Northern Waters Smokehaus

Founded in 1995, our deli has been in the same building since 2001, though our staff has grown almost ten times larger. Originally carved out of what started as a nook in a hundred-year-old mattress factory on the bank of Lake Superior, we now occupy spaces on three different floors.
	

We try to have fun every day, whether it be in the heart of the February bleakness, under the mossy seep of March or headfirst into July’s sparkling catapult. We bump playlists, draw cartoons, hide little plastic animals, and share sandwiches. We are musicians, artists, print-makers, dungeon masters, yurt-builders, thrill-seekers, and nesters. We always find something to talk about with guests and regulars. Some of us are parents, some of us live with our parents, some of us are thousands of miles away from home. We make some of the most delicious food on Earth and we serve it to people who know it is some of  the most delicious food on Earth. 
	

We are fortunate.
