Restaurants in Saint John

“IBN continues to be our "go to" for SJ fine dining with exceptional service. Never disappoints. We ordered an appetizer each and one for the table, because they are simply too hard to resist! LOL The level of freshness and authenticity in the menu is matched by the professionalism of all staff and the electric ambiance. Our only complaint is that IBN isn't open 24/7! Highly recommend.”

“Ordered takeout on Christmas Day night. The food was delish with big portions and quick service. The staff was super friendlyand the inside was really nicely decorated. Will return when back in ”

“Pur recent meal was stellar, best one yet and we've been going since they opened! It just gets better and better! We had the Brussles, so tasty! Tried the Taquitos for the first time...so tasty and fresh and crisp! (Black bean, sauteed onion, spices, tvp, vegan cheese, salsa fresca, cilantro, jalapeno, avocado crema.) Of course the crunchy Santa Fe salad is the best in the city...and HUGE. But the ultimate Blow Yoir Mind dish was the Pappardelle Bolognese! Wow! That home-made pappardelle was off the charts!!! And the sauce was superb. Highly recommend!”

“They were open late on a Sunday night off season ! There was so many options for food and it was fresh and good. Wait staff were wonderful.Kid-friendliness: Coloring placemats and special menus ans their plates with a pile of food.”

For dessert I had the blueberry cake which was a delicious moist cake warmed with blueberry preserves on top. It was the perfect amount of food for a lunch or early supper at a great price. Our server Tanya was a wonderful as well!”

“My fiancé and I had the most amazing experience there this evening. Our server Samuel was absolutely amazing. He looked right after us and made us laugh the entire time. The food is exquisite and our absolute favorite is the Mussaman curry. The owner Donna is the sweetest and went out of her way to ensure our experience was amazing. Thank you and we will be back!”

“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!”

“This was my first time eating here. I was greeted with a warm smile and was helped through choosing the different options for my order. The sandwich was very good!”

“My wife and I have been here to sit in a few times and the food is always hot and fresh and the new menu options have always been delicious. Cold beer and friendly service as well. Keep up the good work!”

“Quite possibly the best food in the maritimes. Best muscles ive ever had and we’re from pei…absolutely delicious and surprisingly reasonable prices. They use real Real cheese, tender beef, everything perfectly seasoned it was heavenly. As long as they keep the prices reasonable we’ll be back!!”

“I meant to take pictures but whenever the food comes, I indulge in a space where it's only me and the food ??Edit: I actually took a photo of my food this time, and then devoured it after ?”

“The food and drink selection is my favorite, the last 2 times I was in New Brunswick, I went there; can't forget the taste! Terry Hill you live in New Brunswick we should go there when I visit? The General Manager where I work I believe also loves it there! 5 Star rating in my opinion!”

“Great service and prices! The food is good, worth it for the price I think, and the atmosphere is lively and busy. They have many specials such as the all you can eat pasta night for only 19.99, they also have a pizza night, etc.”

“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.”

“Really enjoyed our annual Cranberry Lane visit. Sat near the windows and must remember to book that next year. From the chowder to the dinner everything was enjoyable. Salmon a little dry. Desserts were plentiful but missed the cake with blueberry sauce. Definitely plan on going back next year.”

“They are always friendly here and never too busy to answer questions or help you out if you need it.Kid-friendliness: Kids are always welcomeWheelchair accessibility: There is door openers and lots of room for wheelchairs. If you need a hand there is always someone to help”

“The food quality was actually really good even though they forgot to add cheese to the Impossible burger when we asked. The service was also good when we asked for a slice of cheese to add it ourselves and they did that with no issue. And the bathroom was one of the cleanest ever seen in a fast food restaurant so all in all, we will be back in the future again!Vegetarian options: They have a great Impossible burger”

“A fast and friendly employee at the drive thru window. She got our large order accurate at a busy time of 12:30 pm.She was even friendly with our three chihuahuas.Vegetarian options: Cilantro Lime Vegetarian Wrap.”

“Food and service are good. It doesn't seem busy inside most times. I believe that the drive-thru and skip the dishes is most of the business at this location. Most times I've been in, there's only been 1-5 people dining in.Parking: Most times, the lot is nearly empty. Could have something to do with the state of the economy and people aren't dinning out much anymore, can't afford the whole process.Kid-friendliness: Lots of menu options for kids, and with it not being that busy, great opportunity for kids to visit”

“We went for dinner with friends. Brady our server was friendly and attentive. There was a minor mistake with one of our orders and he went above and beyond to correct it immediately. The food was incredible and the portions were large. We had the Irish poutine and the pulled pork grill cheese both were delicious. We will definitely be back again.”

“Really good service. The waitress was very friendly. Didn't have to wait long. The food was delicious. Would go back.Parking: Free parking. Lots of parking”

“It's a comfortable place to relax and enjoy your meal. The waitresses are very friendly and the food is usually very good. No matter where you go you will have one time when you weren't completely satisfied but that doesn't happen very often at topps!”

“The best food I have ever tasted, ever! Today was my second time eating at there. We had massaman mango chicken and paneer masala - INCREDIBLE. Anytime I am in SJ I will be visiting Thandi!!!”

“We are new to the area and we’re out for a walk in the uptown area. We came across Julius and dropped in for a slice. Place was totally rad….!!! Huge menu everything looked awesome. This will be a neighbourhood staple for us. Staff were especially accommodating and welcoming. We are ”

“I have been a regular customer at Vitos, since Russell Street, Rothesay Avenue and now Peel Street. I am PROUD to be part of such a welcoming & positive atmosphere. The STAFF are "Second to None" in my books. They are so compassionate and caring, and they take pride in ensuring their customers are treated like family. I am a bit of a "Creature of Habit" so my review may not offer a great assortment of menu reviews, given my preference has for years been the Caeser Chicken with Caeser Salad and occassionally the Seafood Chowder that is only available on Fridays but often sells out. The Caeser Chicken Dish, a popular Speciality of Vitos, typically comes with Rice but pleasingly there is a option to have spaghetti, which I consistently opt to have. I thoroughly enjoy this dish and am pleased to say I look forward to having it every Friday when possible. The STAFF warm my ❤ and I feel BLESSED every Friday when I see them...VITOS truly is a FAMILY ORIENTED business that opens their doors to customers that Become FAMILY... To All of VITOS Staff - Who Serve & Those Behind The Scenes.. be PROUD of yourselves, you are a TRUE REPRESENTATION of what Family is about, and as a long standing customer I'm PROUD to be part of that Family Feel Atmosphere ❤!Parking: Vitos offers a FREE parking lot adjacent to the restaurant, however Vitos is an extremely BUSY restaurant and often the lot is full. Patience and waiting on "stand by" lol ? for customers to find their way to their vehicles can often be the way to secure free parking offered by Vitos.Kid-friendliness: I have often seen children, teens, School Sports teams frequent Vitos. The Staff are exceptional and accommodate all age groups.Wheelchair accessibility: Vitos has recently built a ramp for Wheelchair Users.”

“Wonderful young lady helped my son & I with all our special requests, More pickles, More onions, blah blah blah. So friendly, and never batted an eye at our silliness. Burgers were great. Service even better. Thank you?”

“Hubby took me out for whole clams and chips tonight,I haven't had much of an appetite but I must confess,I cleaned my plate.So good!Zero complaints from me!”

“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!”

“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.”

“This restaurant is really one of saint johns hidden gems. The food is always fresh, comes out piping hot, and hits the spot every time. Best to go with a large group, so that you can order multiple dishes. Our favourite dishes are the sizzling beef and sweet and sour chicken.”

“The barista was all on her own, but did a great job of making everyone's coffees and breakfasts. Ordered a moose-sized red eye coffee and the egg & sausage wrap, which was yummy.”

“After our Foodie friends raved about your place we finally ordered takeout. I forgot how much I love Chinese food! Everything was so tasty. The wonton soup is out of this world! We are two people, ordered the meal for 5, I know, sounds ridiculous but we’ve had at least 8 meals so far!”

“The food was great, the waitress was lovely, and all around a great time. I wish we could have taken our leftovers. We were on a cruise ship, so we had nowhere for them, unfortunately. It was delicious, I had the cashew chicken and it was so good, I wanted to drink it. I felt so bad since it looked like I barely touched it, I have a small stomach and often cant fit a normal (american) portion of anything in, so it usually looks like I didn't enjoy it. But I very much did and I want them to know that lol. Highly recommend.”

“There’s absolutely nothing I dislike about this place. The staff are amazing and the food is equally amazing! This is a regular spot for me and they are always so consistent!”

“Great spot for a Cool treat!This location is clean, well organized for the chaos an ice cream stand can attract and the dipped cones are always on point.Great job to the staff and manager/owner of this establishment.”

“Always get my drink perfect ! Unlike Rothesay. Seriously! These guys get it right every time. Love getting my drink in on the app then picking up in store no wait no drive thru trafficThumbs ?”

“Fast and reliable for a Wendy's, or just any fast food joint for that matter. Always a really good burger and fries and I have not had a disappointing order here yet in the 6 or so times that I've been here. For a quick bite on the go or if you are in a rush, this would work as a great spot to fill your belly. I will be coming back for sure, when I'm working in the area.”

“Been trying for days to order a cake for my 6 year old daughter. Website is not working, and nobody is answering the phone at this location. Assuming they are open, went into the this store on the day of the birthday hoping they could help out without prior notice (no one answering the phone). Found out they were having some issues with their phone. These guys are awesome, they went above and beyond. Not only did they make a custom ice cream cake on little to no notice, they did an incredible job, beyond what I would have expected if I was able to pre order the day before online, they did it with a smile, and gave me a discount for my trouble. These guys are great. Excellent customer service, real pleasant down to earth good people, highly recommend this store.”

“the view is good. the service in the tim’s part not so good but the wendy’s part is fantastic they let me and my friends sit in there for hoursKid-friendliness: there so nice they gave me and my friends extra!!”

“Service can be slow, their intercom and menu board need to be maintained a little better, it's very hard to hear them. But the food has always been good so no complaints there. Mostly the store feels dated and needs a face lift.”

“It was a good A&W, kind of the usual stuff but the quality was good and they made the right food I ordered so it would be worth the stop if you are in the mood for daddy food.”

“Ordered a take 12 and some other items. Staff on the phone was very friendly. When I arrived the store was very busy, but the staff were still very upbeat and friendly. I appreciated starting my day with that”

“I'm not a big fan of the renovations. It's not very homey in there. They added two new age machines that spit the drinks out. The flavor is not quite right. Needless to say I still ended up in a meat coma after a Baconator combo. You really can't go wrong.Kid-friendliness: I didn't notice anyone being unfriendly to kids.”

“Usual, expected McDonalds location inside the Walmart Supercenter in John. There is no drive through at this location. Full menu available however, hours are reduced based on Walmart hours of operation.”

“French Fries were good and hot. Milk shake was delicious.Parking: Lots of parking. Also, mall there, Shoppers Drug Mart, Gym, Walmart, No Frills, etc.Kid-friendliness: Have kids meals”

“There's nothing much to talk about food, it's almost all the same . Wow, the energy of the staff is top class.Unlike the other place in 399 main street, the energy here is totally different, Happy , smiling and VERY ATTENTIVE STAFF.The staff here gives importance to DINE in customers rather than SERVING ONLY DRIVE Through Cx(Am so vexed up and frustrated with 399 place , this place felt like all the staff is catering just me)Kid-friendliness: Oh it's very friendly, when I was there kids were having a party in the kids section.Parking: It's a big parking lotWheelchair accessibility: It is”

“Service was excellent, they manage to get my popcorn poutine hot and ready by time I grabbed a straw for my drink. Poutine tasted great as usual and I was shocked at how it took prob like what 20 seconds or so for my order to be finished.”

“24-7 busy McDonald's location. Drive through gets very busy at times, so much in fact that people frequently line up on the street to enter. I have usually found the service to be friendly and orders correctly fulfilled. A second drive through lane has recently been added (Jan 2024).”

“Catapult hits everything 10/10 in terms of ambiance, mission, service and quality of coffee. My jaw almost hit the floor when I had to find a spot at the back today. There was a real fireplace, beautiful seating and that old city charm.”

“1st day in St John ever for a work related visit. Landed at this pub in a Thursday eve. the gentleman poured me a thick Guinness.I drank at the bar and then went hotel, best night ever.”

“Okay place, some nice brews. Not the most impressive brewery I went to, but it is not the main store and I would love to try the Fredericton one to get a better sense of the things on offer. I liked the semi-circle table, seemed conducive to easy conversations with strangers.”

“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've been going to this bakery for nearly 40 years (and I am only 48) - growing up this was my parents favorite bakery and it is still the best in Saint John! The sisters that own the bakery are lovely, and they make the most wonderful bread, rolls, cookies, squares, gingerbread men, Danishes and more (If you can get the corn chowder - TRY IT! It's amazing). Wonderful service - I forgot a loaf of bread I bought this AM (distracted by the sweets) and got home before I realized. I called and asked them if possible to donate it next door to the HOPE Café (Salvation Army free café for those in need) and she said sure she would bring it on over for me :-) Love this community staple!”

“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!”

“We ordered for a funeral reception, the sandwiches were fabulous, fruit and veggie tray was almost too beautiful to eat, and the sweet tray was so yummy! Fantastic service from start to finish! Thanks Maggie for taking care of us❤️”

“The people were very nice. Their set up seemed super clean. I like open air sushi joints where it's made in front of you. It's the nicest sushi I've had in the Saint John area. I had the salmon and it was beautiful. I would definitely recommend Pink Sushi. They ask you to rate the atmosphere but it's in a food court..? I don't know bring a candle.”

“I absolutely love this place. The ice cream they make is the best I have ever had. About every three days they have different flavors on their menu. I was told by one of the staff that their product is never older than three days old. I try I the summer months to stop and get a cone. Myself it's a Waffle Cone with three scoops all different flavors. They also sell Large Tub's and pint size tub's. If you haven't been to Bella's yet you have to go.”

“Don't normally write reviews unless a really good or really bad experience, but thought this place deserved one. Will definitely go back to try something else because of the great customer service and friendly atmosphere. Had ordered nachos with no peppers or onions, when they arrived I saw a little bit of onion but figured it was just on the edge from the other order of nachos, didn't feel the need to complain and didn't have the time to wait for new ones, but had to pick off a lot of them. Didn't find the nachos great, not just because of the unwanted onions, but was hungry and ate a good part of them anyways,kindly mentioned when I went to pay what had happened not expecting anything-we all make mistakes- just a little constructive criticism- wouldn't have been a place I would go back or recommend if it wasn't for the awesome service or making it right.”

“There's no food here really but they got 5 just so the score wasn't affected. It's an intimate little basement bar that has a DJ there spinning some old vinyl records while you hang out and have some adult beverages. Really tasty specialty drinks made by the bartender before you head out for a night on the town. If you're looking for something small and really enjoyable I would recommend coming by to check it out. And the old school stone walls give it a definite oldy timey feel.”

“At around 11 am today, we were ordering subway, the person in front was highly aggressive and disrespectful to the workers, they handled the situation very well and were very polite and professional. They deserve a raise/recognition. The food was really nice and they kept us comfortable while waiting. Handled it like champions!November 18 2023”

“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 .”

“We had a hard time finding this, it is tucked in the corner of an underground parking lot. We have had the fish and chips, wings, hot chicken sandwich and the club sandwich over the last couple visits and its been good food with great service and super daily specials. Hand cut fries instead of the frozen fries would take this place over the top. I would recommend the fish and chips, the pulled fish is fantastic - crispy and cooked perfectly.”

“Great food, great service and nice outside seating.We had the club sandwich and the veg and cheese, both made with fresh produce and very tasty!The cappuccino was perfect even with the right temperature (warm, NOT hot!)This place is part of the Saint John Learning Exchange,Highly recommended!”

“we enlisted China coast to fulfill our Christmas party order. they were very pleasant to deal with, had everything correct in our orders and had it ready to go when they were asked to! we have dealt with many restaurants and non of them could get it right for us. we will definitely get china coast for.all.or company functions..thanks again for such top notch service and attention to details. from all of us at HiTech dental!”

“I took my son there today for lunch and the service was fantastic. The food was awesome and that brownie was to die for. it continues to be our favourite lunch spot!”

“Got it a few days ago and it was absolutely delicious! Dill pickle pizza...who knew?! And bbq chicken...both top notch! Other family members got donairs...they were loaded with meat!”

“Today is my first time trying a sub from Lumberjack! I will definitely be back! I got the Lumberjack sub. It did not disappoint! The lumberjack sauce is amazing and made in house.. lots of toppings and lots of meat. The sub bun is very fresh and tasty. The staff was amazing, and friendly the price was very reasonable! Can’t wait to try some different subs from here! 10/10 for me! Cheers”

“This was my first time eating here. I was greeted with a warm smile and was helped through choosing the different options for my order. The sandwich was very good!”

“The food and drink selection is my favorite, the last 2 times I was in New Brunswick, I went there; can't forget the taste! Terry Hill you live in New Brunswick we should go there when I visit? The General Manager where I work I believe also loves it there! 5 Star rating in my opinion!”

“Delicious food every time! Love the deep fried pickles, so good!!!Edit: I want to give a shoutout to the staff for always being friendly and even without asking, holding the door open when I’m carrying out my order.”

“Tried their Tandoori Paneer pizza with tandoori sauce for base. And for toppings I had paneer, green peppers and onions. I had my pizza well done. They garnished it with chilli flakes and oregano. It was delicious. We tried their creamy garlic sauce on the side. The customer service was good. The staff were friendly and nice. Definitely recommend to try this. Not much seating available in the store, but we were two so we could do dine. But they do have two tables available with four seatings each.”

“I meant to take pictures but whenever the food comes, I indulge in a space where it's only me and the food ??Edit: I actually took a photo of my food this time, and then devoured it after ?”

“Very calm and relaxing nice to be around the peace quiet also it’s right near the harbour downtown there’s a place to sit when it’s warmed up on the patio and places inside as well friendly servers.Written By: Liam Van ”

“Last Saturday, I visited Popeyes for the first time and had a great experience. I was talking with Leo an assistant manger there and he gave great advice! I got a delicious chicken sandwich with mac & cheese. Rezen also an assistant manger there helped make sure everything was in my bag and was fresh and ready to go quickly!Great teamwork Popeyes i’ll definitely be back!”
