“ Love the chicken salad or meatloaf! Worth the two hour drive from our place! Service is always great and the gift shop is cute ”
“ I went to the Blue Heron Grill for dinner with friends and we had a great experience! The lighting was dimmed in the whole restaurant which really set the mood for an intimate dinner. Our server was very attentive and friendly. I ordered the Moscow mule which was pretty good and the coconut chicken bowl which was delicious! I would definitely recommend! ”
“ Went in for breakfast before a ladies day out. Was pleasantly surprised that ot was hustling and bustling, even at an early hour. Our server took really good care of our party of 6. Plates were large, enough to split easily or take home. Had several different options for breakfast, so couldn't go wring choosing this place so everyone could find something to enjoy. ”
“ Service is ok, depends on the day & time of day. We enjoy splitting the fajitas combo. ”
“ Great food and service on a busy Friday night. Burger and pasta was great! Good date night spot! ”
“ We popped in here for a family lunch prior to Christmas. Upon arrival the place was PACKED, but we were seated quickly. The volume was a little loud for a family conversation, especially with Grandma and her hearing aids, but food and service were great. We got the steak bites and cheese curds to start. Everything arrived hot and fresh, incredibly fast for how busy the place was. The steak had a kick but was delicious, and the cheese curds super light. I snagged the sunny sliders as a risk and was not disappointed. I haven't seen these on the menu anywhere else and loved the combo of the Hawaiian roll, crispy sunnies and the sauce. I would love to go back for more. My mom got something new and didn't love it. She didn't complain, it just wasn't what she expected. Our server noticed and asked about it, and when she realized mom didn't like it and didn't eat it, she took it off our bill without being asked. This was above and beyond what was expected! It certainly wasn't the restaurant's fault she didn't like it, and them taking that step of service in the moment, especially on a busy day went a long way with me. I will for sure be back to visit next time I'm home! ”
“ We were traveling north to Duluth and stopped here for lunch. It's a very nice place. I had the Greek salad with chicken. The chicken was grilled, moist and delicious. The salad was fresh Romain with Kalamata olives, a lovely feta, red onions small tomatoes and cucumbers. A sweet dressing came with it. (I would have had it less sweet.) Overall it was delicious! Service was fast and friendly. I'll be stopping here again when I'm in the area! ”
“ As a vegatarian hanging out with a Vegan, finding food at bar restaurants in the suburbs is not easy. In fact, it's hard. Really hard. After a long gravel bike ride nearby, we were thrilled to stumble upon the Blue Heron. In fact, we're a little stunned it's only three stars. The ambience is a step above a typical suburban bar restuarant. It was a little too hot after a long ride to eat outside, but their two patios looked delightful. We ate in the bar area which was airy and spacious with lots of natural light. We appreciated the spacing between all the tables. Getting down to the beverages. They have a well curated cocktail menus as well as a good wine and beer selection. We were pleased that they allowed my friend to sample the cider they had on tap before committing to a glass. It's a Sunday, so of course a bloody Mary was in order. I was thrilled that not only did the waitress offer a beer chaser without me requesting it, but I could choose any beer on the menu. Many restaurants will charge for that privilege. The bloody itself was okay . . they need to put a little more pizzaz in the mix, but it was nothing a little tabasco could not cure. We both ordered the vegan mexi wraps and really, really liked them. As noted, it's hard to find vegan food at a bar restaurant, and especially food that is both healthy and tasty. The only thing I would have done differently with the wrap was add black beans and a side of salsa. My friend ordered a side salad - again, very impressive. Mixed greens, instead of iceburg, and fresh veggies on top. I ordered the steamed broccoli which was smple but hit the spot. The menu had some great options for meat eaters and fish eaters, but we did not try any. We are just so thrilled at the options they had for us. The service was great - friendly waitress who was attentive despite multiple tables. And as noted above, she let us sample before buying. I would definitely recommend for anyone looking for lunch or dinner in the Hugo area. ”
