“Delightful!
I stopped in to deliver a poster for an event and stayed for breakfast.
It was quickly delivered and delicious!
I arrived at 12:20p, after the morning rush and enjoyed the ambiance, photos and taxidermy.
Playful banter among staff added to the light atmosphere.
I'll be back and send others. ?“

“Maybe you’re a porketta fan…if so, give their sandwich a try! Certainly the best I’ve had! I’ll look forward to their cookbook so I can have that recipe!“

“So glad this place exists in our community! The shows and art and movies are always great. I so appreciate the rotating mocktail options. The food is delightful and the service was amazing during my last trip. I was so impressed with the BLT. Thank you for being wonderful!“

“I love the variety and changing menu specials you provide. My only gripe is you no longer serve thc drinks for those that prefer that as an alternative. Thank you!“

“Stopped by after work on a whim. I normally frequent a different local spot but decided on a change. Service was above and beyond. Lisa was super friendly and accommodating. I got the spinach artichoke dip and it was super good, full of flavor and cheese. Definitely plan to go back!

Parking: BIG lot just across the street dedicated just for their customers.“

“Came in after nine to take advantage of the half priced appetizers, Decided to go with the Parmesan shrimp topped steak with garlic, mashed potatoes and broccoli. The presentation of the plate wasn’t the greatest I’ve ever seen, but the taste made up for it. The steak was cooked perfectly. I had ordered it medium rare, and the seasoned broccoli was very tender, and the garlic mashed potatoes were garlic mashed potatoes, nothing real special there, I sat at the bar, because I was by myself . My server was friendly and helpful. It was overall a good experience and I would come back again.“

“A shout out to Chris that remembered I liked Buffalo Trace and let me some had arrived. I asked so many times and they would always be out...I started to give up. Wow, so awesome when I least expected such a an act of kindness - Thank you“

“Food was awsome,wait staff was excellent, and was all around a great eating establishment. Will definitely return.“

“The food was SO GOOD! Nowhere to sit for 10 min, packed and loud, waited 30 min for food, but it was all completely worth it because the food blew us away. I was so impressed and our waitress was really nice.“

“I returned to the Applebee's recently, as my visit a couple of weeks ago had left a great impression. I take back my earlier comments about the service. I was left a bit confused this time. I ordered the "Big Cluckin’ Chicken Sandwich" again, and the food was once more, excellent. However, while taking our order, the waitress mentioned something about her shift was ending, which felt a bit off. Midway through the meal, I asked for more fries, and she brought them out promptly. But then she told me the special I’d ordered wasn’t available anymore despite it still being listed on your website.

I get it, the young lady serving us was ready to end her shift, but claiming the offer was discontinued left me confused and frustrated. I’m not sure if I’ll be back after this.“

“The food was great. The service was even better. Luke went above and beyond.“

“The food was Great We both had the grilled shrimp, salad,and baked potato Along with 1 bock beer and the bill was just under $50, to celebrate Mary's 73rd BD.“

“We recently ate there. It was our first time. The food was amazing and prices are very reasonable for the quality of food. We had Manda as our waitress. She was amazing!! Honestly the best waitress we’ve ever had!! She made our experience a great one! We will for sure be back!!“

“I camped here and check in and hook up went smooth. The porta potties were very clean.
We were in the lower area and I wish there was another shower/bath house. The one by the restaurant is pretty unaccessible to most of the campground. When I did use it it was clean and well maintained though.“

“Great food and service ever time we go there. I would highly recommend. Also best honey mustard I have ever had.“

“The breakfast crispies, scone, and cold brew were AMAZING! The crispy one I got was the sausage and I want to go back for the rest. Probably the best to go breakfast I have had in a long time. Super kind and quick service as well. Highly recommend.“

“Wonderful food, drinks & service! One of my favorite spots for breakfast & lunch!“

“Private party, so bar was closed off to public. Bartenders worked their tail off & still friendly and fast. We were 3rd & 4th person in line for food, which oddly was cold. Mashed potatoes were good but no gravy, butter, or anything (strange) to put on them. They did off barbecue sauce “

“Went to eat on fish fry night with family and had to stand until seats opened up. Fish was nice and not too hard, rather flaky. Most tables are high top. They do have handicap ramp but not a great seat up inside for it. They often have live music. My suggestion to the owners though is make the parking lot more than earth either gravel or pavement, also add more light at night. I'm glad my rents didn't slip on the icy mud and unseen ruts.

Parking: Ruddy earth parking but big. Muddy when wet.

Wheelchair accessibility: Have a ramp but most of the tables are high top.“

“Our server was fantastic! The food and portion size were perfect, the choices for brunch were amazing! We will definitely be back!“

“This is truly a hidden gem. Found it through a google search, as it was near a shop we were visiting in Hermantown. Unsuspecting on the outside, cozy warm and friendly on the inside. The food was great and the staff were too. Highly recommend.“

“food was excellent, as well as the service“

“Good time there this morning“

“Fun little county bar with friendly staff.“

“Sue is always full of warmth and love ready to spark up conversation. Her Gyros taste like a true traditional fresh shaved gyro. Every can of soda pop is ice cold. Her little corner is always clean and buzzing with chatter. 9/10 times I will take my kids here after shopping for a coney dog, per THEIR request. It's just THAT good.“

“Great food and staff there.“

“great food and definitely superb breakfast only one in town with grits“

“Michelle is great our food was amazing“

“Sorry, we have not eaten at the chalet, but it is so convenient for going skiing at Spirit Mountain. We noticed the other day almost every table was filled & our friend ordered a delicious wrap there. The chalet has many tables in an area away from thd restaurant, and big picture windows to view the ski hill. A woman in a wheel chair was sitting near thd windows & enjoyed watching the skiiers. I believe the lower challenge has better menu items and a nicer dining area to sit in.

Parking: There are handicapped parking spaces, but an uphill climb to the challet on a cement sidewalk. A person in a wheelchair would need some assistance.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, easy to get around with handicapped accessible bathrooms within the challet. Automatic door openers.“

“I've tried a lot of the dishes over the yrs and Never a bad meal!“

“The waitress was great. Food was good. Had a nice time with family.“

“The best Chicken Caesar Salad I’ve ever had! Period. End of story. (except please keep reading) I’m so happy I got to talk to the mastermind behind this dish (Brandon knows what he is doing!!!), because I wouldn’t normally order this salad. I usually find Caesar salads to be bland and boring. Not this one! Smoked bacon (made in house), croutons (made in house), plus a Caesar dressing that compliments instead of overpowering the salad - yes, again made in house. Then Brandon explained how he makes the chips in house (I won’t try to explain it, because I won’t do it justice), but just know that it is like a chip and a waffle fry had a baby, and these chips are the wonderful, delicious outcome ~ light, but flavorful! A must order!!! The cherry on top was the great service. Cathy was a fabulous bartender and server! She was welcoming from the moment I sat down, and was attentive, without being overbearing. She also made great cocktails! Overall, The Shack was a wonderful experience, and I look forward to coming back on a weekly bases while in town for work. They apparently had a rough go during Covid, but Brandon (& others) have been working tirelessly to improve things, and I’m definitely impressed! I recommend you give them a try as well!“

“Local Duluthian. This used to be a family favorite spot, it felt like a "Special" place to go. We rarely come here in recent years. The last few times its clear how run down this spot is becoming - you have such a great location, beautiful view of lake superior, tourist hot spot ... but its sad how run down its becoming, carpets, worn down booths. . . . Leaving this review to try encourage owners to put a little pride back into this restaurant and do Duluth Proud.“

“Blackwoods catered my son’s wedding yesterday. Overall we would recommend them, but there were a few glitches. The tablecloths we picked up from them the day before the wedding were the wrong size and, despite being sealed in plastic, there were quite a few set in stains. I phoned and left a message about the issue, and no one bothered to return my call. Not a promising start. On the day of the wedding, the staff arrived on time, and everything was set up and ready to go as planned. For the most part the food was good, but the ham was awful. It was tough and the pieces were cut into huge chunks, many of which were full of fat and gristle. We had people who normally love ham refusing to eat it. Since it was one of the main dishes, the ham was a huge disappointment, especially for the money paid. The turkey, however, was moist and tasty. The staff members were helpful and professional. They willingly boxed up leftovers for the wedding couple, which was much appreciated, and they left the church kitchen clean.“

“Beef Power Bowl and Turkey Dinner: Absolutely delicious! Great food, great service, great staff! ?“

“I used to work for this place and it was so charming and beautiful. I remember being the host and it was so fun to see everyone. This restaurant deserves 5 stars. It is run by the most talented goddess there ever was. Allow her to truly shine and oh please don’t be afraid to ask her questions you’ll know her when you see her. Love and light always.“
