Tarpackers - Saint Pauls

I pick my order up every Sunday on my way to work. Very friendly! Know you by name once they first meet you. I wish they where open everyday. If you want a good at home kinda meal and filling ? This is definitely the place and you won 't be disappointed

Tarpackers is a quaint restaurant that, constructively, could use much inside renovations. This appears to be the lack of upkeep over many years. Aside from this necessity, the restaurant was clean and my meal was super delicious even though the wait was unusually long even with few people dining in. I think maybe one chef was on duty and has to accommodate several to-go orders. The chef 's preparation and presentation of our meals made the wait worthwhile. Now, I think if the kitchen mechanics are not upgraded and not restored as the dining area, surely the chef has to be dealing with insurmountable challenges TOTALLY out of their control. I plan to return especially when time and appearance is not an issue; a little bit of paint, floor and bathroom restorations will work wonders for Tarpackers. The service, the food and presentation was OUTSTANDING in an excellent way! If customer services, cleanliness and pride cooking is most desired by you as is me, this is the place to dine! Just writing about my experiences arouses my return in spite of their urgent need for a good, local handyman. SPECIAL NOTE: All of the above is on a big positive scale; the customers are worth it! Thank you!

Love the food but don't love the hours. Should be open on Saturdays.

Oh my! We heard about this restaurant and made a stop on a Sunday to the little town of Saint Paul. So glad we did! Service was exceptional and attentive. We had the Sunday dinner special which includes dessert and a drink. One of our party had the baked chicken and it was moist and deliciously seasoned. The green beans were yummy and side salad was fresh. The sautéed cabbage was DEEEEELicious! Catfish was lightly breaded and very flavorful. Also tried ???? shrimp...WOW! Worth the trip just for that! The deserts were sooo good, like your granny made them! Fudge cake to die for, Homemade cheesecake and yellow cake with vanilla icing. Woo-wheee! Tarpackers is a winner!

Not impressed with the food. Steak was thin, shrimp was bland. Salad was decent. Environment was nice, not too cold. Waitress was great. Just didn't care for the food. For the price I would've expected much better. Won't be going back.
