★★★★★ 5.0 Barb Kelm · Jan 2026

We were looking for a restaurant halfway between Duluth and the Twin Cities and came across this place based on the reviews—so we decided to give it a try. We’re so glad we did! When we arrived, we were greeted by the woman working behind the bar. We told her there were eight of us, and she happily helped us move tables together so we could all sit as a group. I’m sorry I didn’t get her name because she truly deserves recognition—she was fantastic! She made great menu recommendations, and everything we ordered was a hit. We started with the artichoke dip and pickle fries with homemade ranch—so good! Our burgers and sandwiches were all delicious, and the pretzel was amazing as well. Wonderful service, great food, and a welcoming atmosphere. We will definitely be back!

Celebrated a birthday which included both Twin Cities and Duluth folks, so we met 'halfway'. The positive reviews were what brought us here, and we were not disappointed. We were a little worried when we only saw one server, but she was FANTASTIC, both timely and extremely personable. We had a 4 apps and 6 sandwiches and all but 1 were rated 'great'. Burgers were a hit; onion rings and the spinach dip appetizer were fabulous. We all said we would come back.

What a fun spot. Worth the drive off 35 on the way up North. Had a variety of appetizers and burgers. Everything was good! Server was quick and fun to chat with.

Came in for the chase matthews concert. All if the bar tenders where friendly. It was busy and they brought the food and drinks quickly.

We stopped in for the 1st time after driving past numerous times. Super friendly staff and cool vibe. Great wings and rings. Worth a stop. We’ll definitely be back
