    Burger special.
    Gail R.

    Awesome food and fast service. Best burger I have had in a long time. Great place. We stopped in while camping in the area. Delicious fries too. Big portions.

    Had to come here as my buddy has been raving about it all year. The mother clucker was amazing, what they did with chicken breast is a miracle. I would have guessed it was thigh with how it wasn't dry. I'm not a fries guy but wow, I was sickened by how much I had eaten. The only reason I've got to go with a 4 stars is the poutine does not come with cheese curds but rather shredded mozzarella which is just abhorrent

    I was happy with the good service and juicy burger with fries for a very good price. It will be my go to burger spot in Thunder Bay.

    4.5/5 We ordered on…read moreUberEats after hearing many great things about this place. In terms of burgers, we ordered a Signature burger and a Stack It Up burger. The Stack It Up burger was much larger (in height and diameter), for a couple of dollars extra, I'd say it's worth going for it over the Signature. The beef patties were juicy and well-seasoned. Considering a Big Mac is $6+, a Stack It Up burger is for sure worth it at $8.50. Now, regarding the large poutine we ordered. This was such a pleasant surprise. It was HUGE and they gave us such a generous heaping of cheese curds and gravy. It definitely satisfied my poutine craving. As for the onion rings, they were pretty standard. Nothing spectacular, and a bit pricey. Overall, for the fact that I have high standards for burgers, I was pretty impressed. I'd come here again and would recommend checking this place out if you're looking for a good burger spot in Thunder Bay.

No bacon no extravagant ingredients to justify that cost. didn't really think much of it cause I was expecting a top of the line burger. My buddy ordered a burger with one paddy and with a tip only cost 7 dollars. It's not the cost I have to complain about, the burger was disgusting. It was falling apart, messiest burger I've ever attempted eating. Definitely not going back any time soon. Hope they do well and fix that burger

    If you ever find yourself in Thunder Bay -- Tomlin is absolutely a MUST. Arguably the most upscale…read morerestaurant in town, it doesn't have a pretentiousness that you encounter at some places. Rather, the friendly service, innovative cookery, and high quality, locally sourced ingredients speak for themselves. I was in town to celebrate my birthday and this place was so special. Also if you want something a little more casual, they have a pizza place a few blocks away tucked inside a brewery, which is also fantastic!

    I finally got to try the tasting menu with a group of 6! We opted for the cheaper option ($65 pp)…read more We arrived on a Friday night at 8pm and dinner went until nearly 11pm! I think they originally intended to give us oysters or tartare but because it was so late into the evening, they made something else. You can tell the chefs/cooks really do make most things from scratch because the wait/gap between courses was quite long (~30-40 min). We got to try a total of 11-12 dishes: 4 appetizers, 2-3 mains (depending if you count the sausage and chicken dish as separate or one), 2 sides, and 3 desserts. I have no idea if/how the dish count fluctuates depending on group size. We were told that the tasting menu differs every night and even between parties/tables on the same night -- they change it up depending on group preferences, dietary restrictions, and ingredient inventory. Overall, I really enjoyed our meal. The portions were generous and filling, and the variety was nice. I would say the appetizers (especially the veggies & sauces) were more impressive than the mains. I was hoping for more interesting proteins in the main course, but no complaints on the cook or seasoning. They might save the nicer proteins for the more expensive tasting menu ($85 pp). The desserts were really creative and delicious. Miso in a dessert is definitely innovative! I wish I could tell you the names of every dish, but I could barely hear the server / remember what everything was. From what I know, everything except for the desserts aren't on the regular menu anyway. Overall, I had a wonderful time and would recommend trying the tasting menu for an interesting and filling culinary experience! It certainly is good value, as you wouldn't be able to find a tasting menu of this quality/price in Toronto! Note: Tomlin only accepts reservations for groups of 6 or more.
