Wow! Good find. The service and food was really good. A family owned business. Worth the stop to fill the belly and please the pallet. Sorry, didn't think of taking a pic of my meal before posting. I had the special tonight which was the white fish fry and fries. Yum! When I'm in this area, will definitely stop and say hi and get a good meal. read more

The restaurant menu was exactly what you would expect. The offerings were fine, but the food was pretty mediocre. My wings were very plain and needed more seasoning. The onion rings were pretty good, but I've definitely had better. The service was good and ambience was fine. Next time I'm in Two Harbors, I'll go to another place. read more

Second best poutine I have ever had in my life. First best being some place in Montreal. But the poutine here was dynamite! And very reasonably priced too. And very nice, friendly service! read more

Nice and quick service. Basic food and drink. Friendly staff. Clean and comfortable setting.

Right off the road in two harbors this pub has a restaurant area and a lounge area. Server was nice, restaurant was clean. We opted to sit in the lounge area since it was less busy. Ordered a strawberry bourbon smash and the drink was pretty tasty, I would next time opt for a higher quality bourbon but still delicious. I had read about the smash burgers here and I opted for the pimento cheese burger while the burger itself was delicious I could not taste the pimento cheese but next time I would order more. The fries were crispy and delicious. Overall a great spot to stop for a drink and burger on your way up or down the shore. read more

Stopped here for dinner on our way up to the North Shore and let me just say, it exceeded my expectations all around. As a vegetarian, it can be hard finding good options on the road but wow....the wild rice smash burger here was among one of the best "burgers" I've had in my life. From the flavors, to the way the patty was cooked, to the perfect bun, it was a 10/10 burger. The staff was incredibly friendly as well and very attentive. If you're looking for a place to stop and grab a bite to eat, don't even question stopping here. You won't be disappointed!! read more

Food, varied. Service, you couldn't ask for more. (Ambiance was not existent ... a new building in a gas station parking lot with little art work on the walls. How can such a new building have such dirty toilets?) Pictured is chicken wings, pineapple slaw upgrade.. this was the deal breaker. Slaw tasted like day old slaw with zero pineapple, heavy vinegar zest.. very unimaginative Chardonnay was lovely Fish special with fries (why are fries breaded???) read more

Stayed in two harbors for an evening. Ordered a cheeseburger and it was fantastic. Staff was very kind and food was cooked very quickly. I would say the burger tasted like a Culver's burger to me (very good thing) except mcquades has superior toppings. Was only inside to pick up food but very clean and well put together interior for restaurant seating and bar seating as well! read more

Wonderful burgers and fries! Best burger I've had in a long time. Good service, nice ambiance. Will definitely stop here again!

Stopped in on our way "up north." Nice location, right off the Main Street going to see the sights. Friendly service. Got their McQuade Burger and it was an elevated Big Mac. Fries were really good. read more

Seriously some of the best smash burgers we've had in MN. A very unassuming restaurant. Fried pickles were too thin and salty, but everything else was fabulous. Good service. read more

Wild rice burger - So good!! Glad we happened upon this place. Friendly staff and quick service.

3.5 stars would have been my rating. The fusion dishes were surprisingly good but the basics fell flat. Cheeseburger was large, but flavorless. read more

This was an amazing find--on a whim we tried it out and had the best burger of our North shore stay! read more

McQuade's Pub and Grill - Smash burger on a salad--absolutely delicious! - Pubs Near Me - Two Harbors, Minnesota

Looking for a quick lunch on our trip to the north shore and decided to stop here. Food was pretty good and service was quick! Our server was not super friendly, but other than that I would definitely recommend trying this place out if Betty's and Rustic Inn have too long wait times. We got a burger, their hot honey chicken sandwich, and their cheese curd appetizer. The cheese curds were surprisingly delicious, honestly some of the best I have had! There is plenty of seating, though the decor could use some updating and the space seems kind of thrown together. We were sat right away and our drinks were refilled quickly. Not much more to say, but it was a nice quick stop for lunch! read more

I finally satisfied my curiosity on my way to the North Shore. I got the Lift Bridge rootbeer from Stillwater. Delicious. Loved the old fashioned smashburger with loads of thin pickles layered on the bottom of the bun, topped with mayo, mustard and American Cheese. You get one side and I got a salad with blue cheese. So fresh I was getting full on half of it. Basil loved the steakhouse swiss and mushroom burger. Also the castle danger cream ale. Bella was a very attentive server, always checking on us. Love the cabin decor. read more

Had a pimento smash burger. Not a lot of flavor. Less than average taste. Came out fast which is good but it's a very thin smash burger so if you're hungry, I suggest adding an extra patty. My BF had the chicken wings. He enjoyed them. He had them plain. Non-alcoholic drinks are super limited so we just went with water. Service seemed like everyone was busy but was a little slow. Ambiance was not our cup of tea. Lot of little kids. I would not come back necessarily because this area has a lot of amazing places to eat but I'm also not thoroughly disappointed either. read more

Stopped for a quick bite on our way up north. Wasn't expecting much but hoped the food was decent; best reviews in Two Harbors. I was impressed! Tried the hot honey chicken sandwich. Hot honey surprisingly had a nice kick, chicken was hot and nicely battered! Fries were meh, but at least they were hot and crispy. He had the mushroom and Swiss burger that was nicely prepared and tasted great. Side salad was a nice mix of fresh spring greens with fresh chopped veggies. Also, when ordering a coffee they had French press, my favorite! I think there was one server for the entire dining room and bar plus being the bar tender...but man was she fast, friendly and effective! Definitely will be stopping again when we pass through Two Harbors. read more

Hey! Update your info. I'm here at about noon on a Friday and they're NOT open. Google Maps thinks they open at 3pm. Sign on door says they open at 3pm. Majority opinion rules?? Anyway, they ain't open right now (noon). read more

Best burger I've had in a while, ate at the bar, quick service, hot food, and reasonable prices. Would definitely go back.

Decided to stop here on the way up the shore. Big mistake. Fried pickles looked and tasted like they threw some sliced vlasics into the fryer, then sprinkled bread crumbs on top. Beer was flat. After leaving we joked that the burgers had been bought from McDonald's then refried with toppings added. How we felt after eating there more or less confirmed this idea. All in all, we don't tend to be picky when it comes to fried food and burgers, but we're not impressed. To be fair, service was good and quick, and ambience was nice. read more

Took a little trip to two harbors. Love it up here, being from southern MN, I enjoy going north. Stopped at this hidden gem and I gotta say it did not disappoint!! Very clean, food was delicious and service was quick. Staff were kind and overall just good service. I am glad to have stopped here, and they also were playing some banger music. Gotta love the hidden gems! read more

Great food great service great music. Smash burgers were amazing crispy, and very flavorful.

We've been here a few times and I can honestly say we've never been disappointed! Food is ALWAYS on point. Service is fast and friendly. Prices are great and a good value. Highly recommend this place. read more

The food is really good and the service is very good and nice to their customer!! The drinks are really good

Ate there once. Food was kind of spendy for my taste. And I wasn't impressed with my burger. I asked for well done but got a burger that was basically not cooked at all in the center. I couldn't eat more then a few bites, felt like I was gonna end up sick. read more

The service was super super slow, the food is below sub-par, and it is WAY over priced for what you get....it is a tourist trap and not worth stopping in. The only reason for the 2 stars was a semi-decent fried cheese curd and decent beer. read more

Delicious! My husband and I both had burgers and they were excellent. Wonderful service and a great wine list!!! This is the spot in town. Added bonus outdoor seating that is dog friendly. read more

We dined outdoors, there were two tables to choose from outside, which was nice because this year we didn't do any indoor dining. The waitress was very friendly and attentive. This little 'hidden' gem was delicious, hats off to the chef, seriously we didn't want each bite to end it was so good. Everything was cooked perfectly. It felt nice to dine out again and have a good experience. read more

Love this place. We specifically go here every time we travel up north for hiking. Marie, our server, was super nice and attentive. Amazing food and a great local business. Very classic American vibe. read more

Put your phone down and go to McQuade's! Fantastic! The logo is a bit fancy but otherwise you'd think it's just bar food. It's so much more. My friend is still raving about the vegetable curry and fried garbanzo bean appetizer. He's not a vegetarian but these menu items piqued his interest and didn't disappoint. My bulgogi tacos were wonderful - that rare treat where every bite makes you say "wow." Our server was delightful. Mary, was it? McQuade's will be our first stop next time we're in Two Harbors. Maybe our 2nd and 3rd too - I want to try everything. read more

Went for lunch (2 in party) and the service was very quick and the food was excellent! Best cheese curds I've had in a long time! Music was perfect volume to be able to talk to the people at your table or booth. Food came out very fast! read more

That was great. We had a trout sandwich and blue and black burger. Both were outstanding! Topped it off with a north shore ice tea; pack a more of punch than expected but we're happy! Mary was so awesome and steered us in our choices. She was a great host; thank you Mary. read more

On our way to our campground and stopped here to get a bite to eat. So glad we did! It's was delicious! The wild rice patty is ridiculously yummy and the Mac fries, is something people should not miss! Mary our waitress was amazing and sweet. She even brought our dogs some fresh water. Thanks for great service and food! read more

Delicious food, fast & friendly service are all characteristics you will find ring true of this pub. I ordered the Old Fashion burger - absolutely delicious. The cheese curds were ok; not at the level of the Minnesota State Fair. They did the job none the less. My hubby ordered the Philly cheese steak. OMG, was that a satisfying dish. read more

Very nice menu in a good location. Heading up the north shore we needed a quick lunch. Of course we ordered the batter fried cheese curds which were enough to feed 4 people. (There was two of us -and yes, we ate all of them...). Our fried chickpea salad with smoked yogurt did not disappoint.... Unique and tasty. read more
