I was literally dumping salad dressing on my fish and rice just to flavor. They automatically add a 20% gratuity to the food so they can pay their staff a " living wage." I am a very generous tipper, but I also tip on service. Our waiter never came back after we got our food or asked if we wanted more drinks until we were finished. He was kind of condescending to the people behind us when they asked questions about the menu. Unfortunately, if they don't have to work for their tip, they're not gonna do much more than they have to. My husband's chicken was pretty good, that got it up from two stars to three. We wouldn't go back.

We initially stopped here because the well-known Angry Trout Cafe next door no longer allows dogs, and we're glad we did. We were able to enjoy a relaxing meal with our dog on the front patio, which made the experience even better. This place is a true hidden gem that deserves far more attention. Delicious food, a welcoming atmosphere, and dog-friendly outdoor seating make it an easy recommendation.

Maybe I'll try a different style next time. If I was in the area, I'd come back. If anyone was in the area looking for a burger or a good pizza I'd send them there.

Somehow, it's even better now. The menu has grown, the quality is still top-notch, and everything is made with locally sourced ingredients--from the produce to the bread. For a food truck using all local goods, the prices are surprisingly affordable--and there's no tax, which is a nice bonus. They take pretty much any form of payment--cash, card, Venmo, Cash App, and even some random app I didn't recognize. The owner, Andrew, was there when we went and he helped me pick out the right sandwich, which was awesome of him. I got the Northern Light with their raspberry mayo--honestly, holy cow, it was SO good. Yeah, it's a bit of a (gorgeous) drive north of Grand Marais, but totally worth it. There's plenty to do on the way up to Grand Portage and more once you're there. We ate our subs at a scenic overlook nearby and just sat there reflecting on stuff--it kinda made everything feel better, y'know? Andrew, if you happen to see this--thank you for everything. You've really made something special here. Can't wait to come back again.

Food is just the way you like it. If its not on the menu they make it happen anyway... Their BLT is actually filled with bacon, unlike other places where you get a two strip X of it in the sandwich. Their is bacon edge to edge! Omelets are good as well. Pancakes are good! And they stamp a little design on the top of them to add a special touch to your stack. Wish they were open for dinner! It is your typical cafe interior. Like its been there forever which adds to its charm. Its not a big place so getting there earlier is a plus, because it fills up fast. Worth the stop.

Was surprised to see some live music taking place. The guitar player was so good, we closed the place. The bartender was very good. I started with two Old Fashions and his pours were very good, but this comes with a price. Cant remember the exact price, but considering the pour, not a bad deal. We ended up having several more drinks...we were into the whole vibe! Had some great conversations. Here's the kicker...got up the next morning and I was missing a pair of Ray Ban sunglasses. I looked everywhere. When we walked into town, I go into the Gun Flint and ask the bartender if she could check to see if anyone had found them. My wife and I were saying "right, in this day and time, who turns in a pair of found Ray Bans". The bartender, i think her name was Jennica, took the time to check in the office and then go upstairs to the Nest. I was in shock that she came back with my sunglasses! The guy who cleans up at night (Lennie?) found them and turned them in. The music was great, the drinks were great. Service was excellent.

My husband loved the walleye, and everything we had was excellent. Sitting at the bar gave us a chance to watch your team in action. The food runners were so jolly and so interested in making sure you got exactly what you ordered. We noticed the same dishwasher working incredibly hard both nights, and it was obvious that every person plays an important role. The friendly bartenders, servers, kitchen staff, and support staff all worked together seamlessly with genuine pride and teamwork. Great restaurants don't happen by accident. It's clear the manager has built a culture where everyone supports one another and truly cares about the guest experience. We travel extensively, and seeing a team like this is rare. Gun Flint Tavern is a place we always recommend to anyone visiting Grand Marais, and after another wonderful weekend, we'll continue doing exactly that. We can't wait to come back!
