    I've been shopping here occasionally over the last year or so. Nice selection and prices, but the…read moreemployees are often weirdly snooty for a discount liquor store. Anyway, I came in looking for empty boxes the other day, as we were about to start packing up my recently-deceased mother-in-law's place. I walked up to the first employee I saw, a little hipster-type fella with a teenager's beard and what I'm sure were some very meaningful arm tattoos. I didn't catch his name, so let's call him "Chad". I asked Chad if I could get some boxes for the move. He sighed, did a full-body eye-roll, gestured to a ceiling-high stack of boxes near the exit, and said "Yeah, but they're for PAYING customers, only." So, whatever. Not going to argue with Chad over wine boxes, so I bought a couple of beers, and headed over to the tower of boxes. Chad then says "We ask that you limit yourself to THREE boxes, sir." So, yeah, screw Chad, screw Chad's wispy-ass beard, and screw anywhere that hires hipster jackasses like Chad. I've been getting boxes for moving from liquor stores for decades, and until Chad, I'd never once been asked to pay for removing what is, essentially, garbage. Today, I went to Super 1 in West Duluth, and they were not only helpful and cool, but they let us have all the boxes we needed. Yanno, because they're EMPTY BOXES. I didn't even need any beer, but I bought some, anyway.

    I've lived in Duluth my whole life and have worked in customer service for the last 15 years. I…read morehave been treated nicer by fellow customers here than the employees that work there. I get they are doing their job to id but let me set my stuff down before you hound me for an ID. I'm 35 years old as well, may not look like it so I get it. Today, I was rushed through by the manager working and I know he was because he denied my Fiancé last year alcohol when he had a valid ID and threatened to call the police on him. He is almost 40 years old, so I asked what he did there. This man is extremely unprofessional and needs to treat every customer equally. I do not want to be disrespected when I simply go to buy a product at this store. I will never be back to this establishment and have told many about my experiences here in the past years. I'll pay more money to get my things at a place where the cashiers are actually respectful to their customers.

    Absolute 5 star experience here. We entered right at they opened at 11 on a Saturday. I told our…read moresever that I had an event coming up at noon so we'd be ordering right away, and by golly, the staff took care of us. Drinks, followed by poutine 5 minutes later, then food about 10 minutes after that. We were all done within 30 minutes! The food was fantastic, too. Delicious poutine, with oozy gooey squeaky cheese curds. I had the smoked fish salad; it had the right amounts of everything and felt like a distinctly Duluth dish. My husband had the fish and chips. I had a bite of his fish, and it was perfect, with great batter and flavor. I would happily come here again on a visit. I can see why this is a city institution.

    Intrigued by their homemade wild rice burgers, we decided to visit Fitger's Brewhouse for a dinner…read morewhile in Duluth. When we arrived a bit after 7PM, we had quite some trouble finding parking and ended up having to park a couple of blocks away after circling for 20 minutes. Walking in, the place wasn't too busy, perhaps 50% capacity. We were interested in ordering the fried cheese curds, but the server told us they weren't battered in house, so we passed on them. Smoked Fish Salad (Market Price, $18.99) - This is a pretty salad - all ingredients are arranged in rows along the dish. Mixing things together is a bit of a pain, but I appreciate the dressing on the side to add to preference. The dressing is an interesting blend of mayo and other ingredients, perhaps BBQ sauce, that make it slightly tangy and very sweet. There's an undertone of smokiness throughout, which tastes somewhat like liquid smoke rather than the dressing actually being smoked. It is on the sweeter side of dressings. Other than greens, there's a row of wild rice, dark and snappy, completely broken cultivated rice. There's also a bit of house smoked trout, nice and smoky. (4/5) Classic Wild Rice Burger ($16.99) - This is one of the tallest burgers I've seen in quite a while, mostly due to the inclusion of fresh vegetables including onion and tomato, and alfalfa sprouts. For some reason instead of using larger tomatoes, they use small roma tomatoes, including three small slices. They also used red onion that's chopped into a variety of different shapes instead of whole slices. It's really strange - I guess this saves on cost? Unfortunately smaller pieces means things fall out while eating. The patty is larger than the bun. It has plenty of broken wild rice bits giving some additional crunch and that signature wild rice taste. It's charred on the griddle well and it keeps its structure, not falling apart or becoming mushy at any point. I love how it's distinctively a rice burger and doesn't try to be a meat substitute. Two slices of American cheese are melted on top that gives some fattiness to the dish. The bun is toasted without butter and there's a flavorful garlic mayo spread on the top. It would be nice if they had also applied the sauce to the bottom bun as I found the patty to not have enough moisture or fat incorporated. The burger comes with some thin commercial fries. There aren't any issues with the level of fry and they are otherwise unremarkable. (4/5) Fitger's Brewhouse serves some solid good old fashioned Midwestern American food. Not much else to say. Bathrooms - Larger ones shared with the rest of the business in the building Food: [4/5] Service: [ ] Other: [ ] Final Rating: 4/5
