This was so good. Killer burgers made with real care, super friendly service and a great view of the lake. Totally worth a stop on the way to Grand Marais or if you're staying nearby. read more

Room is half full. And it's a 40 min. Wait for a table. Pizza - which I can cook and prep in under 20 min took close to an hour. Staff seemed completely okay with this - as if this is typically the way restaurants run. Absurd. Go elsewhere. read more

After a day of hiking to Goose Berry Falls and Cove Point, one can build up quite the appetite. We were deciding if we should go back to Duluth or keep going north. We found Cove Point, it looked quaint, so we thought, why not? Walking in, we were greeted by a gentleman who was not entirely personable, but oh well. We were seated promptly and had an opportunity to review the menu. The menu itself was limited to some degree, which was fine. There were several pizza options, salads, and sandwiches available. They have a full bar, local beers, and several non-alcoholic beverages. The one thing that really stood out to me was the prices. My wife had a salad wrap, and I had their standard burger. Both were $17.00?? This far up north?? The food was fine, certainly nothing to write home about, but I can't help but feel that both those entrees were a wee bit overpriced. read more

With not many options in the area, we stopped at Cove Point Crossing with pretty low expectations. However, I was pleasantly surprised but how much I liked this little bar and grill. It is small, not many tables but wasn't terribly busy on a Thursday at lunch. It has a north woods feel with a cute mural covering one wall. We started with totchos which were fine and a local tap beer. My husband got the wings, they were crispy and tasty, he was pleasantly surprised. There were only six wings in the order so the price at $16 was rather steep but expected being on the north shore. I ordered the turkey focaccia sandwich. It was so good! The bread was fresh and crispy and the turkey was thick cut turkey slabs with fresh sprouts and aioli. It was a big sandwich but I ate it all because it was wonderful. I upgraded to onion rings, they were average. read more

Pizza was good. Watch your bill though. Used cash and still got charged for a credit card fee.

It being the only restaurant around, we really didn't have much of a choice but to go there. Big mistake. We walked into the restaurant and immediately noticed the service was unfriendly. Our waitress, the older woman working there, had an attitude from the start and never made us feel welcome. We weren't even brought water to the table. We ordered appetizers and our meals, but the appetizers never even came out. We waited nearly an hour for our food, and when we asked how much longer it would be, no one could give us an answer. What made the experience even worse was that no staff member ever came over to apologize for the delay or check on us during the wait. After waiting close to an hour with no food, we finally decided to leave. Complete waste of time. I would not recommend this restaurant at all, and I definitely wish I had read the reviews beforehand. The whole experience honestly made us feel unwelcome, especially seeing other tables receive much better attention and service while we were completely ignored. Whether intentional or not, the treatment came across as discriminatory and left a really bad impression. At this point, I'm not sure if they forgot about our table or if "waiting endlessly" is just part of the dining experience here. read more

We split a focaccia turkey sandwich with truffle fries. Bottom bun was soggy/doughy with little flavor. The truffle fries were not great. Couldn't even tell they were "truffle fries". I ever asked our waiter if they were truffle fries and he said yes. Tasted like reg. fries to us and they up charge $3.00 for them. Willing to give a second chance but not a great 1st experience. read more

This was the perfect spot to finish out a day full of hiking! The staff were kind and attentive and the food was delicious! The wings were perfectly cooked and meaty. I highly recommend getting the sandwich, it was delicious. When we walked in there was a couple eating pizza that also made us wonder if we should just come here twice in a row - they said it was really good too! read more

Slow service and okay food. We were looking for a place open for dinner and decided to give this place a shot. Right off the bat, it took a good five minutes to be seated even though there was a couple of folks in the restaurant. Once we were seated we order drinks, and our server brought my husband his but forgot about my drink. It took her until we received our meal for my drink to arrive. My husband ordered the Classic Cheese Burger and I tried the Cobb Salad. My husband said the burger wasn't anything to write home about. I was impressed with the quantity and quality of my salad; however, a few bites in I found a long, grey hair in my salad. I sent it back but it took them longer to make me a new one than the original, so I had it to-go. We were far from impressed and left disappointed. read more

This is a family owned business and they have great food options for being a little place cafe in northern Minnesota. Plenty of natural light coming in and their food is so good. The customer service is good and I hope to continue to see this little business flourish. read more

Good pizza. Lots of toppings. Pretty expensive, but there are very few other options in the area. Good spot if your on the north shore

After a long morning of hiking around we swung in here for lunch. Immediate thoughts: Super cute inside! Love the murals and big chalkboard! Plus, they have a great big window that looks over the lake! Service was friendly but maybe a bit slow. Food was so good -- I got the Philly and it was really great, but maybe a bit over priced. Beer was ice cold and delicious! My only real issue is the bathroom(s). The one I used was not child friendly AT ALL. I ended up having to lay down paper towels because the floor was sticky and gross then laid down my son's changing mat to then had to squat and change him on the floor..it was not ideal. We would come back here though and maybe sit on their cute little patio. read more

Solid burger and pizza place on the North Shore. Hands down the best onion rings served in Northern Minnesota. If you think you can split a large pizza between two people here, think again. We had plenty for left overs. The burgers sizes are nothing to sneeze at either and come with a generous side of fries or onion rings or cheese curds. This ain't your run of the mill diner or fast food joint! Tldr: The folks here are friendly, the food is good, the portions are generous. Best onion rings. read more

Restaurant inside closed due to covid. Call or place food orders online. We stopped bc the view looked great and pizza/burgers sounded good. Our order took about 20 min for 7 people. I got the pizza. My review is based off that. Others in the group got burgers and really liked them. They were really big and juicy and come with lots of fries/tots. I got the 16 inch tree hugger pizza (similar to a margarita). The pizza was not that great in my opinion. It reminded me of a pizza delivery type pizza. The cheese was really thick and spongy. The crust was okay, it was medium thickness and soft with a slight crunch. The overall flavor was a bit bland. They have several picnic tables outside to enjoy view. We did enjoy eating outside with all the wild flowers and the lake views. If I ever came back I would try a burger and would not get the pizza again! read more

Stopped in for lunch while we were out for the day, no expectations. We ended up with a generous amount of buffalo wings, off menu quesadillas, and French fries that rivaled state fair French fries! Great service, decent prices, all around fantastic experience. Highly recommend. I would have taken a picture of the food but there's nothing left :) read more

After several years of staffing challenges due to Covid and just being in a small town with a limited workforce to draw from, they seem to have hit their stride again. The environment is fun and casual. There is a jukebox, crane games, and several TV's usually broadcasting some kind of sporting event. The current menu is good and the service is too. Always a decent offering of draft beer as well as bottles, cans, and most of the basic liquor offerings. They have recently redone their floors and brought in booths that really change the vibe for the better. I am happy to see this place getting its groove back, it really is a nice place to grab a bite or a drink. read more

Great service, beer selection and good pizza, not great, but good. Had an order of tacos which were pretty good, but expensive for the small portion. We own a cabin at Cove Point and will be back next month and give it another try. read more

Waited patiently to be greeted or get table service. Grabbed a menu, they only have pizza, no burgers. One table had craft beers, another a pizza. Left after 20 minutes to go elsewhere. read more

I'm not sure the burger fully makes up for the rest. As one of two restaurants open til 8pm in Beaver Bay, the ordering process needs some attention. Phone calls dont go through due to how busy they are. The website doesn't have alcohol listed to order, even to be consumed onsite. They dont want customers inside (understandably) so I'm not sure how I'm supposed to get in touch with someone inside. That said, the takeaway service (and alcohol purchased elsewhere) went smooth enough. We ordered some Poutine Burgers, fries, and tots. Omg so much food! Well worth the $11 and then some! The burger is phenomenal. Salty gravy, crunchy/chewy cheese curds and fries. I do think there could be more jalapeno in the cheese curds as the flavor didnt stand out in the mix. The fries looked delicious but didnt have the texture desired as they were a bit mushy. The tots were great, but I couldn't finish them as there was so much. I look forward to visiting again, but only if the ordering process is improved. read more

Stopped for a late lunch with our group of 8. Sat outside with our doggos in the scenic patio area. We tried two of the pizzas, chicken bacon wrap, turkey focaccia and the club sandwich. Everything was delicious. Our server Jamin was great!! Fantastic service. Highly recommend read more

3.5 stars probably, but being nice since they seem short staffed. Call or order online. Good luck with them answering, I bet I called 15 times(there's one person inside, maybe two). Order online if you want to eat! Easy ordering online, although only drink selections I saw were beer. We ordered 3 BLTs with tots to make it easy and a 10" sausage pizza. Order confirmed, 20mins. Got a call just before that and a guy brought the food out to us. We got all our food, tons of napkins, plates and forks. BLTs were tasty and so were the tots. Pizza was meh. No beer that we ordered. If your order is right, no big deal, but if you're missing something it's a pain because they don't answer the phone. There's a side window he finally came to and then brought me the beer. Also put some sodas on the window sill so apparently they sell other drinks, but they're not on their website. It was worth stopping because I was hangry and I was super pleased their time was correct for food being ready, but dang they need some help inside for calls, cleaning tables and bringing out food. I didn't see anything being cleaned outside on the handful of tables and the trash was overflowing and one gust took the lid off and garbage started flying. read more

Well, when expectations are already low they say you can't miss it. But here it goes, this places is at bottom of the sea quality. Tried their pizza and it was really bad. Soggy and bad execution. It should be a crime to make soggy pizza and this place needs to be on the top of the list if they decide to make it a law. Until then stay away. Your money is better off staying in your wallet. read more

Great spot for lunch after hiking one of the state parks. We Stopped by for a quick bite and a beer. The patio has a great view of the lake as well. Deff go with the tater tots as your side! The patio is dog friendly! read more

We had a couple pizzas and a couple Caesar salads. The salads were drenched in dressing, which was extremely salty and had a faint taste of bacon. The service was friendly but slow. We ended up walking up to the counter to check out after waiting for a while. The interior was nice, but fairly small. Maybe a total of 10 tables along with a bar. The menu given did not match their website, specifically no burgers offered. read more

Total lack of flavor to the food and service was mediocre, despite an ample staff. We tried to order burgers, but were told the flat grill was broken so they could only do plain cheeseburgers. (Not sure why a broken griddle meant no other toppings, but, okay.) The only other options were pizzas or apps, so we ordered totchos and boneless wings. The wait was long (30+ minutes) and there were several people standing behind the bar not doing anything. Still, drinks did not get refilled and silverware was not brought over until after the food was done. (One of the servers was frequently staring off into space...) Somehow the totchos had no flavor ... like not even that salty deep fried flavor that a microwaved bag of Walmart tots would have. The sour cream was watered down, as was the cheese sauce, so it also had very little flavor. Just some flavorless wetness on top of flavorless tots. The boneless wings were SO over cooked. Also no flavor. And no, we didn't both have covid because we tasted all our other food just fine throughout our trip! ;) read more

I was quite excited for my brothers and I to stop here while traveling up the north shore, but was sadly disappointed. We waited 35 minutes to receive our food after seating ourselves because no one seemed to notice we were waiting. Gave them the benefit of the doubt however because it was relatively busy for the short staff but one I got my BLT and tots I was pretty disgusted. So much grease to the point there was a pool of it on our table. On top of that a $13 burger with next to no flavor and a sandwich with a burnt to a crisp bottom bun. 10/10 would actively avoid. read more

Pizza and boneless wings were awesome. Great pizza crust. Had the Tree Hugger and it was delicious! We also did a build your own and it was just as tasty. The boneless chicken wings with BBQ sauce were excellent and I am definitely not a wing person. They were crispy, not soggy. Just the right amount of sauce. Staff was friendly and helpful. We will be back!!! read more

The fries and beers were good. I had a meat lovers pizza that was ok but not enough sauce, so the ratio was not right. My wife had the Philly. She likes her meat much more done than I and even she said it was dry. I'm sure I would have sent it back. The waitress did knock off 10% so she did what was right. We don't go here much because the food is inconsistent. Too bad with all the tourist traffic that comes through we have so few options, and no place locally I would call consistently good since Camp 61 closed. read more

We were happy to find a restaurant open past 8pm and really happy with our food and service. Being the only place open after 8 they got very busy and with one waitress we were a little worried but she was excellent. She never once made us feel rushed. She was pleasant and on top of things. Food wise we got the Totchos, Pountine Burger, The Yeti pizza and the kids both got kids corn dog meals. The kids portions were huge with 11 mini corn dogs a piece! The burger was amazing! So much flavor! Same goes for the pizza! Well worth the stop! read more

I don't know who gave this place the right to make food so good. My boyfriend and I split the avocado BLT and Philly cheesesteak, on special. I loved the avocado BLT but was absolutely floored by the Philly cheesesteak. My boyfriend carried me out because I saw the light of God. read more

First time to stop here. Stopped because of Yelp postings. Great spot. Really unique sandwiches & pizza options. Good service. Some unique beers on tap. Great views of Lake Superior.

Great pizza! We loved the "Yeti" and the crust was especially good. A little pricey, but not bad.

Very expensive for the food $17 for 8 undercooked bone in wings, & $9 for fries. Done really tend to the diners don't recommend!
