Flint House has a great atmosphere -- modern, comfortable, and visually appealing. The decor shows real attention to detail, creating a nice space to relax and enjoy a meal. Our server was excellent: attentive, friendly, and efficient throughout our visit. Unfortunately, the food didn't match the quality of the service or ambiance. 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 read more

Came by for lunch today. Our servers were friendly and helpful as usual. Soup of the day was some kind of corn chowder, it was very good. The fish tacos were tasty and I loved the homemade French fries that came on the side. read more

Great food but they seriously need to hire more wait staff. Four of us came for dinner a few weeks ago wanting to pad our bellies before hitting Quetico. Started out trying to order a round of cocktails at the bar but the staff were running around like chickens with their heads cut off so it took a while. Got our drinks and were immediately seated (about a 30 minute wait). Very extensive menu. You could get pretty much anything you wanted at this place, but I had the battered walleye since I wasn't sure my compatriots were going to catch anything in the next week (they did, but no walleye). Our food arrived *very* quickly - apparently the kitchen is staffed better than the front side. My fish, veggies and potatoes were absolutely excellent (see below). No complaints from anyone at our table. The portion size was big enough we had to skip dessert :-( Hope to be back next year!! read more

Flint House - Walleye dinner - nom! - Canadian (New) Near Me - Fort Frances, Ontario

Excellent service excellent food loved the atmosphere would definitely recommend. You will not be disappointed read more

Cool spot. Seem to be tied (same owner?) to the Cantilever across the border. This place had more selection for food, and much better prices, along with friendly staff as well. The only thing I'd say the Cantilever has over this is just the ambience there. But this place is a cool place too! read more

Great spot! We weren't sure what to expect since there aren't a ton of other options, but we were very pleasantly surprised by how good the food was. It was the first cold day of the season I think, and a little chilly with all the overhead fans on (hopefully they turn them off when the weather gets colder!). There was only one server and the restaurant had just opened when we stopped by for lunch, so service was just a little slow. But the food tasted fresh and was very flavorful! We started with the poutine (HUGE serving), then I had the French dip with savory sweet potato fries (oh my gosh, the au jus!!!!) and my husband had the smoked brisket sandwich (he was quite happy with it). Overall, would go back and recommend for anyone looking for a good place to eat when in the area. read more

GREAT food. CALLAHAN was our serves she is beyond wonderful! Made a great experience even better.

Great service. Vegan options (linguini and garden sandwich) we had the linguini and it was delicious! Ambiance is cool, very historic chic. Bees knees martini was very lavender forward but also delicious and naturally sweet. read more

Food is amazing - we own a beef farm and always looking for the best burgers The atmosphere is great. Loved all the decor. Felt for the single waitress working the lunch hour. read more

Excellent- make a reservation but really we only had to wait about 10 minutes. So really good, probably the best meal we've had in awhile (yesterday) but really very good!! Service was great everyone was nice- getting across the border was the hardest part!! read more

Wow what a find. We asked for a local recommendation from the boarder guard when we crossed at International Falls and that recommendation was great. The Flint House is located in a restored 100+ year old building in Fort Frances, Ontario. They have done a great job renovating this building. Our dinner selections were the Cantilever Chicken and the Lobster Thermidor. The Cantilever Chicken is an original item on menu at the Flint House and I can see why. For sides I had baby roasted potatoes and vegetables. Both were seasoned to perfection. I could see why this item has been on the menu since the beginning of the restaurant. The Lobster Thermidor was equally delicious. They did not skimp on the lobster or the shrimp. Very tasty. If you are in the international Falls area I would highly recommend this place. The service was fantastic as well as the food. You couldn't find a better restaurant anywhere. read more

Excellent food and service. Atmosphere was marvelous- tons of local history and recycled historic furnishings. Highly recommended read more

My husband had the poutine and I had soup and salad was delicious. My grandson ordered a burger it was big and to much so I helped him. Great atmosphere in a great location. Highly recommend. read more

What a cute cool place for such a little town! The History of this place, which is written out on the drink menu, is actually quite interesting. We really love the old repurposed building and accents all around the room. The vibe is pretty awesome here and the decor is very original. Food is actually quite good. The potato cheddar bacon soup was a huge hit. Home made and very tasty. The crispy walleye tacos were decent, but the serving of walleye was pretty cheap. Lots of lettuce to full the soft taco shell and not enough fish. The cheddar cheese soaking at the bottom under the fish should also be revisited. Not the worse, but definitely not stellar. Overall, a very cool place and I'd recommend it over anything else in town. read more

Overpriced and not worth the quality or quantity of food they give you. I ordered their veggie burger as I am a vegetarian. The waitress asked me if I wanted gravy with my fries, I said no. She brought me gravy regardless, which would've been fine if I had known that it was gravy. I thought it was a dark ketchup at first, so I dipped my fries in it and started eating it, not knowing it was gravy and containing meat and against my diet. I became sick and ill afterward, wanting to vomit because she served me gravy with my VEGGIE BURGER and after I had explicitly said NO to the gravy. To make things even worse, I was charged additionally for the side of gravy that I did not want or ask for. Even without the gravy snafu, I found this restaurant to be somewhat lackluster and not worth the hype or price. read more

My Wife And I Were Finally Able To Come Over For Dinner Last Night 5/25/22 And I Just Wanted To Say How Much We Have Missed The Flint House And That We Are So Happy That We Can Come Again. It Is So Obvious How Much Attention To Detail You Put Into Your Food And Your Staff. Both The Food And Service Were Amazing Like Usual. Our Waitress Was Especially Awesome And Even Made An Awesome Mocktail That My Wife Loved. Both Of Our Meals (Prime Rib And Cantilever Chicken) Were Delicious And Cooked Perfectly. We Look Forward To Coming Across More Now That Restrictions Have Eased Up. Keep Up The Good Work And Please Never Change! read more

Excellent food comfortable atmosphere and a wonderful dining experience all together. I can't wait to go back and try some more dishes. My salmon was cooked to perfection! The beer batter prawn appy was so delicious that I crave it often. read more

We've been here twice, once for a birthday with a reservation, and the other time just as a walk-in lunch. Both times the food was tasty, service good, and while the prices are definitely upscale, I think it's fair given the atmosphere and food. Will definitely return, especially for the Friday night prime rib special. It's great! read more

We stayed in town during our drive out West and found this awesome restaurant. Loved the menu and creativity throughout. Our experience was perfect, great food and really nice staff. The vibe of the place was my favourite part. I just love when a business puts thought into a place and I almost stayed here all day. Very cool spot to go in Fort! read more

Of course as an citizen of the US I am a dumbass and forget I can't get a rare burger, ordered one here anyway and was not unhappy. Service was great, staff was pleasant and I will be back on our way home read more

Great food and service. Was totally surprised with the nice interior. Chicken strips were great also great soup of the day

8-19-19. Terrible, rushed, service. Reservations made 4 days ahead and waiter attempted to seat us at worse table, near door. Noisy, poor atmosphere. Served cold $18 appetizer. Waiter spotted dirty plate and left to get replacement and never returned. 15 minutes later arrived with main entries, we refused. We have been coming several times a year, never again!!! You're going badly downhill. Kevin and Carol Cone. read more

Really substandard lunch. Even for a small town. Prices high. Just poor cooking. And a rather disinterested service.

Food was good. I had the French dip and my wife had the Greek salad. Atmosphere was ruined by an obviously intoxicated guy that was loud and boisterous dropping F bombs and a mouth like a sailor. Not the atmosphere that one would expect at a place that seems a lot more classy. Disappointed that the bartender thought he was funny instead of dealing with the guy. read more

Loved the food at this little place. Roasted red pepper soup! Chicken fingers outstanding! Caesar salad also great. Service was wonderful.

Rather pricy, but the food was above average for Fort Francis which doesn't have many good restaurants. Nice atmosphere and decor.

Superb atmosphere and service. The owner and staff were friendly and genuinely cared about our experience. The food was well-prepared, delicious, and in generous portions. Their bar had a good selection (try the local ungava gin). What a gem! read more

Food was phenomenal and service was remarkable. I had lamb and my husband had the French dip. Great menu, wish we were in town longer to try more. read more

Stopped by today for lunch - food was great, fresh and substantial! Service was excellent. Nice atmosphere.

We stopped by while wandering around Fort Frances and were pleasantly surprised by this restaurant! The crispy chicken sandwich was delicious-one of the most juicy pieces of chicken I've had! My husband had the brisket and loved it. The dinner menu looked pretty stellar, too. If you are in the area, definitely check it out! read more

Pretty bad service. The walleye poboy was mediocre at best. The pulled pork sandwich was tasty but not even close to any piled pork that I have ever eaten. The fries were cold and the waiter forgot the sauce. Very disappointed. read more

Dinner was great. Atmosphere is classy. Staff are friendly. Recommend that you make reservations. We showed up at 5:30 and thankfully they were able to accommodate the 2 of us fairly quickly. Next time we'll call ahead! An interesting place that I didn't expect to find in Fort Frances! read more

Was an awful experience and to top it off I called a week in advance to reserve a table but they gave that away to other people and make us wait. Awful service and horrible waiters/waitress and gross atmosphere read more

Unfortunately, I would not recommend this restaurant. The Flint House looked like a great place for a casual dinner, however our large group was not happy with almost any part of our experience. One of the waitresses, ( who was apparently the manager,) treated our teenagers very badly. She was upset when someone spilled a drink, after which she was rude and very snotty to all of them. The kids waited 1 1/2hours for their food, which was mostly cold by the time it came out to them. Not impressive. And lastly, our bills took forever to sort out, AND they had the audicisity to add an automatic 18 % gratuity to our bills. We spoke to the manager, who did not address any of our concerns , only continued to argue that they were a fine dining restaurant & not Boston Pizza. She did apologize, but did nothing else. Only defended their behaviour & dismissed our concerns. Tips are earned, when service is good... and nothing about the service we received was good. Needless to say, nobody in our large party will ever return to the Flint house, as our experience was anything but fine. You say you are kid friendly? I would argue. My suggestion is to learn some basic customer service skills in hopes that your customers will return. Fine dining , you are not. Your food and atmosphere was good, but the service we received was unacceptable. And that is what we will tell others about the Flint House. read more

Let me just start by saying I love the decor in this restaurant. I haven't had an opportunity to enjoy a dinner yet but have eaten lunch on 3 occasions. I really wanted to be blown away by the food but was a bit underwhelmed, I do really enjoy the fries and the dipping sauce, however each sandwich I had was average. The tables seem too close together for private conversations but other than that it was a nice experience and I look forward to trying out their dinner menu in the future. read more

I stopped in for lunch and was not disappointed! The staff were very friendly, the food was great and the decor was very trendy. Also, they make the best signs! read more
