Was traveling to Duluth for biz. Heard about this legendary restaurant. I had the sirloin tip & mushroom bowl. Tasty, but super salty. Also, only 2 chunks of beef. Would def go back when in area and try something else.

Delightful experience, great food and top notch service by Tyler. I enjoyed the kababs, with order of fries. Wife enjoyed the turkey on cranberry wild rice bread & cup of chicken wild rice. Excellent! Plenty of parking and not too busy for 4pm Saturday afternoon. Booths, tables, hightops and bar seating available. Spent $72 total for dinner for two, no alcohol drinks which kept cost lower than we usually spend. Highly recommend for all the right reasons.

Nice atmosphere. Trout sandwich had very little meat or substance. Chicken sandwiches looked good, not toasted bread. No refills on water. Seemed too busy to check on customers. Fun experience overall, food looked good. Fries and fried cheese were great.

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!

What a great themed restaurant with great food, service, and atmosphere. The pictures do not do it justice. This is a must see and experience restaurant if you’re in the Duluth area. My only suggestion would be to advise your guests that there are two completely different menus between the main floor and the upper level before you seat them.

We recently had the opportunity to dine at Grandma’s Saloon & Grill for the first time. Although we have frequently visited Duluth while traveling to and from the North Shore, we had never had the chance to visit Grandma’s until now. On a summer weekday afternoon, the establishment was half full. The service was excellent, and we were impressed by the ambiance. However, the food was average and somewhat overpriced. I opted for the Chicken Pot Pie, while my wife chose the Walleye.

Great location and great enviornment but a bit noisy so if that’s not your vibe I’d not come or arrive earlier. There’s a normal booth seating area but also a bar seating area. I got Smoky Baked Mac N’ Cheese which was extremely good and I’d definitely eat again if I returned. They’ve got a decent range of dishes such as pasta, side pieces, beverages, a kid menu, starters, burgers, salads, sandwiches, and such. The pieces around the restaurant on the walls, ceiling, and such were quite unique and had good humour to it. They’ve also got a merchandise/souvenir section right next to the entrance/exit.

This was a very pleasant experience. Our server Hannah was very nice and made it a good experience. We were really hungry and this place certainly did the job the monte cristo was good and the walleye was good too i would come here again but also wasnt something I would rave about or recommend to all my friends. Really cool location and atmosphere though.
