Annie’s Parlour, a beloved burger joint and malt shop in Minneapolis, Minnesota, has finally reopened. This Dinkytown institution, near the University of Minnesota, was a campus fixture for years before it closed in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Almost four years later, after many delays and the death of the patriarch of the Rimarcik family, who own Annie’s along with several other iconic Minneapolis eateries, Annie’s Parlour is finally back, and I, for one, couldn’t be happier.

When I was a student at the University of Minnesota's Minneapolis campus, I spent a lot of hours at Annie's Parlour.

As a Dinkytown denizen, it was only a few blocks from my apartment.
In fact, on the Sunday night before I started my first "real job" after graduation, I insisted on a plaza burger, fries, and a hot fudge+banana malt in Annie's cozy and inviting dining room as my celebratory meal.

As lovely as Annie's ambiance is, it's the food that always kept me coming back.

The burgers - and especially the plaza burger, which is served with onions and sour cream on a pumpernickel bun - are some of my favorites in the Twin Cities. And I'm not just speaking from the perspective of nostalgia - they're really good!

For the non-burger eaters among you, Annie's offers plenty of other options, including chicken sandwiches, grilled cheese, and a really tasty egg salad sandwich.

No matter what you order, though, you have to get the fries.

They're cut in house and fried to perfection. Or onion rings. They're also incredible. Maybe just bring a friend so you can have some of each.
And it would just be silly to leave Annie's without a malt - whether you have it in house or back at home, have it you must.

The hot fudge sundae with bananas and nuts is also quite something if you're not feeling malt-y.

So, I offer a my hearty “Welcome back!” to this treasure of a malt shop in Minneapolis, Minnesota – and I can’t wait to line up for a plaza burger! Annie’s Parlour has a Facebook page but isn’t all that active. Even so, you can check out the eatery’s menu there. It’s been pretty busy since it reopened in late February 2024, so ordering burgers and malts for take out and having a little staycation at home may not be a bad move – at least until the rush dies down a bit.
