City PagesAugust 5, 2014With a menu driven by Jucy Lucys and all manner of fried goods (green beans, cheese curds, Spam bites, etc.), the Blue Door Pub is low on pretense but high on creativity and passion. Read more
EaterApril 23, 2013It's a controversial choice for Juicy Lucys (not Matt's or the 5-8?), but the Blue Door Pub has got a damn good Blucy. Whatever they've got as the special blucy is always worth a try.
Monika McMahonMay 17, 2015Fantastic happy hour with beer, cider, & appetizers (including tater tots). The burgers are delicious and are stuffed with delicious options. Always our first stop when we land in Minneapolis.
B. B. GunMay 25, 2014I have had every "great burger" in the twin cities and Blue Door is without question the best. You honestly can't go wrong, but the king of them all is the Jiffy Burger. So. Damn. Good.- City PagesJune 15, 2015Best pub around! One of the most creative menus around, and it's all made from scratch! Here you'll find the sacred Juicy Lucy, one of Minnesota's best accomplishments. Read more
Jeffrey ColquetteMay 6, 2013Try the Thai inspired burger with the curry dipping sauce. It is tasty and unique. I love the fries! Definitely don't come with a large group. Keep it to a couple or no more than 4!
My favorite burger here is the Frenchy (French dip juicy Lucy). Love the fries, green bean fries, and cheese curds. They have the best chicken noodle soul EVER!
Tina FloerschAugust 20, 2012The Luau Burger is so amazing! There is a sweet chili sauce that they put on it that is amazing. That, plus the pineapple pieces makes it so delicious.
- City PagesJanuary 25, 2013Voted top ten chicken wings! The Frogtown Wings, named for the nearby neighborhood, are ultra crispy chicken wings liberally seasoned and tossed with a chunky, spicy peanut butter sauce.
- City PagesAugust 26, 2013Give in to the need for juicy beef surrounding a gooey, cheesy interior and topped with crunchy, salty, spicy, lily-gilding goodness. Give in to the Baked 'n' Loaded Juicy Blucy.
Cole KennedyFebruary 23, 2017Potentially my favorite pub in Minnesota. Their burgers, though not traditional, are flipping unreal. The beer list makes me happy too.
Sean DonovanSeptember 2, 2016Their "Jiffy" rules the land. The fried chicken caesar was good as well. The onion rings were ok, not as crispy to my liking. The tots yum!
Zach PhilbrickMay 29, 2013Great! Choose the tots over the fries. Ask your server about getting the tots tossed in sauce... they have several to choose from for no extra $.
Matt FlemingJune 7, 2011Great Happy Hour. Breakfast Burger is a stand-by if the B.O.M. doesn't sound good. Be ready to wait, this is the best burger joint in Saint Paul and lots of people know about it. Read more
Britanny GerdinMarch 22, 2014If you don't want to wait half an hour head down the street to neighborhood cafe. Never a wait and the food is just as good. Service is above and beyond!
Brian MarshJune 30, 2013Fried green beans and cheese curds with any of their Blucies! Can't go wrong! Plus $2 happy hour drafts of great beers.
Alex MayDecember 12, 2016My favorite is the Merriam Park Blucy and Latin Kisses. Also they secretly have the best wings ever!
Get your tots Cajun style. If tots aren't your thing opt for the beer battered green beans - also Cajun style.
Alicia WaitkusJanuary 7, 2013wonderful food, near to amazing mn state fair like cheese curds, if you arent a fan of pink burgers make sure to speak up!
Charles EdgeJanuary 19, 2012Blucy, breakfast blucy, tots, curds, lumberjack blucy, horsekick blucy, good beers, what more can you ask for. Usually busy (as well it should be).
Good burgers and usually great beer selection. Can get crowded, but I feel it's worth the wait.
C. SajaJuly 5, 2013The special burger The Guapo was fantastic. Get it with tots and cheese curds to start. Friendly service as well!- City PagesFebruary 24, 2011Voted as Best Neighborhood Bar In St. Paul by City Pages in 2010. The happy hours go late, the crowds are pleasant, and the Cajun fries are plain delicious.
Angela LeeDecember 6, 2013Careful with that first bite so cheese doesn't explode all over your phone! Also try the buffalo tots secret menu item
Danielle L.November 18, 2015Never thought peanut butter would taste good on a burger? Think again and try the jiffy burger.
- Alex MayDecember 9, 2016My favorite place for burgers in the cities. So many great options and a great atmosphere.
Kevin BroderickMay 1, 2016Breakfast Blucy, cheese curds, and this taco Blucy that was new ( excellent). Jessica was a perfect waitress.
Austin WestermannJanuary 19, 2015There is hardly any seating but let me tell you, it is worth the wait! Park in the back
Nick ArcherJune 10, 2012The "Classic" is a good way to go if you like to keep it simple, beef & molten cheese, the way God/Buddha/Allah intended it.
Sticky Wings with Sriracha Aioli are HANDS DOWN the greatest meal in the Twin Cities right now. Buffalo Wild What?
Shelley HarringtonAugust 5, 2010One of my favorite burger joints. My favorite as of late is the frenchy. Its like french onion soup in a burger. Fantastic!! Also, cajun tater tots are the bomb!!
Jeremy BydlonNovember 22, 2015We had the Luau Blusy and it was phenomenal. Cute, small, great place.
Mpls.St.Paul MagazineMarch 11, 2011Try the Jiffy Burger. This burger with peanut butter, mayo, pepper jack cheese, bacon, and pickles will crack your mind open.—Mpls.St.Paul Magazine, February 2011
The Merriam Park is delicious. You wouldn't think that red currant jam would work so well on a burger, but it does NOT disappoint!
Travel ChannelJanuary 23, 2012Andrew Zimmern made a stop here, where they’ve taken the classic, local Juicy Lucy hamburger in a new direction.
Mari DoyalAugust 1, 2013Fried green beans, don't ask questions, just order them. (Bleu cheese salad is also excellent)
Javen SwansonSeptember 11, 2017Did you know you can get the tots in any of the wings sauce flavors? It's true, you can! So good!
Extra spaces open up in the parking lot when the adjacent hardware store closes at 7pm, but pull out of the lot slowly or you'll scrape your front bumper!
Kristine DuhamelApril 14, 2010Any burger you get will be fantastic but make sure to finish up your meal with the cake bites, but they are soooo hot inside be careful not to burn your mouth!!
Spam bites, 2 dollar HH pints, and the blucy of the month. Can't go wrong.
Heavy TableFebruary 12, 2010Try the Lumberjack Blucy: a Jucy Lucy with smoked Gouda, thick-cut bacon, and cayenne pepper. It's finished off with a maple syrup glaze on the outside and served naked on a bun. Read more
Hard to beat beer specials. 2 bucks a pint early happy hour and only 3 bucks for late night. Can't beat it with a stick!
Mairin GoetzingerMay 26, 2014Be prepared to wait for a table. Also be prepared to see God (it's that good).
Cajun tots. Cajun tots cajun tots cajun tots. I can NOT stress this enough. Also, the wings are surprisingly good
LucasDecember 11, 2011Someone needs to manage these tables better. Don't seat a three person group in a six person booth when you've got a three top opening up an a party of six waiting.
