Ate breakfast here a few months ago while I was staying at the Best Western. No problem then with…read morethe service or the food back then. This time around the service was... well, I'll have to say it was bizarre. I ordered a spicy cheeseburger and fries to dine in and Thai chicken bits to go. Waiter did not have a clue about the specials or the menu items in general. I asked for an unsweetened iced tea and got sweet tea which I returned and got water. Food was ready pretty quickly, however, he tried to hand my plate with the burger and fries to me while I was standing at the ATM getting cash, I told him that it'd be great if he put my food on the table, and he did (Albeit sans silverware or napkins so I walked to the waitstaff station and helped myself). As I was eating he stopped by to see if I needed anything else and I said I'd like for him to provide Thai chicken bits. He explained that I had ordered them to go and would be presented with that portion of my order after I finished my burger and fries. While I was still eating he stopped by again and asked if I'd be needing anything else or if I wanted my check. Having been enlightened earlier with the knowledge that under no circumstances would I get my Thai chicken bits until I finished my burger and fries, I told him yes, bring the check. He came back and stood next to me and figured out the check, then placed the wi-fi credit card reader thing on the table next to my unfinished plate of food. He stood nearly at attention (a bit creepy) and waited while I wiped the grease and ketchup off of my hands and fished my wallet out to pay this fine young waiter. BTW the food was pretty good, about what I expect from Denny's. I almost didn't leave the waiter a tip but felt a little sorry for the guy for having put him through the traumatic experience of serving me a burger and fries so I left $5. It may be the last tip he ever receives.

Nice to have another restaurant for classic breakfasts - especially in the FSJ area. Took a…read morechance, checked it out, and am glad I did! Arrived early morning, about 7am. Restaurant was very clean and the front staff were friendly and inviting. Throughout my meal the server was attentive and accommodating to my picky requests :) Got a chance to interact with several of the friendly staff while munching away. Was especially impressed by the supervisor on shift (morning of June 20). Somehow she noticed that I love orange marmalade and made sure my second order of toast included extra marmalade packets. Little things like that mean a lot! Maybe I'm weird, but I love clean bathrooms and always notice when they are attended properly. The bathrooms here were awesome! (i.e clean, good flush pressure, proper water faucets, soap dispenser works, towel dispenser works). Anyways, love this place and will be coming back for sure.

It sounded different so I decided to give it a shot, and I'm really glad I did! Quite frankly, it was more like a bisque, and the flavours were fantastic! For my main I had the Scallop & Prawns Jambalaya. I'm always a little hesitant to order anything with seafood from a restaurant that I haven't been to before, but this time it was an excellent choice. Both the scallops and prawns tasted very fresh and the 'spicyness' and the flavours of the meal was well balanced, so just a little 'bite' but not HOT. Just perfect! As it looks like I'll be here for another couple days? I will definitely be back!

I was craving chow mein So ordered the chicken chow mein. It wasn't what I expected. It was served in a Fold Pak takeout container which is a cute nod to Chinese takeout food. The noodles were oversauced in a honey garlic tasting sauce. Way too sweet and very little chicken. It was slimy and gross. The noodles were soft and had no crunch. Disappointed. I also ordered the basket of Jumbo Shrimp that are regular shrimp breaded to look jumbo. Comes with dipping sauce. Had to take off the breading as it was bland but with good crunch. The cool thing about this place is their utensils. The silverware handles have sports equipment shapes. The forks have a hockey stick handle and the knife has a golf club handle. Their full menu is an awesome read. Very witty and punny. Also there are call buttons at every table so you can call on wait staff when need I might come back and try their regular pub fare.

And about the menu, if you have ever seen one of the Restaurant Makeover type shows on TV, the first thing they would do is reduce the items on this menu by two thirds. The menu is MASSIVE. Everything from 6 types of eggs benedict to japanese gyoza to steak and lobster to you name it, its probably here. In trying to please everyone, I think they have missed specializing in anything. I have had omelettes and the 'breakfast platter' at breakfast time, both of which were filling and came out hot and eggs cooked perfectly. I have also had the Mondo Burger. Go hungry if you are going to attempt this giant. The thing is massive and smothered in wonderful barbecue sauce (ask for extra napkins). I will take a picture next time I go in the evening, you need to see it to believe how big it is. Avoid the fries, they are extremely dry. I would describe the interior as 'Truck-stop-tries-to-masquerade-as-restaurant'. Could desperately use some updating or something, anything modern. A good start would be some new furniture. And what's with the deck sitting unused? A beautiful deck out back full of broken down junk. not too appealing as I walk from the parking lot to the entrance. At least they hide it well so the old broken bbq's and stacks of crap can't be seen from inside the seating area. The washrooms have been well stocked and clean every time I've been here. The waitstaff do a pretty decent job, considering the other venues in this town. Although if you go for breakfast, be prepared to have your coffee cup re-filled so often that you have to hide it behind the napkin holder so they stop pestering you to fill it to the rim after every sip. If they don't think you have a cup of coffee, they will leave you alone. I am so serious on this one folks, not a word of exaggeration, it gets annoying. However it does take a while to fill drink orders in the evening, strange... The prices are a bit on the high side with the Mondo Burger coming in at about $18 and breakfast averaging about $11. Still not as bad as Silvercreek for breakfast. I like it here and I will be going back for sure. We were thinking about having a Mondo Burger eating contest with the loser paying for all the Mondo Burgers eaten, but it hasn't happened yet, will keep this review updated if it does.

I'm going to be frank - we wouldn't come for the food because everything we ordered was pretty bad…read more That said, we sat outside on a beautiful night enjoying the patio and service was ok. If I was judging purely on food though, I'd give it a 1 star at most. We'd never been here, so we asked our server for recommendations on an appetizer. She admitted she was pretty new, but lots of people ordered the pork shumai ($14). I should have trusted my gut that this would not be anything like a shumai. They came out in a steamer with 5 dumplings inside and a tart ginger-y dipping sauce. The wonton wrapper bottom didn't even attempt to stick to the filling - it fell off the minute you touched it, and it was so oversteamed it basically disintegrated into a soft mess. The filling itself was a very dry pork meatball. Nothing at all like a moist shumai filling should be. Flavour was weird, texture was weird and we didn't finish it. I ordered the small ribs ($18) because it came with cornbread and coleslaw, and those are some of my favourite things. I also got to choose a side, and I chose onion rings. The ribs are listed on the menu as coming in a feature BBQ sauce that changes weekly. I unfortunately was there on the "weird tomato sauce that was basically a sweet marinara moreso than a BBQ sauce" week. It was a thick layer ladled onto the ribs that I scraped off. The ribs themselves were dry and super fatty. I was also mad that the cornbread was placed right in the middle of the sauce, so the one side got super soggy as it soaked it up. Also flavourless and and dry. Coleslaw was fine, and the onion rings were hot, crispy and sprinkled with a heavy shake of salt. My guest ordered honey garlic wings ($13) and for an extra $6, added two sides to make it a meal. She chose fries and sweet potato fries (don't potato-shame) and a side of gravy. The wings were small, dry and overcooked. Definitely not moist. Fries x2 were soft and felt undercooked. Overall, very meh food. We didn't enjoy our meals in the least. Our server was new, so we didn't hold it against her when she asked how it was and she basically shrugged after our feedback. We liked their wine selection, and sitting on the patio was lovely with a view of the water.

Complete with working hay loft and fiddle contests this dive bar was crucial in my formative years as a budding alcoholic. The building was purchased in 1999, found structurally lacking, torn down and replaced with this pub which has become a community favorite ever since. The bar featured daily gastropub quality food and cocktail specials as well as Wednesday night karaoke, popular with both the sober and soused patrons. The original owners/managers retired last year leaving the pub vacant for several months. The new owners reopened without the original kitchen and wait staff and the experience wasn't quite the same. I slowly stopped going here. Flash forward to yesterday, imagine my pleasure in finding the special board featuring two of my all time Dundee favorites. Root beer paralyzers and ham and lentil soup. The paralyzers were unqualified in quality and three of them quickly evaporated on my tongue. The soup though flavorful and savory must have been simmering for a long time as all the vegetables had turned to mush. All the other specials were extravagantly priced (seafood linguine at $24) seems a bit much. I did have a pleasant chat with the young lady waiting the tables. I learned the pub features local musicians of various genres, including a recent performance by the talented duo "Twin Peaks". These two are destined for greatness, a must see if you get a chance. Check out Jackfishes facebook page for upcoming acts and dates. Meantime drop by, say hi and try one of these paralyzers, or maybe two.
