“Had an awesome experience at The Gopher Bar in Duluth! Great atmosphere, great food, and an all-around enjoyable time. Courtney was an amazing bartender who went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience. Her blueberry lemonade was delicious and the perfect refreshing drink to enjoy with our meal.

It was clean, well set up, and communication was simple and care free! Thank you to all the amazing staff, and facility.“

“The website was giving us a hard time and Natalie on the phone was so incredibly helpful and was able to get our correct order delivered to us! Cyrus was amazing and was willing to drive our order to us. When we got our correct order it was still hot and delicious. Very kind and helpful staff!! Would highly recommend!!“

“We had an outstanding experience at the Duluth Applebee’s bar, and Tory was a huge reason why. He was friendly, attentive, welcoming, and genuinely made the whole experience better. He kept everything moving, made sure we were taken care of, and had a great attitude the entire time.

It’s rare to come across a bartender who makes you feel like a valued guest rather than just another customer. Tory nailed it. Great service, great energy, and an all-around fantastic experience. Applebee’s is lucky to have him!

If you’re stopping by, definitely sit at the bar and ask for Tory you won’t be disappointed! 🍻“

“I had two bartenders that gave me service, a guy with a beard and a lady with pretty nails. Both were super chill and able to make me feel comfortable and drink there and the Bingo they had sounded super fun but didn't participate. Food was super good too“

“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 :)“

“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.“

“The only thing I don't like about this place is that when you pay with a card and leave a cash tip they will go back and make you tip again on your card. This last time I went there I had a margarita and the fish fry special on 8/28/26. I paid with my venmo card for the balance and left a tip on the counter. Sooooo not cool. I go there quite regularly and this is not cool.“

“Blackwoods catered my wedding and they were wonderful! The food was great and the workers were friendly. Highly recommend!“

“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!!!“

“Fun little county bar with friendly staff.“

“Love the Tappa Keg Inn!! I love the old time charm, friendly (and fast!) staff, and the food!! My favorites are the pork chop special on Tuesdays and the hot beef sandwich. The number one favorite is the Friday night prime rib. Tender and flavorful!!“

“The best Brisket Sammie and that Mushroom &Swiss was FIRE!!! cool joint, friendly service, awesome coleslaw, ice cold drinks, several taps....it may look shady outside, trust me the inside is big and fun, dont think twice, just go!!!! definitely be back. Had to double post!!! its that good.“

“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.“

“Holy cow. Just... wow. I love it here. This is the best diner I've been to in the Duluth/Superior area. I ordered the eggs benedict and a side of one pancake. They asked if I wanted a small or large pancake and I said small, but it was still the size of the entire plate. The pancake was so fluffy and tastes divine. The eggs benedict was superb. The ham on it was thick and delightful. The hollandaise was rich and amazing. I love it here.

It is a quiet diner and I love their Halloween decor. Staff is amazing and friendly, very worth it. I love this place. It's such a hidden gem and I am definitely coming back“

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

“We wanted to celebrate our 16 year anniversary here. Made a reservation 1 week in advance for next Saturday. They called 1 hr and 24 minutes before our reservation time to tell us they are closed for the night. We even had a 40 min drive to get there beforehand. Left us scrambling to find another restaurant on a Saturday night to celebrate just before peak dinning hours.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Good time there this morning“

“We had a great stay with an outside hot tub & indoor pool and absolutely the best surf and turf fine dining we’ve ever had! We will definitely be back, Thank you Silos!“

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

“Are food and drinks were great! Enjoyed our server, Joseph M.he did great and has a great personality!“

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

“Had such a great experience at Culver’s in Duluth. Everything was super fast and efficient, and the staff really care about giving great service. The food was sooo good—the burger was juicy and literally perfect. The place is clean, organized, and just has a really nice vibe. Definitely coming back next time I’m visiting my dad. Wish there was a Culver’s in Brazil too.“

“Great views, Excellent Breakfast, Decent Prices - My teens and I loved it!“

“Ordered nachos from you guys through door dash my husband and I have to say amazing job loved it thank you“

“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.“
