I had a great time on my visit. The service from the team was great and they were very attentive.

Local on North has a great diverse menu that is unmatched in downtown Duluth. Great beverages and service. I wish the ribeye special was a regular menu item.

I was there on September 2 at around 6 o'clock. There weren't many people there. Our serve was absolutely fantastic and I'm really sorry. I can't remember her name. But she was great. The food was good and the portions were immense.

We went out to celebrate a friend's birthday (party of four). The food was excellent, and service was fine overall—until one incident that left bitter taste in my mouth. We ordered a bottle of wine with four glasses, while one friend ordered an Old Fashioned. When Eric (or Erik) brought the wine, he presented the bottle only to our two friends—not to my husband or me. When my husband questioned this, Eric said he assumed we weren't going to drink. That explanation doesn't hold up—we had clearly requested four glasses. This was not just a small oversight. It was a presumptive and dismissive act that singled us out. The only difference between us and our friends was that my husband and I are not American. We both speak fluent English, but even if we didn't, making service decisions based on appearance or assumptions is inappropriate and discriminatory. I called the restaurant at 9:40 p.m. and spoke with the manager, who was professional and attentive to my concerns. I appreciate that, but this behavior from a server in one of the most diverse counties in the state is unacceptable. I have requested a formal, in-person apology from the server and will provide an update after tomorrow. Experiences like this remind us that bias—whether conscious or not—still exists, and hoping businesses take responsibility to ensure every guest is treated ********** We were there on Sunday (8/10) around 2:30 pm to avoid any peak hours, and Erik took the time to sincerely acknowledge how the situation made us feel. Both he and the manager took the opportunity to read my review and showed genuine effort to understand our perspective. The conversation went very well, and it was clear that our feelings were mutual. We appreciate their commitment to service

The beet salad is the best! Always great service and great food. LON has become one of our regular dining spots.
Dalton
Inside of restaurant could use improvements for ambiance, but everything is top notch for a meal.
Ann
Seated inside in the corner- tables are a little close together but food and service were great -would go again.
Jim
New policy of charging a 3% for credit was a real turnoff To makes matters worse they charged tax on the added amount Not a big amount but annoying.
Dawn
Cynthia provided excellent service while being very upbeat, professional, and friendly. She was very busy and the food took quite a while to come out. Chicken pieced added to salad were overcooked and the french fries were cold, but she quickly go out steamy fresh fries. Hey, not every visit can be a five star every time...but she took care of us, and that's what counts.

Food was terrible! The burger was unflavorful and made me sick
We love Local on North. The food is always great and their cocktail menu is creative. Service is good and we love ordering the muscles and their truffle fries are awesome!

Some dishes are well-made (e.g., butter chicken, biryani), while others are forgettable. Polite but slow, especially during peak hours.

Local on North has cracked the code for running a reliable restaurant. Since moving to Duluth 3 years ago, we have visited dozens of times and have had only good experiences. The menu is varied enough to satisfy the tastes of our large family. The food always tastes good and is priced fairly. The drink prices are more than fair, and they make good cocktails. The staff, without exception, is professional and courteous. The Sweet Thang Salad is a perennial favorite. It is our go to spot, and we are there at least once a month. We are proud to have Local on North in our neighborhood. Keep up the great work!

We had an 8:30 pm appointment we made online at Opentable, not knowing the restaurant closes at 9pm. Although the staff looked disappointed at first, they did not rush us too much. The food was good and worth the visit.

Love this restaurant. My boyfriend and I came in our first date here so it was nice recreating that moment again. The food was great and our waiter was good vibes from beginning to end
