The Red Door

07/18/2026

🎡 It’s the last day of the La Porte County Fair… make it count.

The Ferris wheel will stop turning, the lights will go out, and another Fair Week will be in the books. Before summer rushes on, treat yourself to one last taste of everything that makes this week so special.

We put our own Red Door spin on fair favorites, and today is your final chance to enjoy them. Whether you’ve been craving our Gluten-Free Funnel Cake, you’ve heard everyone talking about the Steak Sandwich or the Blackened Steak Tacos, or you’ve been looking for an excuse to try our refreshing Spicy Watermelon Margarita, this is the day.

After a day at the fair, skip the crowds and settle in with a handcrafted meal, a cold drink, and a little air conditioning. Or start your day with us before heading to the midway ~ we’re happy to be part of your Fair Day tradition.

When the fair gates close tonight, these features will be gone too.

Come make one more summer memory with us at Red Door. ❤️

🎡🌞 Fair Week is in full swing, the temperatures are soaring, and we know exactly what you’re craving…

Funnel Cake! 🤤

Skip the long lines, the blazing sun, and the crowds~ we’re serving up our own Gluten-Free Funnel Cake right here at Red Door! Crispy, golden, dusted with powdered sugar, and every bit as satisfying as your favorite fair treat… without having to fight for a parking spot. 😉

Because sometimes the best part of Fair Week is finding all the fun… without the heat. 🎡❤️

There are some meals that make you stop talking for a minute.

The kind that arrive at your table still sizzling… everyone looks over… and you can’t wait to build that first perfect bite.

Our fajitas are here, and they’re everything they should be ~ hot, colorful, packed with flavor, and made to share… if you’re feeling generous. 😉

Then comes dessert.

We’ve been working on something we’re really excited to share: our NEW Gluten-Free Vegan Chocolate Cake. We wanted to create a dessert that didn’t feel like a compromise, and we think we did just that. Rich vegan dark chocolate, hazelnuts, walnuts, dates, tofu, and vegan yogurt come together to create a cake that’s incredibly decadent, unbelievably moist, and completely gluten-free and vegan.

And if you’re in the mood for something cool and refreshing, our No-Bake Strawberry Cheesecake is pure summertime on a plate. Light, creamy, and topped with sweet strawberries, it’s the perfect way to end your meal.

Good food has always been about bringing people together. We’d love to save you a seat this week.

Who’s joining us? ❤️

You know that feeling when you walk into a restaurant planning to order one thing… and then the server tells you the features?

Yeah… this is one of those weeks.

Maybe it’s the creamy potato soup with bacon that starts it all. Or maybe it’s the ahi tuna burger with crunchy Asian slaw and just enough sriracha aioli to keep you reaching for another bite.

Then again… the steak and chicken fajitas have been making everyone turn their heads, and those stuffed peppers? Comfort food at its finest ~ whether you choose the classic beef version or our house-made vegan option.

And if you’ve never had our salmon arancini, this is your sign. Crispy on the outside, creamy on the inside, packed with roasted garlic, basil, and mozzarella. They’re the kind of special you wish we could keep around forever.

Of course, our Pear & Prosciutto Salad, Beet Salad, fresh Stir Fry, and Fish Sandwiches are all making an appearance this week, too.

Then dessert shows up and suddenly all your good intentions disappear.

Cannoli Cake. Lemon Tiramisu. Strawberry Cheesecake. Apple Peach Crumble. Honey Cake. Baklava. Carrot Cake. Even our new gluten-free, dairy-free vegan chocolate cake with coconut and hazelnut.

So… who’s coming with you?

Tag the friend who’s always willing to split dessert… and then somehow orders one of their own anyway. ❤️
