The daily digest of Twin Cities culture | Secrets of the City

This tiny shack on a frontage road in St. Louis Park has been around for some forty years, but only during the last four has it begun kicking out truly tasty burgers. Since the former owners of Franks A Million and the Wienery took over the retro spot, they've revived that twentieth-century marvel: the window tray. Sitting there propped outside your car, Wagner's burgers are the essence of temptation: hand-formed, crispy on the outside and soft in the middle, smothered with fresh toppings. Plus, the joint's old-school Cherry Coke literally glows from the added syrup, and the malts are crazy good. Hit the recline button on your car seat and settle in for a mighty fine meal. 3712 Quebec Ave S., St. Louis Park; 952-933-1857
