Skol Woodfire Grill Tavern - Albert Lea

It was OK ...I got the steak sanmmich . As you can see it's a 7oz steak on top of 4 pieces of bread . The brussel sprouts were decent . You look at the place and expect more . I would eat here again but order something else . Just kinda disappointed . ?

I think a lot of people must be hallucinating because I think this place is the bees knees! I was greeted coming in (15 min before closing mind you) and told how it works. I asked if it was okay to dine in and the woman was so gracious about it. 12/10 the best steak I’ve ever had on the road! Marinated ribeye is without question one of the best steaks I’ve ever had other than the ones I make at home. Max and cheese was nothing to write home about but it was good and not overcooked. Cornbread and diner rolls were great as well only qualm is they aren’t served hot but they taste great. The lady was so friendly she actually wouldn’t let me get my own drink other than the first time! Then again my bad leg and big limp may have had something to do with it. All and all I’d say NEW LEVEL UNLOCKED: NEW FAVORITE TRUCK STOP!!!

Pro tip ; there’s no at your table ordering here. First get your drink at the drink station, then pick your table. Then decide what you want from the table menu and go up to the register station to order, OR, go directly to the cafeteria style food counter and get what you like. Meats sold by the quarter pound so you can mix match. I strongly suggest look over both options for the most choices. Food is very good here. Holding back a star for poor signage explaining all this at the entrance, and worse, watching a lot of people just sitting down and waiting for a server that never comes, with no guidance from the employees. A simple sign at every table would fix this awkward problem.

OTR : Best stop I’ve had in awhile! Better than most homemade meals.Competitive brisket pork with hometown KC stuff. Spicy corn is great too! Wife got the cowboy Carl burger that was great as well. Friendly, fast, and much better quality than I’ve witnessed at truck stops.Will be returning every time I run this way!

Great food but horrible service. Nobody greets ya, let's ya guess to get your own drink and find a seat then sat for more than 15 min before the server acknowledged me or 3 other tables. Wasn't even busy either
