Patch Picks: Best Burgers in St. Louis Park

Summer is a perfect time for firing up the grill and throwing on a few burgers. But sometimes, you want someone to do the cooking for you. On that note, here are the five best burger spots in St. Louis Park:

: Known, of course, for its heavy intergalactic motif, Galaxy also features homemade burgers that have gotten solid reviews in the Twin Cities.

: When you're not bowling or catching a game, be sure to grab one of the Park Tavern's tasty and unique burgers. And when we say unique, we mean unique—the Guinness burger, which features a patty soaked in beer and served between two potato pancakes, is just one example.

: This West End eatery offers mini burgers and a house burger six nights a week, but Monday stands out as "burger night." A special menu features an array of burgers, including the jambalaya burger and the PB & J burger. Yes, that last one has peanut butter and jelly on it.

: This place has been serving St. Louis Park since 1933, so surely they must be doing something right. Bunny's allows you to build your own burger. Or, try their special "Rack Attack," which is loaded with cheese, bacon, mushrooms and BBQ sauce.

: If you're looking for a more traditional burger, try the first four places on this list. If you're looking for something a bit different, go with Mill Valley. They feature three types of burger—Minnesota bison, grass-fed beef and wild mushroom vegetarian. Your burger of choice is then topped with sweet onion, lettuce and pickle, and served on a whole wheat bun.
