beds uncomfortably Get to our room flys every where will never stay here ever again do not recommendread more

One thing I do like about small towns is the great comfort food available…read more Parking is available along Park. Those who are observant will also notice that the other side of the parking lot was the location of the first air mail flight in Manitoba (1927). Look for the stone mini-monument. The inside looks like most other small-town pubs, with the dated wood paneling. The bar itself is on a raised area at the back. There is a dance floor as well, but it seemed like nobody used it. There is an actual mini-liquor store in the very back, around the back of the bar counter. Good to know as the local MLCC (government liquor store) closes early most days. The other thing to mention is that this hotel also has a Chinese restaurant, accessed through a side door next to the bar counter. See my review of Lake View Restaurant. On Fridays and Saturdays, there is a steak night. Seriously, you have to hit this up. I had the 16oz T-bone. This dish comes with onion rings and coleslaw by default. You can pick between wedges and fries (I chose wedges). The steak is one of the better ones in recent memory. No gristle or tendons, and a very decent cut. Served with sauteed mushrooms on top. The bun was meh, and the onion rings and potato wedges were also nothing special. I enjoyed the coleslaw though. Really liked how they didn't drown the thing in dressing. 4 stars for the steak, and 3.5 stars after factoring in the sides.

In the wonderful town of Lac du Bonnet, this is pretty much the only place to buy take-home liquor…read morein a 20km radius. They have the market cornered. Parking is available in front. The inside is somewhat well stocked. Pretty much everything I was looking for was available. Staff were quite friendly, though surprisingly they didn't all know where the "Manitoba liquor" was located. My one biggest gripe is that the place closes early (around 1800) every night except for Friday. Makes it almost impossible to get stuff if you work outside the surrounding area.

Horrible store!!!!!! I am 31, I honestly told the female clerk that I had drank a few drinks…read morebefore I went there to buy a bottle of liquor. I admit I had about 4 beers before I went in but was not slurring and sound of mind. The woman at the register then said she can not sell me alcohol because my eyes were a little red (by the way I have very bad seasonal allergies and ten minutes outside in certain areas causes my eyes to water and become red). When I questioned why, she stopped talking and ignored me all together but my payment already went through. I then had to sit there and be embarrassed and refused service while I was refunded. If there is a policy that somehow makes this woman's behaviour acceptable, I recommend the store take a serious look at their policies and or hiring practices. Manitoba liquor commission should hire people who do not make judgements based on the way someone looks and just do their jobs. Regardless of what judgements you make about me I believe service should be the same for everyone!! I felt that I was mistreated and pre judged and I do not believe I was treated in a fair and just manner!! By the way this happened ten minutes ago so if you believe the clerk, I find it odd that I can articulate my thoughts in a clear and concise manner but I am somehow deemed unacceptable enough to legally buy alcohol!! I am pissed off and I will buy my liquor in the city before heading out to the cabin from now on!!!

Came here to get some gas. If you're approaching Lac du Bonnet from the NE, this is pretty much…read morethe first thing you'll come across. The gas station is pretty tiny, but it does have a convenience store attached. I dare not ask how old the bags of chips on the wall are though. As for something special about this station - if you came here in a snowmobile, you have to pay before pulling away from the pumps. Guess some snowmobilers did a gas n' dash in the past. See my other review for the attached restaurant (Drifter's Inn).

2 weeks ago, had breakfast here while charging during our cross-Canada road trip…read more Interesting layout, since it's adjoined to a gas station/shop, but the restaurant side is pretty cozy. The staff taking our order was friendly and helpful. We told her we'd be dining in, so she brought condiments and share plates out to us. She also gave us an extra free coffee. When our food was ready, she brought it over to our table. There was only one other person dining in, who appeared to be a regular sitting with his coffee while reading a newspaper. There were quite a few takeout orders, so you know this is the local spot to grab food from. The Big Bear Breakfast was pretty hearty, so we shared it. Everything was cooked well and the side hash browns were seasoned well, being crispy on the outside. It was my first time trying an Apple Jack. I only wish it was served warm though. Didn't expect much, but it was a good comfort food spot. Their menu is massive, so I'm sure there were other items that would have been great too.

Poor customer service at the counter in restaurant / they don't seem very pleasant What so ever…read more will not be eating here anymore. at least until I see some new faces. I shouldn't be spoken to with attitude just for coming to to get some food lol
