Went here for dinner midweek when in Grand Marais and love, love, loved it! There menu is extensive and varied - everything from a traditional cheeseburger to a pork burrito to salmon cakes special - with really unusual, delicious combinations and generous servings. Great beers and mixed drinks, only wish we would have had room to try dessert! Just get... more

Vegetarian or not, you have not lived until you've tried the Vegetarian Chili at this place. It's the best I've had in my life. We ate at a few other restaurants in town - all were fine. Then we ate here. Well, we came back to this place 3 days in a row! A decent selection of vegetarian food and... more

First night in Grand Marais and looking forward to trying the well-reviewed restaurants. Gunflint had the right mix of informal and beer. I was disappointed that they did not have fresh fish, which I've been looking forward to, but I was not disappointed with the stacked enchiladas in green chile, with well-prepared black beans and a nice pico de gallo.... more

My mom and I went to Grand Marais as part of a weekend trip, and we went to Gunflint at the advice of a coworker. For lunch, we first had their home-made lemonade, which was incredible! We then split the Pesto Mussels and Asian Big Bowl. The mussels were perfectly seasoned and generously served, and the big bowl had a... more

We go up to Grand Marais fairly often and always eat out. Love all the restaurants, but my favorite meal is at the Gunflint Tavern. Their stacked enchilada is to die for! It's one of the few times I eat my meal very slow, as not to be done with it! Love it! They have a really nice little bar... more

Leave your cell phone in the car. You'll be amazed how good it feels. From the Grateful Dead bears adorning the bench outside on the sidewalk, to the wonderful soups, the vast micro-beer selection on tap, and the warm staff, everything that I seemed to encounter in this place left me feeling good vibes and speaking positive comments to my... more

Eclectic menu selections (a number are Mexican). Bangers and Mash (Kielbasa and Garlic Mashed Potatoes) was very interesting and done well. Wide variation of prices not understood, e.g., $20 for focaccia bread pizza but other entries in low teens. Wide range of sandwiches also available. Can be crowded on weekends (especially Fridays when entertainment offered) with no reservations taken. View... more

We travel to Grand Marais every 4th of July and at least once during the winter monthes. The Gun Flint Tavern is our hang out. EXCELLENT beer and wine choices. GREAT food -healthy stuff. The owners are friendly and hire a variety of interesting staff, many of whom are passing through with stories and adventures to share. The Raven, the... more
