North Shore Grille - Bemidji

OMG this place!!! Their food was sO good and the view of the lake!!! You guys this is a must-go place for sure!!!

We had gone to North Shore Grille last summer and were so impressed with the quality and taste of the food, we were excited to come back. In particular the prime rib dinner last year was some of the best I have ever had. So I called ahead to make sure it was prime rib night. We brought two other couples along to treat.As it turns out we were all mostly disappointed. Three of us ordered the king size prime rib, as we did last year. When it came out the portion was so small, I asked the waitress how many ounces it was supposed to be. She said 16oz. No way was this small cut anywhere close to the 16 oz size we got last year. She also said it looked smaller than normal to her. She said she would ask the chef for us, which she never did. Also, the augratin potatoes last year were so soft and creamy. This year, the potatoes were quite hard, like they were undercooked, and topped with bread crumbs that had a somewhat overpowering herbal flavor. Definitely not a favorite. The almond Parmesan crusted walleye was pretty good, as was the deep fried and broiled walleye. The only disappointment was the number of bones that were found. We ordered several different desserts and we were pleased with our choices.Overall, if this would have been my first time coming, we would never have returned. Especially for the price we were charged for a small, very fatty prime rib. After being excited to come, it was very much a disappointment. I don't know if they are buying lesser quality food or if the cook is a different cook than last summer, but there is definitely a huge difference from before.

I had the parmesan almond crusted Walleye dinner, and it was not good at all. The walleye tasted like it was soaked in water and had no flavor at all. The best part of my meal was the house salad it came with.

The best burger that I have had in Bemidji!!! Service was excellent and the view was awesome??
