About Duluth Grill
Duluth Grill is the west side's best-known restaurant and one of the businesses regularly named as part of the backbone of the Lincoln Park Craft District, alongside Bent Paddle, Duluth's Best Bread, and Frost River.
It built its reputation on scratch cooking and local sourcing, including gardens on its own property, at a time when that was unusual in a city this size. The result is a menu with unusual range for a place that looks from the outside like a roadside diner, and a weekend brunch wait that regulars plan around.
For residents of Lincoln Park, Denfeld, and Spirit Valley it is the default sit-down meal, close enough to be a weeknight option. For the rest of the city it is a destination, which is exactly the dynamic that has driven the district's revival.
Good to know: breakfast through dinner, on-site gardens, scratch kitchen, gluten-free and vegetarian range, long waits at weekend brunch.
