When people talk about Gunflint, great food quickly becomes part of the conversation. We have been serving fine Northwood’s cuisine for more than 80 years. The dining rooms are located inside the main Lodge with a lakeside patio, and feature a panoramic view of Gunflint Lake with some amazing sights and glorious sunsets. Named by the Star Tribune as one of the 10 Most Romantic Restaurants Within a Short Drive from the Twin Cities, Justine’s serves hearty Northwoods fare for breakfast, lunch and dinner. We make extensive use of native ingredients, including walleye, wild berries, maple syrup, wild rice, and mushrooms.

    My husband & I love this place. We’re up here celebrating 20+ years together - we honeymooned at Gunflint Lodge. Everything was great - the food (my husband had the battered walleye & I had the chicken), Michael is a great server, my hot cider drink was awesome! We highly recommend.

    Excellent menu, home style favorites, local fare and traditional steakhouse staples. Service is friendly and informative with a picture perfect view of the border lake out the window of this historic lodge. Come see for yourselves!

    Good food and food service. We have burger, and meatloaf, and thought it was good. Prices are reasonable to us. Service was good, but it was a busy time of the year and they only had one server for each room. Once food order for in, food came quickly.

    Not greeted when entering the lodge. Waited quite awhile to be seated. Seemed that one person was running the show. Seating people, taking people’s orders, bartending, bringing food out, etc. I ordered a salad with blackened walleye. Received chicken. Waiter had the order fixed. Cook made chicken again. The famous walleye dinner- the walleye wasn’t served with the chutney as described in the menu. The walleye was sitting in the liquid from the cooked zucchini, giving it a soggy bottom. We asked for tartar sauce- not sure what we got- tartar sauce usually has pickles in it- this had none. The dill sauce on the walleye cakes was a better fit than what was given when requesting tartar sauce for the walleye filet. Nice place, beautiful scenery. No salutations as we left the lodge. Hospitality definitely lacking, as well as the kitchen staffs attention to detail.

    We had a dinner reservation, which was recommended. It was not busy for an early dinner at 5:30PM. The tap beer choices are limited, but ok. Wine lst is adequate. The beer arrived cold, but a frozen glass would have been a better way to serve the beer. The salad was nice, with fresh greens & nice choice of dressings. The walleye soup is always great, however this time it arrived much too cool of a temperature for soup. That seemed to be a problem overall with our food. The walleye arrived fairly hot, but the side dishes, wild rice pilaf & broccolli, both arrived cold & overcooked & pretty well dried out. There seems to be an issue in the kitchen which was disappointing.

    Great place for a nice dinner while you’re looking across the lake into Canada. Can’t miss with any of the walleye dishes.
