Food here was all fresh made in house, I got the grilled white fish dinner with pasta and a spring salad. The pasta was delicious! We also got the crawfish appetizer which was fun as some people in our group had not tried it before. Also awesome that this place sources a lot of their food locally. Only slight criticism I could give is our waiter was a bit scarce during our meal and not super personable but I'm sure they were maybe just tired after a long day as this is a busy place!

Nice food, great service!
Situated on the bank of the North Superior Lake. Good to here on summer. Expect a more beautiful surrounding with the bright sun light.

Had the “taco basket” - grilled fish tacos (2) w/ coleslaw option (thicker slaw, was good on the tacos 😁) with an add of waffle fries on the side. Tacos were tasty w/ a touch of heat 😋! Took it to go - order was ready instantly, well packaged, friendly staff. Park up at street level and walk down below.

We’ve been in the area this week and have enjoyed The Angry Trout for dinner. Here’s the low down. The good: fresh fish cooked right, amazing view and clean. The bad: very direct/ rude hostess, 20% service charge automatically added which I do not think encourages good service, incorrect fish choice came out with no apology and we had to track down the waiter to get it resolved. Overall decent place with some room for improvement.

No matter the season, always love stopping at the cozy Angry Trout Cafe when exploring Grand Marais on the North Shore of Lake Superior. Great food and drink fare, friendly staff, wonderful views of the harbor both inside and out, and playful landscaping. Personal favorites include the fish tacos, Alaskan salmon when available, hot tea, hard cider, and bloody marys. Well worth a visit. Check it out!

Great setting and food comes out fast. Because their menu is limited, it makes the service very quick. If you don't like fish you might want to try somewhere else.

While enjoying a week off exploring the North Shore, the finest meal I've eaten on my trip was here at the Angry Trout. There was a wait, which was fine with me, given the gorgeous view - but it's a hopping place, you may need some patience. I got a patio table and started with hot green tea, which was warming and served in a cute teacup (I bought one as a memento after the meal). My main was the Lake Superior fresh-caught whitefish, fried to perfection in a wonderfully seasoned light batter. It came with a fantastic wild rice mixed with all sorts of tasty things (they also offered a pasta option, but if you're in Minnesota, get the wild rice), and a delightful salad that included carrots, onions and beets (I tried their excellent maple mustard dressing). Thoroughly happy, I decided to get dessert, which was kladdkaka, a Swedish sticky chocolate cake. I am not a chocolate person, but the sweetness balanced the dark chocolate perfectly, and the delicious whipped cream with it was an enjoyable accent. Overall, one of the greatest meals I've had in years. Take my advice, don't let the Angry Trout be the one that got away.

I first heard about this place about 20 years ago on something I saw on tv. I tried it back then and loved it! This time was no different. We were vacationing from southern Wisconsin and this was on our “must do” list. It was even better than I remember! There was a LOT of road construction going on out front so we had to park far away but not a big issue for us.
The staff was super friendly and accommodating and the food... ,probably the best I’ve had! I’ve been to many restaurants and I’ve been cooking professionally and as a hobby for a very long time. The fish is as fresh as can be and cooked to perfection. Large portions and all the accompaniments are seasoned just as they should be. The tartar sauce and salad dressing are also done very well. They don’t overlook ANYTHING! I had the maple soda and it too, was fantastic.
I can’t say enough about how great this place is!
