Fireside Restaurant in McGregor, Minnesota, has entered an exciting new chapter under the ownership of Ken Sizemore and Angie Johnson, the husband-and-wife team behind Angie’s Acres. When the opportunity to purchase the long-standing local dining destination arose, Ken and Angie saw more than a business acquisition—they saw a natural extension of their growing farm-to-table agricultural operation.

Founded in 2021, Angie’s Acres was built on a commitment to providing high-quality, ranch-raised beef and pork directly to consumers. What began as a personal mission for better food quality has evolved into a full-scale enterprise encompassing cattle production, meat processing, and direct sales. That same dedication to quality and transparency now extends into Fireside Restaurant, where the couple’s vision is to deliver a true farm-to-table dining experience rooted in trust, craftsmanship, and community connection.

Beyond Fireside, Ken and Angie continue expanding their agricultural footprint through USDA-inspected processing capabilities, regional retail concepts such as Palisade City Meats, and specialty offerings like The Cattle Woman’s Cut. Their work also supports local producers by improving access to processing, traceability, and distribution.

At its core, Fireside Restaurant reflects a simple philosophy: serve excellent food, treat customers with respect, and remain deeply connected to the community. With planned updates, expanded offerings, and a continued focus on hospitality, Fireside is positioned to remain a welcoming gathering place in McGregor for years to come.
