Stumbled upon The Big R on a lazy Sunday morning and honestly it might be my new favourite spot in St. John's. The eggs benedict were cooked perfectly, with hollandaise that actually had some flavour instead of the bland stuff you get at so many brunch places. The vibe inside is cozy without feeling cramped, and the staff were genuinely friendly even during what seemed like a busy rush. If you're looking for a solid weekend brunch spot in the city, this one is worth making a habit...read full review

The Big R Restaurant is a local eatery that offers a mix of classic dishes. While the service is generally quick and efficient, with a friendly and attentive staff, the reviews suggest that the food quality can be inconsistent. The southern fried chicken is praised as tasty and crunchy, and the chicken (leg/thigh) and shrimp with fries are also very good. Some customers enjoyed the large onion rings, which were served as an appetizer for three people, although one noted that the onion rings were few in number and not worth the price. The restaurant provides a comfortable atmosphere with simple, good down-home cooking. The fish and chips, enjoyed by a customer from their childhood, tasted just as good as remembered. Overall, the restaurant offers a decent dining experience with great prices and fast service, though the food quality may vary and some items like the onion rings might not meet expectations.
