I started looking at places like Grand Marais, or Lake Of The Woods resorts, assuming one of those would have the spot further north. Then, I saw the Northwest Angle on the map and thought, "Do they even have any restaurants there?"

The place is called Jerry's Restaurant and Bar. It was recently remodeled, too. It looks really nice. People call it the best place in the Northwest Angle. Not to take anything away from it, but it's the only place on the Northwest Angle.

Jerry's serves as a hub for visitors and locals on Lake Of The Woods. That's the place locals even go for their flu shot.

It's the only restaurant at Angle Inlet. There are various resorts in the area and Jerry's is the place to be. They have a large bar and also a rooftop deck where you can have a million-dollar view.

The food looks pretty good as well. They offer some specialty burgers and a variety of menu items.
