Duluth Grill, located just off I-35 on 27th Avenue West in Duluth, is best known for its fresh, local, and organic menu. It may not feel like a “hole-in-the-wall” to many visitors, but nearly everyone agrees, this spot is worth the stop.

Open daily from 8 AM to 3 PM, Duluth Grill serves a breakfast menu with items like eggs Benedict and burrito bowls, and a lunch menu with sandwiches and hearty bowls.

A Family-Owned Duluth Favorite

The restaurant originally opened in 2001 as Duluth Grill Embers. By 2008, it had completely dropped the Embers branding and simply became the Duluth Grill. Tom Hanson and his family own the Duluth Grill, as well as other local favorites like OMC Smokehouse, Corktown Deli & Brews, and several other properties around town.
