Big J's Pizza & Burgers

"5 Stars! A Nostalgic Gem in St. Anthony! What a nostalgic treat! It's been decades since I've been to Big J's, and while I'm not sure if it's under the same ownership as when I was a little girl, one thing's for sure, bravo to whoever is running it now! When we pulled up, the drive-thru was packed, so we decided to dine in. At first, we were the only ones inside, but by the time we finished our meal, there were only two tables left open, on a Tuesday evening! It's clear this place is loved by locals and visitors alike. We ordered a little of everything: fried pickles (so good!), a pizza bomb, small pizza, BBQ bacon burgers, fries, a corn dog, and of course, shakes. Every single item hit the spot. The food was fresh, flavorful, and arrived quickly, even with a few order modifications. Everything came out exactly right. The restaurant itself was clean and welcoming, and the entire experience just felt like a throwback in the best way possible. It's easy to see why this place is still buzzing after all these years. Skip the chains! Big J's is a true St. Anthony icon. Let's keep this local gem going strong for decades to come!"

"Burgers, fries, and shakes are Sysco core (or as I like to call it "Syscore"). Basically cafeteria food. Not bad, fine, but not amazing. Essentially a restaurant chain in disguise--nothing but frozen products shipped in and prepared in-house. Portions are surprisingly small, but prices are also reasonable. But a totally acceptable place to eat. Amazing atmosphere, too. If I come back again I'll try the pizza and see if it's any better."

"The place is pretty small so seating is limited. I recommend takeout. I waited 15-20 minutes for a pizza bomb. I highly recommend it if you've never been here before. It was my first time and I'd rate the pizza bomb a 8/10. I would love to come here with family and friends, but if I do go, I'd go before the lunch hour rush or before dinner when seating is more readily available, otherwise, the place lives up to its reviews."

"This place has been around a long time, but inside it's kept clean and the group I was with was really glad we found this looking for places to stop for lunch. Their strawberry shake was super good, and I thought the food was good for the price. A solid option for a quick bit to eat."

"Seriously good burgers, professional service and clean environment. Reak strawberry shake is fantastic."

"Visited twice; had a burger and fries and then a pizza bomb (what most of us would call a calzone). Both meals were tasty and priced very reasonably, especially for a small town eatery. The kids working there were professional, but service can be slow when it's busy. It has a drive thru option as well."

"The food here is amazing! You have the option to get a burger or pizza and both are probably the best in town. The service is amazing too. Great people working here and the atmosphere is great because of it!"
