Mancini’s Char House

The best lobster!! Everything we ordered was delicious! Steak, lobster, salad, baked potato, shrimp cocktail! The service was very good.

Absolutely my go to steak house, or place to go for a classy night out. I go here every year with my wife for the anniversary because I can expect it to be a perfect night out every time. If you need a place for either a relaxed dinner, or a place for a classier event, look no further.

From the moment we walked into this axe it was warm and welcoming friendly folks kinda loud but if you can handle the noise it's definitely a place you would want to check out bring the family friends and kids on down for dinner and music guaranteed to be a great time the food was absolutely amazing definitely would recommend to anyone and will be returning

This has been our family's favorite restaurant since I was a little girl, many birthdays and anniversary parties here and my highschool reunion. The food is so delicious! The staff is very kind and informative of what you may have about any item on the menu. Great memories here! Will be back again, Thanks to the Mancini's Family!!

I had the great fortune of attending the 2024 Mancini's Sports HOF banquet last night. A fantastic event! Joe, Billy, and Jake Mauer all went in for baseball, Brad and Bart Buetow for hockey and football, respectively to mention a few. Tony Olivia was in attendance. Another great night in, and for, St. Paul! Thank you Pat, Johnny, Ray, and Charley!

Mancini’s is a great spot for a special occasion dinner. They are also very accommodating for groups. We had a surprise birthday dinner for my mother-in-law here over the summer and it was wonderful. The service was great and everyone enjoyed the food. We recently went again for a small birthday dinner for my husband and we had good service again. The food is delicious! The marinated pickles and peppers they serve are so tasty. They also bring out grilled garlic bread, which is usually fantastic, but was a bit too salty this time. We did mention that to the server and she said that they were using a new garlic salt and others had complained it was too salty as well. Hopefully they will make the switch back to the garlic salt they were previously using. The side salads that come with dinner are pretty basic, but it’s nice that they’re included with the price of your entree. They gave us lots of butter and sour cream for our potatoes and our steaks were all cooked perfectly!

Wonderful place old school vibes, get there early like when they open it fills up fast. The steak and lobster were out of this world cooked to perfection. The waitress was fantastic. We sat all the way in the back, and it's very comfortable and just had a wonderful time. For me, the price was spot on. You get what you pay for! Love this place.

Attended a rehearsal dinner in a large room here with my whole family including multiple children 7 and under. The staff were incredible accommodating requests and helping when one of my children spilled their water.

The food was very good for the basic options to be expected.

The Peroni on tap was very cold and refreshing.

The whole experience was welcoming, almost like having dinner at a family members house.

First visit tonight. Pretty good experience, seemed a little short staffed for servers but who isn’t these days. The value is top notch for the quality of food and portions. Some might disagree, but I love the sort of no frills menu. The narrow selection means you’re getting fresher food prepared consistently. Thick steaks, actually cooked to your preference which is rare (no pun intended) given the price point. And tasty complementary starters. Truly a place stuck in time, and I mean that in the best way possible. Simple food cooked well, and prepared and owned by people who clearly care about what they do. Bring your family, bring your friends, and bask in the Midwest vibes and the knowledge that you can order a brandy Alexander and not have to explain what that is.

I had a great experience here. First off, the place looks like a cruise ship lounge. Hasn’t been touched in decades. This adds to the charm. I sat at the bar and had dinner. I ordered the fillet, medium rare. Complementary bread and pickles/tomatoes/peppers were served. at first bite I have to admit that I didn’t love the overly charred flavor. I added some butter to the steak and it came to wife! It was cooked perfectly. I had an accompaniment of baked potato with butter and sour cream. There was also a pre-dinner salad, which was pretty basic iceberg and two cherry tomatoes with French dressing.

Check it out, MSP!

Mancini's Char House is fantastic!! It's completely old-school supper club in the best possible way!! The servers are extremely friendly and helpful, the food portions were a nice size and delicious and the prices were very reasonable, with salad and a side for the steak/entree included. Also included is a their wonderful garlic toast and lovely relish tray containing marinated tomatoes, peppers and pickles. Pat, one of the owners, stopped by our table to see how our dinners were and to make sure that we were satisfied with everything. Hospitality at it's finest!

It was a group of six of us that went on a Saturday around 4:45 pm without a reservation and a plan to eat in the bar area. We were able to get a booth without a wait. The booths are on multiple levels overlooking the bar and make for an intimate dining experience. After sticking out head in the main dining area, we all agreed that eating in the bar was preferred. It has that classic char house feel which was only occasionally broken by the calls over the paging system. This place is a local institution. We will be back again someday.

A true classic and staple. Even the basic steak sandwich is great. Get a basket of bread and some Mancini's levee while you're at it.

We walked in with no reservation, on a whim, the night before our wedding anniversary. Even though the parking lot looked packed, they found us a romantic and rad red booth right away. We mentioned our anniversary in passing to the seating host, never said anything to our server. After a delicious and well-prepared steak dinner and all the old-school supper club fixings, our server carried out a cute little cake with two candles leaning into each other to burn as one. Awwwww. The server was awesome, by the way, consistently bringing us things before we even knew to ask. This was a really great night for us, with a lot of special little touches and a good dose of hospitality. We will certainly be back!

Excellent old time 76 plus years steak char house outstanding garlic toast with a touch of char
Steak done to perfection! Excellent staff sn
And ambience is so unique it is hard to describe
A one of a kind! Memorable dining!

Legendary! But please do no go to Mancini's if you have a man-bun or those earrings that stretch out your earlobes. Also stay far away if you are in the Trump cult. Thank you.

Great food, great experience. They provided a cute birthday experience for a 14-year-old.

Never was there before. Everything was super-great!! Sorry, it was for my sister-in-law's Celebration of Life event. But service was excellent. Bartender was wonderful. She had a great personality!!

It used to be the local family get together for birthdays and holidays. Became a favorite buddy’s evening get together for a great meal and drinks. We especially like the relish tray and garlic toasted bread. Friend drives from St. Louis Park because it’s one of his favorites. My wife and I enjoy the food and ambiance. Easy drive from home (Woodbury) although we have at least 2 great Italian restaurants. Mancini’s is a nice change of pace if you’re wondering “where should we go tonight for a good dinner”. Prices are good too…also a plus. LOTS of parking. I think I just convinced myself for dinner tonight.

Had our bowling banquet tonight. It couldn't have been better. Food and the servers,Holly and Molly were top notch with great personalities. John and Trisha were great to work with very professional. I'm sure we will go back next year.
