The Gun Flint Tavern

Outstanding service. The servers and bartenders were friendly, kind, and had all kinds of information and knowledge not only of the menu, but also the surroundings. The beers were fresh and had a great local selection. The food came out quick and was absolutely wonderful! Highly recommended. A MUST STOP if you are in Grand Marais. We ate early lunch and a dinner there on our last time in the area.

The Gunflint Tavern is a great spot for some food and drinks. Their menu has some great vegetarian options! Their burgers are delicious, the French onion soup is fantastic, and the chili is always a go to comfort food! Their drink menu is great - the espresso martini and sours are perfectly crafted. The atmosphere fits Grand Marais perfectly. It’s a cozy fun bar with great table seating overlooking the lake. And lastly the staff and service is great! Our server and bartender were very friendly and gave us amazing service. It is disheartening when people leave negative reviews about the “bad” service. Grand Marais is a small charming town. Remember to slow down and enjoy the time with your friends, family and enjoy Grand Marais!

Amazing, varied and complete menu. Many gluten free choices (essential for me). Many vegetarian options. Our server, Damari, was over the top friendly, attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. I had the half rack of barbecue ribs with a wild rice side. It’s rare to find a place that uses gluten free barbecue sauce. Delicious and the price was very reasonable. We’re in Grand Marais for three nights and plan to go back every night to try something else on the menu.

We loved Gun Flint Tavern! We will definitely return! Our server Damari was super friendly and attentive. We loved everything we tried: the French onion soup, the stacked enchiladas, the curry soup, the Cuban sandwich, the beer selection, the Old Fashioneds and the sangria. The atmosphere and vibe was fun.

Today I visited Grand Marais for the first time with my friends. We were very hungry, so after checking some reviews, we decided to try this place. The restaurant wasn’t crowded, but the service was still slow. As a vegetarian, I appreciated that they offered several options to choose from. I customized one of their menu burgers by ordering it with a bean patty, cheddar cheese & mayo instead of sour cream. However, on my second bite I immediately felt something was wrong. At first, I thought maybe they had grilled the bean patty on the same surface as beef patties. But then I realized it wasn’t a bean burger at all, it was beef. This was extremely disappointing and honestly ruined my day. I politely explained the situation to our waitress and then left the restaurant. If you are vegetar
