We were traveling and staying near the border so we decided to cross into Canada for dinner. Little did we know (our fault) that it was a national holiday so a lot of places were closed. We were so happy and thankful The Harbourage was open for dinner, though! The staff was friendly and welcomed us right in. We both got dinner entrees -- fried Walleye and New York Strip -- which came with soup or salad, bread, a veggie, and a potato. We were pleasantly surprised by how hearty the servings were. You definitely get a bang for your buck here. We also enjoyed being able to sit at a table in the window overlooking the water. read more

Three words 'change your oil!' The fries came out black in my dinner. Don't know too many restaurants that offer such a delicacy.

Really good! They serve breakfast all day which was nice and they made accommodations so our meals could be vegetarian . Service was good and it was nice to be able to sit outside and look at the water read more

Nice small joint. The food was good. Ham was not overly salty. The destroyer was very good. Only down side is service. It took a very long time for us to get our food. read more

Stopped in tonight around 4:15, since it's a block from our hotel, and the staff were very friendly. Things move a little slower than we're used to but we were served and eating within 30 minutes. Portions are a fair size and there are some items that seemed homemade. I'd stay away from the fries, as they are soggy and oily, like the oil they use isn't hot enough; they are not good. The total for our family of 4 (2 young kids) was $85 American, which is considerably more than we're used to paying for a simple meal, but when patronizing a small business like this we don't really mind too much. All in all, it's better than eating fast food and the friendly staff makes a difference. read more

Friendly people. The fried fish was perfect. We were able to watch a sea plane land and take off again from our table! Everything about The Harbourage is good! read more

Let's start with the food, I ordered a chicken wrap and it was crunchy/crispy but juicy chicken. My husband ordered their wali fish with potatoes wedges and a soup, I tried bites off of his plate and they were delicious, the soup was potato soup with a little bit of bacon in it and the fish was breaded great and made it taste so good and the potato wedges were seasoned and cooked just right! You can tell this is a very small business that gets people coming back with not only there amazing food but with there kindness and hospitality and honesty. Our waitress gave us suggestions on what to eat and laughed and made jokes with us and even while having a full house she and the other waitress took orders and cleaned while doing so! If you want a place that serves good food and has very generous workers I would recommend going and trying out here! read more

The only thing worse than the food was the service. After waiting 15 minutes to order the food took 45 minutes to arrive. Dry overcooked burgers. A chicken sandwich with a thin slice of chicken breast that was barely half the size of the bun, over $10. Soggy oily fries. Any fast food establishment would be better in any respect. read more

the harbourage is just filled with overpriced food that you could find in an m&m meats dumpster, and old people so i aint tryna kink shame but unless thats what your into then dont come here. read more

I've eaten here years ago several times and thoroughly loved it, I remember ordering patty melt and fries the special of the day!!! Truly the best patty melt I've had!!!! Also had the wild rice soup that was the bomb!!!! I so need to plan a return trip!!!! read more

Consistently great service, and even greater food, at a great price. They do takeout, which is a plus. My wife and I swear by their Eggs Benedict. TRY THE FISHERMAN'S SPECIAL! It's only available when they have walleye, but it will blow your mind. It's a nice comfortable atmosphere that is perfect for all group types and sizes. Very popular spot for fisherman to drink their coffee and read the newspaper. Come in and give the Harbourage a try. read more

The owner was extremely friendly. Our group had the fried catfish, double bacon cheeseburger and walleye. The catfish filets were perfect, but the waffle fries needed to be cooked a little longer. The spicy waffle fries were great as was the large double cheeseburger. The walleye order was very generous, but had some lightly sweet batter which didn't compliment the delicate flavor of the fish. The carrot cake for dessert was superb. I would definitely go back again, but would inquire about the batter on the walleye. Prices are reasonable and orders are large enough satisfy the largest appetite. read more

I had forgotten just how good the wild rice soup was until tonight. absolutely fantastic

Cross border early, get breakfast, walk a couple of feet across parking lot to get bait, fishing a couple hours later! Best routine!

Grill was not working so could not order pancakes, then right after we ordered they closed because grill was not working at all. Food was nothing to write home about. Had omelet and the mushrooms and wild rice was over cooked. read more

On a recent trip to International Falls, we crossed the border to explore Fort Frances, and ate at The Harbourage. I had the French toast, with bacon, and hash browns. My mom had eggs, bacon, and toast, we also had poutine as an appetizer. I have had poutine before, so I had an idea of what to expect, and I will say, the poutine we had at The Harbourage was pretty good. For those that do not know, poutine is a Canadian appetizer that consists of French fries, cheese or cheese curds, and brown gravy. Regardless of location, I would recommend trying poutine the next time you are in Canada, it's worth it in my opinion. My French toast, bacon, and hash browns were pretty good, it's some of the better French toast I have had. My mom thought the toast was okay, it looked a little burned, but was not a big deal, the eggs were average, and the hash browns were good. All in all, we enjoyed The Harbourage, I really liked the décor of the restaurant, as it has a nautical theme which was cool as there we a lot of different things to look at on the walls. I would go back to The Harbourage, if I were in the Fort Frances area, and I would recommend others try it as well if they are going to be in the area. The only thing is, I'm not sure when or if I will be back in the Fort Frances area anytime soon, but if I am, I would go to The Harbourage again. read more

Five stars people? Gee Whiz, out of the hundreds of establishments where we have eaten, this certainly does not rank as one of the best! It has cramped seating, is very noisy, certainly nothing special in that dept. The service was fine. The food did not taste bad, actually: my Ceasar salad was nothing special for over $8. Okay lettuce, some shredded Parmesan cheese, croutons, bacon bits and dressing served in a little paper cup. Not a huge portion, either, and two pieces of okay toast with it. Wifey's egg salad sandwich was okay, perhaps not worth the $6 it cost ( if I remember correctly.) Friend's spaghetti and meat balls certainly was not special for $12; not a huge portion, quality was again okay. Friend's bacon/cheese omelette for $8 with burnt toast and no potatos was okay. So overall it was an okay place to eat dinner, but likely overpriced for what you get. However, with the current currency exchange rate it was a bit better value. read more

The burgers are soooo good. We go there every year when it opens and can't select anything different on the menu because the homemade burgers are so good. The fries are also delicious. read more
