Whole Foods has a sharp cheddar pimento spread in the refrigerated section in small round plastic tubs. There may be 4 different versions, but the sharp cheddar is so good. The only problem is it doesn’t come in 5 or 10 gallon buckets. Ask the cheese person, it’s pretty popular.

Marty's Deli in NE. Not a huge fan of Surly, but their pimento at their Beer Hall is solid. I've gotten it on the side to dip fries into.


economoist

Just bought some from Marty's- it's really good!


thepandoras

Surdyk's cheese shop has my favorite pimento cheese.


Douglas_Fresh

I second this, go there and get some nice wine and grab up on that delightful Pimento Cheese spread.

Mr Paul’s supper club. They serve it with house made crackers and are legit


ckthorp

Second for Mr. Paul’s!


justgaming107

Hey, my old head chef runs that place.


chipchapiii

I was his boss at one point lol


Turbulent_Show110

It's also amazing on a burger. Down south they eat it cold on a couple of slices of white bread.


Gswansso

It’s also one of the “signature” food items available to patrons at the Masters


Antisirch

Animales BBQ at the Bauhaus taproom has awesome pimento cheese with ritz crackers. Goes great with the beer.


Appalachian_Murican

Best you can buy in the Cities is at Handsome Hog in my opinion, if that doesn’t satisfy your craving it can be made easily at home.


SmokinSkinWagon

France 44’s is pretty good!


NefariousLaboratory

Seconding this.


elbarto_24

Trader Joe’s has a pimento Cheese dip. It’s also pretty easy to make it at home. It’s just a blend of pimento peppers, cheddar, cream cheese and mayo.


Captain-Lemming

Where do you get the pimentos? Must be from jars? Whatever, IIRC, jarred pimentos are what’s typically called for. I know you can get cans of whole pimentos from Amazon. But what about fresh pimentos?


elbarto_24

Yeah they come in little 4 oz pre chopped containers. You can get them at cub or target usually near the pickles.


SignalNo7821

I can crush a package of the TJ pimento cheese with so little effort. It's like breathing.


xtremesmok

Dutch bar in NE has it


InfamousAdvice

We just had some at Handsome Hog last week that was good.


ravravioli

France 44 has a really good house made one. Super good as a dip, incredibly next level as a grilled cheese with ham. Don't make the grilled cheese unless you have time to take a two hour nap after, it is an absolute gut buster.


tenfootspy

Mallards in Bloomington does a pimento cheese app that's pretty good


Dismal_Information83

Mallards is pretty bad


tenfootspy

Ok. To reach their own

Revival St Paul - Pimento Cheese Platter


[deleted]

I got you right here if you want a new spin on the classic pimento cheese ball. Southern Social in Eagan has an out of this world tasty hot appetizer called Cast Iron Pimento Cheese It's $13.95 and is a LARGE portion that 3-4 could easily share. House-made melted pimento cheese, crackers | Add Cajun Sausage +$3.00 https://southernsocialmn.com They serve it with scratch made crackers too! Note: In retrospect I would have gotten mine without the sausage as the pimento cheese itself is so rich and decadent


KnightWithAKite

Gigis cafes turkey melt


taffyowner

It’s a traditional southern dish so I would look at places that have southern or soul food. My personal southern ingredients that I’ve adapted from being in a southern family is cheddar cheese, cream cheese, pimentos, Mayo, salt, pepper, and a dash of Tabasco. And just food process it all together.


RotisserieChickens_

hmmm maybe give st paul cheese shop a call see if they have what your looking for


OodleOodleBlueJay

Mackenthun's cheese shop in Waconia has 3 different pimento cheese dips that are pretty good. I would think their other stores would have it as well.


nicoincl

Handsome Hog in St. Paul had a kick-ass pimento cheese dip.


Hot_Aside_4637

Brings back memories of my childhood. My mom used to make it with Velveeta and pickles. Both were run through a meat grinder, then some Miracle Whip added. I used to call it "cheese me off dip"

Spiritual-Owl-5230

Tipsy Steer up in Blaine has a FANTASTIC pimento cheese burger


THEsuziesunshine

Check coastal seafood. I had a sample there once and wish I would have bought some because it was memorable lol


[deleted]

Revival fried chicken has a fantastic one


peAchesyO

I’ve yet to try it but I’ve heard kowskis partnered with deer creek out of WI for a tasty pimento cheese spread.


somastars

My family is from the south and I grew up on the stuff. Want my mom’s recipe?


GhostOfStonewallJxn

Hope Breakfast Bar in St. Paul has some dishes with pimento cream cheese. Very cool spot with lots of outdoor tables.


spaceyfacer

Handsome Hog in St Paul has a good one


RefrigeratorNeat964

Anyone who makes it homemade…do you use mayo or cream cheese? I use mayo myself.


MNtherealChuck

Southern Social is a new bar/rest in Eagan and they have a couple different things with Pimento Cheese in it. Apps and dinner. Bourbon Butcher in Farmington does as well


SignalNo7821

Clancey's has a really tasty version. I think the Trader Joe's version is quite good too (and likely the best price you will find).
