I really wish that I would have tried this place on one of my previous trips. I was impressed by the quality of service and food. They had several vegetarian and vegan options. We enjoyed it so much that we went there for dinner again last night. We never go to the same place twice while in town. 😋 I will definitely go there when we return.

The service was slow and not super welcoming. We were told there was a wait even though there was nobody waiting and there were open tables. The hours were limited and closed too early on a Saturday. The food was good.
After trying several spots in the area, this was our favorite. Great food with plenty of options and specials. Our waitress was fantastic—attentive and friendly. The window seat was a bit chilly, but the view made up for it. Highly recommend!

Always a stop when we visit Grand Marais. Great beer selection. Good food. Live music. Just try not to sit by the door. It gets drafty...

The BEST bloody mary’s…a good place to land after a long day in the woods or if you’re just hanging around town. Food and staff are A+. Frequent visitor to Grand Marais and I make sure to stop here a couple times each trip. Cheers!

This place had ups and downs. The Cuban was one of the best I've ever had. But no French fries. No frier. The wings weren't very good at all. The server was really nice and cute. Over all I would eat here again. Wouldn't order the wings.

It was the perfect stop for a bowl of soup and a beer after hiking all day!
Solid walleye sandwich and in house made kettle chips. Cool north shore atmosphere. Friendly and attentive staff. Check out the vintage phone booth by the bathrooms.

I was so excited to be able to return the the tavern for dinner last. ..but alas the meal was very substandard. I ordered blackened walleye. The last time I had the walleye it was a nice fat fillet done perfectly! This time it was a tasteless overcooked thin fillet! It was not worth $27. The server did take off $13.50. It will be hard to return again. What has happened to the great tasting food?

Gratuity was added to my bill when we were only a table of 3 and all posted warnings are only for tables of 6! I had stopped in here while camping. We were told it would be a wait to sit and we agreed. However, once we sat down, it took anyone 15 minutes. Yes 15 minutes to come and make contact with us. My sister had ordered a beer and after getting about halfway through realized the glass was covered in a foggy film inside. The same was true for all of our water glasses. Now for service. Our waitress was nice, however, the service was horrible. She dropped our food off and then 2 minutes later came back to ask if we were okay. After that we never saw her again. Our water was all completely empty. When we were in the middle of eating we actually saw our server leave the place, her shift was probably over which wasn’t the problem. The problem was that no one came by our table again. I had to go up to the bar to ask for the bill. There was only three of us at the table, and usually I am very very understanding of servers and restaurants because I also work in a restaurant but this was a horrible experience. Come to check my bank statement today to see that there was gratuity added that I did not add myself. Keep in mind we were a group of three and their posted warnings are only for groups of 6 or more for the automatic gratuity….

We were told by a local to go here for good steak We waited at the door behind 2 other couples ahead of us , finally seated after 45 mins to find out they don't serve steak and items on the menu wall were out. Ordered off a menu, bangers and mash, and it came burnt and not tasty. The host and waitress had terrible guest service left there, disappointed

TALK ABOUT FLAVOR ORGASM!! We are a seasoned family and love flavor this TOPS THE FLAVOR CAKE! just stop and eat do not look for any other restaurants in the area. We took a drive from Blaine up to the boarder stopped here for dinner what we had was Maui Waui sandwich and honey glaze Cajun walleye dinner. Although my fiancé did not care for the sweet and spice of the walleye he said the Cajun kick was good and the fish was fresh the dinner came with an amazing side salad and he also got this chicken wild rice soup. YALL THIS PLACE CAN STAY OPEN just off the soup! I am mad I will not find another place like this in Blaine. So good!! Just stop.
