Duluth Grill on South 27th Avenue West has been one of Duluth’s most beloved comfort food restaurants since Tom and Jaima Hanson took it over and rebuilt it around a commitment to local sourcing and scratch cooking that went far beyond what the building’s previous lives as a fast food restaurant suggested was possible. It appeared in Season 10, Episode 11 of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, “Sweet ‘n Savory,” which aired November 26, 2010. Guy Fieri found a Duluth kitchen doing American comfort food with a genuine farm-to-table commitment — locally sourced proteins, house-made everything, and the kind of food that earns a city’s loyalty through quality rather than convenience.

What to Eat
The Breakfast Plates built around locally sourced eggs, meats, and produce are the morning anchor — the menu rotates seasonally so what’s on the plate in August reflects the Minnesota growing season in ways that most diners never attempt. The Walleye Fish Fry, a Minnesota Friday night tradition done properly, is the dinner item most Duluth regulars consider non-negotiable. The House-Made Soups, rotating daily from real stock and local vegetables, are the lunch option that earns its own following. The Burgers on locally sourced beef with creative toppings are the other lunch standout. The Homemade Pies from the in-house bakery program are the dessert that closes every proper Duluth Grill meal.
