Our 1st visit and we’d definitely return. Yummmmmm.

Fast Friendly & Attentive staff! Really tasty eats! Watched Bakd Eagles soaring over the lake.

Read, Hanish Bakery bun on menu. Next day we stopped there in Red Wing.

We appreciate the heads up on Hanish Bakery!!!!

Excellent, thoughtful service. The jerk chicken tacos with pineapple had a great blend of spices. The coleslaw was fresh albeit a tad mayo heavy but the hot honey mango margarita totally made up for it.
Will come again.

Will start with: Waitress was great. Sadly, she had to serve subpar food. The two medium burgers were tough hockey pucks and looked like they had been charred to death. The lettuce was old and it was garnished with one single solitary thin piece of red onion. Pathetic.
The crispy chicken sandwich was flat as a pancake and appeared to have been run over by a dump truck. It was tough & over smothered in cheap BBQ sauce. Then, it was supposed to come with lettuce and tomato, it did not. Must have forgotten the basics. It came with 2 tiny little onion rings and no ranch or blue cheese….they forgot one, both or either…
The garlic fries of the past are now just thick cut fries with some garlic salt. They’re not what they used to be.
The menu is not worth the drive anymore.
Great location, very friendly waitress, sadly the food was made without care or love or pride. Just bad.

We were here, February 1, 2026, Swan watching an eagle watching. My wife had the shrimp special which was really jumbo shrimp excellent. I had the salmon and it too was excellent. Great food all the way around I accompanied mine with the left-hand brewery stout, perfect match smooth dark beer.
A great place to eat with great food.

One afternoon while having lunch I found myself seated on the open patio of Reads Landing Brewing Company enjoying the panoramic view of the mighty Mississippi. A restored historic, two-story store front building on the Great River Road with unobstructed view of the river and its seasonal boaters in the summer and eagles in the winter. Indoor seating with tables and chairs, bar seating on hardwood floors, tinplate ceiling and the traditional beer signs and historical framed photos lining the walls. Outdoor patio with a pergola, ceiling fans, metal patio tables and chairs and vintage beer signs. Menu offers a selection of locally produced fish, poultry and meats, soups and salads and a line of craft tap beer. Local grain is milled on-site, not just for beer but for their burger buns. My Jerk Chicken Tacos came with two nicely filled flour tortillas with pulled chicken tossed in their home-made jerk seasoning covered with a pineapple, cilantro salsa, shredded lettuce and a creamy sriracha sauce. A side of fries and a pickle slice. Presentation was simple, food delicious with a slight kick and service commendable. Prices seemed a bit high for a lunch menu. Warning to those, like myself, wishing to wonder over to the lakeside that the tracks you cross can be busy at times. Take caution.

Reads Landing Brewing is a great little brewery. They have been in a historic building right on the Mississippi for about 12 years and kept all the old charm from the pressed tin ceilings to the bar top. They have a great patio with a beautiful view of the river. I stopped in to try their beer. They had 5 of their brews on for my stop. The porter was easy drinking with a little bitter. The hazy IPA was good but still hoppy. Their kolch was straight up good and smooth. The pale ale was on the bitter side of pale but still still on the mark for the style. The IPA itself I found less bitter than the pale and really liked it. I did not have time to stay for food but they have a full menu and the dishes looked good. The bar tender was very friendly and ensured that I promised to be back…that was going to happen anyway. I suggest you try this little brewery…and the food.

Stopped in after a morning biking on local trails.

The location is fun. As noted by others, the patio offers great views of the river. We got a beer and burger. Burger was cooked to order and tasty. They seem to be trying for more of an upscale presentation so I had anticipated House cut fries rather than frozen, but they were pretty good as well. I got an IPA and my wife got a wheat beer. Both were quite nice.

I’d for sure swing back by if I was in the area.

Absolutely amazing food. Highly recommend the shrimp and grits, scotch eggs are the best I’ve ever had. Jerk chicken tacos were ok. Service was super friendly. Food was quick. The only complaint is that the restaurant was loud and hot.

Our server was friendly, attentive, and prompt. The restaurant was busy, but the food arrived quickly. My wife enjoyed a pub burger and fries, while I savored a crispy BBQ chicken sandwich and potato salad. The hefeweizen beer was refreshing, too.

The big 1873 photo on the wall features the restaurant as it looked in 1873.

Great spot right on the river. Great selection of drinks and food. We ordered the breaded catfish and the Southwestern Chiken Sandwich with fries. Both were great but shockingly the chiken sandwich was perfect! It was a crispy, and juicy, and I had bacon and onion crisps in every bite. I wish I would have gotten a different side beside the fries because when you compare them to the sandwich, they don’t measure up. Wonder spot, and I will stop by again! They have outdoor seating, which has a great view of the river, and they also allow dogs in the outdoor seating by the picnic tables.
