You definitely get a bang for your buck here. We also enjoyed being able to sit at a table in the window overlooking the water.

The burger was sad, sure it was the basic 4-H burger but still it was very underwhelming in flavor and presentation. It felt as though more effort went into the restaurant's style than into the kitchen. See photo comparison of our last burger out... Overall, Flint House is worth visiting for its service and setting, but the food could use improvement to truly meet the expectations set by the experience

Anyway, we found some in Fort Frances, Ontario, across the border from International Falls, MN. This mom and pop place puts a different sort of spin on some traditional Filipino dishes, but they pull it off. My wife had pork pancit, but it was more like bihon. She still liked it. Her chicken adobo was not vinegary at all, but still had good flavor. My shrimp wonton soup was delicious. The sweet and sour shrimp-unbreaded per my request-came with chicken fried rice but no vegetables because I ordered an egg roll instead (a mild surprise, but OK). The shrimp were very good and I really liked the chicken fried rice. The owner is a very nice Filipino and the service, although a little slow, was friendly and personable. Overall, we enjoyed the meal. Like the Terminator, I'll be back.

Sat down and waited. And waited. And waited. The surrounding tables were being served drinks, food, being checked in on. Not one worker stopped by our table for 20 minutes, even when the literal table next to us was being served. I should also note we had no menus. To give them the benefit of the doubt, we wondered if we should have grabbed our own menu from the bar. The bartender seemed annoyed by our request for a menu, but success, we can finally peruse a menu while continuing to wait. Other people sat at an outdoor table and were brought water... while we continued to sit. After +20 minutes, a girl noticed us and asked if we had been helped. We said no and she immediately apologized and said she thought the other girl had us. Honest miscommunication. We placed our food and drink order, but then waited 10 more minutes for water. Finally, at about the 45 minute mark we finally had a cocktail. Phew. I should note that tables who sat after us received food and drink before us. Kind of disheartening to sit for so long and not even get our ordered bumped? Overall, spent $75 and nothing was comped or bumped to be expedited quicker. Really wanted to try another drink but it wasn't worth the time wasted or $$$.

We weren't planning on eating at Chocolate Moose, but after a mishap with the wifi at our hotel and…read morenot having much cell service in the area, we to give to give the first restaurant we saw on the way into town, Chocolate Moose, a try for dinner. This is a larger restaurant located right across from the Days Inn. We arrived pretty late, but even at 8PM on a Saturday everning, the place was packed. Luckily there was a table open and we were seated immediately. We ended up only getting one item to share because we had just eaten a ton of cherries and were not that hungry. The server was happy to accommodate. Fried Chicken Dinner ($20.99) - The dish first comes with a side salad, which since we decided to share, came split on two plates. It's a basic salad with some cucumber, iceberg lettuce, and shredded cheese, and is served with two whole small cups of dressing. Our choice was Ranch, which is surprisingly delicious. It's slightly tangy with that classic Ranch taste. It's served cold and is clearly superior to regular bottled dressing - I believe they mix their dressing in house. The fried chicken took about 30 minutes to arrive. It includes four pieces of chicken that are tiny - the smallest pieces I've ever seen other than Cornish game chickens. The chicken seems to be hand trimmed from a whole chicken, then hand battered and fried. The breast actually still has a piece of neck attached and the cut ends are quite messy. It's a homestyle, classical fried chicken, so it's fried hard until somewhat dry and chewy inside. The exterior gives a robust crunch, not quite cornflake/thick flour batter style, but a thinner crunchy coating. The chicken is bled thoroughly so there's no sign of extraneous myoglobin bloody areas that I sometimes see in homestyle fried chicken. It's salted and seasoned well on the exterior. The chicken comes with a bread stick. It's soft, fluffy, and chewy and is brushed with an appropriate amount of salted butter to liven things up. For the side, we went with the wild rice, which was our first try of this dish on the trip. The wild rice is really interesting. It's all curled up and popped open. It has a texture that's really snappy and bouncy, kind of like a hot dog in snappiness, but with the bounce of beef tripe. The taste is nutty similar to barley. We were so enamored with the texture that over the next couple of days, we actually visited multiple grocery stores and trading posts to pick up the various types available to cook at home - cultivated, wood parched, air boat harvested, and wild hand picked. (4/5) Given the tiny size of the chicken, the half chicken meal probably only feeds one person. It was enough for us, though, since we were not that hungry. I was quite surprised at the quality of the food at Chocolate Moose. I expected most of the restaurants in International Falls to be Sysco-reheated-food type establishments, but Chocolate Moose actually makes at least some (maybe most?) of their food in house. Bathrooms - Two larger ones with multiple stalls. Food: [4/5] Service: [+] Other: [ ] Final Rating: 4/5
