My mom and I decided to do a little fall weather drive along the river down to lake pepin from the cities. It is a little over an hour but an easy, beautiful drive with some awesome views. This was our first time visiting so we didn't know where to go for lunch. Browsing yelp and the internet, we decided on Bluffside Grill. Their menu and prices are what drew us in. It is located at the Jewel Golf club, so you park in the same parking lot. Upon arrival, there is hand sanitizer available and all the tables are socially distanced. They do have outdoor seating available with beautiful views of the golf course but it is shaded so it might get a little chilly.
They have a simple lunch menu with some appetizers, salads and sandwiches. I started off with their beer cheese soup. It comes with popcorn which is a must for beer cheese soup. It was delicious!! Some of the better soup I've had in awhile. Next I had the hickory burger and fries. It was so good! They have the battered kind of fries making them extra crunchy and tasty. The burger itself was flavorful and just what a burger should taste like. The cheese perfectly melted, bacon perfectly crispy, and the sweet bbq sauce to top it off. Be sure to add onions on this one if you like them.
Service was excellent and the prices were very affordable. I love when you find places like this that hit above and beyond your expectations. Great burger and sandwich place. read more
