Stopped here by chance on our motorcycle ride. Loved the ambience and decor of this rustic restaurant and store. It fits right into the gunflint rail. Food was great and so was the service. Highly recommed stopping here on your travels.

It was recommended to us to eat here while on the Gunflint Trail. We stopped in for dinner and it was delicious! We had the Fried Walleye and the roast beef sub with a horseradish base sauce. Definitely will stop there again!

The food, the Jalapeño n’ cream cheese burger and fries, including the rhubarb milkshake was fantastic and filling, I could go there just to dip the fries into the milkshake for a hot n’ humid, bug ridden day to relax indoors with the awesome, wonderful and personable staff. I’ve never had Grain Belt beer either, and even that was delicious! I especially love the fact that they cater to the betterment of indigenous peoples providing them with a work program through One Spirit Lakota, as well as working on improving housing shortages for local residents of the local workforce via Hamilton Habitat. So whenever you get a chance, drop in and support your local community and businesses to better support the rest of the community. Thank you for all that you do and keep up the fantastic work!

This place and its owner saved my friends and I. Out of respect for her privacy, I won’t state her name, but our traveling trio owe her lots that night. Our car broke down on Hungry Jack trail and a good Samaratian gave us a ride here. We were able to get some food in our bellies and the owner helped us find a tow company. She was kind enough to let us hang out even after she closed and stuck around with us until the tow truck came. She even went beyond that and gave us her phone number and said if we couldn’t find a hotel room, she would give us a place to sleep for the night. When I offered her a little compensation for the help she stated she didn’t want our money. Ma’am, if you are reading this, from the bottom of our hearts, thank you for what you did for three stranded strangers. People like you is what keeps humanity going. As for the food - delicious! Their shakes are sooo good after days out in the woods. The wings were amazing and so was evening else we ate. I highly recommend the restaurant after a long day!

Every year we stay here at least once. When we stay at Rockwood we always eat here at least once. This is a well run business with a great atmosphere. I treat their property like it's my own and they treat us like family. Easily one of the top 5 places to eat on the North Shore. Well worth the drive from Grand Marais. Fish fry on Friday is fabulous and the battered fried mushrooms are the best appetizer I have ever had. Love their omelettes and hashbrowns perfect. Can't wait to get back!

We have come here before and were pleased with the service and the food. However, today we checked the hours and saw they were supposed to be open, so we made the trek from Bluefin Bay only to find they were closed on a Saturday at 5pm. If you aren't going to be open, please update your hours and utilize an answering machine or voicemail with updated hours. We wasted over two hours coming trying to come here for dinner. Bummed and irritated.

Came here for food after being in the woods for a few days and immediately greeted by a gentleman unloading wood. He was called in to the store for assistance and happily shared stories with us of moose sightings. We were sat down by an amazingly kind woman. Can’t remember her name, maybe Alex? Blue hair. She had a great smile and amazing attitude. We had a roast beef sandwich and poutine burger. Both were delicious. The atmosphere was very inviting. Service was great. Facilities clean. And food delicious. Highly recommend!

Trail Center is an absolute staple of the Gunflint, a must go for at least one of your meals if not more while you're on the Trail. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are all great, the up-north atmosphere is top of the line, and don't forget to buy a couple bags of Camp Chow for your next trip into the BWCA. Nothing I can say that hasn't already been said, check it out!

I and a friend stayed in cabin 1 in July, and I and my wife stayed in cabin 2 in august. If I had it to do over again, I would in a flash! Our camping group has been stopping there for years and will continue to do so. What a great place to visit and stay. The rooms were excellent and were well kept and CLEAN. I feel bad that I found the visitors journal on our last day just before we left. Seek it out and leave a note, they are interesting to read. As a final note, if you are taller than 5' 6" be careful of the doorway in cabin 1(Har Har). See attached picture, I'm 6'4". Thank you again...

If we are at Grand Marais, we always make it a point to visit this Trail Center Restaurant. Reason: Simple, flavorful meals for vegetarians and meatatarians and alike. Kids love it and so do the adults. I especially love their Veg Black Bean burger. It is cooked to perfection - not like the burnt black burgers they serve in the name of veg burgers. Not the horrendous and tasteless Impossible patty. Flavorful, perfectly seasoned burger! And as a vegetarian, trust me - it is such a welcome break to finally get a decent burger that you relish with every bite! Kudos to the chef for serving yummylicious food. Their Parmesan Pasta is a delight too! This place is welcoming to one and all! If you are in and around Grand Marais, be sure to dine in here!

A friend recommended we stop here during our BWCAW trip and we were so impressed. We went twice and enjoyed delicious fish fry, burgers, malts, beer, home cooked meals. They also have the low staffing issue well organized and many restaurants can learn from them! We enjoyed the gift shop very much and got some tasty dried meals for our next wilderness trip in 2023. Keep up the great work. Cannot wait to return.

Real "up North" out in the woods feel and good food. But look at the photos. You can see shower curtains from the ceiling from when they were in full-on Covid nutter mode. Not sure if they've found a way to calm down yet, so be prepared for a side of neurosis with your walleye just in case they haven't.

The staff is so fun and entertaining, they helped get our days started off in a great mood. The seating is wonderful - inside, porch or outside. So much to look at and beautiful scenery. We only did breakfast daily there and I wouldn't have wanted to eat my breakfast anywhere else. We already miss those good eats we were spoiled with!

Your food is brought out to you and you can sit at the counter to eat, eat in your vehicle or take it with you. The service is still top notch and the food....well it's definitely worth driving there!!
