New American Restaurants near South Saint Paul, MN

“Fantastic Place!! Roger and Candy do a Great job. Quick, Delicious, and Affordable. Takey Outy or Eaty Innee.“

“We had a fantastic date night at Joan’s! Highly recommend! The food was incredible. Perfect pacing, portions, wine pairings, and the flavors have you closing your eyes to experience each bite. One of the best meals we have ever had. Our server was thoughtful and friendly. Great dining atmosphere. We will be back!“

“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“

“We hired Brasa Catering for our wedding and couldn't happier with the food and service they provided. We received multiple comments that it was "one of the best wedding meals they've had" from a few guests. Not only was the food delicious, but the crew was extremely kind and went above and beyond for us. Thank you again for everything, we'll keep you in mind for future events!“

“Papas Bravas 😍 u must try them.“

“The hotel 🏨 was amazing 👏 from the moment we entered till we left“

“Five stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ — and honestly, I’d give it six if the people-watching counted as a side dish. Baldamar in Roseville just gets it. The ambiance? Beautiful. The service? Beautiful. The food? Consistently hits the spot every single time. It’s one of those places where you know exactly what you’re going to get—and it never disappoints. Now let’s talk about the real hidden gem: the weekday lunch crowd. If I were single and in the market for a finance daddy… this would be my hunting ground 😂. We’re talking tables full of businessmen, power lunches, suits everywhere—it’s like a live-action LinkedIn feed, and I’m here for it. Dinner is a whole different vibe. I’ve only been once, but wow, low lighting, a little moody, very date-night energy. Whether it’s a first date or you’ve been together forever, it just works. It’s cozy, a little sexy, and feels intentional without trying too hard. Service is always on point, you’ll even catch the manager making rounds, which says a lot. And the food? My go-to is the lobster roll (don’t overthink it, just order it). Also… prepare yourself for the desserts. When they say “to share,” they mean with your entire table… and possibly the table next to you. These things are massive. Cocktails are another win. I’m loyal to the Godfather,Scotch whiskey with amaretto, and I get it up instead of on ice. Smooth, strong, and exactly what I want every time. Bottom line: whether you’re there for lunch, a date, or just some elite-level people-watching, Baldamar delivers.“

“Been here twice now. Both times the food was delicious. The Mac and cheese is outstanding. I got it as it is on the menu with lobster on our first visit and on our second, my wife asked them to make it with no seafood but with grilled chicken instead. They were happy to do so and it was still amazing. Tried a different app and dessert each time as well and they were all tasty. Our server informed us a fall menu was just around the corner and I will be there for it! Hope this young restaurant stays around a long time.“

“Red Cow St Paul is exceptional. Great service every time. The food is always fresh and well made. It can get a little noisy during the busiest times but nothing that will distract you from having a conversation with your table-mates. I love it at Red Cow St Paul!“

“Love the atmosphere and food, and we love sitting in Lauren S’s section. Always happy and helpful!!“

“Best restaurant in St Paul, food is amazing and service was outstanding. Can't wait to go back.“

“If anyone would like a good restaurant to eat at I would suggest going to the North Pole restaurant in Newport Minnesota. The staff are nice and when you ask them for something they will get it for you right away.“

“Great music in an old school club.“

“This is a fun sports bar if you're looking for that fun atmosphere. I'm Celiac and I was happy to eat some onion rings as it's been probably 10 years for me. They are knowledgeable and it was nice to have some fun junk food options.“

“We attended Teddy swims concert. Stayed at the holiday inn. Wild Bills was fantastic. The bartenders were absolutely amazing. We are restaurant bar owners. I give them all a 10. So fun. So friendly and excellent service. We will be back.!! Thank you so much, Jodi and Scott“

“Not only do they have amazing food they have the best staff and customer service team! There was a mix up with my order not being delivered and to say they went above and beyond to make it right is an understatement. All around wonderful!“

“My husband and I were there for lunch today. The cooks were great and the Tuscan Flatbread and bacon cheeseburger sliders (Hubby) were so good. We had a nice conversation with I believe he was the manager and the server were so awesome. I will be sure to visit again soon.“

“You guys Rock... in every way!!! 💖 👍“

“Great Happy Hour! Food is always good.“

“Play says a really cool vibe especially back in the speakeasy area. Just walk through the Coke machine door. Not a lot of food choices in the speakeasy but the out front restaurant has a much more robust menu. Order the drink called the devil made me do it 😈“

“Delicious appetizers huge portions . Drinks are good aswell !“

“One of the nicest kept golf courses in the Twin Cites.“

“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!“

“You wouldn't expect good prices at the Whole Foods cafe, but you'd be wrong. This grill is very family friendly and has great daily deals. You can also bring in food from the grocery store, which is great for kids. A great way to justify a drink after grocery shopping, too, maybe you and your partner will start fighting over who GETS TO go to the grocery store.“

“I’m not a young man, I’m sure I’ve eaten more than 40,000 hamburgers. The hamburger I had tonight might have been the best I ever ate. I asked for ketchup, but shouldn’t have. The eight ounce burger was perfectly cooked and deliciously dressed. It was nestled in a just right bun and paired with a delicious side of vegetables.

We enjoyed great appetizers, entrees and deserts and service, including management, was attentive and helpful. Beverage choices seemed excellent. Lighting seemed just right.

The Miracle On Ice legend is part this historic building. There is a large, inviting fireplace in the dining area, that can only add to the ambiance as Minnesota winter closes in.

I will be back“

“Not only do they have amazing food they have the best staff and customer service team! There was a mix up with my order not being delivered and to say they went above and beyond to make it right is an understatement. All around wonderful!“

“Would give 100 starts if I could! We had breakfast here- the food was delicious. The service was amazing and everyone was very friendly. Safe to say we will be regulars here from now on. If you’re looking for a fun place with good food and good service look no further! Thanks yall!“

“Amazing place. A go to for my wife and I. We absolutely love D-Spot!“

“Great food. Served hot which is nice“

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

“Lots of good vegan options (except poke bowl, kinda plain to me). Stir fry (the added vegan chicken was really good except once), caprese flatbread, truffle Parm fries, impossible burger, big salad, sushi. Separate vegan menu. I can't think of the name of the bog salad- but on the regular menu it says it is a honey citrus vinegarette, and the vegan menu says citrus vinegarette, even though there is still honey in it. Updated from previous review on 2026-09-28“

“Absolutely the worst service. This is affiliated with University Club of Saint Paul notoriously known for terrible service. No attention to detail. We were served the wrong food. The service was significantly delayed and the food was mediocre at best. Don’t spend your money here until they fix this problem.“

“when we called in and ask about pizza special. They didnt tell both of them. I would have ordered the other special. Then it wasnt ready on time. The topper was I had to break a 20.00 for .3 cents. I know I am only one customer. I came in there at least once a week. Because of the .3 cents not because of the other two problems. I will not be back.“

“the blackened fish tacos and broccoli was superb, delicious and absolutely to come eat more!! the raspberry chocolate bar dessert make you wanna shout !!!“

“In Fargo, service is not great. i had one bite of my meal and told waiter he could take it. He never asked why, if anything was wrong, just grabbed it and walked away. I wasn't expecting anything other than for him to know why my meal was not hardly touched. He never came back to table until he brought us the bill.“

“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.“

“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.“
