Nice place!

Douglas Wirnowski

I had the most delicious grilled chicken burger and a virgin Caesar and it was the best Caesar I had anywhere in a long time. Thanks Flint House. A most amazing dining experience.

Had a great time at the Flint House! The service was very good. The servers were friendly and efficient. The mushroom caps were awesome! My steak tacos were tasty. The wait for the arrival of the food was a bit long but worth it!

Jane Humble

Consistently excellent meals. Diverse menu with something for everyone. Amazing atmosphere. Wonderful staff. Definitely a ‘must do’ when in Fort Frances! (My favorites include the Cantilever Chicken and the Prime Rib) *also a local business that is very community minded and supports local events.

Conor Fryer

Great food, great staff. Great place.

Dayna Lowey (Breksta)

The best place in town to go for eats. It's a little pricey but worth every penny. I loved the exposed brick work inside and what appeared to be old windows turned into tables.

Jacoby Baker

We did not get a chance to try the food. We attempted to try the flint house for dinner because we have heard the food and service was great. We were moved three times and one of the waitresses was a little rude to us. We saw another couple coming in right after us, and seated in one of the spots we were moved from. By the 3rd time being moved we felt so unwelcomed by the waitress that decided to leave. :(

Ian Phillips

Best poutine I have ever had. Friendly staff. Good prices.

Jeffrey Olson

Wow what a surprise in Fort Francis. The decor and atmosphere are so warm and comfortable while still being hip and trendy. The brick walls and Tin ceilings are striking. The staff were attentive and friendly. The food was really good. The bacon and chicken Alfredo penne was delicious and the tacos look amazing.

Ryan Mathisrud

VERY SLOW SERVICE! Incessant loud headbanger music. A bar trying to be a restaurant but failing in both. Decent food but for the price not at all worth it. Our food came to us cold. We asked for the music to be turned down. They did a tiny bit. The music was still too loud even through my earplugs. The service took 3 times longer than necessary. Not worth it.

Randy Lloyd

Atmosphere was excellent, food was good.

Living Art

Had another spectacular meal at the Flint. Staff was attentive. When told I have a shellfish allergy, server immediately offered a different side as their usuals would not be suitable for me. Greatly appreciated. Hope The Flint House and their guests enjoy indoor dining starting once again today.

(Translated) The downtown Flint HOUSE restaurant is easily accessible and on-street parking is available for two hours. Just enough time to have an excellent meal. The architecture of the restaurant is impressive with its heritage past. An old bank transformed into a store, into a restaurant, and the ceilings have been saved and updated while respecting their past. The menu is varied, like bistro cuisine. The furnishings are original and comfortable. Note the glass cabinets at the bar, it is vantage as well as the bricks on the walls. The atmosphere is relaxed, the cleanliness of the place is remarkable. The kitchen is open to the dining room. We see the chefs cooking the tasty dishes. Quality ingredients, freshness on the plate and happiness in the mouth. The service is great, Stacey does a good job. Congratulations to the entire Flint HOUSE team (Original) Le resto Flint HOUSE situé au centre ville est facile d’accès et le stationnement sur la rue est disponible pour deux heures. Juste le temps de prendre un excellent repas. L’architecture du resto est impressionnante avec son passé patrimonial. Une ancienne banque transformée en magasin, en resto et les plafonds ont été sauvegardés et aménagés au goût du jour tout en respectant leur passé. Le menu est varié, genre cuisine bistro. L’ameublement est original et confortable. À remarquer les armoires vitrées au bar, c’est vantage ainsi que la briques sur les mûrs. Ambiance est décontractée, la propreté des lieux est remarquable. La cuisine est ouverte sur la salle à diner. Nous voyons les chefs cuisiner les plats savoureux. Des ingrédients de qualité, de la fraîcheur dans l’assiette et du bonheur dans la bouche. Le service est excellent, Stacey fait un bon travail. Félicitations à toute l’équipe du Flint HOUSE

Bill Hoard

Ordered food for 3 and we payed a little over 100$ for undercooked chicken, burnt fries and soggy rice. Wasn’t a great first experience over all but I’d like to give it another try.

Ramtin Kia amiri

Lots of fries very good food

Sekina Scheibler

Very accommodating, very friendly. 10/10 would eat here again!

Kolton Vanderwerf

The food and service were amazing.

Craig Brockie

We ate lunch here today. There was a good crowd. Our waitress was prompt and friendly and our food was terrific! I had the tomato red pepper bisque soup and my husband had the sirloin steak sandwich that tasted like a NY strip. My only minor concern is when we paid with a credit card, the tip was calculated on post Sales Tax not pre Sales Tax dollars. Maybe reprogram the robot?

Detelin Nedkov

Good food and service!

Jessie Kirschenman

Very nice evening. Music could be a little quieter. Still, regardless. Very nice and awesome food.

Tarlia Mackay

Great meal and great staff...loved it

Dave Higgins

Best pub in Fort Frances. Nice ambiance, excellent food and reasonable prices. Far better than a Kelsey’s or Montana’s for the same price.

Wacka Weed Lawn Care

Great place. Love the atmosphere and decor. Great service. Food and drinks are delicious.

Wendy cyr

Best restaurant in the fort Francis intl falls area. Always fresh. High quality service and meals. Atmosphere feels as if you’re in a high end restaurant in a big city.

Harrison Schan

Amazing food everytime!

Andrew Pearson

Good food and nice environment!

Rhonda Blanchard

Favourite restaurant in Fort Frances. Excellent food, service and good atmosphere.

Carol Trottier

Great menus and delicious food and nice service. Recommend to anyone visiting Fort Frances. Just a little pricy but it worthed

Danielle Schermerhorn

Flint House has a great atmosphere that really fits Northwestern Ontario. It's in a historic building to begin with and the way they renovated the interior is really cool, with reclaimed wood features from an old barn, blended nicely with really modern features you'd expect to see in a brand new restaurant and bar, which it is. The food was great. The Oreo Truffles are one of the best desserts I've ever had--you gotta try those. The drinks and service were great too. When you're in Fort Frances, check out Flint House. I think you'll like too.

ken dumont

The best food in town, comparable to any major city in canada, Awesome atmosphere, great presentation

Elsie Whitefish

If you haven't been here since it opened you haven't missed much. Same exact menu for what is it? 4 years? Got take out for the first time since the shut down. It was a Thursday so it was speedy, but the quality was horrible. Pasta was tasteless, fries were undercooked. Sandwich was just okay. We got our usual orders and it was just not the same. The shut down might have been a perfect time to update things. Without the great ambiance of actually sitting in there restaurant, based on food alone, I'm at a 2 star right now. Come on guys, time to shake up the menu please. I am rooting for you because owners and staff are good people.

kevin robinson

Ok, here we go! That Prime Rib Beef Dip is AMAZING, the Beef Brisket Sandwich never disappoints, and the fries are always nicely blanched. I was a little disappointed in the small portion of aroncini (5 risotto balls the size of timbits for $12- delicious though). Not only is the food always great, but you have to love the generosity and community involvement of the Cridlands. You make such a positive impact in our community.

David Farrell

This place is fabulous! Great atmosphere, great staff and best of all, terrific food! Definitely worth the drive!

Jesse Adair

Nice restaurant, but the food are expensibe

Douglas Masiel

Great food great place

Blair Hancharik

Yum! Worth crossing the border for this restaurant! Fantastic specialty food and drinks. Feels like you're in the city. They have done a great job of remodeling the restaurant. I love that the kitchen is open too.

Cedrik Jones

Great atmosphere. Fantastic food.

Claude Maher

Alright

Michelle Beck

Pleased, good food and nice facility.

Derek M

After reading reviews we had to check out the Flint House and we were pleasantly appeased. We had never been to Fort Frances before so we were going in blind. When we arrived the restaurant was packed and it seemed as though the serving staff were quite busy. That didn’t stop Jolene from delivering impeccable service. We wanted to try the Baco Noir but they were out of stock so we ended up with another red which was also good. For dinner we had the stuffed chicken breast. At the end of our meal we noticed we were the last ones in the restaurant and Jolene took the time to socialize with us and made a great connection. Keep up the great work!

Edythe Dirks

Had lunch with four friends. Great service. Food was delicious. We tried the flat bread with pears nuts and goat cheese. Amazing....... Waitress was great. Keep up the great work. Love your decor.

Roy Ozanne (Wh1t3Dra90n)

Rustic reclaimed building and furnishings, local farms of origin listed on the menu, friendly service and delicious poutine! Remember, the menu prices are in Canadian dollars, so it was a nice surprise when my bill was less in USD.

Josephine Tibbs

Easily the best restaurant in Fort Frances.

Brian Yee

Amazing staff ,service and food! My wife has a soy allergy and they were so accommodating!!

Genn SB

My experience here was very good. The walleye was delicious as were the mussels. The waitstaff was prompt and courteous and the atmosphere is relaxed and refined.

Susan Caduff

We had a very disappointing experience dining at the Flint House. You advertise your establishment as cozy, casual dining & as being kid friendly. This was far from our experience. We visited your restaurant yesterday evening with a large party. The waitress who served our teens at their own table was less than friendly and treated them with an attitude the whole evening. In my opinion, they actually behaved well considering they waited for 1 1/2hours to get their dinners.( which arrived cold , for the most part) After we ate, we also waited for the bills for a very long time, ...by this time most of us were quite unhappy with our whole dining experience. A couple of us asked to speak to the manager, who unfortunately apparently was our pissed off waitress, so our concerns did not get through and were definitely not addressed appropriately. Once the bills did arrive,we were completely shocked to find out an automatic gratuity had been added.REALLY? A forced 18% tip for bad service...not my idea of a fine dining experience.I complained, only to be told "we are a fine dining restaurant, not Boston Pizza... " to be honest, I always have better service at Boston Pizza than we did at the Flint house! I understand waiting for food with a large party, but there is no excuse for poor service or attitude. Customer service is number one in the restaurant business, and this experience was by far one of the worst I've ever experienced. The manager did nothing about our complaints regarding the gratuity or poor service... even though I personally enjoyed my meal, the negative things we experienced outweighed anything positive. I will never return to the Flint House, & I can probably speak for everyone in our large group. Overall... I would not recommend it to others.When in Fort Frances, go to Boston Pizza!

Emily Mashak

Absolutely amazing!! Great food, great atmosphere and the service was stellar!! Definitely recommend the mussels and a Ceasar!! Thank you for a wonderful experience!!

Sevon Simon

On vacation in Fort Frances Ontario and was taken to this really nice restaurant. Food was good...but a bit pricey.

Brianne Ellison

Great atmosphere, great food.

Ramiro Matias

Simply amazing food... and cool decorations.

BETTY Williams

Service was amazing! Food was very delicious! Definitely coming back for more fantastic meals.

Micha Gerber

I know now why Flint House is rated the number one restaurant in the Fort. Great steak and even better service - thanks!!!

Muhammad uzair Khokhar

Best food in north Ontario!

Marina Bauman

As always ambience was perfect, server was extra ordinary and very attentive to every request, food was excellent and plentiful. Some of the menu items are a bit pricey, but its so good its worth it. The perfect choice for lunch or dinner, a great place for a special meal. Truly a little gem in the small town of Fort Frances.

Kelly Kerr

Always excellent service, Jerome is awesome ????

Shawn Jaspers

Love this place! Food is fabulous. The vegetable burger has a flavor second to none. Highly recommend.

Kurtis Gagne

Meals are amazing and the staff is wonderful

Kelly McKelly

Great rustic decor. Service was a bit slow but expected considering how busy they were. One of the gentlemen working apologized for the delay and bought us a round of drinks, good deal, and the drinks were fantastic. We each ordered the tenderloin, it was cooked perfectly and was very flavorful. Being in the industry myself I believe that they, overall, are an amazing restaurant.

Sebastien Rouleau

Great food, great service, great atmosphere. It's a rustic style restaurant but it gives it alot of character. Highly reccomend

Mark Belle

Upscale high quality food...a stand out restaurant for the area. Good vegetarian options as well. Of the 3 meals our table ordered, the comments were all that the food was good, but slightly bland. They don't appear to use any strong spices...but that is pretty typical for the region. The prices are higher than other restaurants, but reasonable for the quality of ingredients used. I would definitely go back.

Tim Hackborn

Wonderful food and service that can't be beat!

Tom Abma

Great service but limited seating. Sometimes slow to serve during peak hours. Excellent option for lunch with great menu selections. Higher end selections for dinner with creative entrée options.

Twyla Howarth

Flint house is always a delight! I’m addicted to the 4-H burger (with fries and their fancy shmancy garlic aioli(?) sauce! I could eat that stuff by the spoonful) The staff is always friendly & professional, when we’re allowed to dine-in, the atmosphere is just right. Definitely recommend ????????

Cindy L.

Food was served cold and half of it was uncooked.

Jenn Trimble

Awesome atmosphere - good food

Shekinah K

Delicious food and relaxing atmosphere. Always a treat to dine here. Really appreciate and admire their working with local farms and producers. ????

Don Roth

My entree was soggy and unpleasant except for the shrimp I had added. The chips we paid $4 extra for were so stale we didn't eat them. They cut me off on Pepsi after 3 drinks without ever refilling my cup again. They stopped giving my wife Pepsi after 1 cup. The waiter went out back around 30 minutes into our meal after I left half my plate uneaten and he took it away. He then was gone almost 10 minutes while we awkwardly sat there and eventually the other server had to go find our waiter out back with some girl. My wife liked her tacos but my pasta was very unpleasant. I really had hoped for a nice meal out but for the price this place was not worth it.

Brad Schave

Great prices for really good food.

Mike Schnekenburger

The drinks are drinkable, but if you want food the same night you probably should order ahead of time

Jackie Emms

Great food !

robert kinsman

Great staff. Great food. Overall good experience.

Gern Blanston

Beautiful interior, great food, friendly service. A great trendy restaurant that feels like it should belong in a big city

Garrett Williams

This restaurant has so much potential! Beautiful interior, clean and friendly staff. Unfortunately, again, I find the drawback is the food quality & service wait times. If you are someone like me and like a medium/rare to rare steak...you have to ask for it basically raw because they over cook it EVERY TIME (expect a medium/well done). Dish quality... id probably throw it into the realm of Boston Pizza category (that’s not saying much, no offence BP) except with a pricer bill at the end of the meal. Waitress dropped an unopened bottle of red on our table and we had to flag her down multiple times to beg for a cork screw. Another time my partner got a can of warm beer without a glass...definitely lacking finesse. Be warned, it takes forever for food to reach your table. We sat and watched our plates on the back kitchen counter waiting for the waitress to carry it to our table.. my partner finally got tired of staring at it and went and grabbed it (don’t worry I tipped him well at the end of the night;))... Final word.... I’d go here again for the atmosphere, with low expectations of a 5 star meal. Maybe next time I’ll be pleasantly surprised!!

Eric C

Second time here while making a border run. Great food with a contemporary flair. Nice selection of classic and new cocktails. Neat venue and friendly service. You'd be hard pressed to find anything better in town.

Rosalyn Calder

Great all around. Not cheap but worth it in FF

Sherhout H

Amazing taste, above expectations. Very nice place for dinning.

Luke Krawczyk

Gale Gagnier

Awesome

Julie Ehrman

This place was really good. Nice fresh interior and food looked and tasted great. I would suggest it to anyone.

Dakota D

Kitchen staff don't wear masks.

Rick Gruttner

Every time I ate here it was exceptional, the waitresses were kind but I'd like to see some French dishes, not sure what you guys are going for in cuisine. Overall, this place is awesome. By the way, I'm a chef as well.

Shannon Elliott

Upscale dining locale, delicious food options and gd looking staff

Adam C

Yum

Mark Kenny

Should have went here ages ago. Wicked atmosphere. A very nice addition to downtown FF.

Shane Kleine

10 out of 10! The service is incredible. Ed and his team truly go above and beyond to make The Flint House an enjoyable experience with an at home feel. From the amazing meals, the friendly wait staff, the delicious cocktails to the live music and specialty nights everything about The Flint House makes it worth going back to.

D'Arcy Johnston

Very impressed. For a small town this was a very nice place. Small, maybe 10 tables, we made reservations when we arrived in town, about 2:30. Glad we did. 4 drinks, split a half salad, 2 burgers with fries, desert and tip, less than $90 US. Very good service, food came out at a nice pace, we didn't feel rushed. Very good food, again, my wife and I were very impressed. Highly recommend this establishment!

Tracey Marshall-Germanese

John Stieh

Great food, staff and service!

Ben Boyum

Grateful that they still have the same things on their menu that they’ve had for a long time now. There are things I miss from the Flint house that I cannot get anywhere else!

Alan Burchell

Great place, but get a reservation. It's limited seating. The duck was great.

Nathan K

Best Prime Rib I've had in my life. The quality and preparation was on point. Meal was out within 15 minutes of ordering. Highly recommended.

Tina Selman

Not bad service but very expensive for the portions you get— rather ridiculous

Pia Penna

Had the crispy chicken burger was pretty good. Was a little dark. Maybe flatten out the breast a little bit and you won't have to cook it as long. On the plus side I was dared to snort a huge line of pepper and got a free meal out of it. Pepper was top notch 10/10 Burgy? You don't even know me!

Daniel Hummel

My fiance and I chose to first meet over lunch here. We love this place. The food, the atmosphere and the service is always impeccable.

Sherry Sinclair

Waitress was awesome, very clean and inviting atmosphere. Food was excellent and had great flavor. Our first time in ft frances.

Jim Turner

I'm so happy a new restaurant finally opened in Fort Frances. There's so question that Flint House is where I go for dinner anytime I'm travelling through.

River Twig

Stellar as usual ????
