Clearwater Grille & Event Center

Food was solid. Nothing fantastic. Service was excellent. Friendly and fast. Atmosphere was great. View perfect! House wine was drinkable but not fantastic.

This place has the BEST RIBS EVER I’ve been to the best rib shacks all over the country and this is hands down best tasting ribs.

This is my husband and I’s go-​to restaurant of choice. We’re locals, and we are greeted warmly and recognized as being frequenters upon our arrival. This greeting, along with being asked if we’re ordering our «usual» drinks, makes us want to return– often. We love the walleye egg rolls, the Parmesan crusty club, the Reuben, and the steak Gorgonzola pasta. The homemade desserts are amazing, and even if they’re not special requests from the kitchen, the staff makes us feel special and that they are. We love that they have an off-​sale liquor license, and even more than that– the patio view of Lake Superior in the summer cannot be replicated.

We stopped here on a whim after driving by and seeing how nice it looked. We got inside and were suprised they had live music going-​the singer/​guitar player did a great job and the environment was all around good. We got the steak with the bacon and the walleye, both were phenomenal and the price was fair. I also got a bloody mary and it was arguably the best I’ve had. Not very spicy, but I’m not a big fan of spice. I’d definitely return.

We had an anniversary dinner for 25 there. Staff was excellent. Very welcoming. Food was delicious!

Terrible food. Great atmosphere. Nice bar… great Lakeview. Just don’t eat the over priced Sysco style food. Yuk

200 feet from the world’s largest freshwater lake and my fish tasted like it had sat in someone’s car for a week before being cooked.
I ordered the the walleye and wild rice egg rolls that smelled like bad fish so bad the people at the table next to us commented. I took one bit and couldn’t eat any more. The fish and chips also tasted like the fish wasn’t fresh. My daughter ordered a hamburger and it was bland and overcooked.
The best thing we had was the turtle brownie which was actually good

Stopped for lunch on a drive down the shore. Got a table on the deck with a great view. Friendly service, very good food, reasonable prices. Soup, French Dip, etc all excellent. Will definately stop here again when in the area!

Unbelievable!!! Taylor thank you for the great service, and Chef Luke… the ribeye and the 8 oz. filet, out of this world!!! Half price wine and, comfortable surroundings. If we didn’t live 6 hours away, we would be regulars. Great job owners, well done!!!

Stopped off for a quick lite bite and loved it! I had the North Shore/​up North? salad and their wild rice soup. Both were amazing but a bit heavier than I planned on. I would eat here again! Oh their happy hour is two for one 4−6…they had a nice selection of beers n booze n wine. I would have given it 5 stars if they offered gluten free items.

We came to Clearwater Grille for a catered event. There was a nice area set up for the private event that served beer, wine, and cocktails. They had a row of tables set up away from all of the sitting tables that stayed filled with croissant sandwiches, bars, fudge, and fruit salad. There were many servers walking around making sure the tables were picked up and clean. The space was nice and open and I would recommend to anyone looking for a space to hold an event.
We were at the get together so long we ended up moving to the bar/​grille area for dinner once the event was over. They served a table of about ten of us and were very good about splitting the bill at the end of our meal.
I ordered the Nachos Grande: A heaping platter of tortilla chips topped with seasoned beef or chicken, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, nacho cheese, jalapenos, black olives, sour cream and salsa. I would have been more happy with these nachos if we would have ordered two orders! :)
I also shared the Spinach and Bacon Salad: Crumbled bacon, hard boiled eggs, mushrooms, and red onion over a bed of spinach with a homemade bacon dressing. Which I was quite happy with — it would have been nice if there was a few more ingredients on the salad. But overall the flavor was of bacon — and how can you go wrong with that!
