27 Best Seafood Restaurants near Maplewood

“Really good well rounded hot pot BBQ place. Better than others in the area. Very loud, and chaotic at peak dining hours. I don't particularly agree with a tip surcharge (i think it was 18%?) For a table of two when your order is taken via iPad, and a robot brings it to your table, and you have to get your own sauces and sides and desserts etc... very little hospitality in this style of service for the need to add that charge.“

“Delicious. Large portions, enough for two meals.“

“The staff is great! Food taste amazing, overall a great atmosphere. Didn't mind grabbing a drink at the bar while we waited for an awesome show!

Kid-friendliness: The servers are so great with kids! They gave the kids crayons and paper to have some fun with.“

“I will recommend king Cajun to the people in Saint Paul I tried it and it is perfect“

“We recently got married (October 2024) and Lake Elmo Inn catererd our wedding. It was absolutely AMAZING! We had the prime rib carving station and the walleye as well as the duck soup and salad. Our guests are still talking about the food. We decided to upgrade to the "LEI Experience" which means each of your guests get a warm hand towel, an intermezzo sorbet, and a chocolate covered strawberry!!! We were over the moon with the service on the night of the wedding and all our communication with LEI throughout the process. Special shoutout to Kayla G. who was the most patient, professional, and kind event manager! She answered every single one of my (many) questions and she did so with a smile! On the night of the wedding, we were SO impressed with how fast the servers were able to get to each of our guest tables and keep the flow going. It was seamless, seriously. We cannot recommend Lake Elmo Inn Catering enough. They've total pro's and just know that you'll be in good hands. Thank you again to everyone on the team for your hard work to make the dream come true!! <3“

“We stopped in by accident on a Friday night. The food is incredible. The cook really understands herbs and spices and is making everything from scratch. Not being familiar with Ethiopian food, we randomly ordered samosas, lamb tips, beets and lentils. Each dish was a mouthful of delight. The beets were my favorite and my friend who does not like beets loved this. Not at all convenient to my house, I will gladly drive for this food and sweet little restaurant.“

“Today was my first time eating Herr and it was very good.“

“The bartenders and whole staff are very welcoming! Food is always perfect. Love the spice!“

“Fresh, reasonably priced seafood boils and more!“

“I tried Trieu Chau for the first time today I had the Bahn Mi. Absolutely fantastic the best bread ever and grilled pork!!! super fresh ingredients. I can’t wait to come back. I live about an hour and a half north of Duluth. If they brought this type of food up by us, they’d be a millionaire overnight nobody is making quality Vietnamese food.!!!!!!!!“

“Excellent food! Skillfully prepared and seasoned beautifully. Have visited twice and will go back for sure. Also, their sister restaurant, Mizu, is amazing as well.“

“Dinner at Oakdale. Food was fantastic. Our wait person Tif gets a “10” - great personality- checked to see if we needed anything several times. Highly recommend. Margo Devlin“

“Great chicken. Fries are zingy great prices“

“On top of having great service the food was amazing. I had half a dozen Oysters, they were delicious and the King Crab leg with there ranch and cheese mashed potatoes. It was a lot of food but the best I’ve had. I’d say they were as good as or better than the Oceanaire downtown Minneapolis. Bill was $180 before the tip.“

“Frankie was great at recommending the right single malt!“

“The food is amazing and has a good price“

“I ordered the beef ribs and pork ribs with their 5 cheese baked Mac and cheese and it was absolutely delicious!!! The pork ribs were a bit salty but if you eat it with the BBQ sauce they provide it's amazing I got them with the side Mac and the Mac was soooo good! You can tell there are 5 different cheeses and it wasn't dry! The pork ribs came with about 4 ribs and a few ends. The beef ribs are pretty big and came with 2 and an extra end. Next time I order I will definitely be getting just the beef ribs in my opinion they were better they had a bit of spice to them and weren't too salty! Baked Mac and cheese 9/10 just wish it came with a little more. Pork ribs 6/10 they were too salty but decent. Beef ribs 9/10 perfectly seasoned just wanted a little more moisture.“

“We got the alambre with 1/2 chicken and 1/2 al pastor and the pollo poblano and it was delicious! Service was excellent. We just moved here from Arizona and it’s been hard to find good Mexican food here, but this place hits the spot! We’ll definitely be back again ☺️👏🏽“

“If you’re in the Inver Grove Heights area make sure to check out Casa Ibérica! The food is amazing and the service is excellent - the fried catfish and wings along with the Baleadas were outstanding and there are many more menu options left to try.“

“The food was absolutely bussin. Similar to JJ Fish but hella better. Everything is tossed with this salty/sweet seasoning that goes crazy. It has a flavor profile that rolls from salty to sweet making every bite complex but delicate. We got the catfish, shrimp, chicken, fries, onion rings, and cheese curds. Every single thing was cooked perfect; crispy on the outside soft and moist on the inside. The breading ratio is very well done; I’d say it’s on the lighter side. This makes the quality of the primary ingredients vital to the profile, and the quality was awesome nothing was chewy or fishy. Hot and fresh. We got the mild sauce and it paired well. Seriously done right.

Definitely a local spot and the atmosphere might make the white folks a little nervous, but damn is it worth it.“

“My FAVORITE Chinese restaurant around- for miles - the Chef is a Master! She gets meals wok'd up real quick, is truly delectable and amazingly she still charges a fair & reasonable price- proprietor is so kind and personable to regulars as well“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you're looking for an exceptional dining experience in St. Paul, Peking Garden is the place to be! The atmosphere inside is absolutely incredible — warm, inviting, and beautifully decorated to give you that authentic Chinese ambiance. Whether you're enjoying a casual meal or celebrating a special occasion, you'll feel right at home. The staff here is nothing short of superb — courteous, professional, and genuinely attentive to every guest. They make you feel appreciated and valued from the moment you walk in until the last bite of your meal. In a time where many restaurants seem to give less for more, Peking Garden truly delivers. The portions are generous, and the food is authentic, flavorful, and consistently satisfying. You get your money’s worth and then some, with dishes that never disappoint. Plus, they cater private events and have a private party room, making it a perfect spot for family gatherings or celebrations. There's truly something for everyone, making it a fantastic choice for families, couples, or groups of friends. I genuinely wish there was a way to give more than five stars because this place deserves it. If you're in the Twin Cities, Peking Garden is an absolute must-visit! You won't be disappointed.“

“I dont know many Chinese restaurants like this one these days with the awesome food! But Im giving the 4 star because I have been here several times over the past 6 months and it is not consistently awesome...id say it probably depends on whos making it or how long it has been waiting before being ordered. Either way, I recommend it!“

“Muy buen servicio, empleados muy atentos.“

“I dine here once a while because the dishes are flavorful and i love supporting the hmong community, , sometimes too flavorful (salty). I have to say the amount food I got was worth the money compare to most places now days, so good ups on the portion! I didnt dine in so I didnt put any stars for the atmosphere but I called to order the guy was helpful.“

“First timers and we were blown out of the water! Staff was so attentive and knowledgeable! Food was fresh, cooked perfectly and savory! The LOBSTER MAC WAS 🔥🔥🔥🔥. Can’t wait to come back! Will made amazing bourbon recommendations in the bar and surpassed every expectation we had for our first visit. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!“
