If you're driving through Kearney and don't stop at DJ's Grill & More, you're seriously missing out on one of the best little hidden gems in cottage country. Conveniently located right on #518 as you enter town, beside the Algonquin Park permit office, this place has become one of my favourite regular stops. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and wonderfully small-town. The food? Absolutely incredible. They serve all-day breakfast, lunch, and their famous Fish Fridays, and everything I've tried has been fantastic. I often grab a coffee and breakfast wrap on my way to work, but if you're hungry, their Big Breakfast could probably fuel a lumberjack for a week. For lunch, my usual go-to is the beef dip with Caesar salad or poutine, but today I tried the hot beef closed-face sandwich with a Greek salad and honestly, WOW. It looked like something from a food magazine and tasted even better. Rich, homemade comfort food done right. I think what really makes DJ's stand out though is how pet friendly they are. Their patio welcomes well behaved dogs and they even have an actual dog menu! My pup was treated like a VIP with fresh water and a delicious meal of his own while we relaxed on the patio. That kind of care and friendliness is rare these days. Whether you're heading to Algonquin Park, passing through from Highway 11, or just looking for a scenic excuse to get out of Huntsville for the day, DJ's is absolutely worth the 25 minute drive. Just note they're not open most evenings, so plan accordingly. Do yourself, and your taste buds, a favour and stop in as soon as possible. You'll leave full, happy, and already planning your next visit. read more
