We had 27 people for a birthday celebration. The staff and owners were so accommodating and the service was fantastic. With all those people there our food orders were not only delicious they were served hot. The restaurant was packed and yet we were treated like we were the only ones in the restaurant. Log Cabin made our birthday celebration very memorable.

My husband and I stopped in there for lunch. We were not expecting much, from the exterior appearance, but thought we would try it. The food was absolutely amazing! We had the chicken and pork souvlaki. Portions were good but the taste even better! It was clean, cosy and the staff were very friendly. Service slightly slow and thus the four-star rating.

Fine casual dining in a heritage building situated on beautiful Main Street Kenora, just a block away from Lake of the Woods. Open since 2009 we serve the most fantastic meals to celebrate the flavors of the North. We are the 'place to eat" in Kenora and can't wait to serve you!

My boyfriend and I went here for a mid afternoon lunch on Thursday while visiting Kenora. We initially planned to eat here on Wednesday afternoon when we arrived but there was a sign posted on the door saying they were closed from 3-4:30 pm so we went elsewhere and came back the next day. We sat on the outdoor patio which was completely full of people. Since the patio isn't that big, it felt cramped. Our waitress was nice and friendly and helpful; however she seemed to be looking after a lot of people and it was hard for her to visit our table. We chose to eat here as my boyfriend and I are both gluten free and I am dairy free and their menu looked promising. My boyfriend ordered a cranberry Turkey burger with sweet potato fries and I ordered a taco salad. According to the ingredients listed, cheese was not part of the salad which was why I ordered it; however when I went to eat it, there was clearly cheese mixed into the salad. I hate returning food so I ate it anyway. My boyfriend couldn't remember seeing the cheese listed so perhaps the menu needs to be updated. My boyfriend enjoyed his burger but since he asked for a gluten free bun, it came with bread slices when he was expecting a bun. Perhaps this should be stated by the wait staff prior to placing the order. The food was delicious, even if it wasn't what we thought! We would return again when visiting the area but we'll be more conscious of our decisions. And I believe there may be a $1 charge for eating on the patio?

First 901 is SUPER cute! Staff really friendly in a bright environment. I was super excited to try the borcht that I had read about, but sadly they were out (which apparently never happens!) so I had to pick an alternative side. I got the grilled chicken Sandwich with sweet potato fries. Seriously, best SP fries EVER! The sauce for them is more of a garlicy type sauce. It was a great combination. The chicken Sandwich was also very good. I'll be returning for sure!
