    A bowl and a side of Creamy Chicken & Wild Rice Soup
    James R.

    We tried the Creamy Chicken & Wild Rice Soup and the Rueben. The both tasted great, but the soup was not hot enough. Our waitress was very busy, but the other waitresses seemed available to assist. Not sure if there was a territorial battle for tips, but... The Rueben tasted great (as advertised), but it took quite a while to come out. I would imagine that the kitchen may have a problem keeping up on a busy night.

    French dip.

    Black Woods was a decent place. Someone got the Reuben. It looked tasty and she said it was. My friend got spicy burger. The patty was thick with quality meat. My friend always gets this here. This time she said her bottom bun was soggy. A hot freshly made burger should not have enough time to get soggy on the bottom unless it was sitting while other meals were being prepared. I had the French dip. The roll was fresh, soft, and easy to dip and eat. It was good but I felt it needed a little salt. The au jus didn't have much flavor. It should be rich in flavor to bring this dish all together and they just missed the mark. We also had cheese curds. Doesn't sound good to me but they sure tasted great. I had never had them. I can't believe I have been missing out on this. They were the highlight of the menu. They were super crispy with gooey cheese inside. The curds had fantastic seasoning with a great crunch on the outside. One of my friends eats here all the time and it's her favorite restaurant. Maybe I was just there on an off day.. I would definitely give them another try though

    Wild Rice Melt Side of Sweet Potato Fries

    The food here is incredible and beyond delicious!! They did not skimp on the serving size. And I'll have to take the other half home. If I can stop munching on the sweet potato fries!! The waitress,Carrie was super cheery and helpful. Next time I swing by this town. I'm absolutely coming back.

    On my birthday my waitress made my day . I was all alone and she made me a birthday treat . Her name is Dee and she is amazing

    Patty Melt and Stuffed Tots
    Tricia K.

    Stopped here on the way home from Grand Marais for lunch. We sat on the patio to enjoy the amazing weather. I ordered the patty melt with loaded stuff tots. Both were excellent! The patty melt had a nice thick burger with a good amount of grilled onions. The bread was slightly toasted and so good. The tots were SO good. They are really big and stuffed with all the goodness served with a side of season sour cream. The patio was nice but the fly situation was not. Our server was attentive and kind. Would definitely stop here again.

    We popped in for a late dinner. Service was amazing. Castle Danger (local, 5 blocks away) cream ale is my new favorite beer, and I live in Hendersonville NC with like 50 local breweries in my town and Asheville. The fish was wonderful. The cabbage salad was barely dressed, which was refreshing. The garlic butter was really good as was the cornbread. The roll was food service grade. The meatloaf was delicious and plenty. Will probably eat there again this week.

    Here's my shortest review so far. I found Blackwoods to be overrated, expensive and disappointing. The wait while tables were available and the view of cars on 61 just 20 feet from your window... also not impressive. The lobster mac and cheese, just skip that expensive blah. The fish fry that caught my attention on the menu, it's seasonal and not available by October so I tried the Reuben and have to say that was the only bright spot for our table. It was good and without it I would have given only 1 star. The patio looks nice if its warm out and its open and you don't mind the sound of traffic. Maybe just calk in and order the Reuben to go and enjoy a stop somewhere along the North Shore.

    Castle Danger Cream Ale
    Jim B.

    I wanted to like this place more. First time here. We put our name on the outdoor seating list, then sat at the bar to have a beer. The Castle Danger Cream Ale was old and really cold. The bar tender was pretty busy. We waited about 5 minutes before we were addressed. No problem. We waited maybe 15 minutes for an outdoor table. Quite acceptable. Autem was our server. She was very nice. Food came in a reasonable amount of time and food terms were spot on. My cons: - 2 of us asked for water when the food came out. I was done with my sandwich when the water came out. Not a huge deal but slower than it should have been - Wild Rice Chicken Soup was awful. No taste and the worst Wild Rice soup I've ever had. Skip this. Autem kindly removed the soup from the check. I'd come back but I might read more reviews before hand.

We needed to find out what foods were ok for a member of our group that had a dairy allergy and we were having a hard time communicating that. She was super nice though and got the manager who sorted us out. She was a very attentive server throughout the meal and did a great job. We were very pleased with the food and the drinks. We had the pizza, the fancy burger, and the steak tacos. The indoor ambiance was also quite nice and this turned out to be a pretty fancy place. Even though the exterior of the hotel is a bit run-down, this restaraunt was very nice. We almost felt a bit underdressed in our hiking clothes. Would definitely go back.

Still, I don't regret going here. We sat by a window with a decent view of the water and plenty of light. Our server was very friendly and helpful. While we waited for our food, we walked out on the deck, which led to scenic marshy areas with trails. I ordered beet wellington with arugula, and my spouse had a chicken dish with risotto. Just half of the beet wellington with the arugula was enough to fill me up. I liked the beet wellington, but it would have been better if they figured out a way to season the beet. Maybe pierce it and marinate it a bit? The chicken and risotto were also good. If we were hungrier, we would have supplemented these dishes with more vegetables. This was a nice place to stop before returning on a long drive home. We enjoyed relaxing in the spacious dining room with evocative upscale cabin decor. As I finished typing this, my spouse chimed in, "Not amazing, but pretty good." And in a touristy area where restaurant quality can be hit or miss, pretty good is exactly that: pretty good. We'll take it.

Cons: Very high price compared to most lodging options in the area. Bed mattress is very firm. There is a thin layer of pillow top, but it is well broken down. I had a back ache both early mornings, waking up well before I wanted to. The ironing board is one of those mini ones with a dirty old cover. Although there were wine glasses, there was no cork screw in the room. Although there are big candles in the bathroom there is no matches provided to light them. The s'mores kit we were provided had stale marshmallows. One of the bathroom sink bowls had some kind of unsightly chemical damage. In-room TV is small (20") and low quality. Refrigerator froze our milk solid. I'd be fine with the issues of this place, if the price was lower. For the price they are charging, none of these cons should exist.

Overall, I would stay here again. I love Two Harbors and the entire area. It's much better than going to Lake Tahoe bc there's little to no traffic & Lake Superior is the biggest freshwater lake in America.
