I for one am real glad that they made it through and are now open once again for dine in Great rustic ambience and charm that truly complements the food and hospitality PS: I wish they decide to serve their corn bread in smaller portions

Aug 28th. Ordered the sampler with ribs, pulled rock and brisket, fries and coleslaw sides and an…read moreorder of burnt ends. Ribs - salty and a little tough. Not fall off the bone as they were the year before. Pulled pork - not good at all. Had a vinegar flavour and really disappointed. Brisket - incredible and to die for. Al least one dish was great. Fries and slaw were very good. Burnt ends - for $17 you got 5 pieces swimming in a sea of sauce. 1/2 were flavorful and 1/2 so rock hard and impossible to chew. Overall this is the worst experience we have had with this take out. We get takeout every year once or twice each time we are up in the blue mountain. May need to try a chain like Montana's next time as we were so disappointed this time.

First visit to Montana's, while visiting the Collingwood area…read more The facility is welcoming and the decor has a Texas feel. Rustic, but clean and unique. We were immediately welcomed at the entrance by a friendly smile and asked for our preferred seating - we chose to sit in the bar area. Our waitress / bar keep was super attentive, which made our experience very nice! The ribs were delicious, and the sauces just as good too. The 2 of us shared the large meal. There was plenty to eat, and some to take away. Overall, Montana's is a nice meal with excellent service. We'll definitely visit when we're in the area.

A couple Saturdays ago, I was running a few errands. Once I was done, I felt like visiting a diner for lunch. I did a search and found Poached Dreams Diner in Aurora. I didn't mind driving up from Markham to check it out. It was straightforward getting here. I parked in the parking lot and walked in from what looked like the back of the diner. There's also a front door with a patio that faces Wellington Street East. I was immediately greeted by a young, enthusiast woman. I let her know that I needed a table for one. She got me to a comfortable booth by the window. The catch is that you have to watch your step to get to your seat. It's a treat when I have breakfast out. I thought that I'd be getting french toast. Well, all that changed when I saw a heading for comfort foods on the menu. Nothing makes me happier than seeing open-faced sandwiches on a menu. It was probably during my days living in Winnipeg that I fell in love with such sandwiches and at least a side. New goal: come here and have every open-faced sandwich on the menu. I got cold water to start. It was refreshing and much needed after running errands. I ordered these items for my meal: - Diet Coke (2) - Hot turkey sandwich with mashed potatoes and veggies My Diet Coke came with a glass with ice. I loved it. I wish the can was larger! I needed a second can for dessert. I loved my hot turkey sandwich. There was a generous amount of sliced turkey smothered in sauce over a slice of white bread. I got to choose my starch. I went with mashed potatoes. There was enough gravy over the turkey that I dunked my spoonfuls of mashed potatoes into it. I loved the steamed veggies. They were perfectly cooked. They also went into the gravy. The meal was delicious. I'd order it again. I felt like dessert. I asked if there was any. Baklava with pistachios. I said yes. I thought that it would be a square or rectangle. Nope. I got a roll. Cool! It was perfect. It had the right amount of honey. It was crispy and yummy. So good! I paid my bill at the table. I tipped and then tapped my credit card. I elected to have the receipt texted to my phone, which also signed me up for its points program. Yay! I learned that this diner has been open since June 2025. I'm always late to any party because I seem to live under a rock or in a cave. I'm glad that I visited this eatery. Great food. Great service. Great! I used the washroom before I left. The women's washroom was clean and had a full-length mirror. This eatery is huge. It looks like there's a cafe for those grabbing coffee and maybe a snack before leaving. I look forward to returning for more good eats and drinks. (148)

Upon entering, the space is super spacious and clean. My friend ordered their 2 egg special with bacon, and I ordered their soup and sandwich combo ($12/13). I decided to go with their tuna salad and chicken noodle soup. Upon recommendation from our server, I also ordered their cappuccino- it was very delicious. Amazing food and great service, I would like to come back and try some of their dinners dishes.

We waited 45mins for food and then receiving it because we wondered how long we had to wait. Told it was because I ordered my steak well done. The food was cold. We requested a spicy buffalo burger came out sweet. Gravy gloopy. Burger dry. Then we asked for the bill and just sat and waited some more. The place was locked up - they forget we were still there! Lady brings the bill out and expected a tip. Sorry I can't tip for poor service. Then she told me she works hard hard and has a son to provide for - made to feel guilty. I didn't like this. If the service was good of course I would tip, I was so sad that no one really cared to want to serve us.

Lots of cheese, the pull was crazy. This will be our new regular spot when in the St. Jacob's Market area!
