The O'Brien Weekly Restaurant Review

If you like burgers, My Sisters Place is the place to hit in town. (note: on the (Gunflint) trail, Trail Center, just a few rods down the road from Clearwater Lodge, has the same menu since the owners are related (hence the name))

This is the perfect place to end a trip. Its large portions of classic American fare and a respectable variety of beverages (Donny highly recommends the blueberry shake as well) are hard to match. With at least 15 different burger to order from, no one can be left in the cold. Personally, I recommend the Canadian Dave burger, an open-faced burger topped with gravy and mozzarella. My next visit is already decided, the Northern burger, which comes topped with Wild Rice and cheese (two MN classics). Mike K. also raves about the JalapeƱo burger; not my fancy but, again, theres something for everyone. The hot dog menu is also quite diverse, and likely well composed.

Fitting with the menu, the decor is also classic northwoods, Americana throwback. While it’s not located in the main strip (its a bit further north on 61 next to the IGA grocery store), its definitely worth the extra quarter mile. And remember, the next time you saddle up to your next Sisters gourmet burger, tell em the OBriens sent ya!
