Barbecue 6pc Wings
Davon G.

I recently checked out Cherry Pit on the east side of St. Paul after hearing rave reviews about their wings. I stopped by on a Saturday evening and was pleasantly surprised to find a fun atmosphere with Vikings staff hosting raffles and giveaways--it definitely added to the vibe. I came primarily for the food, though, and ordered the walleye sandwich, six-piece wings, and a Caesar salad. The walleye sandwich was flavorful and easily my favorite part of the meal. The Caesar salad was decent, but the wings didn't live up to the hype for me. They came out extremely burnt, to the point where I had to ask the bartender to have them redone. She mentioned I should request 'less done' wings next time, which I found odd since I didn't think they'd come fried hard by default. The customer service was decent, though I didn't appreciate being pressured to close out my bill before finishing my meal--it felt rushed, especially if I'd wanted to address any issues with the food. On the pricier side for what I got, but the overall atmosphere was decent, with a laid-back, hole-in-the-wall bar vibe. Parking-wise, they do have a small free lot, though it can fill up quickly depending on how busy they are. All in all, while I appreciated the walleye and the lively environment, I probably wouldn't return specifically for the wings.

Club sandwich and waffle fries
Hnou V.

Food is good. There's sandwiches, burgers, and salads to choose from. We love the club sandwich and burgers. Go for the waffle fry upgrade with sour cream. Service can be a bit slow around here. It's usually pretty busy here too especially on game days. They do have great drink specials on game day.

the menu on the table

Definitely a neighborhood spot. Came here on a Saturday night. Drinks were affordable and I thoroughly enjoyed my wings. Come here for the good music and food but don't expect five star service.

Buffalo wrap w/ Crispy Chicken
Déjà J.

My sister ran across an Instagram post for The Cherry Pit and wanted to check it out. We decided to go during lunch on a Friday. The did offer a few lunch special options for $6.50, which is a great price. I did not order off the lunch menu and ended up trying a Buffalo wrap with crispy chicken and fries and my sister ordered a plan ole hamburger with nothing on it. lol. My buffalo wrap was good, sauced well and filling. My sister said her burger was really good & seasoned good. I'd usually start my weekend with a nice drink (which they seemed to have decently price/cheap drinks) but I decided against it-- this one time. The bartender was also our waitress, she was very nice and checked on us several times to make sure we had everything we needed while we were there. She was great! They have a parking lot which is nice, because parking in this area can be a pain. I would go back to try more things on the menu.

The patio area

The food was AMAZING! My burger was SUPER fresh and came with wings on it!!! My husband's walleye burger was delish. Our waitress Diana was super personable, gave out great recommendations and answered all of our questions. She deserves some free food! The meat comes fresh from Big Steer Meats across the street from them. They also have meat raffles on Fridays for the meat from there. The decor was done up with great Halloween decorations and the bathrooms were nice and clean. The patio area was well lit. Highly recommend if you want to try somewhere new!

Burgers
Priya Z.

Sunday fun day with lil yang was at the Cherry Pit today. Lil yang for the Sweet Barbecue Burger with toys. I got the Bacon Double Cheese Burger with fries. The sweet barbecue burger comes with a cherry pit secret sauce. Which seemed to be a sriracha mayo, not bad. I like sriracha mayo so that was nice. Lil yang said her burger was good but nothing fancy or overly special about it. I liked the Bacon cheese burger but I would have to agree it wasn't anything special. I normally really like fries but the fries were too salty and that is crazy if I say t because I usually add salt to my food. But definitely didn't here. It was a nice place, lots of Tvs and they play music. They have a nice outside patio. I'd probably come here again. Overall seems like a nice hang out spot. Just wish I had more friends to make myself a regular. Haha

Over charged for margaritas
De'Janell J.

I can't listen to music of my choice on the juke box being over charged for margaritas that's average 10 dollars for 15 with mostly ice, lemonade and sprite not worth 15 at all nor a tip and to mention every female worler is rude with a disgusting tone and attitude I DO NOT RECOMMEND ‼

Chicken wonton tacos app. A must have
Danielle R.

It you stay away from Fridays apparently you're safer according to other yelp reviews. The location is less than ideal for parking but the food is pretty darn good. Had the chicken wonton tacos. They are their best seller and there's a reason why. It's a must order. The curd burger and aussie burger are equally amazing. The meat tasted fresh and is apparently bought from the local meat marker. The fries were unfortunately completely soaked through with grease and inedible. The menu says crispy, they definitely are far from that. The place was pretty packed for a weeknight but it's meat raffle Tuesday apparently. The waitress was friendly and comped $4 for the app since it came out significantly later than our meals. Our bill was also incorrect with other patrons drinks on it totalling $17 extra. Beers were forgotten about on 2/4 orders. Not a good average. Worth a try for a mean burger and apps.

Food was great, drinks were okay.. don't sell Cognac. Bartender Kimmy needs to treat customers a lil better and take her time.

I came in to enjoy some live music with a couple of amazing local bands, and I am absolutely sold. Highlights include: tons of street parking nearby, superior selection of drinks (more on this later), and awesome people. Everyone, from the folks behind the bar to the other patrons, was ultra welcoming. I'm pretty sure this is the neighborhood Cheers. Seriously--amazing vibes, and it's great for solo people. (I realize that might be ambiguous, so what I mean by "great for solo people" is that you won't feel uncomfortable coming here alone. It's easy to chat with people if you want to; it's easy to just enjoy the music if you want to.) Okay, I know you want to hear about the drinks. They have a great selection of beer on tap. They have tons of cocktails, including a selection of barrel-finished cocktails. Not drinking tonight? They have plenty of THC and even a CBD-only option (winning!), along with some non-altering choices that include switchel(!). There's a huge outdoor patio with fire pits that I will probably check out next time. Anyway, this is a great spot!

The inside of the bar is pretty small and felt a bit cramped, especially with how busy it was on a Sunday. They do have a back patio that is fairly large, which I appreciated, but during the day it did not feel very inviting. Without lighting or much going on, it came off a bit plain. As for drinks, I tried a non alcoholic half and half with lemonade and iced tea, which I actually really liked. I also had a mojito style cocktail that was not my favorite and tasted a bit too strong for me. The overall vibe just was not really my thing, but I could see it being more fun at night or with a bigger group.

We got there at 4 PM and had about a 20 minute wait, which wasn't bad at all. When we left, I swear there were more people waiting outside than there were seated inside the restaurant. The process of getting our table was great (they definitely know what their doing) and our server was amazing, but if you're planning to go on a Friday night during fish fry season, be prepared for a wait. It was $20 for all-you-can-eat fish, but the portion sizes were pretty big to begin with, so we didn't order any extras. For sides, you could choose between fries or a baked potato, and for an extra charge, you could get au gratin potatoes. The fish was good, but the crispness level was lacking on both the fish and the fries--that's why I'm giving it 3 stars. Parking is a bit chaotic. You'll probably end up parking on a side street and walking a little bit. I will say they have a gorgeous patio! It wasn't open for dinner but the tables were all out so we could sit there with our drinks while we waiting for our table which was a nice bonus on a 70 degree day. Glad we tried a new place and happy fish fry season!
