The Malt Shop

Family fun dining and unsurpassed malts

  • Great malts, burgers & fries
  • Daily specials
  • Vegetarian options

For over 30 years, The Malt Shop Restaurant has been serving up the best malts and hamburgers to Twin Cities diners. We have always placed a high value on the quality and value of the food we serve. We make all of our soups and salad dressings from scratch using the finest, freshest ingredients. Our hamburgers are made daily from fresh ground beef. We even bake our special cheesecake and carrot cake with cream cheese frosting to complete your meal with us, along with a cup of freshly ground and brewed Morningstar coffee.

The Malt Shop also caters to the vegetarian diner with a variety of choices such as our own ratatouille and spinach and mushroom lasagna. And we offer a special kid's menu with games and our monthly coloring contest.

Editorial Review for The Malt Shop – by Annamarie Cumpston

In Short
This is a cozy, charming throwback to a bygone era, featuring stained-glass windows and dark-wood decor with high wooden booths and Formica-topped tables. Young couples and kids come in for standard diner fare, but ice cream drinks are where the Malt Shop really shines. Malts and shakes are served in enormous metal cups and come in more than 30 flavors. Seasonal flavors include pumpkin, pecan, peanut butter or apple cider.

I love this place. I don't know how we came across it, but we stop by whenever we are in the area for burgers and malts. Delicious! Great family-owned feel, service is great and the food has always been excellent. Highly recommended!

Pros: great malts, positive ambiance, good food

Cons: parking can be tough

A magnet for the young--and the young at heart--who savor thick, scrumptious malts and shakes made the old-fashioned way.  See the full editorial review.
