This place is a nice place to have a weekend brunch with a view. As I'm ordering drinks a little plane is taking off. And then when I'm eating my scrumptious walleye sandwich with their tastey dill tartar sauce a helicopter is landing. You don't hear the noise tho, unless you're outside. Obvi. The hibiscus mock tail was delish, no don't eat the black salt. The breakfast burger was also a favorite at my table. I would go back , hopefully in a helicopter next time. Only downside is our view included watching the staff going for smoke break and that staff was our server. So fresh smoke smell was a turn off. read more

Elegant, isolated, and delicious. This is located at the St Paul airport. It's pretty cool to see the helicopters land outside the window for people to come inside and eat. Also, parking is easy. We got the charcuterie board and the raspberry ale infused cheese is out if this world. The cheese isn't colored, so you'd have no idea, but the hint of raspberry sweetness is perfect. It's worth getting the whole board if even for only a few pieces of that cheese. It's subtle, but it's what I'll dream about. It's lent, which means fish. The Mahi Mahi special has a great charred sear. It was laid on top of white rice with a citrus sauce that climbed it's way through the grains. Very good! The service was very good. Especially Corinna. read more

Tables very close to each other and very noisy. Didn't know you could purchase helicopter rides on Saturdays now to the meal - not worth it at all. Elk was disappointing- over use of pepper, which made it near impossible to eat. Everyone at the table tried it and agreed YUK. The hanger steak was ok. 3 strips of steak the greens and sauce were less than appealing. The meal was NOT worth the cost! 4 people over 250 for meals alone, we have been to bars that had better meals! SERIOUSLY! Sadly, I won't be back. Service was ok with the exception of 2 missed drinks never given but charged for - we just paid up and left. read more

Biggest regret was not knowing about this sooner! Watch the planes roll in and out at this historic airport terminal - eatery. The historic decor and building provide a unique atmosphere. It is tucked down a long road near the runway, so it is natural to feel you took a wrong turn while driving in. I think that makes it a cool place to bring someone new, because it is like sharing a best kept secret. "Keep going, I will show you." The food is yum! Mushroom toast a must, and even the BLT at lunch was memorable. Look at the cute post card and airplane cookie we left with. The details make this place, but so do watching the planes! Maaan. Another place to wow your date. read more

Holman's Table - Cookie - Bars Near Me - Saint Paul, Minnesota

Service was very attentive & the outdoor seating was perfectly shaded on a Sunday afternoon for brunch. The indoor ambience looks amazing but who doesn't live dining Al fresco on a nice day. Loved the Bloody Mary board, the hot sauce was HOT so approach w/ caution! I loved it! The food was interesting but I found the brunch pizza (the one I had included chorizo, olives, arribata sauce & hard boiled eggs) sweet when I expected spicy & salty. Might have had curry on it that added the sweet taste? My BIL had the crab cake Benedict & the eggs were perfectly fine but needed salt & pepper which were not in the table and the cake cakes (while tasty) were really thin. I think we were all surprised it came on an English muffin which was too tough to eat. under My sister had the mushroom toast & liked it but said the Carmelized onion jam overpowered the mushrooms. Will definitely give them another visit. Note: They were out of French toast & one other menu item when we arrived at 1 pm on a Sunday. read more

Holman's Table gets 5+ stars for ambiance. It's located in the old Administrative/Terminal Building which dates from the 1930's. Holman Field once hosted commercial airline service. This has all moved to MSP now and Holman Field now serves extensive general aviation aircraft including corporate jets as well as the helicopters of the MN Army National Guard. So if you dine at Holman's table you have a ringside seat to watch aircraft take off and land. Who doesn't like that? The building itself is an interesting art deco design from the 1930's and there is lots of free parking and little vehicular traffic. The antithesis of the congestion and chaos at MSP. The food itself is pretty straightforward. The menu features steaks, pork chops, walleye, and pasta. Nothing exotic but quality ingredients well prepared. I would particularly recommend the mushroom toast. I had the pork chop which was served over a squash and potato mixture. The chop was large and juicy. Others in our party had the walleye, cheap cakes and soup de jour. Nothing blew us away but everything was quite good. The service was friendly and helpful. Based on the location I would highly recommend Holman's Table. read more

Some of my friends love this place so much that I feel kind of like I'm inevitably outraging someone by only giving it four stars instead of five. Heck, even I kinda love it that much! It's a really really REALLY cool place! It's at the St Paul Downtown Airport, inside the terminal building from 1939! You look out the windows and see small-aircraft traffic! Ambience doesn't get much more unique or charming in an American metropolis. My friends and I came for brunch on the weekend. The vast majority of their brunch offerings are very inventive concoctions that you won't get anywhere else. I got a crab omelette with lemon ricotta, and our table also enjoyed a mushroom toast thing, a farro salad thing, and a bruleed grapefruit. See what I mean about non-traditional menu items? Based on the brunch menu, this is a great place to take someone you want to dazzle with your cosmopolitan palette and cool sense of style. We just didn't love our food enough for a five star review. Many of you very likely will, though! And I'm going to come back for dinner very soon. My omelette didn't have very much crab meat, which was probably to ensure that the seafood flavor didn't overwhelm the taste of the lemon ricotta, which seems smart. Maybe when I have a proper dinner here I'll love it enough for an extra star, but Holman's Table DEFINITELY has enough going for it for you to give it a try. I recommend getting reservations, though. People like it here. It is a truly exciting and special place to enjoy a meal. read more

Wonderful restaurant with both indoor & outdoor seating. Excellent burgers. Salads are great too.

Amazing location for a really cool restaurant. Where else can you dine in a historic airport terminal and watch planes land and take off? Not many places. So this places gets extra points for its cool atmosphere and history. With that being said, the food is just alright. I cannot comment on their dinner menu as I have only been for brunch. I've been here twice for brunch and had mixed experiences. The first time was great, had delicious biscuits and French toast. The coffee is just okay, and the espresso drinks leave a lot to be desired. But overall it was great and made me want to come back a second time. The second time I had a bacon cheeseburger benedict, which was good, but didn't come out very hot. My family didn't seem to enjoy their dishes too much either. They ordered a special and it had a very overpowering 'rundown sauce' on it that made the whole dish taste like fish. I had a lot of hope for this place after my first visit, so maybe my bad experience was just an off morning. I'd recommend trying it for the cool location nonetheless. read more

Holman's Table - Bacon Cheeseburger Benedict - Bars Near Me - Saint Paul, Minnesota

This place is the best kept secret! We sat on the patio for dinner with our young children and they were thrilled to see all the action that night, especially the helicopters that were landing and taking off every 20 minutes! The service was a bit slow but we didn't mind. Our food was phenomenal. We started with the mushroom toast and then we both had steak-- Fuller's Farm Wagyu special and Caesar salad with steak and shrimp. Hoping to make it back soon to try out breakfast and lunch! read more

We came to Holman's Table to watch the planes, we now want to come back for the food! My foodie buddy loves watching planes take off so we decided to check out Holman's Table. While we would have preferred a lunch or dinner, brunch is the time that worked for us. We made a reservation for their patio which did have some time slots that were already sold out. We arrived a few minutes early and were seated right away. We ordered the Mushroom Toast & Eggs, Lemon Ricotta Toast and the Tostada Benedict. In a word, wow! We loved everything! The Tostada Benedict was full of flavor. A crispy tostada with grilled onions, beans, rice, blackening spice, hollandaise and cilantro with a couple of perfectly poached eggs. There was some sweetness from the grilled onions and just a hint of spice from the blackening spice. Richness from the hollandaise and freshness from the cilantro. The Mushroom Toast & Eggs offered much of the same. Sweetness from onion marmalade and savory from the roasted mushrooms. The best dish was also the most confusing. Lemon Ricotta Toast. The title leads one to believe this might be a sweet item. Quite the contrary. This was crispy toasted Tuscan flatbread, grilled smoky scallions, salty capers, roasted tomato, hard boiled eggs and sprouts. So many flavors and textures in this dish. One of the most memorable meals that we have had in a long time. We now are not so excited about lunch or dinner, we just want to come back again for brunch! read more

Laura was a great server! Friendly, knowledgeable and just the right amount of attention. So glad she recommended the Mushroom Toast appetizer which was great, the croquettes were ok but a nice kick to the sauce. I had the Seaplane salad with generous portions of ahi and shrimp, a good light choice for a meal. The 300 dollar burger got high marks at our table as well. Busier on a Wednesday night off the beaten path than I would have expected so make a reservation! read more

This is such a unique and special place for a celebration. Located in the old terminal of the St Paul Airport; Holman's table has a patio right on the runway where you can watch planes landing and taking off. If you're lucky, you can watch a plane pull right up to the restaurant patio! They also have great small plates and a variety of drinks to choose from. Absolutely recommend a stop! read more

When you arrive, you walk into a large entry/seating area. It's large and bright with accents, like old suitcases, that nod to being in an old hangar. We had reservations, so we were seated right away & had a lovely curved booth with a large window overlooking the runway. We were visiting for brunch and started with a few items to share. We had the homemade biscuits and the grapefruit brûlée. The biscuits were large with a crispy outer crust and warm soft inside. They were served with butter and jam. The grapefruit brûlée was AMAZING! It is a ruby red grapefruit, caramelized sugar, whipped cream, & berries. You crunch through the caramelized sugar to a juicy grapefruit. Add the fresh cream and it's a spoonful of perfection. For my main I had the toastada benedict. It was a very large portion with a tortilla, black beans, rice, grilled onion, roasted red pepper, purple cabbage, poached eggs, hollandaise, blackening spice, & cilantro. The eggs were cooked perfectly atop the rice and beans. It was a little spicy but it didn't overpower the dish. I added chicken to the dish and glad I did. Our server was lovely and super personable. We had a really great experience here. I want to go back for dinner. read more

Such a fun place to be in great atmosphere. The staff was so nice and inviting. The food was superb. I highly recommend the Keylime dessert, it's the best I've ever had and it's out of this world. I also love their refreshing, non-alcoholic drinks. Highly recommend if I haven't said that already. read more

Watch the planes and helicopter land and take off while you dine. The food is not disappointing at all. Make sure to order a yummy cocktail while you're there. Reservations are probably a good idea if you want to sit outdoors on the small patio. The staff are friendly and welcoming. I've been here on many occasions for work lunch, brunch with family, and dinner with friends. read more

Raise your hand if you knew St Paul had an airport? Yeah, I didn't know either. This is important to note since Holman's Table is located on the runway of the St Paul airport. The patio view alone makes this place worth visiting. Watching pilots land and take off from just a few feet away was awesome. The Sunday brunch menu includes options for both vegetarians and meat-lovers. I kept it simple with the Holman's Breakfast which includes eggs, choice of meat, hash browns, and toast. I have also been here for Restaurant Week and felt that it was one of he few bargains left in town. The options and portion sizes made it worthwhile. Because this location is off the beaten path, there is ample parking. Definitely a hidden gem in the Twin Cities area. read more

Holman's Table - View from the patio - Bars Near Me - Saint Paul, Minnesota

Yum. I've heard great things about Holman's Table, the pictures are damn lustful. I finally got here because I had an item I sold on Craigslist and needed to meet the buyer in St Paul, so of course I made a brunch excursion out of it. It was packed on a Sunday at 1pm, I'm glad I made reservations. There was a crazy thunderstorm happening too, I was surprised it was still packed. Plenty of parking though. The space is modern, chic, there were plenty of classy touches everywhere. It's what I expected for an airport for private flights. It was cool to see the runway from the restaurant. Only sad thing I found was the lack of diversity. I had a really nice corner spot while I waited for my husband. I sipped on a vanilla latte that was full of the delicious depth that you crave on a sleepy morning/afternoon. Once my husband arrived we ordered the grapefruit brûlée, mushroom toast with soft poached eggs, and the vat burger. The grapefruit brûlée was beautiful and super refreshing. I really loved the taste of this bowl, sweet, sour, a tiny bit bitter, and bright. Getting the actual grapefruit out was a complete mess, I wish they sliced the meat of the fruit out before they worked their magic on the rest of the dish. The mushroom toast was earthy and balanced. We selected poached eggs and it was the right choice to go with this dish. Actually, poached eggs is always the right choice for any dish. The vat burger, yep, I like. Not the best burger I've had in the twin cities, but it was massive, the meat was juicy, and the bun was fluffy. I'm going to have to come back for their dinner menu. read more

My wife and I enjoyed a lovely dinner Saturday night. The Seaplane Salad with Blackened Tuna and Shrimp was perfectly prepared with a spicy kick. My wife enjoyed the Oyster Mushroom dish and we shared an amazing triple chocolate mousse dessert with Oreo crust and strawberries. Our service from start to finish was excellent (thank you Elena)! Also, we appreciated the ambience and beautiful location. The music was very soft so not to be intrusive and the temperature was comfortable -- not too cold like many restaurant. read more

Such a fun place with great food! Great place for brunch, lunch or dinner! Atmosphere and service is top notch.

Pricey though very nice atmosphere. Food presentation fancy. Our group of 4 tried 4 different meals to pass around to try. Top 2 were the hanger steak and the "300 dollar burger" because of its gravy. The lamb and chicken received our low scores and would not be ordered again in the future. Key lime dessert was nice and light. Located next to St. Paul airport runway. read more

Amazing brunch!! Very busy- be prepared to wait. Make a reservation if possible! Crab cake Benedict amazing!!

Went there for brunch yesterday and I highly recommend. I shared the French toast and the brunch pizza and both were great. I never would have guessed the pizza had a cauliflower crust, it was so crisp and tasted amazing. I also had a Bloody Mary and I was solid, had a nice amount of kick without adding anything. Our server was attentive and super friendly, and the setting at the downtown airport is so cool, even though my husband thought I was playing some sort of a trick on him on the way there. It was a great dining experience and I can't wait to go back! read more

This review update is a long time coming and I feel guilty for not doing it sooner. I'm sorry Holmans!! So it turns out Holmans is in my top five maybe even top three for places to get phenomenal food. I've ordered Holmans holiday take out packages a few times since Covid. By far the best bang for your buck!! I also find my self daydreaming of eating the black and blue burger on the tarmac seating. This burger is so underrated in the Twin Cities. Yes TC has many amazing burger spots but this burger is by far in my top 2 for "quality" style burgers. I crave this burger!! The food influencers and social media bloggers need to make a date night of this place and realize what they are missing!! Also to top it off they have opened up a lounge area with music and cocktails. So to say the least... make a point in getting out to Holmans and sip on one of their quality cocktails and eat their burger!!! read more

Holman's Table is in a very unique location with the airport runway behind it. I was exited to try it based on its glowing reviews, but it fell a little flat for me. The dishes just missed their mark by a little bit but if I could give half stars, then I would say 3.5/5 for this place. The decor is adorable and very comfortable. I loved the intimate half circle booths and the seats were also cushioned and very comfortable looking. Food overall did not impress me too much. The mushroom toast was the best thing I ate there though. I would give this a try if you're already there and reading this. Other than that, the hash browns and pancake I ordered were average and my friend's egg's madame seemed a bit mediocre (egg was oddly cooked and the sauce was okay at best). Overall, I would give this place a try if you just land and are hungry but not worth the extra effort to go out of your way. read more

This spot has an old school vibe with a modern menu. While there we got to watch a military cargo plane take off and surprisingly from the inside it' was really quiet. Just an all around cool experience to be that close to a runway. The staff was all fantastic and the food was amazing. We ordered the mushroom toast and eggs, which was refreshing and a new eating experience. I really enjoyed it. However, for me the star of the table was the black and bleu burger. It was perfectly seasoned and the pecan smoked bacon was hands down the best bacon I have had on a burger. It had the perfect amount of cheese (even the cheese was amazing). Biting into the burger I could tell that the restaurant cares about the quality of their ingredients, because everything tasted fresh. I desired a breakfast burger so I added an egg and hash browns, which just made it all come together exactly how I craved. I will definitely return here for brunch and cannot wait to experience their dinner menu in a couple days! Hoping next experience I will get to see a jet plane take off. read more

My boyfriend and I made 5pm reservations (that was all that was available) on a Saturday night. We were seated promptly. The ambiance is really nice here, and I can't say enough about the comfort of the seats! Finally, a chair that won't put your bum to sleep during your meal. It took awhile to get our drinks, but it took even longer to get our appetizers. Our server apologies repeatedly, letting us know that they were working a brand new menu so the kitchen was a little backed up. We understood, but a free drink or dessert would have gone a long way to help forget the 30 min app wait. The French onion soup was delicious! Boyfriend also loved his crab cakes, but wishes he had shared them as they are a large portion. I ordered the hanger steak, medium, and he ordered the ribeye, medium rare. As you can see in the pic, my hangar came out reeeeaaallly rare, but I was starving at that point (over an hour into the meal) and just ate it. It was seasoned really well, tasted fresh, and was excellent quality; just wishing I hadn't had to cut off the cooked bits and leave the middle. The gnocchi and Brussels sprouts that came with mine were cooked perfectly as well. Boyfriends ribeye was HUGE and he also liked his mashed potato side. He ended up taking half of the steak home, though he also agreed that it was fantastic. Our server was kind and attentive, but the pace of the meal just really dragged on. We ended up leaving after 2 courses as we didn't want to find out how long a dessert would take. I hope to come back in a few months to see if they iron out some of the kinks. read more

This is a great spot for drinks! The cocktails are great and they have a good wine list. Plus it is really fun to watch the planes go by. But skip the food if you're looking at the dinner menu. It's pricey and can be better. I went with the pork ribeye and my husband got the steak special. Both of our meals were fatty. Some people love that but We are definitely not fans. The good news is that you do get a lot of food with your meal. Although we were disappointed with our dinner choices, the views and atmosphere could not be beat! We will definitely return in the future to enjoy drinks and maybe some apps on the patio. Our server was really great and attentive. Overall we did enjoy our time here. There is a parking lot available and it's easy to find a spot in read more

Quite the hidden gem, and certainly a good switch-up from the downtown scene. I almost didn't believe I was at the correct building when I pulled up.

Awesome staff to top it off. Will definitely be back. read more

We came her for Sunday brunch and were absolutely delighted! First of all, the building is very interesting ... deco design and very airy. And the patio looks out on the small aircraft coming and going. (Not as noisy as you'd expect!) We had the broiled grapefruit to share and the entrees were all delicious. And if you brunch it, get the Bloody Mary board. The Thai Basil tomato juice was perfectly spiced and the regular tomato juice mix was great too. The service was attentive and good natured. We will certainly be back! read more

Booked a surprise Birthday flight for 3. The flight was for my partner and I, along with our own personal photographer during sunset. After our flight dinner was served and it was incredible. The choices we ordered were extremely tasteful and satisfying from the appetizers, to main entrees, to dessert. Nothing was a disappointment. I'd also like to mention that the salmon I ordered was truly the most moist I've ever had. Salmon can get tricky, because it can either be undone or overcooked. So order the salmon if you're a fish lover. As we headed into dessert, our server brought out a complimentary tart with a candle, which was so sweet because she knew we were celebrating a birthday. Dinner and a Helicopter ride to remember. One of the sweetest experiences. I absolutely recommend this to everyone to come try once. At the end they give you a post card that included a coupon deal you could send to a friend or even keep to yourself, to bring you back into Holman's table, which was such a cute touch to it all. Such a spectacular place and experience in the Twin Cities. ***we came here before covid, so I am not sure what kind of precautions there are now.*** read more

Holman's table is located right next to the St. Paul airport and inside an old brick building. You might feel like you're getting lost. Just keep going. Upon entering, we were greeted and checked in. I would recommend making a reservation ahead of time because when we got there, the dining room was full already. It's a fancy hidden gem and you can watch planes flying and leaving right through the windows. I love the atmosphere! It's so fancy and great for Sunday brunch. My group came here for Brunch and it was our first time here. Our Waiter brought us water we ordered coffee. For my main entree, I ordered the Mushroom Toast. Service is fast and we received our food within 15 min. The Mushroom toast was Surprisingly good! I had my eggs sunny side up and I loved how it compliments the toast and the sweet walnut. I would order this dish again! Would recommend this place to family and friends. read more

Tucked away at St Paul's private airport. It's definitely a hidden gem and a bit of a trek out of the city to get to but the atmosphere is very nice and the more remote location provides a nice getaway from the city. The hidden gem also means its not on everyone's radar so it's a nice little kept secret kind of a secluded/private restaurant! The interior is awesome - very cozy, all leather seating on the booths and chairs. They even have cute fur pillows for guests! The views are awesome of the airport strip. Although the two visits i've been I did not get to see any planes take off. Sounds like from the restaurant staff - this doesn't happen too often. At most 5-10 times a day since it's a private airport for mostly business/corporate use. The bar and wallpaper are both really trendy and elegant at the same time. Highly recommend for a date and great for groups as they have long bench seating that can accomodate. Lots of free parking in the front lot as well. Food was great both during brunch and dinner service. Killer pasta, burgers and breakfast selections here! Highly recommend their breakfast sandwich burger, wild boar pappardelle! Their food are all amazing and presented to impressed! Fresh, clean and super fast since it's only seats about 75 guest at max capacity! read more

Unexpectedly AMAZING!! My husband surprised me to dinner at Holman's Table for my birthday. We are foodies and I can't believe this was our first time dining here. It won't be our last!! The ambiance was so peaceful. Al fresco dining on the runway, perfectly spaced tables so you didn't feel like you were in someone else's conversation and NO MUSIC!! The fact there was no music blaring while I tried to enjoy my food was wonderful!!! The food was beyond delicious and the drinks were top notch! We enjoyed the mushroom toast, $300 burger and the fried chicken. Some of the best fried chicken this southern gal has ever had!!! We started our evening with the 'Penicillin' and the 'Cayman Cooler' to toast the birthday celebration! We ended the course with the Chocolate Cremeux and the Coconut Cheesecake. Just wow!!! The best part of the entire experience was the staff at Holman's Table. Our server, Kristi with a K, was by far the loveliest server we have had in a restaurant. She made us feel like we were the only diners she was tending. Emily, the manager, made us feel the same! They were so kind and genuine. The world needs more Kristi's and Emily's!! We can't wait to go back and anytime we are hosting guests, this will be our go-to spot! Thank you, Holman's Table for making the quarantine birthday not so bland. read more

I'm not one to typically complain, but our experience at Holman's Table was extremely disappointing. My fiancé surprised me with a brunch date and outdoor reservation on the patio. It was a sunny 85 degree day, and we were seated at one of the only tables in the direct sun, when there were 6+ other tables open in the shade. We asked to move twice to a shaded table and were told no, "those were for other reservations"... no one came. Another couple came 30 minutes later, also seated in the sun and asked for a shaded table, and were moved within minutes. After asking a 3rd time, we finally were moved to an open table in the shade. I would understand if our table was the only available option and the patio was full, however there were many shaded options available. As a paying customer, it's frustrating to hear "it's impossible to move you with our reservation system" and then see exceptions made for other customers. Our server was great and understanding of the situation and the food was good. Holmans table has been on my list of new places to try, and this experience has left me not wanting to go back. read more
