Driving east from the small community of St. Leo, Minnesota (population around 100), you’d be forgiven to think that you wouldn’t encounter much along the road. But keep your eyes peeled – about three miles east of St. Leo, you’ll come across a low-slung, unassuming structure with a sign that reads “Family Bar & Grill.” This, dear readers, is the Greendoor Steakhouse and Sports Bar, and believe me when I tell you that this small town restaurant in Minnesota is worthy of a road trip – no matter where in the Land of 10,000 Lakes you’re coming from.

Nor will you leave this roadside eatery hungry! Be warned though: Reservations are highly recommended. Give the restaurant a call at (320) 669-1470 to book your table. If you want to check out the vibe, visit Greendoor Steakhouse and Sports Bar on Facebook. You’ll also find some information on the restaurant’s website. Since you’ll be in the western part of the state anyway, be sure to pay a visit to Granite Falls and take a stroll across its historic pedestrian bridge over the Minnesota River. Lac Qui Parle State Park is also nearby – only 40 minutes or so from St. Leo.
