The staff, including the owner, are all super friendly. We sat on the patio and were lucky to catch live entertainment by Jan/Blackhat, who had an excellent, soft voice and played great tunes on his guitar--very enjoyable. We were pleasantly surprised by a complimentary warm and toasty pita with excellent hummus, reminding us of how restaurants used to be. It was a delightful touch. I ordered the beef and lamb patties, which came with long-grain rice, roasted carrots, broccoli florets, and two sauces--tzatziki and a carrot/pepper spread. The patties were very tender and the dish was excellent. It also came with a delicious Greek salad. My wife had the vegetable moussaka, which she thoroughly enjoyed. Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience that we would highly recommend. Cheers

Anyway, they looked pretty full but we got a seat immediately. Sandra was very attentive to us throughout the meal. I ended up getting a small Caesar salad and asked for grilled chicken on top. My husband got a side Caesar with his huge burger. We both enjoyed our food and the restaurant, although full, was quiet. The decor was nice too. We would definitely eat at a Turtle Jacks again.

What a fun little lunch venue! I was taking a tour of the Niagara falls area and my friend…read moresuggested we go eat here. I'm so glad we did because this is really a great place to stop. It's cool because not only do you have the inside of the restaurant to eat in, they also have an across the street seating which is serviced by a waitress. That is a great feature for those who want to sit alongside of the canal and enjoy the outdoors. We were seated right away, and our waitress came up and took our orders. My friend had the pulled pork sandwich and I opted for something a little healthier, which would be a strawberry salad with grilled chicken. It also came with a vinaigrette. The salad was absolutely lovely, the chicken was cooked to perfection, was moist and juicy, and that vinaigrette sauce combined with the strawberries was absolutely to die for. Overall. It was one of the better dining experiences I've had and I would highly recommend this place. Bottom line? If you are out and about down by the canal, you should do yourself a favor and check out canalside. It is definitely worth your time and a perfect way to relax, cool off, and sort out the rest of your day.

The best part is the view of the canal from the patio or from the front of the restaurant. When a boat goes by the lift bridge goes up, it is something very neat to see. There is also an Airbnb upstairs so you can have dinner here and head up to your room, all without losing that cool view.

My family always looks forward to going to Debb's when we visit Dunnville as part of our camping trip to Ontario, so we highly recommend Debb's.

It took a while for the bread to come to the table. The bread was room temperature. The group of us started with the calamari appetizer. The calamari was oily and not crispy. There was a piece of plastic in one of the calamari pieces. I notified the server and she took it off the bill. We all ordered pasta dishes for our mains. The linguini and clam entree I had was bland. Instead I ate my child's gnocchi and meatballs. My friend said his veal parmigiano was plain. He kept putting a bunch of chilli flakes, Parmesan cheese, and salt to make it taste better. My husband got the arribata. He thought it was okay. Overall, it was a meh experience.

We ordered a carafe of house wine and were pleasantly surprised at how good it was. I ordered the French onion soup and she had the soup of the day which was Minestrone. Both were very good. I thought we'd splurge and get the Brie appetizer which was unbelievable. I'm not generally a fan of Brie but this was served with garlic bread drizzled eithbalsamic and the Brie was cooked in a cast iron bowl with roasted cherry tomatoes, spices and oil. Yum! I ordered the Ragu and she had the chicken piccata. Both were excellent ! This will definitely be on our summer restaurant rotation in the future!

Our food was delicious. Very nice portion sizes as well. We started off with the burnt ends.. YUM. The smoke flavor definitely came through and it came with some pickleld veggies and cucumbers, it was fresh and tasty. I went with the crab and corn chowder with the bourbon jam burger and fries. Also at the table was a basket of fried shrimp, and the chicken waffles. First let me say their seasoned fries are absolutely amazing. Fried perfect and when they call them seasoned, that they are in a great way! My crab and corn chowder was tasty. I could used bit more crab but that didn't take away from it tasting good. My burger was cooked as I liked. I wish the bacon jam to blue cheese ratio were a bit better. I had way more blue cheese than bacon jam so it was a bit over powering to where I couldn't even taste the bacon jam..but again the flavor and cook was great. I didn't taste the other food items but they looked great and who did eat them said they were good

It is their senior year, so it was our last chance so we made sure to stop. We came in on a Monday around 1 pm. I had made a reservation, but not needed The waitress promptly brought us menus. There were five other tables occupied. We waited 25 minutes (I started a stop watch after 10) and the waitress never came back to take our order, bring us water or see if we had any questions. We had the menu down. I tried to flag her down but she ignored us. So we got up and left. All in all a very disappointing experience. We were so looking forward to it, the music was great, the food smelled great. But the service was beyond horrible. .

We had our dog with us so we only planted to get carry out, and then we discovered a shaded patio. We decided to stay and eat outside. I was standing at the host stand for quite a while because I hadn't noticed the seat yourself sign. I had also walked in the restaurant and was looking around for any employee - two servers at a table saw me standing there looking confused but then just went right back into the kitchen. When another guest pointed out the sign, I thought well that's great but if we want to sit outside will they ever know we are there. Someone finally returned to the bar and we were able to get a server. We ended up ordering three appetizers - skoat balls, cheese sticks, peach Burrata. All three good. I also ordered a blueberry mint mocktail beer that was actually quite disappointing. It was also quite a charming little town! Would like to go back again sometime, sadly that is unlikely to ever happen.
