CRISPY BRUSSEL SPROUTS Sweet and spicy soy glaze with sautéed red peppers and scallions. These were a little too heavy on the sauce for my liking, but otherwise very good. If you're not a fan of sweeter flavors, this one may not be for you. BUFFALO MAC & CHEESE Cavatappi pasta tossed in a creamy mac sauce, topped with crispy buffalo chicken, blue cheese crumbles, and onion straws. We added bacon and chicken, and this was a top pick for us! The buffalo sauce had the perfect balance--not overly spicy, but enough flavor to complement the creamy mac and cheese. CPB CO. FISH AND CHIPS Craft beer-battered haddock served with Northcoaster fries and house-made tartar sauce. Another top pick for us! The fish was crispy, flavorful, and perfectly fried. Honestly, one of the best fried fish dishes I've had in Minnesota. Unfortunately, I can't report on the beer as I'm not a big drinker...Sorry! Overall, a fantastic experience with great food, welcoming service, and plenty of variety. Definitely one of my favorite spots in Duluth!

We had a great experience at Canal Park Brewing Company! Our server was friendly and attentive, and…read morethe food was delicious. The beer selection was a little smaller than we expected, but there was still a nice variety of styles, so everyone in our group found something they enjoyed. They also have a full bar with specialty cocktails. The food menu was surprisingly large with lots of unique and fun options to try. The only small downside was that the Brussels sprouts were still a little undercooked for our taste, but everything else was excellent and more than made up for it. Excellent brisket, fish n chips, and build your own burger! The garlic aioli and IPA mustard sauces were definitely memorable. Overall, it's a great spot for good food, craft beer, and a fun atmosphere located right on the pier. We'd definitely come back!

We went here for the first time and definitely will return again…read more Good food. I had the typical Friday fish fry, which included a baked potato. I get tired of French fries and the baked potato was an excellent change up. The tasty white fish was a good size filet. The coleslaw was a light vinegar style. Even the roll was good. My wife had the lamb stew and that was fabulous. I was able to snatch a couple bites, but she loved it and finished this hearty dish. Good old fashions. We split a pumpkin cake. Sarah was our server and did a fantastic job. Very delightful. You can tell she likes working there which is always a bonus for the atmosphere if the staff enjoys it. We ate at a table in the bar. Very upnorth Wisconsin vibe. The Herbster beach is just down the street. Great apres-dinner walk. A gem of a restaurant. Worth the 35 minute drive. Save me a table.

Community favorite restaurant and meeting place, easy to find right on the corner of the main drag…read more Inside there are several eating areas plus deck seating however we're always here during cooler weather so we don't sit outside. Small town bar interior, limited menu in comparison to competition down the road but they had a poster on the door advertising a street dance and Oktoberfest event that they were hosting on the corner the weekend of the 10th. Service was excellent, I suspect we were being waited on by the owner. We had the daily specials. Husband had the chicken pot pie, which he said was like thick chicken soup with a puff pastry on top, I had the breaded pork tenderloin cutlet sandwich, which was not good. People at the table next to us were complaining about their hamburgers. So choose carefully. And ask questions but definitely give them a try. Locals are very loyal. They are only open Thursday through Sunday, we are usually gone by Thursday so last year we could not eat here as they were closed.

Duluth Coffee Company was a great call for brunch today. Our server was Brandon, who also manages…read morethe place. He stopped by our table, apologized for the wait, and sat down and explained the concept behind the restaurant. It was really cool that he took that time to let us know about the locally sourced ingredients! The ambiance is casual but elegant. Like the details of the decor are absolutely stunning. Now let's talk about the food: the menu has some really creative options even for vegetarians, which I feel I've been hard-pressed to find in Duluth. I had their cashew queso bowl, which includes seasoned black beans, potato, onion, green pepper, roasted garlic salsa, pickled onion and microgreens all on top of the cashew queso. My husband had the breakfast burrito which is a flour tortilla filled with sausage, egg, seasoned potatoes, mild cheddar cheese and roasted garlic salsa. The food is so delicious and the portions are generous. Oh, I also had their chocolate pistachio latte, and my husband had the drip coffee. They have VERY good coffee here. If there are any places you just can't miss when visiting Duluth, I'd put Duluth Coffee Company at the top of the list.

Best breakfast ever!…read more The food was all spectacular. We had the hungry man, biscuits and gravy and pancakes. My husband had the hungry man and was satisfied with both the quantity and quality of food. The pancakes were fluffy, a touch of sweet and overall amazing. The biscuits and gravy was also good, the gravy had plenty of sausage and was unique and tasty. Last, but not least - the eggs that came with each order were about the best I've ever had. Most restaurants it seems the eggs are an after-thought, these eggs would be a satisfying meal in itself. Very impressed and happy with the experience!

Went to visit Duluth and the famous aerial lift bridge and was looking for a place for brunch…read more Found a couple of spots on Google but then found a comment simply saying "do not overlook this place" and decided to give it a try. The place looks good and was crowded when we arrived but not the noisy or annoying kind crowd. Families, elders and youngies, a good happy mix. Taking out our phones to snap pictures would have felt like a violation of privacy or something, so we did not. The menu offers a lot of choices that all sounded delicious but we decided to be conservative, one house speciality and one generic . I went for the "OP Omelet" and my lady for "The rice lake". Absolutely fabulous. The omelette was well done and the stuffings were cooked to the point. Never had such big pancakes and the homemade syrup was delicious. My lady's choice was good too, the sausages were done to the point and greasy just like she wanted. We ended sharing everything and decided that this would be the spot for our future brunches in Duluth.

This is our must visit list number one on our annual fall trip to the South Shore of Lake Superior…read more Each year we find that the menu has been refined and improved upon. This year we had the cheese curds and Poncho's Bourbon Bacon Burger; a smash burger with two huge pieces of properly fried bacon, maple bacon jam on a ciabatta bun. Husband had the fried onion strings, and I had the french fries, which were new. They were long thin slices of potatoes, not quite a potato chip not quite a french fry. Absolutely delicious the middle part of it was more like a french fry, and the edges like a potato chip hard to describe, absolutely try them. The fried onion strings are fantastic as well. Delicious delicious delicious. We ate everything. But let's talk about the cheese curds. Generally not a fan, but I'm in Wisconsin, heck I may as well try it. They were cubes of Wisconsin white cheddar coated in some kind of batter and deep fried. They came with a ranch dip. We devoured them all immediately. Absolutely delicious go there for the cheese curds if nothing else. I think this is the best place in town between Herbster and Cornucopia places to eat. I quizzed the staff about the owners and it is a family. I asked about how they decide the menu items and he said that they get together as a group and try new things. It's clearly working. Don't miss this place. PS it's nice, rustic and comfortable but clean.

Great fish tacos and sandwiches!…read more And the fish is fresh - we regularly see staff members walking across the boardwalk to Halverson's to pick up the fish fillets and smoked whitefish. Interesting brews and ciders on tap. Great place to hang on Sunday afternoons to listen to tunes. It is everything you need for a great Lake Superior summer experience.

While exploring the Apostle Islands, we went with The Fish Shed, one of the small shops in the…read moreretail area around Cornucopia beach, for lunch. They are right down the parking lot from the famous Cornucopia Artesian Well. They even serve coolers full of the water in the restaurant! I don't believe they have air conditioning or anything and it was pretty much sweltering inside from the summer heat. Whitefish Sandwich ($16) - This is a baked whitefish sandwich with the main filet having a spicy Cajun-like seasoning on top. It's strong enough that no flavor from the whitefish is apparent. The fish is tender and flaky, has cheese melted on top, but baking the fish means the center has that kind of dried out feeling. They add a house slaw on top, which is an interesting mix of red and orange pepper, red and green cabbage, and apple. The bun is then slathered with a house sauce, which seems like some sort of tangy mustard based dressing. (4/5) Fish Chowder ($12.50) - This chowder is really thick from the massive amount of incorporated roux. It's thick enough that a spoon stands up vertically without even a hint of instability. The soup doesn't seem to have much cream or milk added given darker shade of grey that hues the liquid. It's very nicely spiced and clearly has quite a bit of fish broth incorporated. They include tons of chunky bits throughout. There are tender onions cooked down, snappy corn, firm but cooked potato, and peppers, not to mention a good amount of fish. Every ingredient retains their individual characters, which is nice. The main reason I didn't enjoy the soup was due to how fishy the broth was - far fishier than other fish chowders I've eaten. (3/5) Overall I found this to be a nice little stop for a quick lunch. I certainly didn't expect to find good homemade food in such a small town!
