BBQ Mac w/Brisket
Phil L.

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.

Philly Mac

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.

The service was wonderful and the food tasted great! Would definitely recommend if you are craving some hot Mac n' cheese.

Pizza  Mac and Cheese
Gita B.

Yes! This place lives up to all the hype. If you like noodles and company, try this place for a much fresher, more flavorful, elevated upgrade to your usual noods. Walk right on by the not-so-freshly baked bread next door straight into Let Me Cheese U. You will not be disappointed. I had the pizza Mac and cheese. It's exactly that- all the best supreme pizza toppings mixed with cavatappi noodles and cheese. The dish was enormous- enough for leftovers! The ordering process for pickup is so smooth. There's an online order system but I called in. They offer curbside pickup. It looks like there a couple of seats outdoors to enjoy your delicious meal (unsure about inside). Can't wait to come back and try more!

10" pizza w/Beyond sausage & Violife vegan mozzarella ($15). Excellent crust, nicely done.

Watch your receipts. Agreed to 37 dollar charge but charged my card 44.00. Fraudulent boosting the bottom line

This is my wife's "favorite fast food in Red Wing." We almost always go for the gyros, but their pizza is terrific too.

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. ;)

I was really excited for some midwest bbq and came here on a whim because it was next to our hotel…read more There was a spot roast in the front with some brisket which really set an exciting mood. 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.

My husband wanted fish fry on the last Friday of the official Lenten season. We decided to try out…read morethe Bierstube for the first time, and I'm glad we did! 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!

Small town bar doing its best. Service was attentive and friendly. Definitely a neighborhood bar…read morefeel. Burgers and such were good, my grilled chicken and asparagus was edible. 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. Still more options than an average corner bar, but most of their german food is no longer available. You will not be disappointed by their drink specials.
