50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Saint Paul

“I truly can’t name a better restaurant in the twin cities. The food is amazing of course but the customer service knocks it out of the park for me every time. Thank you thank you thank you“

“Love this place. A true East Side gem. We have tried the Burgers, Shawarma wrap and bowls totally addicting. Chicken tenders are a hit and don't forget the Gyros they are awesome. Ice cream better than the DQ. Try to visit there one a week. The owners are lovely, very friendly.“

“We celebrated with dinner at the Lexington and it was a perfect spot to try! Our waitress, Grace, was phenomenal and so attentive to us. She helped us celebrate with a surprise photo and ice cream sweet:) She went above to help our experience be wonderful! We loved the valet option and enjoyed our first time at the Lexington! 🥰“

“Truly amazing wood-fired hand crafted pizza!! Thoughtful & unique side sauces to complement their HANDMADE works of art. We enjoyed two dine in pies that included complementary dipping sauces! Our family favorite was the honey ranch and the hot honey that complemented their Hawaiian style Za perfectly. Let’s not forget the house made garlic aioli sauce *chefs kiss* We cannot wait to try their cheesesteak options when we return in a few weeks! Our family was visiting from Duluth, Mn and would be honored to have them in our city someday! Job well done! Thank you for having us!!“

“Accidentally arrived at Brunson's for lunch because the place down the road where we were supposed to go was closed. Best service I've had anywhere in America since before covid. Food was excellent, made from scratch, and doubt anyone could go wrong on the menu. Highly recommend.“

“We were on a quest to find a new ice cream place and stumbled upon Treats via Google. I am so happy we found it! Best ice cream ever! Who would have thought mixing cereal with ice cream could be so amazing!?? Definitely coming back again and again :)“

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

“Excellent food and service, but they rush your dining enjoyment, pushing your main meal while still enjoying appetizers, suggesting they want higher table turnover over customer satisfaction. We felt rushed, likely won't return.“

“Organic beer! Yes! We have just discovered this brewery and cannot express how wonderful it is to have an organic, sustainable brewery in the twin cities. The beer is so flavorful and feels good to drink. The pollinator friendly gardens and rain garden are lovely additions to the location and make the experience delightful. The owners and the rest of the staff are knowledgeable and friendly and bring warmth to the vibe. Paired with the Farina Rossa and their delicious food, this is truly a place worth coming to and sharing with others.“

“My sister and I had lunch. We had the greatest waiter. Jordan. He was fun, attentive and had great drink and food suggestions. Even though he was by himself and ended up getting super busy, his warm personality still shined through. Great variety of foods on the menu“

“We got a burger and a chicken sandwich; both were delicious and seasoned well. That garlic sauce for the fries was fantastic. Not too busy, probably because of the construction, but there was a consistent flow. I've got to go back to try other menu items because the little we did have let's me know they're cranking out some good stuff. I believe I saw some brew on tap.“

“Workers are very polite and coffees are good. Ive been to plenty of places that advertise a seasonal flavor but then the drink just tastes like coffee. Tried Nina's pumpkin spice latte and it definitely tasted like its name. Tons of seating and very cozy vibes.“

“I enjoy "mining" the $2 bins for hidden treasures!“

“What an awesome way to spend sometime. Beautiful place and staff is supper friendly“

“Fantastic beers, love it 🍻🇺🇸 #StatechaserUSA #YouHaveBeenChased“

“Fast friendly service. Food was good and hot. Will come again when I visit next time!“

“The Mongolian Beef noodles were absolutely perfect“

“Always delicious! A real treat.“

“Fabulous Biergarten and great staff“

“We went to the cities to see Evanescence on the 20th of September and had layover time for the concert to start so my husband and I walked from the venue to Little Brazil. Unfortunately, we got absolutely drenched walking back to the show. Not only that, but we forgot our precious signed posters from the band at our table . The staff saved our posters and kept them safe until we made it back to get them the next day which we truly appreciated. They would have been destroyed by the weather otherwise. We were SO enamored with this gem of a place, it was WORTH the soaked clothes, chattering teeth and watching the rest of the concert soaked through! There is definitely something for everyone whether it be coffee, dessert, sandwiches. They also have a market of imported goods to try like chocolate, candies, snacks etc. Now whenever we are near the cities, it's going to be a must stop! 💖“

“Best brisket and beans money or random kindness can get you 🔥♥️ We loved it and will be back next week“

“Great service, really good food, and the drinks were my favorite part!“

“Fantastic coffee, incredible apple fritters. Staff were kind and attentive. They have a large coffee roasting oven behind the counter, so the entire place smells heavenly. Only one bathroom though, so don’t drink your coffee too quick.

Will be back, and likely will be purchasing coffee beans from them in the future.“

“THE BEST!!!“

“This is such a nice little place. The Lex is the best espresso drink I’ve ever had. Wish I lived closer!“

“Excellent place for sushi. Great atmosphere as well.“

“Patio area on a nice night was phenomenal. Bar tenders were very good. I only ate nuts and chips/dip so I can't rate the food but I had a good time. Would've given it 5 stars if it weren't for that girl working the karaoke. She was extremely rude.“

“We love this place for the great seasonal beverage menu.“

“Beautiful patio and great pizza and beer!“

“Had many more dishes on the iron range“

“Had a very special celebrations here recently and it was amazing. Staff was awesome, food was delicious and ambiance was top notch. Every person in our party commented on what a great find this place was and how they couldn’t wait to come back. Thank you to the Luci Ancora team for making our celebration so wonderful.“

“Love this place! Family friendly, nice outdoor seating, and of course amazing beer. Had a remodel recently and I love the new furniture and indoor seating. The service is top notch and my toddler loves getting his hand stamped and the workers are always so nice to oblige him. Thanks!

2026 edit:
I have returned finally to visit the Ratskellar! I have been a few times over the past few years but not enough. I love the setup with plenty of indoor seating and also the outdoor patio area. They usually have a food truck but also recommend bringing your own food as well. Love the beer and the service!“

“Good was great.. good service.. The food 8/10.“

“delicious food, wonderful service,“

“I’ve eaten here three times. First place I’ve tried since moving to St. Paul. Can definitely say if you want a good breakfast/lunch this is the place to go. Everything is decently portioned for those who love big meals or would like some food for leftovers overs to enjoy later. Out of what I’ve had I’d recommend the Onigiri (specifically the salmon and pickled onions), any of their fruit teas, and the bacon and Swiss crepe (honestly any of them sound great though). All the food is fresh ingredients and not frozen.

Atmosphere is very chill and down to earth. Very cozy and comfort oriented. Only complaint is that if it’s busy not a lot of room to work with and can be a little loud. When it’s slower very nice place to hang out with friends and listen to the music they play.

The service is 5/5! Very nice, relatable, and fast service.“

“Comfortable place for some craft beers“

“This place saved me! I had a event on Tuesday for National Night Out. I was planning on brining churros for the event so I ordered with another company that canceled on me at 10am that day. I could not find anyone to accomidate such a short notice and needing 6 dozen churros! I walked in talked with the Owner over the phone and her worker and thankfully they were able to help! I placed my order at 4:40pm and walked out by 5:05, and made it to my event early enough to help set up!

The churros were a hit and everyone loved them! The team I was helping is thinking of having them cater next time they have a community event.

Thank you again to the staff and owner!“

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

“I went here for the first time today. The service was amazing, the coffee and food was great, and they have a cute little merchandise area. I will definitely be going again!“

“We tried for the first time tonight and I was/am pleasantly surprised at the portions of Ice Cream one gets. It's affordable and very good. I will definitely make referrals and return again and again.“

“Thank you for keeping the North Star Law Group crew fed! We always have such a great time at Gabe's! 💫“

“Fantastic menu - lots of great choices and a nice, spread out space with lots of natural light. Unique beers that are delicious!“

“Great selection and great beer garden. Loved my beer! High quality. Food available.“

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

“Love the atmosphere. Good food, great beer!“

“Amazing atmosphere, great food and reasonably priced. The live music is a plus!!!“

“Great place to grab a bite to eat while in Lower Town. Very warm, inviting space, including games and Legos! The food was delicious and exactly as we ordered it. The staff was very kind and made sure we had everything we needed. We will definitely be back.“

“I am not in the area to visit this business but if you are or passing through Minnesota stop in. Tell them Josh sent you! They are kind and caring about their community and gave free meals to the Homeless. So please give them a visit. *I heard the food is a #10 too! Thanks Kong’s Kitchen!“

“I buy their buys regularly at Mill City Farmers Market. Is there any better pie in the whole Twin Cities??? I don't believe so. I have tried MANY places. Vikings & Goddesses is so real, no fake ingredients. Fresh. Hand cut and served. VERY innovative varieties.“

“My human gets out of the car and goes to the truck. She comes back with a plastic disk and then we sit there for a while. The disk buzzes and flashes and the my human goes back to the truck and comes back with the best food ever. I don’t get to eat the goat tacos because they give me the midnight poops but the chicken quesadilla is the best.“
