We ate at the Angry Trout two years ago (2007) and were very excited to return there for an equally enjoyable meal while visiting the area last week. What a disappointment. The food was okay, nothing great but certainly not bad; the server was pleasant; but it was the hostess that made the experience just downright dismal. With only a... more

Ate grilled Lake Superior whitefish at the Angry Trout. It was the best ever and the platter was supreme with very fresh salad, wild rice and corn on the cob. The waitress was wonderful and the food was great! more

After reading some of the reviews I wasn't sure what to expect from the Angry Trout Cafe. My wife and I eat mostly home cooked, mostly organic foods with a passion for a well balanced diet. On this trip to the North Shore of Lake Superior, we ate all of our meals except one at the house keeping cabin we... more

No trip to Grand Marais is complete without a stop at the Angry Trout. Always bright and peppy, this place sports the best artisan-made furniture and decor around (make sure you use the bathroom). The food is tasty, the message is organic and the view of Lake Superior is wonderful no matter what the weather. We loved the otter bobbing... more

Yum!

A business traveler recommended the Angry Trout Cafe. He said sea otters sometimes put on a dinner show. The commercial fishermen next door lose a fish or two from boat to shore I suppose. Our hostess was bubbly and warm unlike our server. Our food was tasty and creative. I ordered lake trout. I'm no foodie but my companion has... more

After many rave reviews, and numerous acquaintances telling us we HAD to go, my wife and I gave it a try when we recently found ourselves in Grand Marais. Dilapidated was the first word that came to mind as we approached the establishment. Thankfully friends had recommended parking elsewhere and walking or biking over as parking is all but non-existent... more

We read online that Angry Trout closed at 9, so didn't rush over after a long day of hiking the Superior Lake Trail. When we arrived at 8:08, the sign on the street said OPEN, and happy diners laughed inside, but the "hostess" gave the cooks the option not to cook for us, and they took it. I read that... more

I've eaten at the Angry Trout many times and the food is great. But I would go there if the food was only "okay" why - ? Because the owners really get it. They care about the taste and quality of the food for sure, but they also care about the Environment, Local Economy AND their Employees! Pick a copy... more
