Maple Tavern - Maple Grove, MN - Signature Burger

The Maple Tavern is not a place that I hear many people talking about when it comes to their food.  Well it should be, at least when talking about burgers.  I have previously posted about the Half & Half Burger which is a blend of beef and bacon.  That was a great burger but I was not feeling the like clogging my arteries quite that much this night.  So I went with this gem instead.  The beef was juicy but not undercooked by any means.  The burger to bun ratio was spot on (which you all know how much I hate too much bun).  I definitely would recommend trying any of the burgers from this joint.  If you are in the north-west suburbans and need a good burger, I would go here.

Surly Beer Hall - Minneapolis, MN - Surly Burger

This was clearly not a burger made at a place known for their burgers nor was it anything special.  The burgers were very thin with little flavor to them.  The cheese and sauce made the burger pretty good but the bun made it go back a bit.  The thin meat with a large bun made this burger something I would never order again.  I would suggest going for something else if you are eating here.  The beer hall itself is great though and a fun place to go and hang out with friends.  They even have "Where's Waldo" books that can add to the fun (if used correctly of course).
