Absolute 5 star experience here. We entered right at they opened at 11 on a Saturday. I told our sever 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. read more

The service here was spot on. Our server was extremely attentive and was not bothered at all when I kept asking for jalapenos. It was a bit chilly today, but those pickled jalapenos really helped. The seating was nice. It's great it was dog friendly, but I would recommend going on a warmer day, Iif you're bringing your furry friends. We had the bbq burger(added jalapenos) w/onion rings and poutine. I usually end up not liking the poutine at places, but will try it. Here, I actually really liked it, and will definitely get it again. The same for the onion rings, they were crispy and not too greasy. We also got the inhouse made root beer. That was quite good as well. read more

You know what shopping can be exhausting! at the Fitger's building. Located right on the bike path on Lake Superior this place offers a bit of nostalgia, scenic views, shopping, and eating and drinking. I can wax poetic about wandering around the building but, that can be for another time. The brewhouse is a cool place to hang after you've become weary of hitting all the shops on Canal street. Nestled in the old brewery you will experience first and foremost some solid beers (take some crowlers home with you), and some decent food. I think we at lunch here three times? I think one kind of gets tricked into eating here. One starts with a couple beers, then an appetizer, and the next thing you know, you're onto an entree without giving it a second thought. Honestly, I don't think I had anything or tasted anything that was bad. My favorites here are: 1. Poutine: fries, cheese curds, bacon and gravy? that is always a winner. 2. Elote Dip is super good. I'd fight somebody for the last scoop of the dip. 3. the Pretzels are good. Love the cheese sauce....I would ask for mustard too, but that is just me. 4. Pimento Cheeseburger is a favorite like the little bit of kick it offers with the Jalapenos, and it was made medium rare for me to boot I did try a bit of the Wild Rice burger. It was OK, non-meat options are not my gig for a burger. the person who ordered this, truly enjoyed it. I also want to mention the their beer is fresh, well-made, and there is usually a taproom only beer available. I have missed it the last few years but, they had a barleywine that was outstanding. I hope that comes back. If you're in Duluth it is totally worth the stop. Eat some food, drink some beers, buy some merch and support this local treasure. read more

First this place is connected to a hotel and also to several shops that are dog friendly. That was awesome because we had our dogs with us, they got treats , pets and attention. You can't go into this establishment with your dogs but they have seating outside where you can sit with your dogs. Our server was so A plus! Loved his energy and how friendly he was . We took his recommendations for their root beer, a definite need to try in my opinion. We go their poutine which was delicious! I got a Reuben which had generous amounts of meat. I didn't try this but my brother asked for the pickled jalapeños on the side . He and my bf said that was amazing. I think next time I come I want to try their wild rice Butger . read more

Eh... Was kind of excited to go here but I was disappointed. Food is average bar food and the place seems kinda divey with a bunch of stickers everywhere. It's definitely a Duluth staple but it's needs a facelift. read more

Deeply reluctant to post. I don't want to encourage tourists, front runners or Badgers. Fitger's is the most likeable song ever! [Google it and you'll most surely agree and don't call me Shirley.] The secret sauce for you staying in Canal Park [philistines]: reserve space for your crew online in advance and they shall accommodate. Then, break out of your Wall-E situation and walk [WALK!] along the lake walk to the Fitger's complex. Walk around, find the restrooms, buy stuff, indulge in the awesome Fitger's fare and then f*** off. Tourists, by nature, do not deserve the Fitger's experience. Not even if the World Cup was played at Jean Duluth. Now for the secret of Fitger's: wild rice burgers. I sh*t you not. Worth traveling from the most distance and isolated and oppressive places on the planet. Indulge, enjoy and then f**off. read more

The food, drinks and service was wonderful. We ordered the Bootlegger w/Bourbon, a beer, and for dinner: The three little pigs sandwich, and fish fry. The sandwich was vey tasty, but how could it not with pork carnitas, shaved ham and bacon. The place gets very busy so you might have to wait. When we finally got our table, our server was super nice and attentive. This was a recommendation from someone and I'm glad they did recommend Fitger's. read more

Service: We had a group of 15, and they kindly accommodated us in their upstairs room, which had plenty of seating for us. Service was prompt and friendly and accurate! Hard to do with a large party, which they did well. Ambience: it's dark and cozy inside, small, with tables and bar area as well . Food: we all either got burgers, fries, onion rings, or salads. Everyone seemed to enjoy their food overall. It's what you'd expect at a brewery, but we were impressed with the fresh salads available. Would definitely come back with a group again. read more

Ate at Fitger's for a late lunch while exploring Duluth. This brewpub is apart of the Fitger's complex which included several shops along the boardwalk and waterfront. The brewpub was casual and a bit of a greasy spoon diner type of feel- at least divey and rustic with dated and well worn interior in the historic building. Kitchen was semi open so food prep and grill were audible, apart of the aroma, and partially visible. I had some concerns with cleanliness. I opened my menu to find a spot of mystery sauce when first seated and then also noted my napkin wrapped silverware were also spotted with something. Beyond that, I noticed the floors were also sticky when going to the restroom. My partner and I ordered and shared the featured burger, a spicy pickle burger with onion rings ($19.48). Burger and accompanying condiments went well with pretzel bun- definitely was a decent albeit a bit pricey burger and onion rings. Service was friendly and relatively prompt. read more

Went for dinner here around 7pm and I was beyond disappointed. It was not busy and the waiter took twenty mins in between each visit to the table. When it comes to the food it was meh... The poutine wasn't bad, the pretzels were just pretzels... the salad had some of the weirdest dressing... overall it was pretty disappointing sadly. I won't be back. read more

Cool brewery in a historic building right along Lake Superior! The barrel room is very nice for a causal drink with friends. We ordered the Three Little Pigs sandwich and smoked fish wrap, both were really good. The wrap is pretty bland besides the smoked flavor. Wish it's got more to it. Our server was great and attentive. Overall, we enjoyed our dinner here. Pro-tip: walk out to the patio for some delicious ice cream! read more

Came in here with my fiancé on a Sunday for lunch & the place did not disappoint whatsoever. I got a sour beer that was amazing. Love the selection of beers with great names. I got the 3 Little Pigs Sandwich. Was going to get the Poutine Burger but they got me on the * next to this one. The meal did not disappoint whatsoever. The sandwich was piled high with meat & was absolutely delicious. Great interior feeling like you're at a dive bar but not too divey. Very Public market type feel too which is great on a cold day when you don't really want to walk outside. Only down side was that there are no TVs for watching football on Sunday inside this restaurant. The place with TVs was in the bar across the inside area. read more

While visiting Duluth we last minute wanted a place to get a quick bite to eat around 8pm. Many places had long waits, but luckily we were able to get a booth here right away. The place was full, which is always a good sign. Charming place, very nice on a chilly night. It's cozy. I got a chicken quesadilla which hit the spot after a long day, along with a couple beers. The server put on the Timberwolves game for us which was appreciated. I got mozzarella sticks & a couple THC drinks to go. I'll be back! Server was lovely, food was good. read more

I love the location and the hours. Of course, a lot of the food is fried/pub food, though I could have made better choices - it seems like they put a decent burger, if I recall. I went with the 3pc fish & the hubs with the 2 fish tacos. His was admittedly better, though they used the same fish. Now, it's important to note that the beer battered cod is on par with your 60pc frozen bag for $18 @ wholesale stores. This makes $15 seem excessive but, location and all. The pricing wasn't horrible but, again, not great... average. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great & I do wish I'd gone with a different option. Beer was tasty. read more

Great fig and Gouda burger, as well as the Elk burger. Fries reminded me of DQ battered fries but these were better, and they have the "good" ranch (buttermilk based, I'll die on that hill). Service was impeccable, bar and adjacent area were busy, don't plan on getting into deep conversation because it's a little hard to hear here. The NA Kölsch offering was delightful. read more

While staying at Endion Inn in Duluth, I received some free drink tickets for Fitger's Brewhouse or one of the other locations part of the restaurant group. I had a hankering for a great burger, so I visited Fitger's Brewhouse. I got to sit with one of the brewers and had a great conversation over a couple beers. For food, I went with their burger special, the PBJ Burger. I don't remember everything this burger had, but the theme was spicy. It had pepperjack cheese and pepper jam. It was delicious - enough said. For beers, I had two different ones. - Shades On: A Saison that had a nice pepper flavor, and nice dry finish. Floral hops envelope your nostrils as you take sip after sip. - Caramel Delight: Yes, I did it. A Golden Ale brewed to taste just like a Samoa with lots of Toasted Coconut, Cacao Nibs, Tahitian Vanilla, and Caramel. Not too sweet, but definitely reminiscent of the cookie. _____ read more

Randomly came across Fitgers while making a day trip to Duluth from Minneapolis. It was mid afternoon on a Sunday and the restaurant was fairly busy. The waitress was pleasant and helpful answering questions about items on the menu. I was able to sample the beer I was interested in. I drank the oatmeal stout, which was good enough to have if I came again, The variety on the menu was different from other pubs I have visited. It included smoked trout and elk. The food came out very quickly. I had a wild rice burger, which I enjoyed. The side I chose was the coleslaw and I thought it was excellent. My son ate a queso burger with very delicious onion rings on the side. Although I am not from the area, I would be happy to return and eat here again. read more

Always a top choice when we go out to eat. Delicious food and good service. Good ambiance as well. I get the California burger every time. Absolutely scrumptious. Always leaves me happy and full. The fries are great too. Servers are kind and attentive. 10/10 recommend read more

Would give 10\10 stars if I could! Amazing atmosphere, food and service. The menu had an amazing variety and it was hard to choose which burger to get. Started with delicious incredibly crisp cheese curds and landed on the spicy pickle burger and it did not disappoint! Perfectly cooked ground patty with a touch of pink, pepper jack cheese. Jalapeños, pickles and amazing cherry pepper relish on the house made pretzel bun. Flavor was outstanding with sweet and spicy. Our large party/hockey team was able to be sat and served immediately with INCREDIBLE service by Arianna and staff. Truly above any expectations especially with our party size. Very impressed with Arianna's ability to give us all exceptional service and every order correct with zero hiccups. House brewed THC drinks were absolutely delicious as well, had to get a 4 pack to go! This will be a must stop in Duluth every time! read more

I cannot stress enough how terrible the service is here. And the sub-par food was cold. Despite the fact that it was after dinnertime on a Saturday night and there were tons of staff everywhere. Our Server was very rude and everyone working was unprofessional. One app and three burgers with sodas took 1.5 hours. This place doesn't even have their own restrooms. 0/10 do not recommend and will not return. read more

Another great spot on my recent trip up to Duluth. We heard many locals suggest this place. The cheese curds were some of the best I've ever had. They are cubed and there is a lot of cheese inside. They weren't greasy either. The burger was a decent sized patty and the thick cut bacon really made the sandwich in my opinion. My friend tried the blue cheese wild rice burger and loved it. The restaurant itself is inside the mall to the left. Very easy to get to. The bartender was very easy to talk to and the food was served quickly and hot. I didn't take a picture of it, but I mixed an apricot beer with a spicy beer. Great balance and tasty brew combo. read more

Good place to go. Had some food and cocktails. Nice place. Good place in Duluth Would go back again.

Wow what a great local spot to stop at when visiting Duluth. There's a free parking lot and a pay per hour ramped parking lot next to the building making it super easy for new visitors like myself. Ambiance-wise this place really set the mood for MN. A causal setting with lots of seating and friendly service. I will say I did not expect this place to be in a mall so it was also fun to walk around after eating. Food Jerk pork wrap was delicious. Good amount of flavor along with their crispy fries. Bratwurst patty sandwich was also so good and juicy. I think next time I stop in I'll get their burgers here. read more

We recently were visiting from out of town, looking for a place to eat lunch and watch the beginning of the Viking's game. Went to the host at the Brewhouse and asked if they were serving lunch and had would be showing the game, he said yes, but I can't guarantee you can sit near a television! The place was about a quarter full, we said why? He replied he needed to be equitable with how he seated the tables and sections. We said okay and left! He was a complete jerk! Had been there before and had friendly service, hopefully the rest of the staff doesn't have that type of attitude. read more

The food is usually pretty good, but the servers are pretty inattentive and hard to get to come back to the table. The turkey sandwich with cranberries on it is very good as well as the wild rice burger. But they do need someone organizing seating. It seems kind of haphazard. No one really seems to take control. read more

The waitress was very polite and kind, this was about a year ago. Me and a guest went there.

One of my favorite spots to go in Duluth when I visit! Dim lit vibe and very friendly staff. Usually a wait for tables on weekends but bar seating is help yourself. Usually no complaints about the food but during my latest visit, my poutine burger was a bit charred and I think it could've used some more cheese curds and gravy. Tons of options though and I'll try something else on their long list of good menu choices! read more

We walked over to Fitgers for lunch. The server was very friendly and gave us some food recommendations which we went with. The beers were cold and delicious. It was a cool place to check out. read more

What a disappointment!! Food was below average and the service was average. Ordered cheese curds, the pretzel, fish tacos, kids fish meal and wild rice burger. The cheese curds and fish were fried in dirty fry oil, the pretzel was okay and the wild rice burger lacked seasoning. I ordered one THC seltzer and they charged me for 4. They also added a 5% service charge for the kitchen?!?! It's super lame to add a service charge for BOH employees, the restaurant should take the 5% from their profits and not the customer. It would be better to raise their menu prices instead of surprising the customer at the end of meal. I will not be back again, there are plenty of better options in town. If you go to this restaurant, make sure you check your itemized bill before paying. read more

Service was poor. Waited a half hour before the waiter brought us water. We were busy swatting away the many flies that made this eclectic restaurant their home. We ordered the jerk chicken quesadilla which was mostly tortilla and less chicken. The accompanying salsa was good, though. We chose this restaurant because of a craving for poutine. It was okay but I have had better. Some of the fries were burnt and there was too much gravy but less substance. Did not live up to my expectations. read more

Fun, casual, chill, and big. Lots of tables, lots of food options, very filling. It was the perfect stop after hiking all day and driving. My group and i all got different wild rice burgers. I got their pub style burger, which was super yummy. My two other group mates got the classic style wild rice burger. My pub style was very good, and whoever made my burger made a design on the bun out of the chipotle sauce (they drew an angry face, it was really good honestly). I loved that extra detail lol. The burger also came with fries that were the perfect salty snack after sweating all day while hiking. Always love going to Fitgers and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a casual eat in Duluth. read more

As our final lunch before heading back to the cities, we decided to try this spot for the first time. It was nice and quiet, but busy enough for a Monday. I couldn't pass up on the caramel delight ale once our waitress mentioned it and I'm glad I didn't. It's one of the best ales with caramel notes that I've ever tried! For my meal I ordered a mildly spicy special roasted red bell pepper bisque with a delicious smoked lake trout wrap and addicting dressing for slathering on n dipping. Highly recommend and would go again. read more

Great bartender Sherri. Sue makes awesome lemon drop martini and Negroni. Will be back for just for drinks with Sherri.

Stopped here for dinner, during our high point trip to Eagle Mountain. Right on Lake Superior; although we were there at night in November. Part of a hotel / shopping experience. Typical brew-house experience. We started with bloody mary's; they were good and spicy. They came with an 8oz beer backer; which I haven't experienced with other bloody marys. I had the local wheat beer which was pretty good. We paired these with a plate of poutine, and a plate of nachos. Both were quite large; although neither was all that impressive from a taste perspective. For dinner we split a wild rice burger; we had never heard of this before, but had passed by quite a few 'wild rice lakes' on the way in, and many gas stations/other stores were selling wild rice by the pound. Never knew it was something MN was famous for. The burger was very good; we had it pub style, with swiss cheese and sauteed mushrooms and onions. Staff was friendly, and quick. If in Duluth again might take a look at staying in the hotel (we had Maisie our dog with us so hotel options were limited) and stopping back in for a beer. Worth a visit for the wild rice burger for sure! read more
