The restaurant overlooks the river and has that classic small-town Main Street charm. One unique touch is that it sits just above the railroad tracks--we were lucky enough to catch a train rolling through during our meal, which added to the atmosphere. We started with a half-pound of the boneless teriyaki wings. They were perfectly fine but didn't leave much of an impression. Think classic bar wings--crispy, saucy, and satisfying, but nothing that really stood out from what you'd find elsewhere. For our entrees, my wife ordered the Buffalo Chicken Wrap with a side of tater tots. The buffalo flavor was good, but the wrap leaned a little too heavily on the lettuce. She would have liked more chicken and for it to be a bit crispier to balance everything out. Our server recommended the Brisket Burger, and I'm glad I listened. It's a towering burger that's almost a meal for two--I probably could've skipped the appetizer. The smoked brisket added plenty of richness, and there were a lot of flavors working together. My only critique is that the beef patty itself could've used a bit more seasoning to help it stand out alongside the brisket. I paired it with the potato salad, which had a creamy, egg-forward base but could've benefited from a little more seasoning and brightness. While not every dish was a home run, the atmosphere was the star of the visit. Between the river views, historic downtown feel, and trains rolling by, Kelly's Tap House is a fun place to spend a summer afternoon or evening. We'd stop back again, especially to enjoy the location and explore more of the menu.

Home Plate Grill has a really fun atmosphere. They offer pool and a few arcade games. There was even advertising for all of the events they have throughout the week and I am jealous I will not be able to attend all of them! Our waitress was very attentive and provided us with everything we wanted. I ordered the Banh Mi hot dog with a side salad and it was great. I wished I would have ordered 2 hot dogs!!! My friend ordered a spicy burger and really enjoyed it. He prefers a lot of spice and this burger was exactly that. I am excited to come back here the next tike I am in Red Wing, MN.

The parking lot is pretty spacious, so no battling for a spot like you might need to in downtown. The bowling alley is in a separate part of the building; we couldn't see hear any sounds from there in the restaurant. We seated ourselves, as a sign advised, and were quickly brought menus. Service remained pretty good throughout our visit. We both had drinks. My husband enjoyed the Bierstube Red, while I had a bottle of Angry Orchard cider. Our cheese curd appetizer was delicious, the curds hot and squeaky with a nice layer of breading. For my main dish, I had the grilled cheese on pumpernickel along with the standard seasoned potato chips. Everything was really good--the sandwich had a great amount of cheese with a good, stringy pull. My husband LOVED the all you can eat fish fry. He declared it to be his favorite out of the local restaurants we've tried. His fries were great, too. After finishing off the main plate, he could request more fish from our server, and she'd bring out a piece at a time on a saucer. I was in an indulgent mood, so we had dessert, too--the apple strudel. It was really good, the strudel piping-hot all the way through, served alongside a big scoop of ice cream. A caramel drizzle added the perfect final touch. We'll definitely be back here, and probably on Fridays!

A $3 upcharge for fries is steep, but they give you a lot of them; I would order them well done/extra crispy. They just recently had to condense their menu.

One time it tasted like it was cooked with fish. The burgers no longer taste grilled, instead a bland steamed flavor along with tasteless buns. No ketchup is given with French fries even when asked. Cheese curds seem more like small marble sized coating with a bit of cheese. All very disappointing after decades of great food. The chocolate shakes & root beer floats are still good. The attitude of the owner/manager needs improving too.

She immediately recommended that we try Scarlet Kitchen & Bar and get the pretzel. Scarlet is located in the historic St. James Hotel in beautiful downtown Red Wing. The restaurant is large and inviting, but it was a lovely night, so we opted to sit on their patio wherever had a view of the town. Our server was attentive and friendly. Of course, we ordered Amy's Famous Pretzel, and with beer cheese and garlic butter dipping sauces, it was absolutely delicious--more like a pretzel bread. I ordered the Mississippi Pot Roast Sandwich, and that hit the spot, too. A simple Panna Cotta with a berry sauce was a light, and tasty finish to our meal. If you want a great meal, in a beautiful restaurant with attentive service, give Scarlet Kitchen & Bar a try. It will not disappoint.

But I can tell you that whoever determined the menu and keeps everyone on track, and probably everyone at the restaurant put a little love into the place and a lot of love into their coworkers. You CAN taste the difference when people are happy. We went with an order of 3 large shrimp for each of us, and a half chicken and ribs with coleslaw and sweet potatoe fries. The shrimp were incredible! The size! The juiciness, the ability to get every bit of meat out of the tail! Everything about these was everything that I wanted. I couldn't believe that one serving of just 3 was so filling! (I think you would need 6 Red Lobster butterfly shrimp to equal the size of one but you cannot compare the taste as these are peel & eat.) Then I opened the protein box and realized that I had made the embarrassing mistake of not ordering a barbecue sauce. Humph. I think that should not have been such an easy mistake to make on their site. Thankfully, both of us like grilled food without dripping sauces and ... OMG ... We were not disappointed in the food! The ribs were like eating a meat candy. They were such a joy to hold the bone and just lightly pull the tender sweet meat off. There was barely any fat. The spice rub brought out the juices from deep inside the meat but only let them sit on the meat and inside the skin. The chicken was amazing! The dark meat practically ran juices down the front of our shirts as we bit into it, the same way that sweet corn does. The white meat was so juicy it was like the typical dark meat that most people achieve on Thanksgiving. Now, the coleslaw was one of the blandest I've tasted but I figured if you do have one of the spicier barbecue sauces you might be using it as a foil. Helping you to calm your mouth's fire down with the dressing. Of course, fries don't travel well and sweet potatoe are no different. But they were absolutely everything I expected. They were delicious!! I am having surgery in April and trying to see how to ship this food to me after that now. ;)

However, in execution I was a bit disappointed. I came with a group of 6, and I ordered the southwest sandwich with brisket. The disappointing thing about seeing the pass with the food in it, is that you can see your food sit. I saw my friends sandwich sitting for a good 10 minutes. It was just a bit slow. The brisket was bland, and was overpowered by the spicy aioli. They also forgot to ring up our to go order which was a bummer. The hotel breakfast across the street had a better smoked meat.
