2024 Best of Lake Erie: Apps
Every plate at Red's Lakehouse in Marblehead, Ohio, offers a delicious bite to share with friends.
Opened last summer in Marblehead, Ohio, Red’s Lakehouse has a menu that’s just fancy enough for food snobs and just simple enough for locals. While entrees like perch ($25) and chicken paprikash ($27.50) are good, it was the appetizers that won us over. Walleye bites ($14), fried pickles ($11) and buffalo wings ($13) aren’t unexpected in these parts — and Red’s versions deliver. Pierogi ($12) are a nod to one-hour-away Cleveland while the sesame seared tuna ($16) provides a safe place for those avoiding the fryer. But our favorite is the fried burrata ($12) served with marinara and sourdough bread. Your best bet? Go with a group after a day on the lake and order them all.
