Taconite Canteen & Event Center

You will not only find plenty of unbelievably tasty and ample sized dishes/meals here….but these folks who cook, serve and create the atmosphere are the pinnacle of what kindness, generosity and service Minnesota style is .
Thank you so much for your kindness and amazing food dishes.

More than highly recommended!

You're going to have a great night whenever you're at the Taconite! Great food, service, atmosphere, and an events center that's capable of hosting large weddings yet can handle small group type meetings as well.

Serbian Sisters held a Meet and Greet during 2023 Heritage Days on the Range. We were able to combine ethnic dishes from the Serbian Church in Duluth with food prepared by Carrie and staff in Ironton. Set up allowed mingling and access to buffet. A cool place to gather in a hot summer!

We hosted a bridal shower at Taconite and Carrie did a great job! The bride wanted a Mamma Mia theme and Carrie created a Greek theme for the food and created two “drink of the day” for us! We will definitely be back!

Everything about this bar and restaurant is awesome! Great choice of foods and VERY tasty coffee. The owner was awesomely fantastic, fun and very accommodating! Looking forward to stopping here in the future!

We stopped for lunch, Sat at the Bar and ordered a Burger California style with fries. Both the Burger and Fries were very good! Our plates were full with a nice portion of fries, The staff was friendly making for an enjoyable experience all around.

Best Place to host a Party!!!

We held a staff holiday party at this location last week. Carrie was very easy to work with in all aspects. The location was beautiful and with plenty of room. Everything I asked to have set up was there when we arrived. We did a pasta buffet and it was so yummy. The people who attended, could not believe how nice it was in the room. Most had never been to the location before. I would highly recommend this location for any large or small party.

We recently had our wedding reception at the Taconite. Carrie and her team were amazing! The planning process with Carrie went smooth, the food was great, the space was perfect, and we had the best time! Thank you for helping make our day special!

Very friendly cafe. Nice cozy place to relax and enjoy friends. Good full menu.

Had a great experience! Personable staff, timely assistance and great food! Not much more you can ask for when going to a restaurant!

Stopped in for lunch today and ordered a hamburger - it was prepared well, the bun was toasted nicely, and the French fries were excellent. Our server Jess handled everything well despite handling the bar and a bunch of tables. Will come back!

The Korean BBQ wings were delicious. So close to the mountain bike trails. There's a jalapeno tequila that was excellent. The pizza was great too. The decor is rooted in the community, the kind that reminds me of home. Such a huge place too.

Great wings! First time we’ve been here since the new owner took over & everything thing was fantastic! Food, service, atmosphere are all top notch & chatting with owner Carrie, who was behind the bar, was fun!

Taconite Canteen and their staff met all of my needs and made it a great place to have a 50th party! Communication was great in the planning stages of the party. The staff was great about checking in frequently during the party to make sure everyone had drinks, pizza, etc. I would highly recommend this place to host your party.

Carrie and her crew did an excellent with our company holiday party! Food, atmosphere, and support were amazing. Highly recommend.

We had an amazing dinner! Sirloin and Walleye Dinner with mashed baby red potatoes. Food was delicious and the service was great!

We held our local TOPS Chapter Christmas party here. The food was presented well and tasted wonderful, the service was very good and our Chapter had a wonderful time there

Great comfortable atmosphere. Friendly staff that gets an effort to make sure you enjoy your time and the fries are amazing

Carrie and her staff went above and beyond for our wedding!!!
Beautiful atmosphere, great food and drinks and an awesome staff!

Great food and service!
