About The Gary-New Duluth Milkhouse
The Gary-New Duluth Milkhouse sits on the Commonwealth Avenue strip at the far western end of Duluth, serving fried chicken and comfort food to a neighborhood that has few other options without a five mile drive.
Along with the cafe and the tavern a few doors away, it is part of the small cluster of businesses that makes Gary-New Duluth the practical service center for this end of the city. Morgan Park and Fond du Lac both look here for an ordinary meal out, since neither has a commercial block of its own.
This record is built from restaurant directory listings rather than a first-party source, which is a weaker basis than this guide prefers for a local business. The name itself suggests earlier use of the building, though this guide has not confirmed that.
Good to know: fried chicken, comfort food, takeout.

Where these facts come from
- Restaurant directory listings for Commonwealth Avenue, Duluth 55808. A currency check on 2026-08-14 could not find this business in the current Twin Ports restaurant listing index, in OpenStreetMap or in Nominatim, while the Alpine Bar, Trophy Cafe and Hugo's Pizza II on the same block all appear. Operating status is therefore unconfirmed and is logged in OPEN-QUESTIONS
