Best Restaurants with a Fireplace in Albert Lea

The food was fantastic all around! We got the grilled fish, the Redstone burger, and the baby back ribs. The ribs were literally to DIE for. And yes, I mean literally, not figuratively. The ambiance was also very pleasant! However the best part was the dessert! The chocolate cookie sundae was the bomb, the holy grail, the GOAT of all desserts. So delicious! I will be dreaming about this dessert for years to come. 10/10 recommend this restaurant.

We were a group of four celebrating a birthday. Food and service could not have been better. Thank you, Madison!

The food was very good - much better than expected. Well presented and nicely prepared. I especially liked the Eggs Benedict made with shaved ham, as opposed to a think ham slice. I felt like it was more digestable, enjoyable, and even flavorful. The Avocado Toast was also very good, with radish and cucumber slices mixed in. My wife enjoyed it very much. The staff were all very friendly, helpful, and nice. Really enjoyed the brunch, overall. Great neighborhood gem.

My husband and I met friends for happy hour Monday, November 11 - Veteran's Day. It was a preplanned event so didn't think anything of the fact that it was Veteran's Day.. I'm a veteran along with one other at our table. For veterans, everything but liquor was on the house. I honestly had no idea. We all shared the Thai chili sausage and pineapple flatbread, chicken artichoke flatbread and wings. My husband thinks the wings are THE best. Our server was Elizabeth, who was awesome. We were finished by 6:00 pm and the place was PACKED. We frequent Porter Creek as our go to spot to meet friends. They have a great happy hour menu and the food NEVER disappoints. Thank you to Porter Creek for your generosity for Veteran's Day.

Food was delicious and Emily was great! We will be back!
