Bloody Mary Review : Burger Jones


Place: Burger Jones
Location: 3200 West Lake Street, Minneapolis
Day: Sunday, September 11
Time: 1:00 p.m.
Temperature: Around 84 degrees
Indoor/Outdoor: Outdoor Patio


The location of this place is VERY accommodating to it's patrons. Parking can sometimes be a hassle, but only during extremely busy hours. Otherwise, there is a large, shared parking lot space, safely off the busy Lake Street. The inside is exceptionally clean, the workers are fantastically courteous and the outdoor patio a refreshing get-away.

The Bloody Mary at Burger Jones was exceptionally well priced (Happy Hour prices) at just a little over $4.00 which also included a beer chaser in a small glass that very much resembled a Pilsner glass.

Served in a Kerr style canning jar, with a Lime wedge, Mozzarella cheese pieces, an olive, a sliced burger-style pickle and what I took to be a pepperoni style meat stick (not sure what it was exactly), it's presentation was very well set up. While the extras didn't impress me so much – though plentiful as they were – the Bloody Mary itself was FAN-FLIPPIN-TASTIC! Not too watery. Not too thick. Spicy, but not too spicy (although my guest did inquire about having extra horseradish, prior to even tasting, and they happily obliged). I enjoyed this Bloody so much, I ordered a second one.
