Neatly decorated dive bar style interior with vintage signs and license plates. The staff were friendly, and the customers seemed to mostly be locals. The food was delicious! I tried poutine for the first time and was impressed. It was a large serving. I would get it again if I was there. The burger was also pretty good. It wasn't life changing, but I wasn't disappointed. Maybe I'll try a different style next time. If I was in the area, I'd come back. If anyone was in the area looking for a burger or a good pizza I'd send them there. read more

$$$ but worth the price. I had the Cran-Nutty Salad with chicken and it was delicious. And a generous portion. The wild raspberry vinaigrette and whatever the blue cheese crumbles they use (mild and creamy) really elevated the salad. Ten out of ten. The service from Gabriel, a student here in Grand Marais for the summer, was excellent. read more

Fantastic all around. Great service, super tasty food, casual and cozy ambiance. Completely worth the stop. read more

Great place to stop and have a good meal! Unique decor, friendly service and good food! I had the meaty calzone and it was delicious!

Good food, good service, and a large enough place to accommodate crowds. A bit out of the but worth the drive.

This place was the epitome of Grand Marais' vibe and was a very fun place to come with my family when 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. read more

Rustic, North Shore vibe to this place. Our server was very friendly, and our drinks and food were delivered promptly. However, we had to send someone to find him so we could get our bill (a little disappointing). Beer was cold, and my burger was good. Everyone else at the table also seemed fine with their meal, though nothing was spectacular. Certainly, an acceptable place to get a good meal in Grand Marais, but nothing special. read more

This place has a bit of a neighborhood sports bar vibe, which I appreciate. Friendly service and was seated immediately. I got a bison burger with sweet potato fries. The dish came out extremely hot so it definitely got delivered the minute it was ready! However, $22 seemed a bit steep. I also got a piece of French silk pie to go ($9). It was a small piece and not worth the price - just my opinion. All that being said, the service and the food would bring me back if I'm in the area! read more

Solid bar food and a great patio. The fried fish dinner was fantastic. There aren't a ton of options up here and this was a very filling and tasy meal. I'd come back. The service was decent. The home made tartar sauce was great. read more

We went to eat here while skiing at Lutsen. It was absolutely freezing inside and we were wearing our thermals and still cold. Two of us ordered the Juicy Lucy well done and while the cheese/onion stuffing was amazing, the burger itself managed to be both undercook and dry at the same time. I would recommend you stop at Cascade Restaurant instead, we've never been disappointed there. read more

We were traveling north to visit friends and stayed in Grand Marais over night. We thought we'd get a bite to eat and went to My sisters place to do that. We ordered the chicken strips dish to split. (it came w four small strips) and up graded to have onion rings with it. The bill came to 20 dollars plus tip. (for ONE chicken strip dinner) The chicken strips were not fresh; they were the kind you drag out of the freezer and fry. They were dry and hard like they had been in the freezer for years before being fried. You could hardly cut through them and chewing them was near impossible. The onion rings (if you could call them that) were these greasy little skinny things, hardly any onion actually in them, batter was sparse, it was just a small pile of greasy onion scraps. So greasy it had already saturated the paper under the meal. The coleslaw that came with it was warm, and had a rancid flavor. Like it had been stored so long it was going bad. What a waste of money! You get ripped off up there are pretty much any restaurant you go to. I guess they feel they can rip off the customers because they have a pretty tourist town. There is on good place to go. Its called "south of the border". Its only open for breakfast and lunch but you will never be disappointed there. Their prices are fair for what you get. But don't waste your money at my sisters place. read more

Kind staff and cool space. I got the goober burger and it was pretty good; I like how there's a lot of peanut butter on it. The bacon cheeseburger and chicken sandwich was alright. The margarita pizza was also pretty good. Overall, pretty good stop if you're going through Grand Marais. read more

So we went to have lunch we ordered a pizza and we ordered the poutine. I will say from Chicago pizza is pretty good. Definitely would have it again sauce is like had a familiar taste, but couldn't put my finger on it. Sausage was great. We got the double crust so they cut it into a pie shape for us, very good. Three of us did have leftovers. There's about three or four pieces left over. We did share the poutine that was really good. I will say I thought they're supposed to use cheese curd and it was more like shredded kind of cheese on there but it'll taste good. This was expecting a cheese curd service was super super nice and attentive to our needs and the restaurant had a nice set up lots of fun things to look at while you're waiting for your food and by the way did not take long at all. It was super fast. read more

We've always loved it here and our pizza was good. I just have to mention a couple things... We ordered a large pizza and 1 Mountain Dew and it was $51! This included tip but we just thought it was a bit much. Also when my husband asked about refills on his pop she said "yes we give refills if you're the only one drinking it" She never came back to our table to give him a refill so my husband had to go to the bar for his own! I thought it was rude to assume grown adults would try to rip them off. Not the greatest customer service. It was just weird. I'm sure we'll be back but it was just kind of a strange experience. read more

The ambiance was awesome, old decor and cabin lodge feel. They had a good selection of draft beer but no lagers besides coors and the rest were craft beer, so that was disappointing but I got the Alaskan lager and that was great! The burgers were decent, but over cooker and the patty melt was not a patty melt. The wild rice sandwich didn't specify it was a patty, but was ok. The walleye sandwich was a HUGE serving and very good! If you come, get the fish, the rest is just ok. Server was very nice! read more

My Sister's Place was busy for dinner, yet the service was very good. Food was okay. I was hoping for more healthier options, which were limited; in my opinion. We ate in the bar area. The entire restaurant was family oriented and well laid out. As busy as this restaurant was during our visit, it's definitely a popular place. read more

Juiciest bison burger I've ever had! Cooked beautifully to a medium well with just a hint of pink. I got mine with grilled onions and cole slaw on the side to balance the richness of the burger. It was delicious. My husband had the Reuben sandwich with fries. He said the sauerkraut was nice and mild and the sandwich hit the spot. The fries must be good too because he ate every last one. If you are driving up north this is a great lunch spot. read more

My Sister's Place - Bison burger with grilled onions and mayo along with cole slaw. - American Near Me - Grand Marais, Minnesota

Food wasn't worth the price, not great. Also, service was so slow that myself and the surrounding tables weren't sure if we were supposed to pay up front or not. Just no server in sight. When she did come around she took an order and left and never came back... 20 minutes waiting for my check. Not cool when people are typically in town for limited time. Finally we all just went up front. Not sure if that's what we are supposed to do still or not since there wasn't this communication and no checking on tables. read more

Food was freshly prepared and from scratch. Service was top notch and very friendly. Atmosphere was cozy and quaint. Hubby had stuffed burger which he said was so amazing and I had a BLT and the amount of bacon in my sandwich was quite generous and oh soooo tasty!! We both had the Thai chicken rice soup and the flavours were incredible!! Will return 100 percent!! Highly recommend!! read more

Goober burger and onion rings for the win! We stopped in here on New Year's Eve for a little dinner out. Things were bustling even at 5pm but we were able to get seated right away. The beer menu features all your mn classic favorites. We chose a castle danger cream ale and a surly furious. The menu is big with lots of options for everyone. I went with my favorite goober burger overflowing with peanut butter and mayo and a side of onion rings. Both were excellent and my partners Jucy Lucy filled with cheese and grilled onions was big and tasty. This is a classic stop for us in Grand Marais and a place we keep coming back to! read more

So we find ourselves at the Sisters place once again a year ish later Wife and I went with a medium meat lovers pizza ( all good there! ) Kid one tags along on the pizza and Poutine appetizer which was very good Kid two the fit gymnast girl got in the Poutine and for her main course was the creamy wild rice soup ( definitely passed her liking and she can be quite the food critic) Kid three had the crispy chicken sandwich and fries ( can't really screw up the chicken sandwich unless your like OBT in Osage and send out a BLT sandwich for some reason when ya order a chicken sandwich! P.S. on that note OBT you had her in tears that night cause she just wanted a chicken dam Sandwich! All in all the waitress was awesome and friendly ( congrats on the new kid to come early July! ) The outside seating was great and clean and relaxing, even a friendly chipmunk passing by I'd stop again no problem read more

Let me start with saying, I absolutely hate the fish taste. None of that however you will find in their walleye sandwich, which, literally fell apart in your hands and melted in your mouth. Just absolutely amazing. Also the onion rings, as she put it, they bang. Maybe the best onion ring I've ever had. The bad: the jalapeño burger, outside of the spice was, mediocre. The poutine grew on me, but also mediocre. The good: awesome setting, very friendly, responsive staff. The fish that we had was absolutely top notch. Having castle danger on tap is definitely refreshing. Next time we're in Grand Marias we will be back for sure. Most importantly, why it doesn't have 5 stars. When I left, after tip, I didn't feel like I had just eaten/drank a 90 dollar meal. But, the deep frying was so good that it's hard not to retu read more

Some friends and I had finished a four day canoeing trip in the boundary waters, and we wanted a big meal as we had been eating camp food for days. No one in our group was from the area, so we went online to look for a place to eat nearby. There was a local spot called My Sister's Place; the reviews looked good, and we were just excited to eat food prepared in a kitchen, so we decided to go there. The restaurant was very spacious. The interior was cozy and had a very homey vibe to it, and there was lots of outdoor seating as well. The weather was nice so we decided to sit outside. Our server came out to us soon after we were seated, and she was quick to bring us water and check if we wanted any appetizers which was nice. I was interested in having a fish dish but I wasn't familiar with the different kinds, and the server helped me figure out what I'd like which I greatly appreciated. She checked on us regularly which was good, and the appetizers didn't take too long to come out. We were definitely glad to have some food come quickly since we were starving after canoeing earlier that day. I'd never had poutine before but I liked it, and the tots were very standard. The food took a while to come out, but thankfully we had appetizers so we were fine waiting. And the wait was definitely worth it. I hadn't had fish at a restaurant in a long time, and I was entirely pleased by what I ordered. I got the whitefish dinner, which came with fries, soup, and coleslaw, and after a few bites of the fish I was in love. The fish was fried, and I'm not the biggest fan of fried food because of how greasy it can taste and feel, but I had no such complaints about this meal. There wasn't too much breading so almost all of the food was the fish itself, and despite being fried it wasn't coated in oil like some fried food can be. The fish was soft, delicious, and the perfect temperature, and it was nice to have multiple sides to switch between as I ate the fish. I'm a big fan of My Sister's Place; the service was great, the interior and the outdoor seating were both nice, and the food was delicious. I don't know if or when I'll be back in the area, but if I ever am I'll definitely want to come back and try something else. Whether you're passing through or staying nearby, I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone in the area. read more

Wonderful service, helpful and shared lots of fun places we should see and do! Lovely patio outdoor seating and the food was super tasty! I tried the lemon arugula pizza and we all enjoyed a chocolate shake! Chili Dog was huge and so tasty! read more

Best food on hwy 61, especially post long drive and beautiful hike. Highly recommend the Gouda burger and calzone!!

One of our favorite places to go in town. The food is really greasy at least what we like but hey you get that with deep-fried food =) We love the mushroom app - it's like 2 pounds of huge portabella slices fried in a nice batter and served with a special sauce. Also not to miss is the hot dog covered in wild rice and lots and lots of cheese. Really I like everything I have had here. Family-friendly and great art all over. They have photos and sleds and all sorts of history from the area all over the walls. This is a place not to miss when looking to eat in Grand Marais. read more

Wasn't really all that impressed. Seemed a little pricey to start then an up charge to use credit. Burgers were just so-so, overcooked and dry. Don't think we will stop here in the future. I don't mind paying more for good food, it just wasn't that good. read more

My Sister's Place seems like a popular dining spot based on how packed this place was on a Saturday evening. They have a nice area outside with some backyard games (cornhole and hook & ring toss) for parties waiting to get seated. We ordered onion rings as an appetizer and the whitefish dinner and honer's hottie burger as our entrees. I can see why they say the onion rings are killer; these are sliced very thinly to really bring out the crispy batter and were my favorite part of our meal. The whitefish dinner was also pretty good. The whitefish was fresh, the tartar sauce was a nice combination of savory and tangy, and the sweet potato fries were perfectly seasoned and crispy. I wasn't a fan of the burger though. We asked them to cook it medium rare but the center was completely raw and cold. I wasn't willing to eat the burger raw, but it tasted pretty good when I reheated it the next day. The fries were also disappointing - soft and bland. Overall, our meal was good and decently priced. Be aware of how busy they get though - it took a long time for our food to arrive. I think the restaurant might also be understaffed. Although we had a friendly waitress, it seemed like she was running back and forth constantly the whole time we were there (without break!), and I had a hard time flagging her both during and at the end of dinner. read more

We ordered two walleye sandwiches from My Sister's Place, one with sweet potato fries and one with onion rings. Both of these meals are HUGE, the walleye fillet is about 6 inches long, and there must have been a 1/2 pound of fries with each of them. While they were definitely not the best walleye sandwiches we've ever had, they were pretty good considering it's the middle of winter and there's very little fresh fish right now. The online ordering system is super easy, and our orders were ready within 15 minutes. If you are in GM in the winter, definitely consider this place for walleye. read more

Excellent food, drinks and atmosphere! We stopped here after a day of search for moose unsuccessfully up the Gunflint and were hungry and parched! My Sister's Place did not disappoint! We ordered the Fried Cheesy Pickles and the Shrooms - both were soooo goood!!! I ordered the North Shore burger with sautéed mushrooms and it was amazing. My fiancé had the pizza which was also delish. Our friends had the cheeseburger and Goober Burge and we all had ZERO complaints! Can't wait to stop back next time! read more

My Sister's Place - Shrooms! - American Near Me - Grand Marais, Minnesota

Me and my friends found this cute little joint, and we were excited to dine there. Only to find out that this was horrible experience. To start with we ordered AN appetizer, we then received TWO apps, one being the fried pickles which we ordered and the other being the shrooms which we had spoken about and the server had heard, which prompted him to order them for us, which we did NOT. We then order our main courses, which were fine, but the pizza was very greasy and soggy and very difficult to eat. To add no sliver ware or napkins were put on the table when we arrived . Then came the check, which was already inflated due to the shrooms which we did not order, and the ridiculous auto gratuity which was put on our check for a 3 person group. If you put auto gratuity on a check, please Inform the customers. Would not recommend!! read more

This place was extremely busy and was hit with being understaffed. We went at 5pm, so that probably only added to m. That Seating: We got here a little after five, and had a 20 minute wait, when we were told 10. The servers were nice but could tell they were overwhelmed or just confused on the tables. Think we waited a little over twenty. When we sat down, I'm pretty sure they don't have anyone bussing tables. The wait for drink refills was pretty long. But our server was super busy, understandable. And the menu on their website lists very different prices then the current menu. That threw us off and changed some plans. Parking: This parking lot is a MESS, there aren't painted lines so most people just park along the restaurant. But it's attached to the same lot as a grocery store. So lord of spots there. But not many close/upfront if you have issues with mobility. Food: Fried Cheesy Pickles, I'd rate a 5/10, fiancé rates a 8.5/10. He thinks it's a great idea. And he liked the spicy sauce. I was kinda meh. The wait for the actual food was pretty long, thankfully we had drinks so we weren't empty. Poutine, 8/10, this was our second time having poutine. This one was pretty good. Beats out the last one by far. Only none of the ingredients tasted homemade or fresh. Which doesn't bother me that much. Chili, 6/10, very average. Taste didn't warrant the price. Bison bacon burger, 8.5/10 for taste. But 6.5/10 for value. The burger starts at 16. Bison brings it to 17.50. Then the sweet potato fries was a 1.75 upgrade. And 175 to add veggies to the burger... very expensive. Thankfully the burger was done to my liking. Well done. I didn't specify that, so burgers are probably done to that temp automatically. Sweet potato fries 10/10. These were super good. Crispy but fat. This place was pretty good all in all, it was priced at the typical tourist pricing. A bit higher than your normal hometown place. But the food was good. Service was good, though you can tell they were short staffed and there was a wait. This is a safe bet for good food, if you can wait/go at the right time. read more
