Definitely don’t get takeout; your food will be freezing cold. Also the quality to price ratio is insanely bad.

After spending few weeks in MN finally i decided to come to Duluth and found this place on Google. Servers were pretty welcoming and knowledgeable about what they are offering here, food was tasty and definitely a big portion than what i expected. Nice bar setting with being heavy on whiskey choices (which is absolutely normal at smokehouse) high ceiling walls and creative art on them. I ordered bottle of wine from Ca and it was decent and half order St. Louis Rib which it was delicious and unfortunately i didn’t have enough space to eat other sides.
They also offer house sauces and my favorite was Alabama White BBQ.
I would love to come back again.

I am copying and pasting this review because it is about the Duluth Grill Family of restaurants we visited, specifically the Duluth Grill, Burger Paradox, and OMC Smokehouse. All of them were fantastic, and all of them are owned by Tom Hanson.
Tom, I am convinced you are an alien. Your food is so delicious, and so unique. Even amongst your restaurants. Each had its own distinct vibe and flavors. They should all be on DDD.
Please open restaurants in the Twin Cities so I can eat your food more readily. Also, if you are an alien. Which, let's face it, you are. Please take over the world through the restaurant industry. We would all thank you for it.

The Smoked OMC Plate, catfish, coleslaw, jalapeño grits, mac and cheese and drinks were all delicious! Possibly the best ribs we've ever had. Kileigh was a friendly, wonderful, attentive server. Will definitely return!

I felt like a cartoon character being drawn in by the seductive aroma of smoked meats. The food is incredible and the service was outstanding. The fries are made the way God intended. I would eat here everyday if I could.
Food was AMAZING. We got their special of the month the Catfish Po Boy with a side of Hush Puppies, a Korean BBQ Chicken Sandwich with a side of Beans, and Peach Cobbler for dessert. Everything was 10/10. Friendly and fast service. They have some amazing BBQ sauces too! We bought a bottle to bring home with us.

Not from around here but way to expensive for what you get. 8 Oz of brisket for 30$? I get a pound or more for the same price back home. It was fine but for sure not worth the steep price.
UPDATE: Drove 2 hours and 15 minutes to get brisket today STILL AMAZING. Anyone giving this place a bad review is just a crotchety unpleasant cermudgin. Adnan is the absolute best! Thanks again for a great dinner!
Hands down the best brisket I have ever had, at a restraunt, with service to match. I can not speak highly enough about this place and the people who work there. The cheesy jalapeños grits and the beans are great complements to the brisket.

We had two bad meals. The sides were fine, even tasty. But the brisket I ordered was one small slice and the fattiest piece of meat ever put on my plate. It was bland and I couldn't eat more than two bites. Definitely don't order the brisket. My husband's pulled chicken sandwich had bones in it. He eventually decided to give up. The waitress came and brightly asked, "Everything okay?" An astute waitress would have seen all the food left on our plates and asked if anything was wrong. She didn't clue in. Just whisked the plates away from the table. We just wanted to get out of there and not engage in lengthy explanations of what was wrong. They weren't busy at all (12:30 pm on a Sunday). Would never go back there again.

We were told this was the best place in Duluth to eat. So we came in. The menu says everything is smoked fresh. The food either sat and waited to be delivered to our table; or it is truly not made fresh. I ordered the plate adding pulled pork. We couldn’t eat the pulled pork. After mentioning to the waitress she said it was not made fresh. It was so soupy, and gross tasting. Our meal came with two sides; they were not even hot. The Mac & cheese was not even warm enough to melt the cheese sprinkled onto the noodles. The chicken on our plate was so cold. I refused to even eat it out of fear of getting sick. The brisket was not trimmed for fat at all. So it was a cold blubbery mess. The only hot item we ordered and was actually HOT was the chicken sandwich. Which my daughter said was very dry, no flavor, and “meh” tasting. The grilled cheese off the kid menu also was not even hot enough to melt the cheese. We also ordered the beef fat fries - unfortunately they were also cold. No flavor. The seasoning on the table doesn’t help when they are cold when they arrive. Nothing to soak the seasoning into. I would recommend anywhere else aside from here. The food is not made fresh. After the waitress confirmed we were not the only ones whom complained of cold nasty food. She confirmed it was not cooked fresh. It was frozen and re heated.

Would definitely recommend to anyone in the area. The atmosphere was lively, decorated well, clean, and inviting. The food was phenomenal, both main entree and sides. They offer bottled sauces and seasoning mixes, as well as branded clothing items for sale as well. The location is right in the heart of downtown Duluth, so there is street parking, but it is walkable to many shops and other areas of interest.
