Reviews for Tongue in Cheek in St Paul, MN
We have found our new "take friends to dinner here" spot! This food was a culinary journey. And our server was so knowledgeable... and friendly, he guided us through recommendations and made us feel so welcome. We had elevated food while still feeling verycomfy. I highly recommend trying all of the 4 teaser options. They are all one bite phenomenons of flavor. The chef got veryimaginative with these flavors and will make anyone who sees food as a journey very excited! After reading reviews, weprioritized braised pork and ended up having it three different ways! As the East Fried Best (teaser), here comes Johnnie, andpork belly ramen! All of them were delicious. The use of sauce, herbs, and texture will leave you feeling like Remy inRatatouille, shooting fireworks and lightning sizzles on your taste buds. Read more
Tongue In Cheek is a staple east-side restaurant with a variety of fine-dining dishes, all unique and bursting with flavor. The... menu is filled with options for all palettes and dietary needs, including extensive vegan and NA options. The staff are alwaysvery friendly, offering excellent service to perfectly compliment the delicious food. The prices are a bit high, but that isexpected for the quality of food, and the experience is well worth it. ???? Read more
Fantastic food, wonderful service, great cocktails. The vegetarian and vegan options are out of this world. Staff is kind,... attentive, and helpful. We had a burger (very good) and vegasm for a dichotomy of dishes. The cucumber Thai salad startedthings off with fresh deliciousness. We finished with the berry dessert which was sweet, tart and light with edible flowers. Irecommend this place to those who are adventurous and looking for fantastic food. The wall art can get a bit dilettante and theneighborhood presents some urban challenges. I recommend visiting during the daylight if you don’t want to experience thenighttime ambiance the area has to offer. Parking can be tricky at times. For sure put this place on your list, nearly a 5.

Amazing restaurant! I was blown away by how flavorful every dish was. The creative “teasers” on the menu were especially fun... and festive. I really appreciated the excellent vegan options too. The Vegasm was delicious! Elegant yet cozy atmosphere. Highlyrecommended! Read more
I've been here twice now after a friend suggested it. Once for brunch and another time for a late lunch. Both orders were to go.... After the drive back home the food was still warm and tasted AMAZING! I can only imagine how great it must taste fresh at thetable. I ordered the omelet special of the day. I also ordered the burger with fried smashed potatoes and a side of pork bellybuns. I would happily order everything again and I also can't wait to try out more of their amazing menu. The servers were greatand knowledgeable. All around great atmosphere. Highly recommend. Read more
Food and drinks were fantastic! Loved the Bloody Mary! We had a reservation for 12:15, but were able to sit 20 minutes early.... Our server was awesome, and our food was hot and quickly at our table. We loved every single bite! Read more
This place is pretty incredible. It's a hole in the wall that is underrated for the food and service they offer! While it's a... casual dining experience, the food is impeccable. These chefs know what they're doing and their menu creations are amazing!! Read more
I was in a group of 6 so we tried all the apps and a lot of the mains. So I really got a great sample of the menu. All was... great! The pork belly buns were to die for. And the fish was perfect. I for sure will go back. Read more
