About this restaurant

Named by the Star Tribune as one of the 10 Most Romantic Restaurants Within a Short Drive from the Twin Cities, Justine’s serves hearty Northwoods fare for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

    Excellent food and service. The lodge is a beautiful place to dine with nice views of Gunflint lake and the Canadian shoreline across the lake. The portions are generous and the entrees are supurb. We especially like the wallleye chowder. We feel it is a good value for the money spent. Highly recommended.

    Everything was great. So nice to look out over the water during supper. Our server, who I regret to say, I forgot her name, was efficient and sweet. Their food was delicious. No suggestions whatsoever for improvement.

    The walleye tacos were terrible. The fish was over fried and had a very hot sauce on them. The server was alone, stressed and not talkative. The GFL was very disappointing.

    Wonderful 3 days at the Gunflint lodge. Everyone was kind and accommodating. Lovely canoeing across the lake to magnetic lake and a nice walk to lookout point. The food was excellent and the staff very nice.

    We were on the American Plan and thus ate three meals a day during our three day stay. The food was delicious. It was well prepared and presented. Steaks were cooked exactly as requested, The Walleye Chowder is highly recommended.

    Great dining experience at Gunflint. Our server was fantastic, despite being incredibly busy. The duck wonton appetizers were fantastic in particular. Very glad we were able to make the trip to have a meal.
