Big E has some of the best and unique burgers in Minnesota. All of the burgers have egg in them and it really adds to the flavor. I ordered the Rocket Man (beef and bacon) and the C.R.E.A.M. (Smoked salmon and cream cheese). The Rocket man is a house special and I can see why with its savory goodness. I think the C.R.E.A.M. Might be my future go to. I loved the smoked salmon combo with sliced boiled eggs. The crew was friendly and the atmosphere was chill (great music playing)! I will be stopping in again so I can work my way through the entire menu!

Amazing atmosphere with music that is a great Throw back to 90s music scene. Food is . We had the special, the it was just a dream. and the C.R.E.A.M sandwiches and they were BOMB. The cost reflects the quality of the ingredients. AND was talking with the owner who said most of the ingredients are locally sourced from other local companies. Great way to treat your taste buds while supporting local

Loved the food and the menu! They do a great job a putting a spin on your typical burger. We ordered the “It Was All A Dream”, which was a medium rare steak that was sooo tender and “The Debate” which was a sweet and crispy chicken sandwich. We also ordered a side of fries, which were perfectly fried and seasoned. My suggestion is to ask the for a side of their curry ketchup for the fries.

Maybe the sandwich could’ve been bigger, but the quality was for sure there. I wanted to try Big E because I hadn’t gotten the chance yet, so my boyfriend and I came in on a Monday morning and a man was working there alone. He was kind and made suggestions. We ordered, and it took a bit of time but we were so happy to take home 2 crafted breakfast sandwiches and perfect, golden delicious hash browns. If Big E was in a better location, I believe this place would be hopping! It felt like it belonged in New York or something. We will be back!

Freshly made breakfast sandwiches that were really delicious. Lots of different unique sandwiches to try, definitely looking forward to going back. The photo shows the “C.R.E.A.M” sandwich on the left, if you like smoked salmon this one is amazing. And the one on the right is “Her Name is Yoshimi” which was also really good.

Excellent food and choices. Cooked to order yet still quick service. The employee was polite and professional. Had the CREAM and When Doves Cry sandwiches. Ingredients felts fresher and healthier than most sandwich options. Will definitely come back to try the other sandwiches. Right next to Grand Ole Creamery for dessert.

This is an Urban - Modern eatery. Not your ol' ma n' pa's place. Good vibes can be expected! Come hungry, because the food is upscale, and the portions will keep your hunger away for hours. But, my favorite part is the originality, how the dishes a named. In any random place on the Earth, you'd ask for a Burger, but here you ask for ''It was all a dream''. That's a name with some mojo! Every dish has an original name to it, which makes the eating even more enjoyable. So, come in for lunch, get a take-out for dinner, or call for a pick up. Fresh ingredients and friendly people make this place (and the food) a special treat.
