    Inside the restaurant host stand and takeout ordering station
    Alex I.

    We got takeout, but definitely a sit down kind of place. Staff was super nice and helpful and the order was ready really fast. I had the spicy dill fried chicken sandwich and adored it. Tough to eat in the car but worth it.

    Wonderful sandwich shop in Duluth! We were trying to get our usual northern waters smokehouse fix as we drove through but it was too busy. Tried this place out and was not disappointed! Prices are pretty comparable and the sandwiches are pretty on par if we're to compare the two. We ate outside and they have a nice patio section we could bring our pets to and enjoy our food. Would swing by again. If in the area and were in the same situation.

    Smash burger & fries.

    Waitress was joyful as well as helpful. It was our first time eating there and she helped me make a good choice "the meat your match" The restaurant it self has an old school feel but bright and chipper. Next time I'm in the area definitely hitting this up again!

    We haven't been to the new location since it moved, and we decided to check it out. So glad we did. We both went with variations of the Reuben; the regular and the angry Reuben. Both were spectacular! For side dishes, I went with the brussel sprouts, which were superb. Usually I really like the sprouts at Burger Paradox, but I actually enjoyed these more. The peppers on top offered a welcome little flair, as well as a nice little pop of heat. Less saucy/oily than the Korean sprouts served at the sister establishments, which I still love. Hubby got the cole slaw, and I sampled it and wow! I've gotta figure out that recipe! So delicious. Prices are like anywhere else in town. Service was great! Probably the best we've had in a long time. Thanks Stephanie & Corktown! We'll definitely be back.

    Smash burgers

    In Duluth for work, I came across this place on a Monday evening. The place was clean with cabin-like decor. The bartender suggested their special of two double smash burgers and two pints for $25. I've paid $25 for an old-fashioned in a fancy hotel bar, so I was amazed by the deal. They were excellent! So much so that I ordered the same burger on Tuesday to go without the deal. - I had a billing issue caused by Yelp! sending the order through twice, and the GM on site was very helpful in getting one of them voided and credited. - Great burgers, beer, and service is a win in my book, and that Monday deal cannot be beat!

    We were driving back to the cities from a long camping weekend at the north shore and wanted a nice lunch that we didn't have to make ourselves. Cork deli was recommended by a friend, so we stopped here on a Sunday at eleven when they opened. From the name 'deli' and the menu items I sorta expected it to be a quick in-and-out place, but to my surprise, it was a sit-down restaurant with a full bar. The menu was a little odd and I felt like they were trying too hard on some of the items. It's a sandwich shop but also has some "hip" starters like a hummus plate and Thai tofu strips and rice bowls. I was ready for a Bloody Mary but was quite disappointed to find out the Bloody Mary mix is Zing-Zang. I would expect this place that prizes in locally sourced foods and smoked meats that they would have their own mix or something local. The one thing that made it special was the delicious pastrami topper. That still doesn't make the whole Bloody Mary drink any better. Also, had to get a beer back separately. For sandwiches we tried the Cozy pig and the Philadelphia phenomenon. I really enjoyed the cozy pig sandwich! Wonderful flavors with the apple chutney and garlic aioli. Maybe a little too much of the sauce though as it overpowered any taste of the meats. I just wanted a little bit more of the ham/Porchetta flavors but i would get it again! The Philadelphia phenomenon was anticlimactic. I expected much more flavor, especially with the au jus. And again, the horseradish aioli overpowered anything else in the sandwich. I wanna taste the prized delicious meats that they are known for! I thought prices were fair and service was just fine. Overall, I'm still up in the air about it. Odd vibes and I think there's some room for improvement.

    This restaurant is absolutely incredible. The service was great. The food was so good, that we went back a second time on the same day! The deli tots were delicious. They are made up of tator tots, house cheese sauce, pickeld jalapeños, brined onions, scallions, Duluth Grill sauerkraut, house pastrami, Russian dressing. The tots were perfectly crisp! The Bloody Mary was piled high with extra munchies stacked in it.

    French fries are delicious. We also got the hummus platter - assuming fresh veggies. But our veggies were cooked - not as good.

Moreover, I hope the denizens of the Duluth area support this establishment because, as much as I enjoy OMC, Grandma's Canal Park Brewing, this kind of restaurant is needed here. The impetus for the above statement revolves around the absence of chef-driven and curated menus that capitalize on locality, creativity, and seasonality. This restaurant is located just on the other side of I-35. Smack-dab on Superior Street, next to North Shore Tattoo. Entering the establishment, you will see a simple and modestly adorned restaurant that is warm, inviting, and adequately lit. The menu is seasonal and robust with wonderful creations. Think of this as a Mediterranean tapas restaurant with a couple of larger entree-sized sharables. Everything we had was an incredible experience of contrasting flavours and textures. Here is what we had 1. Trio of Dips: You should get this so you don't miss out on the experience of each of these. It is hard to pick a favorite, but the Red Pepper Walnut was incredible. The citrus compote livened up this. The Labneh was quite lovely. More moisture should have been removed, but the selection of herbs atop of the labneh made this pop. The hummus was enjoyable, and had a thicker consistency than I usually have, but it was pretty good. 2. Seared Halloumi - Who doesn't like fried cheese?? The ouzo onions were a terrific addition. Get this one for sure. The hummus was enjoyable, and had a thicker consistency than I usually have, but it was pretty good. 3. Pickled and Stuffed Chard - This was a fun twist on dolmades, and I enjoyed this one. I considered this my salad/vegetable intake for the day :) 4. Braised Rabbit - This was the only disappointment of the whole evening. The leg was flavorful, but it was sooo dry, and I regret not getting the pork. The table next to us got the port, and I was jealous. 5. (Desert )Olive Oil Cake - I was full at this point, but ordered it anyway. It was awesome. You've come this far, order it and thank me later. I really hope the folks of Duluth appreciate this gem in your city, and please support this restaurant.

I'm not usually into autumn spice flavors, but the crabapple sauce was subtle, slightly smoky, and paired beautifully with the crispy cauliflower. For my entrée, I had the Coconut Curry Bowl. It was flavorful and hearty, though a bit strong and salty for my personal taste. They also offer a kids' menu with generous portions (I've included a photo for reference -- grilled chicken, fries, and veggies). Overall, great vibes, friendly service, and a wonderful cause. We loved supporting a non-profit restaurant dedicated to the arts and community development!

Honestly, they've been there so much for me in the past (when no one else was there, they were) that any one of them could ask me to help them move a heavy ass hot tub, and I would in a heartbeat. The owner, Cade, is THE shit. Just look for the tall guy with the sweet hair and badass button up shirt and you'll know him when you see him. Best part is because he's so cool, all the people he hires to work for him are cool, thus the people that frequent there are cool, so by going there YOU are COOL by association. It's like one big cool club and everyone's invited. The amount of romances and babies that have resulted from ACES ON FIRST is probably what keeps the population of Duluth above the 2.1 children-per-woman needed to prevent a society's extinction.
