3.5/5 I've been here…read moretwice and have had one subpar experience and one excellent experience. Average it out and I give it 3.5/5. The first time I came here service was poor. It took almost 30 minutes for my friend and I to be served at the bar. The first time I was here I had the roundhouse mac n cheese. It was good though nothing special, but the poor service definitely cancelled out what was decent food. The second time I came here on a work dinner, where we somehow stuffed almost 20 people on a long table. Service was a lot better, though maybe it was because I was with a large group. I went during poutine week, so I had the Taco Mac n Cheese Poutine. The mac n cheese was actually mac n cheese bites, which was ehh...but I liked the concept! Cheese curds are good, size was generous, and the nacho beef was cooked well and juicy. So to cancel both visits out, I'll leave is as 3.5/5 for now. If I get good service next visit I'll be happy to bump this up to a 4.

We walked in with accessibility needs, and they happily sat us down in the lower level at our convenience, at a large table (two tables together) so that we could get our group arranged with ease. They happily provided as much water as we needed throughout our time. Service was prompt and attentive. The ambiance was only okay, especially being in a side room; the main room is 3 steps up but felt more like the body of a restaurant vs. the trailer of a classic NJ diner. We also all had to walk up in the end and pay separate checks instead of getting 1 or more checks delivered to our table. Diner style, sure, but not what we were expecting coming in. So I would say, between the food (we all really went breakfast-oriented), the service, and the atmosphere, it's somewhere around 4 stars on average. Not a bad place for breakfast or lunch if you can find it (it's not in the most walkable neighborhood).

I work nearby here and came on the last day of burger week, because their burger was being ranked top 5 in all of Canada. I had to see what the hype was about, and sure enough the hype was justified. Their burger was a Whiskey King burger, which included their Whiskey River grilling sauce, cheese, glazed bacon, fried egg, onion rings, and your typical add-ons on a pretzel bun. It came with a cream of mushroom soup. The soup really caught me off guard. It was AMAZING. The mushroom pieces were plentiful and you can tell it was homemade, not canned. The burger looks like a giant tower and I was afraid to cause a mess, but it was delicious! I especially loved their burger and the bun that was used. You wouldn't think a town as small as Bird's Hill would house an amazing restaurant like this, but here we are. Definitely worth a visit if you have a car!

My mother, sister, and I went to Stella's on Grant on Friday, April 18th and each ordered the house salad with chicken. The service was great, and the food tasted good. Shortly after, all three of us began feeling unwell with similar stomach-related symptoms. None of us had eaten anything else that day. The next morning (April 19th), my mom called the restaurant to express concern that the salads may have caused us to feel unwell. When my mom explained that we had all gotten sick after eating at the restaurant, the first thing the manager said was that Stella's only uses the freshest ingredients. My mom clarified that she wasn't calling to make demands, but simply to report that we had all eaten the same meal at their restaurant and felt ill with similar symptoms shortly afterward. The manager said she would notify the kitchen, hoped we felt better -- and that was it. To add context, my mom and sister have both regularly ordered that same salad from this location in the past without any issues. We understand that illness can happen for many different reasons, and we weren't expecting the restaurant to accept fault without first conducting a proper review. Even so, we had hoped for a response at the outset of the call that reflected care and concern -- one that acknowledged the situation, prioritized guest well-being, and reassured us that it would be taken seriously. While the manager did eventually say she would inform the kitchen, that only came after my mom made it clear she wasn't asking for anything, like a comped meal. Further, while the freshness of Stella's ingredients is relevant given the concerns we raised, for the manager to lead with that -- as her first response to a customer reporting that she and two family members became sick shortly after dining -- came across as defensive rather than empathetic or solution-oriented. I appreciate the manager may not have been in a position to assume responsibility on behalf of Stella's for our illness; however, simply making us feel heard, taken seriously, and treated with care would have gone a long way. Overall, the way our concerns were handled left us disappointed.

This past Tuesday, a friend and I went there for dinner before the Dasha concert down the street at the Park Theatre. The lone waitress shared that it was her second shift. The place was packed and we waited an eternity for our drinks, and what should have been an enjoyable dining experience ended up being a tense, unpleasant few hours. The waitress was not to be faulted at all. The management should have known to have another server given that a packed to the rafters concert was going on a block away. The food was great, but I will be hard pressed to go back there again.
