Food was horrible. Fish fry was sold out. Shrimp fry was terrible. Got 5 tails that were less equivalent than a gas station grade. Chicken strips were even worse. This place just sucks!
Bartender was rude, ordered something off the hot drinks menu and he refused to make it. Found out it was the owner. Only had one waitress on a Saturday. Took forever for the food, half of it was cold, and forgot one persons food. Then someone cranked the music and we could not even have a conversation. I felt SO bad for the waitress, she was running her butt off. Do not recommend. Waited almost two hours from start to finish.
Friendly locals. Definitely felt welcome and the food was amazing! 20-30 minute wait and that was when they were very busy.

We ordered a burger, a philly cheese steak, and a chicken sandwich. Burger was clearly from frozen and seemed small and storebought, bun seemed cheap and storebought, fries were tasteless, also clearly from frozen and had the texture like they were microwaved. Mother-in-Law kept asking if her chicken sandwich had real chicken as it tasted overly processed, like the meat of a super cheap chicken nugget. My partner did not get his philly cheese steak, instead he got the wrong sandwich and drink. He corrected the drink, but gave up on the sandwich which tasted very gritty and gross.
All of this was $86.
My burger here was $17. A much superior and tasty burger at Biwabik Pizza Company is about $15 and is much larger with fresh fries and real non-frozen meat and large patties. If I drove to Duluth to 7West Tap House, I could get a massive burger with two patties, toppings, bacon, and fresh fries for $14 dollars.
Even if everything was half the price, I still wouldn't come here.

The atmosphere was good. Service was challenging. Food absolutely horrible. We asked for medium rare and were told it was up to us. Not only did it come very dry and unfavorable, bit it tasted like a dirty grill that was way over cooked. It was not 1/3pound. French fries were boring. Food warm. It was not busy and we had a long wait.

All of the food was great, except the special, which was a chicken Philly. The chicken was so dry it made me choke. The bartender was excellent. The only weird thing was the cook coming out and saying that the boss left, so he was closing the kitchen. It was 7:30...

I waited just over 2 hours for my food. I know they’re busy and I think they may be understaffed which I don’t hold against their servers. However what I do hold against them is that a table of 4 came in after me and not only was served first but got their food, and paid and left long before I got my food which I did not understand. Also a guy came in after I ordered, was served and got his food still before I did.
I don’t know. Maybe they just got confused by the amount of people but it was a really unpleasant experience and I wish I had gone somewhere else.
Great time as always!

Nearly empty establishment, and still waited over an hour for food. Staff wasn't attentive. This has happened every time we've been here over the past year.

A group of us came in and the service was terrible. We waited 15 minutes before 1 of us went up and ordered a drink. Still took a while to get it. We ordered food, waited and waited table next to us came in and got their food before us. Walked up to bar to get another dink and bartender had an attitude. We got our soup and it was cold not even warm. Another guy got his food and the baked potatoe was hard and cold. Manager did come and apologize which was very nice, but we were all hungry. Sad deal.....
Fun and welcoming bartenders. Delicious food served at the bar.
