Trent Jonas came to Minnesota to attend college - and never left. He's a Twin Cities-based writer with a BA in English and a MFA in creative writing, a Minnesota Master Naturalist, and the proud father of two adult children. With more than a decade of freelance writing experience under his belt, Trent is often out exploring his favorite topics: Minnesota's woods, lakes, and trails. Rhubarb pie is his weakness, so discovering new diners is also a passion.
You won’t find the best ribeye steak in the Land of 10,000 Lakes at a Twin Cities steakhouse or a North Shore destination restaurant. I would argue that one of the very best ribeyes in the state is at a hidden gem supper club in Minnesota, outside Pequot Lakes on curvy Crow Wing County Hwy. 39. All you need to do is try it, and I’m sure you’ll agree.
Norway Ridge Supper Club is a Brainerd Lakes area institution, but given its rural location, it's a bit of a hidden gem, as well.
The skilled bartenders make a mean old fashioned, which is my go to beverage at Norway Ridge.
It's the perfect preparation for the supper club's savory steak. And the 14-ounce blackened ribeye at Norway Ridge Supper Club is one of the best steaks I've had in Minnesota.
Like this 22-ounce, Frenched, bone-in beast: all juicy and meaty goodness.
And no matter what you order, be sure to order it with the au gratin potatoes. You cannot go wrong with those tasty taters! Chances are, as good as it is, most folks aren’t heading Up North just for dinner at Norway Ridge Supper Club. You’re up here for a little vacation, and if you’re looking for a vacation rental in the Pequot Lakes area, there are plenty to choose from. I really like this charming Lake O’Brien cabin rental, myself – and it’s not far from Norway Ridge!
