Minnesota Turkey Turkey To Go Stand — Restaurant in Falcon Heights

For years I would get two giant turkey sandwiches from here. I'd get one right when I walked in and one right before I left. They were massive, juicy, full of flavor, and there were all kinds of toppings and sauces you could add on off to the side. It was a two handed ordeal to eat and you'd still have enough turkey left over for another sandwich. I haven't been to the fair since 2018 and finally made it back last night (2025). I raved about the sandwich yesterday to my wife, my coworkers, my friends, anyone that wanted or didn't want to listen. Finally, I would get my favorite fair food again. What I got handed after I got my first sandwich in 7 years was not giant, it was not juicy, and it was not anything like I remembered. I could hold the sandwich with one hand without issue or any turkey spilling out the side. The bun was small, the portion of turkey was small, but the price sure wasn't small. There were two options for BBQ sauce and a little shaker for Cajun sprinkle and that was it. There used to be mayo, hot sauce, ketchup, BBQ, Mustard, etc. All the BBQ sauce in the world couldn't have made the turkey juicy. Overpriced, over cooked, and overpromised by the name. Time to find a new favorite...

My son wanted a turkey leg at the fair so I googled where to get the best one and Google told me here. GOOGLE LIED. We have been eating smoked turkey legs at Ren Fest for a lifetime (always delicious) and have never had one from the fair. Words cannot explain how not giant, dry, bland, tough, overly crispy yet also slimy and all around disgusting this $18 abomination was.

My son was filled with guilt and sadness when, soon after trying his best to suffer through this, he asked if he could throw it away. After taking a bite, I said of course.

We go to the state fair every year and we had never tried this before due to hearing mixed reviews over the years. When we went to the stall, it was deserted - and I can see why. This is without a doubt and by a landslide the grossest thing we have ever tried at the fair, and honestly one of the worst things I’ve ever tried in general anywhere. And no, the bbq sauce didn’t help!!! Save your money and your taste buds and avoid at all costs!!!!! Did I mention this thing was $18?!?!?!!

People work way too hard for way too little to be serving them inedible things like this. Whether a turkey leg is smoked or baked, for $18 it...

I can't stop raving about the experience! The turkey sandwiches were stacked high with tender, juicy shredded REAL turkey, perfectly seasoned and packed with flavor.

As for the turkey legs, they were absolutely phenomenal—cooked to perfection, with the meat practically falling off the bone. Each bite was smoky, succulent, and utterly satisfying.

What made the experience even better was the excellent service. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making us feel like we were valued guests rather than just another face in the crowd. They were quick to serve, despite the hustle and bustle of the fair, and always had a smile on their faces.

The overall atmosphere at the fair was electric, with the delicious aroma of turkey wafting through the air, adding to the festive vibe. Whether you're a fan of classic turkey sandwiches or craving a hearty turkey leg, this is a must-visit spot at the fair. The food, the service, and the overall experience were nothing short...
