Their Juicy Lucy (cheese inside the burger) was named the best in the Twin Cities by Bon Appetit. Technically, the Nook was named the best, but Shamrock's has the same owner, same beef, same everything!

It's kind of a secret restaurant (very little signage) and it's right around the corner. It's warm and welcoming inside. Their meat sauces are extraordinary. Mucci's also does donuts on Saturday mornings.
