    Frying the fresh taters, They are Excellent!!
    Robert P.

    OK, it's a Burger Joint, Not a Michelin Resturant.. As a Burger Joint goes, it's 5 stars.... I ordered a Double Patty melt with fries. Excellent Excellent Excellent... they clearly are cutting their own fries, something You don't see often today.. and the fries were outstanding.. The Patty Melt very good.. I had sat at the counter and had excellent service and really enjoyed the show watching the orders being put together... Not a white table cloth place.. If You want a Burger Shack.. This has to be on Your List

    BBQ Bacon no bun w/ side salad
    Dave M.

    A burger joint's burger joint. Big Daddy greeted me when I walked in. Quick service but they get busy early - very popular spot for the locals. Great menu and they do have some other menus items - meatloaf, pot roast, salads , etc. - but it is called Big Daddy's Burgers, so when in Duluth... Got a BBQ Bacon Burger no bun with a "side" salad. The salad was huge - and super fresh. The burger was fabulous. Quality meat and cooked perfectly. Juicy and full of flavor. Great prices, great food, outstanding service!!!

    Belly Buster

    This was my last stop on my Duluth trip. I heard about the burger and fry challenge so I had to try it! The place is near lookout drive so it was easy to find. The divey place is located in a strip mall. Service was great with counter service for those like me that are flying solo. I love to sit at the counter and watch the cooks. I learn many new cooking techniques at the counter! I had prepared all day for this challenge. Very light breakfast, spent the better part of the day walking at Gooseberry Falls and Two Harbors accumulating about 12000 steps. I thought I was ready so I ordered the famous Belly Buster, not to be confused with The Challenge (4 more lbs. of beef and .5 lb. more fries) I sat and watched as they served up the many other patrons in the café with tons of fries. If you want GREAT homemade fries this is the place to come. You will NOT go away hungry and they are seasoned well. As I watched the cook prepare my burger beast I couldn't help but ask about the Challenge burger. The cook said he has had many try but few have made the Wall of Fame. The chef said that when that order comes in, it takes the whole 4 ft. grill to prepare the monstrosity burger. Well my time had come. The BIG burger starring me in the face and the pile of fries. I watched Man vs Food, I got this...I thought? I had ordered a glass of water but sparingly drank it as I knew that would fill my gut. I started on the fries and had a good pace. I wanted to see if I could do it in under an hour, even though there is no time limit on this challenge. I was well into it with 10 minutes time gone. Then I tried the burger. I could barely take a bite it was so HUGE. I mowed through half the burger in about 5-minutes. It tasted great. I figured I would still enjoy the meal not like those "hotdog" eating machines that liquefy the dog! The burger was gone at the 25 minute mark. The remaining pile of fries slowly dwindled as I reluctantly shoved them into my mouth. In just under 40 minutes I completed the Belly Buster challenge. I had a nearly 4-hour drive home so I decided to visit the Enger Tower and walk off some of the meal. It helped but I still rank this in my top 10 stupidest things I have done. No regrets but I think I will leave the challenges to the big boys on TV. I would certainly visit this place again. The menu is extensive and you will NOT go away hungry. Best of all it tastes great.

    The Breakfast Burger

    Absolutely unassuming place located outside of Duluth in a strip mall, Big Daddy's promised a damn good burger and that is what I was looking for. Walking in, there wasn't a table open so I sat at the bar that overlooks the kitchen. I got to watch all the one and out of the kitchen (for better or worse). Yes, the fries are freshly cut and fried, I watched it happen. The building itself is nothing fancy. Tired,worn out furniture and building but once again, if the food is good can be forgiven. I ordered the Breakfast Burger - a burger topped with bacon, egg, and peanut butter sandwiched between french toast and served with a side of maple syrup...ah, yes please. Verdict - was it worth going off the beaten path? ABSOLUTELY. The burger was piping hot and absolutely delicious. Probably the most unhealthy thing I have eaten all year and I did not care. The side of fries could have served three people, let alone just me. I loved the unpretentious small town feel, fast and friendly service, large portions, and reasonable prices. Listening to 80's on the radio made it feel like I walked back in time. If you want a damn good burger, come here. It is worth the detour out of town. A truly beautiful gem of small town Americana.

    One pound of meat and fries to get your picture on the wall!

    Hmmm I saw the 4.5 star average and strolled right in there for lunch. The burgers are all over cooked. They actually don't even ask about temperature preference at all. They have a lot of interesting flavor combinations and a giant pile of fries as a side. Sadly the fries are browned yet very soft. We were so hungry this place worked in a pinch but we won't return. Also long blonde server was soooooo slow, a lady with short brown curly hair was excellent and helped us more than our own waitress. Kudos to her

    We hit up this spot on our way out of Duluth, it's off the beaten path but that's ok if you want something outside of the canal park food options. Burgers were good but fries were even better! Stop in! Have a burger and hang out at the counter and enjoy!

    This is a burger joint worth taking a detour for. I've always felt welcome walking in here. The crew is very friendly. We grabbed the big table in the back. The decorations used to be very sparse, now they have a wall of... interesting art. We made our orders and the server was great in helping us get exactly what we all wanted. Super helpful, thank you! The food came out fast. The onion rings are the bomb! The sweet onions have the most amazing batter and are cooked to a golden happiness. The burgers were delicious and cooked exactly to our specifications. The topping to beef to bun ratio were just spectacular! Awesome service and awesome food! I can't wait for my next Big Daddy's Burger!

    Big Daddy's 1/2 burger with a fried egg

    Today the wife and I dined in to have an amazing meal from Big Daddy's Burgers. It's definitely noticeable how popular this little establishment is when you first arrive. The hustle and bustle of patrons going in and out of this area is truly amazing. It is unfortunately how small this place is. It's apparent that it is time to grow and have a bigger place. As you walk by you can see the many people who have attempted the burger challenge and succeeded, myself included haha. As you sit down in this busy place, you know you might be waiting a bit before you get even a glass of water so you better know what you want when that waitress comes your way. My darling wife ordered a patty melt on rye with fries and a coffee, and I ordered the Big Daddy Burger with fries and a coffee. The service really impressed me because despite how busy it was, our food came out fairly fast. My burger was hot and fresh. The English muffin, instead of a burger bun was a great touch for this burger. Cassie really liked her patty melt on rye as well. She's thinking of trying the challenge like I have. We will see haha We look forward to coming back again. Thanks for great service guys! #bigdaddysburgers #burgers #food #foodie #piedmontavenue #duluthmn #schroyer #arrenschroyer #schroyerfamilydaily

    Burgers were decent, can tell they were the typical frozen premade type but decent. Dirty place though. Service was good.

    My son and I were visiting Duluth this past weekend and had breakfast at Duluth Grill, Sunday,…read more5/31. We had checked reviews and saw there were some reviews indicating this restaurant was not as good as it used to be. We decided to see for ourselves as the menu, other positive reviews sounded like it was an incredibly good place to go. It is. It was. It was busy, being a Sunday morning especially, but the staff was handling it all well from our perspective . I used to manage restaurants a long time ago and was impressed with the flow. Our waitress, Natalie, was delightful, knew the menu well to describe and answer questions, and we were not wanting for anything. She checked on us, always grinning and managing the iace well. I had the banana bread pancakes. A perfect choice ! They came and looked like a picture stacked up and flowing down with Carmel, maple bourbon syrup, marzcapone cream and nuts. So delicious. I took half home and enjoyed the rest later. Heated up perfectly with a 20 second zap in micro. My son had the corn beef hash skillet and said his was just as good as mine. We both agreed that we had no idea why reviews were negative, especially going on a busy morning. We will be going back every time we visit. I recommend you do too.

Today I went for the Blueberry Yum Yum which is a chicken sandwich with blueberry compote and jalapenos. They make their own compote and are almost out so hurry while you can to try this item. Very good and very messy but the combo worked surprisingly well. Don't miss the hashbrowns as they are truly excellent. And the Local tea is always a favorite with honey and lemon. Free parking. Cynthia S. did a great job serving us today.

The Details: For those of you who know me, you know I take a Bar B Que review seriously. So here goes! The Service was outstanding! Admittedly, people are nice in Duluth, but Sarah F went above and beyond. We should have been a terrible table for her... two dudes, a little girl, and a dog. However, she was gracious and patient, right from the start. When we treated her well and started talking BBQ, she brought out the team. Thank you to the front manager Sam who chatted us up. A special thank you to pitmaster Josh and Sean who rolled up their sleeves and talked Turkey.... Literally!!! The ambiance is perfect! Shaded outdoor space during the day was a huge plus! It was perfect! On to the food.... This is a traditional Southern Pride propane/wood smoked BBQ. I am personally not a fan of these smokers, but OMC did well. I found the St louis ribs to be the best cook of them all, with perfect tenderness. The brisket has solid seasoning with plenty pepper. The poblano corn was a fun side! Overall, a great little find in Duluth.
