Things to do in South Saint Paul
1. Old World Pizza

Reviewed By KCS34 - Winnipeg, Canada
We ordered Old World Pizza for take out and were not disappointed.
Luxurious amounts of toppings and cheese, great sauce and delicious crust.
This is not one of those modern thin crust styles of pizza, rather there a plentiful toppings and flavor. Make sure you have lots of napkins as you will get messy. The restaurant is large and a little dated, but the pizza more than makes up for any shortcomings in decor.

TNT galley is great for brunch/lunch - they have a variety of breakfast entrees/lunch/and dinner entrees. TNT galley only opens until 2:30pm, I think. But their food is so good and the portions are HUGE. Try their pancakes. Huge pancakes. Head into this tiny and friendly restaurant. We love it here.

I have been going to Black Sheep Coffee Cafe continually since it opened several years ago. Usually places get stale but Black Sheep keeps it fresh. Their coffee selection is amazing and their home-baked goods are delicious. The staff is friendly and take the time to get to know their customers. The rotating art is a nice touch. There is a Bluegrass Jam most Saturday morning (good or bad depending on how you feel about bluegrass).
4. Beirut Restaurant & Deli
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 74 reviews
Reviewed By Seniordad - Saint Paul, Minnesota
This restaurant deserves to be much better known. It's located just south of St Paul on a very busy street (Robert) that generally is home to a vast array of chain restaurants.
Beirut is an outstanding exception. We have been there many times. Food is terrific, modestly priced. Service is outstanding.
I love that this is a family owned restaurant. And it is easy to recommend for the service, food, wine and atmosphere.
5. Ronnally’s Pizza

4.5 based on 131 reviews
Reviewed By MarkA1206 - Saint Paul, Minnesota
We've been using TripAdvisor on our travels for a number of years now and my family of 4 has never been steered wrong by a review, until now. We had dinner at Ronnally's this past weekend, and we were collectively unimpressed and left to wonder how on earth this place earnedrved its #1 ranking for all restaurants in Woodbury, MN. Everything about the food was plainly average, or worse. The mushrooms on the pizza were out of a can. The green peppers and onions on the pizza were from packages, not cleaned and sliced/chopped in the kitchen, just like you'd get from Papa Murphy's or any other pizza chain. One of three side salads ordered had a really nasty piece of slimy spoiled lettuce in it, not something you'd ever see in an elite (#1 rated) restaurant. In addition, the place was tiny and the seating was cramped. We could easily have reached over and helped ourselves to the pizza on a neighbor's table. I just don't get the #1 rating. We've had much better pizza at Punch Pizza in Woodbury, and when it comes to family run Italian/Pizza places, Donatelli's in White Bear Lake puts Ronnally's to shame. Don't get me wrong, the food/experience at Ronnally's wasn't terrible, but there's no way this place deserves the #1 rating in Woodbury. My family would rather eat at Culver's, Panda Express, Famous Dave's, Davani's, Leann Chin, The Keys, and Punch Pizza if we're looking for a meal in Woodbury. Even Arby's, Wendy's, or Pei Wei would be better than this.

A very nice family owned restaurant. For breakfast, there are many choices. A favorite is the blueberry oat pancake. One is as large as a large plate. They have all the standard choices of variations on eggs, sausage ,bacon, omelets ,French toast etc. Many salad and sandwich choices for lunch. Dinner varies from Chinese dishes to meatloaf. Excellent food, service and price . Good for families.

We had heard about the good food so we decided to try their takeout food. We ordered coney baskets and were not disappointed. The coneys were like the coneys I used to eat as a kid. Our order was ready promptly. The traffic in the cafe indicated that they did a very good noon takeout business. We will be back to try the ribs and chicken dinners.
9. B-52's fromerly Major's sports cafe

Like any restaurant, there has been some bumps in the road while they built their name and worked towards providing their customers with great tasting food.
Today, B-52's is thriving! Leadership has made changes for the better throughout the entire place, including a brand new rooftop experience (open seasonally), that was packed everyday it was open for its first year in 2017. They brought in acoustic artists for the rooftop for guests to enjoy and had tons of specials going on all summer and fall long.
The menu has had several changes throughout the last couple of years and it's current one is the strongest they've had so far. Plus, they added, for the first time, a flat top prepared burger called the Hangover and it's insanely awesome - go check it out. It's just one of their MANY burgers they're preparing for their guests and if you're feeling brave enough, check out the M.O.A.B.
This behemoth of a meal and Mother of All Burgers as it's actually called; is 2 lbs. of burger, 4 eggs, cheddar, BBQ pork, pepper jack, onion tanglers and bacon. Served on a 15" French loaf. Free T-Shirt to anyone that can take down the M.O.A.B. in one hour! What will it cost you? A cool $37 buckaroos! I tried it for their taping of Travel Channel's Food Paradise and finished half!
I've always enjoyed their wings with their own homemade sauces with all-you-can-eat on Wednesday nights. If you love bacon (who doesn't?), then head up on Tuesday nights for bingo and free bacon starting at 8pm. They're always running some kind of other great specials and they have one of the best Happy Hours, Bloody bar on weekends and something that I thoroughly enjoy about this place, their hearts!
B-52's leadership is one of the most giving organizations you will find. They firmly believe in giving back to great causes and doing what they can to make the community better and stronger. A little birdy told me they have some exciting news coming in 2018, but we have yet to see what that is.... Whatever it is, I'm sure it's going to be awesome!

I know this is Caribou Coffee country, but Starbucks is still my favorite, but I love the Caribou decorations.
