50 Best Bar & Grill near West Saint Paul

“Excellent breakfast and service“

“Our favorite local place to enjoy amazing food and amazing service! Our servers, Erica and Martiza, are literally the bomb. We try to always come when they're working!“

“Waitress was very good, three of us went there for lunch. The fries were extremely salty so we asked for new fries. Then we bit into our burgers and ask them if they could cook them longer. They said they did but came back still as red as ever. The next batch of fries weren't even cooked all the way.Yeah, there was no salt as requested. But they weren't even cooked. Then sent them back to see if they could cook them longer.I don't even think they did it.I don't even think that he put the burgers back on the grill. I really never get time off to go have lunch somewhere and this is a place I chose and it was the worst. And even worse , I asked if Brian was there , and I guess he was the cook. Extremely disappointing, and if you can't cook a burger in fries.I think you've lost your passion and should give up! Even took photos, no where to post them.
We had a couple bites of fries.Burgers still weren't cooked so we did not eat them paid for our meals. I did tip the waitress as wasn't fault!“

“Burgers unrivaled by none. Nice pours, friendly faces, staff is professional and just really cool, and the pull tabs support SPFD. Doesn’t get any better. #eastside #stpaul“

“Great service, friendly staff, fun environment ! Definitely recommend as a place to go to get a bite have a couple drinks and have fun playing pool and darts with friends and family :-)“

“The Cubano was excellent, and the waffle fries and seasoned sour cream are better than other local establishments. I had to give props to the cooks. Most bar food is mediocre, but I was so impressed with their food. We had a great Sunday afternoon here chatting with regulars and the staff. Everyone was very friendly. We will be back!“

“My friends had told me I have to try the coneys at the Gopher Bar. I’m in St. Paul like never, so I have never got to go. I tried to go in July, but they were closed. And with their limited hours, it makes it tough.

I was finally in the area on a Saturday night, and hungry. I stopped in and it was well lit with plenty of seating. Fun, friendly atmosphere with a great wait staff. Fast service for a Saturday evening after 10pm. Got the drinks quickly, got the food quickly. Great service. I might go back just for the service.

I got the deep fried ravioli as an appetizer. Kind of like pizza rolls. They were delicious. I’d get them again for sure.

I also finally got to try the coneys. While they are expensive at $4 apiece, they are delicious. Served hot with a mountain of onions and on special toasted buns specifically for these coneys, it was a great experience. The only knock on the coneys is they don’t come with mustard on them which was odd. I knew they were missing something. I added the mustard and they were great. The dogs have a great “snap” to them when you bite them as they should.

I will definitely be back. Best coney’s in the metro that I’ve found. And I’ve tried a LOT of places.

Just be warned, parking in ST. Paul can be a nightmare and the Gopher Bar only takes cash.

Thanks for the great meal!“

“The best staff and team !!“

“Wonderful Sunday breakfast brunch! Great service; delicious food!!“

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

“Oh so delicious! Best burgers and fried chicken sandwich! Ice cold Beer!“

“Just good all around place for food and drink“

“Just a few doors down from the Turf Club sits a genuine hole- in- the- wall gem. A unique dining experience of food with flavors to expand your pallet. We had the yebeg tibs and veggie sambusa and a just in case order of chicken strips and french fries, which, while delicious, remained largely untouched as the yebeg lamb tibs and veggies entree was the star of the table. A No Forks Allowed shared entree with flavors that dance in your mouth, the bread (is that what it's called?) comes rolled up and the protein sits on top like a carpet. You grab a little piece of bread and scoop it up and make a mess and laugh and eat and EAT. The sauce was a savory, smoky collection of herbs and with a Minnesota Nice kick of spice, if my 70 yo mom could handle it, you can handle it. The umami was out of this world (and helps me to finally be able to define the taste, actually) The veggie sambusa was a perfectly fried pillow of yummy veggies with a salsa for dipping and the chicken strips were fried to perfection with fluffy french fries. The server was fast, friendly, and offered suggestions and answered questions we had about the menu. This restaurant is an invitation to a cultural exhibition of flavor and best of all, our 2 entrees — both large enough to share with at least 3 people) 2 drinks, and 1 app were reasonably priced at under $50.00. If you're going to a show at the Turf Club, come early for parking and dinner at Dilla, you won't be disappointed. It is an excellent addition to University Ave, I am glad they found a home on our little stretch of road and we should welcome them with open arms and empty bellies.“

“Great people and atmosphere. Clean place, fun history, cold beer, and cool staff. We'll be back.“

“If you’re looking for a hidden gem, The Cherry Pit is the place to be. From the moment you walk in, the cozy mom-and-pop vibe makes you feel at home. The food? Hands down the best I’ve had in a while! Portions are huge, fresh, and bursting with flavor, and all at an unbeatable price. Plus, the cherry on top – they’ve got charging stations right at the table, so you can stay connected while enjoying your meal. Highly recommend this spot! Mary K. Was our server and she was fantastic – super attentive and genuinely kind. She made sure we had everything we needed without hovering, and her recommendations were spot-on. It’s rare to find such great service that matches the quality of the food, but The Cherry Pit definitely delivers on both!“

“We had yet another fantastic dining experience at The Exchange, and this visit truly exceeded all expectations! From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was vibrant and inviting, setting the perfect tone for a memorable evening. Our server, Angela, was an absolute gem, her enthusiasm for the menu and her attentive service made all the difference.

She went above and beyond, sharing her favorites and suggesting delightful pairings that enhanced our meal. Angela’s warm personality and genuine care made us feel like we were the most important guests in the restaurant.

We decided to try the Cuban sandwich, and it was nothing short of spectacular! The combination of flavors was harmonious, with perfectly grilled bread and succulent fillings that danced on our taste buds.

As we dined, the atmosphere buzzed with laughter and the clinking of glasses, adding to the excitement of the evening. Each bite of food felt like a celebration, and we savored every moment.

Overall, it was an amazing dinner that transcended our expectations, and we can’t wait to return for another culinary adventure at The Exchange!“

“Great food. Beautiful view. Awesome service“

“Welcoming, with just the right amount of lighting, TVs, ambient music and TVs. Cozy bar area. Highly recommend the chips and queso, it's way more complicated and tasty than it sounds. Plenty of street parking. You'd be dumb not to go here.“

“We had a wonderful experience at The St. Paul Grill. From the moment we arrived, the service was warm, friendly, and attentive without being overbearing; our waitress was exceptional. The food was outstanding; every dish was beautifully presented and full of flavour. The standout for me was the lobster tail, HUGE, perfectly cooked and presented — easily one of the best I’ve had anywhere. Highly recommend for anyone visiting St. Paul who appreciates great food and gracious service.“

“We got 2 french dip sandwiches with fries and they were great. Fries were fresh and crispy and horseradish and au jus was great as well. Pricey but to be expected for the airport. The restaurant is up a level so you get a great view of everything below. Alison, our server, was super lovely as well.“

P.s The owner is on site and loves to interact with the patrons of the bar.“

“Bartender is awesome . he helped us drown our sorrows after the wild loss“

“Went here with extended family as the Aquatennial parade was cancelled.

Hosted about 18 of us on 3 lanes.

Got us in and up and running smoothly.

Server did an amazing job considering our group size.

Pretzels and Philly were amazing.

Cheese curds were a little too much breading and needed some ranch - finished them before the side of ranch came 😜

Drink prices were affordable and bowling was fairly priced.

Was a fun time considering the cancellation and would go back again- if in the area.

Thank you!“
