ShishB

1668 Grand Ave, St Paul, MN 55105 · Mediterranean restaurant · St Paul

Crowd-pleasing Mediterranean spot with standout hummus, gyros, and generous breakfasts; good value overall but expect occasional waits, inconsistent execution, and limited management follow-through on refunds.

The verdict

Shish delivers solid neighborhood dining with strong food quality anchored by excellent hummus, gyros, and fries, plus a well-regarded breakfast menu that keeps regulars returning. However, inconsistent execution during busy periods—cold items, staggered courses, variable service speed—prevents a higher grade. The warm, bustling atmosphere and fair portions appeal to families and locals, but operational reliability gaps and modest destination appeal keep it in grade B territory rather than competing with the area's premier establishments.

One caveat: Service delays at peak times; some out-of-sync courses reported (moderate frequency)
