13 Best Delis near Saint Paul

“Great Sandwiches, been eating there a long time. Great Staff, very patient and professional!“

“Great food and excellent service. Highly recommend!!“

“Kind of expensive.It's good to have food located in a building that is rather far away from shops and restaurants.Very clean and tidy.Nice tvs to watch while one eats.Cozy patio for eating.It's nice that it has its own entrance to the building.“

“I love this place for breakfast and lunch! You get a lot for what you pay. Fluffy pancakes with bacon is my go to. Love the loyalty card as well. One thing I would like to see would be more cooks during the lunch hour, sometimes it can take 10+ minutes to get your food. One cook running the grill and one person prepping isn't enough for the amount of people who frequent your place. I will keep coming as long as the bacon holds out!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We were hungry, we saw the sign and swung into into Allycats Sandwich Shop up in White Bear Lake, and lemme tell yous guys, it's got that Satriale's Pork Store vibe, mixin' it up with some good ol' Southern flair. Now, picture this – I'm a vegetarian, right? And with their heavy southern menu, I started to get a little anxious like I was about to get pinched for racketeering. But to my surprise, they had a veggie burger on the menu that had me praising sweet baby Jesus on this glorious Sunday 🙌 Now, my hubby, he isn't shy when it comes to meat. So he sat down with his Nashville Hot Chicken like Tony Soprano sitting down to family dinner hosted by Paula Dean. The Sriracha tots caught our eyes, so we gave those a try. And with that mojito lime ranch sauce....I'll I could say was 'bada bing and slap my mmama'😋 They're a whole new level of yum. And the staff? They're as friendly as sweet tea on a Southern porch. If you're lookin' for a Jersey vibe that meets the South, Allycats is the place to be, no doubt about it! #southernfood #sopranos #foodreview“

“I had the chicken chimichanga and my partner had the shrimp tacos. He tried some of my rice & beans and immediately orders his own side! When we first got there, we were bummed out about no chips and queso… but everything following that seriously makes it worth it, forget the queso! The salsa was amazing as well. The service was awesome, I read somewhere that this place is owned by 3 sisters and you can absolutely tell they own the place. Not only can you tell they are happy to be there, but they really enjoy the restaurant. You’ll see them back there cooking your food before they bring it to you. And there is one ingredient in their food you will never taste at El Rancho Grande or any big name Mexican restaurant… LOVE!! We ate all our food and were definitely full, but it didn’t leave us feeling all gross and lethargic like you do after eating the greasy food at other restaurants. Come show this family owned business some love, you won’t regret it“

“Hands down one of the best buffets I’ve ever been to! Tinucci’s in Minnesota completely exceeded my expectations. From the perfectly cooked fish and juicy chicken to a fresh variety of nine different salads and a dessert table that felt like a dream—everything was incredible. But the true star? The prime rib. And yes, I got the coveted end slice—tender, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The service was phenomenal—warm, friendly, and attentive from start to finish. What made it even more special? The owner's grandson was there, helping out and greeting guests with genuine kindness. It’s clear that Tinucci’s is more than a restaurant—it’s a place built on family tradition, pride, and community. This family-owned gem has been serving Minnesotans for over 70 years, and you can feel that legacy in every detail—from the food to the service to the atmosphere. I never would’ve discovered this hidden treasure if I hadn’t followed the Hidden Places in MN page, and I’m so glad I took the chance to venture out. If you haven’t been to Tinucci’s—go. You’ll leave full, happy, and already planning your next visit.“

“I was staying in the University of Minnesota and this place was a life saver when I did not want to eat in the dining hall. Their falafel sandwich was genuinely some of the best falafel I have ever had and their fries were undoubtedly the best fries I have ever had. The service was super quick and we got our food in under 10 minutes consistently. The staff was super friendly and the restaurant had a great atmosphere to it. Would strongly recommend if you are in the area!“

“I’m working on a project here from Tennessee when a coworker took me to Buon Giorno for lunch. As soon as you walk in, the fresh bread aroma is amazing. On my second visit to the Pasta Bar, Kyle the Chef actually remembered what I got the week before. The made to order pasta is awesome and make sure to get the fresh bread that goes with it.“

“For most holidays, we order the ham for our family and it's so delicious! The customer service is top-notch. Derek (manager) made it right for us after we had an issue with our order. He went above and beyond our expectations. Definitely worth the price“

“Stumbled across this hidden gem on Uber Eats and I’m so glad I gave it a shot! I ordered the Lamb Gyro Shawarma, and it was absolutely delicious—tender, flavorful, and satisfying. You can really tell they care about quality. The fries that came with it were decent, but I think they could use a bit more seasoning to bring them up to the level of the shawarma.

Definitely planning to come back in person soon to try their Philly Cheesesteak and check out more of the menu. This spot might be lowkey, but the food speaks for itself. Highly recommend!“

“My review is two fold. First. The last time I came they made the best Somalian food I have ever eaten in my entire life! It is very authentic and robust with flavor. The staff and customers have been very friendly. Second, I came today for lunch and was turned away because they closed the restaurant to provide free meals to school children during Covid. I walked away with two free lunches for my kids pictured below. This is a new restaurant and I am happy to support them with my raving review because places like this are worth keeping around.“
