Reviews for Handsome Hog in St Paul, MN
If you haven't been to the Handsome Hog yet... you need to go! We've driven past so many times, saying we should try that. We'll... tonight was the night for date night! Tyler was our server and he was incredible! Great suggestions and he gave so many detailsabout the menu. Our drinks were delicious, the food arrived quickly, and well... it was delicious! Seriously, we will be backagain soon! Read more
This place was absolutely amazing! I had the brisket hash. The flavors meshed so well. It had a slight kick but just warm not... hot at all. I do wish the potatoes were cooked just a hair more. The chicken and waffles were cooked perfectly and tender. Theflavor for the breading was delicious. Staff was friendly and kept the water full. Read more
Handsome Hog has an amazing brunch menu! Everything we ordered was delicious with well balanced flavors. My friend had their... Handsome Hog Hot Brown which was absolutely fantastic! The house ham was juicy and incredibly tender, the pecan bacon had aperfect balance of pecan and bacon flavor, the mornay sauce was rich and creamy, marinated tomatoes came on the side along witha cup of mixed greens, and the Gouda and the sunny side egg crowned the open faced dish with the egg having the most perfect runI've ever seen. I had the BBQ chopped salad which was exactly what I was looking for in a salad. Of course I ordered their BaconOld Fashioned with a fancy ice cube that had a hog image in it and my friend ordered their Bloody Mary which came with a properbeer chaser which was again perfect; not too spicy, but definitely not mild. And the final drink that we ordered was a pineappledrink that was just as refreshing as it looked. Our server Amanda was excellent - we never felt rushed, overlooked, nor was sheoverly attentive. Handsome Hog is a favorite brunch spot and I can't wait until they open their patio... it's one of the best intown! Five stars for their amazingly delicious food and five stars for our server Amanda.

Second time we were turned away from the patio. Reservations needed for sure! Went for brunch. The Benedict did not disappoint.... I had the rib meat version ( little spice to that meat), my son had the crab cake version. Both are excellent. Came with a nicemixed green salad. My husband had chicken and waffles. He said the chicken was very good and crispy. Read more
Overall I would recommend Handsome Hog to just about anyone. Parking was initially hard to find, but then we spotted a lot to... the west that Handsome Hog would validate the parking. Super slick, and only a minute walk to the restaurant in below zerotemps! We were seated quickly, and the aroma of the kitchen wafted through the dining area. Our server was attentive, and wewere able to get our drink order fairly fast. After ordering food, it did take a while, but that could have been a function ofit being a Saturday night. My only main gripe was that it was so loud in the space, given the concrete floors and metalfinishes, there weren't a lot of features that absorbed the sound. It was hard to have a conversation even with only two people. Read more
Shut up and take my money, this place is INCREDIBLE!!! Cream is the name of the game when it comes to cocktails here. Purified... heaven. All of their smoked meats are incredible. Personally loved the brisket and smoked chicken. The Cucumber salad and rootsalad are delicious. Read more
Went for lunch; it wasn't crowded at all, which was cool. I ordered a biscuit, but sent it back because it was dry. The ribs... were good, nice and tender! My friend had the chicken and waffles which she said was good she just wished the waffles were alittle bigger. We had a good server as well. Overall the food was good, and we had a good experience. We will be go back to trytheir dinner service. Read more
The atmosphere and service was excellent! Our server Michael was absolutely amazing! I will come back just to be served by him... again. He had great recommendations for food options including the delectable cinnamon roll. My husband had the Hot Brown andenjoyed the meal. The meal was savory and smokey. I had the Crab Cake Benedict and that was yummy! The crab cake was full ofcrab and had minimal filler. The greens and pickled onions were a nice surprise. The only issue we had with the food was theheavy handed use of the Old Bay seasoning in the Benedict. We will come back again for lunch or dinner and will request to beseated in Michael's section!
