Burkys Bar & Grill

Stopped in after baseball for a quick drink and some grub. We had a group of 8 and the gal that waited on us wasn't even supposed to be working that night. She just happened to be there and decided to help out, props to her! We sat out in the patio area which was pretty nice. They have a pretty good selection and the prices aren't bad either. I had the 21 shrimp platter with texas toast and they let me add fries. Everything was pretty tasty.

Burky's is a local bar in my hometown of Cologne, MN. It used to be called Siggy's 212 Club but was reopened a few years ago under new ownership. Get here fast for the best burgers and crinkle fries! I love their plain cheeseburgers and they have an amazing buffalo chicken sandwich. You can't beat the prices either; $5-$7 for a burger and fries that you probably won't be able to finish. The portions are huge! It's fun going in because Cologne's such a small town that during lunch you'll hear local banter going on between the bar/restaurant workers, farmers, and local community members who gather there every day for a meal. I haven't been there at night really, but I will definitely be back, hangover or not, for a huge burger and to reconnect with my native community!
