“Received a wrong order in my bag (had correct receipt though) when I ordered from door dash. I called the store and they were more than willing to correct the problem and were polite about it despite being very busy (I could hear how much was going on in the background when I called!). I was willing to drive there to get my correct order and they took care of it right away. Kudos to the workers! Always amazing food and received great service today.“

“Great dining experience with very friendly staff. We liked everything we tried.“

“Traveled to St. Paul from Maryland for a graduation, found this hidden gem. It was a great experience, the food was phenomenal. Make sure you check this place out. Food was great, service was pretty good as well. If it's your first time there, it's a little confusing trying to figure out how to maneuver through the cafeteria. The atmosphere is also a lot of fun make sure you check out the market. Mangia mangia“

“great sandwiches served with greater community and snark!“

“@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!“

“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.“

“Food was great. Ordered 10 pizzas do grandsons birthday party and was all good.“

“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.“

“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! 👌“

“Absolutely incredible salads! I wish I could buy the salad dressing. Top notch.“

“Nikki was the best server for our lunch! She coursed our food for us without us having to ask, was friendly and funny! I cannot believe it is her first week here, she is the best server we have had in a long time! We will come back to see her!“

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

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

“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.“

“Helping others in need is 💯 in my book, keep up the good work!“

“Great food good ambiance! Awesome staff !“

“Great place to eat brings me right back to Italy!!! Was a great lunch and great service.“

“Grabbed dinner tonight and it was amazing. Buffalo ranch pizza and pepperoni pizza were a big hit.“

“I was in Woodbury and was craving Wood fire pizza and I searched up this place. I am happy to say I ate the whole pizza!

I tried #18 Quattro Formaggi. It was so cheesy with the 3 different kinds of cheese and could distinguish between all different cheeses, the crust was soft yet crispy, came with fresh ingredients straight to the oven. It was an enjoyable experience all around plus the staff was very friendly.

I decided to go eat on the patio but they do have inside seating which was busy when I got there!

The pricing isnt too unreasonable but they are going to be smaller pizzas so if you have a family you might need to order a few.

I will come back to try some different combos of pizza or build my own. They have salads and appetizers that I will try the next time I visit with friends!“

“Amazing food and awesome staff! The restaurant is always clean too!:-)“

“The food and awesome atmosphere never changes (and that's a good thing) but this most recent visit also featured the BEST customer service. From what we experienced and what we observed, every stranger is treated like a friend. It was rare and wonderful feeling!“

“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!“

“Great food, clean restaurant, and always wonderful service!“

“Feels good to be inside a CFA. Staff at other fast food seem to look depressed to see a customer walk in. CFA staff makes me feel like they are glad I walked in.“

“Management is amazing! The staff is very friendly and the salads hit the spot. So hard just to choose one. Yum yum. 🥗“

“Food was delicious
Best Burger ive had in a long time
My lady friend had the reuben, its her favorite place and I see why the food is great.

Server was quite a bit over the top loud, tables where loud and obnoxious.

Would definitely come back if it wasn't on a dinner or weekend. To see if its better.“

“I am biased because olive garden is one of my favorites. We customize the Shrimp Alfredo with angel hair pasta and the service is always happy to accommodate. The food was hot. Service was on top of everything actually checking in a few times to see if we needed anything. Always will recommend 👌“

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

“Had both kinds of scones here and loved them both (the blueberry kind a tiny bit more)! Will definitely go again!Love the homey feel and would love to go back for some coffee and reading time or catching up with a friend over pastry/ coffee/ light lunch!“

“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.“

“excelente lugar y atención“

“I had a gift card for here and decided to try it out - wish I had known about this place before because the food is delicious, super fresh and I found out that it is also all made from scratch!! As a vegetarian recently turned vegan, it's been very hard to find anywhere to eat, but this is definitely a place where I'll be frequently coming back! Resturant is bright and clean, everyone is very friendly and welcoming and Lanchi makes a fabulous Tokyo Garden bowl (the homemade teriyaki dressing is seriously delicious). Was able to connect to the free wi-fi so was able to enjoy the patio and work for a little bit (Amy even brought me out a fresh glass of water) - I will definitely be back!“

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

“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 food here is amazing! It is very high-quality and is perfect down to every last detail. I was utterly blown away after taking my first bite. I will definitely come back here and the employees were super kind. The overall environment was really friendly and comfortable, and I loved every moment of it.“

“Great food and service when I have been a Wednesday regular for dinner & music. Shannon provides great service with generous pour. And ya cannot beat the live music jam“

“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.“

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

“The manager is absolutely pleasant and recognizes me by name as a regular every time I go. ❤

Absolutely cozy and personal feeling service, with good food served well and the way I ask for it. A constantly visited location for me!“

“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.“

“Last night, I had a fantastic music experience at the Pavilion! The concert band Valley Winds performed, and it was one of the best free concerts I've ever seen. I hope they are invited back; I'll be keeping an eye on the schedule!“

“Busiest shopping day of the year and had a great experience at Portillo's! Staff was very friendly, and having fun. One lady was dancing around while she was doing her work and singing with the Christmas carols playing overhead. Chris at the pickup counter was super friendly. Guy that took our order was very helpful in making decisions on our order. Thank you Portillo's team!!“

“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.“
