Lunch at the Red Stag Supperclub

Yesterday I had lunch with my mom at the Red Stag Supperclub, a restaurant in Northeast Minneapolis. They are open for both lunch, dinner, and weekend brunch, despite calling themselves a supperclub. I like that they have lots of local musicians come in to play. In the summertime they have a block party, with music, food, and drinks, which is always a good time. The food they serves is all local and/or organic. The interior and the food match in style. It rustic, but not boring. There's a funky, contemporary edge on everything you see and eat. Also, the wine and beer list is pretty extensive and carries a lit of local favorites that are hard to find.

For lunch yesterday, I ordered my favorite off the menu, the lobster egg salad sandwich with french fries and a side of garlic aoili. It's so delicious. The lobster egg salad is lighter than you would expect and is complimented by sliced avocado and greens on a sourdough bread. The fries at Red Stag are delicious. They have a malt vinegar seasoning on them, dusted with herbs and garlic. The salads at the Red Stag are also quite tasty. My mom had the grilled chicken cobb, which she enjoyed. My other favorite salad is the flat iron steak, which features a perfectly cooked steak on top of heirloom romaine, tobacco onions, sour cream, and a truffle emulsion. One other favorite off the menu worth mentioning is their spin on Mac & Cheese. This rich, cheesy dish also has lobster and grilled leeks mixed in. If you are ever looking for a place to eat in Northeast, put this place near the top of your list!
