Golden Thyme Restaurant & Bar sits on Selby Avenue in Saint Paul's Summit-University neighborhood, serving Southern comfort food alongside a full bar. It's known as a Black-owned operation where the owner is often present and engaged with regulars, and the room leans warm and welcoming rather than formal.
Locals point to the Southern cooking as the draw, though some note execution can vary from dish to dish. The hospitality and atmosphere consistently draw praise. Racket named Golden Thyme one of the best new restaurants of 2025.
