Streetcar Kitchen & Pub - American restaurant in Carlton - 232 Chestnut Ave, USA

Visiting this area for first time, a good friend recommended Streetcar who is from Saginaw. I had the pan fried Walleye and it was delicious. Cooked perfectly, not greasy and spiced really well. It comes with lemon wedge and a delicious tartar sauce. The sides were sweet potato fries and sautéed vegetables, both were very good. I paired fish with Galatic slap IPA. Excellent choice. My friend had Walleye fish tacos he said were excellent. The fried cheese appetizer was also really good, served with a side of marinera sauce. Parking lot is small, but plenty of parking off-site.

I see all the positive reviews and realize I must have just been there on a bad night but still felt it was important to share. I went on Wednesday June 21st and had some of the worst service ever. The server's grandkids were seated at the table behind me and she spent more time visiting with them then ever coming to my table. After I got my menu it took at least 15 minutes for her to come back and take my order. Keep in mind the restaurant was about 50% empty so it definitely wasn't busy. I ordered a cocktail, the walleye wild rice burger, and fries. 20 minutes go by and I watch her visit her grandkids(walking by me each time) at least 4 times, clear tables, get herself something to drink, etc. and I never end up getting the drink I ordered. Food came out and the walleye wild rice burger was flavorless and the fries tasted like fried fish foods(warning for anyone who might have a seafood allergy as they must use the same fryer). I finally am able to get my check and the server again is too busy with her grandkids to grab my card and ring me up so I can finally leave. She even takes one behind the bar with her while the other goes with dad to the bathroom. All while passing my card sitting at the edge of my table another half dozen times. My water had also sat empty most of this time and was never refilled once. I travel alone a lot, I've put in 7,500 miles in the last 6 weeks and eaten out most of the meals and this was unfortunately the worst service I have gotten everywhere I have been.

This is a fun place to go. It is very casual but nice. Food is great, wait staff excellent, priced reasonably. If you're into onion rings... you will find good ones here.

We had the Fireside burger and Walleye tacos. Nothing memorable about either. The fries tasted like they were sitting in a warmer for hours and the coleslaw was soggy (like made 3 days ago). Didn’t eat much of either. The server offered the slaw as an alternative to tortilla chips without mentioning it would cost 3.50 extra. Nice place for drinks and a game maybe, but don’t bother with the food.

If the owner is busy and you ask to pay over the phone he says he won't. Then when I ask why, he gets mad and says just come in I dont have time for that. So I called back to try and pay over the phone again and he canceled my order and said i was acting like a manchild because he wants to be rude and not perform his actual job. Great ownership! I always pay before i pick up my food and tip good Because if you don't pay first you end up waiting 10 min for someone to help you. Horrible service. Owner is a joke. I eat from there twice a week and today the way I was treated (by the owner) I will never go back. Smallest restaurant around but most expensive. $20 for a BLT AND fries. Because fries aren't included with your meal. Save your money time and go somewhere else.

Ate there for dinner and breakfast and it was delicious both times with nice customer service and family friendly atmosphere. Free street parking.

This place is a hidden gem. It's a short drive off the freeway, but most certainly worth the stop. Staff was welcoming and hospitabale. Food was excellent. Portions were large. Prices were reasonable. They have a surprising great selection of local craft beers. They offer a flight of beer for a criminally low $6! They have TVs with sports on. The menu has healthy and hearty options--something for everyone to enjoy. We definitely will be back.

Small town Cafe with a robust menu of appetizers, sandwiches, burgers, wraps a more with a variety of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. The deep fried pickles are some of the best that you will find in the area. The burger and chicken sandwich were good. We would definitely return! Update: We visited again on 10/7, and nothing changed. That's good! We ordered deep fried pickles, beer, Firehouse Burger, and a walleye sandwich. We had a good conversation with the owner's spouse. It was another positive experience.
