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.

Nowhere else I've been has chicken gravy (with chunks of real chicken) instead of the regular brown gravy. They mix in the cheese curds with the perfectly done fries, instead of just dropping them on top, so you have cheese in each bite. I'd like to finish up my meal with a delicious Farquar's Dairy ice cream (so effing creamy), but I'm usually too full from the small poutine to have them together. It's a coin flip as to which one I get. :)
Small poutine, giant flavour.

VERY RUDE OF THE WAITRESS & POOR QUALITY OF FOODS. DO NOT WASTE THE $$$ TO EAT HERE!!!!!…read more Oct 12, 2025 - I ordered the battered fish and chips from the lunch menu; my friends and I agreed that the portion of the fillet is very small and quite fishy (not fresh); about my own order, I substituted the chips with "vegetable" but the restaurant was only gave the carrots. At $25.99 plus tips and taxes so it costs over $30 it's overpriced for junk foods The services were terrible as one of the waitress, the chubby one was very rude when I told her that she messed up my order. It's no apology for the mistakes she made and yelled at me for not paying attention when I ordered my foods. It seems she was trying to excuse the situation she caused. Meanwhile, this waitress was questioning me in front of other customers and very confrontational. I addressed my concerns to her it's UNACCEPTABLE ATTITUDE to the customers. The owner should not hire this type of people as the front end worker. I did report the situation to another person who was working at the cashier area. I hope the owner should investigate this situation at least .... AWFUL EXPERIENCE I NEVER EVEN HAD

Honestly, who does that snd WHY??? Recommend the food is ok and hope no one else gets that hateful look like I did. We have a name for women like that but I'll remain polite and not say it.

There are a few other places to eat in the area; however, we're in a mood for a brewery. This place was clean and well kept! They had sitting on a deck around the front and along the back as well as indoor dining. Our server, Boggy, was terrific! He was personal and professional, keeping us informed and checking on us throughout our late lunch. I ordered an adult beverage and my wife ordered a peach spritzer. Their sweepstakes IPA was absolutely delicious! No question on what it was wanting to be! I decided on their prime rib burger with poutine fries while my wife decided on a grilled chicken sandwich with no bun. Our meals came out relatively quickly. Even though the burger was required to be well done by provincial health standards, it was moist and tender! We really enjoyed our meal! If we were in the area, I know we would be back often! Thank you again Boggy!

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!
