Lions Tap burgers are bloody delicious
I’ve lived in Eden Prairie two years now but had never eaten at Lions Tap until tonight.
From their Web site:
Lions Tap has been rated as having one of the best hamburgers in the Twin Cities area by almost all surveys around. In 1995 we were recognized as one of the best 500 restaurants in the entire nation. The good news is that it’s right here in Eden Prairie.
Fresh ground beef individually pattied daily, and our own “secret” seasoning are two of the reasons for the hamburgers famous reputation. The buns are also given special care; heated and slightly toasted on the grill. Simple. Hearty. Juicy. Napkins are plentiful, and necessary.
What the site doesn’t say is when ordering your burger, your waitress will ask you if you want it the “normal way - medium.” And if you say yes, your burger will come dripping blood down the bottom bum, all over the paper plate and leave blood drops onto the table and possibly your shirt with each bite.
Don’t get me wrong - the double cheeseburger I ordered was delicious. Just the right size, fresh bun and salty meat (thanks to the “Famous Lions Tap Seasoning”). Tap beers are served in munchin glasses and the place has plenty of charm.
I’ll be back, but I think next time I’ll ask for medium well.

Medium RARE! Bloody is the way a burger is supposed to be (of course this is only my opinion). But Lion’s Tap is a great burger, probably the best in the area for the price, too bad it’s in the middle of freaking nowhere for us city dwellers. And I have to say the other downside is that the beer is a bit expensive. $11 just for a pitcher of Bud? That’s blasphemy for that type of tavern.
I like ‘em pink in the middle, and lord knows I like to sop stuff up with a biscuit, but a bloody burger bun doesn’t sound so appealing.
The burgers there are fabulous (I like mine well done) and if you can’t find a coupon for at least a buck off your order, you might be blind.
