I truly don't think I've ever had a better Oreo malt in my life. We all ordered the portabella mushroom sandwich based on a recommendation from a friend and it didn't disappoint.

The interior is relaxed and cozy and perfectly embodies the up north, making it the perfect atmosphere for a laid back meal over some amazing food. I cannot wait to be back next time I'm up this far north!

The trailblazer beer is my husband's favorite and he raves it's the best beer he's ever had. I'm not a beer drinker but when we go there, I do enjoy their strawberry seltzer or a ridiculously delicious rootbeer float. I'm always drawn to Reuben rolls, those do not disappoint. The parmesan fries with aoli is soooo good. Cheese curds and pretzel are delish! It's really hard to decide what to get when here! Service is always great as well. Very Minnesota Nice!

It was great then, and as we have visited every 1-2 years since then, it's still great! We love the food variety, the presentation, the creativity. We've always had great service, whether we come alone or with the kids we've had since 2015. Highly recommend dinner here! It gets busy in the summer, regardless of the day, so just a heads up to be prepared/flexible.

They also have fresh smoked fish! YUM! The best one is the white fish as far as I am concerned, but my friend likes the salmon... But which ever one you choose of all their choices, its probably good! the clam chowder is great too! If there is an issue with your order they happily fix it. Which is a nice service touch.

The place was bursting with customers smiling and having a good time, not to mention you got a beautiful view of the harbor as you ate your meal. My only complaint was that it was a bit small so the dining area did get a little crowded, but it just added to the small town charm, and we were there at a peak busy time. Make sure to check this place out if you are headed to grand Marais-I will for sure be back for more!

He did a great job on a very busy shift. He handled all our requests and provided good insight on the menu.

Highly recommend! *of note, plan for a wait on busier nights. They have a game room and had a bonfire going and poured drinks for us while we waited. Wasn't an issue for us, but the wait was about 40min and climbing.

Our entire party of 7 ordered the Tavern Burger with garlic aioli and a side of their homemade kettle chips, and it did not disappoint. The burger was juicy and flavorful, and the garlic aioli added just the right kick without overpowering everything. Despite some medium wells,well done or still mooing ,the cooks got it right.The kettle chips were crisp, well-seasoned, and tasted fresh.It was definitely a step above your typical side.The waitress boasted about them not having fryers.It thought this was cool. They did lose a star for a filthy high chair and not having a table big enough for a party of 8. One of the highlights was the setting. From our table, we had a clear view of Lake Superior, which made the whole meal feel a little more special. It's hard to beat good food paired with that kind of scenery. The service here was great. Our waitress was kind, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed without being overbearing. It was a relaxed, satisfying meal in a beautiful spot. Definitely worth a stop if you're in Grand Marais.We all agreed this is one of the best burgers we have eaten in a while.
