The onion soup was really cheesy which I like and the broth wasn't overly salty. And the surprise of the meal was the onion rings - I usually don't like overly battered rings but this batter was sweet, almost like uber fried donut, which I liked. The strawberry rhubarb pie to end the meal was packed, though just a bit too sweet. Overall service was friendly and efficient. The Codmothers has offers you just can't refuse. Stop by if you're in Manitoulin.

Wow! What a great accidental discovery we made! We began our journey home to Alberta and were…read morelooking for somewhere to eat for a late lunch. When a little sign said "Fresh Walleye! Fish and Chips". Being from landlocked Alberta, we have being trying to eat as much local seafood as we could on this trip. So we stopped in to this unassuming food trailer. I went with the Fresh Huron Walleye with chips and coleslaw (18.00 bucks), two of my family members went with the Walleye sandwiches and they spit fries with my youngest. The portions were HUGE. My only complaint of my dish is that there was way too many fries and not enough coleslaw. I would have liked to see more of a balance (look at my photo). The fish was amazing, and probably one of the best we had on the trip. We definitely didn't need the extra order of fries, we could have all four of us split mine and been full. Love the little picnic tables to sit at. Definitely worth the stop. If we ever on that highway again, we will be there!

They were MAD busy with a lunch rush. We ordered double burgers with bacon, poutine(pronounced Putin), and sausage with pierogies. The burgers were hand packed 1/4 pounders, juicy and scrumptious. The sausage was of a local origin and the pierogies, we believe, were hand made. The poutine, a side, came on a huge plate that neither of us finished. Our waitress was great, very stressed out but sweet and attentive.

It's large with two different seating areas to choose from; one is a more formal dining are and the other a bit more casual with a great pool table. Washrooms were nice and clean, there's a cute little vanity in it We sat in the dining area this time. They have a great big balcony that over looks the blind river. We were hoping to sit out there and enjoy lunch with the wonderful view but were foiled by the weather. Next time we are going to park ourselves outside! The server was new and super sweet. Very attentive and ready to answer any questions. I got the fish and chips and my cousin got the cheese steak ( I think it might be called something else, sorry) I must say the fish and chips were absolutely perfect, moist and succulent, not greasy and limp like you sometimes get. The fries were just the way I like them too, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. I had tried a bite of the sandwich and it was also really great. I think I'm going to try it next time I go there. Will be back. The food was great, love the decor and ambience, and the staff was really helpful. Thumbs up

Next day for breakfast, it was much faster and consistently delicious. Also their eggs Benedict is quite literally one of the best I've ever had.
