Classic Edina diner for burgers, hand-cut fries, and malts; delicious nostalgia overall, but pricing is higher than fast-casual and consistency can wobble during busy times.
Convention Grill earns its grade as a beloved neighborhood landmark with exceptional decades-long customer loyalty and standout malts and hand-cut fries that justify the trip. Quality varies noticeably on core items, and service pace lags during busy periods, preventing the consistency needed for a higher grade. It's a charming, worthwhile diner experience—just expect occasional execution gaps alongside the nostalgia.
One caveat: Pricing feels high when adding fries and malts; expect $30-40 per person
