    A fun, family friendly stop for breakfast, lunch or dinner! The staff is friendly and is helpful with menu tips and in quick service! We brought my sister's two small children along with us and the staff was great with the kids, too! The food was hot and delicious. I also enjoy the many drink options available through the fountain beverage machine! This Perkins has been a staple in West Duluth for years and shows some of its years of love, but still remains a solid option for some good eats and delicious pie!

    Omelet menu photo vs. actual presentation of omelet.  The actual omelet was the smallest I have ever seen at a Perkins.

    The parking lot is currently in horrible shape. Not sure if they plow it or not, but it feels like driving through a boulder field with potholes. We ordered a few minutes after arriving and waited over an hour for our food to come to the table. The wait to eat was quite a bit longer than we expected, which was very surprising considering there were several people working and not very many people dining in the restaurant. We were all very hungry and looking forward to enjoying some tasty and filling breakfast food. Unfortunately, when the food arrived, it didn't look nearly as appetizing as it did in the photos on the menu. I might have to say that the presentation was about as far from the menu photos as I have ever seen at a restaurant. I will post some photos. I wish I had set something next to the omelet to show the scale... but it was the tiniest omelet I have ever seen at a Perkins.

    This Perkins is much gooder than the one we, RADDA RADDA, had yesterday in Eau Claire. It ain't no Duluth Grill, but MAN oh MAN is Brenda (been here 20 years!) a riot. Such a fun server. Makin' ya feel right at home. Surf's up!

    Ordered the raging Cajun and it was a disappointment.. Barely has any sauce and tasted very plain.

    Ordered a ragin Cajun and when I went to pick it up it looks really plain. There was rarely any sauce on it. It also tasted plain. I've made quick homemade pasta with little experience that tasted better than this. It was pretty disappointing.

    Will make you go to the Doordash pickup area to get your order even if you are right in front of them. A little rude, tbh. ​

The Details: For those of you who know me, you know I take a Bar B Que review seriously. So here goes! The Service was outstanding! Admittedly, people are nice in Duluth, but Sarah F went above and beyond. We should have been a terrible table for her... two dudes, a little girl, and a dog. However, she was gracious and patient, right from the start. When we treated her well and started talking BBQ, she brought out the team. Thank you to the front manager Sam who chatted us up. A special thank you to pitmaster Josh and Sean who rolled up their sleeves and talked Turkey.... Literally!!! The ambiance is perfect! Shaded outdoor space during the day was a huge plus! It was perfect! On to the food.... This is a traditional Southern Pride propane/wood smoked BBQ. I am personally not a fan of these smokers, but OMC did well. I found the St louis ribs to be the best cook of them all, with perfect tenderness. The brisket has solid seasoning with plenty pepper. The poblano corn was a fun side! Overall, a great little find in Duluth.

    My son and I were visiting Duluth this past weekend and had breakfast at Duluth Grill, Sunday,…read more5/31. We had checked reviews and saw there were some reviews indicating this restaurant was not as good as it used to be. We decided to see for ourselves as the menu, other positive reviews sounded like it was an incredibly good place to go. It is. It was. It was busy, being a Sunday morning especially, but the staff was handling it all well from our perspective . I used to manage restaurants a long time ago and was impressed with the flow. Our waitress, Natalie, was delightful, knew the menu well to describe and answer questions, and we were not wanting for anything. She checked on us, always grinning and managing the iace well. I had the banana bread pancakes. A perfect choice ! They came and looked like a picture stacked up and flowing down with Carmel, maple bourbon syrup, marzcapone cream and nuts. So delicious. I took half home and enjoyed the rest later. Heated up perfectly with a 20 second zap in micro. My son had the corn beef hash skillet and said his was just as good as mine. We both agreed that we had no idea why reviews were negative, especially going on a busy morning. We will be going back every time we visit. I recommend you do too.

Today I went for the Blueberry Yum Yum which is a chicken sandwich with blueberry compote and jalapenos. They make their own compote and are almost out so hurry while you can to try this item.

Cynthia S. did a great job serving us today.

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.

Located right on the bike path…read moreon 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.

Sent it back. The second steak? Also overcooked. Then came the moment that sealed it: The chef marched to our table with a photo of a steak on his phone, insisting maybe the "lighting" made it look overcooked. Meanwhile, my steak -- in the exact same lighting -- was perfectly medium‑rare. The entire dining room stopped to watch this arrogant performance. It was humiliating and completely uncalled for. The third attempt showed up in a to‑go box, and when my friend opened it at home, it was practically raw (see attached picture). Spite from the chef? Three failed steaks, zero accountability, and a public lecture from the chef. After two decades of choosing this restaurant for special occasions, we're done.

They sat us all quickly and efficiently, food was fast and the service was great. The cheese curds are like crunchy cubes of heaven served with a side of ranch.

The cheese was perfectly melty, and the sandwich itself wasn't overly sauced or greasy. My partner had a burger and it was cooked just as he ordered and well seasoned - he enjoyed it!
