    My recent visit to The Boundary House Restaurant was absolutely delightful, and I can't recommend it enough! From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was inviting and the atmosphere was just right for a relaxing meal. The food was, as always, exceptional. Every dish was prepared to perfection, bursting with flavor, and beautifully presented. It's clear that the kitchen takes immense pride in their culinary creations. What truly elevated our experience, however, was the outstanding service provided by our server, Bradley. He was incredibly attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and genuinely friendly. Bradley anticipated our needs without being intrusive, offered excellent recommendations, and ensured our drinks were always refilled. His professionalism and warm demeanor made our evening even more enjoyable. It's rare to encounter such dedicated and personable service, and Bradley truly made a difference.

    we go to boundary house about three times a year while on vacation. This time was a bad bad experience. Understandably it was very, very crowded and they seemed understaffed as we waited for a very long time between courses and fur a drink. But the biggest issue… There were flies everywhere!!!!!!!!! Literally there was a fly in my dipping sauce. At least seven flies just sitting next to us at the window pane . It was disgusting. and we were eating inside. We ended up having them wrap up our food and we took it home to eat. Disappointed.

    My wife and I had soups and salads this time. Potato and Gumbo soups. Oriental and House salads. We enjoyed all. Service was adequate. The Boundary House is always loud but we are always able to have conversation.

    We were seated at time of our reservation. Placed our order within a few minutes but waited almost 30 minutes on our food!! Several tables around us also had waited a long time for their food.

    Our food was outstanding and our waiter was excellent. But the kitchen lost one of our orders and that person waited 15 minutes for her salad while the others ate and finished theirs. Then her entree was 20 minutes arriving after the others were served and finished eating. It was very frustrating. Our waiter worked very hard to correct the problem but wasn’t very successful. We have had great experiences in the past at The Boundary House and will try again next year.

    As always we had a great meal and our server Chandler R was outstanding. We told him we thought he did a great job and he informed us he had only been there 3 weeks. They should be proud of having him work for the restaurant!

    Today was the slowest for drinks and food ever. Not sure what they were doing but it was very busy and maybe not prepared for the rush hour lunch of summer. As a local we will be back in September or so! We had a reservation for 6 and it was 45 m for drinks and 1 hour + for lunch!! Crazy!!

    Everything was excellent except for the checking in process! We had a reservation and we had to wait as they were changing shifts. They were letting folks get seated that didn’t have reservations before we were seated. If my wife didn’t go up and ask them what‘s going on, we would have waited even longer. Then we were told we couldn’t order a baked potato until 4:00 PM???? The waitress was fantastic!
