Grandma's Sports Garden Review

That place has good food and good well drinks like $5 Long Island Iced Teas

Good food. Drink prices aren't too bad. It's a popular hangout for the college crowd.

What a nice facility, went there for the kq95 superbowl party and I tell ya it is the perfect spot to host that type of event. Nice clean facility, plenty of drink selection and a very nice menu! Upper bar and lower dining area definitely a spot to go check out.

food if fine, bartenders can be hit or miss, but very fun atmosphere for a night of dancing or sport watching. bubble hockey is sometimes here!

Great location to stop for quick bite of food or drinks! Also a great place for concerts!

Typical sports bar environment. The food was good. The restaurant and restrooms were clean.

We went there for lunch today the Turkey club was excellent, my husband enjoyed his brisket sandwich, the fries were delicious. What was VERY disappointing is that I subbed fresh fruit for the fries and paid $1.95 extra to get 6 baby grapes, 2 half slices of orange, and about a 1/4 VERY thin slice of honeydew. I was a little shocked at that. I thought I would at least get all seasonal fruit and certainly more then that. I am not sure what is a good price anymore, everything seems to be pricey every where.

Ehh, I don't really know what I think of this place. If it was just based on food, I'd give it a 4, but the service is a 2. Sometimes trying to get a waitstaff to serve you can get pretty slow. I'm really confused about the decor as well. The middle is all empty. The decor used to be really cool, but now its meh. This placed used to be owned by Grandmas, so i'm hoping eventually this place gets better.

If you're looking for a sports bar, this is one for sure. If you're looking for a decent clean restaurant then go somewhere else. The place is just not the cleanest and food looks and tastes low quality. We came in looking for a quick appetizer and got the nachos. they looked good but just tasted fake. I wouldn't return again or recommend this place

Stopped in for burgers with a friend and our kids and no one finished their food. It was terrible! The beef (on all our burgers) was either freezer burnt or a reheated one from night before. Disgusting! I ordered the burger with gouda cheese and it was the thinnest slice it almost didnt have any on it. The waitress was ok but never even mentioned the buffet as an option. I will never go again! Completely over priced and terrible food. Please believe the others who have posted similar things (just wish I'd seen them before I went)..... avoid this place! I would give zero stars, but it's not an option.

Gone there to eat a few times. Good food fun waiters/waitresses. The Bentleyville Volunteer Party is held there and the food is nicely done. Very efficient staff keeps everything filled.

Went there before a concert with 3 other people, and it was terrible. We found a table it hadn t been cleaned off yet, so we stood by it for 15 minutes and nothing, even though the waiter walked by us a million times. We saw your servers just standing there, I finally went and asked if the could clean it off. After 5 minutes someone did. It took the waiter another 15 minutes before he even came over. My friend had to go and find us menus, and when the waiter came and took our drink order it was another 15 -20 minutes before we got them, and then it was another 20 minutes before he asked us what we wanted to eat. We all choose to have the buffet, and all there where was 2 slices of pizza, which looked al dried up, very little pasta, and bread sticks. I feel if I m paying $12 , there better be a better selection of food and he didn t even bring us napkins we had to go and find some,We waited for our tab, which we had to go and find the guy. I know you will say it was before a concert and we are busy, but we saw a lot of your staff just standing at the food counter for most of the time. We all said never again, poor service and no food... and we all live in Duluth MN... I rate this as a 0

Felt kind of like a dumpy sports bar that they section off for different events. Prices were also steep.

The food was wonderful and you can tell that the food is homemade. The waiters/waitresses are super nice. The check up on you every few minutes to see if you need anything. All together it was really good.

Always a blast at the garden!!! I've never had a bad time here

Really expensive,understaffed...regular ol bar food

The food was okay but everything was over priced. You cannot get out of view of a giant screen TV and the soaring ceilings made conversation difficult. But the service was good and it was convenient.

3Stars only because of location close to lake. Service and food needs lots of improvement good thing at least my beer was cold for a very cold day.

This place has some of the most egotistical employees I have ever seen. It is a decent establishment, but I was not impressed with how the bartenders, waitresses, and bouncers talk to other patrons.

This place is really going down hill fast. The tables are all uneven, so your drinks will spill, the chairs are all wobbly, the food is not very good, and their tap beer selections all come too warm. They need to invest some money into this place. You would be much better off going to the original Grandma's across the street.

Over rated, the experience doesn't make up for the alright food that you pay an arm and a leg for. I'd rather go to the anchor bar

To prove I was of age to enter, the bouncers asked to see my Facebook profile instead of my college ID or credit cards also in my wallet. Word to the wise, if you have a fake, create a fake facebook account to go along wit your fake ID. *I do not condone underage drinking...just saying, if you have a fake, this place seems pretty easy to get into if they just as to see a facebook profile*

Mediocre at best, across the board, food, service, atmosphere.

Great fries. Would have given 5 stars, but in my eyes the burger was a bit pricey

I went during party time for a bachelor party. Place was full, beautiful people dancing everywhere. Pitcher long islands were the cheap drink of the night.

Sat at the bar at 3pm on a Saturday, order drinks which were promptly in front of us, then ordered food that was delivered in a timely manner. Food was delicious, hot, and had a good appearance. Really cool place, even took a picture with Captain Morgan!

For that college night out feel this is the place to go all winter.

Nice super bowl party!! Lots of swag and prizes. Fun.

Great place to come for an event or concert and they've got good drinks.

The staff are very friendly, dependable, and right there to serve. I like to go when Zach is grilling he seems to know how to make the food very delicious. It is nice to see family is encouraged to eat there.

DO NOT EAT THE MUSHROOM AND SWISS BURGER!!!!! MADE MY FIANCE SICK FOR AN ENTIRE WEEKEND!

This is where I had to register for the 2020 Minnesota Polar plunge.

Fun Place to go while in canal park. Cool stuff to see inside. Great food choices.

Service is super slow to almost not existent. BUT the food is simply amazing! If you don't mind the lack of attention from your server and you want excellent food, try this place! Reminds me of island time in the Caribbean..

A lil bit of wait for drinks but it's reasonable for how busy they are. The two bartenders I dealt with were super nice and accommodating. I haven't been here since I was a kid but now that I'm legal and ready to mingle I think I'll be coming around more often. Thanks for the good night Gmas. Only reason they didn't get 4 stars is because they barely have pitchers, 10:30pm and they're out

If there wasn't an event planned for us here....there is no way we'd be here!!!

Food was average. Expensive wings, burger was decent but nothing special. Would have liked to see healthy options menu is "bar bones"

Kitchen couldn't keep up with guests or buffet. Waitresses were understaffed. Food was mediocre at best and was *absolutely* over priced. I expected to pay Duluth prices, but this was ridiculous for the food/service we got. The buffet area was littered with food on the floor. Women's bathroom was not clean, one toilet was a distaster and a couple of stalls locks were broken. Arcade games were not really in a good spot for kids to play on (in the bar). We had to seat ourselves which became awkward when more people came in. As the patron, we shouldnt have to manage that situation. Even after things slowed down in the restaurant service did not improve. All in all a disappointment.

The food was great and our waitress was top notch! Very friendly and attentive. Our family will definitely go back!

Had the pizza, salad, pasta buffet. It tasted fine, but nothing really blew me away. Our server was friendly. It felt cavernous inside. I would have preferred a booth or lower table for our group - but they only had high tops from what I can remember.

Horrible and super slow service!!! I just ordered a simple Caesar salad and nachos after waiting for over 40 min I had to ask the waiter for my order he just looked at me and never came back..we ended up leaving.Very disapointed

Power went out when I was there, but still had a good time

Awesome place, but the pizza buffet was not great. Slimy pasta, plain pizzas.

Pretty good place, great drink deals and POPPIN music. Was banned for a year last November because I was wrongly associated (by security) with a drunk stranger who was alone whilst I was trying to get him out of the bar. Can't wait to go back this year though :)

Great food, drinks, staff and back patio! Always a great time at The Garden

If your looking for food, this is not the place. If your looking for service, you get I dont know but I will check, without follow up, and then misrepresentation of your conversation. I ordered burger that tasted like spoiled beef. Tried it twice. Same result. Felt unwelcomed by staff and can understand why only one other table occupied during happy hour. They did not appear to be eating. This place in no way represents the far superior operation across the street. Over priced burger, I could not eat. Gave server benefit of doubt.

how are going to be a "sports" bar and not stream the fights

Went to the luke Combs afterparty here. It was more than a hassle to get in. The line was outside. It was a blizzard. We had pre bought tickets and only needed wristbands but we were forced to wait with everyone else who bought tickets at the door. It took us 30 min to get inside. Not sure if I will be back. It was okay once we were inside. Tim Sigler was alright.

Very friendly staff! Matt was so personal and nice! And by the way have fun geocaching!

The nachos were bad. But the onion rings were great.

Duluth Marathon Awards Ceremony Is Everything Great At This Site

Besides being asked to leave before I signed my cc slip, because someone needed a table and food taking 45+ minutes and no water refills...... well...

A very nice sport bar downtown Duluth. Great deep fried cheese curds.

This place actually doesn't deserve any stars for their food. It is terrible. Over-priced food to gouge the tourists. There are so many wonderful food establishments in the area. Don't waste your money here. I'll give it one star because the staff were nice.

Great place to have a drink and maybe nachos. Nothing more than that!
I had the BLT. Very difficult to mess up, right? Bacon was all fat and it was on a dry hoagie bun.
My husband had the bbq brisket sandwich which was a few hunks of fat thrown into a bun with bbq sauce on top.
They need to work on their food quality as well as staffing. HUGE wait times with MANY tables open...?

Come here and enjoy the lake. It offers a beautiful view of the sunrise.

It is peaceful and calming. Avoid it during strong winds and high waves.

We were the 1st ppl in the door when they opened at 430pm and we were never even looked at. No one came to take our order or gave us menus. Within 5mins of us being there ppl started piling in. There was 2 bartenders on staff and after 15mins of no service even when we went to the bar to order drinks we still didnt get waited on. Dont know why they advertise as a bar and "Grill" if they dont have enough staff on ready to go when they open their doors. We left and went to the Italian restaurant next door which even though they didnt start serving till 5 we were greated and sat in the bar immediately! We are tourist and were at the aquarium when we saw the sign for the sports bar and grill which is usually right up our alley. But as a Bar & Grill owner ourselves we did not appreciate the lack of service. If its a seat and serve yourself kinda place it should be labeled that with a sign in the entryway. Your locals may know what to do but as a tourist town you are missing out on a big market with the poor staff service. Too bad your burgers looked great online. Very dissapointed

We've been here for lunch the last few times we visited Duluth. It's never been super busy (noon-ish) and we like the food. I will say the food is on the pricey side. I think $15 for a salad with chicken is kind of high. We have never done the pizza buffet and when I have looked it over I am not impressed. Yesterday we went in (2 of us) around 1 pm and it was not busy. The Soccer World Cup was on which was kind of fun. We were not greeted by anyone and no staff were around the entrance so we seated ourselves. Nobody seemed to notice we were there for a few minutes even though there were numerous college age kids working. The male staff looked annoyed to be there and didn't look interested in helping anyone. Finally a nice young lady came to serve us. She did great. Our food was fine and we got the same thing we usually get. While we were eating a group of 4 came in and sat by us. No one ever noticed they were there. After probably almost 10 minutes a woman in the group got up and told an uninterested college kid that they were waiting for a server. She came back and the group waited a couple more minutes. No one came to help them so they all got up and walked out. Not cool. Especially since, like I said, there were a few staff just talking to each other and wrapping napkins around silverware, etc. with nothing much to do.
