Went here last St. Patrick’s day to celebrate and I recommend that everyone comes here for this year. The owner shows that he cares and gives his personal care to customers as soon as they walk in, and looks to build a personal relationship with everyone. The owners emphatic personality was ALMOST as good as the food that I ate. I came here twice afterward to try different menu items, and continued to find myself more satisfied than the last time as I kept trying more and more items. They had live music and an Irish parade inside the restaraunt over st Patrick’s day and the atmosphere was second to none. There truly is not a better restaraunt in West St Paul in comparison with the food, incredible owner, and welcoming atmosphere and environment. You MUST come here

We’ve been here on several occasions. Always very good! The AYCE crab is so good. Nice quality snow crab legs. Service is always on point. We’ve also tried their nachos which are fantastic, unique because they use fried flour tortilla chips made in-house. The voodoo shrimp & cheese curds are also both a must try. My son loved his burger, especially the bbq sauce, which they make from scratch. I’ve heard the ribs are awesome, too. It’s a got a comfy, casual vibe. Overall, a nice little neighborhood bar with great food & service.

We only had happy hour drinks. No food. Martha was our server. She was genuine, cheerful and attentive without being obtrusive--definitely one of the best servers we have had in a long time. It was nice to be served by such a skilled and pleasant young lady! She is definitely a great asset to the establishment.

As a wedding photographer I have had a large variety of wedding food from plated and buffet to pizza buffet and a 5 course meal. My client recently had Jamesons cater at their wedding at the Charleston and the food was so good! So much flavor and well cooked

My experience at Jamesons Irish bar was unforgettable. Not only the food is great but the service is very welcoming aswell. I highly recommend the chicken tenders and their cheese curds. They recently added a pool table and other games which goes to show how much they care about giving their customers a good experience. I will certainly be coming back here in the future!

I have been here many times, and every time is an incredible experience. The service at this place always surprises me with how amazing it is. Hosts and waiters/waitresses are always extremely kind and check how you are doing multiple times when you are eating, and you can tell that the staff here care about your dining experience. The food here is incredible. The food comes out very fast so you are never waiting to eat your delicious food, and the food is sold at a great price. I would recommend going to this restaurant.

I stopped In last night and had a great experience! The bartender Lea was so quick and helpful! Probably one of the funniest people I’ve ever met. They had lots of different options for non-alcoholic beverages, which is a plus since most places only carry a variety of 2 or 3 things usually. I decided I would get the rasta pasta and it was delicious, I loved the sauce and they met my modification of no mushrooms. To top the night off they had some funky live music, which was a lot of fun. They also have games and a pool table so I will absolutely be back for more food, drinks, and laughs
