    Walleye and fries!
    Jeff H.

    When you find yourself in Duelm, MN very likely you're lost, or you meant to be there to nick some of the local corn growing everywhere, or more than likely it's because you wanted to the there. In as much as I can tell the latter is the only reason to be in this town. To be fair, I'd never had Walleye. Ever. Suffice to say, I'm convinced this is how it was supposed to be be prepared and surely what God had in mind when He created the fish in the first place. It was fried to expert perfection and paired with fries that were far from ordinary. Just for grins I'd also ordered some ala carte jumbo shrimp, and WOW--I didn't think I could have anything that good so far from an ocean. Are there shrimp in any of their 10,000 lakes?? Who cares as long as they're as good as what I had. Nice and attentive service in the type of place I remember eating out with my grandparents when it was an actual treat. Sadly, this is the type of family owned place cherished by the locals but missing from society. They used to be everywhere and in every state. For now, you just have to trust me and find yourself in Duelm. What a treat!

    Great Salad Bar
    N M.

    Was in town for a wedding and wanted to dine where some of the locals did. Well, probably wasn't the best idea. Didn't want to drive too far into town so we stopped here. We sat at the bar and the short blond female bartender gave us all the looks. Now I'm not sure if that's because she hasn't traveled outside of Duelm where the population is at best 1,150. But unless you look like; Emma Stone, Morgan Wallen, Tilda Swinton or Neal McDonough, don't expect that kind sort of service. Traveling internationally and being all through the states, sometimes dining at little mom and pops restaurants can be so rewarding. We love supporting local and bringing our ones to small places. Unfortunately not the case here. Things to stick out positively was the salad bar is LEGIT! Lots of sections, two barrels of hot soup and it was clean. My wife and I ordered beers. The bartender had the WORST customer service. Her attitude and unwillingness to be kind was so off putting we almost left. But we stomached her horrible service. She said our dinners were supposed to come with rolls. We saw her walk to the kitchen but came back and said, "They ran out." Really? We understood there aren't many customers with gorgeous sugar brown skin that come through these doors. So as her tip was vastly dwindling, my walleye came out. It was ok. As being In Minnesota for my first time and trying the fish for the first time it all sat wrong. Not only were the people here rude, cold and acted as if they've never seen outsiders before, it wasn't a pleasant dining experience. And trust my wife and I were dressed very nicely with great jackets! So like I said, if you prefer being stared at and receiving worst service than at your churches Sunday spaghetti dinner, take your money and go somewhere else.

    Ribeye?? Sandwich

    Service was good. Food and ambiance were disappointing. Country music so loud we couldn't hear each other or have a conversation, this was at 5:30 pm. I noticed other tables, especially older people, who were not conversing since it was hard to communicate. I ordered the ribeye sandwich, which was one of my favorite meals in the past. I received some weird hunk of grisly, inconsistent thickness, potential beef on burnt wonder bread. Not even edible. Cheeseburger for my grandson was black on the outside and so well done it was gray all the way through . The ones who had prime rib enjoyed it. I was comped for the inedible ribeye, but it was too late to order anything else. I understand food can be unpredictable, but the volume of the country music will have me exploring other options for a special family dinner for a group our size (9).

    Fish and onion rings
    Laura O.

    Ate here tonight for the first time, It was crazy busy place. They have a salad bar you can order just soup and salad for $13.00 or add the salad bar to any entry for $3.99. My brother and sister in law had this and said all the dressings were home made and very delicious. I had the fish sandwich and upgraded to some delicious bubbly onion rings for only $1.50 more. Fish was good but ended up a little too much deep fried for me, my partner had a burger that was so juicy and delicious and the buns were very fresh and smooshy (my word) The wait for the food was quite awhile but they were busy and our waitress was great.

    Ouch!

It's home to the beautiful, calm, and peaceful Sauk River. Geese, ducks, ducklings, and a garden to enjoy the view of the river. Inside, there's a warm, welcoming, and hospitable atmosphere. Jaclin is very friendly and professional. The family had a great time, and the geese were happy since we gave them some snacks. Among other things, as a chef, I recommend the Spam skewers--yes, Spam--and the BBQ ribs, which are fantastic. Good selection of drinks, and behind the bar, very skilled hands. Until next time...

When I asked that they at least discount it our waitress said she asked and could not even though it was not eaten. I asked if her manager knew this, she said yes and walked away. As I waitress myself I would have never handled it like that. Bad business on the managers part. I did not make a big deal out of it but simply stated the fact we literally could not eat it. Really too bad! I also suggested they clean the cobwebs off the salt and pepper shaker holder and dust a bit. Let's just say we were able to write our names on the booths back wall in the dust.

The brisket especially was very delicious. We got a chance to have a conversation with the owner and you can tell that they are very hard working and passionate about their restaurant.

We ordered 2 pounds of brisket at nearly $60 in just brisket. When we got home and opened it, the meat was gray, tasted off, very old and was covered in coarse black pepper. It was so excessive that it completely overpowered the flavor. I was ticked. I took pictures of exactly what we received and ultimately threw it away. We also ordered the $12 Brussels sprouts. The container was tiny (see photo) with a very small portion, and the sprouts were extremely mushy--definitely not deep fried. I emailed Up in Smoke about our experience and included pictures of the brisket, but received no response. $100+ for dinner, an almost hour-long wait, listening to the employee complain endlessly about staffing issues and being so busy. Most of it ended up being food we were scared to eat. Extremely disappointing experience. Buyer beware. OWNER STILL HAS NOT RESPONDED!!! (2WEEKS LATER)
