Along the North Shore beyond Duluth, there are limited dining options -- so one has to be strategic about planning where to stop along the way. Instead of keeping up a more timely pace and swinging through a fast food joint, make time to actually stop and eat a meal -- leaving enough time and room for dessert, too!
Betty's Pies has been well-known since the 1950s for serving yummy, homemade pies. Some of the pie signature creations can only be found on their menu -- such as Bumbleberry Pie -- bursting with blueberries, blackberries, raspberries and strawberries. There are also fluffy and sweet cream pies. Betty's daily list of pies is always changing, so we always place our pie order with our meal order before a favorite pie type disappears before our eyes!
Although the place is no longer owned by Betty and the original fish-shack-turned-pie-place has been replaced by a nice diner-style restaurant, the charm of enjoying pie together in a friendly place has not changed.
So to plan your stop at Betty's, it is located on the Stewart River about 45 minutes up Highway 61 from Duluth and about its only another 20 minutes further to Split Rock Lighthouse.

Mmm...just down the street from one of my favorite places...Superior Shores!
I was at Betty's Pies on my last trip up north. I have to say my favorite thing about it isn't the food, it's the atmosphere...classic diner with an AMAZING view of Lake Superior.
