“Nicole was out of this world. Very knowledgeable and sincerely likes her job. She sits at your table and talks with you. I've never seen her write down and order, remembers well.
We remembered her from our last visit.
My dessert was amazing. Deep fried brown sugar cheese cake. Mmmmm.”
“Amazing experience as always. Food was excellent and service was top notch. If you are looking for the best Italian Cuisine in the maritimes then Italian By Night is where we recomend!”
“You gotta try this spot! The staff are so friendly and curteous. Really enjoyed chatting about "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" with the staff. Atmosphere is very cool, low lights, beautiful decor and lovely art. The dim sum was so tender and tasty!! The tonkotsu ramen is easily the best in the province! Excited to come back and try the braised pork belly.”

“My family surprised me with my birthday supper here and I must say I’m so happy with the choice. Not only was the food amazing and not long of a wait at all, but our server Sylvia was the absolute best! She was such a sweet heart, with an awesome personality. She went above and beyond for all of us. Thank you again for everything even that awesome birthday song ❤️
Kid-friendliness: Sylvia was amazing with the kids, joking and laughing with them”

“Had the buttermilk chicken and cashew salad last night, it was a beautiful salad and it was big enough for a meal. It was so delicious and I enjoyed every bite! The dressing was a peanut butter Thai. My husband had a goat cheese bacon burger and he enjoyed every bite as well. The service was friendly and very attentive. We enjoyed our evening out, thanks lily’s cafe!”
“We recently rented out Port City Royal for a small wedding reception. The atmosphere was beautiful, food was amazing, and staff were exceptional. Tom was a breeze to deal with through the entire planning process. Would highly recommend.”
“Took my dad here tonight and he was very impressed. Reasonably priced authentic food experience. Servers were very friendly and courteous. Ribs, egg fried rice, and the sliced pork belly was so good as usual.”

“Had a meal with friends at Taste of Egypt on Saturday. Wonderful service, friendly staff, super yummy food, very creamy hummus! Tried the shawarma poutine, yummy chicken gravy, lots of curds and nice thick home-cut fries. Tried the arayes with yummy kofta beef filling, lovely creamy garlic sauce, all breads were fluffy and soft. Wonderful experience, hibiscus tea was divine.”
“I was in yesterday to celebrate my elderly father's birthday, and we were not disappointed! Our server Kylee was amazing, she went about and beyond to accommodate my father's minced diet, and to be sure he was well looked after.Even going the extra mile to check herself to be sure his sauce for his fish wasn't too thin, so that it would be safe for him to eat. We really appreciated her extra care and concern in this matter. You could tell she really enjoys her job and the people she serves,and really didn't mind making the extra effort for him. The atmosphere was lovely, we all were very happy with our meals. I also can't say enough about kylee for then assisting my father and his gf out to the car with their walkers,as I pulled up to the door so they didn't get wet in the rain. Overall exceeded our expectations and will definitely be back! You Kylee are a rare gem and I will highly recommend to others to come and see you! Thank you for making my father's experience such a comfortable and enjoyable one! You helped make it so easy for us to just relax and enjoy ourselves! Thank you!”
“We went for lunch today at Susanna for the first time. The service, portion, atmosphere were even better with the new shiny location. The taste if it's possible was even better than usual. Congratulations on your new adventure and based on today's visit you have a winner. We will be back soon and will bring friends.”
“Food was amazing!!
I got the new 38 Special which comes with Steak , Scallops ,shrimp and loaded potato with Market vegetables , everything was seasoned perfect and cooked to perfection.
My friend got the steak and baked potato and loved it also.
We came on Halloween night and it wasn't too busy , we got service right away and it was fantastic. We will definitely be back and I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a good steak meal . ?”
“I’ve always loved going here, I recently discovered their lunch menu and it’s amazing. $17 and I’m stuffed. The menu changes weekly and I’ve never been disappointed. The staff is always great. They offer a great variety, good drinks, and the owner always wants his customers to be happy.”
“Had dinner twice there as I was staying at the Hilton. First night got the Nachos, they were pretty nice, good portions and very fresh. Second night was the Fish N Chip, which was disappointing, the tartar sauce felt weak, the batter was soggy, and the fish tasteless. Nice selection of draft beer, but they are over 11$ a pint.”
“Dinner was delicious, beer hit the spot and then dessert….it to was fantastic. Loved the easy atmosphere and our little waitress. Will definitely come again when back this way.”
“The service is top rated and the food just amazing. We are planning to come back soon. Highly recommend it.”

“I recently visited this location , and the staff were fantastic! They were friendly and quick to help, making my experience enjoyable. The team worked together seamlessly, ensuring my order was perfect. I left feeling satisfied and appreciated. Highly recommend this location for great service!”
“I’ve been to McDonald’s a few times and love the Junior Chicken Meal with fries or poutine and a medium Coke—definitely a go-to comfort meal. The Snack Oreo McFlurry with extra Oreo is always a treat, although sometimes I wish they’d add a bit more Oreo to make it perfect.
That said, there are a few areas that could use improvement. The Junior Chicken and fries are not always fresh; on a few occasions, the chicken tasted off, and the fries were soggy or cold, which was really disappointing. The lobby area also tends to be messy, with garbage left uncleared, and it seems like the self-serve station for lids, straws, napkins, and sauces is often not stocked properly. It’s a bit frustrating when you have to hunt for basic items during a busy visit.
While the food can be hit or miss depending on the freshness, the McFlurry and drink are always satisfying. With better attention to cleanliness and food quality, it could be a more consistent and enjoyable experience.
Vegetarian options: McDonald’s doesn’t offer many vegetarian options, which can be disappointing for plant-based eaters. Aside from fries, hotcakes, and burgers without the meat patty (essentially just the bun and veggies), there aren’t many substantial choices.
Parking: While McDonald’s offers plenty of parking, it’s a bit of a letdown when it comes to pedestrian access. The lack of proper sidewalks makes it difficult for people on foot to safely navigate from the parking lot to the entrance.
Kid-friendliness: McDonald’s is definitely a kid-friendly especially with its play area. It’s a great option for families looking to grab a quick meal while letting kids burn off some energy. The menu has plenty of options for little ones too, like Happy Meals, which come with fun toys and a choice of sides like apple slices or fries.”
“We are not from the Saint John area and we stumbled apon this new whiskey bar. We told our host at the door that it was our first time in and she graciously took us on a tour of the whole place. This place has an old town classy vibe with a beautiful outdoor patio. Unfortunately we were to late in the evening to order from thier delicious looking menu but the cocktails made up for that as they were delicious. The hostess was very helpful with the drink menu and recommendations. Hopscotch will definitely be our place to go when in Saint John. We can't wait to come back and try the food menu!”

“If you’re looking for an old fashioned, home cooked breakfast, K’s is the place! Unbelievable! We drove by for years - not noticing this restaurant.
The Maritimer’s Breakfast gave us 2 eggs, thick cut homemade bread (white, whole wheat, or raisin), home fries with onions, baked molasses beans, fish cakes, jams/marmalade, endless coffee… no need for lunch today!!!??? All for under $40 (for the both of us). We’ll be back!”
“I went there tonight with my fiancé, my brother and sister-in-law. As we got there, they were just closed. My sister-in-law said I am so sad because I wanted to try this. It’s my first time and the guy who was working, came to the door and said for you, I’ll let you in. We all got chatting and it was like we were all besties. They were super nice and very friendly and agreed to make a few pizzas for us. They deserve a lot of recognition not many places would do this at all. They took the time and made the pizzas, even though they were going to close and head on their own way. Great service and excellent food as always.❤️❤️”
“I had an amazing experience at Lemongrass! The service was outstanding, and our server Zev went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. The food was absolutely incredible – I had the tacos, and they were bursting with flavor. The atmosphere was beautiful, making the whole dining experience even more enjoyable. Overall, it's a 10/10 for me! I highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for great food, excellent service, and a lovely ambiance.”
“Absolutely amazing staff. I have an autistic son and they go above and beyond to get him to enjoy the food. The food is absolutely amazing. Price is on point. 10 out of 10 and I'm a very picky person. I have not yet been dissatisfied with anything that they've recommended or that I've tried on their menu. The place is so small and cute and so clean”
“I love coming here! The staff are great, as well as the beer and food. I’ve loved everything I’ve ever tried here.”
“I'd 10000% would recommend rockys sports bar to all my friends and family and anyone I see cause I had the most amazing time there October 1st 2024 watching the fights I went by myself and was worried cause I have soical anxiety everyone was so friendly staff / customers by the end of the night I made 6 new friends found a new place I'll definitely be going to again and couldn't be happier with how the night went , everyone should go there cause the environment is awesome food and drinks are really good too , staff are amazing every single one of them it was busy and I was impressed”

“Nice clean friendly atmosphere was a lot of cleaning done in store that day which was very nice to see. The fireplace and stone wall make it very cozy and inviting this is where my gf and I meet up all the time for some downtime to sit relax and chat which I look forward to very much .”
“I went to your restaurant last night at about 6pm. I ordered 1 four piece meal and 2 two piece meals. I was told it would be 15 min for the extra 2 piece as they needed to cook more. Over a half hour later and three "skip the dishes" drivers as well as two separate customers arriving, ordering, and receiving meals including similar parts of our meal ie a 4 piece and a 2 piece. as I could over hear the kitchen staff tell them they didn't cook enough... i still had NOT recieved my order. the proverbial straw that broke my back was when one of the skip drivers returned to your store and recieved his SECOND delivery order. this is by far the WORST service i have ever recieved. the counter person had the audacity to say " sorry for the delay". I was at this store waiting a total of 35 min for barely cooked portions. SHAMEFUL. I will NEVER darken the door of this store. I do not advise anyone else to either.”
“I just wanted to give a huge shoutout to the young man at the window last night around 6 pm. My daughter had a tough day and was crying. He took the time to talk to her and ask what was wrong and then brought her a muffin. It was very sweet of him and certainly brightened her day. Thank you so much. ❤️”
“I just wanted to take a moment to express my admiration and gratitude for the exceptional service at our hometown Wendy’s on the west side.As someone who travels extensively for work, I’ve had the opportunity to visit numerous Wendy’s across North America. I must say, our local Wendy’s stands out as a prime example of excellence. The commitment to quality and service here genuinely embodies the Wendy’s slogan, “Quality is our recipe.”Whether it’s the accuracy of orders or the speed of service, your team consistently hits the mark. On the rare occasions when there’s a hiccup, I’m always impressed by how quickly and graciously your staff works to make things right. This level of customer care and attention to detail is what sets your restaurant apart.I wanted to extend my heartfelt thanks for providing such a reliable and enjoyable dining experience. It’s a comfort and a pleasure to know that no matter where my travels take me, I can always look forward to the outstanding service and quality at our local Wendy’s when I return home.Keep up the fantastic work – you’re doing an amazing job!”
“We've been here a bunch of times over the last few months and have been in at many different times during the day and it's always easy and convenient to come here. The staff is always happy and friendly and provides great quality food and coffee every single time we come in here. Probably one of the best Tim's around.
Vegetarian options: A great egg and cheese sandwich if you just want to skip the meat”
“I stopped in at the drive through to grab a quick dinner while running errands.
I was pleasantly surprised by the friendly and helpful response from the male employee working the drive through window.
I wanted to use some of my Tim Horton’s reward points and he asked for my phone and he helped me to change my reward points choice.
I was happy to receive a free wrap with my points but I was more impressed with the wonderful customer service while I was waiting for my order to be assembled.
We will definitely be back at this location again.
Vegetarian options: We love having vegetarian options as we are vegetarians. Both the Cilantro Lime vegetable wraps and the new cheese pizzas.”
“Wonderful staff, I got there raspberry lemon loaf and a black cold brew the lady searched for the better looking loaf for me I didn’t even ask very fast and kind especially for how busy it was and the lemon loaf is delicious!”

“Been travelling all around New Brunswick trying to find a good coffee shop and this is the place!! The barista is always friendly and so knowledgeable. They also make their own house made syrups. I got an iced matcha with the house made vanilla syrup and it was delicious.”
“The toughest thing about my experience with the Five and Dime was opening their door. It's like it's hermetically sealed to keep the fun inside!
And fun it was!
Cool bar!
Finding the bathroom was an adventure!
But the staff were Great! The Drinks were Great, and competitively priced.
The layout of the space is cool, and the comedy show I saw there was super funny!
I'll be back for sure!”
“Very nice people, clean spot. I'm not sure but I think they are the owners. Good food quality at a very decent price. Location is inside the Uptown mall and seating is available at the food court there. We often go there when in Uptown. I would recommend this place when you are craving for fresh made sushi. Take out available”
“Took my wife here for her birthday. Food was delicious and affordable, service was amazing too. We had the ramen and the bibimbap. I hope to be back soon to try more items off the menu!”
“Finally made it out to Poutinewagon from Moncton. We've been wanting to check out this place for a while and I can confidently say it lives up to the hype. The Donair burger piqued my curiosity and wow did it ever deliver. My partner had the same burger with a regular poutine and the poutine was great. I had regular fries and curiousity got the best of me so I grabbed a Mac Daddy poutine as well and oh my. I saw it being prepared and it was later of deliciousness. It was handed to me and it was a thing a beauty. Everything tasted great and was perfectly cooked. Not a single negative aspect to the experience. Next time we're in or around Saint John, we'll definitely make sure we're hungry again because we'll definitely be stopping by.”
“Amazing seafood chowder I have ever had. Even the wait time for about 40 the chowder was made from the scratch and you can’t complain with that! We are returning soon for dinner”
“Excellent food and on Mondays to Thursdays and Friday at lunch they have a different menu for $23.95: soup, focaccia bread, meal and dessert and tea or offee. Very filling and great price!”
“We went for lunch today at Susanna for the first time. The service, portion, atmosphere were even better with the new shiny location. The taste if it's possible was even better than usual. Congratulations on your new adventure and based on today's visit you have a winner. We will be back soon and will bring friends.”
“Very good service from Moses last night. our first time at Thandi but it certainly won't be the last. great atmosphere and amazing curries! we will be back”
“Great drink specials on beer and wine. Some awesome servers. Now if they would play some better music the place would be perfect. Cheers!
Edit: The music has improved in the last few weeks and it’s much appreciated. Love this local.”

“Happy to say my friend and I went to Tipsy Tomatoe after a manicure right across the parking lot and was greeted by a friendly , polite and helpful waitress. We ordered the hamburger and fries and I must say the hamburger was the best burger I have had in years. The fries could have been a little crisper and less grease but they were tasty. Service and food was great and drinks were happy hour prices . Will definitely be back.”

“As an Indian, when I ask for extra spices, I expect something more on the red chili side, not vinegar. Unfortunately, they gave me extra vinegar instead, which didn’t quite hit the mark. In hindsight, it probably would have been better without the added spice, as I didn’t really enjoy it. However, the fries and other items were quite good”
