Sunshine Factory Bar & Grill - Plymouth, MN - Bacon Cheeseburger

I had been to the old Sunshine Factory many times for their happy hour but never had their burger until now.  I understand why no one ever recommended nor talked me into trying these burgers.  First thing I noticed was that the cheese was not fully melted (I don't know if you can see it in the photo).  Yes, this may be very nit picky but it was very noticeable.  Next thing I saw was a huge bun.  I am a fan of thick burger buns as they usually take away from the taste of the burger but I thought I would give it a try (I have been proven wrong before).  This bun was thick and not the softest thing ever.  It also had a lot of garlic on the bun itself... I was not a fan.  The bacon was the best part of this burger, that was done nicely.  The fries were also great and the workers were very nice and welcoming.  I went during lunch when it was slow so I cannot say what they would be like if it was very busy.

Bugaboo Bay - Alexandria, MN - Butcher Block Burger

This burger was terrible.  Other people at the table had regular burgers and agreed that the burger itself was horrible.  You could tell these were frozen burgers that seemed to be microwaved to be cooked.  One of the other people said it perfectly when he said it tasted like a bad salisbury steak frozen dinner.  The bacon was actually quite tasty and due to that, each bite taken with bacon was adequate.  The pulled pork/chipotle beef combo on top was good but again the burger was terrible.  On top of that, we waited about 20 minutes before the waiting staff even acknowledged us being there and then it took probably another 20 minutes to get drinks.  The only nice thing I have to say is that is was a beautiful day to sit outside and volleyball was fun to watch.  I do not recommend ever going here.

Snuffy's Malt Shop - Minnetonka, MN - Double Bacon Cheeseburger

So this was my second time to try Snuffys.  This time it was for a rehearsal dinner for Stevie and Brittany.  I decided this time I would go for a double.  It was definitely a good idea.  Although this time I did not add anything more than cheese and bacon (last time I had Mushroom Swiss and the Chili), you could taste the burger easily in this combination.  The burgers were just the right amount of juicy, the bacon was cooked well, and the cheese was melted.  Couldn't really ask for much more.  I am not 100% if it was the ordering a double, the different kind of burger, or the location but this time around was much better if you ask me.

Price: $7.75 (burger alone)

Big Louie's Bar & Grill - Crystal, MN - The Big Louie Burger

So I got a Groupon to go here.  Definitely worth that purchase.  I asked the bartender which burger was the best on the menu, she told me to order this.  It is a bacon cheeseburger with a fried egg on top.  It was cooked to order, I ordered Med but it came out a bit more Med-Rare then Med (which I am ok with because I like my burger either way).  This was a good burger if you are in the area but not something so uniquely delicious that you couldn't get it anywhere else.
