Junction Bar & Grill

Reviews & Tips

  There comes a point at which you can't go any further north in Minnesota without funneling east or west through Knickknack Hell (Grand Marais, Ely, International Falls).  When you find see the stop sign at the end of the northbound pavement, you've found yourself in downtown Togo, MN.
  
  Togo, MN consists of a 8 houses, 1 stop sign, and the Junction Bar & Grill.
  
  The Junction is incredible!  It's evolved very little in the decade I've frequented it.  Near as I can tell, they updated the dining area and increased the beer selection.
  
  We stopped in on Saturday during a mid-day break from walking forest roads.  The burgers were fantastic.  I ordered the mushroom and Swiss.  It was perfect prepped with a healthy portion of sauteed mushrooms.   The waffle fries are as good as you will find anywhere, and their beer selection surprised me.  No Guinness on tap but they have it in chargers.
  
  The wait staff?  Well, the bartender swore at me and chatted up my companion.
  
  Perfection!
  
  It's a great place - not at all the dive bar that I tend to encounter on my sojourns to the far corners of our state.
