Nice place. Hubby enjoyed his food and so did my son. I was not a fan of the wings. Not what i expected. Ice cream cones were amazing.

I chose this place for dinner because it offers a pet-friendly outdoor seating area. What I experienced was delicious food, great conversation with strangers, and a unique spot to get a bite to eat. You can order inside or go to a window by the outdoor picnic area and order food through a window. I had a great time and I hope to go back soon!

Parking: Parking is behind the establishment. Decent size lot but might be small for large trailers, campers, or boats.

The burgers were garbage, fries were soft and hardly crispy. All three us were horribly disappointed and upset.

The atmosphere is your ma and pa place, it's probably look like that since it opened. But it doesn't matter what it looks like, the food is awesome and the best burgers ever and the best crunchiest TATER TOTS IN MINNESOTA and then if you dip them in their homemade ranch dressing it's even better! And we can't forget the barbecue ribs OMG!

BBQ sandwich was cold, the french fries were hot, and this venue is very Northern Minnesota. We will be returning next season for fish.

The Salty Dog is one of our favorite places up north. We look forward to going each time we are at our cabin. Check before you go for open times; I suggest you call and not rely on Google or internet for hours.Burgers are good but I prefer the pulled pork sandwich. They also have a grilled prime rib special now and then. We caught it once and it was out of this world. They also have frosty mugs for tap beer, although the servers should always go to the bottom for the most frozen mugs!We hope they remain open for a very long time. Such a gem!
