Carmen's Bar & Restaurant

The service was fantastic. Very friendly staff. Food was good. Little bit older decor inside but very nice.

They are open late when everyplace is closed. Nice big dining room separate from the bar so it's quiet. Friendly fast service and good prices. Our meals were good. I will be back!

We where on our way home from our cabin and stopped in at Carmen's for the first time. What a gem of a place! From walking in and being greeted by our server and really never feeling rushed by him with our three kids was great. Our food came out hot and fresh and portions are perfect with leftovers to bring home. The beer menu was great and our drinks never went dry. We will be back for sure!

Stopped into Carmens from a recommendation from the hotel I was staying at and the positive Yelp reviews did not disappoint. Ordered a bacon cheeseburger with a fried egg to medium rare and the cook was spot on. The flavor was not over the top, but really good for a simple burger. Atmosphere was nice, service was quick and friendly. I'd definitely stop in again when I'm in town!Thanks!

This is a great place to catch a game and have drinks, they have plenty of TV's to watch and an extremely overpriced juke box to play a song or two. Use your best judgement when ordering mixed drinks, they failed miserably at all attempts to make a somewhat decent old fashioned. Unfortunately the bartender was not very friendly, nor was she very responsive when we asked for additional drinks. Cheers!

Great local watering hole! Service is top notch, they take great care of you and are genuinely happy to serve you. A place where the locals frequent and are happy to offer their stories of the area. Food is good and served quickly. A great place to stop for a taste of Cloquet.

Service was excellent. Menu was mostly the same dish done differently. Food was quick. Onion rings were fresh

Arrogant head waitress, the waiter male staff have always treated me well and other patrons. The waitresses need to possibly have training in health and safety and what tee'd me off was when I was watching one of the barmaids open the cash register, count the money by licking her finger then when done grab some glasses to fill a beer with her licking finger that was on the rim of the glass and proceed to fill from the tap. It was disgusting and appalling to watch. I almost intervened instead I then just started watching how they run and 5 times out of ten there's some grossness happening but you have to watch for it. I guess they get away with it because it's one of the few places to go and locals have to deal with that level of service.

Restaurant side wasn't bad but over in the bar it seems like a cliquey place. Kind of made me feel uncomfortable but the food was good!

They need to update their hours. Stopped by at 830 pm and they were closed. Website said they were open until 1 am.
