50 Best American Restaurants near Saint Paul Park

“Always a fabulous meal - thank you!!“

“Some of the best food that side of the Pecos. Been there twice in the last couple weeks it's amazing. highly recommended

Vegetarian options: There is a chef working there I'm sure he can accommodate any type of special order

Dietary restrictions: I had a diabetes-friendly option

Parking: I didn't count them but I bet there's parking 400

Kid-friendliness: It is a bar and restaurant but I've seen kids playing outside that live in the marina. They played with my puppy dog.

Wheelchair accessibility: Parking lots on the same level as the restaurant it's a quick roll“

“I have a son who has Celiacs Disease and eating out is always a challenge. Not only is it hard to find places that can accommodate his dietary needs, it’s even harder to find places that have ‘staples’ that actually taste like he remembers before he had to cut out gluten. I heard about this place on a GF Facebook page and my wife I decided to make the 40+ minute drive from home as an end of the week treat. We couldn’t have been more pleased. The menu was actually hard for him to choose from so we almost let him try it all. We started with fried pickles and cheese curds, one of which was completely new to him, and the other which is a rare thing to find because of the batter and non-dedicated fryers. Both were amazing. For his main course he did fried walleye and tater tots. There was so much food that he was able to make it into two more meals the next day and they reheated perfectly in an air fryer at home. For dessert he had GF deep fried Oreos and ice cream. That dish was completely devoured with no leftovers remaining. My wife’s and my meals were not GF, but there was more options than we could handle and those dishes were also amazing.

The ambiance was typical of a small town sports bar/pub, which is again a rarity in terms of finding that kind of food in that type of establishment. Our server was very friendly and the person who delivered the food was equally friendly. I suspect he was an owner or the manager and he answered additional questions we had about the food prep and handling of the GF ingredients and cooking. We will definitely be making the trip back!“

“Wonderful local bar! Family owned“

“We were here for dinner over the weekend and everything about this place was phenomenal we tried multiple things off of the to share or not portion of the menu and loved every bit of it. The whole grilled fish our waitress mentioned rotates depending on what is available fresh and it was cooked to Perfection and probably our favorite thing all weekend. The cocktail menu is unique and everything that we had the opportunity to try was delicious I highly recommend doing the cocktail flight to anybody who doesn't have a favorite spirit. Staff was incredibly friendly and knew what they were talking about if you had questions. To those looking at going here reservations are a must!!!! Great atmosphere as well“

“Ate here with my two young adult sons. The atmosphere, vibe, seating, music, service and food were all top notch. Very chill, great food and drinks. Saw at least 4 couples on dates, a small group of friends, and a few small families all enjoying themselves. Will definitely go back when in town again!“

There was also dessert like bread pudding to banana cream pie, also fantastic. Can’t wait till our next dinning experience. It will be real soon!“

“Really good experience at the Culver’s in Woodbury Minnesota. Doing curbside and a shake tipped over in my car and the guy who brought it out was nice enough to go get towels and a new shake. Definitely did not have to do that. It was completely my fault, but he went above and beyond For customer that is a rare thing to find“

“All the ice cream things you would expect from a place shaped like an old dairy queen but add DELICIOUS MEXICAN FOOD and AMAZING espresso drinks. Tasty burgers, chicken strips and fries. Then tamales, in a few varieties including oaxaca! Icecream cakes, flurries, churros, tacos, espresso, friendly fast service. Great for kids!

Google asked me to update my review: don't sleep on the coffee. The owner owns an espresso farm
Love this place.“

“AWESOME BURGERS!!!!!!!! 🍔“

“We attended the Mother’s Day brunch today. Oh my gosh! Great selection of brunch food items, desserts and beverages. The food was delicious! Quick table side service. Friendly staff, from host to table bussers. Loved the hints of flowers on each table, the very large flower arrangement when walking in and the ice sculpture!! The views, prices, cleanliness and family friendly environment will have us coming back. Thank you!“

“Papas Bravas 😍 u must try them.“

“I haven't had much time to frequent this place much lately, but every time I do I have the time of my life. The staff is amazing, the food is incredible and the community is tight knit and welcoming. I couldn't have picked a better city to live in than St. Paul, and Pillbox is a major reason for it.“

“We stayed at the Marriott for a show at Grand Casino Arena. Ate dinner at Smorgies. Food was very good! No waitress, you order food from the QR code at each table, then bartenders run out to you. Everyone was very friendly and accommodating! Would eat there again! Very nice outdoor seating!“

“Really good food but 4 bucks for a fountain soda??? Cmon.“

“Kacey was awesome! She was super friendly, on top of everything, and made sure we had everything we needed the whole time. Our food came out quick and hot, and she checked in just the right amount. You can tell she actually cares about her customers. One of the best servers I’ve had at Applebee’s — she really made the experience great!“

“I highly recommend Mrs. Beth Abrams for her exceptional work. She specializes in forex and bitcoin investment, as well as funds recovery. Over the past three months, I have been utilizing her services, starting with an initial investment of $1,500. Thanks to her impressive trading skills, she helped me make over $12,000, and I've been consistently enjoying significant profits with easy withdrawals. The numerous testimonials from satisfied clients reflect the excellence of her services, and I am equally pleased with the results.“

“had a blast here. food was great and kids were occupied throwing rocks!!!“

“I have been here three times, funny I don’t have photos of the food… it’s that good that it disappears quickly! Every time I have ordered something different, very unlike me as I marry with a certain dish in each restaurant, but here I’ve risk to try something new every time and haven’t regret it! One of the few places that I have been with all my daughters as adults (since we all live in different states)“

“It has become our Friday night go-to place. Great service, Super nice staff, and AMAZINGLY tasty food. I’m working my way down the menu and haven’t tried everything, but everything I’ve tried has been great!“

“Great food, atmosphere, service and drinks. Reasonably priced, hometown bar feel, favorite place for happy hour or a meal any day of the week.“

“The best hole-in-the-wall spot for coney dogs! The food is always delicious, and the old-school atmosphere gives it so much character and charm. It’s the kind of place that feels like a local favorite the moment you walk in. If you’re craving a great coney dog and a nostalgic dining experience, this is the place to go.“

“Great view, food and beer selection. Great service team…“

“Good service and food. We were there right before closing. Great job“

“Our server Desiree was wonderful and the food was very hot and speedy tonight! But Desiree was a highlight of our dinner. She was so friendly and welcoming, and anticipated our needs the whole night!
People like her are the reason why we will keep returning!!!! 😁😁😁“

“Went at 9pm for date night.
This place restores the soul. Beauty abounds. Crisp Nightcap rocks.
Thoughtful NA options.

3 deviled eggs, not 4? Boohoo. Burger is worth at most, $15, not $21.
Bar food is telling me: "You should just eat in the restaurant, you fool!" Not at all bad, not at all great.“

“Excellent Restaurant. You will enjoy dinning outside the Restaurant during summer mild sunshine. Food is great and fair price.“

“Great place to visit before and after Wild games!!!!“

“Showed up at 5:15. I told everyone about my reservations…except you! I made it for the wrong day! The hostess/manager took it in stride and set up an extra table and our service was wonderful. All four of us totally finished our meals and that says a lot for the food quality.
Thanks“

“Nice staff and pretty good food.“

“The drinks were poured strong and the burger had amazing flavor. However, the bartender was overwhelmed and you could tell the kitchen was running short staffed. When I placed my ordered for my burger I requested no onion and no garlic aioli. I watched the new waitress write that specifically. My burger came out with onions on it, no biggie I just took them off. I got half way through my burger and took a bite and there was special sauce on it. I spit it out, began gagging and it took everything in my power to not throw up all over. The new waitress came up and asked if I was okay. I begged her to take my plate away, and she got me a new water. My appetite was ruined. We were pushing time for our concert shuttle so we quickly paid our bill and left without complaint but we were surprised my meal wasn’t comped. I was super bummed I couldn’t finish the burger as it was SO good!! Attention to detail is important and I’m just glad I wasn’t allergic to something in the sauce!“
