    We were fortunate to find Nate on our travels and he cooks up some great barbecue! Nate is a wonderful host, cooks on a smoker right in the parking lot where there is plenty of outdoor seating. A teepee with tables and a guitar shaped wood burning stove provides seating when the weather turns. We had the barbecue ribs with mac & cheese which was delicious! The portions were huge - hubby and I could easily have shared the 1/2 rack dinner but we happily heated up the leftovers for dinner a second night. I highly recommend trying out Nate's food - you won't be disappointed.

    The food was absolutely amazing some of the best spaghetti and meatballs I have had the service was amazing as well

    Cute place!!

    On a road trip up to Canada and wanted to stop for lunch and I'm so glad we did! It was very friendly quick service we sat outside at the picnic tables but you can also sit in the teepee if you want! We got some hot dogs with about any kind of toppings you'd like! You HAVE to get the poutine with beef on top it was delicious some of the best I have had! Enjoy

    Wow! I was so pleasantly surprised by Motown Nates. Really really good! They have weekly specials too. The fish tacos were fresh and very tasty. The fries are huge so get them to share!

    The food was amazing! The ambiance was casual. The service was quick overall. It was not crowded when we went. We split a Philly cheesesteak, and fries, and our friends got a pulled pork, a BLT and onion rings. Everything was really delicious.

    This was a great find! We stumbled across the restaurant while heading out of the Soo. The burgers, poutine, nachos, and Piña Colada shakes were all amazing. Staff was super friendly!

    Outstanding food! We ordered the street tacos and the brisket sandwich with slaw. Both were excellent.

    Wasn't expecting a food truck, but there was a teepee that you could eat in. Food was good with limited menu.

    Stopped in late March for something to eat after a day at the Locks. It appeared relatively empty…read morebut it's a good sized place so it's a bit deceiving to see how many people are there. The lighting is good and the overall atmosphere was chill. Music played in the background and didn't interfere with conversation. 20 beers on tap. A huge bar. A pool table. All kinds of fun to be had! So, let's talk food. A simple front and back menu loaded with goodies. Two different Rueben appetizers speak to the passion of an Irish Pub. It's in the Sault, however, and the fish is the real steal of the show. I judge that everything on this menu is made with care and comes out delicious. The perch are deep fried, light and tender. Their "famous" questo tastes a lot like grandma's rotel and is absolutely delicious. Beers, Bloody Mary's, Fish, Irish fare, burgers, quality service, and plenty of seating make this place a worthy stop for nearly every audience. Come on in and you won't be disappointed. (the prices are too low to mention, imo)

    Moloney's is a cozy eatery downtown Sault Ste Marie. It is set in an older building. You will…read morelove the wood floors, brick walls, plaster tiled ceiling and attractive bar area. Things were very clean and orderly - even the restrooms. The booths were spacious comfortable. The menu is fairly large and prices are decent. The team here is very friendly and hustles. There was not enough waitress scheduled to handle the post locks crowd. They were spread very thin. The food coming out of the kitchen was very slow as well. We were seated by the window where the food comes out. I was shocked at how long many items sat waiting on a waitress and that there was no heat lamp to help keep food warm. Our sweet potato fries came out cold. The fried pickles were okay. The dill chip was moderately thick with a heavy breading. The chip was touch and couldn't be bit into. The breading was nice and firm and a bit oily. The Cole slaw was pretty good - finely cut cabbage pieces with a thin mayo-vinegar taste. The onion rings were also good. Some rings had a thicker piece of onion. The batter was thick and a bit greasy. The garlic Parmesan wings were okay. The basket consisted of 8 small wings. The wings were battered and fried. The insides were a solid white and fairly moist. The batter was bit crunchy which was nice. The garlic Parmesan sauce didn't really have much garlic or Parmesan taste. It seemed to be a heavy buttery flavor with maybe some seasoning.
