This place is on the grounds of Giants Ridge so a nice short walk if you are staying there. It was…read moresteamy hot so we ate inside but they have a patio with beautiful views of the ski hill. I chose the Greek salad, one of my favs, and it was a very generous portion full of cucumbers, tomatoes, Kalamata olives and feta cheese, oh and a bit of lettuce - my kind of salad. Very good. Wish I would have remembered to ask for dressing on the side as it was quite covered but still good. The waitstaff was 2 people for the whole restaurant so they were super busy, especially with a couple large tables but they were friendly, warned it could be a bit of a wait and in the end, it was faster than many other restaurants we had been to. No worries there. They did a great job.

The fettuccine Alfredo was bland, the soup could have bought at Panera, and the fries and Cesar salad is nothing to write home about. The service was excellent!

After spending 4 days in the Boundary Waters canoeing and camping, and eating dehydrated foods, I…read moreasked the outfitter where there was real food in Ely, because we were dying for some. All employees at the outfitter suggested Stony Ridge for epic burgers. So off we went. The restaurant is a very unassuming place. On the outside, it looks like a tiny diner, but on the inside, it is all hardwood, floors, walls, and ceiling, with a huge amount of seating area both inside and out. Our waitress was super friendly and happy. The menu amazed me though. There were 50 different burger options. Fifty! And there were 2 pages of other non-burger menu items. I was literally amazed at the choices. It took us all a long time to order because we wanted to read through every single burger option. (and it seemed that since we were at a known burger establishment, we should all order burgers) And I've been on this kick lately trying cheese curds almost everywhere they are offered, so we ordered those as well. They also had an extensive alcoholic drink menu, which after a week of camping, I wanted to try every single one of them.... but settled for ice tea instead. The burgers that came out were really good. They weren't epic though, which was sad considering how expensive they were. My entire family really liked their burgers, but all agreed they had had better elsewhere. The cheese curds were ok (I don't think I have had cheese curds anywhere yet that have impressed me) In general, we had a great experience and one would think that I would have given them a 5-star review. But there were a couple negatives that I just couldn't get over, to give them a top rating. The cost of each burger was around $20. That is a LOT for a 1/4lb burger. Also, and though I like dogs, there were two large breed dogs freely entering the establishment, and roaming around. This didn't really bother me at all, until one of them stood by my table, begging for expensive food.

Service is also terrific. Knowledgeable and friendly staff when asking about gluten free options. Restaurant seems clean and well-appointed. Takeout orders on time and accurate. Taking one star off though because the to-go orders come in styrofoam! Not only does styrofoam not biodegrade, it also leaches chemicals into the environment. And now, there are a lot of better options available that I would happily pay a little extra for.
