“Amazing service this morning! All staff was kicking it! Great teamwork, great food! And that’s coming from a fellow Chef!!!“

“The gyro’s are excellent. The feta is spectacular. Authentic spanakopita. The coneys are the bomb. Kids love the malts. It’s a favorite of the family. Won’t break the bank!!“

“Always an amazing experience and great food. Their stuffed mushrooms and peelin shrimp are always a great choice of appetizers and the main courses are excellent, especially the steaks. Never walked away disappointed and the staff is always courteous and kind.“

“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.“

“This is my favorite breakfast/brunch in Duluth. I feel like breakfast can be hard sometimes, but not here. Multiple labeled vegan options and the waiters are accommodating and helpful to veganize other items. Vegan baked goods are delicious too.“

“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!“

“Maybe you’re a porketta fan…if so, give their sandwich a try! Certainly the best I’ve had! I’ll look forward to their cookbook so I can have that recipe!“

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

“I love the variety and changing menu specials you provide. My only gripe is you no longer serve thc drinks for those that prefer that as an alternative. Thank you!“

“Stopped by after work on a whim. I normally frequent a different local spot but decided on a change. Service was above and beyond. Lisa was super friendly and accommodating. I got the spinach artichoke dip and it was super good, full of flavor and cheese. Definitely plan to go back!

Parking: BIG lot just across the street dedicated just for their customers.“

“Food and service was great!“

“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. ☺️“

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

“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 SO GOOD! Nowhere to sit for 10 min, packed and loud, waited 30 min for food, but it was all completely worth it because the food blew us away. I was so impressed and our waitress was really nice.“

“The food was great. The service was even better. Luke went above and beyond.“

“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.“

“Great food and service ever time we go there. I would highly recommend. Also best honey mustard I have ever had.“

“I camped here and check in and hook up went smooth. The porta potties were very clean.
We were in the lower area and I wish there was another shower/bath house. The one by the restaurant is pretty unaccessible to most of the campground. When I did use it it was clean and well maintained though.“

“I want to THANK both Alisha and Todd for everything they did for us. The food is great and the atmosphere is welcoming!! If you ever get the chance to go there you wont regret it!! 1000%!!!!“

“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!!“

“It was a great place to spend Valentine’s Day dinner! The fish fry is the best in town, the red pepper juicy Lucy is cooked to perfection! The specialty drinks were my favorite part! The service was excellent! Great job everyone!“

“Sammy's pizza is a local legend for a reason.Because this pizza is LEGENDARY!Sure, there are gobloads of good pizza choices in the Northland, and it's always fun to try the rest, but you'll always come back to the best. SAMMY'S!

Parking: Ampke near the door free parming.“

“Went to eat on fish fry night with family and had to stand until seats opened up. Fish was nice and not too hard, rather flaky. Most tables are high top. They do have handicap ramp but not a great seat up inside for it. They often have live music. My suggestion to the owners though is make the parking lot more than earth either gravel or pavement, also add more light at night. I'm glad my rents didn't slip on the icy mud and unseen ruts.

Parking: Ruddy earth parking but big. Muddy when wet.

Wheelchair accessibility: Have a ramp but most of the tables are high top.“

“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 “

“Doing great during the John Beargrease Dog Sled race start. Plenty of Bloody Mary mix and hot chocolate all around served at the bar. Thanks guys!“

“Excellent service and great food!!“

“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.“

“Our server was fantastic! The food and portion size were perfect, the choices for brunch were amazing! We will definitely be back!“

“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.“

“food was excellent, as well as the service“

“Beautiful golf course, setting and views.“

“Great location. Great people. Beautiful lilacs.“

“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.“

“Good time there this morning“

“Local Duluthian. This used to be a family favorite spot, it felt like a "Special" place to go. We rarely come here in recent years. The last few times its clear how run down this spot is becoming - you have such a great location, beautiful view of lake superior, tourist hot spot ... but its sad how run down its becoming, carpets, worn down booths. . . . Leaving this review to try encourage owners to put a little pride back into this restaurant and do Duluth Proud.“

“Great food and staff there.“

“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 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.“

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

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

“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!!“

“I used to work for this place and it was so charming and beautiful. I remember being the host and it was so fun to see everyone. This restaurant deserves 5 stars. It is run by the most talented goddess there ever was. Allow her to truly shine and oh please don’t be afraid to ask her questions you’ll know her when you see her. Love and light always.“

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