Great little pit stop to make if you're in the area. You MUST get one of their sandwiches. Huge…read moresandwiches piled high with toppings. I had the special, which was turkey with coleslaw. Amazing. I forget what my boyfriend got but it was a cold sandwich with different deli meats, cheese, and veg. See picture. Their beef sticks (the teriyaki, in particular) were the best I've ever had, and being born and raised in the Midwest, I've tried a lot of beef sticks. Their cheese was also great (I recommend the sharp cheddar, bacon cheddar, smoked provolone, and onion cheese). Ice cream was okay. The interior and exterior are very instagram-able. Worth a day trip from the cities for sure! Check out the nearby National Eagle Center while you're in town.

Seems like a really busy takeout spot. Order: the North Star deluxe. Delicious. Their take on a Reuben without the kraut. All the meats were delicious and distinctive in flavor. The creole mayo added that nice creaminess. The homemade pickles on the side added that little vinegar punch to cut thru the richness of the sandwich. Smoked salmon BLT. Huge potion of perfectly smoked salmon. The smoke and crunch of the bacon was a perfect pairing. This is an amazing creative surf and turf. Overall: This is a must try on your Minnesota food tour.

This last visit I had a gyro and a tomato basil soup. Both were very good. I'll be back!

The space is simple, yet homey, giving neighborhood deli/restaurant vibes which goes along with the seemingly large amount of regulars enjoying lunch! Counter service was simple, efficient, and friendly. The menu is all a la carte, so you can order the sandwiches and sides that float your boat! I ordered the Swamp Thing, from their Big Chickens menu. You can imagine my slight disappointment when the sandwich arrived and it was a fairly small piece of chicken included. The taste was delicious and wonderful, but if it's advertised as a "big chicken", I'd expect a sizeable serving. Other than that, I think this is a great, no frills, casual spot to grab lunch in the area! I'd love to come back and try some more menu items.

Everything was there. Except the fact I ordered and paid for 4 double cheeseburgers and they were McDoubles. Ellsworth McDonald's, if your goal is to keep on doing this and not ever doing anything to make it right, you're doing great at it because you just lost another customer along with several others that I know.
