Suppose you have super cool Midwest relatives who are solid cooks, but also happen to be interior designers. Fireside would be their happy place. The walls of this mid-century-inspired spot are covered with warm wood accents, taxidermy, and vintage beer signs, with a menu to match. Fireside serves Midwest classics like tater tot hot dish, and fried walleye coated in Ritz cracker crumbs, which comes in either sandwich or basket form. You can also get tasty burgers and some decent Happy Hour deals (in general you're best sticking to the simpler dishes). And if you’re not hungry, just sit at the bar and order a Minnesota Mule.
