The Chocolate Moose Review

Great service, great food. Mostly locals visiting but this place deserves all of the hype.

This was a farely good restaurant we stopped at after spending the day at Voyageurs National Park.

We got a Monte Cristo and a Reuben. We enjoyed both of them. I think I liked the Reuben a little more. The bread of the Monte Cristo was French toast which was really good.

I was disappointed by the fries that came with it. They were luke warm and stale.

There aren't a lot of restaurants in the area and this one got the job done.

Classic American diner, big portions for a reasonable price, and they're super generous with the chicken strips! Grandparents always stop here on their way to Ontario to go fishing, it's a great place to take a break. Like the decor and the coffee.

Breakfast was fantastic. I had the biscuits and gravy which also comes with your choice of fried potatoes or hash browns and 2 eggs. Server was very friendly and the food was delivered to our table in a reasonable amount of time. I really enjoyed the rustic decor of this Northwoods restaurant.

We had a wonderful server named Izzy, who was very attentive and kind. The food was hot and fresh when it came out, and it was awesome! They especially know how to do their fried foods. I can't stress enough how friendly and welcoming our waitress was. The food was great, but the service made our experience amazing. Thank you!

Great food, service and vibe. They reduced the price of dish when I asked to remove meat. Very few placed do that.

At first glance the atmosphere is FUN, the order came out FAST, and the portions of our Moose Combo of a 1/2 rack of ribs, a 1/2 lb sirloin steak (requested medium), Rosie's Loaded Potato, and a side salad was impressive.

However, EXCEPT FOR the TASTY mushrooms with the steak, and the HUGE side salad, - the rest was a big disappointment for our 37th Anniversary get-away, and our first time in International Falls!

The ribs were dried out & cold (as if reheated from the weekend before) and not edible (we're use to "fall-off-the-bone juicy & tender"); the steak was well done, tough & cold; and the potatoes were hard (not cooked all the way through), and though topped with HOT cheese they were cold underneath.

THE BEST THINGS:
the parking lot proximity of our Days Inn Hotel
the atmosphere of Knotty Pine decor
the Chocolate Lava Cake
and our friendly, attentive server, Alyssa.

We realize were in a CoVid world, and April is not the normal tourist season, but to pay $32 pre-tax for a meal we could barely eat we were, at the very least, expecting an apology from the owner or manager, 50% off the total, OR a free dessert. They only offered 15% off the bill.

We'll try breakfast there tomorrow, because it's conveniently close, but maybe the owner's and cooks could have a discussion about excellence & consistancy with their food!

Very good food as always, nice large amounts of food with each meal, very good prices for the amounts and quality of you you get with your orders.

I didnt.think the food warranted.the prices.they charged. Steak looked Grey when it came out. Breakfast and lunch place only.

Food was really good and the service was amazing. Bacon was thick slices. I actually like them thin and crispy but they were good. Burger was 1/2 pound. Couldn't finish all the fries.
