I can see why this is rated the number one restaurant by Trip Advisor in Duluth. Absolutely a gem of a place in Duluth. I would highly encourage getting a reservation. You might end up waiting quite a bit to get a table without one. The view of Superior is spectacular if you can score outdoor seating. The food....what can I say? Absolutely delicious. My wife is gluten intolerant and they can make most of their dishes gluten free. They even have gluten free pastas and all their sauces are already gluten free. The staff is wonderful. Overall 5/5.
We were looking for a breakfast place as we drove up to Duluth early and this place came up with a 4.8 star rating. All I can say is that it deserves that rating. Great service and food. I loved that the menu labeled gluten free, vegetarian, and vegan options! The woman serving us was super awesome and between her and other servers they made sure our coffee and water were filled when they got low. It's rare finding places this good, especially on the fly.
BEST experience, all the way around! Brisket was flavorful and DELICIOUS; dipping sauce options were varied, house-made, and tasty; my dietary-delicate husband was able to get a phenomenal burger on a gluten-free bun; sides were unique and mouthwatering (I tried the hush puppies, pecan-topped sweet potatoes, and my husband's fries); and the drinks were excellent - SO MANY bourbon options! We requested to sit on the patio. It was peaceful and the atmosphere was stellar. I cannot recommend this place enough. If I am ever in Duluth again, I'm going back to try the pulled pork.
My only complaint is that it said on the menu that gluten-free buns would not be an additional charge, but they did charge us a few dollars extra for it. I think because we told them not to worry about cross-contamination? Lucky for them, everything else was 6/5 stars.
One of the best restaurants in Duluth if you don’t want to spend a lot of money but do want good food and have a good time. It gets busy during dinner time like most places and they have music every night so if you aren’t into how loud it gets it’s still worth it to order takeout, which on Saturday you have to do in person. I recommend avoid using a car to get there since parking is very limited in the area when it is busy. They have a lot of different food options so if you need vegetarian, vegan, or gluten free they can accommodate you. Honestly I don’t think they have a single bad item on the menu.
I have severe celiac and I safely ate delicious food here! My server was kind and knowledgeable. I was told by my partner and brother that the gluten food was also delicious.
Great food, great service, and great atmosphere! I would recommend the smaller portion sizes unless you’d like two meals! Our server Rich gave great suggestions, was incredibly friendly, and attentive. When we arrived on a weeknight, the wait was about 20 minutes (no reservations). Handicap accessible, small parking lot out front, and options for dietary restrictions (gluten & dairy). Overall a great experience!
Met friends for a post Christmas dinner. Our server, Joey, helped make our night thoroughly enjoyable! He had the best attitude and was joyful and engaging. It made up for the length of time it took getting drinks and food to our table. Drinks were delicious - our group especially loved the apple pie moonshine! Apps like tater tots, onion rings, and steak were good. Entrées left something to be desired, though. My fish tacos were cold and my friends gluten free pasta was overcooked. We held back on complaining because we were just enjoying ourselves so much! Big thanks to Joey for the awesome service!
A nice spot in the heart of Canal Park. Patio seating and indoor seating, with sizable dining space.
They have a huge selection of delicious sandwiches and can accommodate for gluten free customers with gluten free bread and salads. The food is so amazingly good!
A deli is also available to take home their in house smoked fish.
They also have live music.
Jackson was friendly and went the extra mile for my grandparents (ages 89 and 91) - food was SO good- happy I could eat a meal that was totally gluten and dairy free and delicious! Can’t wait to go back!
I recommend reservations as it was busy!
Only took off one star for atmosphere as it was really hot, it’s a small building😃
First time trying this place. I was looking for a gluten free sandwich and got the breakfast sandwich. It was just ok, nothing special, but the gluten free chocolate chip cookies were really good!
Amazing! Everything on the menu is gluten-free!!! We got tacos and a chicken bowl - DELICIOUS! I was so bummed to learn they were closed on Tuesdays because I wanted to order it one more time on our way out of town. I will be back!
Dedicated fryer for the fries. Chicken wings can also be made gluten free. Gluten free bun available but had to make sure that the bun did not get toasted in the machine where the regular buns go. Very knowledgeable staff and if they don’t know, they make sure to ask before inputting your order. Just make sure that you advocate for yourself and ask about kitchen and prep practices.
Read some reviews and figured our family would give the restaurant a try.
Where to start...........The gluten free option for the burger came with plain, white, gluten free bread. Just a typical burger with lettuce, tomatoes, and onion...not a gluten free bun. I was expecting a bit more for a $22 burger. The kids burgers and grilled cheese were fine. All came with soggy, unflavored fries..they were not good.
The "market value" steak took forever to get to our table...everyone was about half way finished with their meal once my daughter got her steak....it was plated well but for 40 bucks, I would have expected a more timely served and better cut of meat. It looked like a $12 sirloin. Not even close to a ribeye cut.
The drinks were creative and were executed well...I cook a lot and have been to pretty much every restaurant in the Duluth area....this is NOT one I suggest.
I'm all about supporting local businesses and paying extra when it's deserved. I don't post reviews EVER, but paying close to $300, I expected so much more. I hope the restaurant turns it around. They definitely have potential too.
Service was good . I DO NOT recommend the $2.99 gluten free buns . Waste of money and disappointing . Completely crumble and I should have saved $2.99 and stuck to my bunless burger . I do have Celiacs , so advice to others be careful what you order . Just because it has the marking on the menu for “gluten free” read all ingredients because I had to have a ton of sauces removed from my burger to make it truly gluten free
Nice place, decent service. Food was greatly lacking. They say their burgers are medium....but they were very well done. Dry to eat... edges were actually crunchy. I got the Garlic Mushroom Swiss burger on a gluten free bun. Side salad. Salad was okay. Burger didn't taste like there was garlic, and in general, was not tasty at all. Very messy too. The gluten free bun was cut so there was a lot of bread on top and hardly any bread underneath. Had their router which was meh .. got iced tea sheet that. We were right by the bar and it got really loud for a while. Gluten free is not marked on menu. But it does say they have gluten free buns for 2.00 more. They also have gluten free pizza crust. Probably won't go back though, did was kiind of disappointing.
This is the perfect place to get REAL FOOD! Cori makes everything from scratch with organic ingredients, no GMO's, etc. Great options for vegan and gluten free, and those on special diets. Her salads are delicious! Very personal and friendly service by the owner/operator. Highly recommend!
We were pleasantly surprised by this lovely spot this morning! We enjoyed a tasty breakfast outside with our two kids. Beautiful view, and our server Dennis was absolutely phenomenal! Gluten free options were a plus!
They have to have the BEST chicken tenders I’ve ever had. The breading reminds me of a Good Friday fish fry, and the chicken inside is super moist and tender. I’m coming back soon for round 2! The chips weren’t my favorite, but the gooey cake made up for them.
I’m a dessert lover and won’t recommend a dessert unless it’s worth the calories, and this gooey cake was epic! My friend ordered the lyric burger on a gluten free bun and the flourless chocolate cake and was happy with her choices too. One should never have to eat carbs and dessert alone.
Parking is a hit or miss because it’s downtown, but the annoyance is worth it to get to the food!
Very nice place! If you have nut allergies the only thing you can get is French fries. We asked our waitress and she asked the manager who said due to cross contamination they felt it wouldn't be safe for our nut allergy person. But the desserts were amazing! Lucy's chip cookie ice cream and the strawberry cheesecake were really good! There's a lot of spicy food here! Pepper jack cheese, Chipotle, Hot peppers. So if you like hot stuff it's the place to go! There's gluten free options too.
Had two different gluten free pizza crusts to choose from: cauliflower and regular gluten free crust. I had cauliflower thought it was very good. Nice friendly service and a good atmosphere.
They have gluten free options. Staff is friendly though. I did talk to somebody on the phone who could have helped me a little bit more. Can't remember their name and I'm not sure if they worked at my location. I think they were just an automated call. But their food is great
Amanda was our server! BEST server EVER! She was kind, patient, knowledgeable! There was 9 of us with 5 being teenagers! If servers were all like Amanda restaurants would be so busy! Thank you for a great night! Food was good and flavorful! Server was knowledgeable about gluten free options as well and did not get annoyed when I asked! That is also a plus!
I like that the workers make cleanliness and customer service a priority. I let them know about my gluten intolerance when they made my food and an honest mistake was made. They corrected the mistake immediately, they're very easy to work with.
Amazing food (upscale diner style). I enjoyed a salad bowl option (the Bridgman Bowl) and loved it. I have also ordered the Wild Rice Burger (separate visit) and thought it was delicious. I loved that there were options for the health-conscious person amidst company that love the burgers and fries. Coming from out-of-town, healthier options are important. Though I don't need gluten-free options, gluten-free buns were offered as an option.
What a refreshing new option for Duluth! The dishes were cleverly designed and the flavors melded wonderfully. The atmosphere is very inviting and the service was great! Everyone was super friendly and helpful. They have many gluten free options for those with allergies. We will definitely be back often!
Got to eat here today and it was fabulous! The server knew exactly what I could and couldn't eat with my gluten allergy, he was so helpful! The food was fantastic! I loved that I could sit outside and enjoy the warm weather. Will definitely eat here again!
I enjoyed having a breakfast spot in the canal area. For a Saturday the wait wasn't terrible; we were waiting for the patio and I'm assuming the reason for a few open tables (despite a wait) was due to understaffing issues. My husband was delighted to have gluten free toast as an option for his corn beef hash/over easy egg meal. My salmon hollandaise meal was cool when it came out. Tasted good, but wished it was a bit more fresh out the kitchen. A bit pricey. Our server was very attentive, friendly and checked up on us often. Dog friendly on the patio.
