“Super impressed with the food and the wait staff. First time at Duluth Grill and already looking forward to coming back soon.“

“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! It was so good! Especially after a long walk around town! I highly recommend if you're looking for a nice spot to unwind and be in a great atmosphere!“

“Excellent fries. Hot crispy on the outside & soft inside. Hubby lives the Cony dogs. I will try them next time. Cute decor . Reminds me of the 59's.“

“Delightful!
I stopped in to deliver a poster for an event and stayed for breakfast.
It was quickly delivered and delicious!
I arrived at 12:20p, after the morning rush and enjoyed the ambiance, photos and taxidermy.
Playful banter among staff added to the light atmosphere.
I'll be back and send others. ?“

“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.“

“Our bartender Ayla was amazing! I've never been served by such a sweet girl, very welcoming with quick service! Absolutely no complaints, will be coming back for sure!“

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

“Incredible place. Super warm and cozy. Very kind staff. They had vegan cheese which no one ever has!
The omelet was bright and colorful & my partners cowboy hash was so flavorful. Adding to our list of favorites for when we travel back!“

“So glad this place exists in our community! The shows and art and movies are always great. I so appreciate the rotating mocktail options. The food is delightful and the service was amazing during my last trip. I was so impressed with the BLT. Thank you for being wonderful!“

“Food and service was great!“

“First time stopping in at the Gopher. We went to meet with some friends to play Friday evening bingo and was surprised by how good the food was. The beer battered fries were outstanding, as well as the chicken wings. Our friends got the flat bread and onion rings. The place was packed for bingo, but our server Lisa did the best she could, and we had a great time.“

“Good food! Never had a bad meal.“

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

“Absolutely recommend this place! They have the most amazing hummus and pita combo! I love that they are unique and different from your average food truck! Will definitely be back to try more. ☺️“

“I returned to the Applebee's recently, as my visit a couple of weeks ago had left a great impression. I take back my earlier comments about the service. I was left a bit confused this time. I ordered the "Big Cluckin’ Chicken Sandwich" again, and the food was once more, excellent. However, while taking our order, the waitress mentioned something about her shift was ending, which felt a bit off. Midway through the meal, I asked for more fries, and she brought them out promptly. But then she told me the special I’d ordered wasn’t available anymore despite it still being listed on your website.

I get it, the young lady serving us was ready to end her shift, but claiming the offer was discontinued left me confused and frustrated. I’m not sure if I’ll be back after this.“

“The food was Great We both had the grilled shrimp, salad,and baked potato Along with 1 bock beer and the bill was just under $50, to celebrate Mary's 73rd BD.“

“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.“

“Been here a few times lately and have noticed a consistent high quality of food being put out! Hoping to check out their fish fry soon!!“

“The pizza was delicious couldn’t stop eating it and the cheesy garlic bread plus the food came really quick the service was really good served really quick was checked on two or three times very friendly and the atmosphere was nice and inviting“

“First time stopping into the Fall Inn, we randomly decided to check out somewhere new. We typically enjoy a county bar type atmosphere and the Fall Inn didn't disappoint!

What we didn't realize, was the kitchen was closed. Not skipping a beat when we asked for a menu Austin whipped up our food. The food was delicious our crew got a couple of Western Burgers and a Southwest Wrap. Everything was delicious! I had the wrap, chicken was juicy and fresh, bacon was crisp and flavorful, plus delicious onion rings.

Some extra positives, cold glasses for tap beer and pull tabs. Forgot to take pictures as we were all pretty hungry when we got here.

We will absolutely be coming again!“

“Best brisket ever eaten! The service was great, food was amazing, my drink= delicious! We will be back again!“

“The best eggs benedict I've ever had!! Kudos to the cook! So good! Great bartender too! Can't say enough good things about this place!“

“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 :)“

“Amanda has been great to us through every visit!“

“I've tried a lot of the dishes over the yrs and Never a bad meal!“

“Beautiful golf course, setting and views.“

“Excellent service and great food!!“

“Private party, so bar was closed off to public. Bartenders worked their tail off & still friendly and fast. We were 3rd & 4th person in line for food, which oddly was cold. Mashed potatoes were good but no gravy, butter, or anything (strange) to put on them. They did off barbecue sauce “

“While our food was good, we were a party of 8 and apparently they are unable to seat a party of 8 all at one table, though no one told us that when we checked in. Would've been nice to know.“

“We had a great first time experience at the Two Harbors location this wk! We ordered take out and the wait was worth it! Fresh and hot food and decent prices too. The corn bread was amazing!!! We will definitely be back!!“

“Corktown provided box lunches for our group of 45. They were great to work with and the food was outstanding! Delivery was prompt and courteous. Did I mention the generous portions? Everyone raved about the meal. I would highly recommend.“

“Love the Tappa Keg Inn!! I love the old time charm, friendly (and fast!) staff, and the food!! My favorites are the pork chop special on Tuesdays and the hot beef sandwich. The number one favorite is the Friday night prime rib. Tender and flavorful!!“

“This is truly a hidden gem. Found it through a google search, as it was near a shop we were visiting in Hermantown. Unsuspecting on the outside, cozy warm and friendly on the inside. The food was great and the staff were too. Highly recommend.“

“Sorry, we have not eaten at the chalet, but it is so convenient for going skiing at Spirit Mountain. We noticed the other day almost every table was filled & our friend ordered a delicious wrap there. The chalet has many tables in an area away from thd restaurant, and big picture windows to view the ski hill. A woman in a wheel chair was sitting near thd windows & enjoyed watching the skiiers. I believe the lower challenge has better menu items and a nicer dining area to sit in.

Parking: There are handicapped parking spaces, but an uphill climb to the challet on a cement sidewalk. A person in a wheelchair would need some assistance.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, easy to get around with handicapped accessible bathrooms within the challet. Automatic door openers.“

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

“Sue is always full of warmth and love ready to spark up conversation. Her Gyros taste like a true traditional fresh shaved gyro. Every can of soda pop is ice cold. Her little corner is always clean and buzzing with chatter. 9/10 times I will take my kids here after shopping for a coney dog, per THEIR request. It's just THAT good.“

“My Grandkids Love going there to Eat. I have been taking them there for Years. It also has a nice View of Lake Superior and, the High Bridge. Access to the Board Walk.“

“Beef Power Bowl and Turkey Dinner: Absolutely delicious! Great food, great service, great staff! ?“

“Great views, Excellent Breakfast, Decent Prices - My teens and I loved it!“

“Good time there this morning“

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

“My daughter and I ate for Eat Downtown. We both had Clam Chowder, and Chicken Tetrazini and Cannoli. The service amazing and the food spectacular. I will definitely visit it again! Thanks!!“

“Cranberry Bacon Bleu Salad:

( nice selection of dressings)
Hand-seasoned, grilled chicken breast and pieces of bacon plus a generous helping of dried cranberries and savory bleu cheese crumbles on a bed of mixed greens with cucumber slices, and grape tomatoes.“

“Delighted with the service, the restaurant is what it is, and does it PERFECTLY. 10/10 recommend, so long as you have realistic expectations.

Kid-friendliness: It's a more family friendly sports bar, so exercise your best judgement, but I would have no issue taking my kids here.

Wheelchair accessibility: It is wheelchair accessible.“
