Restaurant Description

Samll diner with counter only
seating. Excellent breakfast
spot for fans of thick bacon,
homemade hasbrowns, and huge
(very tasty) pancakes.

Lunch is also available, and is also a bargain.

a diner from Fridley, MN
Think Al's Diner. But there is an extra three
feet behind the stools. The has browns are fried
in butter ( they make their own) with chopped
onions. The pancakes are the best I have eaten
in the Twin Cities, huge and filling. The bacon
is thick, the eggs done to a turn, and the coffee
cup is always kept full. Plus, unlike Al's, they
do have ice for the glass of water.

Smoking is allowed, but if you don't smoke, the
ventilation is very good.

The prices are comparable to other small diner's,
in other words, a bargain.

They also make burgers, sandwhiches, and have
a noon special. Open until 2 o'clock, this is
a great example of the classic diner.

I haven't been to "Sturb's" in decades, so can't speak to what it is like now. Used to love the free popcorn, ambience, and friendly staff.

I have to agree with some of the reviews posted. The Juicy Lucy was pretty good, but the service was very poor. The servers were not friendly at all and well try waiting 2.5 hours for a burger and fries with 7 kids. This time frame was not waiting ...
