Sparetime Tavern

This was my first time coming here and my cousins told me this place was just remodeled. It looked clean and fancy! There was more seating than it looked from the front. I was told that they only had burgers and that I wouldn't be able to find something here (since I don't eat beef/ pork)... I DID! They had a chicken or a fish sandwich. I had the chicken sandwich. Prices are reasonable and I was told they now make their buns from scratch!! They tasted fresh! Was it my favorite grilled chicken sandwich ever? No, but I was so happy they had one! I love love love the pickles on the counters and tables for you to add to your burgers. I am a pickle lover and yes, I added pickles to my chicken sandwich! Also, Get onion rings!!! I am still fantasizing about them! So crispy and seasoned to perfection. Drooling right now. Overall, they are a well oiled machine. We were in there after a funeral and only 2 people working. We were able to get served and one cooked everything. My family is large and we packed the place. They did amazing! Thanks again for the chicken sandwich, the pickles and the amazing onion rings!!! Oh yes... and 1919 rootbeer on tap! Win! You can also get a Heggie's, but with their burgers... get one or two of those instead!

If you are looking for a local, "dive" type bar with cold beer and a pretty tasty, cheap burger, Sparetime is a pretty safe bet. I specifically made a visit after reading some reviews on their burger. This simple bar burger comes on a nice soft bun and topped with melty cheese. The bar top and tables throughout all have bins of pickles to add, which is think is awesome. The burger was decent but for the ridiculously cheap price it was excellent. The crinkle fries were perfectly fried. This burger would be a show stopper if they didn't use a frozen patty. It is a small town, local bar and they are keeping cost down and I appreciate that. I don't know if it makes sense to charge a buck or two more and use fresh ground??? I really enjoyed the space and the feel of the bar. The staff were friendly considering I was an out of towner.

Wow! Check this spot out! The Spare Burger is one of the best in Minnesota. Quick service, buns made fresh on site, thick cut bacon and lots of cheese! You won't be disappointed.

Great prices on burgers fries and Busch lights! Great good quick burgers, homemade buns are delicious.

Probably my favorite burger in the area. Not a fancy burger. Just a simple dive bar burger with grilled onions and pickles, but it's done just right and it's delicious. Add some onion rings and order a pint while you wait and you'll be a happy camper.

Crazy cool bar/tavern, the burgers are amazing! If you live with 30 miles it's worth the drive twice! I had a local take me here for a burger while out riding, I can't believe this place isn't more well known. I was told everything is good there but I only had the namesake burger with fried onions and I'm sorry I live 2,000 miles away or i'd go back every Sunday.

The burgers with fried onions and order of fried onions hit the spot. On tap Castle Danger was a great beer. Loved the atmosphere and watching the game with these folks. I'd drive from home base to here again.

Very tasty burgers and onion rings. My kids loved them! Nice selection of beers on tap and bottles. 1919 root beer also on tap. No frills, not even a plate. A hidden gem to which I will definitely return!

AWESOME burgers and everything reasonably priced. Went during lunch and the ladies behind the bar were great! Very relaxing and homey feeling atmosphere. We had a great experience!

Our server deserves sainthood for her lovely, patient treatment of our large, unruly group. Burgers were great- reasonably priced and yummy. A fun return to a tavern from yesteryear.
