If you're into burgers and fries, my personal favorite is a local chain called Burger Time located on Division St and 4th Ave N. Generous proportions for fantastic low-cut prices.

There's a popular heat-attack inducing burger joint on East St Germaine and Lincoln Ave but can't remember the name. It's a small stand next to a auto exhaust repair store.

Then there's another Somali restaurant (not Mediterranean) in St Cloud but the hygiene factor is questionable. No one likes to sing Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire" when they're on a roadtrip.
