Tongue in Cheek 989 Payne Avenue, Saint Paul, MN 55130

"This place has been on my list of places to go for over a year, and we finally made it! The vibe was nice and super chill. We were immediately greeted by Daniel when we walked in. We sat in the bar side and had awesome service from Daniel. He was so knowledgeable about the menu offerings and was a fantastic Mixologist! My husband ordered a Gimlet and Daniel added some razzle dazzle to add some flair and my husband LOVED IT. I had a delicious Lemon drop that was super well balanced. We had to try the pork belly buns, and they did not disappoint! The buns were like pillows, super soft and airy. The pork was super tender, and the salsa and cucumer added a nice crunch to each bite. The flavors married well with one another. My husband ordered the Omlette and added bacon. I ordered the Eggs Benedict with pork and Hollandaise sauce. Both were unctuous and delicious. The flavors all melded well together, and the gels on the plate were an added layer of flavor for my palate. We left feeling completely satisfied and plan to return soon. Wonderful food and amazing service!"

"I love a place that knows what it is and stays true to itself. Tongue in Cheek does this so well. The food is excellent - far more elevated than I expected! Restaurant has amazing art and a good vibe. It's priced right and everything was delicious. Can't wait to go back and try more of the menu! The date night special is a great way to try a variety of food."

"Had a great brunch here (4 of us). We had a reservation which I would recommend as it was fairly busy. We had the here’s Johnny and breakfast at bennies. Both were very good, great flavor and presentation, good amount of food that was very satisfying. I had a Bloody Mary which was very good and came with a full pint size pony (beer) to chase which was great. My wife also enjoyed her espresso martini (with tequila). Other items on the menu looked really good, unfortunately we didn’t get to try but we’d love to come back. I definitely recommend going here for brunch!"

"Love this restaurant! They have delicious inventive foods, amazing drinks and such a good ambiance. The pork belly is always delicious and the espresso martini is a must have. Good for a dinner date or brunch with your bestie. Absolutely recommend checking them out!"

"Our local friends brought us here to grab dinner. We were seated immediately. Our server came by soon after and filled our waters. We ordered a bit of everything. I enjoyed how whimsical all the food was taking a modern twist. Drinks were fun! Our food came fast, visually appealing and tasteful as well. We would come back."
