New Restaurant Coming to Kasson, Minnesota

As for the new restaurant coming to Kasson, it's called The Kickback. It seems like it's going to be a fun spot, it gives chill, 'good place to hang out' vibes. But it's a bit mysterious.

First of all, when one of my co-workers stopped by the other day, the windows were all covered.

Second, I can't find anything about them online. No Facebook, no website. I reached out to the owner as well and haven't heard back. So unfortunately I don't know when they'll be opening.

What we do know is that it's clearly under construction. I also found an LLC registration on Bizpedia under "The Kickback LLC" with the address 408 W Main Street, Kasson, MN, so it's coming! The LLC registration wasn't filed that long ago, on December 27th, 2023.

We also know that it's in the former Smiling Moose location on Main Street in Kasson.

If I hear back from the owner I'll update this post. Hopefully, we'll be able to go grab a drink at The Kickback soon!

All 37 Minnesota Restaurants that Have Been Featured on the Food Network

Many Minnesota restaurants have been featured on the Food Network over the years. Some have closed now, but I checked out the Food Networks website, the Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives website, and TVFoodMaps.com to find all of the Minnesota restaurants that have been featured on their channel in the past and found these 37 (in no particular order) that are still open.
