“Amazing food, excellent service! Highly recommend. We had 4 adults and 5 kids was quick service considering they were very busy!“

“Old school bar with great vibe, good humans. Enter either on Superior St or the lower entrance on Michigan St. Smoking section on lower side is good fun. Mix of humans. Local bus station across the street (Michigan side). R e l a x and breathe the good duluth air.“

“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.“

“We came in on a recommendation from a friend. Bethany was fantastic! So friendly and personable. She went above and beyond in suggesting great places in Duluth. Absolutely a gem! The atmosphere was phenomenal and the drinks were beyond delicious!“

“One of my fav spots to stop for a wide variety of drinks! They have board games to choose from which is super fun to do with friends while you chill out. Also darts is a classic! Super cool atmosphere too. Staff is always friendly!!!“

“Typical Minnesota bar, pool tables, locals, and a real experience. Looks a lot nicer inside than the exterior gives off. The absolute nicest dive bar bathrooms I’ve ever been in. Drinks were reasonably priced around $5 a drink. This is a place where you could easily become a regular.“

“A great bar, bartender is the best. Nice home town bar, like bars used to be. Glad I finally made it here“

“UPDATE: I'm sitting here watching Steph, the owner bringing a more comfortable chair to an older gentlemen with a bad leg. No one asked her too she's just always aware and always trying to make things nice for the patrons. She rocks and so does the Caddy Shack in Duluth.

Also, it's such a fun place. They have live music, DJ Trivia, Bingo, etc. The staff have always been really friendly and the whole place just has a real positive vibe. They also have private off-street parking. The other night I tried a chocolate flavored stout beer, surprisingly it was really cool. I hope that you check this place out.“

“Great place and a ton of fun“

“Amazing service, tall blond bartender (Miranda?) made a specialty shot Stephanie Period, y'all gotta try it. She was the best bartendar I've had in a hot minute. Plus the vibes and dance floor were on point. Thanks for such a fun time, will be back when I'm up there again.“

“Shelly and Chelsea, have always been super respectful and also super helpful. They remember guests which is amazing and immediately makes you feel you feel like more then a guest. They are awesome. They're nurturing when you need them to be, they're sarcastic when you need them to be, they're your best friends but also super fair. I come here when I have my friends in town from the cities, because it's a superior attraction. They're awesome. and people love them too.“

“This place is like no other in all of the land known as Superior. When I'm here not only do I feel welcomed, I feel like I'm family. The staff here is so friendly and the regulars just want to have a fun and care-free day. I highly recommend this place.“

“That is really the great bar!
If you love cocktails, this is where you should be!
Classics are perfect, but if you want some experiments, ask bartender for that, just explain him direction.
All team who work here is really nice!
Wish to.come back once.“

“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.“

“Raspberry Crush is awesome 👌“

“It's a good bar to hang out at. The bar tenders are pretty prompt to get you a drink. Thurs is free chicken wings from 3-6 and Fri is free pizza with the purchase of a beverage. They have bands Thurs through Saturday with a mix of rock and country. There is also lots of TVs for those sports fans as well as a football board.“

“I just like this place for the quick service and overall atmosphere. not the flashiest place, not the fanciest place, but at least, even when it's busy, you know they know you exist and that your turn is coming. Goes a long way. I also like that the bartenders and regular customers seem to get along more like a family then just some body serving another person a drink kind of thing.“

“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“

“everything. they rock the stage and own it“

“This is an easy going chill bar. It has cleaned up a bit since my last visit. Still a dive but, I like dives. The patrons seem to be a tich older than the crowd at Ds. No kitchen there so dont come hungy. There is a McDonalds around the block though.“

“Great local bar to just relax and have fun with friends“

“We stopped in for breakfast after church on Sunday, as we have done from time to time. The breakfast was great, as usual, but the highlight of our visit was our server, Lexi. Lexi was very prompt, cheerful, friendly and accommodating. I sincerely hope that Grand View Grill knows what a treasure they have in Lexi!!“

“I might have to swing by Friday night and check it out.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Hands down great experience. The wings were SO meaty and delicious! Night Manager hooked us up last minute with some great recommended food. 100% recommend!“

“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 “

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

“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!“

“I love hole in the wall places like this!There's some water damage to the ceiling and the outside looks a little sketch but I think that's part of the atmosphere for me.Our waitress was phenomenal. The food came up quickly and was the best damn bar food I've had in years. Beer was cold and went well with the popcorn.Hope to visit again next year!“

“Fun little county bar with friendly staff.“

“Great place to hang out, have some drinks, and of course shoot pool on the best diamond tables in Duluth.“

“Came for date night, we both had beer and burgers, beer was good and cold, and the burgers were delicious (fries too), staff was on point, and made sure we were topped off while waiting on food (smart). Reccomend for lunch and dinner. Just wish there were more places like this to eat/visit in the Pike Lake/Twig area.“

“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.“

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

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

“I have yet to check it out.“

“I stopped in tonight and was greeted by the Nicest young lady who was hosting, and then had some incredible street tacos. i would highly recommend.“
