The 50 best spots for appetizers in Duluth

I LOVE THIS PLACE! My friends and I stopped here this morning on our way into Duluth and I’m so glad we did. The atmosphere was perfect, although it was super busy when we arrived , we were able to get seated fairly quickly! The cleanliness of the restaurant was a HUGE plus , each and every staff member/waiter was so welcoming! To top it off the food was incredible! The Barbacoa has was filled with so much flavor! Can’t say enough about it 🤍 also the farmers eggs was the perfect breakfast for my morning! 10 out of five stars! ⭐️ best part about it is breakfast and LUNCH served all day!! Plates were all beautifully presented!

Duluth Grill is a great place to grab some breakfast. They have a nice sized menu with takes on classics as well as some of their own special dishes. They even make most things on their menu from scratch even down things like their ketchup and lemonade. We tried quite a few things, and while the cinnamon roll was on the sweeter side it was still moist and fluffy. Everything else we have was very very fresh and not greasy at all. The main thing to note is the wait times. On average you may wait anywhere from 30mins to over an hour for a table depending on party size and where you want to sit. Definitely a must stop for anyone in Duluth looking for a good breakfast.

The Duluth Grill was worth the 40 minute wait! I would definitely plan ahead if you want to eat her during peak hours. We had a party of five and we all had something different. Everybody raved about their food. Service was outstanding too! The standouts were the barbacoa hash and the brussel sprouts.

While it’s quite busy on the weekends, it’s worth it. Great food with local Minnesota North woods flair. There is also a fantastic tea bar with specialty drinks. I return here whenever I’m in the area and I’ve never been disappointed. Great skillets, hash, and burritos (the Billy Bob is out of this world) for breakfast and brunch.

Lines are long but it is very easy to see why. The food is fantastic, easily the best chicken sandwich of my life. The server (Vera I think) was absolutely fantastic and was extremely careful with allergies. Cannot recommend enough!

The service was some of the best I've had. The food was delicious. I had the CU Tomago. It was a little difficult to eat but the flavors were amazing. I personally think the Korean brussel sprouts was the best part of the whole meal. I also ordered a Prickly Pear Lemonade-- very sweet and tangy refresher to go with your brunch!

There is nothing better than Duluth Grill after a sunrise photography adventure! Today I had Chili con Huevo and a caramel roll (that I intended to bring home). If I am going to spend money on food at a restaurant it needs to be good. Today's food was perfection. Thank you for taking the time and care to make this experience perfect! See you again soon!

This is a local gem! The food is over-the-top delicious. In fact, my guest, who has eaten all over the world, said that the Maple Glazed Salmon Risotto made his top 5 best meals ever. My gnocchi with basil pesto was exceptional. You can't get better food or views anywhere else. Tom was an excellent server as well. Thank you for an amazing meal and service!

The food was delicious and the service good. The view is usually spectacular. I would have given 5 stars, but the last two times we've gone they've been out of the gnocchi, which is what I planned to order. I would highly recommend the gnocchi and beef tips (if you're lucky), or sub for the shells with San Marzano sauce and beef tips (close second). My husband loves the carbonera. Will be back, but will probably call head, even with reservations. Fingers crossed I can get the Gnocchi the next time we go!

10/10 highly recommend. The BEST Italian I’ve ever had except for the food I ate while traveling in Italy. Absolutely delicious food, great service, and stunning views. Don’t forget a scoop of gelato to go. I would go out of my way to eat here again and again! Be sure to plan your visit in advance, a reservation is likely needed - especially if you want to sit in the lofted area overlooking Lake Superior.

We were recommended by several people in Duluth to try Va Bene, but unfortunately, it turned out to be a disappointing experience. To start, the host could have been more attentive. I understand they were very busy and I appreciated being seated as a walk-in, but when I arrived, I stood waiting for a couple of minutes. Another customer came in after me, and the host helped her first before finally noticing me. We were seated at The Grotto, the downstairs patio overlooking the lake, and were told we could only stay for about an hour. For drinks, we ordered a black coffee, which was warm and not good, and a Purple Rain (lemonade with lavender syrup), which was average. The food took over 30 minutes to arrive. We ordered the Pasta Alla Zucca Violina (butternut squash with creamy pecan sauce) and the Spicy Erbe with sausage. The sausage was the only ingredient we enjoyed. The squash pasta was undercooked—far too hard, leaving my jaw tired from chewing—and the sauce was overly sweet. The Spicy Erbe was okay, but again the pasta was chewy, which ruined the dish overall. In short, it was one of the worst Italian meals I’ve had, and though the view was nice, the food and service did not live up to the recommendations.

My husband and I were visiting Duluth for some downtime together after me having multiple surgeries over the course of 5 weeks. We did not make reservations but they were more than willing to accommodate us for lunch. We got to sit out on their little closed in patio and look out over the lake. The food was freshly made, hot and delicious. Our waiter was top notch and was very attentive while we were there. It's in a good location and we will definitely visit again when we come back.

Va Bene has a beautiful lakeside setting and a menu with both hits and misses. The burrata with tomatoes, pesto, and focaccia was excellent, the pesto especially stood out. The Noce e Pera pasta with candied pear, walnuts, and gorgonzola sauce was also delicious and well-balanced. The meatballs, however, were disappointing…small, dry, and lacking flavor. The Preferito della Casa pasta was also underwhelming, with chewy chicken, overcooked noodles, and a balsamic sauce that overpowered the dish. Service was a little slow but staff were pleasant, but overall the food felt inconsistent.

Va Bene is absolutely incredible!! Will was are server & he was on top of his game the hole time, food was amazing atmosphere incredible, we sat in the solarium amazing venue & the veiw was amazing looking over Lake Superior, we will be back, bring you empty tummy & fillip on the absolutely amazing food & drink.

The Cajan Finn is hands down my favorite fish sandwich! Wow was I blown away by flavors that are incorporated into this masterpiece. It’s worth the money. Friendly staff and short wait time. This sandwich leaves you satisfied.

There is a line at all hours for a reason. The food is unreal and vibe is immaculate. Everyone who works there actually cares in some fashion about the place and the product. Pick something up from the deli or the merch wall before you go. Employees for the most part are the artists behind the many items for purchase. Get the Cajun Finn. And the hoodie. Perfection.

This is the second time we’ve eaten there, I don’t remember what kind of sandwich I had the first time, but it was absolutely fantastic. So this time I made a huge mistake, not remembering what I had before I ordered the gorilla, not wondering what kind of mustard they had on there. It was Dijon mustard, and that was the only thing I tasted. And it is not my favorite food. So the mistake was all mine. I thought my sandwich was awful, but my wife enjoyed hers. She even offered me part of hers. If the line wasn’t so long, I would’ve gone downstairs and ordered something different. Or maybe the same thing without the Dijon. Aside from that your food is really good, they even have a small deli next-door.

Food was amazing and decor was so cool with the fish on the walls. Not the easiest for handicap customers very confusing trying to get to bottom floor. Employee that was taking orders was unfriendly and not the most helpful for a first time customer. Seen this location all over TikTok that it was The Place to go. I had "The Big Dipper" had it with the porketta it was a great sandwich but the 3 Pepper Sauce was ICE cold which was a little disappointing I don't think its supposed to be served like that ... It would been a 10/10 with the sauce warm. With how high our lunch was my overall rating is 7.5/10.

Seriously tasty. I don’t know if I’ve had a more flavorful sandwich ever! Such a cool place, perfect amount of offerings. Everything they have is intentionally curated. Good luck trying to choose! Awesome location, although the parking situation isn’t great. Definitely recommend checking this place out if you’re in Duluth!

Put in an order in advance (checked around noon - 1:30 and 1:30 were fully booked but managed to get a mid week 2 PM order in, it worked out since we were at Jay Cooke and by the time we drove into Duluth and enjoyed the lake walk area, our sandwiches were ready for us at the pickup counter, no wait). Delicious Cajun Finn - a perfect sandwich!! We also enjoyed the Italiansk though we found it to be actually more delicious the next day when the bread had softened with the oil and vinegar. The restaurant and market are in the basement of the building - head down the stairs and follow the clear arrow signage. There was a good amount of seating down there in addition to the outdoor tables.

Definitely a must stop when down in the canal center. Plenty of sandwiches to choose from and a few beers on tap and in cans. There's a counter in the back selling smoked meats and fish. Everything I got was so good!

We dined early (4:30) to avoid the crowds and it was worth it. We sat at the bar for a cocktail before being seated and the chef was there on a break. We got a chance to chat with him and the bartender about the restaurants history. The drinks were excellent with a good pour. Our server, Marcus, was excellent. He was very attentive and a fun guy to chat with. Something you don’t get unless you dine early. The food was impeccable. I had the prime rib which is finished on a charcoal grill. Probably one of the best tasting primes I’ve ever had. There were also two filets and a ribeye served at our table and all were fantastic. Even the sides were cooked to perfection and very flavorful.

Parking is a bit tight on the weekends. Dinning area is aright for a place like Duluth. Not premium but at least it’s clean. Food from the grill was great. We got the 8oz fillet steak and jack Daniel’s pork chop. The steak was very good. It had a crispy layer of saltiness on it. The chop was sweet which I’m guessing was from the jack Daniel. It’s a regular chop not a rib chop. The steak was good for the cut, it’s not a fillet mignon so don’t expect that flavor but it still had a good steak flavor and was tender. Comes with your choice of side which ranged from fires to baked potatoes. Also comes with a side of steamed zucchini. All in all the food was great our server, Reba, was excellent she recommended the moscato wine which was to my taste as I like sweet whites. I do recommend making reservations as it speeds up the seating process. We were seated immediately. It really is easy to make reservations online so do that.

The bar area brings you back to a different era. Servers are attentive and friendly. The smoked fish was spectacular while the deep fried pepper burger was unique and tasty especially paired with the onion rings. Great Duluth restaurant you should definitely check out.

We absolutely loved this place. We got the filet steak and it was so juicy, charred on the outside. The bread was amazing too. Fresh with delicious butter. Our waitress was so sweet and helpful on suggestions on the menu and things to do in the area. We had a wonderful view over the lake as well. Salads were crisp and we absolutely loved the fries and the twice baked potatoes.

We had a lovely meal. My burger was tasty and had a great char. The onion rings are really thick, and had a great onion flavor! My hubby got the filet and really enjoyed it.

Hands down my most favorite place to eat dinner in all of twin ports! Tidbit dinner is always delicious! Their twice baked potato is my favorite side. Their house made soups of the night was beef vegetable! Thank you Tyler and the rest of the staff for being so attentive and efficient. Much love!

This my favorite restaurant in Duluth as I love a classic supper club. The New York Strip was perfect and the Turtle Cheesescake was to die for. Any time I am nearby I make this a must go to stop.

Amazing atmosphere, great food, great service, reasonable prices! What more can you ask! We went there for breakfast on a Saturday morning and there was like a 5 min wait for the patio (we had a dog with us). The service was awesome! And the food was just as good! I got the pancake and my wife got the eggs florantine( I think) and it was just what we were looking for!

Visiting Duluth, eat like a local here. It’s locally owned, an eclectic atmosphere with outstanding service and food. The homemade cherry Danish was flaky and buttery. Two of us shared the Cowboy Hash. It was flavorful with tender chunks of brisket with a delightful Harissa sauce. So good! You will love it here.

Cowboy hash was delicious. The brisket in it was awesome, I only wish the eggs were less hard. The bread and jam really were a surprising treat too. We did have to wait about 20 minutes but you can order a coffee while you wait or sit at the bar or outside. I love the ambience - the bookshelves and big cozy booths especially. The Bloody Mary came with a good bent paddle chaser although there was no cheese/meat on the skewer (you could pay a whopping three extra dollars for a single slice of bacon added). The prices were the real downside here. At least on the breakfast front it seemed like a comparable restaurant would charge a few bucks less for a similar dish.

Probably my favorite breakfast in Duluth. Very fun options with all locally sourced ingredients. It's always pretty busy, but they keep things moving really well. The biscuit and berries is incredible. If you like a biscuit please get it. The Benedict with the wild rice sausage patties is one of the best breakfasts you can have. Service is always really good and quick. Come here if you have the chance!

Cozy space with a view from the patio down to the lake. Came for a late weekday lunch with hopes of enjoying breakfast and coffee. Enjoyed the Cowboy Hash with a Honey Bee Latte. Finished off with a brown butter chocolate chip cookie. Felt like elevated comfort food - lovely, relaxed meal on a quiet patio. Kelly was attentive and engaged as a server. Inside, I loved the wrap around bookshelves offering used books, what a fun idea for the space. Would definitely return for breakfast or lunch!

What a true farm to table restaurant with a unique and cozy atmosphere. The menu offers plenty of variety and options as well as drinks. I tried their curry which was my favorite, my boyfriend tried Korean barbecue chicken sandwich with their truffle fries. For our dessert we had their peanut butter mocha which was delicious.

Phenomenal food. I had the chicken curry and my wife had the bison and wild rice polenta. Both dishes were gluten free. Great list of coffee and teas. The wine pairings were spot on. Cannot wait to go back again.

The food was good however not spectacular. I had the red snapper ceviche and the pork belly sandwich for dinner with a black sesame cheesecake for dessert. The sandwhich was amazing but the fries were plain.The ceviche was watery (if that makes sense) but still good, and the cheese cake was average. The wait staff was incredible however and I would definitely go back.

This place was excellent! It’s a little hidden and you have to go through the market entrance. The salmon was great and I think the portion was perfect for me. I also got the carrot cake for dessert and it was super rich and dense. Super delicious spot for dinner!

I've not left a restaurant with such a deep understanding of its city like I have with Lake Avenue. Duluth's urban renewal is charming in the same way a childrens' soccer match is, in that there is an earnest attempt regardless of the result. The same cannot be said about Lake Avenue. A rotating menu will always be bold, and I would have commended them for this had the execution not been so poor. In the images I've included, you'll see the Tofu Masala ($24), the Mac and Cheese ($20), and the Steak Dinner ($53). While I cannot be certain which ingredients were used to push these dishes to such a steep price, I know salt was not one of them. The keen-eyed gourmet will undoubtedly spot the great unifying force of the culinary world, fresno chili and pickled red onion. The unnecessary inclusion of these in both the Tofu Masala and the Steak Dinner unfortunately speaks truth to Lake Avenue's attempt at being something it is not - a restaurant worthy of its prices. Neither the Steak nor Tofu Masala benefit from these flavors, but if your menu is on rotation and you lack the culinary experience to accommodate this, it does provide a universal shock to the palette that might distract your guests from the dish's lack of cohesion. In other circumstances, I would not be so harsh, but the $120 (pre-tip) bill my partner and I paid makes that irresponsible. This is Duluth, Minnesota; leave Lake Avenue, walk 20 seconds in any direction and you'll wind up in a T-Shirt shop or a Bar & Grill. Lake Avenue is not fighting the expectations of its patrons, but the ones that it sets upon itself. Find what works and do it well. No one is asking for anything else.

Our visit to Lake Avenue Restaurant & Bar was truly enjoyable. We stopped by during a quiet period, so we were seated right away. One of the owners, who was both friendly and attentive, looked after us. We tried the Biscuits and Gravy (without the chili oil) and the Carrot Cake French Toast—both dishes were outstanding and unlike anything we'd tasted before. We're certain we'll return in the future.

Wonderful atmosphere. Nice attentive staff. Food was PHENOMINAL!! only thing I wish different is that the red snapper was the entire fish head on and scored. Most places that serve red snapper do the entire fish. Here it's only 1 fillet. The fish is not quite big enough to do only one fillet. But it was delicious! The calamari was some of the best I've ever had and im from florida and eat a LOT of calamari!

Very nice setting, the atmosphere was wonderful. The food was great, and the drinks were also amazing. I highly recommend the Hurricane. Rio was our server and he was very polite and had a good sense of humor. I will be coming back here in the future.

I ordered the red snapper with white bean purée for my entree and it was fantastic. We also shared the pork lettuce wrap with bulgogi sauce and kimchi, also super tasty and I highly recommend. We had as appetizer but it could be a lite dinner or lunch entree.

The food was very good and different options from most places. Some vegetarian options and good salads. It was busy but the wait wasn't bad. Prices were reasonable. We walked there so can't say anything about parking.

Love having an easy vegan option by adding vegan cheese to any pizza (and removing toppings or doing BYO). Very small place so keep in mind that it is pretty crowded, but service was friendly and faster than expected with the crowd size at lunch time.

Super rad place!! The guy that took our order recommended the Tomasso pizza!!! Wow it was superb !! Absolutely did not disappoint. Thank you so much For being kind and hospitable! Visiting from out of town it’s always a coin toss where to go. This was a win !

Wonderful service, cheesy bread was absolutely insane! The drinks are a special selection from the Minnesota area! The staff was very helpful, prompt, and helped significantly! Even gave me cardboard I could use for my grandmas marathon sign! Wonderful people, great food, great drinks! 10/10 recommendation!

Top tier pizza with helpful friendly staff and pet friendly patio, 10 out of 10 would eat again. Other pizza’s wish they could taste this good

We tried the Donatella specialty pizza and a custom pizza topped with sausage and black olives—both tasted amazing. We would definitely order pizza from here again.

Great taste ordered Jalepeno and spinach topping. Recommend to atleast try once. Freshly made in Wood oven smokey taste.

One star for the hostess that tried to make things right. Server was garbage! He never asked us every once if we wanted a cocktail - threw our food down in front of us. Didn’t listen to what we actually ordered never checked on us to see if it was correct which it was not. The view is nice But I’ve never had such terrible food and service. Senior citizens are the main consumers- Customer service and food quality is not their specialty. I would never go here again.

Amazing service. Off to a rough start. We were seated in the club room right next to a family that had 0 control of their children. They were very loud, jumping around in the booth and hitting the bench. I privately asked the server if we could be moved and they were quick to make it happen. Lobster bisque we ordered to share 10/10 Brussel sprouts we ordered to share 8/10, temperature could have been hotter. London road burger 10/10. This was a huge hit Macs meatloaf 9/10. Would definitely order again Swedish meatballs 5/10. Mashed potatoes and gravy were good but the meatballs didn't get eaten after we all got a taste. Seafood cioppino 12/10 this was fantastic - the potatos could have been left off

Evan was phenomenal! Thanks for taking care of the girls and myself! Food and drink was good, not going to lie, the orange dream martini curdled, the fifth amendment was bomb though. Thanks for the extra garlic Evan!

So absolutely mouth watering phenomenal. From the drinks , to the drafts ,to the spirits, and cocktails . And even N /A and mocktails Such an amazing menu, chef's in the back are top notch some of thei best around. Service is amazing, waitresses and hosts aswell as everyone is totally fabulous. Highly recommended.

Great service, atmosphere and food! Bulldog bites and curds were so good! Cedar plank salmon was melt-in-your-mouth good. Pasta delicious, and pizza so good!

Duluth's Black Woods Bar & Grill “Blew My Mind!”—5 Stars of Northwoods Magic! 🍖🔥 (Hidden Gem Alert: You’ll Never Leave Hungry!) # #CertifiedSearchPro Holy smokes, Duluth foodies—Black Woods Bar & Grill is the ultimate spot for that hearty, feel-good meal that'll transport you straight to a cozy Minnesota cabin!

We had an incredible dining experience at Blackwood’s Grill and Bar in Duluth, MN. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and comfortable, the kind of place where you know you're in for a great meal and an even better time. The food was outstanding across the board. We started with the soup, which was rich, hearty, and full of flavor, clearly made from scratch. The drinks were well-balanced and expertly crafted, with something for everyone in our group. The highlight of the night, though, was definitely the entrées. The walleye was cooked to perfection, flaky, tender, and seasoned just right, a true taste of the Northwoods. The steak was equally impressive, juicy and full of flavor with a beautiful sear on the outside and a perfect medium rare inside. What truly elevated the experience was the service. Our waitress was fantastic — attentive without being overbearing, friendly, and incredibly professional. She checked in with us frequently to make sure we were happy with everything and kept our drinks and table in perfect order throughout the evening. It’s rare to find a place that nails it on all fronts; food, drinks, atmosphere, and service; but Blackwood’s delivered on every level. Whether you’re a local or just passing through Duluth, this is one spot that deserves a visit. We left full, happy, and already talking about when we’ll be back. Highly, highly recommend!

4.5 only because the restaurant was freezing. This was our first time to visit Canal Park Brewing Co. I would choose this over Grandma's Saloon any day. The FISH AND CHIPS was the perfect recommendation from our server Natalie. Fish fresh from Superior, battered and fried perfectly! Crispy outside and juicy inside. All the sauces are fresh too and tasty. The spicy chicken wrap was also delicious and a perfect blend of flavors. The beer was good and cold too. What a unique place. We'll be back for sure!

Nice little brewery right on the lake. I had great, quick service. I had the bowl of chili as it was one of those windy beginning of fall cool days it it hit the spot perfectly. Was nice and chunky and had just a touch of heat. Then I had the Nashville hot chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries and it had a perfect amount of heat for a chilly day. To drink I had a strawberry mango lemonade Arnold Palmer. It was perfect.

Our visit to Canal Park Brewing Company was quite enjoyable. While the indoor setting was what you’d expect from a typical brewery, the outdoor area made great use of its lakeside location. The service was attentive, and our food arrived quickly. We tried the Mac and Cheese with beef brisket and the Reuben with potato soup on the side; both dishes were delicious. What really made the dining experience was the Swedish Cream dessert, which was outstanding. We would gladly return for another meal.

Canal Park Brewing Company has a really great atmosphere with a fun vibe right on the lake. It’s a nice place to grab a drink and enjoy the view. That said, the food doesn’t live up to the price point. A $20 hamburger just wasn’t worth it, and overall the value didn’t match the experience. Worth visiting for the atmosphere, but not for the food prices.

The few times we’ve been in Duluth, we always stopped here because of the food and proximity to Canal Park. I decided to take my visiting family here, so they can enjoy the view and food as well. This visit, we got the Nashville chicken sandwich and bulgogi bowl. My family had fish and chips, burger, and mac and cheese. My brother and dad got pints as well (I forgot what it was!) Everything was delicious! We did not wait long for our food. Also, our server was so amazing and nice. I think her name is Christine? I am so sorry I forgot! She always checked in on us and made sure we got everything. We will definitely go back. Highly recommend!

Great place for lunch in the Canal area close to the scenic walkway on Lake Superior. The outdoor patio was in a fantastic location and the beer and food was great. The Nashville Hot chicken sandwich, buffalo Mac and cheese were fantastic. The beer cheese soup and dry run chicken wings were great appetizers.

Ty was our server and he was great. Super engaged and responsive when either my wife or I had any questions on there beer. We are from the PNW and love our beers. Food was absolutely amazing. We had just gotten back from a lovely kayak trip out to the Apostles Islands and were certainly ready to eat. Between our son and the two of us we had a variety of options and we all were very pleased. Highly remind!

In a city that is pretty vegan-friendly, Sir Ben’s vegan Cobb salad is the single best vegan entree in town. Loaded and perfectly balanced, it’s super delicious & satisfying. I’ve already had this entree four times this summer and will continue to return again and again to try and satisfy my cravings for it. While some places just throw a simple vegan entree on the menu, this one is thoughtful and well executed.

Bees Invaded My Epic Duluth Beer Adventure at Sir Benedict’s—But I'd Still Give It 5 Stars! 🐝🍻 (You Won't Believe the Historic Vibes!) #DuluthHiddenGem 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 5/5 Stars – A Historic Beer Haven in Duluth That's Worth the Buzz! Oh man, if you're in Duluth, Minnesota, and craving a craft beer experience that's straight out of a history book, RUN—don't walk—to Sir Benedict’s Tavern on the Lake! This place is a total gem, nestled right on the shores of Lake Superior with an outdoor seating area that feels like you've time-traveled back to the 1800s. Picture this: you're sitting on a charming wooden patio surrounded by century-old brick walls, vintage lanterns flickering in the breeze, and the faint echo of Duluth's maritime past whispering through the air. The historic ambiance is next-level—it's like dining in a restored ship captain's quarters, with exposed beams that tell stories of old trading posts and iron ore ships docking nearby. Every corner screams 'authentic North Shore heritage,' from the rustic stone accents to the panoramic views of the lake that make you feel like you're in a postcard from Minnesota's golden age. It's not just a bar; it's a living piece of Duluth history, perfect for sunset sipping or cozy fall afternoons. And the craft beers? Absolute perfection! They pour local legends on tap, with rotating seasonal brews that hit every note—crisp IPAs with piney hops, smooth stouts that warm you up against the lake chill, and fruity sours that pair insanely well with their pub grub (pro tip: get the fish and chips for that true lakeside vibe). The staff are beer wizards, recommending flights that'll make any hophead swoon. It's the kind of spot where you lose track of time, chatting with locals about Duluth's wild history while the waves lap in the background. The ONLY downside? The bees are in GREAT numbers during fall peak season—think a buzzing squadron that might photobomb your pint! 🐝😂 I had to do a little dance to shoo them away, but honestly, it added to the adventure (nature's way of saying 'welcome to the outdoors!'). Just bring some bug spray or snag an indoor spot if you're bee-phobic—it's a minor hiccup in an otherwise flawless experience. Duluth locals and travelers, this is your sign to go! Historic charm, killer craft beer, and views that'll make your Instagram explode. Who's braving the bees with me? Tag a friend and let's make this spot famous! #SirBenedictsDuluth #CraftBeerLovers #MinnesotaAdventures #HistoricPatioVibes #BeeHiveBar #LakeSuperiorEats #ViralDuluth #Travel

Great spot to see the lake and enjoy a warm lunch on the North Shore. Very adorable! Pesto Sammie was incredible Highly recommended the German pretzel 🥨

Loved this place! Was super cozy and fun- old school vibe/relaxed. Beautiful view, friendly staff, great service. Food and drinks were great!

During a recent business trip to Duluth, I was in the mood for a good sandwich for dinner and was steered toward Sir Bene’s by the hotel receptionist — and I’m so glad I went! The atmosphere was fantastic, with an impromptu Irish jam session happening that evening. The musicians were excellent and added such a fun, cozy vibe to the place. I ordered the portobello sandwich, which was delicious — hearty and flavorful, and I was that I held the mayo because the sandwich doesn't need it. Although I didn't drink, they have a huge variety of draught beers. Overall, a great experience all around. Highly recommended!

This place was amazing. The food was fantastic and the people were wonderful. Even had live music starting as we were getting ready to head out.

Ate here for the first time on Friday evening. It was bustling and I really enjoyed the atmosphere inside along with the awesome service and food. I ordered the British Dip with aus jus which was juicy, fresh and quite excellent along with a few of the local beers they had on tap. Selection for both sandwiches and beer was plenty, and I'm definitely looking forward to swinging by when I'm up in Duluth again. Keep up the great work!

Just got back from an adventure on the North Shore: whether you are camping in the BWCA, chilling in a cozy cabin in Grand Marais, or exploring the Gun Flint Trail campsites, you might be craving something fresher than fast food! On your way through Duluth, swing by Hanabi for a sushi experience that’ll make your taste buds dance! Their happy hour runs daily from 2 to 4 PM (except Sundays), and let me tell you, the selection is fantastic! The fish is super fresh, and the prices won’t make your wallet cry. It’s the perfect way to refuel after your wild escapades—happy sushi feasting! 🍣🎉

Food is 10/10! Played great music, quick service, and delicious food. We had the shrimp tempura, rock shrimp tempura, sweet potato roll, chicken and steak hibachi. The fried rice is so so good! The best I’ve had in a long time. Awesome drink selections including mocktails and THC. The only thing we did not enjoy so much was the ginger dressing on the salad. Otherwise everything was a notch above the competition.

Loved the presentation, service, and atmosphere. Cool art on the wall, lofi music playing, and studio ghibli on the bar TV. Fun mocktail menu - the raspberry punch is yummy. I only tried one dish and it was pretty good, but not amazing. I’d def go back to sample more of the menu.

Bountiful plates of food. More edamame than we could handle. Lovely presentation of omakase (white tail, tuna, salmon) and unagi sushi. Offer tasting flights of select sake brands. Fun NA drink options as well.

I had the tonkotsu ramen. It was ok I guess. I was hoping for some big piece of pork on my ramen but it was small.... pretty pricey for the ramen portion I have. Tempura shrimp was good.

Always great food. Brought my sister and brother-in-law for their first experience everything was displayed so beautifully and it was so delicious

Don’t go by the looks of it from the outside. It’s really nice from the inside and really provides a great dining experience starting from the service to the food, ambiance and music. We enjoyed it all.

Melissa's waitressing made the difference with our breakfast! She was extremely friendly and very kind! I could tell the other wait staff were also friendly. Our breakfast took a while to get to us, but was definitely adequate. Thanks again Melissa for doing such lovely job. ❤️

Surprisingly slow service for how busy they weren't. Very and I mean VERY delicious food, but certainly not for the light of wallet. Very friendly staff from what I could discern in the brief interactions between relatively long gaps. Probably would be very nice for a date night, but not the best choice for the type of evening we were after. Certainly an enjoyable experience, just not what we usually gravitate towards.

Waited too long for drink order, but they were nice. Waited a long time for them to come for our food order, but got our order taken. I took the kids for multiple walks while we waited for the food. Finally, I took one of the kids to our room while my wife waited with the other kid. Then my wife asked where our order was, and they hadn't even started it, so she came back to the room and we packed up and got out of there. We lost OVER AN HOUR and did not get any food! They didn't charge us for the two chocolate milks. We kept hearing other tables make comments of the wait and missing items from their orders. We were so mad. Kids were so hungry. Never again.

Great food, clean atmosphere, but the service was about slow.

Ever seen a Cesar salad made with chopped iceberg lettuce? You shouldn't! But if you do, just know this isn't a proper Cesar and should run. As you can see below in the picture, I found 1 actual piece of green lettuce. The highlight of my meal! Look, if a restaurant can't make a proper Cesar for $12, they probably aren't doing much of anything else right. Be better.

Food - A+ steak and walleye cakes were perfect Service - A+ Chelsea was handling several table by herself and doing amazing! Drinks - B+ were very good by also very expensive Atmosphere - B - lots of open air / tables in one room - wasn't terrible, but wasn't fantastic Overall a great experience!

Was staying at hotel for a business trip and decided to try this restaurant for breakfast. Took my food to my room. The food was cold, bacon not cooked that well, and found a hair in my eggs. I was so disgusted I threw it away. Will not be visiting this hotel or the restaurant ever.

This was my first visit to Phoholic with my family, and it was an excellent experience from start to finish. The menu offers a wide variety of options, the ingredients were fresh, and the quality of the food was outstanding. Service was attentive and welcoming, and the flavors were authentic. My personal favorite was the shrimp Pad Thai, especially with their house-made chili sauce, which added the perfect touch. I also love supporting family-owned businesses, and I’m excited to try their beautiful new second location soft opening this week. Duluth is lucky to have such a fantastic Vietnamese dining option. I highly recommend Phoholic and will certainly be returning. Bonus : Some of the servers also look like those handsome K-pop singers. :)

I absolutely love their London Road location!! It is so gorgeous and definitely an upgrade from the Central Entrance! Good for them!!! My server was so sweet and the food was amazing! I ordered a Vietnamese coffee, potstickers, and the special combination Pho! Total came out to $34.12 (without tip) so pricing is fair! I 100% recommend checking them out!!

They had a line when we got there, but we still got a table quite quickly. The food was prompt, the service friendly and helpful. Someone was always going about cleaning and refreshing the table items. The food was 100% amazing!!!!!!! Fresh, flavorful, perfect. They even recommended some places for us for the one day we will be in town. The staff was so friendly and welcoming. The entire visit was a complete delight

My first time at the Pho restaurant and it was delicious! I was seated right away and my order came out quickly. I’ve had Pho many times and this was right up there as a top choice. My order came out in a nice big bowl filled with a good portion of pork and shrimp and many egg rolls. If I have one critique it’s that the prices are higher than I’m used to paying and oh that front lot is just silly.

Refreshing but plain spring rolls. Lightly spicy but very nutty sauce. Everything thing was great texture-wise and all full of flavor. A bit of a kick with how spicy the hue style noodle soup was but still tasty. Very good portion sizes.

There was a 45 minute wait to get in, but some things are worth waiting for. If you love pho, you’ve absolutely got to try this place out. This place sets the bar so high with some of the best broth I’ve ever had. No additives required. Food came out promptly after we were seated. Super friendly waitress gave suggestions & helped make dipping sauce. 10/10 dining experience.

Incredible food. Hot, fresh and flavorful. Lots of familiar and unique variety of dishes on the menu. Parking is indeed limited, but we can't when they opened and didn't have a problem. We'll be back and highly recommend

We wanted to try Grandma’s because it is a popular spot in Duluth. We loved the theme and ambience of the restaurant. There were so many things to look at! We got there as the restaurant opened, so we were seated quickly. The food was mediocre. It was nothing that stood out from the other places we ate at in Duluth. Serving was huge though! Our server was not great. It seemed like she didn’t really want to be there. She was rude to some members of our party. She gave the vibe that we should be grateful that she was even taking our order. Overall, Grandma’s was an experience. I think if you’re in Duluth, you should at least try it once. Will we come back? No.

My friend and I stopped in for lunch on our way up north and had the most amazing time!!! The atmosphere was so fun, the food was delicious (huge portions) and the service was incredible. Our server, Lisa, went above and beyond to give us everything we needed (despite us being quite indecisive). We will definitely be back!!! Thank you Lisa!!!!

We recently had the opportunity to dine at Grandma’s Saloon & Grill for the first time. Although we have frequently visited Duluth while traveling to and from the North Shore, we had never had the chance to visit Grandma’s until now. On a summer weekday afternoon, the establishment was half full. The service was excellent, and we were impressed by the ambiance. However, the food was average and somewhat overpriced. I opted for the Chicken Pot Pie, while my wife chose the Walleye.

Nice atmosphere. Trout sandwich had very little meat or substance. Chicken sandwiches looked good, not toasted bread. No refills on water. Seemed too busy to check on customers. Fun experience overall, food looked good. Fries and fried cheese were great.

Whewww…We had a great experience at Grandma’s Saloon & Grill. The wait time was minimal, and the staff was friendly from the moment we walked in. Our waiter, Brenden, was an absolute pleasure—he remembered our entire order perfectly and was incredibly attentive throughout the meal. The barbecue wings were a standout! They were perfectly sauced with just the right amount of smoky sweetness. Excellent service all around!

What a great themed restaurant with great food, service, and atmosphere. The pictures do not do it justice. This is a must see and experience restaurant if you’re in the Duluth area. My only suggestion would be to advise your guests that there are two completely different menus between the main floor and the upper level before you seat them.

Cool place to eat for a touristy spot. Walls are decorated with awesome decorated. Food was ok. Large portions. The best item was the wild rice and gravey they serve with it. Does have a deck to watch the bridge.

This place is a MUST stop. We had an amazing experience here for lunch today. They have a pet friendly patio with a lot of seating. On my way out I noticed they have blankets you can borrow for days it randomly gets chilly which I LOVE. We got the honey bbq bone in wings and they were amazing! All the wings were fully covered in sauce and they were perfectly cooked. I got the ahi tuna burger and I will say it was a bland burger with very minimal sauce and a lot of avocado. Don’t get me wrong, I love the avocado. In my opinion, if you’re gonna have a lot of avocado, you also need to have some sauce . I also had a soggy bottom bun but luckily the server checked in right away when I saw it and brought me a new bun right away. I upgraded to the sweet potato fries and they are the second best I have had ! They also have really cool lemonade flavors like blueberry and lavender. The service provided by Hunter was absolutely amazing. He was on top of everything and very kind. We ordered just a burger for my dog and he even went out of his way to make sure that the burgers were not seasoned so my dog would not get sick.

TOP TAVERN - Great restaurant near UMD with good food, drink and atmosphere. Good variety of food choices. Flavorful burger that was well prepared. Not my favorite kind of fries but they were good. Good for social gatherings.

Fries were the best part about the meal! The burger and salad were just average anywhere. The local Pistachio beer was definitely yummy. I've travelled lots and just seemed pretty generic to be honest. I don't have kids, but I think it's great they have their kids option and it was a very family friendly place :-)

Great food. I had the Velvet Elvis Burger with melted cheese, peanut butter, pickles and onions, special sauce. My brother had the Bleu Burger, Karen had this monsterous salad with chicken. All prepared exceptionally with great service.

I ordered the Tavern Cioppino and it was phenomenal! This one definitely ranks as one of the best dishes I’ve ever had. The rest of our group ordered pizza and burgers which had some mixed reviews. Based on the meal I had though, they deserve nothing less than 5 stars! I’d make a special trip just for this again.

So I took my wife out for a date. And this was the site for our first date years ago. The place wasn't busy at all and there were 4 waitress there plus a bar tender. We ordered a drink and steak bits as an app. And Burgers. Drinks came there were great. But 22 min. later we were not checked on and drinks and water were gone. Another waitress came out and gave us our steak bits and walked away real fast! Our steak bits consisted of maybe and I say maybe 2 pieces that would be considered a bit for a small child, the rest were speaks of meat and all of it was BURNT to charcoal. There is no way the cook didn't see this because each burnt piece was hidden facedown and covered real well with the fried onions that were old and stale. Took another 20 min. for waitress to finally come back and check on us after I complained to the bartender. I showed her this, she stated there is no excuse for this and would talk to the chef but at this point we were already just done with it. I told her ill ay for the drinks but we were leaving I cant trust the chef or staff, they al allowed this to pass to the customer. ME and my wife. She wouldn't take money for the drinks. Nice and we left her a tip for the drinks. But we will not go back there and its a shame, the place has sentimental value to us.

Very nice place. Clean, good atmosphere. Very very good food that is beautiful, fresh, and amazing. We went here twice during our trip to Duluth. Shout out to our servers Paige and Joey who were attentive and very friendly.

Some friends and I were visiting from out of town and called this restaurant to see if they had openings around 8 PM. They were really kind and had openings for a party of seven last minute.✨ There was nothing wrong with the service that we received. Our waiter was very kind and personable. She helped educate us on the wide selection and helped us select a wine. I am disappointed with the food. Their prices were very high, despite not having quality food. The shrimp was very gummy. There was barely any lobster in our pasta dish. The mashed potatoes was very small. The steak was cooked perfect, but the seasoning was very bland. I was very disappointed due to spending $140 not including tip. The dishes were surprisingly small for the amount of money I paid. I had to stop at another restaurant to pick up food because I was still hungry. Overall, they have a great wine selection, but for the food they should improve on the quality of their dishes. I will not be coming back to this restaurant.

We stumbled on this place during a roadtrip and wow! The best service we have had in our travels by far. Then the food was just amazing! The bolognese was fantastic as well as the seafood angel hair pasta dish. If you're in the mood for great Italian and amazing service, we highly recommend.

Worth a splurge! The interior was very classy, and my husband and I worried we were underdressed, but the service was so friendly that our fears quickly passed. Every host and server greeted us with a smile, and our waiter, Josh, took great care of us. We started with the Artisan Cheese Platter (excellent), and I enjoyed the super flavorful Pappardelle Seafood Puttanesca and my husband had the Walleye Milanese. There were an overwhelming amount of wines to choose from, so if you’re a wine snob, this place is a must-visit (my husband and I just Googled what wines pair well with our entrees). For dessert, we enjoyed a great creme brulee that wasn’t too sweet. I took home plenty of leftovers.

This restaurant certainly lived up to its reviews. The decor is fantastic. The service was excellent. And the food was incredible.

We stopped in one evening after hiking all day up the north shore. When we walked in, we felt we were not dressed up to the required level, but they assured us we were very welcome, regardless how we were dressed. The food was delicious and the service was superb. We will be coming here again, but this time we will shower and wear nicer clothes!

I rarely leave reviews, but my family & I had an excellent dining experience last week! The ambience was wonderful, and though the restaurant was clearly busy, everything ran smoothly. The food was great, and the service was exceptional! Our server Josh did a fantastic job, went above & beyond to make our night special, & deserves recognition for his outstanding service. Thank you, Josh, for taking such great care of us!!! AND for encouraging me to try the escargot! 🤤 (My Dad is still teasing me for ever being squeamish. 😂) Thank you & we’ll be back!

Stopped in with my wife before a concert. We weren't really looking for anything special, but we certainly found something special at Bellisios! The atmosphere was very nice, and the food was nothing short of AMAZING!! I had the 12 oz. Fillet mignon, and I can honestly say it was the best steak I've had anywhere in the state. My wife was also very impressed with her seafood linguini. Is it a bit on the expensive side? Yes, but you most definitely get what you pay for. I seriously cannot recommend Bellisios highly enough. If you are looking for fine dining in Duluth, look no further.

For the pizza we had a Large "The Bear" meat lovers style. Might have liked a little more crispness to the crust... But all together it was good. Not heavy on sauce and a hand tossed light airy crust. Lasagna was fantastic. I would come back for this next time personally. Delicious red sauce with a great little bit of spice. Also did a Gouda Mac n cheese to go. It seized up after cooling so didn't hit as well, so not going to rate based on that. Large Pizza was $31 but other items were in the $10 to $15 dollar range. Will definitely go back if traveling through again.

It was all really good. Only complaint I have is when I order an appetizer it should come out before your meal not with your meal. But our waitress was extremely nice and friendly, and yes everything we ordered was a hit with all off us.

The food was ok. The bruschetta appetizer had no cheese and they did not give us enough bread. The stuffed shells were delicious but the portion was a bit small. The sandwich and salad bowl were also decent. Service was ok and the wait wasn’t too long even though the restaurant was busy. Atmosphere was good and the table was clean.

Good service, great food. Even the simple traditional Italian spaghetti and meatballs was a delightful experience. And the deserts were fire, the peanut butter brownie sundae was MASSIVE, so be warned, you will need to share it.

Quite an interesting pizza offering. Glad it was all thin crust. Best part was the bar vibes. Love that neon sign!

This place has been amazing for many years and is a fun place to hang out for pizza and drinks. There is so much to this place and its all great. The food was fabulous as it always is. We had a couple pizzas and they both were great flavor, cooked perfectly and perfect amount of toppings. I love the mixed drinks they make, blackberry lemon martinis are a favorite. Service is excellent, they are very good at making sure to get to everyone in a timely manner and make it inviting to be there. Can't wait to go back!

Stopped in for a pizza after hiking at Jay Cooke state park. I got a gluten free pizza and mocktail they where both delicious. I always enjoy the art inside the dinning area.

Great location overlooking Lake Superior Port. The service was great and the outdoor grass patio was fantastic location. The food was good, but overpriced for what you get. When you pay so much for a Ribeye you expect it to be cooked to order but was overcooked.. it was still good .... But could have been much better if prepared as ordered. The scallops in seafood linguine were also undercooked and one was still translucent in middle and smelled fishy... So we didn't chance eating it. The rest of the dishes were great. They just need to dial in the execution of the dishes considering the price point.

In town with the family and went here based on a great recommendation by a local. Very easy to get a reservation and table for 4, even on a Friday evening. Wonderful meal with great choices for all. Our server, Thomas, was delightful and had inciteful offerings on dishes to choose, desserts, drinks, and even potential activities to do the following day if we encountered poor weather. Comfortable atmosphere but still a nice evening. I highly recommend!

The Boat Club is a cozy restaurant overlooking the pier. The service was very good, our server was very attentive and knowledgeable of the menu and individual dishes. For food we started with the crab artichoke dip which was rich and creamy but there was almost no crab in it , which for $18, was disappointing. I started with the clam chowder which was very hardy and had a lot of depth to it. And the complimentary pop overs were fantastic! The Rigatoni Alfredo was very flavorful but the added on shrimp were slightly mushy which again for an extra $15 added to an entree is very disappointing. We had the orange dream cheesecake and chocolate lava cake for dessert and enjoyed them both. We had higher hopes for this place but the prices don’t seem to accurately reflect the food that’s coming out of the kitchen, especially for the seafood… We will give them another chance next time we’re in town as it could have been an off night but we will be a lot more cautious the next time.

New York strip, garlic mashed and asparagus all well seasoned, and cooked perfectly. Jolene our server was awesome , we loved our time with her. Highly recommend this place.

Got Crabby Eggs Benny and it was terrible. The eggs were hard, the holladiase was slightly broken, and the crabby cakes were gummy and tasted awful. I asked for new eggs and heard one of the servers tell ours, very loudly so that the whole dinning room could hear, that the eggs are supposed to be hard for benny's and people dont like runny eggs. My husband got a walley sandwhich, they walley was so small, I think they cut it in half. The (small) bun was oversized for the fish. This place has really gone down hill and we will not return.

As a restaurant connoisseur, traveler, and chef, I've found a restaurant that lives up to its history and service. Kade's professionalism, the quality of the dishes, the range of cocktails, and the wine list round out this small but enigmatic restaurant. Its view of Lake Superior, combined with the fog of those days, made it even more interesting. I've tried sea bass in many restaurants, but this well-prepared dish here truly exceeded all my expectations. I feel so good that I spent two nights there for dinner. Highly recommended.

Excellent food, superior service and lake side views. We chose outdoor seating but next time we will definitely opt for indoor dining. The tables outside are small patio style with very uncomfortable hard chairs. The music was too loud and made it hard for conversation. However, the food was outstanding. We all had appetizers and main entrées. The clam chowder beats San Francisco's best and the Calamari was on par with Vancouver's finest. All of the seafood was excellent, but the Steel Head Trout with garlic risotto was sublime, a 7 star plate of food! Service was exceptional. I would highly recommend this fantastic restaurant to everyone that loves upscale and creative food and excellent service. The views of gorgeous Lake Superior make this restaurant hard to beat.

We have a Taco Tuesday group and always go out for Mexican on Tuesdays as a tradition. This Tuesday was in Duluth MN with friends. Big change from Phoenix AZ!! We stopped at Mexico Lindo and we give their food a solid 4. The atmosphere and service are absolutely a 5. Superb service by our waiter who was personable and very good at his job. Where else can you go and get a cool Mexican cantina vibe with views overlooking the scenic waters of Lake Superior. We sat inside for margaritas and outside for dinner. Great combination of seating choices! It’s an awesome place to be in the summer. The menu is large and they have a lot of choices. Although there are no TT offerings, they do have a lunch menu available. Slightly smaller portions and lower prices. More than enough food. Decent chips and salsa. Good Queso. If you get to Duluth, this is a great place to stop. The area where the restaurant is located is very cool. Like a converted warehouse that is now eclectic shops you would find in an upscale farmers market. Worth a visit.

I apologize in advance I didn't take a photo before eating lol. But atleast it shows the filling and portion size. Review: I ordered the Chipotle burrito. A generous portion size with great ratio fillings. I was worried there was going to be less meat filling but I was surprised. I ordered steak meat as the option, well seasoned and nicely chared. I arrived just as the restaurant opened. Service took a little while to get my order. I would like to come back next time to see how the restaurant normally operates later in the day to give a more fair review of the customer service. Overall staff was friendly and helpful on explaining food options such as local favorites and staff favorites on the menu. I would recommend this location for Mexican cuisine in the duluth area.

We stopped at Mexico Linda in Duluth for lunch and were genuinely impressed. My Fiesta Burrito (shredded pork smothered in cheese sauce, pico de gallo, plus a side of rice and beans for about $13) was a comforting, satisfying meal rich but not greasy, with that cheesy pico combo bringing a tasty zip. Each bite was flavorful, and the portions were generous without being over the top. My wife went for the Mariscos, their seafood dish, and it was a highlight: tender shrimp and flavorful toppings, all balanced just right. No heavy food factory taste here; the seafood felt fresh and the seasoning thoughtful. Service wise, we were treated like welcomed guests. Chips and salsa arrived quickly, and the staff checked in at just the right moments: not hovering, but attentive. Atmosphere wise, it’s relaxed and low key. A modest space with no flashy décor, which suits the place. You come for real comfort food, not Instagram shots. It does feel like a neighborhood joint where people go to unwind and eat well. No pretensions, just good food and friendly service. Here’s the bottom line: Fiesta Burrito cheesy, hearty, satisfying. A solid 8 out of 10 in burrito comfort food Mariscos might be the star of the night: fresh, well seasoned, no seafood funk Service friendly and efficient. No long waits Ambiance casual, unpretentious, perfect for a laid back lunch or casual dinner If you’re in Duluth and craving something more genuine than chain Tex Mex but still comforting and affordable, Mexico Linda is a great pick. It’s not high falutin, but sometimes that’s exactly what you want. I’d definitely go back.

The deck was beautiful, but that the only positive thing I can say. I spent the extra $ on a "Patron Margarita". The only description is, "Made with Fresh squeezed juice." I could not tell you if there was any juice or patron in there because it tastes like a glass of orange liqueur. Margaritas are my go-to drink. This is by far the grossest one I have ever had.

We stopped in for an early dinner around 3pm. The chips and salsa were good, but it was pretty warm in there despite it being hot outside. I was hoping it would’ve been cooler. My friend and I both had the taco salad with chicken. I didn’t realize it came on top of refried beans and then had refried beans in the bottom of the taco salad bowl. The refried beans underneath the fried taco bowl made it mushy. I don’t think the taco salad was great. A large party got seated next to us and the service wasn’t very good after that. My friend ordered the fried ice cream which she said was really good.

I'm from Texas and to get a 5 star for Mexican food is an unfair challenge. That being said this is so close from a Keto perspective. I was so happy that they had steak options like Carne Asada and Jalisco. The Fajitas combo was super great. We had it for dinner, then woke up the next day and decided... hey let's go get it again. And we did. The queso was awesome too, quick service, nice atmosphere, all-in-all a must go. Thanks guys!

Ate there with my family of 5. Ate out on the deck. Fantastic views. Food was very tasty. Better than many other Mexican restaurants I've been to. Prices were quite a bit better than I expected. We didn't get anything extravagant and most had water. $65 before tip. Good service. Parking isn't easy. It's a part of the Fitger building (Google takes you to a different restaurant parking lot you can't use). We found side street parking. The boardwalk goes by it and has a stairway up to it. I never actually went inside. Price and taste and view were great. I will be back next time I get to Duluth.

Every time we visit Duluth, we make a point of stopping at King of Creams. The food is great burger-joint fare, and the service is always pleasant. I would highly recommend a visit if you're in the mood for a great 100% grass fed burger and a delicious Sprecher root beer.

My husband and I were visiting Duluth just for a weekend getaway and we were looking for somewhere to go for ice cream. We found this place and decided to go there. When we walked in the door we were greeted by two gentlemen that were working there. We were able to look at the ice cream that they had and pick out what we wanted and then they told us to you have a seat and they would bring it out to us when it was. They're serving sizes are more than generous and their prices are very very reasonable. It's located in a very easily accessible area and the inside is set up very cute. You should check out their food menu as well. We didn't eat any of the food there. We just had ice cream but the food that we saw when we were there definitely look like it was delicious. You owe it to yourself to give them a try if you're ever in Duluth visiting.

First off, I love the food here, but what I watched tonight was a terrible combination of lack of training, or care if this guy is trained. I have worked in restaurants for 8 years, and have been Serve Safe certified, and I know mistakes happen, but this didn't seem like a mistake. I placed my order at about 6:40 PM. The bill was about average for going out these days. The young man in the glasses was very patient and polite while taking our order. The food was great, as usual, no complaints there(yet, you'll see why). What got me is the horrible cross contamination between raw beef, buns, and handles of spatulas and shakers. The guy on the left in the picture, with the curly brown hair, only changed his right hand glove at 7:10 PM. He still had put down almost a dozen raw beef patties and a cheesesteak set, then touched all the seasoning handles, then the spatulas, then THE BUNS, then the papers the finished product goes on. He then went and WIPED THE GLOVED HANDS on a cloth rag, that hadn't been dunked in a sanitation bucket in the entire time I have been in here. He even put together the finished toppings before changing the one glove, while leaving the other still on, still contaminated. Then, while our food is being made, the young woman on the right with the grey hat comes out and says loudly "People really need to start tipping!" I have always been told "Tips are appreciated, but never expected." This made most people waiting cringe a little, as all of our bills were extremely expensive, and I assume we all tipped what we could. This needs fo change before I come back. The food is great, but this was enough for me to write a review.

Unfortunately, a pretty awful burger. Way over cooked and incredibly salty. The bun was good, but the meat was difficult to fathom for such a highly rated joint. Fried pickles should have been drained before putting in the basket, just swimming in grease. Chicken wrap was fine. Good service, but probably won't be back for the food. That's too bad, because it has a great menu

Couldn’t have chosen a better restaurant after a week up north. 2pm on a Wednesday afternoon looking for a burger. Walked in, great antmosphere, and the staff was attentive. Burger was everything, I had to give props to homie on the grill. Fries were 10/10. Nice gal sent us off with sundaes. Overall, awesome experience.

We ordered online from Toast, and picked up inside. The staff was friendly, the food was ready early, and if you're quick and lucky, the parking is "free". Had fries, cheese curds, and a mushroom burger. The fries are potatoey, oily, salty, and overall fantastic. The curds are foamy, square and fantastic. The mushroom burger is a fried mushroom with a pretty great sauce, and I liked it. Honestly thought it was an actual BURGER when I was ordering so I'm jonesing for some meat, but I'll be ok. I wish they wouldn't staple the bags... The staples can stick out and cut ya pretty good. Sauces are extra, which sucks. Overall, I would eat here again.

Was greeted immediately by friendly and helpful employee. Ordered a burger and cheese curds. It was cooked right away and everything was as requested. Food was delicious. Service was great. Price was in the range I had anticipated.

I'm really sorry. I know for a fact that the chef can make it right, but the location and the people that will support his business, he does it for them..and that is okay with me because I understand. Go try it for yourself if you are in the area and see for yourself. Just because it didn't fit my bill doesn't mean it won't fit yours. We ordered: - House special fried rice 4/10 Baby Shrimp was still cold. Rice was a bit mushy. The flavor wasn't right. And for it being the house special, it looked good, but it just wasn't right. - House special lo-mein 7/10 This was probably the best dish that day Flavor had a bit more salt. Noodles were soft, and the sauce was pretty good, even for being a bit salty. It's very similar to Great Moon Buffet Lo- mein. - kung pow Shrimp 4/10 Came with 6 big shrimp, a LOT of sauce, and a ton of veggies. I don't know why it was sour and not spicy. I felt the sauce wasn't cooked, and it seemed like the sauce was added after. - Beef with scallion 4/10 It uses the same sauce as kungpow shrimp. I'm not sure if that is right, but it's very similar to kung power shrimp. Ton of veggies, not much meat, and the sauce looked like it was added after.

I have gotten sick 2/2 times eating here. It is by far the worst Asian food I ever had. I am calling the health department. No1 can answer any questions. Im not even kidding. I have gotten sick every single time. I have novendetta. I am calling FDA.

Food was pretty good. But got delivered and no rice. I ordered 5 different. Quart!!! No rice also ordered sweat and sour chicken. No sweet and sour!! Only chicken. Had to make my own rice and luckily I had some sweet and sour in frig. Spent a pretty penny and left a very large tip. Called and they were not very understanding. Then hung up. Tried to call back and now have no answer!! From now on only order from Beijing. Just thought I would try a place closer to home, But not worth it!!!

I hate leaving bad reviews, but my experience with delivery was shockingly bad. I did an order for deliver and it said it would delivered within the hour. It wasn’t delivered within the hour so I called, they said they were very busy and my order is on its way. Another 30 mins passed and still no delivery. I called again and the phone was busy. I called several more times and still it was busy. So another 15mins went by and they finally answered but still didn’t know how long it’d be for my food. I asked for a refund, and he took my card info over the phone to initiate a refund since it had been 2 hours at this point. My food was never delivered and I’m not confident that I will *actually* get the refund cause the guy was so quick and hung up.

This place is a scam on 6-8-25 I ordered the chicken wings and shrimp fried rice for $26.00 total the chicken wings say 8 pieces on the menu I get home open up my food and I have 6 wings. So I call the restaurant back and asked them what happened to my other 2 wings and he said ohh it goes by weight I was like what but your menu says 8 pieces not by weight. He was rude and this is very misleading. This is something you should tell a person or put it in writing because now that’s false advertising… I wouldn’t spend another dollar in the place… So be careful when ordering something they might decide to change their minds and just give you what they want and not what they advertise… Not cool very horrible people for that ..

I love this restaurant! Their sesame chicken is so good. The staff is friendly and happy. The prices are reasonable. I've only picked up food to go or eaten it there, we don't live close enough for delivery. Every experience I've had at Zhong Hua has been positive.

I've been going here since they opened over 20 years ago. I still believe it is the best Chinese in the area and some of the best I've had. Tonight's meal in particular was very delicious, some of the best I've had from Zhong Hua in a few years. I had to leave a review.

Apricot wheat was awesome. The fog burger was pretty good too. Poutine was hearty! Good service and lovely ambience.

Had the rice ‘burger’. Was soooo tasty. Ended up mixing the cherry with about 1/4 sour. Great balance. Helper sever, nice environment and outdoor seating if you chose that Highly recommend

The wild rice burger is a perfectly unique dish for such an iconic building. I highly recommend allowing some time to explore the rest of the complex before/after your meal.

The only thing bad was that the Elote wasn’t served in a bathtub, and I couldn’t eat it fast enough so I burned my mouth. Highly recommend! Elote, Wild Rice burger!

We stopped into the Brewhouse on a Friday afternoon for lunch and were seated and served right away. We ordered the Brewhouse Burger and the Fish and Chips — both were absolutely delicious and exceeded our expectations. The service was friendly and efficient, and the food came out quickly and hot. The cozy, laid-back atmosphere felt perfectly in tune with the Duluth vibe. Great experience all around — we’ll definitely be back!

Stopped in the try a beer as recommended by our daughter. The Big Boat Oatmeal Stout was excellent. The artichoke dip was spicy but just how I like it. Wife enjoyed her root beer and took a couple crowlers home to enjoy later. Staff was helpful and extremely pleasant. Definitely will stop again on our next trip to Duluth.

I cannot stress enough how terrible the service is here. And the sub-par food was cold. Despite the fact that it was after dinnertime on a Saturday night and there were tons of staff everywhere. Our Server was very rude and everyone working was unprofessional. One app and three burgers with sodas took 1.5 hours. This place doesn't even have their own restrooms. 0/10 do not recommend and will not return.

I really appreciate the great environment and service. Regarding the food, I noticed a few areas for potential enhancement. The flavors leaned heavily towards sweet rather than savory, and the beans were quite watery. Perhaps adjusting the seasoning and thickening the bean preparation could help. The burritos could also benefit from a more robust flavor profile. Overall, with a few tweaks, the food could match the high quality of the environment and service

Environment is good, food sucks, and overpriced for the quality. You gotta have all three align to succeed in the food business. Very very disappointing to spend $130 on a family of 4 for the poor food quality. Not authentic even to the slightest. It’s like my gringo grandma lost her memory and grabbed canned beans, cub foods stale flour tortillas, big box store tortillas chips and attempted to achieve a Mexican meal. She failed and this restaurant failed so badly. Photos to see what I’m talking about. Never again.

Food was great! The Siraacha was a bit spicy but very yummy enchiladas! 10 out of 10! The drinks were amazing and margaritas are 1/2 off on Tuesdays after 9pm!

Fast service, open late, and overall good food. The longhorn burrito, queso and carnitas nachos were off the chain! The Santa Fe wrap was flavorless and the poblano rice was mashed and not that great. It may because we were in 30 min prior to the kitchen closing but I wouldn’t order it again. Love the music and the service.

Amazing food. Best Mexican chimichangas I’ve ever had. Kid nachos was huge. Fries were world class and the seafood burrito was divine. Our waiter Sam gave us the best service. This is a must stop!!! Very family friendly.

This is cool looking restaurant with friendly staff, albeit it was a slow start to order. The food is good at a fair price, but not the best Mexican I've had. I think it was just my choice and would go there again.

This place looks really cool and smelt so good from the street. We were not overly impressed with our food. It is Americanized Mexican food. The fajitas were very watery and the rice and beans had an interesting flavor to them, not great but also not terrible, in my opinion. The service on the other hand, was phenomenal! Chase communicated with us very well and it appeared the other staff wanted to do what they could to help. They all paid great attention to us and seemed like they are a great team!

Relaxed atmosphere with a nice view of the harbor. Friendly and attentive staff. Super delicious food! Highly recommend the fried cheese curds! Definitely making this part of my Duluth stops. Along with the cheese curds, I ordered the Norwegian Salmon, with wild rice and onion rings.

My wife, some friends, and I made a trip up to the Duluth area to enjoy a few activities, and after a long day we were ready to grab something to eat. We came across Silos and figured it looked like a great spot to try. Parking wasn't terrible, but since the lot is shared by several nearby businesses, it was tough to find a good spot on a weekend. Once we parked and walked in, we were seated fairly quickly, which was a plus. That said, it did take a while before our server even acknowledged us. By the time he came over, we had been sitting for quite a bit, so we went ahead and ordered everything right away. My wife and I ordered the walleye cakes and a few drinks. When the drinks came out, my wife's Diet Pepsi was missing, so I had to ask our server to get it. For dinner, I ordered the Norwegian salmon with lemon pepper green beans and garlic mashed potatoes which was a wonderful combination. My wife had the seafood pasta, but it wasn't quite what the menu described. Not sure if there was a new chef or if something changed in the kitchen. Overall, it wasn't a bad first visit. There were some bumps, but the location is great--right off Lake Superior with outdoor seating and a beautiful view. The atmosphere is peaceful and relaxing, the menu has solid options, and when the food is prepared right, it's full of flavor. The drinks were also really good, even the virgin margarita was a smash hit. A few things could definitely be improved: service felt slow even though it wasn't very busy, and there wasn't any welcome or smiles when we arrived, just kind of routine. Parking can be tough, and if you have mobility issues, even the short walk from out front could be a bit much. That said, we're open to giving it another try. There are other items on the menu we're curious to try, and we visit Duluth at least once or twice a year so hopefully next time, the service will step up and this place can become one of our go-to spots.

Delicious!! The walleye cakes are so flavorful and light. We really enjoyed the sauce on the cakes paired with the dill cabbage. The cheese curds are out of this world with the jalepeno raspberry jam! So good. For main meals we had the brisket grilled cheese and the wagu beef steak sandwich. We both liked the brisket grilled cheese more. Great service and views.

Great atmosphere for sure...food was good but not superior to the steak I make at home. I was impressed by the vegetable selection and the perfection in the taste and tenderness of those items. The cocktail menu was massive in various selections. I enjoyed the THC Cosmopolitan very much.

I came here over the weekend, I really enjoyed myself. My wife and I sat out on the patio and shared a bacon cheeseburger and walleye cakes. I couldn’t get a picture of the walleye we ate it kinda fast they were so delicious. It came with a tasty aioli sauce and some green and pickled cabbage. The fries were so crispy and flavorful. The bacon on the burger could have been done more and separately then assembled to keep that integrity of the flavor to complete the burger. But it was still good. The waitress was really nice and attentive, made sure my burger was cook right, I really appreciated that!

The atmosphere is super neat being on the lake and we were super excited for dinner to celebrate a birthday. Our server was polite, but he only came to our table three times. Once when we sat down to take our drink order, second time to deliver drinks and our appetizer, and then once to deliver our meal. Never stopped to ask how the food was, never asked if we wanted another drink or a refill. My seafood pasta was dry and tasted like pizza sauce was just dumped on top. It was supposed to have shrimp and there were zero shrimp. My date ordered a salad with his meal and it never came. I feel like we were totally forgotten about at our table. There were three other tables being served/bussed in our part of the restaurant. All three tables were served and cashed out meanwhile we were still sitting with empty water glasses and waiting 30+ minutes for our check after we finished our meals. For my partner's birthday we were going to order dessert but it was not worth waiting another hour for that. I had high hopes but left incredibly disappointed!

Great atmosphere. We had reservations but got here early so decided to just eat at the lounge area. Service was great and all our food was already packed as you go container so we were able to take it back to our room. One dish was the meatloaf with fries and garlic green beans. Another was the $60 filet mignon with mash potatoes and wild rice. All sides were great except I wished the green beans had been cooked just a tad bit longer and better attention to removing the ends. The meatloaf was good. Although, I wished it had a richer meat taste, it was still very good. The filet mignon was a bit disappointing in flavor. It just didn’t have what I would usually expect from this cut. It was tender and the cut itself was good but the flavor was missing. The wild rice soup was also very good, but missing the seasoning that pushes it into the top level. Personally I like mine with a bit more seasoning (poultry seasoning does wonders) and refined with some white wine. But it was smooth in creaminess and fat content. So still a good soup.

I’ve been here multiple times and I’ve had excellent experiences. The bar staff is fantastic and friendly, and they’re always on top of things. This place is definitely a gem. It’s all about the staff. These people are legit. Great job bartending crew. Also, those pizza rolls are legit, and the boneless buffalo wings.

Very good pizza. The "Meat" Me pizza was really good. There's also some machines like a virtual golf game, a smart jukebox, and a hunting game. Also recommend the rolls for appetizers!

I gotta let you guys know a little bit about an experience. We had out at Old Chicago in Duluth right off a canal park. This is something that I need to share because it meant a lot to me. To actually have this experience at a real real real great Pizza place. Old Chicago, and what I want to tell you about is the pepperoni. Pizza, that was so amazing, served by our just ultra talented waitress. Brooke, and let me repeat that ultra talented waitress Brook. Uh, we also had the artichoke dip, which did not fail to amuse and entertain. It was entertainment for our mouths, delicious, uh, on top of that. The spaghetti was so good. I even ate the piece that my son dropped on the table. It was so good. I'm just like I'm eating that, I'm eating that. Look let's get back to the service because it's it's worth coming back and revisiting, how excellent the service was here. Okay, typically, Pizza takes what 30 minutes 25 minutes to to cook. Uh you know and that's in like a firestone oven, but, uh, twenty minutes less than twenty minutes hot, delicious pizza don't know how they do it, but they do it. Spaghetti, just coming back to that again noodles done el dante. So yes, our waitress, yes, she did it all took care of the kids and made them smile. She was pleasant and funny to me and my wife made sure that we got taken care of got our food done out on time. Okay, everything you could ask for in service when it comes to service. I literally asked her to pick me a random beer. She literally picked my favorite beer out of the hundreds of beers they had there she picked the one I like the best. When you get that kind of service where people just innately know what to do to service, the customer in an efficient and pleasant manner. That's rare. Get out to this place, get up, get off your butt, go there, do it now. I'm gonna put some pictures up of some of the delicious food we had like the wonderful spaghetti that my kids had. The delicious pepperoni Pizza with a sauce that is unlike any sauce that I've ever tasted in my life, and the savory creamy, cheesy artichoke dip that just melts in your mouth and on the chip. Just delicious so get out there. Pour yourself a Pabst Blue Ribbon with an icy mug and get out there and have a slice and enjoy yourself request Brooke, because she does it right. She'll, make sure you get your food out hot. That's it. See ya!

I like it. Consistently good. I don't know why it's so hard to find a decent calzone (or stromboli), but old Chicago has one, and they're huge and delicious. It's also the only thing I've ever gotten at an old Chicago so I can't speak for the rest of the menu.

Pizza and drink selection is always great. Service can be a bit slow, especially drinks from the bar, but it’s a big space and lots of dots to connect. This happens even when they don’t seem busy. Regardless, we will continue to eat & drink here 😊

AMAZING FOOD! The flavor of the pizzas were wonderful! Literally the best pizza I've ever had. My mom got the cauliflower crust and she said it's the best cauliflower crust she's ever had. You would never know it was a veggie crust. The service was quick and constant. Our server was super sweet and checked in with us regularly, making sure we had everything we wanted.

Very smooth fast service. Was very happy with food and the flavors that came through. Will gladly be stoping again, an trying something new as well

Jefferson was an amazing server. He was very polite even while running into the issue of ordering crab queso. The kitchen had ran out and needed to prep for more but he found alternative and was nice about it. He checked on us the right amount and wasn’t overbearing. The food was amazing too I just had wasn’t a fan of the mashed potatoes but that’s just me. Overall it was a great experience. Thank you Jefferson!

Date night was a success! Thank you Sabrina for serving us! Everything was delicious! Really impressed by the seafood boil! My boyfriend and I loved the crab topped potato and steak as well! Great service, great atmosphere, no complaints from us. Would come back again!

Sarah was our server and she was amazing! Food was so good too. The server had a smile on her face through our whole experience. She refilled our drinks, remembered all the ranch on the side, and even made my family smile through it all. What a great gal! I hope she’s my server the next time I come in!

Sydney was the best waitress we’ve had in a long time! She definitely has a gift for service treating her guest like she would want to be treated. She was very attentive and friendly making our anniversary dinner special. The food was excellent and the anniversary Sunday topped it all off.

Great vibe! Good service! Good atmosphere! To many menu options and didn't know you could do half a pound of crab legs it only had 1 pound on the menu. Otherwise exceptional!

We had a great time out and absolutely loved the food here. This is a perfect example of how you can have a wonderful time and it doesn't even have to be with lobster and crab. 🦀 I tend to go for the rainbow trout but I went with coconut shrimp and garlic shrimp and did not regret it. 🦐🥥

Enjoyed the new cajun boil. The sailor boil has shrimp galore. The sausage has a nice but not over the top kick. Sabrina is an awesome server. She was on it like an Easter bonnet.

We have been here a couple of times and it is great each time! Their entire menu is delicious- they have home made pasta, slow cooked porchetta, and delicious salmon. Their beer is great and they also have wine and cocktails. The building is very interesting and it’s been fun to look up the history. We can’t wait to come back and try more menu items!

We enjoy checking out new places and knew we had to check this place out once we found it on Google. The parking was hard because the building has multiple uses, but the building and atmosphere are top-notch! As others have stated, the wooden menus are cool but harder to use. Thankfully, it has a decent selection of different options. All the food had good flavor and the presentation was nice. The prices are a little on the higher side compared to portion sizes. Service was friendly and professional. I also liked how open everything is, and that shows how clean they keep it. We enjoyed it and will most likely be back when we're in the area.

Tried Clyde’s for the first time yesterday evening… The entire experience was five stars , the atmosphere was amazing and customer service was second to none! Bill the bartender was on top of his game giving awesome advice on drinks and the new strip steak …OMG was the best steak I have ever had the pleasure to enjoy ! I had to stop the owner even I was so impressed. Loved it so much we’re stopping back this evening !

We had our wedding ceremony and reception in the main event center and wow it was stunning! Also, clyde has awesome catering - the food options are great and it is all delicious! We loved the pasta bar. We have gone to Clyde for breakfast and dinner before and loved it so I'm not surprised their catering is amazing. This building is stunning and has cool history. If you want to create a elegant, warm, fun, industrial atmosphere then look no further. I would highly recommend having your wedding at the venue. I loved all the spaces (getting ready suite, main event room, and overall layout). Just book here! You won't regret it!

Great food and cocktails! The atmosphere is pretty cool and the staff were very friendly.

Cool place. The building was a factory in its golden age. They make their own pasta. We had the sandwiches and burgers. I recommend.

We cooked our own steak on a cooking stone and it was SOOOO GOOD! I had a chicken salad with fruits veggies and parmesan dill dressing that was amazing. 10/10

Nice little bar a short jaunt from the hustle of the lift bridge flurry. Menu prices don’t include fries which are an additional $3.99. That’s spendy and the serving size is stingy. Burgers are good. By passed the tap beer but there were many to choose from.

Love this place! Awesome food and great service! Tony in the kitchen is the Man!! It has become a tradition of mine to stop there every time I'm in Duluth. I ALWAYS ask for the "Mexi-Burger". It's not on the menu, but it's greatest burger of All Time! Made by Tony himself 👌🏻 Go get yourself a Cold One and a greeeaatt Burger! You won't regret it

Great beer selection—need more local. Service was okay—better service for those in the circle. Surly Axe Man is excellent. Ordered the 7 West Melt. “Sourdough” tasted like white bread. Barely any color and no fat—fat is flavor. Didn’t taste the Swiss. Minimal flat top treatment on the onions—these should be caramelized. Killed the burger meat. I’ve had better frozen Bubba burgers. Upscaled with a order of onion rings at $6.29. Out of a bag—half were overcooked and half underdone. The patty melt should be cohesive not a separated mess. Not a fan of the food or their “efficient” process machines in the kitchen. They don’t care what they’re cranking out. Train wreck of a meal with exception to the brewski.

Absolutely recommend this place!! They have a huge selection of taps from all over Minnesota and beyond. Burgers are cooked near perfection and paired with your choice of flavored tots or fries which are hand cut right in front of you!!. Best part...the food is cheap!! Take a detour from the fanciness of Canal Park and hit up this joint...you won't be disappointed!!

The food here is pretty awesome!! The atmosphere has a cool vibe to it, inside it is appealing with the colors and wall decor. I can't say the staff is super friendly, the majority of them from what I have experienced are, some however, are not as much. Overall, a great place to go for drinks and food.

Lol people dont come here for the food the wontons should be taken off the menu it has hardly any stuffing and I like the that the tenders are made there but they should take into consideration how small they're cutting the pieces because by the time they get fried your literally feeding people just breading the tots were really the main winner with great taste

I ordered the lightly deep fried cauliflower appetizer thinking there would be bigger pieces of cauliflower. This was what I got. Overpriced for an appetizer menu and definitely not what other locations of 7west show as the picture of what the lightly deep fried cauliflower appetizer looks like.

If you've never had real Vietnamese pho, you'd think this was good. But I have been a pho-natic for years and know what real authentic pho is and how it's made. Comparing this place to a pho place in the cities, this place lacks some things for being an actual pho restaurant such as tripe, star anise, red chili flake oil and Thai basil. The fried items seemed like it was either refried or the frying oil was old or dark and burnt as the wontons were dark and really hard to chew as well as the egg rolls and sesame chicken. The pho broth seemed like it was diluted and bland with lots of onions in it. Also, the portions for $11.95 were smaller than I'd expect. The service was not too bad as most places this day in age are under staffed and our food came out within minutes of ordering. I'd say give this place a try, but it could be much better and more authentic.

Yummy pho but fried rice & stir fry can be better. Service was great despite the business.

It's OK but if you've never had authentic pho, you'd know authentic pho is so much better! I've been a pho-natic for years and have tried many places in the twin cities as well as living with a Vietnamese family. They lacked Vietnamese menu items like Thai basil and tripe. The menu could use a description for what each meal is or has in it. The broth seemed watered down, not very flavorful and full of onions. The portion seemed small for being almost $12, whereas most pho restaurants are only about $9 with a bigger serving and even bigger sizes available. The egg rolls and anything fried seemed hard, dark brown and chewy like it was refried or the fryer oil was old/burnt. The service was ok and friendly but like a lot of places they seemed under staffed. Good ahead and give them a try if you're in the area.

I never tried Vietnamese food before. So we tried a combo with sesame chicken fried rice and a roll. The rice was tasty but the chiken preparation was very sweet, so i didn't like it.

The food was bland, subpar for even cheap Chinese restaurants, the fried rice had no color, the egg roll was disgusting, and the sauce for my main course was advertised to be slightly sweet and spicy…it was neither of those. The fortune cookie was the best thing I ate. The service was arguably worse, 2 people yelling at each other in the kitchen about family drama and going to college. I’m not surprised I was the only one in the restaurant. I will not be back.

Beef and vegetable combo with an egg roll and delicious friend rice. My husband called it special because it was so good. The meat and vegetables were perfectly seasoned. Very big portions. The egg roll was different, it was not filled with shredded veggies as I expected. It was a meaty mixture. Kinda weird. The wontons were crispy and good. We will be back!!

The food was okay. Beef vegetable stir fry was so salty the fried rice coil t even help it. Pho was okay just which they had actual chili oil (spicy kind). Egg rolls were okay not that good and the chicken wings they provide oyster sauce for you to dip in which is super weird but to each their own.

Just was in and I got General Tso’s chicken which was amazing as usual. I didn’t finish my chicken and I got a leftovers box but forgot my chicken in the box at my table. I remember and came back about 5 - 10 minutes later and asked about it. They apologized and said it had been thrown away. I said thank you and was preparing to leave but they said they would give me some fried rice and about 2 minutes later I got a big container of hot fried rice. The staff are so kind and respectful. I love this restaurant and will definitely be coming back!

I’ll start with how the food was. The food was amazing, well seasoned with quick service. They were very accommodating of to our diet preference of veganism. Our host was understanding and diligent with his duties. We were asked to sanitize our hands the moment we entered the restaurant. The tables we spaced well to facilitate social distancing. After a table left, the table and chairs were sanitized. When we paid the check, he sanitized my card after. My tip was even sanitized. I highly recommend this restaurant for the food, the service, the sanitization, and safety.

This restaurant offers delicious food. The atmosphere inside the restaurant is comfortable with plenty of seats, even for parties. The food quantity is good. I did not like the proxy meat option though. Loved to be here while visiting Lake Duluth!

Same high quality food ordered cafeteria style. They offer combos with entree + egg roll + fried rice, entrees alone, tea, soda, and other items! Some of our families favorite dishes are; mock duck with vegetables and sweet and sour chicken. How it’s done: Place your order at the front, pay, take a table inside or a bench outside, collect food from front table, enjoy at a table inside or to go! I took pictures after we started enjoying the food so I didn’t capture how neatly the food was assembled to bring to the tables. They provide easy to transport To-Go friendly packaging too. There are tables inside for groups of 2-12 people. Easy, fast, hot, delicious, great portions. Sharing a variety of dishes, we spent ~$10-$12 a person. A great meal out in Canal Park.

The place was good, neat and clean but the food was okay. We order combination plates (Chicken with Lemongrass with Egg-roll) and Chicken wings in special garlic sauce. We were expecting it more spicy than it was served. The chicken wings dish was sweet in taste. The quantity of the food is good based on the price.

This restaurant serves a mixture of both Vietnamese and Chinese cuisine. It is a small and cozy restaurant within the area of Duluth. They have a few tables to accommodate up to 6 people, but they can accommodate for more. The service was above average with no wow factor. As for the food, I had pho and I was fairly disappointed by the small amount of rice noodles I got, the broth tasted all right, but wasn't quite authentic. I left the place with a half-empty stomach.

Loved the appatizer sampler, it was a little oily but definitely enjoyed the variety. Higly recommend to try it considering the price. Some of the dishes like chicken mangolia was a little on the sweeter side. Would have personally preferred it to be spicier. Nice little place with very quick service and good management. Would recommend if you like Chinese or Vietnamese cusine.

I wished I had taken some pictures. The food was really good, and goodsize portions, the prices were very reasonable. We shared 2 meals and an appetizer between 4 people Definitely come back here.

We were happy with our service, but I do not recommend the Whitefish Pot Pie. Clever idea since it is supposed to be fresh from local suppliers, but poorly executed. Appearance was nice, but was very bland, dry since there was no sauce, and instead of chunks of whitefish it was minced to the point you couldn't tell it was actually fish. It was $32, and ended up not eating it. They tried making up a sauce for it which we appreciated, but it equally had no taste. Thankfully they did not charge me for the meal which I appreciate.

Read the mission statement description on the menu title page that includes the words"Deversity, Equity, and Inclusion". Sounds good, but why does this always include staff with brightly colored hair and too many ear/nose rings? Why does it feel like we are being judged by staff in these places like we may not be good enough to associate with the mall? All of this is good and fine until you sit down with your family of four for dinner. Your family begins to eat, finishes their meal, and you or I am still waiting for our steak. Curious, I walked down the stairs near the kitchen to hear a conversation that my meal was not started at all. Well, or at least at the same time as my family's, gr! I waited about thirty odd minutes. My family done with their meal, I received my meal(see attached photo full pate and empty plates) The floor manager was great dealing with their mistake taking my meal of the tab. The bartender was not very understanding, making a comment, "Well, working in a restaurant you would know what it can be like." My point is; Food was great, most staff had good intentions, but if a person doesn't focus on their basic job, all efforts are for not. Their mission statement, the nice restaurant, the staff, the discounted meal, etc. means nothing when my poor experience is all I can remember. Always focus on the very important details of your job/mission and your goals will always fall in to place.

Excellent food and service! The Whitefish and grits was great, curry the best and mussels, steak bites so good. The bread though...omg..I almost said "let's forego dinner and just eat this bread" it's that good.

This place is a gem! Everything we ordered was incredible. Very vegan friendly and many sober options. We got the trout, pork, wild rice bowl, vegan scallops, and the bahn mi with soup. So good! The flavors were well balanced and the food was nutritious and filling. Highly recommend the tofu it was so flavorful. As well as the vegan scallops. We had someone who hated mushrooms but they actually loved the trumpet mushroom scallops. Yum! Everyone was happy.

What a delightful experience. Dinner before seeing a show at the Duluth Playhouse/NorShor Theater. Very upbeat vibe, great cocktails, and a small but amazing menu. Very unique entree preparations that were fresh and tasty. The Vegan Scallops were the most surprising and a must try if you love scallops and/or mushrooms! Highly recommend this establishment.

Great service, huge portions, and really good food! We ordered a soup and a main each and were stuffed. Their wild rice and chicken and orange ginger carrot soups were hearty and fresh. The fish sandwich was so flavorful and came with the biggest side of fries. Bonus points for the great poster display outside the bathrooms. Definitely check it out!

Zeitgeist currently offers a selection of vegan appetizers, salads, soups, bowls, and sandwiches, but they did not have vegan entrees or desserts on the menu. The atmosphere is upscale and modern. However, it's worth noting that during our visit, they seemed to be experiencing a staffing shortage. Therefore, I would recommend making reservations in advance since there are limited tables available, and you might experience a longer wait for your meal. We ordered the vegan báhn mi, vegan ginger carrot soup, vegan scallops and vegan fried wild rice bowl. The presentation of all the dishes was quite appealing, and I must say, the vegan scallops were the best I've ever had - truly delicious! Overall, it was a pretty good experience, and I particularly enjoyed the lovely atmosphere.

We went on a Saturday night for one of their comedy shows and had a solid good time. The drinks were strong, the atmosphere was exactly as a pub should be and the service was spot on. The comedians need to see a therapist about their obsession with their history of, apparently incessant, pubescent masterbation! Unfortunately they both seemed to think that was the only subject they could find that would ensure laughter. It was funny for about 10 minutes but then it felt like middle school for the remainder of the show. The food was fair, my wife had fish and chips and enjoyed her basket. I had the shepard's pie and it was decent but way over salted and I like salty food. But, thankfully, like I said earlier, the drinks were really strong.

My wife and I have been homeless in Duluth for the past 6 months. This bar and one of it's employees became the first time I have experienced discrimination in Duluth due to our status as homeless. The bartender working last night opened the front door as we stood on a public sidewalk next to the bar. We were not there long, and we weren't disruptive or causing and issues at all nor were we blocking access to customers in any way. The bartender looked at my wife, a friend who is also homeless in a wheel chair, and my wife then proceeded to tell us we could not be standing by his business because we were turning away customers. I couldn't believe he discriminated because he knew we are homeless. Duluth has an enormous problem on their hands with the overwhelming population of homeless. Many of us have done nothing to deserve homelessness, we're also not drug addicts who choose to spend their money on drugs rather than necessities. Personally, I grew up in a wealthier family and have vacationed here since I was born. I have an education and owned my own business that was very successful. I went from the top of society to the bottom in a short period of time which was not my fault unfortunately. If you have any morals. If you have a heart, and if you believe stereotyping, and discrimination regardless of the situation is wrong do not patronize this business. If I could I would shut them down specifically for this very incident whether I was discriminated or had been a witness. I hope the owner of Dubh Linn reads this. I may be homeless, but I am not idiot. I also have an education, and I previously owned a business myself. If the owner is reading this before you receive anything from my attorney first, I have every intention to make it publicly known on social media and news publications of this discrimination. I also will be following through with my attorney filing a discrimination lawsuit so I receive monetary compensation for the discrimination by your bar. I am not going to be keeping everything I am awarded in court. It will help other individuals who have become like family. Those of us who are homeless for the most part stick together, we help each other, and none of us deserve to be told to leave a public sidewalk because we look and are homeless. I hope your bar is boycotted hopefully forcing you to shut down or the city shuts you down for the act committed by an employee of yours. If the owner wishes to settle this atrocity before I hand it to my attorney please comment on this with a way to contact you. If not, as I said above, I have no issue following through with a discrimination lawsuit.

Dubh Linn was awesome, we went on Thursday night for the amateur comedy night and the atmosphere was great. Free pool & darts were great options. Our fries were very good, crispy and flavorful. Bartender was super nice and friendly, everyone in the staff team just loved to be there and was happy to help some new faces. If I was local I’d be coming here often.

This place had some pretty good food. You grab a menu and order at bar. I had lamb Sheperds pie & a side of cabbage & veggies...delish! My friend had shrimp & fries and said they were good too. Of course the Guinness was great. Atmosphere was older but comfortable. There was a nook area with a fireplace & comfy looking chairs. A charming old red phone booth. The booths for seating were super high, so if your height challenged it may be hard to get into, but there are other seating options. I'd like to stop back at another time & maybe play pool and try more things on the menu.

Nice Irish pub in downtown Duluth. Great place for group celebration. Great beer selections and full bar service. Very accommodating staff who catered to our varied needs, with young family members and an older segment as well as good food selections. Nicely appointed with colorful flags and a clean interior that was very inviting.

Extremely disappointing experience. I went to this bar and felt clearly unwelcome as a person of color. The bartender with dark hair parted to the side treated me and my friends very rudely compared to other guests. It genuinely felt discriminatory — we were questioned and ignored while others were served right away. No one should be made to feel uncomfortable or singled out because of their background. I hope the owners take this seriously and train their staff to treat everyone with the same respect.

Limited staff with unlimited smiles 😃 what a treasure to have found on a girl's trip. They offer a small eating menu but a mastered menu for certain. A wide selection of drinks to choose from and served with compassion! The Reuben was scrumptious and flavorful with a precise balance of fresh, moist meat and lightly crispy toasted rye bread. The garlic mashed potatoes did not warrant any touches of flavor. The cheesy spinach artichoke burger was bursting with robust flavors igniting a savoring euphoria💞

We ordered Chicken Tikka Masala, Beef Malabar, Chicken Malabar, Chicken Saag, garlic naan and paneer naan, and then their side of “pickles.” Everything was very good! No complaints and decent pricing. A great spot in Duluth that adds more diversity in our palettes.

Very good food and Kiran and Tanya were very professional in seating and serving us. Street Parking is free after 5:30PM. Ambience was kind of okay. Portions were very good for the price. The only thing we didn't like was they added a 13% Charge on top of our bill in addition to State Tax. So, i guess TIPS aren't optional anymore. LOL. This is the only Indian Restaurant in the City & we are very thankful for that. Overall a very good experience. Thanks

Great Biryanis! The level of spice was fine and tolerable for me so I could enjoy the taste! But the rice was not well cooked! Such nice and welcoming staff in a beautiful place! It was a bit expensive but worth try some Indian food with your level of spices!

Great atmosphere, delicious food. Chicken curry was by far my favorite. The garlic nann bread is to die for.

We arrived late in their midday open hours; website doesn’t show the varied hours or the schedule for the lunch buffet, which isn’t available on Thursdays. Few customers and we received excellent service. The food divine I experience nirvana when eating good Indian food. This place did not disappoint. Yum!!!

was very disappointed with my experience at this restaurant. The food was extremely bland, lacking any real flavor or seasoning you’d expect from Indian cuisine. The chicken dishes were especially poor — the meat tasted as if it had been frozen and then just dipped in a plain tomato sauce, with no depth or spice. The chicken itself didn’t seem fresh and had an off texture that made it hard to enjoy. Overall, it felt like very little care went into the preparation of the food. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this place.

One of the unique Indian Restaurants I've been to. The food is really good but what makes it more special is that the meaningful paintings and decor that they have put up to showcase the country. The service was decent but the chef did come up personally and asked how the food was. This is a must try if you are in Duluth.

The price of all you can eat is awesome $25 on a Saturday. You cant find that anywhere in the cities. The sushi was good. They do charge for uneaten food and the rolls they give you are BIG! So keep that in mind when getting all you can eat. They also say No sharing. We went on a Saturday night. The appetizers came at a decent rate, however we waited about an hour after the appetizers to get our sushi. I would come back but not on a Saturday night!

Absolutely spectacular sushi and sashimi!! Vast menu covers everything Asian, in addition to sushi. We had the sushi for 2, fried squid, and a crab salad via DoorDash. Every item was the BEST we’ve ever had, and could easily have fed 3-4. I cannot describe how fresh and high quality the sushi was. And the prices are great, especially compared to the twin cities. Incredible!

The food was delicious, the service was great, we had to wait 5 mins for our food. I would highly recommend stopping by to get some food.

For an "all you can eat" sushi restaurant, I'd recommend this one over the one in Superior. The sushi is good. I really wish they have ramen and sashimi also. Tako yakis are fantastic!

Great food for such a great price. Service was mid, never got refills but still recommend.

The food here was amazing and fresh! Staff were all very nice. The prices are very reasonable. The menu has an amazing selection. The wait here was significantly shorter than other nearby restaurants. The atmosphere is clean and decorated nicely. I would love to return!

Got the lunch special with my friend. Came with clear soup which was amazing!! Service was excellent and fast! Pork gyozas were delicious too

Super cute little Mexican restaurant hidden in the strip mall. Once we snagged a parking spot down the road a ways we walked in and got seated right away, service was great, staff very kind and served us smiling. There are a lot of businesses and not the largest parking lot so it was harder to get a place to park. Plenty of food for the price, very good! A wonderful lunch selection. 😋 I love the decor and colors of all the tables and chairs, its a very fun and happy atmosphere.

Aztecas is one of my favorite restaurants in Duluth. The food tastes amazing, the portions are generous, the lunch specials are very reasonably priced. The staff is very kind and always happy to help with my food allergy. Pictured are the fajitas and the fajita burrito, as well as the chips salsa and bean dip.

You won't find a better burrito in the Midwest and the prices are unbelievably fair. I've been all over the southwest and still haven't come across better Mexican food than what they are serving at Azteca's It's in a strip mall, but don't let that deter you. Excellent.

Excellent flavor from south of the border. The chili verde was as good as I’ve had and the lunch met all my expectations. We were first timers and I can now say this is our favorite restaurant from our neighbor, Mexico!

Excellent experience at Azteca’s Mexican Grill! Everything was amazing—from the friendly service to the delicious food. We tried the carne asada, carnitas, and the sizzling mixed fajitas, and all were packed with flavor and perfectly cooked. The portions were generous, and the sides like rice, beans, guacamole, and pico de gallo were fresh and tasty. Highly recommended—definitely coming back!

Love the food. I like the seafood chimi. Nice atmosphere. Wonderful staff.

Great price for the amount of food you get and the service was very good. Got the Chimichanga. Would eat here again.

They were one of the best spots for wings but this was the worst service and respons to our problem. First, the driver forgot the wings (we ordered pizza too) so I call and they offered a credit but we wanted wings. The driver returns with wings and we got four wings and three pieces of wings - the parts normally thrown away. So I call back and send pics and was told they would bring this up to the owners. I was told they weigh up a pound and it should be 5-7 wings. My wife emails the owners as well. It's been five days and we haven't heard a thing! Don't waste your $16 on the wings, not worth it because you'll get a few wings with a few skin covered bones which we obviously didn't eat as you will see in the pics.

This was a hidden Duluth gem that we discovered when we were searching for a pizza place that we've not been to yet in the northland. The pizza was absolutely phenomenal, that crust and the sauce were just so darn delicious. I love the pizza places that can successfully pull off thinner crusts that have a doughy texture. My wife got the tzatziki pita, she really enjoyed that and said she'd return just for that item on its own. I also love that they have windows on the outside of the restaurant but in the hall of this little mall so you can see the magic happen in the kitchen. Service was incredibly awesome, being fast and very family friendly. We'll be back again when we visit Duluth.

Bulldog is my families favorite place to get pizza in the Duluth area. The quality of food and service is top notch. The staff is friendly and accommodating, especially for having young children. We always start our order with dough dogs, best item on the menu! My kids would eat there 7 days a week if we let them. We love Bulldogs!!!

Bulldog Pizza is a Duluth staple - whether you join family, friends or need alone time, delicious food is enjoyed in a great setting! I love the outdoor seating option - when the weather is nice in Duluth you have to take advantage of it! The owners and staff are friendly and care deeply about each customer who walks through the door. And for all the moms: yes it is kid friendly!!

Food was great, service was excellent, atmosphere was nice. Only reason for 4 stars was because we requested salami on only half. They put it on the whole pizza but bacon on only half. They let us know, offered to remake it, but we said it was fine. They said they were going to give a discount for the mix up but never did. I didn't say anything, just paid the bill.

The staff was very friendly, accommodating and always there when we needed them. They have a good selection to choose from on the menu and the food itself was amazing. I'm very impressed.

I thought my pizza was okay, definitely not the best in town, but it was good.

OMG...this is the worst place ever to eat at...walking in the floors were sticky...my son and I should have turned around and left but we were hungry and we love Chinese Food...but this place...gross...only thing good was the egg drop soup...DO NOT EAT HERE!!! There was a note on door when you walk in saying Please wait to be seated...but nobody did seat us...we had to stand at counter 1st to order...by pictures I shared you can see dirty tables and instead of the soda coming already in glass we had to do it ourselves...the food had no taste whatsoever and tasted funny too...we left our plates still full and spent 31 dollars for nothing

I order hot and sour soup ,broccoli chicken ,and tofu with pork dishes .The lady was so rude when we enter the restaurant she didn’t even greet us and ask us what we want .She was looking straight to me like she never see human being before . The food was absolutely bad .everything was so salty and sours .As I told her I can’t consume that kind of sour food .She said this is our style and couldn’t able to fix it . She is extreme rude .She even put bowls and plate with attitude .everything have filled with celery.Not recommended for lunch and necer go back again .It’s not worth it for your time and money .

The food here is good a bit pricier than some others around. I love the beef fried rice. If you get fried wontons they can be a little stale. Overall they are quick and tasty.

When did egg Foo young start getting served with a thick type of chicken gravy?! My husband was extremely disappointed when he got his order. The pork lo mein was literally the only thing in our order that was good. The hot and sour soup was far too sour and didn't have any veggies. The sweet and sour chicken...the chicken was dry the kids didn't want to touch it. What a waste of almost 80 bucks!

meh. basic Chinese food. just had my Cashew Chicken delivered but it's mostly celery (lots of celery, weird) and I'm hard pressed to find more than a few cashews (see photo) so I feel kinda ripped off. Oyster chicken wings are good but I won't buy any more entrees after seeing what I got for cashew chicken (should be called 'celery chicken').

I have lived in Duluth for awhile now and I can say that this place easily has some of the better/best Chinese food options in the city if you're not looking to spend a ton of money. The food is pretty good and the service is really consistent. I get a combo for myself each time and the price is really great for what you get. The parking lot and place is a little rundown, but everything else is great here! Compared to other Chinese takeout restaurant's in Duluth this is by far my favorite, their fried rice is easily the best as well!

I've been ordering from China Cafe for years. They always get my order right, and I love the food! Also, they have friendly people working there. Thanks, y'all!

First time and last. I'll start with the appetizer. The chips and queso, chips good. Look homemade, taste fresh. The dip was Luke warm with a clump of stale fried jalapeños. Old... Then our meals, the burger was undercooked. My Flatbread was overcooked with tossed on soggy onion crispers/rings. Then the oversized Pretzel, well it was amazing. The cheese sauce tasted grainy/old just awful. Waitress wasn't in our business every second so I liked that but our drinks were empty for quite some time. Orders did come out quick though. Cook in his avocado pants was cool. 1 of your waitresses had no problem arguing with the bartender about something, wasn't exactly great ambiance. We came in around 3:30 so it wasn't really busy,. So I am going to assume maybe you were under staffed or had a lot of to go orders, since our food wasn't so great. Looks nice inside. However the looks of the place and the pretzel are not enough to have us become repeaters.

My friends and I came here for lunch around 1 PM and ordered the Caprese grilled cheese, the Tot Lucy burger, and the California Lucy. The service and atmosphere were both okay nothing particularly memorable, but nothing bad either. Unfortunately, the experience was let down by the food. When the California Lucy arrived, it was just a plain Lucy, missing the toppings that make it the “California” version. When we let the staff know, they brought out a replacement but it was noticeably undercooked. She did not end up eating the uncooked burger patty, she just added the old burger patty to the sandwich with the correct toppings. So overall that made the entire experience disappointing as well as potentially dangerous.

The nachos were just ok. The Sioux Falls location does them much better. My Old Fashioned was ok too. All around pretty whatever. The bourbon molasses wing sauce is my all time favorite by far. I really like the way they do their boneless wings.

Excellent meeting friends for drinks, food, and conversation. Good choice on menu for everyone. They even created a special cheeseburger for one of us. Excellently prepared and delivered hot to the table,even though it was a busy time. Wide selection of beer and some special cocktails. Highlight was our server, Chase, who did not hover, but was right with us to answer questions or make suggestions. We stayed much longer than intended. Can’t wait to return.

Monday after the Superbowl. Parking was tricky, but once inside, we were seated at a spacious booth. Inside felt like a typical Ale House/Bar/Club. Few customers, and even fewer workers. However, our server was polite and responsive. Previously reading about their Juicy Lucy burgers had us each ordering one, along with a very tasty appetizer, their Totchos. Basically, this was a jumbo (quite large, as it served us three) tater tot stuffed w/ Serrano peppers, bacon, green onions, and melted cheddar, pepper jack cheese, and sour cream. It was very tasty, and worth ordering! Our Juicy Lucy's, one Jalapeño, a Beer Cheese, and a Wrangler, also were very good, arriving at our booth shortly after our appetizer was finished. I would challenge the advertised half pound of fries, though. Our respective dishes had maybe a quarter pound of fries, each. We also shared a yummy dessert, the Turtle Brownie. This was a fabulous finish to our first visit. While there appear to be several negative reviews by other customers, we have only positive feedback to offer up. We now are loyal, raving fans! We highly recommend Crooked Pint Ale House and know we will be back.

It had been a while since we had been to Crooked Pint and like the many times before, we were not disappointed. We enjoy sitting at their spacious and comfortable bar. Service and food were excellent, really like there Lucy's and they have a nice selection of refreshments on tap to choose from.

My wife and I stopped in recently. Both of our meals were not good. We ordered nachos as an appetizer and the chicken was very dry, it tasted like it was microwaved. For the entrees, she got fish tacos and I got the Jalapeno Lucy. According to the online menu, it says the cod is beer- battered; however, it tasted like it was frozen out of a bag. The Jalapeño Lucy had very hard fried jalapeños- which tasted like they sat out overnight. Overall, not impressed at all.

This place is already something, but could be much more with their expansive layout & volleyball too. Seems to have an older afternoon crowd, but the college group would love this place with a bit of "college nights" events.

Took 45 minutes in an empty bar to bring me boneless wings, which looked like they were Costco chicken nuggets. They didn’t even put the sauce on them, they just had cups. Of mediocre sauce for dipping. A shame, seems OP was been going downhill.

The atmosphere was quiet and pleasant. The service was slow, but only seen one waitress the whole time we were there. Wraps were eye appealing - Caesar one was decent - buffalo chicken one missed the mark on flavor and being spicy at all. Steak was over cooked - asked for medium, got well done and looked steamed rather than cooked - also was not eye appealing and flavor also missed the mark. Cranberry toast was decent, but the turkey was not pleasant. Cheese curds were very skimpy as far as how many we got and didn't have much flavor. I don't think I would return for a second shot. Other tables seemed to be satisfied with the burgers they got - so maybe their sweet spot is in the burgers vs. some other menu items.

We went there for brunch Sunday. Sat down and waitress got us water, gave us menus and we ordered. We waited an hour and 15 minutes with no one talking to us about where our order was. Everyone in the entire area had their orders taken and no one was served their food including a couple and a group of 3 that were seated when we originally walked in. Nothing! We walked out because it was evident we weren’t getting fed anytime soon. Tough to rate the food. I guess it doesn’t matter. Why seat people if you can’t make the food. Tons of wait staff, no manager and no cooks. 🤪🤪🤪

I wish I would’ve taken a picture but I was starving so I’ll go back to get you guys one eventually. I had a burger with bacon cheese and avocado and it was sooo good as well as fries. My family tried two burgers which were also a hit. Fried pickles were mediocre but sauce was good. Waitress had called out but the bartender was still super nice.

Sorry to say that this place is local and could be nice but it’s disappointing! The owner doesn’t even welcome you, bartender is hard to get t acknowledge you.. food is good!

Went there for breakfast on Sunday morning. Was greeted decently quick at our table. Ordered a few drinks, was asked for Ids, handed them to the waitress and she threw them on the table afterwards (1st red flag). We were not checked on for refills (2nd red flag) and wanted to order more drinks. We had to wave down waitress. We then waited for our food for about a hour before again making the effort to track down our waitress to ask about the food (3rd red flag). We asked what was going on. She looked dumbfounded and didn’t know what to say. She said it would be out in 10 minutes. Our last straw was waiting for another 30 minutes and still not getting our food. We decided to pay for our drinks and leave. Unfortunately the service/communication was horrible. Definitely will not be going back. It was embarrassing for my husband and I considering we were hosting our California friend and that’s what they experienced here in MN. We ended up at the Social House who was 5x busier (TOP was not busy at all) and getting our food in about 25-30 mins.

Love the food, but maybe hire more people? 1 person on the line during a lunch rush is not sufficient. Especially when there were like 3 or 4 other people walking around doing other things with a line of customers going around the back of the store. Spent ~20mins waiting to order only to be told that they were out of chicken.

The food was excellent as always. I tried the habanero lime steak and it was very good and it actually was not as hot as I thought it would be which was actually the way I wanted it to be. I enjoy some heat I prefer about medium level heat and I felt this was the right level of heat. The ordering process was a bit chaotic and the atmosphere was a bit busy but not too loud. The staff was working hard and doing their best to provide a good quality experience.

ordered tonight and i just have one question, are yall brain dead or what?? i did not get what i ordered at all, they literally added extra things and left out what i asked for. how can you freestyle my bowl and then slap the sticker on top with the actual order and be like “yup that’s it!”. did not order lettuce or onions, but there was plenty of it! no guac or corn salsa, just elote???

QDOBA never disappoints! The food is always fresh, flavorful, and customizable to my liking. Their queso is unbeatable, and the portions are generous for the price. The staff is friendly, and the service is quick, making it a great spot for a delicious meal on the go. Highly recommend!

What a pig sty, no clean tables floors covered in garbage, and food everywhere in the serving area.

Wait times being bad seems to be a normal at QDOBA. There is no sense of urgency when taking care of customers. I had to wait over 3 minutes after my food was prepared to be rung up. Please understand that a customer's time is important.

Service here is always good and I love Qdoba food. Free queso and quac? Hell yeah. Also love to fill out the receipt surveys to get free chips and salsa.

7/27/2025 On a packed Sunday morning, it took 45 minutes to get breakfast. Despite the three servers, the space was uncomfortably warm, especially for the cooks and servers. The food arrived 45 minutes later, and my eggs over medium were dry, rubbery, and hard to cut through. The staff needs a better working environment, and the cook needs to understand how to cook eggs over medium, over easy, and well done.

Fantastic pancakes and sausage! Very kind wait staff. Really cool atmosphere. A very special place indeed. We will be back.

This is an amazing establishment! The service is fast and friendly, the food is delicious and the portions are HUGE! We ordered the everything omelette and the clubhouse sandwich. We couldn’t finish but look forward to eating the leftovers! The coffee is amazing, too. Great job!! 🏆

This is a great place for breakfast. The food was great. Each item (eggs, hashbrowns, meats, biscuits and gravy) was flavorful and cooked well. The service was great and speedy. Atmosphere is pleasant and interesting. Prices are reasonable. Parking is convenient and free.

Glad to have it here...food gets better and better. Pancakes are full of flavor. One of the best club sandwiches you will find. They use real turkey and ham that are sliced thick... The French fries / JoJo's/potato chips are out of this world and the coolest thing... Worth a trip to go here just to try them.

I had a great visit to this little treasure with a friend. Great food. Good prices. Bottomless coffee... skip the "cappuccino" though, unless you don't mind it from a mix. Definitely recommend the skillets or biscuits and gravy.

I'm not a fan of stuffed animals on walls especially when I am eating. The corned beef hash was from a can, the turkey melt was good. Mont du lac owns this place but does not offer discounts when staying at the hotel.

The food is great and the staff is super friendly. This is one of the places for Chinese food in Duluth.

Well... honestly the food was mediocre at best. They put a lot of filler foods into the dishes so they could use less expensive ingredients, but still charged more. Even their won Tons had less cream cheese. The portion size was good, but I would rather have authentic Chinese. I mean, I am sorry if you enjoy their food, but when they use Vermicelli noodles instead of lo mein noodles in the lo mein dishes... you know it's not authentic. It gets a three star basically because it was all edible and tasted close to the right stuff. However, it's far from authentic and it's not the best food by a long shot.

I haven't been here in 13 years, it's still as good as I remember it. The staff is super friendly. The food out of this world amazing. You have so many choices I really did enjoy the pork fried rice with the sweet and sour chicken. There is a bar next door if you want to get a drink but I really really did enjoy the food. The potstickers were very soft cooked to perfection, they make the gravy for a certain dish fresh every morning it tastes so good. I wish more places would make their food fresh everyday. I highly recommend this place when you can visit. Parking is kind of hard to come by in this area, but this is a great place to eat at.

We stopped in with 13 people total and each ordered a few entrees. The service being slow, approximately 45 minutes for food, wasn't surprising because we all ordered different meals, but the quality of the service was not acceptable. We were served each one small cup of water and were never asked for refills or even to have pitchers for the 13 of us until the end of our stay. On top of that, each entree had a complimentary rice bowl, but none of our entrees had it come out until the end of our stay as well. This was all while there was no one else in the restaurant. The only reason there's a star is because their hot tea was good.

We had our order delivered. The egg rolls were amazing! The new wraps were light and crispy. The chicken in the sweet and saur chicken were dig juicy chunks of chicken, lightly breaded. Not over breaded like most. We really enjoyed our meal and have found our favorite Chinese restaurant!

Ordered their food while I was a patient at Saint Mary's after giving birth. I recommend there sesame chicken and cream cheese wantons. They have great flavor and decent prices. I would definitely order take out from them again.

Ordered delivery. The sesame chicken sauce was on the side which is weird since most Chinese restaurants put it directly on the chicken. The sauce that was on the side was a spicy sweet and sour sauce not sesame chicken sauce at all. The fried rice was undercooked. Finally the egg foo young was floating in sauce yet barely had more than 4 pieces inside. Not satisfied one bit but now I know not to order from here again!
