Most Disliked
Some guests note that Millside Tavern can get busy on weekends, especially during peak hours like Friday nights, leading to longer wait times. Planning a visit during off-peak hours can help avoid the crowds if you prefer a quieter meal.
The menu, while focused, may not offer extensive options for those looking for lighter fare or vegetarian meals. A few diners expressed a desire for more variety beyond burgers and classic bar food offerings. The location is off the beaten path, making it slightly less convenient for those not familiar with St. Michael, but once discovered, it becomes a favored destination.
A few patrons have mentioned that seating can fill up quickly during rush hours, so arriving early for a prime spot is recommended.

We met here for a family get together. The bar tender/waitress was absolutely awesome. The food was great. We were taking pictures and a lady came out and offered to take a few pictures. Then we had a group hug and 2 gentlemen came out and wondered what was going on. We told him the situation and he said "more families need to do that." He said it brought him to tears.

I absolutely love this place. Amazing burgers, cold beer, ice cream, malts and much more. The employees are all so wonderful and super nice. Fun little arcade/pool table room for the kiddies and adults too! Just a wonderful place all around.

millside tavern is the definition of tucked away as they are hiding off the main road off a small side street. but i can sure tell you that the flavor of their burgers aren’t tucked away! they don’t do much more then burgers as they keep the menu simple, which is just fine with me! a cold beer and juicy burger, all inside a classic tavern…perfect!

This hidden bar and grill the great city of Saint Michael is definitely worth a stop for a great lunch or dinner. The hamburgers from Millside Tavern are absolutely my favorite in the area. Very generously sized beef patties on them with a large amount of burger types from spicy ones, to classics like a california or bacon and cheese. They also have other great foods on their menu like a steak sandwich or chicken tenders (amazing). The amount of fries you get with each is incredible as well and taste delicious. Great happy hour prices for drinks as well. If you are looking for a great meal overlooking the river in Saint Michael, stop here!

I had the pleasure of visiting Millside Tavern, with the utmost confidence i can proudly say it was the best burger to have ever graced my mouth! It was crafted to perfection by their talented chef Ryan. This burger is an absolute must try in my opinion. I had my doubts that it was truly the "Best Burger in Minnesota" but i can leave with no shadow of doubt. What an unforgettable experience
