American Burger Bar

Probably the best burgers in the area. Great selection and choices for building your own burger. Place is large, clean, staff is friendly.

Food was good. Not hard to make a mushroom burger though. Bad part (the reason i downloaded Unilocal during the wait) was the 1 hour wait for our food. There was no explanation. The restaurant was far from busy. When the «food» was ready only 2 of the 3 got food right away. Then the third was brought out a little later.

We waited 35 minutes for 2 burgers on a non-​busy night. One burger was great, one was cold. We asked for the manager and a Supervisor came to talk with us about it but was very defensive stating the kitchen was backed up because of 2 large groups. I didn’t see any large groups but she pointed to a table of 7 and a table of 8. Not huge groups in my experience and I own a restaurant. This is what restaurants do. They eventually comped the cold burger but not graciously. Won’t return.

We visited American Burger as a family for a birthday dinner. We waited over 30 To 40 minutes for our food, on a non busy evening. When our food arrived four out of five did not get what we ordered. The waitress then disappeared and attempted to get things right, in which she never did. While the food was good, the prices were too high and service poor, needless to say we will not be back.

The food was very good, although it took about an hour to come out. The wait staff was inconvenienced by us being there. It took forever to get and keep our waitresses attention, she kept walking away while I was trying to talk to her. Also it was about 90 degrees inside which made for and uncomfortable visit.

Great food! Really was superb. However, I had to wait over an hour for my food! Also, recommend the ranch sauce. Very good. Hopefully next time they shorten the serving time and then they would earn a 5 star response.

I had stopped in for a burger (shocker) although they do have other things on the menu. I was familiar with the process as I’ve visited the Minneapolis location before. This particular places service was, a lot slower than I was accustomed to which was disappointing and something I’ve heard from other people would’ve gone there in the past. There was no apparent reason as to why the service was so slow as not many people were in the restaurant to begin with.
I happened to build my own burger which was absolutely phenomenal it’s a shame the service was so bad.

Went here tonight for the first time and I was not impressed. The food was horrible and the service was so so. There were 4 of us in the party, wr all had different meals and non of us enjoyed what we had.

The staff and the food are amazing! very clean and easy to get to. love the fact that they have a new burger of the month like to taste many new things.

To be honest, we’ve had some really good food and service here, and some food and service that weren’t so great. Here’s what we’ve liked:
I’ve enjoyed the Angus burgers (though a bit higher priced), the fish and chips, and the adult shakes (very tasty). Both my wife and I like their unique skinny fries. Their chicken strips are hand-​breaded, if you’re into that.
My wife had a bad experience with the Kobe beef and we would never order it again… ever! I also tried a spicy pasta dish that was just too spicy to enjoy. That was a disappointment.
While our service has generally been good, there was one time when we had to wait longer than normal for our food. The restaurant wasn’t that busy, and we wondered what the hold up was. There wasn’t an explanation.
Depending upon how busy the restaurant is, it can get loud. If you use a coupon, such as those available through
this restaurant can be a good value for your money.

Ate here twice now and it is exceptional. It’s sad that the place will probably close soon because of poor location. The service was fast since even on the busier day there were only three other couples there so may have had to do with that. Burgers are awesome but the whiskey sauce is VERY whiskey tasting which wasn’t bad, just didn’t suit the burger. Friday has a great all you can eat fish and fries lunch. Pretty damn good I say.

This place is amazing. On the downside we had quite the wait to be seated so we sat in the bar and had a couple of drinks. I think our total wait time was about an hour and a half however once we tasted the Kobe beef it was worth the wait. We plan to go back as soon as we can

I loved this burger place! I got a chocolate shake, very good, the junior angus (as I don’t usual eat much at once) with the parmesan truffle fries, amazing! My fiancé loved what he got as well, a whole pound of beef burger. Not to mention our waitress was on point, very prompt and kind. I genuinely have nothing negative to say about this restaurant. If you have not tried this place you are missing out!

My wife and I and our son had dinner here recently. We were ‘greeted’ by a desultory waitress who wasn’t sure if she wanted us there or not, so it seemed. The place was noisy with kids, who ran around throwing a rubber ball at their dad. We wanted a quiet place, which this place, even mostly empty at 6:00 PM, was not. We all ordered the special, which was two chicken tender sliders and fries, for 8.99. The fries were average frozen type, nothing special, and the chicken was more of a chicken chunk: pathetic. We were able to order a reorder of the chicken sliders, which we did only to gain some value for $ 8.99. There was no cole slaw with the meal, so that was ordered extra. A small dish of it was $ 1.50 after waitress originally quoted $ 2.50. Service was slow. If this place is still in business in a month, based on what we experienced, we would not care, because when we think of dining, we typically hope for quality food and value, at least up to any reasonable home cooking standards. This place and its food, is entirely forgettable. There is better food and value elsewhere. Lesson learned.

We randomly stopped here for a family dinner because we were in the area. Boy, I’m glad we did!
The service was excellent, and the staff was very warm and friendly.
Our group of 5 went with different versions of the build-​your-​own angus burger and the orders came back perfect!
This is definitely a place I would go back to if I were to find myself in be area again.

I expected this place to be a lot better than it was… We ordered the habanero wings to start and we both tried them at the same time and waited and waited and waited for the spice… Very bland and not spicy at all. I’m hoping they just screwed up our order, if not they need to change something!

I made my own burger with ghost pepper cheese and it was delicious! Wasn’t too spicy. I also ordered Mac & Cheese for my 10 month old son and he loved it.

Very good hamburgers. They have the special of the months. This month it was a spicy burger with jalapeño mixed with the beef. Really good. If you like hot food you definitely want to try it!

Very nice atmosphere. Very good burgers. But everytime I go, the waiters seem to forget about me and I run out of pop! But thats a little thing. Foods good. Atmosphere is terrific. Definitly refer to a friend

A very nice atmosphere and large space far different than what you would expect when you picture a «burger bar.» The menu has typical fair with a few creative burgers to choose from as well as a build your own option, dinner plates, and salads. It would be nice to see some more non-​meat appetizers as I can’t imagine someone would want to order up three sliders or meat tacos before a giant burger entrée. Overall I have never been disappointed with anything that I have ordered, most of the specials and creative menu options sound delicious but only translate to a 3 or 4 out of 5 stars at best. I hope that this restaurant can make it but fear that the slightly higher than average prices may be too much for the area and diners not quite ready for a gourmet burger experience.
TIP: They have some great happy hour specials and a nice outdoor patio.
