My view from the table - bar to left open later
Steve A.

I love a place that tries so hard to capture everything with its name and misses everything. So. Bar: On your right. Restaurant: On your left. Restaurant includes pizza. And a lot more. For example, being from Pizza Land, I had a burger. The grilled cheese burger. Which was as glorious as the person who recommended I go here thought. It wasn't overly decadent like he thought, it wasn't huge like the staff thought, it's the right size for a nice price, prepared fresh with extra care. I had to ask 3 times but they actually. hand cut. the coleslaw. here. in house. Get the cole slaw. YUM. Oh, and get the grilled cheese. Gooey, overflowing with cheese, done just right. Bacon cheeseburger actually comes in second to the grilled cheese! (Which you can also get with bacon. And probably more cheese. I probably should have gotten 4x bacon 9x cheese grilled together. Now I know.) Yeah, the restaurant closes rather early (9 PM on a weekday), leaving the bar. I didn't wander into the bar. This is just the restaurant, but between the staff and the food, the whole place is a win to me, whatever it's called.

Marty is a bad Ass Bartender!

It's hard to leave a star review because Are server Marty was Awesome. But the reason for 1 star is someone stole my wife's $50 insulated cup off our bike while we were in there. Thank the Great waitress though for her service! It's a pink drink container that the scum bag had to take from us.

This was the place to be the afternoon we stopped in! Super friendly, great drinks, pizza was killer! We will definitely visit again when we are on the area!!

In town for a hockey game and like to find good eateries in other towns. Went with the burgers because I read that they were large and hand patties. It took 30 minutes and was told it was due to the size and I went with it. As it turned out it should've taken 20 minutes. The burger was over-cooked and had absolutely no flavor or spices. Overall nice try but would not recommend ordering a burger there. Kinda bad;

The sign says it all!

The food is surprisingly good for bar food. Pizzas are great! Atmosphere is just a bar, but somehow you just don't care! It's great.

The pizza was greasy and the beer selection could have been better. The burger and appetizer was good.

Thunderbird Lodge - Restaurant ,Bar & Lounge - Walleye Sandwich

Thunderbird Lodge - Restaurant ,Bar & Lounge

4.3(6 reviews)

We decided on Thunderbird Lodge for lunch after our Grand Tour of Voyageurs National Park. We…read moreweren't originally planning on visiting, but this place was one of the closest restaurants to the Rainy Lake Visitor Center. We were starving since it was almost 1 PM and we hadn't eaten at all since the previous night. The place wasn't busy at all, and with a thunderstorm rolling in and the skies darkening, we took a seat inside and got our food within 10 minutes. Walleye Sandwich ($22) - First I have to say that I love how this is served. All the veggies (a couple of slices of pickle, some lettuce, and tomato) are all placed underneath the bread and fried fish in order to keep things fresh and crisp. A lot of times when a restaurant pre-assembles sandwiches with veggies, the moisture soaks into the bread and/or fried food. The fish, in this case fried walleye, is nicely flaky and mostly tender, not drying out too overly much from the fry. It has mild flavor, fresh not fishy, and the breading, evenly applied all around, stays completely adhered. The breading isn't too heavy of a layer so the taste of the fish still comes through. The bread is a normal commercial bun, toasted until kind of crinkly and crumbly. Watch out for bones inside the fillet - I found three still embedded. The sandwich comes with some thin commercial battered fries. There's not much else to say other than there was no problems with the level of fry. (4/5) Chicken Wild Rice Bowl ($8) - This is a relatively creamy stew-like soup, with a mire poix mix that includes tender carrot, but crunchy celery. Clearly an indication that it's home made. There are chicken chunks that don't seem to be home made though - the chunks seem like cubed chicken from a can or vacuum packed and cubed. There's extra umami and saltiness from crumbled bacon - in fact, the soup as a whole is perhaps too salty for my tastes. There's a decent amount of cultivated broken soup-grade wild rice included, some pieces are longer and curly, most are short and straight. They still give that nice bitey, springy, snappy texture though. (4/5) I found Thunderbird Lodge to serve some pretty decent food, especially given the real dearth of quality restaurants in general around International Falls. I wish we had eaten there on a sunnier day so we could take in the full view of Rainy Lake while eating on the patio! Bathrooms - Larger ones in the hotel Food: [4/5] Service: [ ] Other: [ ] Final Rating: 4/5

Yet another wonderful meal at The Thunderbird. Walleye can't be beat. The chicken n wild rice soup…read morewas so good too. The view is worth the trip for sure.
