Reviews of Harbourage (Winery)

Joseph Lane

Food was ok, Service was very slow, took almost an hour to get our food when it wasn't that busy.

Adam R

Great breakfast. Huge serving size. Affordable prices....

Ruby Boshkaykin

Slow service

Ovais Mateen

We went for lunch and the foodand service was mediocre at best. My fries were over done and my colleague's gravy was cold. What they do have going for them is the view. A spectacular view of the Lake!

Nancy Stienburg

Always great food and service

Joshua Rutzick

We had a qucik lunch stop at Harbourage after a long wait getting across the border. We were not dissapointed with our restaurant selection upon enter Fort Francis. The burgers were juicy and delicious accompanied by tasty french fries. Being a breakfast looking joint, I was surprised to find adult beverages on the menu. Our waitress was extremely excited when I ordered a "Caesar" and she proclaimed to make the best in town. To my delight, she did not disappoint.

martin elyk

Had breakfast. Wasn't all that great. Awesome view. Excellent service.

Carolyn Mount

Food is decent at best (not very good, definitely not great or anything to write home about) but I had great concerns about my whole dining experience. During a pandemic, there should not be lipstick on your coffee cup and I believe the cook should be wearing a mask. I have been disappointed every time I go and won't bother going back anymore.

Maxx Wolting

Always a delicious meal when I eat here! Their dill dip is great with their loaded wedges - my go to when I'm there.

This diner is consistent. If you order the Eggs Benedict, you know exactly what you’re going to get. In fact I can taste the hollandaise right now as I write this. There are somethings that I wouldn’t go here for.... but if you want a good classic diner breakfast then this is the place to go. Eggs, bacon, hash... cooked great. It’s usually pretty busy, so don’t mind sitting elbow to elbow, but this has a good diner feel to it. Coffee is hot and service is fast and nice.

Melinda Dolph

Awesome ceaser salad

Harshad Kale

One of the best breakfast places I've been to lately. It is cheap and the quantity of food you get is just overwhelming. In a good way.

Jodi Mitchell

Food was great service also fine and price really reasonable.

Michael Labute

An honest, delicious breakfast at a fair price. Excellent service and friendly staff.

Good diner style meals

Jesse McLean

When we arrived there was a queue but when I see that.. I know there must be a reason! We waited for about 15-20 for a table to clear and that was not a problem for us. It was our first time in Fort Frances visiting my sister and she recommended this joint. The service staff seemed to be very busy but still keeping up with all service standards. The patrons seemed to be all and older crowd of locals. We were sat in a nice corner table and was able to view the harbour front. We ordered standard breakfast and it came in a timely fashion. Coffee was always topped up as well. At one point the one waitress said to my boyfriend “Hi how’s it going!! It’s been a while!!” She thought he was someone else.. she was a total sweetheart and let us know that he has a twin. Keep up the fabulous work, whenever we visit FF we will return to the Harbourage for breakfast.

Saad Alam

The pautine, walleye and pancakes were good. Only disappointed with the fries and potato wedges as they were burnt. The outdoor seating is great and the kids were able to move around.

Matthew Cornelisse

Decent food but don't get the gravy.

Mo Jo

Fast and friendly

Gigi Korzenowski

Eric James Mortimer

Service was good! Food was great! It was an enjoyable experience.

Adam Charron

Very polite service but we waited 1hr and our simple order was not served, we left. We were not informed that there was a delay and we had to continue our drive for hours… We stopped here because of good reviews during our road trip…

micheal hackman

Good home cooking

Jessica Watters

Homey and comfortable atmosphere. Great food, big portions, beautiful view of the water. Highly recommend!

amber

the service was friendly however the fries i had was cold and barley warm, unsalted and the eggs benedict eggs were over cooked. and there are fries everywhere. cold. never again. was cheap tho for three people

Tim Hughes

Food is great and not overpriced often crowded and closed for winter season

Bruce Lidkea

Gotta love any place that serves breakfast all day long. My family all have their own favorites. My ‘go to’ is the Deck Hand (huge breakfast plate). My wife loves the perogies. My son alternates between the pork cutlets and the liver. My daughter usually gets the chicken strips and fries (with a chocolate shake). You know Spring is finally here when the Harbourage reopens. Friendly staff and very reasonable prices. The front windows offer a great view of the mouth of the Rainy River and the shoreline of International Falls, MN.

John Kearns

One of the last of the great breakfast restaurants, highly recommended

Alex Cameron

Classic diner food

Chad Leimenstoll

Great place to eat breakfast, it has a variety of home cooked type meals. Unfortunately there is very little space and it is dated.

Rhonda Stevens-Bekesi

Friendly staff. Excellent food. Clean. Easy access.

Jerryoke Ride

You see the kitchen when you enter and you know that you're going to have clean home cooked food when you sit down. The staff are accommodating and friendly even if you show up in your dirty work clothes. I reserve the last star because they didn't have any wine or beer. The place is set up like a dinner Cafe.

Liz Maciaszek

Good food gravy was real as were the potatoes. Pork cutlet was juicy on the inside and crunchy on the outside. My dining partner had the chicken dinner also very juicy and crunchy

Curtis

good

Nicole D

Very accommodating for my son's Celiacs Disease. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. My husband had the Philly and loved it. Would also highly recommend the all-day breakfast. Definitely coming back next year.

Rhonda Blanchard

The food is always perfect ❤

Anthony Gulig

This place is the best. A must stop in Fort Francis. The Ruben is to die for. For breakfast get the big canoe.

Judy McCormick

Yesterday was my first time checking out this restaurant as I was staying at the Bayview Motel. The food and the people are amazing! Go for the burgers and stick around for fudge for dessert. I went back the second day for dinner too! Comfort food at it's best!

Enjoyed a lovely supper there with my family. What you spend is what you pay for; Large home cooked meals and lovely veiw. The inside of the restaurant is very sailor friendly and homey. I would definitely go back and reccomend to others. Friendly staff and great food.

K Vlad

The eggs Benedict is great. Big thick slice of ham is optional. The pan fries are grill top sauteed to golden brown and they don't spare the green onion unless you ask. Classic homestyle cooking, and fresh local fish in season.

Isishaj Rivera Gutierrez

Awesome tasting burger and amazing hand cute fries! Will defiantly come again. Would have given 5 starts but the waitress wasn’t that friendly, but then again maybe she was not having a good day??

Dennis Dueck

Good food. place needs to be rebuilt

Jordan Allan (Jerdanalan)

I always enjoy going to the harbourage. The food is always good when I go. It can be busy but people can be in and out pretty quick. Prices are reasonable. Closed in middle of winter still but less. Definitely a go to for tourists as well

barry's country music

Great food, wonderful service- I can't recommend this place enough!!????????????

Mark Cornell

I was surprised by the "mom& pops" style restaurant, it needs a decor update and expansion. The menu was fairly busy but only as a "sandwich" stop, for its location I expected much more, the view of the River was nice which led to me wanting a more "club" style establishment

Steven Tourond

Took forever to get food and it was bland.

Debra Kotnik

Great food!

Mike Schnekenburger

He have been to the Harbourage dozens of times over the years. Really is home cooking with a great menu of things everyone loves. Their gravy should be in it's own food group and award winning. Location is fantastic and overlooks the lake. Lots of parking available even if you have a boat hooked up.

Jackie Emms

Friendly staff. Good good. Well priced. Clean restaurant. Large portions. Beautiful location. Covid friendly!

Robert Fast

Have been coming here for over 35 years on our spring & fall fly-in fishing trips until this year (thanks Covid). Very, very friendly & helpful staff. Very good home-cooked meals & breakfasts. Love the place....

H. M.S.K.

We were a huge group of family members from BC. Harbourage is where we ate the two days we were in Fort Frances. Excellent "like home" cooking, friendly staff, huge portions, great prices. Quick service and clean premises. We were accommodated every time we went in. Even 20 minutes before closing with a group of 12. Definitely will go back next time we're here.

wolf Larsen

The food and service was great!! Friendly staff and fast service!! Everything was really good till we realized we had a rat coming up from under deck onto the deck we were sitting on and eating one the tables. Big rat to came up several times grabbed dropped food on the deck and ran back under. I mean what else can I say other than that's pretty gross!! They did say they have been trying to trap it without any success!

Gerry Delorme

Great home made food. I always eat at the Harbourage when visiting Fort Frances.

westernbody

Excellent food and service. Great small town atmosphere.

Garrett Williams

The poutin was excellent as was the waitstaff. The walleye was mostly flavorless and the kitchen was slow. Either being better would have earned this a 4.

Matt Fowler

Great food. Great prices. Beautiful view of Rainy

John Veillieux

Great food, greater people.

Rosalyn Calder

Good Food. FANTABULOUS Service!

Lori Bilous

Tasty home cooked meals, genuinely friendly service, and generous portions. Every table full on a Sunday evening in the off-season says a lot. Perogies with bacon, fried onions and sour cream were excellent, as was the fish and chips. The other plates coming out of the kitchen also looked very good.

Kelsey C

The absolute best breakfast you will have anywhere, with the absolute best view. Try the eggs Benny, you won't regret it!

If you are within 100 miles of the Harbourage, you owe it to yourself to go. I also get the big canoe omelet, with wild rice and home fries. Delicious.

Jim Leonard

Great food. Dining area a bit crowded and needing renovation.

cheryl rosolie

I've had 2 visits here. First was 100% acceptable. Second visit, there were a few issues with order confusion and the 'BBQ burger' is not a barbecued burger. Will try again

Great buttermilk pancakes! I had mine with blueberries in them with bacon and eggs sunny side up - heaven. The Harbourage is a friendly family restaurant with nice views of Rainy Lake where you can get good food at a good price. The local police eat here, which is as good as an endorsement as any.

David HUDGENS

friendly owner, great view, tasty home made pie, and a sea plane dock across the street. winner!
