Dining & Entertainment: Restaurants & Bars

Burger Jones

With a name like Burger Jones, it should be no surprise that this Uptown restaurant specializes in burgers. Whether its one of their house creations or your custom-creation, Burger Jones lets you eat your burger whatever which way you choose. Along with burgers, the restaurant has a large drink menu, complete with milk shakes (spiked or unspiked), and three different types of fries. An outdoor patio facing Lake Street surprised us with its inward-focus and lush potted plants. Burger Jones is one of the more recent restaurant additions for Uptown power-restaurateurs Parasole Restaurants Holdings, which has other staples such as Uptown's Chino Latino and Il Gatto, and Twin Cities' favorites Good Earth, Pittsburgh Blue, Salut, and Manny's.

Burger Jones is located on the east side of Calhoun Village at Lake Street and Market Plaza, just down from Subway and Punch Pizza.

Parking: Off-street free parking is available in Calhoun Village, accessible from the Lake Street and Market Plaza intersection.

Transit: Bus routes 12 and 17 provide regular service in the area.
