About Black Woods Grill & Bar, Proctor
Black Woods Grill & Bar's Proctor location at 195 Highway 2 is the closest full-service dining room to Proctor, Bayview Heights, and Spirit Mountain, sitting off I-35 next to the AmericInn with a banquet center attached (Black Woods, accessed 2026-08-13).
Black Woods is a Duluth family restaurant group that has been operating in the region since the early 1990s, and the Proctor room is where hilltop households go for a sit-down dinner without driving into the city.
It also does a substantial banquet and event business, which in a town of 3,000 with limited event space is a real community function.
Two notes. Black Woods runs three restaurants, this one in Proctor plus 2525 London Road in Duluth and one in Two Harbors, so check which you are booking. And the group publishes menus but no daily opening hours on any location page, so this guide gives none. Call before you go.
Good to know: full-service dining room, steaks and seafood, banquet center, happy hour, curbside, adjacent hotel.
