First time customer. Torn between trying Texas Pit Beef sandwich and the Cuban sandwich. Was…read moreeducated by staff that the Pit Beef sandwich was recently added to menu last month. According to waitstaff, customer response has been positive. Ordered the Texas Pit Beef Sandwich, upgrading to onion rings instead of French fries. Did not detect any bbq "pit" flavor (smoky) in the shaved beef on sandwich. It becomes bbq apparently due to bbq sauce mixed with chopped cabbage, they're calling "coleslaw." Supposed to be onion tangles on it. They were non-existent. There was, however a large piece of thick cut crispy bacon on the sandwich which didn't taste bad, however, it wasn't listed on the menu... so perhaps they provided my sandwich with bacon for lack of onion tangles. Upon making a trip to restroom in restaurant, walked by a station that had same large bacon pieces in a prep station open to air. There were many other items in this area, including beef sticks, assumably meant to be station to assemble drinks such as bloody Mary's. The unfortunate thing was... flies were landing freely on all open food items in this open area. Gross. Thought about that while eating the bacon on my sandwich. Apart from light bbq flavoring in coleslaw, the shaved beef had very little flavor apart from slightly detecting salt. Didn't really notice the cheddar cheese either in flavor profile when taking bites. All that said... this beef seemed to be the exact stuff other restaurants use for French Dip Sandwich. Although meal didn't taste bad, it was lacking flavor that would have been put to much better use with the beef used in a French Dip with the right sort of soft bread and some tasty au jus. Sandwich would have been worlds better in this writer's opinion. Onion rings were excellent. Glad to have upgraded to them as the French fries included with wife's meal were not the crispy kind. They looked like standard French fries, but were soft in the middle like steak fries. To those who like non-crispy soft French fries... you'll likely love them. I do not know of anyone who prefers mushy fries to crisp ones. Will likely try this place again one day. Really hope they take measures to keep insects from landing on the beef sticks, bacon, and other items in that area.

The…read morelunch counter, with its fixed, chrome-trimmed stools the tin ceiling, and the cook preparing your meal in front of you are a trip in time back to the happy days of my youth. But it is not all about ambience. The food is good too. I am a local and meet here every Saturday morning with my cronies. Lately I have been on a low-carb diet and have ordered and omelette for breakfast. They are as good as you can get anywhere. And they allow me to substitute fresh fruit for the hashbrowns. I have had some nice, large salads for lunch as well. If you are passing through Cloquet on highway 33, head east on Cloquet Avenue to 13th St. I think you will find the detour in space and time worth your while.

I came for the Reuben and the delights of smoked pastrami, of which life offers far too few. Yummy. It is the yardstick against which all other Reubens should be measured. PRO TIP #1: Here is a secret only a full-time drinker would notice: Drinks are two-for-one if you sit at the bar--all day, every day. Those must be some seriously forlorn bartenders. PRO TIP #2: Park in the Duluth Grill lot or behind the restaurants. It is a bit confusing the first time through, presumably to discourage the unhip. Finally, the restrooms are top shelf, which is the first--and last--thing old-timers like me notice.

Pros: - Nice spot that offers quality dishes. - Smoked meats are good Cons: - I would rank other Duluth restaurants over this place, but Corktown is still a solid choice.

Whomever the fry cook is there, they need a raise and to be acknowledged.

My friend described the coziness of it as "your grandma's house". We got in line right in time because it filled up right after we ordered. They have tons of coffee and tea options as well as baked goods and hot food of the day items (quiche, frittata, etc). They also do beer and wine and had a solid tap selection. I had the dovetail latte and my friend had an iced vanilla latte and we both loved our coffees. They also have a small craft and trinket section from local sellers which was so cool and made the space feel so homey. It was so good we ended up doing back later that weekend as well. Recommend if you're in the area!

Google found The Brickyard, and am I ever glad - it was a home run, just 10 minutes off 35W on the way to Duluth, or Hwy 23 for those of you who are out taking a hike at Banning State Park and work up an appetite! The owner is also the chef, everything is home made, with classic home cooking family recipes gathered over the generations. The menu is simple, the food phenomenal. I had the walleye dinner which was fresh, with mashed potatoes made from scratch and slow cooked poultry gravy, and fresh green beans and a homemade dinner roll. To top it all off, I had multiple choices of homemade pies, with crusts grandma would have cheated to call her own - the coconut pie was to die for. The owner bought the place when he was only 25 yr old, his wife 8 months pregnant, and took a loan out for all he had, and turned it into a key cornerstone for the community. Everyone was kind, friendly, and service was great. I felt I just visited friends in the country and ate at their house. For all of us road warriors, it was s really a nice customer experience! And the food was just like mom's...actually, better, as she was a city girl! Be sure to ask him about his children and grandchildren, and their dairy farm! Thank you!
