“Just good all around place for food and drink“

“My friends had told me I have to try the coneys at the Gopher Bar. I’m in St. Paul like never, so I have never got to go. I tried to go in July, but they were closed. And with their limited hours, it makes it tough.

I was finally in the area on a Saturday night, and hungry. I stopped in and it was well lit with plenty of seating. Fun, friendly atmosphere with a great wait staff. Fast service for a Saturday evening after 10pm. Got the drinks quickly, got the food quickly. Great service. I might go back just for the service.

I got the deep fried ravioli as an appetizer. Kind of like pizza rolls. They were delicious. I’d get them again for sure.

I also finally got to try the coneys. While they are expensive at $4 apiece, they are delicious. Served hot with a mountain of onions and on special toasted buns specifically for these coneys, it was a great experience. The only knock on the coneys is they don’t come with mustard on them which was odd. I knew they were missing something. I added the mustard and they were great. The dogs have a great “snap” to them when you bite them as they should.

I will definitely be back. Best coney’s in the metro that I’ve found. And I’ve tried a LOT of places.

Just be warned, parking in ST. Paul can be a nightmare and the Gopher Bar only takes cash.

Thanks for the great meal!“

“Wonderful Sunday breakfast brunch! Great service; delicious food!!“

“This is my favorite Ethiopian restaurant! The doro wot is absolutely delicious, the service is always so friendly, and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. I highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to enjoy authentic Ethiopian food in a cozy setting.“

“Great for weekend activities“

“Food was awesome. Friday fish fry was only $15 and it was amazing. Can’t wait to go back tomorrow for dinner!“

“Excellent breakfast and service“

“If you’re looking for a hidden gem, The Cherry Pit is the place to be. From the moment you walk in, the cozy mom-and-pop vibe makes you feel at home. The food? Hands down the best I’ve had in a while! Portions are huge, fresh, and bursting with flavor, and all at an unbeatable price. Plus, the cherry on top – they’ve got charging stations right at the table, so you can stay connected while enjoying your meal. Highly recommend this spot! Mary K. Was our server and she was fantastic – super attentive and genuinely kind. She made sure we had everything we needed without hovering, and her recommendations were spot-on. It’s rare to find such great service that matches the quality of the food, but The Cherry Pit definitely delivers on both!“

“Excellence ! A touch of Class, Incredible service, Incredible entertainment-Coconut Tiger! Great staff! Unbelievable how amazing the vibes were on Friday night! We love this place! What a great job these guys do wow. A+💯“

“Phenomenal burgers! Great service! Definitely recommend!“

“A local Rochester, MN restaurant chain -now branching out to a new location- Newt’s (Apple Valley) brings everything we love about the Rochester locations (GREAT burgers, beers, and unlimited popcorn!) to our little corner of the Metro. We were stoked when we heard Newt’s had arrived, and our first visit there certainly delivered. The food and atmosphere were excellent. Great service too! Welcome to our neighborhood Newt’s. We wish you much success here in Apple Valley, MN. Keep it up.“

“Food was great. Service was great. Ambiance was great.“

“Great food. Served hot which is nice“

“Our favorite local place to enjoy amazing food and amazing service! Our servers, Erica and Martiza, are literally the bomb. We try to always come when they're working!“

“Welcoming, with just the right amount of lighting, TVs, ambient music and TVs. Cozy bar area. Highly recommend the chips and queso, it's way more complicated and tasty than it sounds. Plenty of street parking. You'd be dumb not to go here.“

“Waitress was very good, three of us went there for lunch. The fries were extremely salty so we asked for new fries. Then we bit into our burgers and ask them if they could cook them longer. They said they did but came back still as red as ever. The next batch of fries weren't even cooked all the way.Yeah, there was no salt as requested. But they weren't even cooked. Then sent them back to see if they could cook them longer.I don't even think they did it.I don't even think that he put the burgers back on the grill. I really never get time off to go have lunch somewhere and this is a place I chose and it was the worst. And even worse , I asked if Brian was there , and I guess he was the cook. Extremely disappointing, and if you can't cook a burger in fries.I think you've lost your passion and should give up! Even took photos, no where to post them.
We had a couple bites of fries.Burgers still weren't cooked so we did not eat them paid for our meals. I did tip the waitress as wasn't fault!“

“Love it! Great service and fantastic bar food out in the edges of the Twin cities.“

“Always a good time, wonderful neighborhood bar.“

“We visited on a Tuesday evening and had the dining area to ourselves, which was perfect for my 96-year-old grandmother. The quiet atmosphere allowed her to hear everything and more easily join in on the conversations.

Our waitress was kind and attentive, with a traditional touch—she served the ladies at the table before the gentlemen, something I had not experienced before dining here. The food was better than we expected it to be, especially given that the menu was on the smaller side. We even got a slice of chocolate cake in honor of the birthday we were celebrating. Overall, it’s a nice spot to bring your family if you’re looking for a very calm, relaxed setting.

I’ve also included a photo of the menu since I had trouble finding an up-to-date version online—hopefully it’s helpful!“

“all 5 of us loved every bite. best burger tots were the best! service was great!“

“The Charcuterie boards ordered on-line were delicious and wonderful! They contacted me as I had asked for all boards and no plastic trays. I appreciated the effort to accommodate my request. Thank you“

“A group of 11 on Friday evening at a lovely round table set a bit into a nook. The food and drinks were great, as was the service. It’s a visually lovely place. Unfortunately, the noise was so overwhelming, I left with a headache, and disappointed that I hadn’t been able to hear beyond each of the friends seated immediately next to me. I don’t routinely spend this much when I go out to eat, but am happy to when all the features align. Because of the noise, the Saint Paul Grill will not be a choice next time.“

“A classic Saint Paul neighborhood bar, with simple grub yet so affordable, a mix of Asian and American. All served as takeaway but you can eat it there if you want and the portions are gigantic. There's bingo two nights a week, a Friday afternoon meat raffle, and pulltabs/etabs. Locals are the majority of the clientele but for all its grittiness, it's a safe place with patrons who care about the establishment! Watch out for the parking lot. It's a dirt lot minefield of potholes that will destroy your transmission of you go faster than 1 mph.“

“Tonight we rented out the Carbone's banquet room for our daughters 30th surprise birthday party. Wow what a great time we all had and the Carbone staff was outstanding. Working with Tim/Janelle/Cole and our server Chris to make this the prefect night was flaw-less. Future party gathering's at Carbone's will definitely be happening. Thank you Carbone's for making our evening special.“

“I have been going to HyVee for breakfast every Friday for the past 3 years. The food has always been excellent but the stand highlight for the five of us each week has always been our server Denise. She has made the experience at HyVee delightful and memorable. She is a HyVee treasure“

“Awesome staff and fabulous patrons!“

“Love this place!! Bacon cheeseburger sliders and cauliflower bites both fantastic! only small disappointment is the change to the new square pretzel bites… I know it sounds strange but the other ones were phenomenal! We even went to Lumberjacks to see if they were still serving them
Great time great atmosphere great service“

“I love this bar, I come in and spend money all the time. I buy drinks for people and always tip the bartenders and servers. Today I came in looking to conserve money because I’m getting hit with school loans. I ask the bartenders if I could just tip a dollar and hang out and he says no. I ask my buddy Dave if he can cover a soda but he’s tapped. So I oblige and go to my wallet and pull out a 5 to pay for a half order of fries. The bartender denies me service and accuses me of getting the money from bar partrons. This is MY money that I earned and here I am willing to spend it in order to follow their rules of no hanging out without spending money.

This man damn near lost me as a customer. I’ve spend hundreds of dollars at this establishment over the last few months.

I still think this is a great bar and the other staff are fantastic, the food is great and people are generally friendly( as friendly as Minnesota can be).

This bartender will never receive a tip From me again. Pissed off that I’ve tipped him in the past.
I just played pull tabs since he literally denied me service.
Once again still a great bar. If the owner would like to know who this bartender is let me know.“

“Nice pool tables and live music :)“

“because Cubfoods hires and stands behind people who abuse their customers.“

“Very high quality food. Steak was amazing and the salad was fantastic. Portions were great for the pricing. Lots of places now have poor salads and this place had an amazing salad. Very fresh and great mixed greens. Great service and easy parking. Would come back again and again.“

“Our kitchen is open. We focus on serving high quality, freshly made to order bar food, with a twist. We offer food specials as well as surprise Gourmet chef specials. We have awesome Bloody Mary's one of the best I've had. We offer drink specials 2 4 1s on domestic beer and premium rails. Our neighborhood is being revamped which is awesome for the bar and community. So if your looking for a cool neighborhood dive bar with awesome staff and great food come Check out The Saint Paul Saloon. P.s The owner is on site and loves to interact with the patrons of the bar.“

“Love the pinball machines! Highly recommended!“

“As a vendor. HBC management made me feel comfortable. All the employees were positive and always smiling. I love this type of environment.“
