Eat & Tell: Where to Eat in Afton Alps

Q: We’re doing the Warrior Dash at Afton Alps in July, where should we go for a huge meal afterward? We’ll be slightly dirty and very hungry, so not too fancy please.

A: Well if you manage to clean up a little bit, you might want to try Current in Afton, it’s a modern American joint that will give you a nice variety of creative but unfussy food: pork tacos, turkey burger, beef short rib. But if you’re looking to stay a little grungier, keep driving up the St. Croix Trail to Beach Club Bar & Grill where they have outdoor volleyball, plenty of motorcycle parking, and an affordable menu of basic grub that includes beer battered onion rings, stealth fries, and a beach burger with smoked bacon and cheddar.
