There is extra seating upstairs. Don't miss the dessert shop with delicious Gelato, cannolis, cookies and more. There is also a deli onsite.“

“@punchpizza is one of my go to comfort foods. For the good times and the tough times, grabbing a pizza from Punch always does the trick.

Obviously folks know about this place but I still want to highlight them because longtime fan. Fun fact, each location has hidden cat figurines in their restaurants. Generally in the ceilings. My stop tonight was at my local St. Paul location. They have a whopping 12 locations in MN all listed in one of the last photos.

My go to order that won my heart:
Toto (no crushed red pepper, add roasted red pepper)
side of olive oil

Honorable mentions
Punch Salad
Bruni (meat and onion featured in post)
Gorgonzola Salad

When in doubt of what to get, go to Punch. For more awesome food spots check out the account mallorymademetryitmn on Instagram!“

“It’s one of my favorite fast, healthy places to eat!“

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

“One of the best pizza places around! They always have great food. My sister and I went on a Friday evening, which we knew would be busy. We arrived at our designated time only to find out that they were behind on orders. The first thing I noticed was how hard your employees were working. They looked so overwhelmed and stressed out, but we’re still able to give us great customer service. I saw the order receipts flowing in by the bunches to the point they had to put them in a huge pile on the countertop. Please limit how many people can order per time slot online. Your employees are working so hard for indoor dining as it is.“

“BEST FOOD IN THE AREA!!!!“

“My daughter and son in law visited Sunday, May 25th, 2025. Everything, with the exception of salad and Tour of Italy was awful. I had Create Pasta with Mushroom Sauce. Terrible watery, no flavor. Daughter had Zupa Toscan which was tasteless and watery. Her entree was Chicken Margarita flavorless with many green peppers on top. Such a disappointment for a reputed good eatery.“

“My family and I dined in for the first time and there is nothing to complain about... Hot Dagos, wings, and pizza are all excellent. We will definitely be back for more delicious food! 👌“

“HEADS UP VEGETARIANS!!! If you order a plain cheese pizza with wild rice on it, or a "hog in the bog with no sausage", the wild rice still has sausage mixed in. I have no idea why. It's not indicated as such on the website and several employees *do not know* that the wild rice comes with sausage mixed in and cannot be included separately as vegetarian. This is my one and only complaint and it breaks my heart because everything else is awesome but this lack of communication around seemingly vegetarian-safe ingredients is quite frankly a health risk.“

“It's been a long time since I've had pizza this good. I highly recommend the Eastside Pizza.“

“Party of 12 had a blast and the fettuccine was not bland at all! The sirloin steak was fabulous! The Strawberry Margarita was perfectly made. Chicken was not soggy. The minestrone soup was excellent and the salad was perfect. Pleasantly surprised with this Olive Garden visit. Servers were so attentive.“

“The Bulldog has the best food and drinks, and Melissa is the best server in town.“

“GF's fam loves punch pizza and cant lie its very good. Always get the Toto. The food is great and so is the atmosphere.

Service can improve a bit :), feels like its hit or miss for the front desk staff to be rude or not.“

“Brinley put her soul into an avocado piada. I came a little late to pick up my order and was expecting a cooler more soggy piada but I was left speechless tonight. The wrap, chicken, and vegetables were crisp, the sauces perfectly placed with great proportions and the warmth still resonating. She deserves a raise.“

“Best lunch I’ve had in a long time. Great selection of soups, salads, and sandwiches.“

“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!“

“I visited Naf Naf - Eagan on 5/5 at approximately 5:30pm and the two gentlemen that helped me were incredibly attentive, helpful, and kind. I have utilized Naf Naf for large catering services but the service I received today encourages me to visit in person more often! Truly the best service experience I've had in a while, thank you to you two!! Gracias por todo“

“Family stopped here on the way to a hockey game in the cities. We experienced some of the best service you could expect from the team on staff. Henry was amazing and quick with our order while we were in drive-thru. Josh W. was very professional, made great small talk, wished us luck at the hockey game and was very quick with changing out our drink order. The team was great and went above and beyond our expectations for a late lunch. Highly recommend this Chick-Fil-a to anyone going through Woodbury, MN. Great workers and customer oriented, we would go back anytime.“

“Mice and fruit flies at this location. My soda had a fruit fly in it. Mouse ran across the floor. Staff and manager laughed. One stated their are everywhere in the building. The mouse ran off and this was ok. NEVER EAT HERE AND CLOSE THIS LOCATION“

“The sandwiches were great and me and wife enjoyed the food. will go back :)“

“🍅🥑🥬🥒🌶🌽🧅🍭Can't wait to try a smoothie.“

“Food is consistently good, but soup is never hot enough. Salads & sandwiches tasty. Always very chilly in the restaurant - thinking of the employees, I guess. Crowded at lunch time & gets very noisy with nothing on walls to buffer sound, making talking challenging.“

“the food is always good and the staff are always nice. the restaurant was clean and friendly. always love eating there“

“Have been coming here for years and the quality of food and service has remained amazing. Even when the store is busy the staff always makes sure you are taken care of. Shoutout to Lena, The man in the orange shirt and the girl with the red hair for always having a great attitude.“

“Had noodles many times, but tonight we really noticed the quality of service. A young girl, high school aged, took our order and was extremely helpful and engaged with our kids. Awesome start. Then the nicest guy from the kitchen brought out our food. Very kind, polite, helpful. Rare these days.“

“I actually really like chick fil a for their breakfast chicken biscuit with egg and cheese, it's very tasty and the biscuit itself is delicious, however I went thru the drive thru and ordered 2 chicken breakfast biscuits with egg and cheese, so imagine my surprise when I got home and handed my daughter a biscuit and neither biscuit had chicken, which of course I paid for. I did call the store and was told she would put 2 free chicken breakfast biscuits on the app for me, which either never happened or I don't know how to find them. No one has time to sit and open each item to be sure you've received everything you've paid for, but I guess if I want that delicious breakfast chicken biscuit with fluffy egg and cheese, it's what I'll have to do. Stay alert!“

“Child friendly. Relatively new ownership. Very few promotions and cow days offered so far.“

“Excellent customer service, me & my husband will be back! Great sandwhich & soups!!“

“just make sure your soup is hot and not like it just came out of the can. :(“

“This is my go to location in the city of Saint Paul. Every time I come here, I am treated kindly. The service is nice. The food is amazing and it always feels clean and nice inside. The last two times I’ve recently came here. I noticed a new team member. Her name is Sarah she is outstanding and has great customer service! Thank you for always doing a good job here.“
