Newt’s North

Great burgers, although it seems they used to be better. I miss the mozzarella sticks. Cheese curds are our favorite in town, but they need to work on the onion rings. Overall good, but they were amazing.

I enjoyed the food and would return! The menu had a good variety. I like trying new and different things, so this place works for me.

I was recommended this place for burgers and the burgers are good and the service is decent.
The burgers are tasty but not exactly wow factor. A bit on the sloppy side but if you’re hungry it hits the spot.
I have to keep reminding that I want a well done burger otherwise they do almost a kind of medium rare type of burger which is not my cup of tea.
My experience has been pretty good.
Only thing I think the burgers are too expensive for what you get. Otherwise I’d give more stars.

To much $ for a burger I would rather go to Wild Bills good burger cheep price

Their service is good and we have never had a bad time but the food seems to not be as good as the downtown location for some reason.

I love their burgers, huge and juicy. Fun place for dinner or happy hours. Good menu lots of fried stuff however. Another favorite is the nachos.

Was recommended to this restaurant.. enjoyable atmosphere!!! Was greeted w excellent service and the entire time my friend and I were here the waitress was very helpful and never let r drinks get empty! Food was excellent and cooked to the T!!! The price wasn’t bad at all and we will definitely return here next time we r in Rochester!

Always great food, I have had many things on their menu and never have been disappointed. They also have an awesome breakfast!

Unilocal directions are wrong. Had us down a dark road at the end of nowhere. Food is good though once you find it!

Each summer I visit the Rochester area, and I make sure to stop at Newt’s — they have excellent burgers and beers. Also a ‘famous’ Bloody Mary that has pickles, hard boiled egg, and a cheeseburger slider as part of the presentation. Prices are very reasonable, décor is fun, lots of TVs, great atmosphere. Happy hour from 3 – 6 AND 9-​close with drink specials. The Marvin Burger is my personal favorite menu item. Fries are pretty good too.

My wife’s entire family is from the Rochester area so we make the trip once or twice a year. During our last trip, we couldn’t make a decision and her grandpa was craving onion rings and beer so off to Newt’s we went.
We started with, what else? Onion rings and beer. The onion rings, despite their size, are a little on the pricey size, but didn’t disappoint. Rarely able to get delicious Midwest beer, I opted for a Surly Furious. They have a pretty solid craft beer offering with Surly, Summit, Odell, Lagunitas, Oskar Blues and a few other standouts.
First, let me preface that I had *just* had a burger the day before *and* I have the fortunate pleasure of living in a massive city that features some of the best burgers around. Period.
For whatever reason, despite being known for their burgers, one didn’t sound good to me.
So I ordered the Reuben, even though my waitress kindly pointed me elsewhere (chicken strips or fish tacos she said) since I wasn’t feeling like a burger. The Reuben was okay, but nothing to write home about. Meanwhile, I watched my wife dominate Dave’s burger much to my taste bud’s regret.
Needless to say, I’m looking forward to coming back when I’m craving a burger and taking the Juicy Lucy, Marvin’s Burger or Dave’s Burger out for a spin.
[OVERALL]: Good service (despite the fact that she had a lot of spread out tables), delicious onion rings and burgers, and reasonably priced craft beer. Pass on Reuben despite it being «Newt’s Favorite.» Oh, and last of all, we went early (4:45pm-ish) and it was crowded and parking wasn’t (yet) a mess, but I could see how that lot could be tricky to navigate during peak times.

Someone at baseball game said Newts was good. Stopped here with à friend after baseball and shopping. A ⁴⁄₅ star as it took 10 minutes for server to take our order. Burgers are their specialty and are ½ # burgers. I ordered à Juicy Lucy with Fries Abd a beer. The burger was huge and server stated to stab it with à knife. I ate Fries first so I didnt burn my mouth with melted cheese. I ate half of it and brought back to hotel. This is whats weird, the juicy Lucy tasted better microwaved the next morning. Is it the spaghetti or lasagne phenomenon? Maybe the flavor of the cheese and beef sealed better or I was hung over but it was better the 2^nd day. The lucy was $ 9.99 but huge. The Décor was dated beer bottle wall paper borders and weird lamps make up their logo. Will return if in area again.

Seriously the best burger place in Rochester, MN. Marvin’s burger is one to try if you are new to this establishment.
Parking is a hot mess so arrive early or plan a late dinner. There is parking on the North side of the building and stairs to get to the front entrance.

We don’t find ourselves here nearly as much as we used to, and I don’t find myself liking it as much as I used to either. Overall its a decent place to grab a burger and a beer, and if you’re up early enough the breakfast is a MUST TRY!
The good:
1. The burgers are some of the best in town, but don’t compare them to the amazing burger joints in the big cities
2. Their breakfast is awesome! I wish i was more of a morning person so I could make it in time more often.
3. The ultimate bloody mary is a meal in itself (both in food quantity and price)
The bad:
1. The parking lot SUCKS! its seriously a nightmare…
2. The service can also suck — depending on who you get
3. They got rid of their AMAZING mozzarella sticks — our waiter last time said tons of people have been complaining so hopefully they’ll bring them back? PLEASE!!!
4. The tartar sauce for the fish is so bland, it almost tastes like straight Mayo…

O M G! This place was fabulous! They have some of the best burgers you will ever have, and there is a large menu of burgers to pick from. They are so yummy and I guarantee that you will love it. The Northern location is a bit small so I would recommend a reservation if you can, otherwise there may be a long wait. The Downtown location is also very busy and they are opening another location soon, which I am sure will be just as good. Because of the large crowd this restaurant attracts, the service is a little slow, but it is definitely worth every minute of your time.

Great burgers spectacular nachos (share with a friend). Plenty of beers on tap. The service is the best in town.

I ordered the hickory bacon burger and was very pleased and impressed. Very good burger and a decent selection of beer. The atmosphere is very chill and relaxed, I will definitely be coming here more often and I am looking forward to trying their other burgers! This place is now one of my favorite burger joints in Southern Minnesota!

I’ve been to Newt ‘s a few times and each time I leave feeling like «why did I go here again?». The chicken strips are good, the fish sandwich is blah, I’ve heard the burgers are good, the fries are decent, and the bloody mary’s are really good… if I go again I’m going to drink my dinner.

This was the first place my boyfriend & I stopped at after getting off the plane for his cousin’s wedding. She had recommended it for all the traveling guests & we were pleased!
Our server was super friendly & brought us a bowl of popcorn while we looked over the menu. They have awesome daily drink specials & that day happened to be $ 2 miller lites. The burger list is unique & super hard to choose from. My boyfriend went with the Marvin Burger & loved it. I went with the Smoky Ranch Burger & we both opted for the side salad with their «famous» blue cheese dressing. Everything was just fantastic. The buns, meat, & toppings were fresh & plentiful.
We brought his brother & his girlfriend to the one downtown the next night, but this one was the better location/​food (even though it’s the same menu) than the downtown location.

Went to this location for breakfast on a Saturday Morning. The pancakes were good and I asked for bacon crispy which came out good. Got a sandwich with grilled cheese sausage, egg, and bacon it was good but I took the bacon off because it was not cooked to a crisp and I removed the sausage and ate it separately because it took over the flavor of the egg and cheese… The tator tots that came with this sandwich were phenomenal and they were served alongside a little dish of melted cheese sauce… I scarfed that right up… yummmm
They did not offer any hot tea and i’m sorry if you going to do breakfast you need tea and not just coffee…
The prices are a little on the higher side for breakfast and they didn’t appear to offer any basic less expensive specials…
Our server was nice and young and would have made a bigger impression on us if he had the confidence to just strike up a little more banter and conversation.
