An awesome little coffee shop and cafe!The Purple Car Coffeehouse & Cafe has a bright, cheery, family friendly atmosphere with something for everybody. They have a wide variety of very good reasonably priced coffees.Their hot delicious soups and sandwiches are the perfect thing on a cold Duluth day! They also have some of the best ice cream around. It is easy to get to and they have a nice big parking lot. Definitely worth a visit!

The food was delicious! Our server was personable, efficient and knowledgeable about the menu. We were a party of 5; 2 filet mignon, 1 chicken fried lobster, 1 chicken they were $98.00 for both. Still worth it for me as it was truly delicious and perfect! However, I do think they should tell folks upon ordering. All in all, highly recommend the experience! We saw an ore boat, watched the bridge go up and the view was incredible.
Made reservation a month ago. and when we arrived, they overbooked, and we never got to keep our reservation that we truly wanted to keep for our special engagement celebration. We had to leave. And go somewhere else that were booked up already. Very disappointing and sad.

I have gone to JJ Astors twice in my life and regretted it both times. The first time, the fish was undercooked so we sent it back. They brought out the same piece of fish after trying to reconcile their first mess up. The second time the fish came out, it again was slimy and undercooked. I made the mistake of giving JJ Astor a second chance. The second time, the food came out extremely undercooked and the waitress was awful. The chicken was slimy and purple on the inside. We ended up trying a couple bites of the chicken but had to send it back due to the scare of getting sick. Our waitress had an attitude the entire time and messed up our drink order multiple times. I ordered an old fashioned but ended up getting a clearly shaken Manhattan. SHAKEN Manhattan. Not only was the drink incorrect but they also broke the golden rule of a Manhattan must always be stirred, not shaken. I also ordered a glass of Pinot Noir; however, I never got my glass of wine. I ended up asking for my glass of wine a second time, but it still never showed up. Finally, we ordered a piece of cheesecake because of how hungry we still were due to the horrible quality of our entrees. We ate about 3 bites of the cheesecake and couldn't eat anymore. It was dry and unflavorful. I have tasted more moist and flavorful sand on the beach than this cheesecake. The only enjoyable part of dinner was the view over all of Duluth. However, I would highly recommend going up to Enger Tower to get a great view of Duluth instead of paying for an extremely overpriced meal that isn't even as tasty as McDonalds. I will never go back to JJ Astor ever again as I have never been more disappointed in a restaurant in my life. Never would I ever recommend this horrifying excuse for a "nice restaurant" to my worst enemy, let alone anyone I actually like. Go at your own risk.

I have eaten at JJ Astor on and off for at least 20 years. However, a staff member told us that they are remodeling and changing the menu. The food was excellent but a little pricey, I hope things don't change to much. My guests and I and totally enjoyed ourselves. Thank you

Menu was vague and complicated, especially add ons with entrees that were ridiculous and petty extras like $2 for onion ring with steak that was described as coming with dish. Waiter was excellent, eve apologizing for menu. It's main attraction is the view

Wonderful. My wife and I were celebrating a belated Valentine's. Service, food, waitstaff-terrific! Happy to see the Restaurant is going to be fully renovated. Is looking very dated. Can't wait to return when it reopens.
