We stopped by on our drive from St. Louis to Minneapolis, and this was the perfect stop. Great GF bun and fries, and so many flavors of burgers and sandwiches to pick from. The staff was extremely nice and it was amazingly quick. Cute atmosphere. This will be our regular stop on our drive to/from Minneapolis.

I had an amazing experience at The Map Room. I had a seat at the bar and was helped by a very nice bartender who explained exactly what was gluten free when I asked her for help. They offer gluten free buns and have a dedicated fryer! I got a nice big order of fries to start off with and she gave me three different gluten dipping sauces, their goat cheese aoili was to die for so I had them put it on my burger. I ordered a double burger with swiss and white cheddar, mushrooms, bacon, pickles, lettuce and I had to have them put that goat cheese aoili on it. I loved that I could get it on a bun, and honestly the bun would be so much better if it were toasted but it wasn't dry, actually stayed together and I thought it tasted like most gluten free breads. I actually sat at the bar hoping to feel more comfortable and it really did work. I even got a lovely mocktail, a nongroni, it was spicy and easy to drink. I will definitely be coming back!

Burger was incredible! The gluten free bun was one of the best I've had. And the fries have their own dedicated fryer, so the fries are also gluten free.

If you're celiac, you'll have no issues coming to this place.

So this was actually really good. My friend and I were in town for an event and decided to stop here for a late lunch.

The wait staff were awesome and were very knowledgable for the most part on the ingredients in their food as well as very friendly. Both my roommate and I are highly Allergic to gluten and dairy.

It really is a little hole in the wall. Can only seat 40 people inside. But the place is so cool. You walk in and have to adjust to the low lighting. Maps surround and cover the space.

We both did build your own burgers with gluten free/dairy free buns. I love the fact that they had these and that bun is by far my favorite gluten free bun I have ever had.

However we both got exposed to dairy while there. My guess is they cooked our burgers in butter after expressly being told about our allergies and not doing it. Which saddens me because everything else was perfect.

The fries are delicious and fried only in the same fryer as their gluten free dairy free veggie burger. I think next time I might try the veggie burger instead.

Yes I still want to come back. But I would like it if the kitchen staff would be more careful of contamination when it is stated a customer has a food allergy.

My food was definitely cross contaminated. It sucks because now I feel like crap, and being pregnant on top of it. Service wasn't great, food wasn't even that good to be worth it.

This is a great little hole in the wall place. Fantastic eclectic atmosphere, friendly staff, and delicious food. There was a dedicated fryer for fries and the GF bun was amazing! My only complain for the place was that the napkins were too thin!

Service was excellent, friendly staff all around. Originally messed up my order, but were quick to re-do. Got a burger with a gluten free bun. They have an asterisk next to the food that’s gluten-free or can be made gluten free.

I had the Maui Burger and fries and they were fantastic!! I loved the Spam on the burger! Haven’t had that since my honeymoon in Hawaii. They do have a dedicated fryer for the fries and no reactions from any of the food. Definitely a must go if you’re in the area😊

A unique space and a tasty menu full of uncommon burgers, fries (think variations on putene), and naan (flatbread) dishes. They have gluten free buns and the soup of the day was also gluten free. I tried the Napoli burger and the potato sausage soup. Delicious!
