    With not many options in the area, we stopped at Cove Point Crossing with pretty low expectations. However, I was pleasantly surprised but how much I liked this little bar and grill. It is small, not many tables but wasn't terribly busy on a Thursday at lunch. It has a north woods feel with a cute mural covering one wall. We started with totchos which were fine and a local tap beer. My husband got the wings, they were crispy and tasty, he was pleasantly surprised. There were only six wings in the order so the price at $16 was rather steep but expected being on the north shore. I ordered the turkey focaccia sandwich. It was so good! The bread was fresh and crispy and the turkey was thick cut turkey slabs with fresh sprouts and aioli. It was a big sandwich but I ate it all because it was wonderful. I upgraded to onion rings, they were average.

    This was the perfect spot to finish out a day full of hiking! The staff were kind and attentive and the food was delicious! The wings were perfectly cooked and meaty. I highly recommend getting the sandwich, it was delicious. When we walked in there was a couple eating pizza that also made us wonder if we should just come here twice in a row - they said it was really good too!

    The burgers were very good and the portions were great so the food was up to par. The service was good, the prices are a little bit higher than expected, but other than that it was great.

    We were seated and waited on for our drinks quickly. Gave us time to look at menu, salads were spectacular! Very clean busy place! Will definitely return

    After a long morning of hiking around we swung in here for lunch. Immediate thoughts: Super cute inside! Love the murals and big chalkboard! Plus, they have a great big window that looks over the lake! Service was friendly but maybe a bit slow. Food was so good -- I got the Philly and it was really great, but maybe a bit over priced. Beer was ice cold and delicious! My only real issue is the bathroom(s). The one I used was not child friendly AT ALL. I ended up having to lay down paper towels because the floor was sticky and gross then laid down my son's changing mat to then had to squat and change him on the floor..it was not ideal. We would come back here though and maybe sit on their cute little patio.

    Solid burger and pizza place on the North Shore. Hands down the best onion rings served in Northern Minnesota. If you think you can split a large pizza between two people here, think again. We had plenty for left overs. The burgers sizes are nothing to sneeze at either and come with a generous side of fries or onion rings or cheese curds. This ain't your run of the mill diner or fast food joint! Tldr: The folks here are friendly, the food is good, the portions are generous. Best onion rings.

    Restaurant inside closed due to covid. Call or place food orders online. We stopped bc the view looked great and pizza/burgers sounded good. Our order took about 20 min for 7 people. I got the pizza. My review is based off that. Others in the group got burgers and really liked them. They were really big and juicy and come with lots of fries/tots. I got the 16 inch tree hugger pizza (similar to a margarita). The pizza was not that great in my opinion. It reminded me of a pizza delivery type pizza. The cheese was really thick and spongy. The crust was okay, it was medium thickness and soft with a slight crunch. The overall flavor was a bit bland. They have several picnic tables outside to enjoy view. We did enjoy eating outside with all the wild flowers and the lake views. If I ever came back I would try a burger and would not get the pizza again!

There were lots of contenders I wanted to go for (eg the teriyaki barbecue mushroom Swiss burger!), but I ended up deciding on the Chuck Norris + I definitely wasn't disappointed!

(My memory is failing me a little and I should've written this review sooner, but I believe there was their house bbq, apple, and blackberry!) Might have been blueberry? It was delicious + we def ended up having leftovers for the next day. We got fried mushrooms and cheese curds to split too! The decor here is fun + if you're looking for something other than a burger, they do serve breakfast all day + also have salads and sandwiches too! Service was friendly and pretty quick!

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.

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.

We decided to visit after a light lunch for some additional snacks on an early Tuesday afternoon and this place was not busy at all. I think there was only a single other party inside other than us - this is definitely more of a dinner and evening establishment. Cheese Curds ($12) - An order comes with a small pile of perfectly battered and fried cheese curds. The batter kind of sticks multiple curds together into clusters, but the glue comes only from the batter, not from the cheese. None of them leak out or are gooey at all. Instead, the interior is warmed through and only melted a bit, allowing the firm texture of the cheese curd to come through. It's even slightly squeaky from how fresh they are. They have a good light crisp on the exterior and great overall texture. The curds come with a side dip that's sweet, fruity, and slightly smoky. I'm usually fan of a fruity or acidic side to balance out how fatty the fried cheese is, but I don't think this one requires the sauce at all. (4/5) Bread ($2) - This is essentially an extra order of bread for the Voyageur Picnic Board. Luckily we were able to order these as a side. And they were totally not worth it. An order includes 5 slices of a small baguette-style bread that's really dense and chewy. It's served cold and tastes completely like dough conditioner - think cheap grocery store-style bread. It honestly is so strong of a taste that I don't believe that it's homemade at all - and if it's homemade, it's one of the worst homemade breads I've ever eaten. It's clearly not meant to be eaten by itself. I can't help but think we were dumb to visit specifically for the bread. Considering this is not on the actual menu and we had to special order it, I'm going to pretend this doesn't exist and not include it in my final rating. (1/5) Again, we don't drink at all, so I can't comment on the quality of the beer served at Voyageur Brewing Company. I did quite like the cheese curds, so I'll be leaving this as a 4* review. Bathrooms - Two larger ones Note: Voyageur Brewing Company charges a 2.92% credit card fee. This is disclosed on their menu. Food: [4/5] Service: [ ] Other: [ ] Final Rating: 4/5
