Classic Minnesota Steakhouse Now Closing For Good
It’s a tough week for some Minnesota favorites. Just yesterday, I was writing about the end of Yelloh (formerly Schwan’s Home Delivery), and today, I’ve got more bittersweet news - another longtime local gem is shutting its doors for good.
For years, this place was the go-to for a cozy supper club vibe and unforgettable meals. The building itself has been a part of local history since the 1940s, back when diners would stop in for a bite, long before it evolved into the iconic steakhouse we know today.
The current owners took over in the 90s, turning the place into a successful upscale steakhouse. News of the closure was shared through a heartfelt sign on the door that read:
It has been our pleasure to serve our customers and this community for more than 29 years! You have been wonderful and want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making us your destination to share so many memories with.
Even the Mendota Mayor chimed in about the closing saying, "This restaurant has been a landmark and beloved local spot for years, known for its great food and atmosphere. It will be missed by the community and all the regulars who made memories there." According to Bring Me the News.
Axel's, previously known as Parker House, in Mendota will be closing its doors on September 30th, marking the end of an era that’s spanned nearly three decades.
