I love it I can eat here two, three times a week sometimes and don't necessarily have to have the same thing it's really good food mom and pop spot.. Saturday is the only day you can get tacos.. get there early they sell out fast
Do you member the old fashioned JoJo potatoes? Well they have them here!!! Delicious burgers, fresh made pizza factory pizzas, fried chicken, daily soups too! Sunday was half price wings which were cooked perfectly and plenty of sauce. Busy little corner bar with great service and prices. Bar area and dining room. Best of both worlds.
Dive vibes are impeccable. Absolutely fantastic wings, definitely competing as best in the Cities
Me and my cousin went there Friday night. I wanted chicken but my cousin wanted pizza so pizza it was. After a few shots of tequila I was starving, shortly after large pep and sausage arrives to the bar. The pizza was great, cooked to perfection. We weren't able to finish the pizza so I got a to go box to bring home to the family I eventually ate the rest of the pizza before I got home. The staff was great as if they loved there job and wanted to be there. The atmosphere was busy and peaceful.
I've come here a few times now and each time the food is on point. It's a little bar in the front, dining on the back and they have a patio. Each day they run specials but the regular menu prices are very reasonable. The pizza is a 10/10, we opted for the nachos this last time and they were also a winner 8/10, I had a Moscow Mule 10/10 and my friend had a tequila sunrise 10/10. They do have a happy hour in addition to their daily specials. Head in and check them out.
Best pizza in Saint Paul, period. And surprisingly great prices. Very casual, friendly vibe with friendly staff and good local pub atmosphere. (One side is a proper dining room and the other is a neighborhood bar, both have the same menu and drinks, there is also a patio.) The burgers are mid and the fries and are meh, I recommend going for the pizza, wings, fried chicken, or the incredible nightly specials. If you’re a cocktail person, they make nice strong drinks and have a monthly liquor special (the A-Bom). Worth mentioning: - They have a parking lot and ample street parking - Some basic vegetarian options - Family/kid-friendly, I’ve brought my toddler here for pizza (and a beer or two for me) and they have a full kids’ menu, plus kids eat free on Sundays
For value, food quality and friendliness, Skinner’s is your neighborhood go to bar. Their pizza is delicious, Ruben sandwich, BLT are all good to try. My personal favorite is the chicken box. A basket of four pieces of fried chicken. Top it with Tabasco. Season with salt and pepper to your liking. The crunch and flavor, yum…did I mention the price is right? Wednesday night’s steak dinner is great value and quality if you want a satisfying meal on a dime. The wait staff are amazing. They know my name and my regular order. I walk in and wonderful waitresses Robin, Roni, April, Britany (and sorry I forget a few other names) ask “Usual?” and I said “Yep”. Reminds me of the sitcom in the 80s, where everybody knows your name, and they’re all glad that you came (Hint: 1972-1993 see photo for the cast) If you know what I’m talking about then you’d want to check out this place for the friendly feel with food that comforts you like your hometown bar does.
Walked here while waiting for car maintenance to be completed across the street. Upon entry, I was the « only one » and yet the bar was pretty busy but the bartender (never caught her name, but she wore glasses) she greeted me and offered me seating. Being greeted while in a bit of a rush is always a great start to the service that can typically be followed. I ordered the fish sandwich (not walleye) the other. Forgot the menu item. However the fish sandwich came out fresh and hot! The ambiance is your typical small bar atmosphere but the service from the bartender was AMAZING! She was NOT my server, my server service was good too but the bartender set the tone. I will definitely return to have another fish sandwich.
