We were still in Detroit Lakes, MN for a few days and were looking for a bit more upscale experience. The Fireside Supper Club is right along the lakeshore with a view looking West. The building has that "up north supper club" vibe. When we stepped out of the car we were met with the smell of the grill at work. I thought, "this is going to be good!". Once inside, you forget that it's late afternoon on a Sunday. Time travel to a different day. We were set up in a large booth. It was in the Northwest corner so we had corner windows looking out on to the lake. The sun was already on the descent. We ordered drinks and a cheeseboard. Their title included Steak House so, why not try the burger? Sunday night is burger night making it an even easier choice. I got the Fireside Burger which included fries for $16. The sun set as we dined. Beautiful.
Burger talk. My first bite didn't hit me the way I hoped it would. Maybe the cheese board had my buds off course a bit. Then, the second bite. Much better. A different kind of seasoning than what I'd expect. Not as "pepper" based. Still good. Cooked right.
Rate it: 4 of 5. Atmosphere helps. They had it in spades. Overall, I can't say I was crazy but still a very good burger.
