This is an OK bar the servers are all very slow ugly and ditzy. Most the guys aren't very friendly either. Only two people I would let serve me Josh and Blu Dawhg make great drinks and are friendly otherwise hire some new hot guys and chicks it is really bad here def. not a place to meet people. the food is pretty nasty they should invest in some quality food products and new TV's. I am trying to remember the servers that are really bad shannon? maybe and Tiffany and the fat a$$ bartender so beware of these people there plus the bathrooms are small and croweded and parking is awful.
- Pros: 2 - 4 -1's
- Cons: slow ugly ditzy servers/parking/food

The food here is NOT GOOD AT ALL. I go here every now and then for their deals on drinks (2-4-1's) is always a bargin but jeeze could they get any worse food. I swear every time I have ordered food here it comes closer and closer to pig slop. For the prices they charge you would think the food could be better quality. The food is only good IF you have to sober up--because it makes you baarf! As far as the staff goes there a only a few guys (who arn't that bad looking) but some of the servers and females could use a upgrade in attitude (and looks!) Only come here if you want to watch desperate ladies hunt for men, laugh, and get really drunk doing it!
- Pros: 2-4-1's, fast bartenders, music (sometimes)
- Cons: FOOD, BATHROOMS (never any towels)
HOCKEY HEAVEN

This place is awsome. I brought my kids in durring the afternoon after an open skate at the X. Who do we see? Jacques Lamaire, Mario Tremblay, and Mike Ramsey all sitting at a table with Tom Reid himself. They were really nice and my kids got autographs from all of them. Tom really knows how to make people feel welcome. They have the coolest hockey stuff on the walls. The server was great and so was the food. I will be going there whenever I am in Saint Paul.
- Pros: GOOD FOR KIDS
- Cons: I can't think of any.

BEST LUNCH IN SAINT PAUL

I was not a fan of this place years ago. Food was crappy and everything seemed overpriced. A friend dragged me in for lunch two weeks ago and dang!... this place has gotten soo much better. You can tell that something has changed because when I went in, about 1:00 in the afternoon, it was busy. The service was good, and so was the soup and salad bar. the soups were actually awsome. I haven't been in at night, but I hear that they are open until 2:00am every day and have really good specials.
- Pros: salad bar, specials, hours of operation
- Cons: close to the xcel center so sometimes too busy

Overprice, bad service and bad food. Don't waste your time going when there is a bar/restaurant on every corner by the Excel. Bartenders are crabby and the servers are ditsy and slow. There is nothing special about the food there, most of the time it's been sitting there - precooked for hours so they can get it out fast. For the price go somewhere respectable... I suggest McGovern's or the Liffy.

Tom Reid's hockey memorbillia is the only reason anyone should even step foot in this place. We were less than satisified with our service by an unhappy bartender, who's name i believe was Sam. Some of the other male workers there were rude with scowls on their face and looked like they wished they were some where else. The food was below average at best. My buffalo chicken sandwhich tasted like it was not thoroughly thawed out. The over priced beer and drink selection before a hockey game is not that great. If anyone is looking for a good spot to go to before any event at the XCel, I would recommend Eagle Street or Alary's. The bartender mentioned earlier, really runined our night with his attitude and service. If this is how a buisness is operated, there is something truly wrong with the service industry.
- Pros: close to the X
- Cons: Terrible service, over priced drinks, unhappy staff
Really kind of a dive

Tried it for the very first/only time for a recent Wild game... I'm struggling to come up with any positives. The old North Star memorabilia on the walls is cool--but if you're interested in eating/drinking--save yourself the disappointment of being served what is really surprisingly bad food only to take a gut shot when you get the check from the surly bartender and see what you've been paying for the drinks $$$$ to wash down your crappy $10 hamburger. They obviously only stay in business because of their location close to the X and inhale every dollar out of your wallet they can because of it--since they know if you care AT ALL about things like quality/service/value...you'll never be back. Do yourself a favor... PASS on this place.
- Pros: Neat hockey memorabilia
- Cons: Ridiculous prices on drinks/food. Way below average food. Unhappy staff.
Trip down memory lane of Minnesota Hockey Heritage

My son attended a baseball clinic in the area of the restaurant and we stopped by on a Saturday afternoon.
The service was excellent and the food was your typical sports bar menu. The many hockey items plastered all over the place take you back to Minnesotas rich heritage of hockey, alot of memorable photos of stars of the past.
We also had the pleasure to meet Tom Reid himself as he was sitting in a booth close to us and made the stop all that worth while.
I would highly recommend to anybody who has hockey fever running through veins to check this place out.
- Pros: I liked everything about the restaurant, great place for kids who like hockey
- Cons: parking as usual in St. Paul

I have been going to Reid's now for about 2 years, and wether or not it is hockey season does not matter. This establishment is a great place year round. Not only do they have wonderful specials on drinks and food, but the atmosphere and staff are great and friendly. It is a place "Where everybody knows your name". The ghosts of Hockey past seem to come out of every nook and cranny, and there is an electric energy that envelops the restaurant every fall and winter on game nights. The food is not to bad, I would suggest the Buffalo chicken sandwich, or the buffalo wings! as far as parking it is tough, but well worth it once inside the doors, Welcome to the State of Hockey!
- Pros: Atmosphere, Staff, drink specials, and food
- Cons: parking
