    I saw this place on the local news. Known for their burgers and fish fry on Friday, right up my alley! It had been on my radar and when we 'staycayed' in Duluth, I was looking forward to checking it out. It is at the top of Duluth, far from all things touristy. This is a place where the locals go! When we arrived I noticed the old beer endorsing sign and the restaurant looks like it was converted from a house. We nabbed a table right away. I'm glad we got there when we did because this small restaurant started to fill up and there was a wait not long after we arrived. I knew right away that I wanted the fish fry and my kids ordered burgers. They had a good local beer selection, too. Everyone walked away with a clean plate. It was a good experience and I felt like we discovered a gem. It was far from Grandma's and that was a good thing. When I'm traveling I love finding local joints.

    I feel bad rating this place. To start off it is super clean and nicely decorated. We loved it walking in. Staff was super pleasant and helpful. Menu was great! We ordered onion rings for an app, I ordered the burger with Boursin cheese on it and husband ordered the fried cod. It took awhile but our burger and fish came out. I was confused as to why the onion rings didn't come out and the waitress said the staff forgot to make them. I asked if we could just cancel them as we already had our main meal. She said they were already being made so we couldn't. That is fine, but then comp them. It isn't our fault your staff didn't make them. Burger wasn't really impressive at all. I opened it and they forgot the cheese. I gave up and just seasoned it with salt and pepper as it seemed really really bland. Again, the waitress apologized for the kitchen staff. Husbands fish was kinda funny. We shop Costco and often get the beer battered cod in the freezer section.....that is exactly what came out! I cracked up. It's a little place, of course they are going to buy it frozen..but it was still funny. He tried to act like he wasn't disappointed, but you could totally tell he was. Would I recommend this place given our visit? No. Other people seem to really love it, so maybe we just hit it on a bad Saturday. Who knows. My rating is for my visit of course.

    Discovered this establishment on a Man vs Food episode so had to try while I was in town. The bar/restaurant is bright and clean. The bartender recommended a couple items and we were very impressed. I had the mushroom Swiss juicy Lucy with fries and my partner had the catfish filets. The juicy lucy was so amazing!!! I will definitely be back!!!!

    Same expensive burger as most places in town. Nothing fancy or memorable. Just not worth the price for a mediocre burger

    Nothing negative about the place itself really but it can definitely get busy and not be the most relaxing environment

The service is great (a bit busy but that speaks to the quality). It's a cute little shop under the building and feels cozy.

    Northern Waters Smokehaus is one of the most recommended restaurants in Duluth. Located…read moreconveniently in the center of Canal Park, we stopped by on a sunny Wednesday early afternoon, hoping to score some of the best sandwiches in town. Even though this was well past lunch time at 2PM, the outside patio was packed and there was a line of 10 people or so to contend with to order at the register. Due to how busy it was, our food took about 20 minutes to arrive. The Squealy Dan, Porketta ($16) - Unlike most other restaurants with Iron Range Porketta, Northern Waters slices their porketta thinly instead of pulling the pork apart. It has a pleasant spiced flavor and the texture feels as if it's cured rather than roasted. It's relatively tender, and while they give a decent amount of meat, it's completely overshadowed by the heavy spicy quality of the black pepper and the acidity and vegetalness of the crunchy pepperoncini. There's a bit of melted gooey provolone on top of the porketta. While nice, there's not enough to balance out the peppers. This is all on a crusty almost baguette-like hero roll, toasty and warm. The sandwich is served with a side dip that's essentially black pepper and pepperoncini water. Definitely not needed given how overwhelming those elements are in the sandwich. (3/5) Pastrami Mommy ($19) - I haven't had bison pastrami before. Now I know why it's not very common - it's way too lean and dry compared to beef pastrami. Still, it's nicely spiced and peppery, and there's not much of the bison gamey flavor since it's cooked out from the curing. There's a little bit of mayo underneath and some mustard on top, but it's not enough moisture or fat in my opinion to counteract the leanness of the bison. While there are some slices of provolone above the meat, they are served cold. I feel like melting it with the pastrami on the griddle would do wonders to help develop some more unctuousness. It's also served on cold rye - perhaps toasting with some butter would also help. Otherwise, the sandwich is just too dry and lean for my tastes. (3/5) I feel like I ordered the wrong items. I probably should have gone with some of the seafood sandwiches, but I found it strange they only serve Atlantic salmon rather than local lake fish. In the end, I appreciate that Northern Waters Smokehaus makes most of their meats in house, but after trying their food, I feel like it's more hype than substance. Bathrooms - Larger ones located upstairs, shared with the rest of the businesses in the mini mall. Note: Northern Waters Smokehaus charges a 3% credit card fee. This is disclosed on a sign at the front register. Food: [3/5] Service: [ ] Other: [+] Final Rating: 3/5
