    I have no idea how this place doesn't have perfect reviews on Yelp, this place is amazing! I stopped by on a trip from Minneapolis to Duluth with some friends based on a recommendation and we were blown away. I decided to go with a pastrami reuben and fries. The pastrami was fantastic - super flavorful, tender, and delicious. The sandwich was amazing. The ambiance is your classic local bar/restaurant, but with food that's a million times better than average. The staff were super friendly, and Mama T herself even stopped by our table to check on us. I highly recommend making the visit here!

    Inside raspberry maple burger
    Maggie S.

    AMAZING LOCAL FOOD Me and my friends are on a trip up north and stopped here after being recommended and loved it!!! Such a tasty and locally sourced menu with rotating weekly menu that is stellar! I had this weeks specialty raspberry maple burger with fries and homemade ranch, seriously delicious with jammy caramelized onions, creamy spicy cream cheese and a sweet and spiced maple raspberry barbecue drizzled generously. I had a mango cart beer on tap as well (one of my favs) and it was a lovely pint! My friends had the chipotle raspberry chicken club and it was on a nice sweet potato bun, delicious! Another friend got the Luigi's chicken inferno which was juicy smokey chicken with tasty sautéed peppers and onions, honey pepper sauce and a homemade bun. Will be going again and am so happy to have discovered this gem on the way up north!! Staff was extremely welcoming and friendly!

    Peanuts Inferno

    This place is delicious!!! Wow! Service was exemplary (Bella, I think her name was). We had the nachos, wonton special, Peanut's Inferno and a burger that was similar to the Peanuts inferno. We couldn't eat it all, and I don't think I've ever had such good leftovers!

    Cajun butter smoked wings.
    Dan L.

    Fantastic smoked wings. French fries are some of the best ever. Homemade, double fried(?), awesome. They had some app special when we were there. Had some great wasabi seafood balls. Also had their brisket chili, which was delicious, and tried their cheesy grits. Loved'em.

    Gumbo with a side of cornbread
    T N.

    If you want something smoked or want some Louisiana flavors, try this place. Today we had shrimp Poboy and a bowl of Gumbo with a side of cornbread. The food was tasty. The grits are amazing. The waitress was outstanding. The chef was gracious and engaging. They could use more seating as this is a bar/restaurant and can be sort of crowded at times.

    Buffalo chicken salad is amazing. And the staff is top-notch.  I love coming here.

    Had a great time at Mama T's for the Super Bowl! They had great food and drinks in a really fun atmosphere, with raffles and specials all night long, including free shots for every touchdown! (Yikes high scoring game) Will def be back for more fun in the future, esp looking forward to St Patty's Day party! Well done gang, we'll be back!

    This is a must go to destination if you like Southern comfort/BBQ food. Absolutely the best Sammie's we've had in a long time! The Mac & cheese is incredibly rich and tasty! Great service and a great place to enjoy wonderful food!

    Best Philly you'll find with hopping on a plane! This food is banging and will have you coming back for more.   Great work Mamma T!

    One of my favorite bbq spots in Minnesota. Great service with friendly staff. The inside is busy…read morewith a great energetic vibe. You can call ahead to get your name in the line for seating to save your wait time. The complimentary chicharron bowl was a great way to start the meal. Use the bbq sauces as dip. Order: Half rack ribs. Not the best texture on this rack. Just a little too soft for me. Salt level was aggressive. I would not recommend the portion we were served today. I think they just had an off day. Brisket. Tender and juicy. Perfectly smoked. This was a delicious bite. Bbq style Cuban sandwich. This was a memorable bite of food. Great spin on a classic. Sides: Mac and cheese. Creamy, saucy and flavorful. Highly recommended. Fresh cut fries. Definitely worth the upgrade. The dill lemon aioli is highly recommended. Cheesy grits. Yummy. The star of the show was the thinly sliced pickled jalapeño on top. Added that sweet vinegar crunch. Poblano corn. Good flavor. Just ok. Baked beans. Good bite but nothing special or memorable. I would skip. Collar greens. Tender and flavorful. Highly recommended.

The food is generally really good and full of smoke. I love their fried ribs but I probably will ask for the sauce on the side next time. It can be overwhelmingly saucy. It's a very great atmosphere with a beautiful smell There is outdoor seating as well. I liked the vibes!

    I had the grandma burger off the senior menu, Just the right size for me. It was cooked perfectly…read moreand they have homemade fries. Service was great.

    Accidentally found this place on maps. Tip: always zoom in and out in an area when looking for food…read moreas the buttons seem to pop at different "elevations". SO glad I stopped. I had the special, a simple cheeseburger and fries. Simple it was not. This will now be my go-to place for a burger whenever I'm in town. The burger is never frozen, the fries are real and fresh cut (but they do it right and soak them in water). OMG, I was expecting a typical flat little burger and a half a dozen bites of fries...oh no, bring your appetite my friend! The burger was juicy and thick but also fully cooked. The fries were divine! They were golden brown with a perfect crisp, skin on for flavor, and not too skinny nor thick AND didn't leave me wanting more. I ALWAYS want more fries. I made the mistake of saying "no" to tomato and lettuce and onion. They are usually a little limp leaf of nearly white lettuce and a paper thin slice of lacy flavorless wet tomato. Nope, not here. I saw them preparing other baskets as I was sitting at the counter awaiting my order...the fixings were thick, bright, and crunchy! Don't skip it. I'm also super excited to try their other dinner selections like meatloaf with mashed potatoes and gravy. I have a hunch the potatoes won't be instant. I'm curious about breakfast too, although I'm never in town that early. They have a small selection of desserts as well. They also serve my favorite root beer, 1919, along with 1919 cream soda which I didn't even know they had! Just like the quality and quantity of food, the service is what I remember it used to be. I was greeted with a genuine warm and welcome smile. I wad given an appropriate amount of time to decide before being pestered multiple times. My questions were answered without a look of annoyance and I wasn't made to feel like a bother. The small talk was personable and appropriate. Service sets the tone and I felt comfortable and belonging. The ONLY reason I didn't give it 5 stars was it kinda yucked me out nobody wore gloves at any point. Grabbing fistful of potatoes out of a bucket of water would require a type of dishwashing glove, and I get that they are fried in hot oil so that didn't bother me as much. It was more the handling the raw fixings without gloves and noting that the lettuce (as beautiful as it was), and I'm assuming the other vegetables, we're not washed prior. I don't think many restaurants do for the reason of preparation speed and ingredient longevity. That part bothers me everywhere because all I can think of is pesticides and germs. I don't typically end on a less than positive note but, I knew this one was going to be lengthy and people's attention spans short. I lied, I will say this...I left very happy and satisfied and NOT smelling of grease! In summary, GO!

    My son and I were visiting Duluth this past weekend and had breakfast at Duluth Grill, Sunday,…read more5/31. We had checked reviews and saw there were some reviews indicating this restaurant was not as good as it used to be. We decided to see for ourselves as the menu, other positive reviews sounded like it was an incredibly good place to go. It is. It was. It was busy, being a Sunday morning especially, but the staff was handling it all well from our perspective . I used to manage restaurants a long time ago and was impressed with the flow. Our waitress, Natalie, was delightful, knew the menu well to describe and answer questions, and we were not wanting for anything. She checked on us, always grinning and managing the iace well. I had the banana bread pancakes. A perfect choice ! They came and looked like a picture stacked up and flowing down with Carmel, maple bourbon syrup, marzcapone cream and nuts. So delicious. I took half home and enjoyed the rest later. Heated up perfectly with a 20 second zap in micro. My son had the corn beef hash skillet and said his was just as good as mine. We both agreed that we had no idea why reviews were negative, especially going on a busy morning. We will be going back every time we visit. I recommend you do too.

    We love the Duluth Grill. I still miss the old, bigger menu…read more My husband always orders a more traditional breakfast and he really liked it. Today I went for the Blueberry Yum Yum which is a chicken sandwich with blueberry compote and jalapenos. They make their own compote and are almost out so hurry while you can to try this item. Very good and very messy but the combo worked surprisingly well. Don't miss the hashbrowns as they are truly excellent. And the Local tea is always a favorite with honey and lemon. Free parking. Cynthia S. did a great job serving us today.
