Maty H.

While visiting in town came across this small cozy restaurant. They are right off the main street which makes it very easy to find. Love the atmosphere the decorations inside super cute. Everybody looks like they're enjoying their meal and conversations. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. I like the fact that they're on task when a table leaves the place. They clean up really quick, which is awesome because they seem to be very busy. My server SHELBY was awesome very nice and attentive. I ended ordering the harvest hash for breakfast. This is absolutely so delicious and perfect for someone who just wants to keep it as a clean healthy meal. The flavor is perfect. You can taste how fresh every single vegetable is. That amount of butter was well balance There's a delicate kind of sweet and sour harmony that makes this dish completely delicious I will definitely come back to this place again. Whenever visit in Minnesota. Thanks Shelby for making this experience even more enjoyable with your great service. My compliments to however is cooking in that kitchen!

Wild rice porridge, english muffin, and lingonberry jam.

I was first introduced to this restaurant in the spring of 2021 and have stopped to have their wild rice porridge (to die for!!!) every time I've been within an hour of a half of it since. The food is out of this world, the service is always top notch, cleanliness has never even appeared on my radar (high standards here), and the prices are extremely reasonable. You absolutely cannot go wrong putting this restaurant at the top of your "must visit" list!

Club

Staff was friendly. This cute little place was amazing. The food was so tasty. I had the club. And it was big to big took half home. The sauce was interesting but have it good flavor. There was an omelet and country fried steak. Every one enjoyed their meal. The voice was too notch. The nutty professor was had and consumed lol. Check it out if your around. It was busy the whole time we were there. But that did not hinder service.

Had my 50th birthday breakfast here. The food was lovely, and you get huge portions for the money. The coffee mugs are huge too! The service was good. I'm happy we chose this spot!

Scandavian breakfast
Tolulope R.

Stopped by for brunch on a Saturday. The place is cute. My waitress Shauna was friendly and attentive. I ordered the cinammon dolce latte which was delicious. Felt like I was drinking dessert. I also got Scandinavian breakfast and thoroughly enjoyed it. It was fried bread pudding was filling. It came with choice of sausage, bacon. I got chicken sausage with fruit. Would recommend coming here.

Wild rice soup, salad, carmel latte
Robb Yelp M.

Such a cute place! I ordered a soup and a sandwich and got a soup and a salad, which was a bummer but it was really loud at the time so I don't fault the server. The salad had pico in it which I wouldn't get next time but my gosh was the wild rice soup good! And loved the salted carmel latte!

Castle danger hash
Katelyn O.

This was such a good meal! I got the wild rice porridge, it was delicious and unique, and also super aesthetically pleasing. My boyfriend got the castle danger hash which he loved, i tried a bite and the corned beef was cooked perfectly, it was very good. We also got cocktails which were surprisingly strong! The service was friendly and helpful as well. I also can't get over how cheap this meal was for how good everything was! I will be stopping here on my way up to Grand Marais for now on.

This was nice; I stopped here for breakfast on my way back from camping a little further north, and I was very satisfied with my food. I decided to try the Pesto Eggs Benedict, which sounds like it might be weird except they use sausage instead of ham, and I was quickly reminded of the fact that sausage and pesto go great together. It was really good; they don't use too much pesto hollandaise and the sausage is very flavorful, so I could see myself ordering that again. It came with home fries, which were cooked well but I wished I'd gotten some sauce to swirl them in to give them some flavor. I also got a cafe mocha which was really perfect. They absolutely did not have sufficient coverage in the dining room. My server was friendly and was visibly working very hard, but it was impossible to flag her down for some more water and I had to wait longer than I wanted to for my check. I also overheard someone complaining that their check was incorrect. She took care of them; I'm just saying they definitely need more staff.

Small, cute, fast, affordable, delicious. Especially the drinks!! Right next door is a cute souvenir shop you can check out!

A group of us ate here on a Tuesday night as we were staying nearby. We did have a bit of a…read morelanguage barrier with a new server. We needed to find out what foods were ok for a member of our group that had a dairy allergy and we were having a hard time communicating that. She was super nice though and got the manager who sorted us out. She was a very attentive server throughout the meal and did a great job. We were very pleased with the food and the drinks. We had the pizza, the fancy burger, and the steak tacos. The indoor ambiance was also quite nice and this turned out to be a pretty fancy place. Even though the exterior of the hotel is a bit run-down, this restaraunt was very nice. We almost felt a bit underdressed in our hiking clothes. Would definitely go back.

We sat by a window with a decent view of the water and plenty of light. Our server was very friendly and helpful. While we waited for our food, we walked out on the deck, which led to scenic marshy areas with trails. I ordered beet wellington with arugula, and my spouse had a chicken dish with risotto. Just half of the beet wellington with the arugula was enough to fill me up. I liked the beet wellington, but it would have been better if they figured out a way to season the beet. Maybe pierce it and marinate it a bit? The chicken and risotto were also good. If we were hungrier, we would have supplemented these dishes with more vegetables. This was a nice place to stop before returning on a long drive home. We enjoyed relaxing in the spacious dining room with evocative upscale cabin decor. As I finished typing this, my spouse chimed in, "Not amazing, but pretty good." And in a touristy area where restaurant quality can be hit or miss, pretty good is exactly that: pretty good. We'll take it.

Kari's Rating 9/10…read more This place is all the way up in Duluth, Minnesota-and wow, what acquaint little pie house.

As someone who comes from a very city, this was the cutest little pie diner. Their most famous pie is the. So obviously I had to get that one! Although I was super stuffed from breakfast, I definitely had to take a little taste. You can't come all way up here and not try a slice. Everybody working here was relatively attentive and they seem like genuinely nice people, I was never rushed in my order and I was directed outside to place the takeout order. We ordered a Carmel apple slice and a Great Lakes slice which contained rhubarb, blueberry, apple, raspberry, and bumbleberry. The pie wasn't super sweet and the crust was perfectly light and crumbly with the perfect amount of sweetness. Honestly, I was gonna save this piece for later, but I ate the entire thing in seven minutes. If you have a chance to come here, do it, you will not regret it!

I got a slice of the Chocolate banana cream pie and it was amazing. Parking can be tight, but they do have a large parking lot.

And for me, part of the experience is slowing down to enjoy the moment. No small part of that enjoyment comes from drinking my coffee in a proper vessel. It could be a ceramic coffee cup, or a bowl, or a heavy glass, or a demitasse cup on a saucer. Different shops can have their own style, but if you refuse to serve a well crafted drink in something other than paper, that's an issue for me. Especially when the proper cups are right there! I see them. And I get that washing dishes can be a pain in the neck, but coffee shops can charge what they charge for beans and water because they are providing an experience. Sorry. Thanks for hearing me out. Beyond that, this place is lovely. The people are friendly, which should not be a surprise in Minnesota. The cortado was good, but hard to fully appreciate or evaluate in its sad little paper cup. My family was happy with their drinks. And the outdoor space is simply magical. This is a tucked away little modern coffee oasis in a remote part of Minnesota and I'm very glad it exists and can provide me and others the energy boost needed after hours of nature walks in the area.
