Minnesota has a thriving culinary scene, especially around the Twin Cities metro. Here, hundreds of restaurants offer up all different foods from around the world. It’s fun to explore both the established and the up-and-coming restaurants all around the Twin Cities. But this region isn’t the only place in Minnesota to get amazing food. Today, we want to head down south, into Minnesota’s Bluff Country, to get a taste of what everyone down there is talking about: the wood-fired meat at Smokin’ Oak Rotisserie & Grill. Sound good? Read on below to learn more.
Smokin' Oak Rotisserie & Grill is a popular restaurant in Red Wing, Minnesota. Nestled into Minnesota's Bluff Country, this town makes for a lovely getaway for those in search of beautiful natural areas, local shopping, and excellent restaurants like the Smokin' Oak.
Then, you'll enter the dining room. It's simple and cozy, with friendly servers there to welcome you and ask questions. Anywhere you go, the scent of delicious roasting meat fills the air.
When it comes time to order, you'll be greeted with a menu full of amazing options. Many enjoy the rotisserie chicken. You can get a platter, which comes with 1/2 a chicken and either mashed potatoes and veggies or baked beans and coleslaw. Yum! You can also try the rotisserie chicken on sandwiches, salads, and more.
Many diners also enjoy the ribs. They're fired over wood until they're full of fall-off-the-bone flavor. You can get ribs as an appetizer or order a rack with beans and coleslaw. There are two choices: dry rub and coated with BBQ. Both are outstanding!
If chicken and ribs aren't your things, what about steak? Each steak is first slow-roasted as a whole loin over a wood fire on the rotisserie. Then, they are cut to size and grilled on a wood-fired grill. Each steak dinner comes with a choice of potato and garlic bread. You will want to come back again and again for this special meal!
