Rustic Irish pub built in memory of great grandma’s Irish hometown pub. The quaint atmosphere is unbelievable! It’s like a trip over to Ireland and that’s right in Northern Minnesota. If you are lucky, you will get Heather as a waitress! Her friendliness and humor is quite the treat.
We tried two different appetizers. First was stuffed mushrooms: mushroom caps filled with maples seafood stuffing, baked in wine and butter and creamy parmesan sauce.
The second appetizer we tried with seafood skins: a Mabel’s original appetizer of four large and crafted potato skins loaded with baby shrimp, crab meat, cream, alfredo sauce, and mozzarella cheese. Baked to perfection and topped with sour cream.
The velvety beer cheese soup was smooth. Going down with full flavor in it. Perhaps the best beer cheese soup I’ve ever had.
Fun fact: they make their own homemade dressings. Come and get a pint to go!
The prime rib melted in your mouth with the creamed homemade horseradish and au jus sauce. Unbelievably delicious. The broiled shrimp was perfectly seasoned with a butter sauce. For a side we tried both the loaded baked potato and garlic mashed. The garlic mashed potatoes were super garlicky and better than the loaded baked potato, but not by much.
The broiled walleye was lightly seasoned and flaky. With a side of steamed broccoli made for a perfect dish. Perfectly prepared.
The fiesta salad was a delicious taco salad. Not only did it have guacamole and sour cream among the other normal taco salad toppings, it was also served with Mabel’s homemade salsa!
The dessert was a salted pretzel bottom with warm to brownie, topped with ice cream, caramel and chocolate. The warm brownie was tantalizing with the ice cream to melt in top…YUM!
Strawberry cream cheese topped with whipped topping and shaved white chocolate made the perfect ending for dinner.
Love for traveling, food, and whiskey
