“We ordered doordash at work. And i got the oriental chicken salad. Well if you've ever had that, you gotta have the dressing to go with it. My dressing didnt come with my salad. I work nights and we had already planned to order food for the night so I didnt have anything else. I called applebees as a shot in the dark if there was anything they could do. I talked to manager Richard who was soooo understanding and agreed that the oriental salad is just not good without the dressing! So he was able to arrange someone to drop off the dressing at my work (which we cannot leave the building during our shifts)! I am sooo thankful! This was on the night of March 29, 2026. Manager Richard is the best!“

“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.“

It was delicious, timely, and there was plenty! Our bartender was so fun, and made the night even better. The facility is beautiful! It was clean, well set up, and communication was simple and care free! Thank you to all the amazing staff, and facility.“

“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.“

“I've lived nearby for years and finally made the time to stop in. Had a delicious burger for lunch and ladies with a mildly irritated attitude were holding the place down, yet they made sure I felt welcomed. It was was like being in my grandma's kitchen. Quiet during the day, but judging by the band stage setup they have I'm willing to bet it gets a bit rowdier on the weekends.
Definitely going back.“

“Best brisket ever eaten! The service was great, food was amazing, my drink= delicious! We will be back again!“

“Held our mother’s 85th birthday there on February 2 in the small party room. Everything was wonderful and the food was excellent. Our waitress Laura was very polite and attentive to all our needs. A job well done!!!“

“Great vibes and the environment was good. But the French dip sandwich, PLEASE take that off your menu. It was served dry. It tasted cold, dry and tough. The fries tasted better than the sandwich itself. I don't imagine that sandwich gets ordered often. Cut your losses and get rid of it.“

“Honestly, this place deserves 10 stars! My wife and I had reservations for our 15 year wedding anniversary and wow did they go above and beyond!! They had the most delicious food and my wife who has celiac disease had so many options to pick from for food. They made our night so special and I was beyond impressed. We were both brought to tears from how friendly and kind the staff were. 10000000% recommend to anyone and everyone!!! Thanks so much again - Brandon and Julie :)“

“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.“

“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.“

“My husband and I have stopped here a few times while in Duluth. The food is good and the service is excellent!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Cranberry Bacon Bleu Salad:

( nice selection of dressings)
Hand-seasoned, grilled chicken breast and pieces of bacon plus a generous helping of dried cranberries and savory bleu cheese crumbles on a bed of mixed greens with cucumber slices, and grape tomatoes.“

“We ordered a BBQ chicken salad, bean burger and tots to go, the food was ready for pickup less than 20 minutes after we placed the order and it was fresh and ready to go, decent pricing for what we ordered. Everything was good, the salad could have had more dressing for sure and they did not include silverware or napkins. Not sure if thats standard but it was kinda annoying as we didn't have any at the hotel.“
