Here in Minnesota, there’s a lot of competition for who makes the best burger. For decades, 5-8 Club and Matt’s Bar have competed over ownership of the famous Juicy/Jucy Lucy. In more recent years, Blue Door Pub has thrown its hat into the ring with the Blucy, a blue cheese-filled burger. Outside of the cheese-stuffed burger world, restaurants like Lions Tap in Eden Prairie and King’s Place in Miesville have each been called out for their impossibly delicious hamburgers.

We can’t say for sure who has the best burgers. But we can add another contender. In east-central Minnesota, a little-known restaurant serves up some of the most decadent burgers in the state. Stop into Crazy Mary’s Cafe to get a taste of the famous hashbrown-topped Uffda Burger. Read on below to learn all that you need to know about visiting this spot:
