It seems every region of the United States has its dining traditions, such as Tex-Mex in the Southwest and all the deliciousness of Low Country cuisine in South Carolina and Georgia. In the Upper Midwest, a supper club represents the region’s quintessential dining experience: steaks, fish, chops, and strong, classic cocktails in an upscale-casual setting that smacks of the mid-20th century. Few spots exemplify this tradition as well as Wiederholt’s Supper Club, one of the best restaurants in Minnesota.

Wiederholt’s Supper Club, located between Miesville and Hastings, has been satisfying customers for nearly a century. In fact, this Dakota County institution attracts a clientele that travels from across the Twin Cities and throughout the state.

Like many supper clubs, the bar at Wiederholt’s is a comfortable place to rub elbows with other customers while waiting for a table or to belly up for a meal.

And the bartenders, of course, are adept at making old fashioneds, Manhattans, and other classic cocktails. You’ll also find a solid selection of wines and beers.

Are there other restaurants in Minnesota like Wiederholt's Supper Club in Hastings, MN?

Wiederholt's Supper Club in Hastings, MN is, of course, in a class by itself, but there are several other restaurants in Minnesota that we love and that exude the same classic supper club charm. Here are a few of our favorites:

The Branding Iron in Preston, Minnesota. This popular spot in the charming Bluff Country town of Preston has been serving up classic supper club fare for more than half a century. It's a traditional dining destination for folks from all over the southeastern part of the state.
Norway Ridge Supper Club in Pequot Lakes, Minnesota. For folks who live or vacation in the Brainerd Lakes area, there may not be a better place for steak than Norway Ridge Supper Club. In fact, I would put its ribeye against that of almost any other restaurant in Minnesota.
Vermilion Club in Tower, Minnesota. Speaking of ribeye steaks, if there's any place that gives Norway Ridge a run for its money, it's the Vermilion Club on the south shore of Lake Vermilion near Peyla (or Tower, technically).
Ettlin's Ranchero in Webster, Minnesota. If you like a supper club with a German twist (and a Spanish name), head to Webster, where you'll find Ettlin's Ranchero. There, you can order anything from filet to hassenpfeffer - and enjoy one my favorite relish trays in Minnesota while you wait.
Ely Steakhouse in Ely, Minnesota. If you find yourself in the great Northwoods, be sure to make a stop at Ely Steakhouse. This hidden gem is an eatery that belongs on your Minnesota dining bucket list.
