much better wings in town.

We went on a Thursday night, which was Rib Night. $20.99 great price for a full rack of ribs. I didn't like spending the extra $1.00 on my waffle fries. We've been here a couple times before Covid hit. Sundays were for the M.O.A.B, mother of all burgers!That's when it was half price, now it's $10.00 off of $50.00. Still a good place to eat, just hate inflation!

Unfortunately, this was our last visit to B-52 Burgers and Brew. We just don't feel comfortable taking a chance on this place anymore. It was such a great place to eat, that we feel sad that this is no longer the case.After waiting quite a while for service after getting seated. We felt that we should have just left and called it good. Maybe we would have tried to come back another day.To start the meal, we ordered the Classic Buffalo Dip. The best thing about this dis is the tortilla chips. We couldn't taste anything except buffalo sauce. The chicken was shredded so small that it was literally only something you could feel with your mouth, rather than see it. The tortilla chips were nice and crisp without being salty or too weak to use for the dip.He had The Mushroom Gouda and I made the terrible mistake of ordering The Truffle Shuffle. We both asked for "pink" or medium rare burgers. Neither of them arrived that way.For The Mushroom Gouda, there wasn't really any flavor, and the burger was overcooked. The aioli appeared only on sight, not in the taste of the compilation.The Truffle Shuffle was TERRIBLE. There was absolutely no taste to the burger, which was also overcooked. If I ate the components separately, I could taste them. Together, everything went away. I wasn't expecting the pancetta to show up cubed on the burger. I would have thought that slicing it would sufficiently have it serve as the bacon stand-in it is meant to be. I've never seen pancetta cubed before. Even the roasted red peppers showed up by eye only and not in flavor.We also requested Garlic Fries to accompany the burgers. We used to LOVE these fries. They are no longer really garlic fries. There was very little garlic present. You have to pay extra for fries now, which further aggrieved us. We weren't sure about how "seasoned corn chips" go with burgers.The service issues that started the meal remained throughout and it took longer than we'd have liked to finally get our check and get out of there. I really hate to say goodbye to places I have loved. I'd rather that my good memories remained intact, rather than having this situation occur.

I was pleasantly surprised by B-52s and enjoyed my time here! We came by before an event we were going to in Inver Grove, since we don't live nearby. We came in on a Saturday around 4:00 and there was plenty of seating. We opted for the open seating on the bar side and easily got a table for the 5 of us. Our server was super kind and quick, everything was brought out timely and she consistently made sure everything was coming out ok. The menu has a bunch of options for unique burgers and starters, but is definitely smaller in other areas. As someone who's not a huge burger lover, I definitely had options but I was hoping I'd have more. The options that aren't burgers are pretty basic, but not bad! I opted for the Southwest Chicken Salad and really enjoyed it! The vinegrette is citrusy and light which I loved, plus it came with chicken so I didn't have to pay extra for protein.My boyfriend got a burger and we upgraded to waffle fries so we could share. We also ordered the seasoned sour cream, which was delicious but the extra $1.50 for it was kinda steep. The waffle fries were good and crunchy - our friends that got the regular fries didn't like them much though. Definitely opt for the waffle fries!I also ordered a couple of vodka sodas - nothing special but they weren't bad!Overall, not a bad spot, but nothing to go completely out of your way for!
