Trail Center At Poplar Lake

Will be back

If you are looking for a no frills but tasty meal, this is the place! We came in for lunch. The staff was super friendly. The food came out quickly which made me a bit nervous at first but our food was perfectly cooked and delicious. Prices were very reasonable as well.

Great food and service, I'll be back.

Food delicious. Bloody Mary even better. Spicy with a slice a bacon on point.

Food was amazing! We had the bread pudding French toast and the trail skillet, both were amazing and got us fueled for a good day even though it was very rainy. Decor was super fun. Store had things you may forget or run out of, like bug spray and mosquito nets. Also great hoodies and shirts for purchase.

Always a great spot for dinner. Walleye was delicious with a great crust. Grab a shake or malt to go when you leave!

The food was absolutely amazing. Had the new jalapeño cheddar burger. Slices of homemade loaf of whole wheat bread with diced jalapeños baked in. The patty itself was cooked on high heat - seared crispy outside and juicy pink inside. The sautéed onions with jalapeño cheddar pan grilled to a crisp. An absolute amazing sandwich.

The only downside to my visit was that the server forgot our drinks. Wish I couldve washed that burger down with a good beer, which their selection is local and should've been highly refreshing to go with.

Would definitely recommend, even if my drink was forgotten.

Thanks to Sarah. Love the grits. Never had a bad meal here.

The food and service are amazing! Every time I stop there to eat, it is a wonderful experience. So delicious and the staff is super friendly. They have a wonderful gift shop that captures the gunflint trail. From camp chow to pb&j, they have you covered to keep you fueled up and ready to explore!

I haven't stayed here, but I always stop by the restaurant. Great food and fun atmosphere! There's always some interesting souvenirs in the gift shop/store too.

We go every year, great food, awesome owner and lots of hiking etc

A little pie for traveling around the trail 😋

Your Fish n' Chip is great and your tarter sauce is FLIPPING AMAZING. The whole infrastructure for past COVID policies with the curtains and what not can go. Seriously. Get rid of that crap. It takes away from the up north ambiance of the place.

Nice stop on the Gunflint Trail.

Had the Fish and Chips, huge portions, could have easily split it.
