West Bay Diner-Smash burger super good! And so friendly!! :) Get a malt!---mmmm 3. Lake Superior Brewing Company, Big ass burger, with lots of fries and toppings. The bacon was off thou :(-Place is to busy, staff was arguing amongst themselves, poor management. 4. The break wall- literally zero taste but way way way to expensive, and potato chips with no other choices, Blah premade crap. Place was empty, couldn't tell it was a restaurant or a gift shop or what-seems confused like they are trying to hard. 5. The GM Tavern, tasted like it was a frozen patty on a soggy bun. Nothing here was good. Service was terrible. Half the staff sat at the end of the bar talking to themselves while customers appeared annoyed. Only plus. AC. Back to Fired Up!! I can not say enough good things about this place thou, every time we went here, the wait was not that long even when busy, the counter person was very friendly and informative and all the food was super good. OMG the breakfast burrito could feed a small village. WOW! The gkids loved the donuts!!! This town needs more food trucks!

There's not a lot of food options in Grand Marais, MI. We woke up this morning (more like almost…read morenoon) looking for something to eat. We wanted breakfast but by the time we stumbled upon this food truck it had already stopped serving breakfast (11am) and switched to lunch. It was parked on the side of the road behind the Bayshore Market downtown. The owners are really nice, and the menu is huge. Prices are a little steep, but with limited options, you don't have much choice (and they know that). We each got a burger, cut them in half, so we could each try a different kind. The BBQ Bacon burger and the Swiss onion burger were the choices, with a side of cheese fries. Each burger was just shy of $10, for just the burger. The fries were $8 for a small paper tray of them. Over all everything was good. We were hungry. The BBQ Bacon burger was better than the Swiss onion, in my opinion. The bland cheese on the bland fries was like yellow soup that just made them soggy. They weren't seasoned or salted or anything. They were cooked perfectly as were the burgers. We didn't get drinks, so our two burgers and the soggy fries we shared was about $30 total. Seemed like I've said this a lot lately, but even this place wasn't anything to write home about. It wasn't bad!! It's just not anything more than over priced food truck grub that served its purpose. I walked away full. Thanks

I can tell you the moo (locally sourced from the owner's brother), fin (whitefish from Lake Superior) and the fries (fresh cut!) are all great! The owner checked on us and shared his story of opening the restaurant. He built the furniture, did the stainless work, tables, benches...all of it! Not sure we'll be back through the area anytime soon, however, if we are, we'll definitely go back. I mean, we tried everything except the ice cream...so we have to? I heard it's a state law.
