    A bowl and a side of Creamy Chicken & Wild Rice Soup
    James R.

    We tried the Creamy Chicken & Wild Rice Soup and the Rueben. The both tasted great, but the soup was not hot enough. Our waitress was very busy, but the other waitresses seemed available to assist. Not sure if there was a territorial battle for tips, but... The Rueben tasted great (as advertised), but it took quite a while to come out. I would imagine that the kitchen may have a problem keeping up on a busy night.

    French dip.

    Black Woods was a decent place. Someone got the Reuben. It looked tasty and she said it was. My friend got spicy burger. The patty was thick with quality meat. My friend always gets this here. This time she said her bottom bun was soggy. A hot freshly made burger should not have enough time to get soggy on the bottom unless it was sitting while other meals were being prepared. I had the French dip. The roll was fresh, soft, and easy to dip and eat. It was good but I felt it needed a little salt. The au jus didn't have much flavor. It should be rich in flavor to bring this dish all together and they just missed the mark. We also had cheese curds. Doesn't sound good to me but they sure tasted great. I had never had them. I can't believe I have been missing out on this. They were the highlight of the menu. They were super crispy with gooey cheese inside. The curds had fantastic seasoning with a great crunch on the outside. One of my friends eats here all the time and it's her favorite restaurant. Maybe I was just there on an off day.. I would definitely give them another try though

    Wild Rice Melt Side of Sweet Potato Fries

    The food here is incredible and beyond delicious!! They did not skimp on the serving size. And I'll have to take the other half home. If I can stop munching on the sweet potato fries!! The waitress,Carrie was super cheery and helpful. Next time I swing by this town. I'm absolutely coming back.

    On my birthday my waitress made my day . I was all alone and she made me a birthday treat . Her name is Dee and she is amazing

    Patty Melt and Stuffed Tots
    Tricia K.

    Stopped here on the way home from Grand Marais for lunch. We sat on the patio to enjoy the amazing weather. I ordered the patty melt with loaded stuff tots. Both were excellent! The patty melt had a nice thick burger with a good amount of grilled onions. The bread was slightly toasted and so good. The tots were SO good. They are really big and stuffed with all the goodness served with a side of season sour cream. The patio was nice but the fly situation was not. Our server was attentive and kind. Would definitely stop here again.

    We popped in for a late dinner. Service was amazing. Castle Danger (local, 5 blocks away) cream ale is my new favorite beer, and I live in Hendersonville NC with like 50 local breweries in my town and Asheville. The fish was wonderful. The cabbage salad was barely dressed, which was refreshing. The garlic butter was really good as was the cornbread. The roll was food service grade. The meatloaf was delicious and plenty. Will probably eat there again this week.

    Here's my shortest review so far. I found Blackwoods to be overrated, expensive and disappointing. The wait while tables were available and the view of cars on 61 just 20 feet from your window... also not impressive. The lobster mac and cheese, just skip that expensive blah. The fish fry that caught my attention on the menu, it's seasonal and not available by October so I tried the Reuben and have to say that was the only bright spot for our table. It was good and without it I would have given only 1 star. The patio looks nice if its warm out and its open and you don't mind the sound of traffic. Maybe just calk in and order the Reuben to go and enjoy a stop somewhere along the North Shore.

    Castle Danger Cream Ale
    Jim B.

    I wanted to like this place more. First time here. We put our name on the outdoor seating list, then sat at the bar to have a beer. The Castle Danger Cream Ale was old and really cold. The bar tender was pretty busy. We waited about 5 minutes before we were addressed. No problem. We waited maybe 15 minutes for an outdoor table. Quite acceptable. Autem was our server. She was very nice. Food came in a reasonable amount of time and food terms were spot on. My cons: - 2 of us asked for water when the food came out. I was done with my sandwich when the water came out. Not a huge deal but slower than it should have been - Wild Rice Chicken Soup was awful. No taste and the worst Wild Rice soup I've ever had. Skip this. Autem kindly removed the soup from the check. I'd come back but I might read more reviews before hand.

    Fish fry basket

    We stopped by here for lunch on our way to our weekend cabin -- at first glance they seemed busy as there was a 15-20 minute wait. We eventually were seated inside and I noticed only two-three tables were being used so I definitely think they were short staffed. Our server, Dee was probably our favorite part of this whole experience -- she was really friendly. Our food came quickly, but I was super underwhelmed. I wasn't expecting one big piece of fish for a fish fry basket, but no biggie. My issue was the fish was greasy and extremely bland. The fries were good so I mostly ate those. All-in-all for the prices, I definitely expected more.

We played it "safe" and ordered the nachos--and I say this without exaggeration: they were the best nacho platter I've ever had. Not just great tasting, but genuinely beautiful to look at. This wasn't a pile-of-chips-with-stuff-dumped-on-top situation. This was thoughtfully made, layered, and clearly crafted from real ingredients. Nothing felt canned or boxed. Fresh toppings, balanced flavors, and even details like using spinach instead of iceberg lettuce showed real care and intention. You could tell someone in that kitchen actually cares about what goes out on the plate. If you're anywhere near the area and even thinking about stopping in--do it. Great food, great vibe, and one of those meals that surprises you in the best possible way. We'll absolutely be back.

I had a turkey sandwich and a cup of chili that were delicious. The soups are made from scratch and the portions are perfect for a lunch stop. They also have a little shop area where they sell souvenirs, clothes, and decor. We fed our family of 4 for under $65, which is pretty hard to do these days, especially in the Duluth area.
