I was informed yesterday 7-11-25, that I am BANNED from this bar. Several months ago there was an issue with someone from my work group, who may have skipped out on their bill. I was subsequently presented with that bar tab plus my own, I refused. Now they ganged up on me, bartender/owner, server and another female I had never seen before. They insisted I was responsible, again I refused. The owner ended up comping my tab that day. I find this whole issue to be ridiculous from the point of my being a good customer for years and spending a good deal of money, too end this way.

Read moreWe moved to Saint Paul in 2022 and we were stoked when we found McCarrons.

Lastly, Cristi is in the pulltab booth more often than not, greeting us with the best smile and baked goods that are so delicious I don’t have words. Alyssa aka Chump, is the newest fire hire. She always goes out of her way to accommodate you and offers up comical banter. Overall ten out of five stars. Oh, and don’t ever start me on the garden...
Read moreFirst time visiting this place of business. First impression is that it's much larger than it looks. Plenty of tables and a nice size bar that had many people sitting at it. Everyone seemed to know each other and the atmosphere was uplifting. We ordered a cocktail and an appetizer that was brought to our table within minutes. Onion rings were hot and tasty. Then we each ordered a fettuccine dish that again was served hot and quickly by our server Hannah. The meals were very tasty. Hannah was personable and made us feel welcome. She is a good server and allowed us to enjoy our meal without hovering over us. We will definitely...
