“Zen House has the highest-quality Japanese food I've had this side of the Pacific. We don't realize how lucky we are to have this restaurant in our community. 20 years I've been enjoying their food -- I hope I've helped put someone through college or somethin'. 😆 Please keep doing what you're doing! It's perfect.”

“Wild Sate has delicious cider and is an inclusive space. A local gem for sure.”

“I grew up in the 90s and ate here all the time with my Mom, it was great then and it is still great now! Now I get to bring my daughter and recreate memories with excellent food and excellent service. THANK you for keeping timeless menu items and DELICIOUS ice cream! 😋 This is our go-to restaurant every time we are in town.”

“I’m always impressed with the staff here at Sir Ben’s. Even when there’s a huge crowd, they do the most to make sure guests are happy. The food is great too. 10/10 stars. :)”

“Another amazing meal to celebrate a friend’s birthday (Anne). Niki was our server and from the moment we arrived (90 minutes before our reservation time) we had excellent service and advice. The wine was outstanding (and a bonus, it was Wednesday half price wine day). Split by 3 a bottle was ideal. Anne had the smorgasbord which was a visual sensation and exploded with delicious flavors! Lynn had the beets followed by the asparagus and egg sandwich. All of it was a delicious treat. I had the curry mussels with a side of fritas and as much as I wanted escargot I was full and content. Oh but the cream brûlée shared completed our meal.”

“First time in Duluth. Ursa Minor was recommended by a local business associate. Slow on a cold Monday evening, but felt welcomed and right at home.”

“Chachos is the best! Their food and flavor is SO good! The chicken molé bowl is my absolute favorite.”

“Always enjoy visiting Vikre and having a cocktail or two. Staff was very friendly and helpful. I got a flight of their amaros and digestifs. Kinda weird but it was really fun to try them as a mini cocktail. My friend got a negroni and enjoyed it very much”

“Let’s get real… I stopped in to check out the Pharm Juice Bar in Duluth today. I selected an açaí bowl that felt interesting and asked about the granola because sometimes granola has nuts in it and I have a nut allergy. The gal behind the counter kindly let me know it contained almonds and offered to leave it off—great, awesome! My bowl ended up coming out with the granola. Mistakes happen BUT what matters is how you react. My fiancé kindly let them know we had ordered the bowl without nuts. He picked up on my exhaustion right away. The gals working there were amazing! Not only did they correct the mistake, they also went above and beyond to make it up to us. Having a food allergy is exhausting, but it’s great to know there are awesome places like this willing to go the extra mile to make it easier. Plus this açaí bowl was AMAZING!! Seriously, go check them out! All my love—Alison”

“amazing service and food!”

“Great Harvest is always so kind and when the knead their bread you can tell that they really work hard. Their food is probably the best thing I have ever tasted.

“Haven't been here in years!! Finally got the chance to come back! I was trying to decide where to eat and chose Pickwick! (After a rather unpleasant interaction at another restaurant) I am so happy the staff treated me with kindness and respect! Their service was phenomenal and I loved everything I ordered!

“Weakest drink of homegrown, having ordered the exact same thing everywhere I went. Having been a bartender for years myself I’d suggest some training for the staff. Doesn’t need to be extra strong, just adequate. You should taste the liquor.

Service was totally fine on a busy night. Kudos to the staff. I’m sure it was stressful.

Shoutout to Boxcar, they lit the place up.

Edit: added a star for the response from the business!! Again shoutout to the staff”

“Honestly, this place deserves 10 stars! My wife and I had reservations for our 15 year wedding anniversary and wow did they go above and beyond!! They had the most delicious food and my wife who has celiac disease had so many options to pick from for food. They made our night so special and I was beyond impressed. We were both brought to tears from how friendly and kind the staff were. 10000000% recommend to anyone and everyone!!! Thanks so much again - Brandon and Julie :)”

Great view of Lake Superior, cool model train running through the building… if you’re local you already know, if you’re a tourist add it to the must eat list.”

“Bent Paddle lives up to its reputation as a great brewery! They have a wide variety of excellent beers to choose from and their large but comfortable taproom was on our trip itinerary...it did not disappoint.”

“Cookies are delicious! Service is awful: please train the employees to at least acknowledge customers with some kind of greeting. I asked one employee about a certain flavor of cookie, and he literally said "I don't know." and walked away.”

“Absolutely amazing food and service. The cheese curds were definitely some of my favorite ones I’ve had.”

“Corktown is my favorite place to meet friends before theater nights. I love their food choices and have never been disappointed. Many different and fun choices. Service has always been great. Thanks for coming into this neighborhood.”

“Hands down great experience. The wings were SO meaty and delicious! Night Manager hooked us up last minute with some great recommended food. 100% recommend!”

Will be ordering it a lot!!”

“I never come to Duluth without stopping at Vitta’s. Simply the best pizza around.”

“We ate brunch here on a day when they were short handed in the kitchen. As a result our food took an exceptionally long time to come out. Our waitress, Maria, brought us coffee and water and kept us informed. The food was delicious. We had omelettes and crispy hash browns and it made up for the long wait.”

“always great food and great service with a clean and ambient atmosphere all at a very good price”

“Last night the Buffalo House hosted our company Christmas Party. I can’t find the words to tell you how amazing it was! All of our guests are still raving about the food today! It was delicious, timely, and there was plenty! Our bartender was so fun, and made the night even better. The facility is beautiful! It was clean, well set up, and communication was simple and care free! Thank you to all the amazing staff, and facility.”

“This place just makes wonderful beans. I visit Duluth every year at summers end and swing by. This year I picked up three bags of their light roast and it is wonderful. It’s not cheap, but it’s good, the people are awesome, and you’re supporting a local small business. That’s American.”

“Delicious coffee, wonderful pastries (especially the almond croissant), and the best macaron I've ever tried. We will be back!”

“The atmosphere and drinks are incredible, but the staff is also super friendly and helpful! I especially love the assortment of various goodies and treats available. You can just tell their team puts a ton of effort into their space, products, and events. Such a cool spot! Bonus points for their involvement in the local Excalibur Con, which we learned about through their many announcements - we attended and had an amazing time there too 🙌”

“BEST matcha ever!!! And even better is their amazing staff. Couldn’t love this place more. 💗”

“I love working here!! Have to have a sandwich every shift!”

“My husband and I have stopped here a few times while in Duluth. The food is good and the service is excellent!”

“Chipotle is the undisputed champion of family dinner in our house—mostly because it’s the only place on earth where all seven of us can agree on food and it's healthy and as affordable as anywhere. You gotta respect a place where dinner can be as healthy as a high-protein workout bowl or as gloriously unhinged as a burrito the size of a sleeping bag, depending on how your week is going.
This particular location is definitely on the cozy side, though the outdoor seating gives you a nice escape hatch if space gets tight inside. The service and general friendliness were pretty middle-of-the-road—the team was operating on standard, clock-in-clock-out autopilot—but they got the job done. It didn’t break any customer service records, but the food hits the mark, the price is right, and our streak of peaceful family meals remains unbroken.”

“Are food and drinks were great! Enjoyed our server, Joseph M.he did great and has a great personality!”

“Great service! Very generous portions. The fried rice was delish! I had the sweet and sour chicken and had lots of fresh veggies and fresh pineapple in it. Would easily serve 2 people. Will definitely return ❤️ the new restaurant on London road is beautiful and lots of parking.”

“First time in Duluth. Ursa Minor was recommended by a local business associate. Slow on a cold Monday evening, but felt welcomed and right at home.”

“Went to this location to see if they had a certain happy meal toy for my son and I so we bought two happy meals! Entire staff was very accommodating and the food was great! The premises was clean and clutter free, and will definitely go back!”

“Ordered nachos from you guys through door dash my husband and I have to say amazing job loved it thank you”

“We ordered takeout and had it delivered to our hotel. It came super quick. We ordered the salads with crispy chicken. They were absolutely amazing. Love the pretzel knots too!!”

“I haven't eaten at BU since the change in ownership, but I use to order with my co workers all the time in past years. (almost religiously lol)
I decided today to order delivery and got The Maverick burrito (because they no longer have the burrito I really loved) When it was delivered and I took my lunch it looked great! They remembered to remove the jalapenos from my order (thank you!) however it is supposed to have a chipotle sauce on it as well and mine did not have ANY on it. So it left the burrito just...meh. It was good but very bland and semi dry without the sauce.
It was a sad disappointment because I was hungry and couldn't finish it due to the blandness of it.
It's not a deal breaker, I will probably try it again someday but ordering after not having BU for YEARS it was bit of a disappointment.
Delivery isn't the quickest but the driver was super nice and polite, next time I will order and pick it up because I can get it way faster that way than delivery. I am still giving it a four star because, hey things happen but I sure wish that sauce would have been on it because I bet it would have been even better!”

“Cookies are delicious! Service is awful: please train the employees to at least acknowledge customers with some kind of greeting. I asked one employee about a certain flavor of cookie, and he literally said "I don't know." and walked away.”

“We had a great stay with an outside hot tub & indoor pool and absolutely the best surf and turf fine dining we’ve ever had! We will definitely be back, Thank you Silos!”

“Been here twice from out of town and both times we were unable to visit the kitties probably won't try visiting a third next time we are in town. Service and drinks are great though.”

“I stopped in for a latte and a sandwich yesterday and both were handcrafted and perfect. The environment was whimsical and warm, and I didn’t want to leave! I can’t wait to come back.”

“great Chicken, just the right amount of heat on the Nashville hot and the whaaat sauce is delicious.”

“Playing golf on the sims is super fun! There are also tons of other games… hockey, baseball, bocce ball and even zombie dodgeball. HUGE TVs to watch your favorite games. They have a great deck that the locals don’t want you to find. If you’re hungry who doesn’t love a Heggies pizza or a hot dog “at the turn”! Free parking in the Fitger’s ramp (park in the lower level and walk straight in) Last but not least I hear they might be getting F1 simulators 🤫”

“I visited their stand at the jackpot junction tattoo convention in Morton MN, and bought their 'Pineapple Paradise Green Tea', along with some freeze dried dog treats! I was so surprised when I first tried their sample of the Pineapple Paradise, because it tasted exactly like Lipton tea! (my favorite btw) obviously I had to buy some for myself lol. my dog also LOVES the freeze dried dog treats not only that, they are so affordable for being organic treats! definitely recommend them!!”

“Godfather's has been my favorite since I was a little kid. Lots of fresh, flavorful veggies, lots of cheese, somehow not super greasy. No locations where I live now, so I'm always excited when I get a chance to have it. This particular pizza was even better than I remembered”

“Angel was Excellent as our server. Very kind and professional and attentive. The food was good, but not spectacular. Too much gristle/fat in my spicy pho order and the chili oil side dish was questionable as far as being fresh.”

“Me and my bf had just gotten the most amazing cinnamon buns from there and a 🍓 drink but we really wanted to acknowledge the worker there Cesar thank you for the great customer service and hospitality”

“Fresh, hot, and really good! The smell drew me in before we saw you! Yum yum yum!! Loved the variety and the little pretzel wrapped hotdogs and buttery pretzel bites were delish!!”

“Food is amazing I love the variety of bowls as I am on a strict diet.”

“Nice spot to eat something quickly. Fast service and nice sutomer service in general. Ice cream was super good and brownies were hot when they came to our table! Enjoyable experience. Dessert was slightly expensive but nothing too out of reach”

“I go there 1 or 2 times a week never had an issue with the speed. Until today. At 1130 I went up and ordered a brownie she gave me my table tent for it and sat down your lunch rush came in and was served there food came out in a timely manner. at 1145 still waiting for the brownie. at 12:00 I finely waved mg table tent which got a mangers attention but he got pulled away and sent someone else else to.see what I needed. it shouldn't take us to flag someone down to get a brownie. you guys where having an off day today I guess”

“We ordered delivery around 6pm.. the food was delivered quickly, it was hot, the chicken was crispy and juicy. This is the best experience I have had at this location in Duluth MN since I have been here visiting. Usually it is hit or miss, but roday, spot on!”
