After backpacking an ungodly number of miles, my friends and I were ready to CHOW! This place pulled through and was awesome for a variety of reasons: 1. The pizza was delicious and they had lots of fun options. 2. They also sell custard which was AMAZING!! Highly recommend trying their mixed berry sundae! Tasted like they use fresh berries. 3. The location is gorgeous! Right on the water. You can easily bring your pizza and sit on the beach behind the restaurant. 4. The staff were awesome, extremely sweet and very efficient! Some important things to note: 1. There was no indoor seating so come when it's nice or take it to go! 2. The place is under construction so there is also limited outdoor seating but we managed to find a spot (and sitting on the beach would be just fine imo)! 3. Pizzas are a bit spendy but taste very fresh so I say worth it. 4. Google maps says this place is temporarily closed but when you go in person they are open!

This place was the epitome of Grand Marais' vibe and was a very fun place to come with my family…read morewhen we were on vacation up North. The best thing about this place was most definitely the old times decorations that made it such an unforgettable vibe. I would come here for the decor alone! We all had some tap beers, which they had only a small variety of, but I was still content with my beer especially because it was local. Their prices were pretty average for the area, and they had an all you can eat walleye special that they were pushing but would've been not worth it because you never could really eat more than what the regular serving of walleye was, which is what my dad got and didn't finish. I had the wild rice sandwich which was really just like a wild rice veggie burger which I definitely enjoyed but I didn't think was anything too special and was sort of misrepresented on the menu. They had a variety of sides to pick from for your meal and both the sweet potato fries and regular fries were delicious. The server we had was prompt, friendly, and helpful with the menu, and we were definitely satisfied by the service. Overall, this is a cool Northern MN local vibe restaurant to check out, but none of us thought the food was crazy special.

4.5/5 We ordered on…read moreUberEats after hearing many great things about this place. In terms of burgers, we ordered a Signature burger and a Stack It Up burger. The Stack It Up burger was much larger (in height and diameter), for a couple of dollars extra, I'd say it's worth going for it over the Signature. The beef patties were juicy and well-seasoned. Considering a Big Mac is $6+, a Stack It Up burger is for sure worth it at $8.50. Now, regarding the large poutine we ordered. This was such a pleasant surprise. It was HUGE and they gave us such a generous heaping of cheese curds and gravy. It definitely satisfied my poutine craving. As for the onion rings, they were pretty standard. Nothing spectacular, and a bit pricey. Overall, for the fact that I have high standards for burgers, I was pretty impressed. I'd come here again and would recommend checking this place out if you're looking for a good burger spot in Thunder Bay.

The poutine doesn't have real cheese curds, so take that how you will. The gravy is thick and on the saltier side, and the fries are thick-cut. The Mother Clucker is pretty big -- larger than most fast food chicken sandwiches in town. It's better bang for your buck than the hamburger, in my opinion. I would order it again.

Walked in around 7pm and were promptly greeted and asked if we wanted to sit at the bar or dining room. We chose the dining room so we walked down the narrow wooden floor hallway to a back area where their dining area was. The table already had drink menus on it which makes sense as reviews say this restaurant is great for cocktails and they have a huge selection of wines. Our server soon brought over water for us and food menus. She asked if either of us had any food allergies, which we didn't. Also explained which section was appetizers/shareable plates and which were mains. Also mentioned that the menu is seasonal and everything on it currently is so good. After giving us some time to choose, she took our order. We ordered one shareable, Tuna Crudo. It was well balanced being sweet, sour, creamy, fresh, and with a tiny little kick. It made it evident that the mains would be really tasty as well. Server came back to not only take away the empty plate, but also swapped out our small plates and cutlery for new ones. Both of our mains arrived at the same time, descriptions of what ingredients were in each. Portion size was definitely fair (not too little and not huge) so we left satisfied and full, but not stuffed. Only regret was that we were only a party of 2, otherwise would have loved to order their Family Style Tasting (the table next to us had it and everything looked delicious). In terms of ambience, seating is cozy, as there isn't a whole lot of space between tables, but it's workable. As well, the lighting is pretty dim for our preference, but can understand why others might enjoy it. We walked over from our hotel, but looks like there is street parking in the area. Overall, had a very pleasant dining experience and service and hospitality was top-notch.
