“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!

“I ate her for the first time today, had a regular donair it was huge. Lady behind the counter was super friendly, great food and prices!”

“I'm a frequent local and I can say without question the food, atmosphere and staff are all top tier. 10/10 the staff take pride in their work and will do everything to make your meal delicious and memorable with suggestions to cater to your own tastes. The ribs are excellent, wings are delicious, pulled pork is always spot on and the brisket is fire, whether on a sandwich or mac and cheese.
At the bar Jenna makes delicious mixed drinks for all tastes and pairings. In the warmer months the outdoor patio is open to get some sunshine with your meal.”

“Awesome axe house. Friendly staff with beautiful decor. 14 beers on tap. Tough to find a better place for fun. They even have a friendly axe-dog.”

“Absolutely amazing experience every time. The food is made with creativity and love, and the staff makes you feel like you’ve been invited in to their family. Make a reservation so you aren’t disappointed. And don’t forget to try their Saturday Bakery for some incredible freshly baked goods!”

“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.”

“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.”

“Was served lunch today by April and had a lovely time. We had the trio and everything was delicious as always. April was very pleasant and always prompt offering refills”

“Honestly always a 5/5 even if you do not like seafood they always have something for you! I am a really picky eater and everything is always so good do not let the empty mall fool you, this place will always be my go to. And also to mention the prices are soo good there! The chicken cutlet is a
Must have!”

“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.”

“Great service, delicious food…. A special treat for sure!!!!”

“The fish and chips were the best we have had, the atmosphere is awesome and the service was excellent. Our waitress Taylor was awesome. Thank you Ben and staff for the wonderful meal, we will be back soon. 🙂”

“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!”

“Great Vietnamese food and coffee, along with very inviting ambiance and friendly staff! The Vietnamese iced coffee is strongly recommended! I'll definitely be back when I visit Saint John.”

“My husband and I are regulars because we know we are always going to get consistently good food for a for a reasonable price and phenomenal service. Our favourite server is Jenn. She is exceptional and remembers our orders.”

“Just a few days ago, I found myself celebrating a birthday at an absolute gem of a place! A friend recommended this spot, and let me tell you, it did not disappoint. With its reputation as both a pub and a steakhouse, I was excited to dive into what they had to offer—and wow, I was blown away!

From the moment I arrived, I was impressed by the top-notch drinks and food. The seasoning? Out of this world! I highly recommend starting with the tuna—it’s served in a delightful pub-style and packed with a spicy, delicious sauce that will leave you craving more.

Now, let's talk about the main course! Seriously, I couldn't believe how incredible everything was. I devoured every bit of my 38-course meal (yes, you read that right!). The shrimp were succulent, and the steak? Cooked to perfection, just the way I like it. My husband opted for the mac and cheese as an extra side, and I’m so glad he shared it with me—what a treat!

If you’re a fan of amazing food, this place needs to be your next destination. Trust me, you won’t regret it!

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟”

“wonderful services food was delishous and hot great atmosphere big portions We would recommend it and we give this place a 10 /10 and will defenatly be back .Thank you for a wonderful experience.”

“I just LOVE BP!!!! Every experience is a good one!! Great atmosphere, great food, GREAT service!!!!!”

“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.”

“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.”

“This is a wonderful place to eat fish and chips, an excellent ceaser salad that pairs well with a ceaser drink.

If you have a sweet tooth, they have a banana Foster which can get any kid to start liking bananas, and any adult a case of gambling with diabetes.”

“Had a wonderful breakfast here today! The food was cooked perfectly and staff were great ! Also, best view in the city”

“Stopped by Burger King and was genuinely impressed. The Whopper was hot and veggies taste fresh which exactly what im craving for Fries were crispy and hot as well, and service was quick and friendly. Clean space too!! Definitely coming back!”

“Fast curteous service. Service with a smile. Delicious cinnamon rolls”

“ordered a tea with my food solely to get the hockey cards which on the screen was charged the 1.99 for pulled away and no hockey cards in the bag...”

“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.”

“There is a new manager and friendly staff. The food was delicious and the atmosphere relaxing.”

“Good all around

Parking: Lots of parking to the building

Kid-friendliness: Yes , friendly and have a play area for the kids.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes”

“I had a great experience at the McDonald's inside Walmart Saint John! The staff was friendly, efficient, and ensured that my order was prepared quickly and accurately. The food was fresh, hot, and tasted great, just as expected from McDonald's.”

“Great service , great food , great atmosphere makes for a great dining experience”

“Ordered takeout breakfasts for myself and a coworker. From the cheerfulness on taking my call to the preparation and pick up, a 10 out of 10! The breakfast was delicious and great value. Nothing like supporting true local!”

“What can I say, everything is good. Going there for years and will continue for years to come. Every time I go to town, I stop in for a bite to eat. 100000% recommended!!!”

“The shop itself is super cute, In a great building. The staff were super friendly & patient! It was our first time there & it took us a few minutes to decide what to get. My husband got the Peanut Butter Latte & the Peanut Butter Balls & has been dreaming of it ever since, He says it is the best he has ever had. I got the Iced Cappuccino, It was really good. My son got Chocolate milk in an Ice Cappuccino cup because he wanted to be like mom & the staff were so sweet about putting it in a cup for him. I cannot recommend this place enough. ☕️”

“The pizza here was fantastic! The crust was a perfect mix of crispy and soft, the sauce had a rich and tangy flavor, and the toppings were fresh and generously portioned. The cheese was nicely melted, and every bite was well-balanced. It’s definitely a place I’d come back to for a consistently delicious pizza experience.”

“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!”

“So my Mum's 101st Birthday has just passed and she thought scallops would be a nice dinner idea.This was my first visit to Bob's and will definitely not be the last! Cozy, homey atmosphere, lovely staff and patrons and, the scallops and clams, both with fries, were delicious! We both ate almost everything on our plates and enjoyed every mouthful. Thank you for making Mum's special meal such a success and for all the well wishes too. Pam, thank you again for your kindness too.”

“Was not told there was no dipping sauce (Donair sauce) for the garlic fingers!! Already paid for!! he gave me little thing of garlic something to go with the pizzas”

“My #1 place in Saint John to eat!... Joe Handrahan👍 Every mouth full is an explosion of YUM! 🤗”

“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.❤️❤️”

“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”

“Delicious food that is excellent quality for the price. Staff are friendly and I've always had great customer service. On my last visit I had the baby in the stroller and he told me to go sit and that they would bring our food to us. Overall a real gem.”

“super fast great quality”

“Best Chinese food we have had in NB. Fresh perfectly cooked vegetables, big serving size for the money, quick service even though busy and friendly staff.”

“Great service and great food!”

“A friend and I stopped in while on a work trip. We were met by the GREATEST bar tender I've ever had the pleasure of being served by. Dave was extremely personable and friendly. The owner, Kevin, happened to pop in to have a chat with us as well.

10/10 experience. We can't wait to go back.”

“After 2 months of being out of the country, Zesty Lemon was the first place I wanted to visit when I returned home! The Chicken Bacon Sandwich did not disappoint!”

“Food is always great. And the staff are excellent! And we have never waited long to be served.”

“Best food I've had in sj in a long long time”

“I’ve been here a few Friday nights. Some days, the place is buzzing with people and excitement, while other days, it feels quite dull. The drinks and vibes are decent, but I find the DJs to be inconsistent. They need to read the crowd better and play songs that match the energy of the audience, rather than just sticking to what they feel like playing. Overall it’s a pretty decent place.”

“Ordered a pepperoni pizza tonight for 5:30, was ready to go right on time and the 2 boys working were very kind. One of them even brought the pizza out to my boyfriend & I in the rain, a nice unexpected surprise!”

“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”

“quiet, nice place, we enjoyed dining here, liked the chicken teriyaki bowl, reasonably priced yet bursting with clean flavors. Most importantly we were treated very nice by the wonderful server, and as a bonus nearby employees inside gas station are wonderful to chat with. A++”

“We were in St. John’s on Labor Day weekend in 2024. Let’s just say that this town takes Labor Day to the extreme and that nothing is open. Thank you for the church Street steakhouse for being open and provided us a wonderful meal. The only thing that knocked down one star was it was dark and difficult to see at our table 09/03/2024 03:05 PM server Madeline.”

“Absolutely my favorite place to eat. Service is always friendly and great, the pizza is the best in town, and just a great place to hang out with friends and family!!”

“Like alot of users of this outlet we are all repeat customers.We go everyday and what is really cool about this location is there is no drive through.That means the staff get to know your name and order which creates a special dynamic .They become part of your everyday work life.Friends that make your day better. One employee Sukhpreet Kaur is especially good at this.Thanks to them all.”

“Such a fun atmosphere and layout. The staff are great, and so are the other customers. A great place to hang out after the work day.”

“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.”

“I come here for the good food, the good personality and the good service! It feels very private in the morning. We usually order the tower, which is an assortment of featured food, and always have something different. It's always a pleasant time here.”

“Great place 👍🏻 amazing food and variety of drinks.”

“It’s Wendy’s. You already know what to expect. Highly recommend coming to this location just for the girl who takes your order. She has the greatest drive through voice of all time.”

“Known for its energy, Uptown Saint John is a creative hotspot. For musicians, for painters, for glassworkers, for culinary artists, to the busy workers keeping the city flowing. It's all art and expression if we love what we do. Many people make magic happen in Saint John, but Uptown brings forth both the inner beauties and dark sides of this wonderful city. We face it all, and then come to The R-Bar at night to relax and let loose. A moment to practice being who we truly are, to express our love and passion, with like minded, high energy people. The drinks are cold and neat, the lights are colorful and bright, while the music guides our flow through the night! And if you're lucky enough to have a few minutes to stop in during the day, you will not miss the creative energy. People from all walks of life find their way here to laugh, eat a bite from a local restaurant, or enjoy discussions about City Market Artists/Vendors over a table looking out onto two of Saint John's most bustling streets. All that said, it's simple to break down in one sentence. "I love OuR-Bar and all the people who walk through the doors!" ~ [ @Hapheseus ]”

“Delphi Street Restaurant exceeded all expectations. The chef's creativity shines through in every dish, making each bite a delight. The seafood platter was fresh and expertly prepared. The staff’s warm hospitality made us feel like VIPs. We'll definitely be returning soon!”

“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.”

“I actually work at lumberjacks at 10 main street west inside the Irving ...I love their subs and all the baked goods ...thank you for having a great place to work and eat”

“Best food I've had in sj in a long long time”

“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”

“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.”

“Was not told there was no dipping sauce (Donair sauce) for the garlic fingers!! Already paid for!! he gave me little thing of garlic something to go with the pizzas”

“Quick & fast delivery via Door dash, Skip and Uber eats. I've ordered from this location a couple of times. Pizzas have arrived correctly and hot. I'd say it's a reliable product and there are some good deals/savings to be found if you search them out. I have not physically visited the store yet so can't really comment on that.”
