Angry Trout Cafe Reviews
The fresh fish was amazing and the staff was very friendly.
What a lovely place on the beach! Get on the wait list for your meal early, and bring your sweater to enjoy a spot on the deck!! The food was amazing and the specials had local fish to try. Staff were so friendly and their front end lady was so friendly and kind to my children! The outdoor beach area with a drink while you wait is lovely! You've got to try it here, no regrets, and hope to be back! Purchased a few little souvenirs and we love them!
Excellent food, just excellent.

The Angry Trout Cafe is a popular spot for both locals and visitors, known for its fresh local seafood, incredible salads, and beautiful lake views. This kid-friendly restaurant is on the nicer side, making it suitable for special dinners. The menu features mouth-watering dishes like the Fish and Chips basket, which is always cooked perfectly. Customers have praised the use of fresh and local ingredients, with some dishes, such as the vegan mushroom and roasted vegetable plate, receiving high praise for their flavor. The cafe offers several flavors of house-made sodas, adding to the cozy atmosphere that feels like a family potluck. The food is served quickly, and the restaurant maintains a focus on supporting local farmers and fishermen. While prices are around $20-$30 per person, the quality of the food and friendly staff make it worth it. The restaurant is completely wheelchair accessible, with no stairs or thresholds, and a large bathroom. Some guests noted that the open kitchen layout affects the ambiance, as it is visible from the dining area and requires going through the kitchen to reach the back room. Recent reviews highlight the quality of the fresh food, especially the grilled whitefish, and the scenic views. Several guests appreciated the gluten-free options and the spectacular maple mustard dressing, which was used as a dip for fries. Service is generally good, though some noted long waits for seating. The location offers a nice view over the water, making the experience more enjoyable. It is worth mentioning that the bill automatically includes a 20% tip. However, outside seating is not dog-friendly, so visitors with pets should choose another area. Overall, the Angry Trout Cafe remains a favorite destination in Grand Marais for its great food, welcoming atmosphere, and community focus.
