never been , my wife's boss
talked about this place for years
i believe him Preston Bennett RIP

Haven't been here since I retired in 2020 (used to be a regular on Fridays for lunch with 3 other coworkers). I heard it had changed owners and found a great deal on Groupon. My friend and I couldn't believe how AHMAZING it looked on the inside! Everything was new... the counter with new stools, flooring, all new booths, tables, and chairs, plus they had like 6 tvs big ones on the side where the grill is too be. We didn't see any familiar faces, but the lady that was our server was new, but she did a good job seeing as how she'd only been there a week. My friend had the country fried steak with gravy, mashed potatoes, and green beans. I had a veggie plate that had Mac n cheese, broccoli casserole, green beans, and rice with gravy. After our first bite, we knew the same cooks were there ! Thank goodness! We chose biscuits with our meals bc another server told us that the corn muffins were now kinda sweet, and if you are a true southern than you don't eat sweet corn bread at least we don't! We also had 2 coffees. The Groupon was for $30, and the bill total was $28.54, so our server said we were all good and she left! I'm not sure if the remaining 1.46 was her tip or if a tip was already added because we never got a bill. Finally we saw a woman that we recognized come to find out she was the original owner from 1978 until 2004. She said she only worked 3 days a week and that there were a few people still working there that we knew, but they worked the AM shift. She makes the ABSOLUTE BEST HAMBURGERS on the flat top, which is what we went for but didn't order bc we didn't see her . I have her schedule now, so we will be going back soon! She also said that the new owner had thought about making the place a sports bar, but the location just wasn't happening even with all mega amount of new apartments surrounding it. Of course, there are 2 breweries plus several other restaurants in the Duluth area for the younger crowd to visit, and they don't mind traveling 40/50 miles to downtown to get their grub on. She also said that the new owner was probably going back to the old hours of 6am till 3pm. Guess he figured out it is the regulars that keep the Duluth Rexall Grill going like they have for 50 years! If you've never been please go the food is fantastic and if you use to go please go back they need your business! It is an iconic place in Duluth and is still wonderful as always. Don't forget to grab a slice of their homemade cakes. They are divine!

Simple country diner with good prices.

Stopped by after church and got their red plate special - $9.99 for meat of the day, 2 veg, and 2 cornbread. Food came out quickly. Quality was good and vegetables seemed to all be freshly cooked and not from a can. Portion size was generous and I left satisfied.

Glad I stopped by and will definitely come back again.

Ummm. Too bad I can't give .5 stars. We came because they advertised "homemade buttermilk biscuits". Not sure whose house they were made at but please. Don't invite me. Ever. As a matter of fact - I'm busy with a prior engagement on whatever say of your shindig.

The biscuit was undone in the middle to me. The gravy was gross. I've had better at McDonald's.

Who puts American slice cheese in grits? And they were gross. And this is Georgia - how do you mess up grits!
Menu also doesn't say the grits have cheese - just says "grits"
Husband had meat omelet with sausage and bacon. It was tasty and the reason for the 1 star

I say pass and go somewhere else.

Maaaaaaaan I've passed by this spot for years but haven't gotten a chance to check it out until recently. I'm so mad it's taken me this long. I grew up on the "2 sides and meat" yummy eats. The inside of the restaurant is much bigger than it looks from the outside. Staff is friendly and they turn the orders pretty quickly.

I have to give a special shout-out on their strawberry cake. I love a good strawberry cake... and Rexall Grill does it right.

Definitely worth checking in out if you're in the mood for some southern eats in the Duluth area.

Tried Duluth Rexall Grill for the first time. The place is reminiscent of a blast from the past. Very homely and laxed atmosphere. It seems that a number of the customers are regulars on a first name basis. The food reminds me of a country kitchen. The service is excellent, checking in often to find out if you need anything.

Been living in the area since 1994 and have heard so many good things about this place the whole time, but for no explainable reason I've never been.

Well, I dined there for the first time today and realized I have been missing out. Rexall Grill is everything I thought it would be, been told and read about.

I was there for a mid afternoon meal (I had not had lunch yet) at around 3:00 p. m., so there were very few people there. Had the plate special for the day which was the Country Fried Steak with sides of green beans and butter beans, plus a biscuit. It was all delicious and I scarfed every bit of it down, cleaning my plate which would have made any mother proud.

Sat in a booth, but I think next time I'll sit at the counter. It is a nice, yep drug store counter, vibe. Not that it is bad or good, but the wait staff are a bit eclectic, perhaps slow, but the food far outweighs it.

I think next time I'll try the Chicken and Dumplings which, when YOU walk in, you'll agree is a place that has the feel it has should not only cook up a good meal of Southern Fried Steak, but Chicken and Dumplings, too! :)

Dear Duluth Rexall Grill Team,
Thank you for your response dated January 3, 2024, to my review from September 16th of the previous year. While I appreciate your acknowledgment of the incident, I must express my disappointment in the delayed nature of this reply. The significant gap between my initial feedback and your response unfortunately casts doubt on the sincerity and effectiveness of the apology offered.

In customer service, timeliness is a critical component of genuine interaction and problem resolution. A response that comes after an extended period of 3.5 months not only diminishes the value of the apology but also suggests a lack of immediate concern for customer experiences and feedback. It is disheartening to feel that my concerns, which I believe were significant and warranted immediate attention, were not addressed in a timely manner.

Additionally, an effective response to customer feedback should ideally be prompt, demonstrating that the customer's voice is heard and valued. The delay in addressing my concerns has led to a perception that the response is a mere formality rather than a genuine attempt to rectify the situation or improve the service standards.

I sincerely hope that in future, Duluth Rexall Grill will consider the importance of prompt and sincere communication with customers. It is through such interactions that trust and loyalty are built and maintained. I look forward to seeing improvements not only in the timeliness of your responses but also in the overall customer service experience. Afterall, If I can't expect you to reply within 48 hours, like most companies do for reviews - how am I ever going to trust you to train your staff and do all you promised in your reply?

Thank you for your attention to this matter. Lynn

My dining experience was certainly not like these negative reviews. Greeted pleasantly at the hostess stand, and enjoyed prompt, friendly service. Food was delivered in a timely manner, with eggs cooked perfectly as ordered, a generous portion of bacon, and hash browns that would rival WH any day. Highly recommend a visit to Rexall Grill.

Totally disagree, wait for the

Food for almost 45 minutes and everything was wrong.
I only saw the waitress when she take my order and when she work the food she never went to my table to ask if everything was fine or I needed something while I waited for the food.
First and last time I come
