Fast a great food

When my husband and I travel we always like to find little mom and pop shops and restaurants to go to.

We were looking for somewhere to go for a lunch/brunch and this is where we ended up picking.

It's a little confusing when you walk in and are told to seat yourself and don't understand that there is additional seating in the back past where the wait staff filled drinks and do the dishes.

When we first walked in we were not greeted by anybody and we had two or three staff that walked by us when we were sitting at the table before anybody brought anything or explained to us how the ordering would work.

We weren't sure because there was no menus anywhere and nobody was coming to our table.

We ended up ordering the chicken fried steak which was very good and the hash browns and the eggs were all cooked perfectly. We didn't care for the pancake. There was something that was added to it and we couldn't figure out what it was exactly and we were thinking maybe cinnamon but the texture of the pancake was also very off-putting.

If we're in Duluth, we would give it a try again to try something different on the menu. I would just maybe recommend explaining to people how it works with your seating and make sure that people are being greeted by staff.

There was staff that was sitting down at tables talking to people that were in there and goofing around and I feel like if they maybe put a little more work into waiting on tables of their customers instead of casino with the people that they know people were probably feel more welcome.

We had a server at a restaurant in Eau Claire; WI recommend Uncle Loui's to us when we told her we were traveling to Duluth. So, we decided to have breakfast there and are we glad we did!! Breakfast was awesome and the service was outstanding. I highly recommend if you are in Duluth.

I was having a good day until I ran into the owner Debra who was also our server. She was rude. Threw our plates down in front of us. It was NOT a good experience. The service did not match the food quality. When we come up to Duluth we frequent Uncle Louis cafe. This was an awful experience. And embarrassing to see the way Debra treated not just our table of guests, but others as well. I was surprised that there wasn’t a line out the door when we arrived. I can see why now. Again. Service was terrible.

(*update*) Get ready for this one...
It's still Ah-mazing! The food, service and atmosphere, all still fabulous!

It was hot and ready shortly after my arrival. Just as tasty as I know it to be!
My lovely waitress was very jovial, as i always find her.
*Fun fact: no take out in weekends. 😁
Also, it IS still possible to get a full meal for under $20! The BEST part is, it's delicious too!

Ate here twice while vacationing in Duluth. I was very pleased with both of my meals. The biscuits and gravy I had the first day were amazing. Then I just had to come back to try the French toast. It did not disappoint! I got the stuffed French toast with strawberries, and it was amazing! I was also very impressed with the service. They were busy, yet I still got waited on and got my food rather quickly. If you’re in the Duluth area, I would highly recommend!

First time eating at ULC and even though we had to wait about 10min for a table to open up the food was good great prices our waiter was fast and efficient. Would definitely go back again.

The food was excellent; wish I could say the same about the staff. The guy behind the counter was quite rude to the point that he caused a group to leave before they had even taken their seats. Our waitress was unpleasant and seemed like she’d rather spit in your face than smile or be polite. The man refilling drinks and assisting the waitstaff was nice.

Absolutely love this restaurant. We stop here for breakfast every time we are in Duluth. Great pancakes and French toast. Large portions of fruit toppings. Friendly staff.
