There aren’t a lot of places to eat in little Mapleton, MN (pop. 1,763). In fact, your only choice may be the Windmill Bar and Lounge on Highway 22, and on a Saturday, you’ll have to wait until 5 p.m. for the kitchen to open.
Once it does, though, it serves the purpose. This is not your fancy decorated fine dining. It is, as the name implies, a small-town bar and lounge. There is plenty of seating, free popcorn, game activities, a few tv screens, and if you’re staying away from the chain-names, it’s a good choice.
The menu points out the owners are Tami and 9 Toes, but doesn’t provide the details on the Toe reference, which seems to be obvious. You can “toe-size” any burger, and the prime burger choice is the Toe Burger – already upgraded in size with additional toppings including jalapenos. There are plenty of non-burger choices as well.
Unless you want to drive 20 miles to Mankato for more choices, when in Mapleton, blow in to the Windmill.
