Having returned to the valley after couple decades, gotta commend Antrim on how this place has developed into a dining experience! Doesn't matter what you order, get ready for a great home cooked taste. On top of it all, service was great. Janet served us last, and very polite, checked on us often and made us feel at home. read more

Their fish n' chips were absolutely amazing!!! I highly recommend ordering it. No room for dessert sadly. read more

Quite possibly the best diner I've ever been to. Super friendly staff, great menu, wonderful bakery. It's a 10 in my books!

Antrim's Restaurant in Arnprior is a lovely spot with a warm, welcoming atmosphere and friendly service. The food is fresh, well presented, and full of flavour, making it a great choice for a relaxed meal. Definitely worth a visit. read more

Trucker central! The food here was unreal. I had the hot Hamburg and fries - the 10 oz patty was cooked perfectly with nice char to the outside. It had great smoke flavor. Their fries are outstanding - I believe they are double frying them. My wife had the BLT and it was huge and she said it was delicious. It had to be close to 4 inches thick. She could only eat half. The chicken was an inch thick! Washrooms were super clean and the waitress was friendly and fast. I know this seems like a fake review but they really blew me away. It was such a great choice for dinner and will likely return again when in Arnprior. read more

Really great, busy truck stop restaurant off the 417 that is also very popular with the non-trucking locals. Sparkly clean with in-house bakery, gift shop, and large diner area. The food is excellent (including the fries) and the portions generous, and they have a seniors selection as well with smaller portions. My wife had a veggie wrap while I enjoyed a hot turkey sandwich. Server was pleasant and efficient. read more

2020 - I don't drive a rig anymore. However, I do come back often. As sporadic as I am, and I drive past every 6 months or so, I get served by Nick. He is a very attentive waiter. Treats me and my guests like royalty. 2023 - Stopped in again. I still drive from Ottawa to northern Ontario. Every chance I get, when they are open, I stop, get baked goods, have breakfast (I prefer eggs and bacon), say hello to Greg, then continue on my route. You know you go anyplace a lot, when you are on first name basis with staff. It really does feel like home. Even the lad who makes sure the place is clean, inside and out, is friendly. And yes, sometimes even get gas and/or stuff from the tuck shop. Great prices, great food, great experience. I can spend my wage anywhere. I prefer here. I appreciate all the helpful staff. The wait staff are amazing. Again 2023, Had a quick chat with Greg, while wifey was in the washroom. Still had to wait. Very busy, for breakfast, on Saturday. Well worth the wait. Glad the restaurant is filled with people. Like home, but with dishes I don't need to wash. :) read more

Anytime we're in Almonte, we seem to find our way here. The place is always busy. Honestly, I think it's full of locals, I don't see many truckers there, maybe we're not going at the right time. Anyway, the food isn't anything to write home about. It's decent, greasy spoon type food. Hot dogs, hamburgers, wraps, soup, along with "fancier" meals like steak. They have a HUGE bakery counter where you can buy pastries made in house. Those are really quite good, we've bought cookies there before to bring home. The truck stop is worth a stop-in for a quick bite. read more

Always a good meal here! We stop every time on our way to Ottawa! Huge plates of food, delicious gravy, and fries! Amazing bakery, great value ... read more

I've eaten here many times over the years and can't believe I haven't done a review on them. They used to be in the village of Antrim but when highway 17 was rerouted they moved to Arnprior. The food here has always been good and hearty and the portions are generous. Last Friday my wife, brother and sis in law had lunch at ATS and thoroughly enjoyed it. My sis in law had the hamburger soup which she always has there and declared it delicious as usual. My wife had the chicken Caesar wrap which she enjoyed and my brother and I had the special Fish and Chips (haddock). He had one piece F&S and I had 2 pieces. I've gotta say I probably could have done with just one piece. It's a big portion. They give you a heaping order of fries with all dishes and interestingly enough the F&S also came with corn. I didn't eat that and couldn't really see why it was needed. It also came with a dinner roll. Lots of food! The manager came by, as he usually does, and specifically thanked us for coming in now that the quarantine rules have been lifted a little. The restaurant was busy and he went around to every table. Great customer service. They have done an excellent job of placing plexiglass between booths to comply with social distancing and they follow all the Public Health guidelines They also have an excellent bakery on site as well as a gift shop. Located at EXIT 184, (White Lake Road), off HWY. 417 between Ottawa and Renfrew. read more

Everyone said for baked goods ATS is where it's at - but let's be honest, it's a damn truck stop. Anyway, finally, I popped in for the first time this week. Covid measures had me feeling safe and HOLY HOLY HOLY desserts! We got a sampler tray, a cooked pie, a frozen pie, some jams, and cheesy sticks. I am blown away by the quality and flavour of everything! Service was friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient. Why did I wait this long to get gas station baked goods?! Best. Ever. read more

This is a review of the bakery only. I drove there at the recommendation of a friend. The butter tarts are pretty ok, as are the donuts. Very limited bread variety, nothing too interesting, and mediocre in taste. The carrot cake was excessively sweet. I gave it away. Worst was the pie. Very expensive at $18.95. I chose a pie labelled "cherry". It was blueberry. It is about the most tasteless pie I have ever had. Mushy crust, no taste to the filling. I would not have known it was blueberry excpet for the texture. My emailed complaint has been unanswered. read more

Great country style food and great service. Had the eggs Benedict and it was very good. Bottomless coffee and a nice atmosphere. Love all the truck stuff and the big rig inside. Great bakery inside with lots of homemade pastries. Very clean as well. I highly recommend a visit. read more

The service was great the soup was awesome the pie was great The place is extremely clean read more

Breakfast is the only good part, very processed and artificial menu. Service is mediocre and overall vibe is friendly

just took family of 5 to Antrim! 20 minute wait to be seated understanding! 25 Min to waitress takes order 44 minutes and asking for our food, it comes! food was cold , two meals where wrong 122.98 and then asked why no tip after to plate where sent back immediately untouched and not taken off bill! Waitress was very rude , tried to justify what was ordered and she wrote it wrong, my food went back immediately and I sat in the car waiting on family! I get it's Sunday and busy but was very disappointed kids where starving didn't want to wait for new plate so they ate cold fries and shitty wraps !!! Antrim today you guys failed read more

We enjoyed our lunch with Pam as our server. She was awesome and helpful in choosing our meal as well as taking pictures for us! I had a Caesar on a whole wheat wrap and a huge amount of fries was so fresh delicious. We felt comfortable with everyone wearing masks and following protocol of hand sanitizer. On leaving we bought and enjoyed the pastries at the in-house bakery. Definitely will revisit! read more

We went into Arnprior to have dinner at another place but they had closed early. Not knowing where else we should go we decided to check out the truck stop. This is a fairly large truck stop with a ginormous gift shop. They've got all sorts of knick knacks to fritter your money away on. They also have an in-house bakery where you can pick up some bread or other baked goods. The restaurant is quite large and the first thing you notice is the cleanliness of the place. It's insane. I've never seen a restaurant this clean before. The floors, tables, and booths were spotless. Nothing was out of place, salt n pepper shakers and ketchup all lined up perfectly. The attention to detail is something to see. The service was great. Multiple quality checks and friendly service. As to the food. As an appetizer I went for the deep fried pickles. At 3.99 I was expecting a couple of gherkins as the price is usually double that in a restaurant. To my surprise they showed up full sized. They were great. Nice crispy batter. For the main event I went with the fish n chips, which were ok. Typical frozen fish and crinkle cut fries. I'm no Jay when it comes to crinkle cut fries and prefer regular ones. The fish was middle of the road. I'll definitely be hitting up this place again in the future. It's nice that it's open 24 hrs. read more

Service was excellent and food was decent. The whole thing left me wondering WTF happened to the old greasy spoon we used to stop at on our way to Algonquin? When they changed the highway, they killed some interesting on the way. At least its not the generic truck/rest stops that are all over the 401. read more

Great homemade food. Although often crowded, usually a short wait. Friendly, efficient service.

Great wholesome food at great prices. The have a Christmas Dinner Plate that will have you wishing it was Christmas. Fish n Chips on Fridays that come with a great bowl of beef barley soup. read more

My husband and father-in-law gushed about how amazing this place is and how good the food is, so when I went, I was expecting something really good. Instead, my experience was so-so. Walking in, I saw the variety of baked goods and other items for sale, and was impressed by the variety. However, the little shop with spices and other things didn't open until 10 and unfortunately, I missed out on checking that part out. As for our breakfast, service was really good. Our waitress was attentive and friendly. It was fairly early when we went so I wasn't the most hungry. I ordered the English Muffin Breakfast sandwich minus the egg and an order of home fries. While the sandwich was not expensive, I definitely feel I could've made a comparable or better sandwich at home. The home fries were very bland and left a lot to be desired. The prices of the food were very reasonable, but you definitely are getting what you pay for with mediocre food. read more

Hate to be one of these people. But the coffee was water. Horrible coffee. Great food and service though! read more

Delicious food everytime!! The restaurant is always buzzing full of families, couples, truckers and teens. Go on the weekend prepare yourself to wait in line but it is definitely worth it. Even though it's busy the food rarely ever takes long to arrive. They even provide crayons to occupy the kiddies so they can play games on the placemats as the food is being prepared. The bakery always smells delicious and has a variety of freshly baked goods all the time. Perfect for that late night craving I recommend the monkey bread!! Yum ooh or the cheesy bread..ugh now I'm.hungry! The gift shop is super cute with one section dedicated to religion. Baptism, communion, god etc The other part has lots of beautiful outdoor knick knacks, signs, figurines, post cards you name it. You can definitely catch yourself losing track of time with all the different things to choose from. My only complaint was how they stopped serving food late at night ie after midnight it was the go to spot to eat after a night or dancing and drinking. Stop in and see for yourself I'm sure you will leave with a full belly and a smile on your face. read more

Exceptional service. All the waitresses, and wait staff had smiles on. Very clean restaurant, bathrooms, and showers. Would highly recommend this establishment. read more

When my husband suggested we go to a truck stop for breakfast I laughed, only to find out he was serious. Well, I'm so GLAD WE DID. This place is a hidden gem! The food was fantastic, the prices were fair, and I swear they have the fluffiest pancakes I've ever seen! Furthermore they have an incredibly bakery with the most delicious baked goods. We live in Ottawa and I will 100% be making the 25-30 min trip back their regularly for breakfast! read more

Very clean. Family friendly and decent food. Far better than your average truckstop. The smell of freshly baked pies when you walk in is wonderful. read more

Yes, it is a truck stop; BUT, it is not what you think. I was visiting a friend in the area and, the morning after a late night of drinking, we required a delicious breakfast. He recommended "the truck stop", which sounded like a bad idea to me. I was wrong. We were greeted by a friendly waitress at the entrance, and were quickly shown to our booth. On the way to our seats, I was amazed to see that the place was spotless; AND they have a bakery on premises. All of our baked goods were freshly made! The menu is large and everything tastes home cooked. No gross oily eggs. If you happen to be in the area, I really recommend you check it out. read more

Waitresses are below average and will not check up on you. Food is comparable to any dinner. You have to ask for anything after initial order even water refills. Disturbing amount of Christian / Military stuff everywhere. It's close the highway and if you're passing through is worth a quick stop but nothing to write home about. read more

My wife and I have been to this diner multiple times. We live about 10 minutes outside of downtown Ottawa and drive all the way out here whenever we're celebrating anything or even just to enjoy a great homestyle cooked meal. Not once have we ever been disappointed with the food, the service or the amenity. It truly is an absolute joy to attend this restaurant. While it is, indeed, a truck stop, it is a very modern truck stop with all conveniences for truckers, but also a full scale eatery for everyone else as well. Listen folks, if you're looking for huge portions of really great food, at extremely good prices then this is the place for you. Over the years, we've tried close to 75% of their menu, and quite honestly, nothing has ever disappointed. I mean really, even the steak is always cooked perfectly to our liking. We just had steak, actually, a couple of days ago. I asked for medium, and my wife asked for medium-well (which in our experience is the most difficult for anyone to get right). Well... I gotta tell ya... They got both of them absolutely and precisely on point, the way they are actually supposed to be cooked according to those specs. And they had an awesome char on them also. Very impressed. Even though they do state on their menu that there are no substitutions, they always do, in fact, give us our requested sweet potato fries instead of regular fries -- albeit for a very modest extra cost -- but still, they do accommodate. And hey, you wouldn't believe the huge mound of those fries they pile on the plate -- it's crazy. I don't know how they do it because sweet potato fries are definitely not cheap as is evident in any grocery store, and yet they still provide a very generous serving of them. Another few points... The cleanliness of the restaurant is second to none, even the washrooms. It's amazing. The level of service by all of their staff, from servers, to bakery, to cashiers in the gifts stores, is incredibly professional, friendly and accommodating. Incidentally, if you're looking for a very unique gift for a hard-to-please person, then look no further than either of their on-site gift stores. You're sure to find something there that can't be found anywhere else. Oh and by the way, their bakery makes by far the very best fresh baked bread and butter tarts you'll find anywhere. In fact, it's their freshly baked buns that you'll get with your meals - and I mean fresh and hot. And I can't forget about their huge line of home-made varieties of pickles in mason jars -- the bread 'n' butter pickles are the best I've ever had. Now I know what you're all probably thinking right about now... That I must be one of the owners, or staff, or was paid to post this review. I'm actually not any of those. We're not connected to the anyone at this place at all. We are genuine local customers who are just really happy with this restaurant, have always been treated well, and have never had a negative experience with anything here. So since I believe in giving credit when and where it's due, then I felt I needed to post this review to honor a truly exceptional business. And while I am one of those people who almost never gives full stars to anything (which in my mind implies an impossible excellence), in this particular case I felt it is truly deserved. Of course, I'm not trying to detract from anyone else's legitimate review here, it's just that we have not yet been party to any of those other less than perfect experiences. Just one final little tidbit... Even the gas prices at this location were the cheapest I'd seen anywhere on most days we go. The last time we were there a couple of days ago, it was 89.9 when all of Ottawa and the Outaouais was at 94.9 and up. All the more reason to eat there. Go on a close to empty tank and just fill up there on your way back. read more

I love this restaurant for so many reasons. Lots of yummy baked goods, friendly staff, great comfort food. Kid friendly.

This rating is just on their Buttertarts. I love when they are Thick and not running inside. I've told so many people of the years they have the best Buttertarts. The last year or so you never know if your going to get the best thick ones or runny ones. We just went in the other day and bought 2 boxes of Buttertarts. Very disappointing they were running again. So we decided we shall never buy they're buttertarts anymore. After enjoying the thick ones for over 12 years. Very sad very sad I also will no longer tell anyone they are the greatest because they changed them again back to runny. Yuck read more

When we lived in Arnprior we went to the Antrim Truck Stop every Saturday morning after a round of golf. Then sometimes we went for lunch or dinner. The food is amazing. The place is beyond spotless. You could eat off the floor; it's that clean. The nick knack store was huge and they have a little store as well for a few more pricier items. They have freshly baked goods, fresh homemade jams, pickles, spice, etc for sale as well. I no longer live in Arnprior but if I am in the area I make sure that I stop by for a meal and the great service that I have always had. They always remember me whenever I show up. read more

It's a great place for comfort food. It is a Truck Stop with a bakery and nice gift shop. Service is ok, pricey for what you get. There are no substitute at all and they charge extra for some thing, like gravy. They use to charge for jam. I've traveled around the world and I've always been accommodated to dietary allergies I have. But not here, no substitutes! I thought the customer is why your in business and you should take good care of them. Not here! It's very convenient for a quick off and on the Hwy#417. read more

A couple of weeks ago on a Sunday we were on our way to visit family in Pembroke and as always we headed to the Antrim Truck Stop for a bite to eat on our way. It has always been a great place to visit, with its bakery and gift store this place is a home run for pit stops. As always the food is good and great portion sizes with reasonable prices. Every time we have visited the wait staff has been above and beyond what we find in other establishments. This time we sat in a booth by the windows which is really neat because they put neat trinkets that you can buy on display and that gives you something to look at while waiting for your meal to arrive. The only negative thing was that our server took our order and disappeared, another server from across the room delivered our order and another girl filled our coffee. Our original server came back and finally checked on us and put our bill on the table. When it came time to pay she was gone again so we flagged down another server who brought the machine and cashed us out. When we were leaving our server came out of an office and did say thank you to us. I guess my concern is...who gets the gratuity? Well other than this little incident this place is fantastic and we will be back and don't forget to visit the gift shop it is fabulous. read more
