    Pizza Mac and Cheese Burrito
    John K.

    They are open until 3AM! We stopped by on the way back from IL and wow, what a plethora of options for Mac and cheese. Didn't realize it was so versatile. The price is affordable, the food was PLENTY, and the flavors were bursting. I would highly recommend any of their burritos...the wrap was cooked perfectly and it's just all the goodness packed in the middle. Nothing fancy about the interior but it does give you a welcoming, home in the wall, type of place. I would definitely stop by again when driving through Red Wjng.

    BBQ Mac w/Brisket

    Very nice clean friendly place. Food was very good. HUGE menu of options. I had the BBQ Brisket Mac it was very good. I was expecting the standard version I've gotten at various BBQ joints. Mac soaked in cheese with some brisket tossed in and squirt of BBQ sauce on top. This was not how they make it. This was more like a vegetable sweet n sour stir fry with Mac on top and then melted cheese on top of that serve in a hot iron skillet. You can also get it in a burrito or pizza form with other protein choices. My only recommendation is Staff was very friendly and talkative so ask questions when ordering cuz it's likely not what you've had before. Overall it was great and I will definitely come back.

    On the weekends, they are open until 3 am. Very friendly staff. Very large menu. We were the only people there about midnight on a Sat night. My dining partner had a grilled cheese sandwich that had macaroni and brisket on it and came with chips. I had buffalo traditional wing. I think they put the spicy Buffalo sauce on them as my lips were on fire. They were very good. The ranch is Newman's in packets, and they give you a little tin foil cup so you can dip your wings.

All of the food coming out of the kitchen looked great. They have so many beers on tap, lots from MN breweries which is awesome! I opted for the Bloody Mary and it was delicious! The restaurant has plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Parking isn't bad- there is street parking out front and an additional lot across the street. The one downside is the that the last few times I've come service has been slow ... great but slow. You can tell the staff works hard but could function better with an additional staff member or two. I recommend Kelly's and will definitely be back!

The atmosphere is very cozy as well. I have to add that my waitress today surprised me! In passing conversation it came up that I was taking myself out for my birthday. When I went to pay for the meal, my waitress told me that someone paid for my dinner. I was shocked and didn't know what to say! I asked her who paid for it, but she tried to play it off as she didn't know. I was very pleasantly surprised by how lovely, considerate and thoughtful it was for her to do that! I know it had to have been her because no one else knew why I was there. She truly doesn't know how much that meant to me and how that act of kindness was appreciated, especially during the current season of my life. I wish I could remember her name, but unfortunately I didn't memorize it quick enough. She didn't give me a receipt that I could look at for it. But I will never forget her or what she did and hope that I am blessed enough to chat with her again! I definitely recommend going to Liberty Restaurant when in Red Wing! You won't be disappointed! Someone told me to try the fish there, so maybe I'll have to return when they have their Friday fish special! And if the management views this review, please know that you have an amazing woman working on your team who is very rare in today's world! Cherish her! I was at the restaurant between 1530-1630. Have a blessed day! Richard

    We stopped in for a bite and were immediately overwhelmed (in a good way) by how large the menu…read morewas--so we decided to start with two appetizers: the onion rings and jalapeño poppers. The onion rings looked great but definitely needed more seasoning and salt to bring out the flavor. The jalapeño poppers, on the other hand, were excellent--stuffed with a generous amount of cream cheese and served hot, which isn't always the case at other places, so that was a pleasant surprise. We'd heard the restaurant was known for their pizza, so we gave the house pizza a try. It was enjoyable overall, but it didn't come out well-done like we'd requested. I'm admittedly a bit of a pizza snob, with lots of solid pizza options back home, so while it wasn't bad, it just didn't wow me. The sauce leaned on the sweeter side, which isn't quite my preference, but the thin crust had a nice crunch to it. All in all, a decent experience with some highs and a few misses. If you like sweet sauce and crunchy thin crust, it might be right up your alley.

    THE FOOD!!!!! I…read moreordered through Door Dash to my hotel room so I don't have information about the location... and technically I don't have information about the staff. 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.

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!
