The venerable Grandma’s Saloon and Grill in Canal Park in Duluth, Minnesota adds special items to the menu from time to time.

For those of you unfamiliar with the… Continue reading Duluth, MN – Grandma’s Ghost Pepper Cheeseburger Review

Duluth, MN – Midi Restaurant and Wine Bar Review
The venerable Fitger’s Brewery Complex, in Duluth, Minnesota, dates from the late 1800s, and when beer production ceased a few decades ago, local businessmen saved the series of buildings and turned them into a boutique inn, shops, and restaurants. The 62 room inn offers great view of Lake Superior, and easy access to downtown, as… Continue reading Duluth, MN – Midi Restaurant and Wine Bar Review
Duluth, MN (sort of) – The Wabegon
My family rarely took summer vacations; it was my dad’s “busy time” for work. Instead, we skied. A lot. We’d travel around the Upper Midwest on weekends, throw in an occasional trip out West, but our “go to” local place was/is called “Mont du Lac”, and it was at the other end of town from… Continue reading Duluth, MN (sort of) – The Wabegon
7 West Taphouse Review, Duluth, MN
Once upon a time in the Zenith City, the central core of the downtown strip was a vital community of merchants catering to Scandinavian immigrants. Over the years, the immigrants moved out to the extremes of the street car lines, and the downtown became less vibrant, especially the two blocks east and west of the… Continue reading 7 West Taphouse Review, Duluth, MN
Duluth, MN – The “New” Pickwick
Nearly 100 years old, but yet a “newborn”, the Pickwick (“the Wick” to locals) has always been a Minnesota favorite, and has been operated by the same family until this week. The new owners have modernized some of the infrastructure, and will be “updating” (horrors!) the menu. First pic of the new bar area… Continue reading Duluth, MN – The “New” Pickwick
Saginaw, MN – Swamp Sisters
“The best burger I ever had,” claims Minnesota Burger Reporter Kawikamedia. That’s a pretty lofty endorsement. Swamp Sisters opened as a gift shop and retail outlet for the buffalo raised on the local farm, out in Sticksville, MN. OK, really the nearby town is named Saginaw, and it’s 22.2 miles from downtown Duluth, as the… Continue reading Saginaw, MN – Swamp Sisters
Duluth, MN – GB Schneider & Company
Once upon a time, there was a “wrong side of the tracks” in Duluth, Minnesota. East and West, usually people didn’t stray too far from their part of town. Now, the burgeoning hip hop area of “West Duluth” (not to be confused with the “Friendly West End”) is taking on a life of its own,… Continue reading Duluth, MN – GB Schneider & Company

Headquartered in Louisville, a recent add to their location roster is in Duluth, MN, in the ‘restaurant cluster’ in and around the Miller Hill Mall.

Duluth, MN – The Spot Sports Bar & Grill
Nestled inside the Incline Station Bowling Center, the newly remodeled Spot Sports Bar & Grill, offers typical bar food: burgers, pizza, sandwiches, (menu below) and a host of deep-fried stuff. Why is it called “Incline Station?” No, it’s not because you might be inclined (chortle)to go there, but rather, it sits on the space that… Continue reading Duluth, MN – The Spot Sports Bar & Grill
