Two words: Whitefish livers…read more Where have these been all of my life? Granted, I'm a liver eater. Chopped chicken liver is one of my all time favorite things. Duck liver, goose liver, calves liver, cod liver, monkfish liver, sign me up. But somehow whitefish livers have evaded me. These were delicious! I also had what might have been the most midwestern meal ever. Cheese curds with ranch dressing, a plate of whitefish livers, and a sweet brandy old fashioned to wash it all down. On the specialty drinks menu I couldn't resist the Berens Brandy Old Fashioned. I mean, I have been a fan of Charlie Berens for a few years but I didn't realize he had his own brandy for the definitive cocktail of Wisconsin. It was delicious, but it also turned out to be $12. For my second round I just got a regular brandy old fashioned which was also quite good, but weighed in at five bucks. Let the buyer beware. Which is ultimately why Pier Plaza fell short of the fifth star. The prices feel a bit high for what it is. Granted, it's right by the water, in a remote part of the state, and thrives on tourists. And that's fine. I have no regrets and would absolutely recommend folks who might be passing through to stop in for a very Wisconsin meal. Portions are large, so plan accordingly.

Intrigued by their homemade wild rice burgers, we decided to visit Fitger's Brewhouse for a dinner…read morewhile in Duluth. When we arrived a bit after 7PM, we had quite some trouble finding parking and ended up having to park a couple of blocks away after circling for 20 minutes. Walking in, the place wasn't too busy, perhaps 50% capacity. We were interested in ordering the fried cheese curds, but the server told us they weren't battered in house, so we passed on them. Smoked Fish Salad (Market Price, $18.99) - This is a pretty salad - all ingredients are arranged in rows along the dish. Mixing things together is a bit of a pain, but I appreciate the dressing on the side to add to preference. The dressing is an interesting blend of mayo and other ingredients, perhaps BBQ sauce, that make it slightly tangy and very sweet. There's an undertone of smokiness throughout, which tastes somewhat like liquid smoke rather than the dressing actually being smoked. It is on the sweeter side of dressings. Other than greens, there's a row of wild rice, dark and snappy, completely broken cultivated rice. There's also a bit of house smoked trout, nice and smoky. (4/5) Classic Wild Rice Burger ($16.99) - This is one of the tallest burgers I've seen in quite a while, mostly due to the inclusion of fresh vegetables including onion and tomato, and alfalfa sprouts. For some reason instead of using larger tomatoes, they use small roma tomatoes, including three small slices. They also used red onion that's chopped into a variety of different shapes instead of whole slices. It's really strange - I guess this saves on cost? Unfortunately smaller pieces means things fall out while eating. The patty is larger than the bun. It has plenty of broken wild rice bits giving some additional crunch and that signature wild rice taste. It's charred on the griddle well and it keeps its structure, not falling apart or becoming mushy at any point. I love how it's distinctively a rice burger and doesn't try to be a meat substitute. Two slices of American cheese are melted on top that gives some fattiness to the dish. The bun is toasted without butter and there's a flavorful garlic mayo spread on the top. It would be nice if they had also applied the sauce to the bottom bun as I found the patty to not have enough moisture or fat incorporated. The burger comes with some thin commercial fries. There aren't any issues with the level of fry and they are otherwise unremarkable. (4/5) Fitger's Brewhouse serves some solid good old fashioned Midwestern American food. Not much else to say. Bathrooms - Larger ones shared with the rest of the business in the building Food: [4/5] Service: [ ] Other: [ ] Final Rating: 4/5

Drinks, followed by poutine 5 minutes later, then food about 10 minutes after that. We were all done within 30 minutes! The food was fantastic, too. Delicious poutine, with oozy gooey squeaky cheese curds. I had the smoked fish salad; it had the right amounts of everything and felt like a distinctly Duluth dish. My husband had the fish and chips. I had a bite of his fish, and it was perfect, with great batter and flavor. I would happily come here again on a visit. I can see why this is a city institution.

This was our favorite of the two.

Well when I went in They said they had a Seat ready. Oh okay great I thought:) Server seemed irritated from the get go. Meat loaf was decent. Mash potatoes and bread were very excellent. She brought my food and my drink in a reasonable time frame. But she seemed off. Barely would acknowledge me when she took my order. Okay. I figured it was 4:30 when I got there. She is probably just tired and it's busy. That's was fine. I thought. I asked her if I could get another soda in a few minutes when she brought my meal. She seemed irritated all over again. She ignored me from there on. Halfway through I said excuse me Miss? I was trying to just get her attention since she wouldn't make any eye contact after she dropped off my food. I had the empty glass at the end of the table for about 15 min into my meal. I saw her look over her shoulder and kept walking. I was like did I just see that? Okay. Then I see her bring a milk shake to the table next to me. She went to walk away again. I tried to flag her down again and said excuse me Miss? . She said I will be with you in a minute. With an abrupt dirty look and proceeds to take another tables order. It's a very small dining room which would normally add to the charm of this place. I was done with the meal for about five minutes she then brings me my soda. It seemed on purpose or passive aggressive. Like she was trying to put me in my place or something. It would have been nice to have this while eating my meal. I was thinking what is going on here? I asked her if she could just bring me the check. Why would I continue to ask for pie which was the only thing I wanted anyways after how weird this server was being. She proceeds to slam the check down and she sees I have a credit card in my hand and says pay me when you're ready and walks away again. I was thinking what is happening right now. When she came back I. asked her did I do anything to offend you? She went off. She got defensive and said she did nothing wrong. Do you want my manager? She said . I said no. I just wanted another soda and you seemed to be blatantly me. I don't need your Manager. Then she left and came back and said I don't like being yelled at. I was thinking this is crazy. I was like whaaaaaaaat? That is the one gosh Darn thing I asked for during that whole meal. Heaven for bid if you would give a person water with their meal. I left a $0.00. Usually I leave more than 20%. Wow just wow. The other server in the restaurant was as sweet as pie. She was so nice and friendly. I wished for that server instead. Maybe I would have gotten that darn pie.

However they were out of whitefish that day so substituted trout with my approval. They were OK, the fine breading was a little tough and there was way too much fish on each tortilla. I wasted over half of the fish. Three huge tacos was too many, I would in retrospect suggest a choice of one, two or three. The slaw was not pineapple slaw as listed but still tasty. The french fries were hot and crispy, I am a french fry lover. We'll be back next visit.
