"Our go-to burger place in Duluth and it never disappoints. Their hamburgers are made fresh to order and are made with quality ingredients. Their ice cream and shakes are the best and the strawberry milkshake is hard to beat. Love the French fries and onion rings too. Just simple, good food served quickly in a nice clean environment."

"Every time we visit Duluth, we make a point of stopping at King of Creams. The food is great burger-joint fare, and the service is always pleasant. I would highly recommend a visit if you're in the mood for a great 100% grass fed burger and a delicious Sprecher root beer."

"Got Philly Cheesesteak Wrap and Cheese Curds for a side. Never had cheese curds like this before and they were absolutely excellent. Wrap was a little light on the steak but it was $9 so it wasn't bad at all."

Triple bacon cheeseburger with cheese curds and a Superman shake- sticker shock at first glance of the bill (I'm old), but it was worth every penny, start to finish! Just admiring this colossal burger and those beautiful square curds was worth the first 5 bucks! Highly recommend King of Creams, as one of Duluth's favorites, they show up on every "Best Burger" list, most times at #1. The shakes are outstanding, with many flavors you won't find anywhere else. 10 stars out of 5!". "I got the Philly Cheesesteak with added mushrooms, a side of cheese curds with the aioli mayonnaise, and the chocolate peanut butter shake. Everything was absolutely delicious, but my favorite were the cheese curds and the aioli. The sauce has a tangy zest to it; almost spicy, but not quite. The cheese curds are seriously the best I've ever had! I wish it came with more lol.
