We had such a great time at Taphouse Bar & Grill in Red Wing! The food was super tasty—our steaks were cooked just right, and the veggies were full of flavor. The sandwich with chips was really good too. Everything felt fresh and made with care. We sat outside on the patio and loved the view of the train tracks—it made the whole place feel fun and different. The service was fast and friendly, and the vibe was super chill. If you’re in Red Wing, you should definitely check this place out. Good food, good people, and a great place to relax. We’ll for sure be back!

Decent pub atmosphere and food/drink. Stopped by after a long the ride on the Cannon River Valley Trail. Service was slow but was a very busy Saturday fall afternoon. First time I've ever been to a bar or restaurant with NA beer on tap! Extra stars for that!!! We were able to charge our bike batteries while we waited for orders. Very helpful! I recommend a side order of the sweet potato tots - yum!!! Very good Reuben too!

wow it was great! the only minus is the flies on the summer terrace, but I don't know if the restaurant can somehow influence this. this is my second favorite restaurant in America now. and how good that it is so close 😀 we ordered fish and fries and these are the best fries I have ever eaten. also the pieces of meat their classic it's just incredible. also the barbecue burger and these buns will remain forever in my memory. these are the most delicious buns I've ever eaten. usually restaurants put a simple classic white not tasty bun, but here it is a perfect burger bun This is my longest review, I am very satisfied. The staff was also wonderful, but we just got lucky with the waitress. The toilet is a bit beat up, but I came to the restaurant to eat, not to the toilet. We will definitely come here again. and it's also great that you can pay with a QR code

Bar and grill eats with lots of appetizers, perfect for watching your favorite game. Kid friendly and handicap friendly. Or experience wasn't the best, it took probably 45 minutes or so before a very wonderful waitress asked if we had talked with anyone yet, which we had not. She went and got our waiter and we ordered our apps drinks and lunch. We got our drinks, there were 6 of us, and that was the last time we seen our waiter until it was time for the check... The waitresses around us were all awesome and very busy. Our waiter unfortunately never cane to refill our waters or drinks. The food when it came out was great. 60/40 burgers, brisket burger, smash burger and chicken strips were all on point. Fries kinda tasted fishy so maybe an accidental mix up there. Great food non the less.

I decided to take a Corvette ride down along the Mississippi River to enjoy the weather and to get lunch. I looked for a place with outdoor seating, and a view of the river. I chose this place, and I'm glad I did! I really liked the view, the food, and the service (my waitress was very attentive). If I'm ever in the area again, I'll be stopping back.
Kevin S — Google review
Food was great. Service could have been a lot better, I think that our server was handling too many tables at a time. Regretfully nobody got a refill on their drinks, nor did I get the sauce that I requested after asking twice. I am still giving you five stars though because the food is good, and generally the atmosphere is good as well as a service but there have been a few times where the service has been a little sus. Everybody has bad days sometimes so I still tipped her over 25% on $150 so hopefully that made the rest of her day a little bit better and she was able to be in a better mood

Great spot. Was suggested to us by the marina when we docked and it did not disappoint. We had a group of 10. They got us in without issue. Place and bar was packed. We were all pleasantly surprised with the turn around on food time too! Clean plate club x10 dudes. Thanks for having us and helping our guy celebrate his birthday!

This is such and awesome informative museum. I love how there are QR codes on every display that take you to more information. They also have iPads to use for this if needed. I loved seeing the historic photos and display items. All of the examples of the Red Wing crocks were mind blowing-must see if you are in town.

Found this very interesting. I never had any Red Wing pottery growing up. Just knew about it. Neat that there’s a self-guided tour brochure offer. I didn’t know about the different colors and variety. So many sizes. Great history. Enjoyed the gift shop. I really wanted a souvenir pot, but price was $39. I’ll make that purchase when I come back. Bonus root beer barrels in a basket at the entrance. Thank you!

Red Wing Brewery is a cozy and laid-back pub known for its in-house brewed draft beer and delicious pizzas. Despite its small size, the brewery produces around six to seven barrels of beer per week, ensuring that customers enjoy the freshest brews possible. The brewery offers three historic beers year-round, paying homage to Red Wing's brewing heritage from the late 1800s and early 1900s.
Delicious Personal Pizzas . Tastes amazing. Family friendly. You want to make sure you stop here. Also a short walk to the railroad bridge as well! Service is great.
Ryan W — Google review
Red Wing Brewery is a nice little brewery in...you guessed it...Red Wing MN. Their hand tossed pizzas are very popular but I stopped to try their beer. They had 11 of their beers on for my stop. They included a scottish ale, farmhouse, kolsch, stout, Bavarian coffee ale, a red, a brown, an IPA, a 100year+ old recipe called a royalbrew, and an orange and lemon shandy. They also had 7 local guest taps, including a few ciders. Everything I tried was on point, and several were above average. Personally, I liked the scottish, red, brown, and still deciding on the royal. Regardless, I recommend that you go shopping for your RedWing boots before the brewery....or you may end up with too many boots. Really struggling if this 4 or 5 stars.

I had one of the best pizzas I've ever had here, when visiting some friends in Red Wing a while back. If you get a chance -- and it's still on the menu -- order the 'Seoul Food' pizza. It's amazing, seriously. Service is also fantastic. I really miss this place :)

Absolutely delicious. Interesting specialty pizzas but honestly just the crust and sauce shows they know what they're doing. I had a Remmler Royal Brew and wife had Wild State Cider; both were top notch. Wonderful staff to boot. Full recommend!

We'd arrived to Red Wing not an hour before, starting the move into our new house, and needed to celebrate our fresh start with some quality local pizza. We went with Red Wing Brewery based on online reviews and pictures. We were able to order right away and sat at a table right near the front of the restaurant. On that Thursday evening, much of their business was take-out, and we soon saw why--the food is freshly-made and that takes time. That was fine by us (though we know to call ahead next time!) as we enjoyed our drinks, chatted, and watched the street outside. My husband had a meat lovers pizza, my son had a custom cheese pizza, while I had the white pizza. They were all hot and tasty, and the cheesy garlic bread was delicious, too. Definitely a pizza place to order from again!

We were visiting Red Wing and wanted to find a GF pizza. 🍕. We drove the few minutes from the St James and parked easily right out front. Right from the start, we were welcomed and were able to quickly order at the counter not only for a GF pizza, but also a locally brewed GF beer from St Paul. The pizza and beer were both excellent, and the leftover pizza is my lunch today while I fly home to Tampa. Thank you Red Wing Brewery for a great experience.
Tom O — Google review
My, oh my, i really enjoyed my visit here. First time and everything was superb. I loved the beer and the pizzas. For beer we had — Cokins Bavarian Ale, and Remmler’s Royal Brew. Both beers are well made and quite tasty. The Remmler’s is made following a resurrected recipe from the Remmler’s Brewery, an original brewery of Red Wing. I had an 8” Seoul Food Pizza K-Mama sauce (authentic Korean hot sauce from Minneapolis, MN), mozzarella, chicken, shredded carrots, and celery. And my wife had an 8” Chicken Alfredo Pizza Alfredo sauce, mozzarella, diced chicken, and parsley. These specialty pizzas are $16.95 but they are very good and worth it. The crust is very good — medium-thin, crunchy, and very tasty. The cheese is 100% whole milk mozzarella and the sauces are either tomato sauce or garlic white. I plan to return.

1st, this place really has great pizza. But maybe on our visit they where having a issue….it took 1 hour to get the pizza from the time we ordered them. They are delicious, great crust, but a hour is too long. Other then that it’s your craft brewery vibe. Some picnic tables for seating. Which is nice if your bored with your company or lover, you can start chatting with the people write next to you. Try there food & drinks. Or at least someone else close to stare at. The A.C. Works well! Located in a nice area with a couple other bars on the river to bar hop to

Super cool spot in a beautiful historic hotel. The restaurant was busy on a Friday evening, definitely recommend having a reservation or calling in advance to check the wait time. We put our names in and got a table about 1.5 hours later, which was totally fine for us! The food was delicious, and our server Patrick was fantastic and so friendly. :) highly recommend this spot for dinner (and I've heard they have incredible brunch too!). We loved the cheese curds and brussel sprouts appetizers!

We stayed at the Treasure Island Resort Hotel for two nights and three days. On our second day, we visited the charming town of Red Wing. I had researched a place where we could enjoy lunch overlooking the Mississippi River, and we decided to drop by without a reservation. To our delight, we were promptly seated at a window table (we opted to sit indoors as it was quite hot outside). Thanks to our friendly server Beverly, she recommended the delicious Caprese sandwich, which my husband thoroughly enjoyed. I ordered the wild rice soup and the poke bowl. The wild rice soup is definitely one I would recommend among the ones I have tried. The poke bowl, with its spicy and tangy sauce combined with fresh quinoa and vegetables, was very fresh and satisfying. The cold brew coffee was also excellent. If I return to Red Wing, I will certainly come back here just for these dishes. The interior was clean and comfortable, which we appreciated. However, I rated the atmosphere four out of five stars because three persistent flies kept entering from the terrace and trying to land on our food throughout the meal. It was a bit distracting having to shoo them away repeatedly. I suppose even the flies have heard how exceptional the food is here! 😅

I loved this place. We had a chance of rain the day we went - Table of ten, so we had to stay inside. However our table was made with broken pieces of pottery with epoxy over it. Very cool table. Tons of fresh flowers throughout restaurant. Large menu options, each dish very eye pleasing and delicious. Save room for the desserts…..so good, all of them. Great service and delicious food. We will be back.

Wonderful restaurant. We had lunch here on the first day of spring on March 20, 2025. The pot roast was said to have been cooked for 16 hours was delicious, seemingly worth every minute of the 16 hours. The bourbon pecan pie was the best ever. The coffee was excellent. All in all a great lunch. Service was good.

What could be better than a girl’s day out?! Nothing! And lunchtime on a Friday led us to visit Scarlet Kitchen & Bar. It was quite busy when we arrived (the patio was hopping) but we were seated inside near the windows. It was very bright and airy inside. Beverly was our server and she was the absolute sweetest! She was as attentive as possible with the busyness of the restaurant and gave us great recommendations. I started with a mango margarita and my friend had the blackberry margarita. Both of the drinks were yummy and refreshing. We then ordered the crab rangoon dip and the BLTA with fries to share. This is where I marked down stars in my review for service— the food took over 45 minutes to come out!! It was a good thing we were there for a leisurely lunch because that is a long time to wait for food. The food itself was all very tasty— the crab dip was hot and it worked well with the fried naan bread it was served with. The BLTA was balanced and the jalapeño bacon gave it a nice kick. The multi-grain bread it was served on held up well to the sandwich. The French fries were also perfectly hot and crispy. Overall, we enjoyed our visit to Scarlet and would return— the fantastic flavors in the food made up for the lack of speed from the kitchen.

Excellent food and service! We were impressed by the size of portions and quality of food, especially for kids - a lot of restaurants skimp on that. My husband got Thai mahi-mahi and I had salmon and both did not disappoint. With drinks, appetizers, and main juice, we both spent around $35 per person. Kids meals included sides and beverage and were very affordable, too.

The food itself was wonderful. Big portions, very tasty. But the service was incredibly slow. Shortly after we sat down, I ordered the house martini (which was delicious) but it took nearly 15 minutes to arrive. After we ordered our appetizer, I notified the food runner that we'd be requiring plates and a serving spoon. After muttering something under her breath in an unfriendly tone, she delivered the plates to our table one-by-one. It was rude and also very strange. Long story short, our whole party of 6 was there by 7pm (admittedly, slight late for our 6:30pm reservation) and we did not get the check until well after 8:30pm. This delayed our post-dinner plans rather severely. Our waiter was very polite and friendly. Nevertheless, the food was very slow in coming to our table. The hostess did offer to comp our dessert but by that point, we'd already been there for too long and just needed to leave.

I recently went to see my first performance at the Seldom Theater in Red Wing! I went with some friends and we saw the B2wins! What a gem of a historic theater hidden in the quaint town of Red Wing!

Food is fantastic! Best bakery in Southern Minnesota! This was my first visit here and it wasn't super busy but many people besides me, had a tougher time figuring out "the line" system. Staff seems like they were exhausted. All together a good experience but a bit of a hassle.

A bit bummed with the experience as service was pretty slow and place feels disorganized - no line markers, lots of people milling, and very slow service. Panini had single layer of ham with too many peppers so felt overpriced, coffee and donuts were good but with the long waits just didn't feel like "best bakery in MN" donuts. Dirty Soda was good but cashier gave a big sigh when I ordered one. Cute place in a cute town though.

The amount of donuts selections was crazy. I wish I lived closer to be able to try all of them. We were satisfied with all the variety that we did try. The coffee was really delicious too. I would highly recommend someone stopping by while they’re in town. The folks running it are super friendly as well.

Pastries, bread doughnuts delicious. I am giving 3 stars based on: A. New layout makes it more chaotic than usual. B. Have someone dedicated to the register when it is busy…if you just want to buy a loaf of bread it shouldn’t take 15 minutes. C. Buying coffee should also not mean someone should wait in line 10 minutes to get said cup of coffee. I get the bakery and making the goods is a priority, but honestly it was more enjoyable when it was small.

Bayside Saloon has a great atmosphere, and great food for the price. I went with my significant other for dinner and we were both left impressed. The house made soup was by far some of the best local soup I can find! I can't remember a time where I've had such a good soup - this dish alone was worth every dollar. For dinner, we both had a ribeye steak, one 12 ounce and the other sixteen. The twelve ounce was cooked to a perfect medium rare but the sixteen was a little over cooked, more like medium well. However, the flavor was still plenty in shape and was worth every bite. This place may be a bar and grill, but they went over the top and NAILED the grill portion! Would I visit this place again? Yes. Would I recommend this place to a friend? Yes.

Cozy all American diner and bar, full of friendly folk, and that pleasant Midwestern service. The food was ok, but that's about it. 🦐 Ordering the shrimp cocktail may have been an error on my part. But it looked and tasted like five shrimp from the fridge, put on a plate, served with a semi fitting dipping sauce. 🍔 The California burger was combined well and had a nice quality paddy. The bun had just been sliced through, and the overall experience might have been improved quite a bit if the bun had been toasted, fried or something.

This was the kind of first-time visit that makes us want to go back for more! We made a spontaneous visit at 5pm on a Friday and lucked out to get a seat on the patio. Molly was our server, and she was fantastic--very busy, but we were never left lacking. I had cider while my husband had a beer. The menu has a broad selection of items, but we were drawn to the same thing on this visit--the fried walleye. I ordered it with side salad and rice pilaf, while my husband ordered an extra filet and with fries on the side. For an appetizer, we had fried cheese curds, and they were fantastic. Piping hot, squeaky, and crisp. The side salads were nice and fresh. Our main dishes were so very good, too. It was an incredibly satisfying meal and experience.

When my mom came to town I had to take her to Bayside. Local favorite spot! The service was friendly and fast. The food was fresh, hot and mouthwateringly tasty. The spices on that Cajon chicken sandwich gave your tongue a taste bud delight. And those fresh handmade burgers are some of the best around. Although I'm not happy with the town for how they positioned the bridge going into next door that messed up the beautiful view of the river well see what it looks like when the bridge is finished. All in all great drinks, delicious food, small town atmosphere. I like this place. So good that when Jay Lenno came to town this is where he ate. Try the steaks!

This is one of the only dog-friendly establishments in Red Wing and we're so glad we found it! There's a great little courtyard on the side of the cafe with tables, chairs and plenty of shade. You order food and drinks inside and they'll bring the food out to your table. Fresh, high quality food and great coffee.

Mexican restaurant
I enjoy exploring local cuisine, and recently visited a newer restaurant called Rancho Loco Grill & Bar. The service was prompt as we were seated right away, and we were offered salsa and a bean dip to snack on while deciding what to order. I opted for seafood enchiladas while my companion chose a chicken burrito. They had margaritas on special, so I couldn't resist trying the raspberry flavor which was amazing. The food itself was delicious, making it an enjoyable evening.
I enjoyed the food. Authentic tasting and fresh. Healthy portions...enough for me to bring home enough for a snack. The drinks are creative and generous as well...A variety...Nice family atmosphere, friendly waiters and great service. I would definitely go there again.

Stopped here for an early dinner and was impressed. You can tell the chips are freshly fried and the salsa and bean dips they give you are great. Menu is huge which personally I like but does make it hard to decide too because so much looked good. Food came out quickly, hot, and tasted great. Even the rice they give you on the side, so many Mexican restaurants it's dry and more of a filler, but here is was moist and had a really good flavor I was left wanting more. To top it off, our waiter was very friendly and attentive. Highly recommend this place.

I'm skeptical of Mexican food in the Midwest, as it tends to cater to bland palates, but I was delighted to find that Rancho Loco is a lot like the restaurants I grew up with in California. The menu is huge and offers a wide variety of food, and what we had actually included some spices and nuance. A number of different hot sauces sat on the table, too, to add a little heat if so desired. Portions were huge. The restaurant had a nice ambience, too. The tables were nicely spaced out, the decor on-theme without being over-the-top. A soccer game was on the TV over us, which my husband enjoyed watching. Service was great the whole time. We were never kept waiting long, and food came out right as we finished up our chip bowl. I'd definitely come here again!

Rancho Loco Grill & Bar- Red Wing, MN Over the weekend, my family of four visited Rancho Loco in Red Wing. Unfortunately, our experience was disappointing and upsetting especially as we were trying to accommodate our child’s dietary needs. When placing our order, we specifically asked our waitress to serve the vegetables on a separate plate and to provide double rice with no beans, as our 9-year-old son does not like spicy food or beans. The food took quite a while to arrive. When it finally did, the steak was covered in a green vegetable sauce, and the second plate had rice, beans and vegetables not what we had requested. We politely reminded the waitress of our request, and her reaction was unexpectedly unprofessional. She angrily grabbed the vegetable plate, slammed it onto another table, and raised her voice, saying, “Okay, I’ll bring you a different plate.” She did not take back the incorrect steak. When we asked for a new steak prepared plain, as originally ordered, she again responded with attitude, asking, “What’s wrong with it?” We explained that it had a sauce on it we didn’t want. She left without further response. About 10-15 minutes later, the cook personally brought out a plain steak, which was appreciated and finally matched our request. However, when the bill came, we were charged for both steaks, despite the first being incorrect due to their mistake. By that point, we just wanted to leave the uncomfortable environment and decided to pay without arguing further.This experience left us disappointed, especially due to the lack of courtesy and professionalism shown toward our family and particularly toward our child’s needs. Based on this visit, we will not be returning, and we do not recommend this restaurant to families, especially those with young children or dietary requests. Thank you.

The menu features standout items like stuffed strawberry French toast and hearty corned beef hash, all prepared with care and served in generous portions.
the food was tasty-riffic and Minnesota “plentiful” (PLUS pancakes are enormous) BUT the SMILES from customers Jim, Dave & Joe (Grumpy ole’ guy team) and super-riffic servers “Tiffany” & “Kerry” made me leave with “More Smiles Than I Came In With!” 😃✌️ p.s. lots of historical pictures too “Run-A-Way Bill” was here!

The Smokin' Oak Rotisserie & Grill is a family-owned restaurant in Red Wing, MN that specializes in wood-fired rotisserie cuisine. They use oak and cherry wood to sear ribs, chicken, and loin roasts over an open fire, resulting in deliciously flavored meats. The menu features a variety of traditional comfort foods made with organic and local ingredients. With its casual atmosphere and emphasis on high-quality meat dishes, this restaurant is a paradise for meat lovers.
with 2 sides. I decided on just a double serving of the Garlic & Herb mashed potatoes. My fiancé got the Half a chicken meal with the Garlic & Herb mashed potatoes, as well as the potato salad. My family was also along and we all got similar plates. The only thing I can say as well as not really complain about is my 1/4th Rack of Ribs was cold. I farm so most of my meals are cold by the time I get them from my mom or grandmother. All I cared about was the flavor and if it was moist or over cooked. It was cooked to perfection and even while cold it was still juicy and delicious. The chicken was hot and delicious, very filling and the flavor was perfect. One more thing and something I always find for some reason all the time nowadays. The soda wasn't good. A very small thing that doesn't reflect the business or its standing. It could have been as simple as a pinched line or an off balance carbonated water to syrup ratio. But seriously, this place was amazing. Don't listen to me complaining; I was on a boat all day. Go check this place out; it's amazing...!!!

I really wanted to like this place but I am giving it a hard pass on visiting ever again. The brisket dinner was like dry pot roast. Not sliced brisket… just chunks of meat. The ribs were underwhelming and cold. The “rotisserie” wings were just deep fried wings… but these were hot and yet had many cold spots. The hamburger was served overcooked and dry. 3 people, $115, not a strong value for poorly executed food menu. I gave 2 stars because the bathrooms were clean and the overall facilities were decent.

We came hungry and left stuffed, our server was awesome, she kept our drinks full it was hot when we stopped and she made sure we had waters the whole time we shared the sampler appetizer it was worth the price the brisket was tender and flavorful the chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside the ribs were tasty even the mashed potatoes were special!

Considering the business of the events happening this weekend, I (and my entire party of 6) thought the restaurant and especially our waitress did a wonderful job of handling the stress of all the extra attention. She was upfront and honest with us from the get-go with the wait and items that happened to run out, was charming, empathetic, and ABOVE accommodating. (I looked for our receipt but think we forgot it so all I have to describe our waitress was a beautiful tall blonde whose name may have been something reminiscent of Mandy? So sorry if completely off, but either way, spectacular serving) AND the cooks wished us a wonderful night on our way out. So happy we chose this place to dine and share memories at!

Initial service was really slow. Got the "big drummies" for the appetizer It took quite some time to come out and it was 3 dummies and 3 flats. Flats were rubbery and the sauce just made them slimy. Give the wings a one star at best. The Sandwiches were excellent! Very hot! Freshly made. Both the regular and sweet potato fries came up seconds before they hit the table. Hot and crispy. Sandwiches easy 5 star.

One of my favorite courses I have played in Minnesota. An hour drive from the Twin Cities. The layout of the course is what I loved. With downhill and uphill teeshots; tight and open teeshots; beautiful tree-lined fairways with some dog legged holes both left and right and straight: this course offers challenges for any golfer. I would love to see how the colors show during the fall.

One of my favorite courses, been playing it for 25 years. Finished in 3 hours, 15 minutes teeing off at 10:30 Sunday 27Oct24. I was waiting all day, so I stopped in 12 fairway to finish my lunch and drink as no one was within 3 holes behind me all day and the next three holes play slow. A man and his adolescent son waited on the tee for a few minutes. I noticed and resumed playing normally. They finally caught up again on 17 fairway and hit into me. Missed by 5 feet and yelled fore as the ball landed. He explained it was my fault as I should have played through the group ahead. The polite gentleman in the pro shop wasn't there at the end of the round to complain. Probably won't play here again anytime soon.

This is your classic municipal small city golf course. Elevation change was the nice part of the course and some of the views of the valley. The course is in need of major modernization. Some holes are very gimicky with super tight valleys/doglegs. Gives only one option of play. There was one hole where the "signature" tree is overhanging green, but this tree is dead a d had clearly been for awhile. Just take it down. It could use a 50% reduction of trees. Areas where they are overhanging fairway. It is much easier to maintain the courae with less trees and more creative use of long fescue and rough. The bunkers are in major need of updating. They are dirt, not sand. The greens are OK at best. Clearly dirt based old greens that are very average. They have an ant issue which is a death sentence for the greens and fringe. This could be cleared up via insecticide. Overall I was a bit disappointed

Stopped in after a lovely bicycle ride on the cannon valley trail. Got a couple of ice creams. I ordered a double in a chocolate dipped cone. They gave me 4 big scoops! Way to much, but I was happy to give it my best shot. I got scoops of the coconut, and the fudge. Both amazingly good. Staff was very nice, and helpful. Lots of other confections to choose from. Maybe another time we would try the chocolates. The chocolate covered potato chips looked amazing. Would definitely come back.

We’re visiting Red Wing & this was our first time to the ice cream shop. Understand when reading this I am way to please. Doesn’t take much & I would much prefer to leave a positive review than negative, but I’m hoping this will be seen by management. It’s a pretty store. Things were nicely arranged & displayed. Unfortunately , we would never go back in there. The older gal with the short hair & round dark glasses was extremely rude. No hello, or anything except a glare. Walked into the back area where candy/chocolates are made. Came back out & asked what we needed. So she got my ice cream. Grabbed a cone with her bare unwashed hands & scooped my ice cream, as her hair brushed into it each time. Not a pleasant experience at all. We’re so disappointed. .

We bought some chocolates here last weekend. This review is not about quality or selection of the goods, those were fine. However, when I paid with my debit card, the actual charge on my bank account was $0.66 more than the receipt showed. Nowhere on the receipt it said anything about any additional charges or fees for using a card versus cash, it was just total for the chocolates plus tax. So, why was I charged extra? 🤔 Anyway, I wasn't going to call them about 66 cents difference, but it is dishonest practice.

Visitors can enjoy breathtaking views of Red Wing and its surrounding bluffs while strolling along the Mississippi River shoreline.
Here are the Top 5️⃣ Best Things About Bay Point Park in Red Wing, MN! 1️⃣ Picturesque views of the Mississippi River, Barn Bluff/He-Mni-Can, downtown Red Wing and the beautiful Red Wing Eisenhower Bridge (MN-WI Hwy 63 Bridge). Also, the perfect backdrop to a family photo with the Red Wing sign! 📸 2️⃣ It’s a busy area, but not too busy! — Boats in the marinas or on the river, walkers with dogs 🐕 on the paved path, kids playing on the playgrounds 🛝, picnics, photographers 📸 taking pictures of wildlife and scenery and tow boats and barges cruising by. 3️⃣Expansive playground 🛝 that has equipment for the littles and the older children.

Beautiful park hugging the Mississippi River on one side, the historic Boat House Village on another and the marina at one end. The Boat House village is one of the only remaining "gin pole" installations still available, where some boat houses are over 100 years old and are registered on the historical society. Charcoal grills, ample parking, modern bathrooms and so much more. Take 3 laps around the 2/3 of a mile walking trail and you have 2 miles in. You will also enjoy the sights and sounds as you pass the young children playing on the large, multi-structure playground, families having a picnic under one of the two open shelters, boisterous talk on the sand volleyball court and the variety of boats motoring up and down the river. Or one can simple sit on one of the many park benches, picnic tables and some swinging benches lining the water and enjoy the tranquility and beauty around you. Throw off the mask, kick off your shoes and let down your hair and enjoy all that this park has to offer.

Wonderful meal. Took our daughter for her birthday. We had Swedish Meatballs, Braised beef on noodles, and the Salmon and Black rice. All were beautifully plated and and delicious. Service was great. Ordered a crème brulee and pot du cream for dessert. I don't think we left a bite of anything.

The Staghead is a cozy bar-restaurant with a laid back and friendly atmosphere. It’s a great place to meet with friends to conversate while eating very good food. Our server was attentive, congenial, and knowledgeable about the food and drink menu. Overall, service was excellent. We had the Staghead Burger with roasted wedge potatoes and salmon clam chowder with a baguette. The burger was prepared medium as requested, was juicy and flavorful. Chowder was light, flavorful and delicious. Both dishes were perfect for a cold day! We will for sure eat here next time we’re in Red Wing. If you’re visiting for the day put The Staghead on your list . It’s in a great area to shop as well.

Prices are on par for the quality of food and drinks, not cheap, but not over priced. Service is fast and friendly. Bathrooms are clean and unique. Outdoor seating has n back is a nice option on a nice day. Menu is both familiar and unique…. I suggest unique.

What a gem of a restaurant! We visited in April and I was immediately mesmerized by the place as soon as I walked in. It's got great ambience! We came to visit some friends that moved nearby and collectively decided on this restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious and not your run-of-the-mill fare. They served dishes that are oftentimes only found in bigger cities like beef tartare. Everything about this place was great. And although there was only one server, she hustled and did an amazing job! We'll definitely be back

The bartender provided amazing, attentive and friendly service. The Salmon Salad was shockingly good. I don’t typically order salads, but I would hands down order this again. The skin was cooked to perfection. I would definitely return. Cute place for a date night. It seemed to accommodate large group reservations as well.

We drive through Red Wing a couple times a year. I would definitely stop here again. Great gluten free choices! Burgers and salads are great. Their main menu choices also look good. They make everything from scratch and to each order.

We stopped here after a golf outing in Lake City. I was excited to find a place with healthier food. I had the seared salmon dish. The salmon was prepared perfectly, but the coconut curry sauce was a bit bland. My husband tried the trout entree which came with a delicious corned beef hash. The trout had lots of bones (right, we know), but just be careful. Beet salad was good, clam chowder was a little weak. Service was great.

Fabulous food and fair prices. I had the brussel sprout salad!! $13. SO yummy. My friend had the crab stuffed avocado and lobster bisque soup. Menu changes up next week, the chef said they are adding some more lighter seafood options. Highly recommend!

American restaurant
The Mac Shack & Specialties is a delightful counter-service eatery that offers a variety of mouthwatering dishes, including pizza, salads, sandwiches, and their standout mac and cheese. With outdoor seating available, it’s the perfect spot to enjoy your meal in the fresh air. Diners rave about the gluten-free options here; many have been pleasantly surprised by how delicious they are! The owner takes pride in his craft, even smoking his own meats for an extra layer of flavor.
If you love comfort food this is a good place to try. Mac n Cheese is creamy and delish! I had the Philly Mac n cheese. They have cheese steaks, pizzas and wings as well. Staff was very friendly. You order at a counter and then you can take out or sit at a table.

This was the first time visit for my friends and myself. We picked it based on Google reviews and its proximity to the Cannon Valley trailhead. Proved to be a great place for a post ride lunch. There were five of us in the party. One chose pizza which he described as excellent. The rest of us chose from among the great many variations on Mac cheese. These are assembled while your watch behind a a counter somewhat reminiscent of a subway sandwich shop. Then off to the oven. Servings were uniformly large and reasonably priced. The medium pizza proved to be sufficiently large for two, possibly three people. Three of the four mac and cheese orders in my party left food in the oven so to speak. (The signature mac and cheese variations are served in single serving size cast iron, Dutch ovens, which is not only unique, but serves to keep the contents warm.) I had ridden more miles than the rest, and I was perfectly happy to consume all of my brisket and barbecue mac cheese entree. Water and soft drinks for beverages. Alas, no beer, which would go great with either the pizza or the Mac cheese. I'll go back again the next time I'm in Red Wing.

Very celiac friendly, the food is very fresh and vibrant. The staff is friendly and helpful. I wish it had a bigger seating area so I could bring everyone I know :)

Absolutely loved The Mac Shack in Red Wing! I rode high in the Texas Biscuit Burrito—flaky, savory, and packed with flavor. My friends had the Buffalo Chicken Mac Burrito, Philly Cheesesteak Mac, and the Low Decay Dirt Hot Mac. Each dish was unique, wildly flavorful, and totally worth trying. Creative comfort food done right. Five stars without hesitation. Can’t wait to go back and try more!

restaurant with a really good selection and a brilliant use for a pizza oven. very busy the day we were there. we had to wait about 20 minutes for our food. Was delicious and worth the wait, would be even better without it. it's available on doordash. would be fantastic for a picnic. great for kids that are picky eaters. if we lived in a neighborhood we would be there often. When we're in town for a concert we will swing by.

Thanks to the team for accurately handling a catering order - it made for a happy bride during lunch on her wedding day

Got a kids meal with Apple sauce and a juice box and ordered a Diet Coke and bag of SunChips. I only received the sandwich and Diet Coke didn’t receive the drink or side of the kid’s meal. Called the location and they said normally people get themselves for pick up don’t know if I believe that as the other location in town, put all the stuff in the bag for me. How is anybody supposed to know that what you’re supposed to do when they don’t tell you I would assume that they would give it to you. And at least at the other location in town, their drinks are behind the counter so I wouldn’t be able to get that myself anyways if it’s the same set up as the other one. don’t recommend if you order ahead if you want all your stuff

We went into Subway to get our order for Doordash. Kaylee Eckhoff, stared at us and watched us take the order without drinks. We Drop the food off to the person without drinks. We went back and asked about the drinks, we got one of the drinks but they were out of the other so we ask kaylee what we should do and she didn’t answer and walked in the back with no help. So we had to grab our own cup and drink for the customer.

Walked in. Girl look miserable, never made eye contact with me and was rearranging and filling in her trays. As I’m waiting like for four minutes, another customer walks in and she acknowledges her and starts taking her order. Almost like if I was invisible. And then I told her are you gonna pretend like I’m not even here? And she stated I said hello and you didn’t say anything back. Which is not true. And then I said forget it you know what I’ll just go somewhere else and I left the store. Ladies and gentlemen, this is the reason why stores like these go out of business. Very unprofessional. Leave your problems at home. It’s not my fault or anybody else’s fault that you have issues that are not my concern.
Roger F — Google review
We stopped for dinner between 6:30-7 on 1/19/24. Walked in, no one in the place. No workers appeared until we were at the counter. Zero eye contact. No greeting like, "Hello". Only asked for our order. There were 2 girls that waited on us. It was obvious we were disturbing their evening and they had no problem letting us know. Sandwiches were good. No complaint. Service was some of the worst I've seen. Do better, ladies.

Great food that is more on the healthy side. I love that they don't put preservatives in their bread. Definitely worth the cost
Ben S — Google review
The coolers for the veggies are set way too low and the bins are frozen. Which then leads to the veggies being mushy. I hadn’t come here in months hoping it would change since I had noticed other local stores doing the same. Kind of slow service since they only had two people on and couldn’t keep up with the demand. Store was very clean. Was not impressed with the mushy veggies.
Tom — Google review
I really like subway because they have great food and there's never a huge line do you can get in and out if you're in a hurry. They have a great selection of sandwiches and awesome chip options, please if you're reading this try the Italian bmt on Italian bread and American cheese. The only reason it isn't a 5 star is because I live on the other side of town so I don't get there that often. It has nothing to do with their food or staff it's just where I live.
