    Great old school burger joint. Follow the waitress ' recommendations of what to order. She was spot on . Patty melt, Dick's limey burger, tots and mac and cheese wedges. We had a great lunch.

    We stopped on our way to Minneapolis, small local place, juicy flavorful burgers, friendly service.

    What a fun and cheap way to get a heart attack! The burgers were cheap, greasy and great! After a few hours on the road, this was our pit stop before we drove into the Twin Cities. The burgers are much bigger than you'd imagine. No, you don't need a double cheeseburger, the single will be just fine. The onion rings were a bit greasy for my taste, but it was a great place and I would go again.

    The Ankle Apartment (Elbow Room) is not too bad. I would eat there again. Great breakfast.

    From the outside you would never know that one of the best burgers in all of Albert Lea is just inside waiting to be grilled. It honestly doesn't look like much of anything until you are opening the door and get hit with the first sent of cooking food. My partner and I went here my first time in Albert Lea and I LOVED it. I had a burger, and I believe he had a BLT, we shared an order of fries. The burgers are cooked and seasoned to perfection, and they are actually a reasonable size, and a SUPER deal for the money. I don't know if the fries are hand cut here or not, but they definitely know how to fry and season them! They were delicious! I hate mushy fries, and these were the perfect amount of crisp, without being hard/burnt. I will most assuredly be back!

    Wow...Awesome burgers and onion rings. Great tiny slightly run down place. They are usually the best. This place is no exception. Better burger than Five Guys, and I love Five Guys.

    On our way back from our son's college visit to St. Olaf. Great little spot just off 35. I had the Egg Burger with Peanut Butter and Bacon (very tasty). Boys had cheeseburgers. Nothing fancy on the appetizers, but everything warm and such a friendly server. Will definitely stop back on the way to or from Northfield!

    I have a special place in my heart for The Elbow Room. Sure, it's a tiny little dive, with nothing to speak of for parking, but I have a lot of happy childhood memories of walking to this little hole-in-the-wall with my grandparents for lunch. The burgers are simply the best you'll find in town. In fact, I haven't even found a burger in the metro area that makes me as happy as the ones I've had here. Circle bacon on the bacon cheeseburger so that every bite is bacony? Genius!

    Such a hidden treasure! Don't let the location and appearance make you waiver! This little "hole-in-the-wall" joint is the best, they always are! The burgers are the best around! They also have several different options that are equally as wonderful, but the burger is my personal favorite (and what they are known for!) If the food isn't enough to bring you in, the cheap prices are sure to!

    My buddies and I stopped in passing through Albert Lea. Great burgers. You can tell these aren't the Cisco kinds (unlike the chicken strips) and are hand pattied. Prices were very cheap. My only complaints would be they seemed to be closing at 2pm on Saturday and the beers we ordered were 3.2%. Otherwise, I thought the waitress was prompt and courteous and the good extremely tasty.

    Stopped here on Fourth of July weekend during a long trek through southern Minnesota. The Elbow Room is a little off the path of the interstate, but not going to the chain fast food stuff is pretty high priority. This is a little place that looked a bit divey, but it's clean and has clearly been there for ages. It's also clearly family owned and operated, so that was cool. The burgers were very good, and they were friendly. This is a good stopping point if you find yourself with hunger pangs on I-90.

    Fantastic burgers and a very friendly staff for this great hole in the wall. 3.2 beer but you are not there for drinking. Food all made right behind the bar area and limited seating. Have specials such as prime rib and stuff on Friday and Saturday nights. Never tried them because you come here for one reason.....the awesome burgers.
