Best Comfort Food Restaurants in South St. Paul

Met a couple of friends in the bar area for a light dinner. Food was excellent and service was top notch. Every Hazelwood Food and Drink that I’ve visited has had great food and service. Highly recommend!

It was easy to make a reservation online. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the food was delicious. It was worth driving across town to have a pleasant breakfast with the family.

Wonderful restaurant with great service. We had a reservation for a late weekend lunch that could have been called a super early dinner. We had a great private table for a larger group of us that felt very private and perfect to celebrate on our own. Service was attentive and not too pestering and the timing of it all was just our speed. Apps were great, chicken wings and schezuan green beans were very tasty. French onion soup was perfect for a winter day and all our entrees were well received. Minute chicken, chicken sandwich (the best, with a dipping sauce), French dip, chicken pot pie, and rodeo burger were perfectly done, and must try the homemade tater tots. Everything is freshly made to order and the premium quality and preparation exceeds all expectations. Bonus star for the ambiance, it’s a lovely setting (check out the interesting ceiling above the bar) and drinks were spot on! Highly recommend for a fun lunch or casual dinner or even a low key celebration! You won’t be disappointed!

Such a cute concept! The food was really excellent. Small bites that reminded me of a “high tea” vibe but with yummy cocktails instead. Though it’s not in an actual old train car, it is impressive how they create the ambiance of one. My only criticism would be that though there was Christmas music playing, it was very quiet and we could hear every word of conversations next to us. My wife and I said we would do this again though next year if there’s another menu to experience.

Didn't realize that this is the hotel bar. However, after finding some easy on-street parking, our group welcomed a quiet place to gather and share some interesting non-overpriced food and non-stingy drinks before seeing a show at the Ordway. Service was perfect.
