This was our first time to Longfellow Grill. It was AHHHH mazing!! AMY our server was warm & kind and extremely accommodating to my son with a dairy allergy!! He LOVED his salmon and veggies on brown rice!! I had literally the BEST BEET SALAD I have ever tasted in my life. Delicious- perfectly cooked and LOADED with different colors of glorious beets. LOADED. The menu looked VAST and full of unique flavors. Beautiful outside deck area as well. We will definitely be BACK. Fantastic Food!! The manager came out and reassured that everything was dairy free for my son. Amy did an amazing job serving- and making it a wonderful evening. She was so patient with my son too. I can't wait to come back and try more items. EXCELLENT RESTAURANT 5 stars. Highly recommended!!

The wild rice soup was the yummiest soup I've ever had. The breakfast bowl was also super yummy and the wings were cooked perfectly. Although the Asian buffalo sauce isn't really spice at all. The customer service was great as well:)

I really like this place and I am happy it survived covid. I always get steak and perogies and I keep getting them. I say every time I am going to try something else but I sit down in front of the menu and order steak and perogies again and again. my only issue with the modern telling of this dish is that I had to ask for a side of the horsradish cream more than the little dabble under the perogies. The kids meals were truly great. My daughter loved loved loved her expirience. I am now hungry for steak and perogies again...

Wonderful restaurant with large indoor seating, but much better and nicer patio seating. We were a party of 5 on a Friday afternoon. Waited about 5 minutes for a table, and got a great shady spot outside. Friendly and quick service, good wine and beer selections, and a lot of food options to satisfy all tastes in our party. Lobster bisque was amazing! Recommend a cup as it is very rich and the bowl was just a lot for one person. The tuna salad was perfectly cooked and seasoned and the portion was quite large. Another in our party got the chicken and waffles and licked the plate clean. Everything came out at the right temperature and our server checked on us a few times to make sure we had everything we needed. Great spot for lunch or dinner. Just make sure to get a reservation or call ahead to be sure you can get in as it gets busy all the time.

It had been about a decade since I'd been to the Longfellow Grill. My friend had suggested it, because he'd been there recently with another friend. I got the fish & chips, which was a mediocre dish, unfortunately. The fish wasn't crispy and had a weird taste to it. The fries were delicious, so it elevated the pleasure of eating the dish. The service was good and the coffee was great. I'll be back, and will get a different dish.

Great place for elevated comfort food. My friend and I had great service and food on a weekday evening. Walleye shrimp slider - 5/5. The slaw and capers on the slider were a great complement to the walleye shrimp cake. Brussels sprouts - 2/5. Had obviously been boiled first then deep fried later. The insides were bland and watery and most of the outlet leaves came off. Flavor was dine but couldn't overcome the squishy texture and lack of flavor of the center of the sprouts. Steak and pierogies - 4.5/5. Steak was tender and pierogis were perfectly crisp on the outside. The Asian-ish sauce on the steak didn't work for the dish, but great otherwise. Grilled salmon - 5/5. salmon was moist, mashed potatoes had great flavor, and asparagus was beautiful Carrot cake - 4.5/5. Great flavor and moist cake. I just wanted more texture from more coarsely grated carrots or nuts, or even pineapple or coconut. We had amazing service from Haley - she made great recommendations, checked in on us many times and anticipated our needs - refills, extra plates, to-go containers, etc)

Ambiance: we sat outside on the patio which was kept fairly simple and standard! Umbrellas for coverage, allowed pets, and furniture was basic. Nothing particularly memorable, but was good enough! Service: our waitress was very kind and checked in once to make sure everything was going well m. She offered substitutions whenever dietary restrictions were present, and was overall a great host Food: I ordered the French toast chicken stack and substituted the gravy for hollandaise sauce and it was incredible! Super hearty and filling and the chicken was breaded and cooked to perfection.

We started with an order of cheese curds for the table. Holy smokes -- I haven't had a ton of cheese curds in my life, but these blew the ones I have had out of the water. The breading was light which added a crispy coating but allowed the flavorful cheese inside to take center stage. I very easily could have eaten an entire plate, but I knew I had an entree on the way. For said entree, I went with the basic cheeseburger, but it was anything but basic. The meat was cooked perfectly with just the right amount of pink. The seasoning amplified the beefy flavor and was complemented by the American cheese. The side of sweet potato fries were delicious. They were cooked perfectly -- crispy yet soft on the inside, so the sweet potato flavor was very present. The chipotle peanut pesto aioli that accompanied the fries had such a unique flavor and texture. I expected it to be a relatively standard chipotle-infused aioli, but it was so much more. It had an almost grainy texture like a stone-ground mustard or hummus and was accentuated but the notes of peanuts and pesto. It was one of the most unique-tasting dips I've ever had. The service was fantastic and I liked the casual atmosphere inside. I would definitely return to explore more of the menu.
