Have you tried the borscht at the Russian Tea House? I can't eat beets, so I can't report on it, but their other dishes are very nice. The Russian Tea House is a very casual, mostly take-out place in the Midway area of St. Paul.

Another place to check out: Moscow On the Hill. They definitely have borscht on the menu. Me, I love the salmon blini (which is more like a crepe, but is very tasty).

Kramarczuk's has borscht, too. This is a Ukrainian/Polish deli, so it might not be the same as Russian-style borscht. When I'm here, I get the Szegedy Goulash, which has a Hungarian name but is clearly Slavic in taste.

Cecil's Deli in St. Paul makes both hot and cold borscht varieties, but I'd have to say nothing "beets" (pun intended) my Mom's!

They don't have it all the time, so call ahead, but Ecopolitan's raw borscht is excellent,
vegetarian of course, served cold. Nice interplay of garlic and lime and other stuff.
Even my Jewish mother approved.

I haven't had it, but here's an excerpt from a review of Nick and Eddies, a popular place in Loring Park.

For four bucks, there's a generous bowl of borscht, which starts with a base of beef-cheek braising liquid, beets, and cabbage, and finishes with a whirl of dill, sour cream, and a kick of smoked paprika and chili.
