Open for Dinner

  • '''Pedal Pushers''' (breakfast, lunch, & dinner)
  • '''Rhino's''' (lunch & dinner)
  • '''Old Village Hall Restaurant''' (dinner only) [http://www.oldvillagehall.com website]
  • '''The Vintage in Lanesboro''' (dinner only) The Vintage Restaurant in downtown Lanesboro is a cultural dining event that features local meats and seasonal produce. In 2008, The Vintage Restaurant constructed its own garden in an empty lot next to the restaurant to provide the chef with fresh vegetables, fruit, and herbs. This is truly a farm to table dining experience great for theatre patrons or anyone interested in having one of the best dining experiences of their life.
  • '''Riverside on the Root''' (lunch & dinner) Casual dining with good-sounding, but bland-tasting, thus over-prized entrees with rushed and slightly grumpy service, role-modeled by the owners. But the location and atmosphere is grand (if you can get a table on the river patio or balcony) and if don't have too high expectations about food quality and service, it's worth a visit [downtown, 109 S. Parkway Ave]
  • Other Dining

  • '''Das Wursthaus''' (closes at 5 PM)
  • '''Pastry Shoppe''' (closes at 4 PM) A pastry connoisseur's dream come true. Pastry Chef Brett and his capable kitchen staff transform high-quality ingredients into delicious taste explosions. Never has sinning felt so good. Lanesboro's best-kept lunch secret. Incredible value for the money. Seats 25 and he and his crew also do wonderful catering. [downtown, 202 Parkway Ave, next to the Mane Theater]
  • '''Chat 'n Chew''' (closes at 3 PM) A traditional, old-time breakfast and lunch diner with the charm of fair-priced standard American fare with varying degrees of service quality. [7 min. walk from downtown, 701 Parkway Ave]
  • Drink

    Three bars & saloons cater to the needs of the thirsty:
  • '''Root River Saloon'''
  • '''American Legion'''
  • ''''''
