The Pot o’ Gold Potato Dumplings were one of the highlights of my 2025 Minnesota State Fair experience. I ended up going back a second time to get more, and I wish I could have them in the freezer to make year round. Ordering early in the morning saved the concern of any wait on my initial visit, and returning at a busier time still didn’t have to wait to order or for the food to go out. An excellent and efficient state fair stop.

It’s an OK experience. The Reuben bites are pretty good.

2024: O’Gara’s Walking Shepherd’s Pie at this year’s Minnesota State Fair was a decent, but not outstanding, option. The idea of portable shepherd’s pie was certainly appealing, and the flaky, buttery pastry lived up to the hype. Sadly, the filling itself was a bit bland.
If you were looking for a convenient and filling snack to enjoy while exploring the fair, this was a decent choice. Just don’t expect an explosion of flavor.

Friendly, decently priced and delicious (reuben bites). Lots of seating nearby, good (and cold) beer selection.

Always have a new fun food to try. This year’s dill grilled cheese bites were great. The new Fulton Seltzer slushies are no where near as good as the White Claw ones they used to have but still alright. Fun place to stop!

The lady who served us around 7:53 PM 08/22/2024 at the end of the left cash register was very rude and disrespectful to us. She gave exceptional services to the customer before us and after us. We thought we would have that same service but instead, she decided that it was more important to talk to her coworkers about her Jean size and new tank tops she got. We waited 5 minutes for her to finish her conversation and then she decided to serve us when it was convient to her. After seeing that we were not WHITE (it’s diabolical for me to pull the race card) she gave us the cold shoulder and no customer service whatsoever. She served our alcohol drinks to us with foam filling 2-3 inches on top of the cups. After walking away with our orders, I saw that those who were WHITE was served with great attitude and their drinks were filled to the brim. I came back explained my dissatisfaction to which she explained that “drinks should have two to three inches of foam”. I explained to her “that’s not what I saw from the other customer she served before and after us”. Our drinks we under the blue line of the Treasurer Island cups that were served. The cashiers that served “others” as well filled everyone’s cup and provided exceptional services. She decided that she should not apologize and gave us an attitude and cold shoulder which made her not to talk to us after bringing it to up our concerns. She then gave us an attitude and attempted to refill our drinks with new cups. To which, she gave us wrong drinks, poured the drinks back down the tap and then gave us our drinks to which I had to double check with her. She was rude and disrespectful, and a place like O’Gara’s that disrespects people of color like us should not be here. I do not recommend coming here if an Irish restaurant has racist individual’s who choose which colors deserves the best service. Especially with the attitude she proceed to provide us with knowingling she was in the wrong. Also, serving as a new food item, I would assume that they would like to make connection with new customers. With the food not being up to par and customer service, I advise those of color not to come here as their cashiers appreciate those of the same color as them. 0/5 stars.

Very disappointing would be nice if they had fans inside to circulate the building so it’s not so hot and stuffy .

Food and beer ok. Service great, except… Got there early, ordered food and drink only to discover that GBLeighton wasn’t going to play as the schedule stated. He was the whole reason I came to the fair this afternoon and paid admission. Would’ve saved time and money if they’d just kept the schedule updated! ☹️

Loyal customer, it’s time to reastablish the Family name in St Paul. We were told after the renovation you were going to open a Pub with a smaller footprint on the courner. Let’s giddy-up on that. Your missing out, covid is over, time to sharpen your pencil and get it done.

So busy in the afternoon! I always wait until after a concert or the end of the night to get my serving of fried Rueben bites! They usually have live music and a good amount of seating.
