If you want to eat at a fantastic restaurant, this is the place. The dishes they make are sustainable, responsible, Organic, and food conscious, not to mention great. My family has a place in Grand Marais and goes here every chance we get. The price is right for the high quality they provide. I can't recommend this place enough, not to mention the scenery. Scale of 1-10 I give it a 10+

The Crooked Spoon was not our original choice for dinner but was a recommendation from our host at the B&B we stayed at. The food is phenominal!! I am so glad we decided to check it out! I had the Tiger Prawns and my husband had the steak - both were to die for!! If I lived in Grand Marais, I would try to eat there 2-3 times a month - just incredible food!!

The old town bowling ally lanes are now the new tables that you sit while looking out at the beautiful harbor of Lake Superior. Its a very earthy place to eat and I love the Pita and Hummus platter.

In fact, it was so good, I decided to drive 270 miles up to grand marais and 270 miles back just for the pizza in the middle of winter because I knew I wouldn''t be able to wait until the next BWCA excursion in the summer. Plus I was able to see Grand Marais in the winter, without all the tourists, to see what the harbor town life was really like.

We come up to the area 2-3 times a year and we never miss (unless they are closed) this place. With a great atmosphere, and family friendly - it's one of our favorite spots to eat. Breakfast, Lunch or Supper - you can't go wrong. We've never had a bad meal over many years........it's always a treat. There are too many favorites to list from the menu - but the HUGE pancake is a must to try - see if you can eat it all :)

We love My Sisters Place. The Food is awesome. The atmosphere is inviting and comfortable. We tell everyone to go there if they want great burgers and soup. We will keep coming back for more
