Popular pub in the center of water Street in downtown St. John's Newfoundland…read more The menu for me was somewhat limited, but I had the turkey noodle soup, which was quite good. Unfortunately, the bar was out of the two draft beers that I was interested in. I ended up getting a Coors light, which, really sucks if you think about it, since I'm from Colorado. If I ever go back, I need to learn more about Canadian beer. Still, it was a great place to stop for lunch while I walked and shopped Water Street.

Linda and her late husband, Bobby, opened the restaurant in 1977 to supplement their income from their declining grocery store. As promised, she was full of stories. She's in her late 60s and kept us entertained. The place is overflowing with things Linda has collected and things that have been given to her over the years. There are 1500+ spoons, lots of pictures, army helmets ... you name it! This is a large collection of cards ... not only business cards but driver's licenses, university IDs, etc. Apparently kids stop by after having a few too many and leave their important IDs (because they don't have business cards) under the glass ... they probably don't think it's such a grand idea the next day once they have sobered up. Barb helps Linda out at the bar. She lives down the street and had some great stories too. If you are in the Quidi Vidi area, you have to stop in and visit this place. Linda and Barb are very friendly and it's quite an experience.

This is a very unique place on Quidi Vidi. It has a real authentic Newfie vibe. You can only see…read moresomething like this either in real time or it's fake on a movie set. This is the real deal. If you want to be screeched in this is the place to do it. Go see Linda the owner and she will set you up. Today, my colleague got "screeched in". This process involves getting a shot of 90% alcohol homemade rum, she brings the frozen puffin which is over 20 years old preserved cryogenic style and you kiss the puffin bum. We watched a young gentleman get screeched in as well and she said "I'm going to have a wet dream about you". You get a signed certificate after issue by the Royal Order. You have to see it to believe it. Screeched ! (Warning this is not the place for the faint of heart)

For me, the best part about stopping at an Irving is eating at a Big stop Restaurant. I wasn't on a road trip but since I was in St. John's for the long weekend and so I made a point of coming for breakfast while I was here. Fast and friendly service. Clean restaurant setting and generous portions leave you feeling completely satisfied when you leave. Being a veggie, I ordered the veggie omelet which was accompanied by toast and hash brown potatoes - which was great. Their coffee is actually very good. I'd take it over other coffee franchise any day. The prices are very reasonable for what you get. $11.99 for the veggie omelet. Next time you see an Irving Big Stop - give it a try! You won't be disappointed.

Though the Air Conditioner hangs down right over the server area, and shoots cold air directly on the customers with no diffuser, and appears the staff don't use the thermostat as AC control (they just put the thermostat on full or none, instead of setting a set point on the thermostat for the AC unit to just cut in when needed).

We have eaten in this restaurant several times. In 2009 on our first visit Chef Denis recommended…read morethat to enjoy cod it should be pan fried. We found that his determination was correct as far as we were concerned. We had come to the Winterton Family Restaurant whenever we were in the local area. The restaurant is an American style dining establishment, but being in Newfoundland, expect a leaning towards the local fishing industry - pan fried cod is a popular menu item. Chef Denis also very high on his "wings". We have tried a number of items form the menu, they have all been outstanding choices. Helping Denis are servers Suzanne and Emily (along with Denis' Mom).
