Arrived at 3:30 on Aug. 24. Place was almost empty. Orders were taken and arrived in just 10 min. Excellent food: fish & chips, haddock dinner and chicken Caesar. MMMMM. Waitress mentioned it was good to come early as they were booked solid that night.

Delightful. We went for a tour, explored the area and then had a late lunch at Miners Village restaurant. The service was excellent. The Seafood Chowder was very flavorful and we loved the fresh tea biscuits. A great experience and we would definitely visit again when we come back to visit family.

Had our first visit to Miners Village Restaurant last night. Food was delicious and our waitress Haley was exceptional. The service she provided and the kindness she showed brightened our day, it was very special. We will definitely return and enjoy more meals thanks to the people who work at the restaurant. A rare Gem in Cape Breton!

In the off-season on Saturdays, there is little choice apart from the dish of the day. Warm welcome. The brief and the gravy sauce is pretty good.

Hands down 5 out of 5. The service was top notch and the food? Sooo delicious! Last day of the season is tomorrow so if you want to squeeze them in, make a reservation. Seriously? The very BEST fish and chips I have EVER had! Freshly caught haddock, that melted in your mouth, with a tasty crispy coating, served with homemade tartar sauce. And there was homemade coleslaw. The fries were supplied from Sysco, and they were home cut and sooooo good! Yes, I asked lots of questions. Also VERY inexpensive. You get much more than you pay for.
But get this…. it’s a surprise… the owners plan to take over the former Mike’s Lunch, call it it “Fran’s”, and have Eatza Pizza in there as well! My favourite Glace Bay pizza! AND… it’s going to be licensed!!!
We also toured the Miner’s Village. It’s a good look into our history 🤗
Highly recommend!!!!!🙌🙌🙌

Made a reservation for 6 at 530, and were quick to take our order. We waited 1 hour and 15 minutes for not too complicated meals (ie: fish and chips). Every customer in the facility was getting obviously frustrated with the service and wait times. Some of the tables were offered tea biscuits while others were not. When the food arrived, it arrived at different times for all seated at the table and came out cold. To the point where one was sent back to be reheated but still was not warm enough to have butter melt on the mashed potatoes on the plate...
The waitresses, in a tough position, went around the restruant telling customers loudly that one of their cooks quit and walked out that day. They ran out of menu items which was odd as didn't appear anyone was getting food.
A better business decision, in my opinion, would be to not take customers in that night not having the proper staffing rather than complain about it to already unhappy customers. Should have flipped the closed sign as we will not be going back.

arrived at 6 for our reservation, waitress gave us water, there were 9 of us, and 2 other tables one with with 5 and one with 7 people so not overly busy, she came and took our order sold out of turkey so i got senior spaghetti, after an hour she started apologizing and saying just a few more min.so we asked if she would take our drink orders lol, well no coke or pepsi, by now it has been 1 hour and 20 min, still no food, again she apologized and said waiting on the fish and chips, 3 people ordered it, finally we said at least give us what`s ready please its been 1 hour 35 min and we are hungry, got my spaghetti with 1 meat ball in a bowl and not even a piece of bread for 12.00 dollars, and the fish was over cooked. and that other table that was waiting just as long as us still dident get any food yet, sorry but that`s just about the worst service i have ever had and will not be going back.
The Miner’s Museum and the Men of the Deeps concert were awesome. Unfortunately, the Miner’s Restaurant was a disappointment. We arrived 25 minutes early for our dinner reservation at 5:30 and were seated right away. Our food did not arrive until almost 6:00. There was no bread on the table to eat while you waited for your meal. The seafood chowder was barely luke warm. It did not even have any lobster pieces in it. The pan seared halibut was not fully cooked and all of the food on the plate was not even warm. The broccoli was raw. The only thing that was warm on the turkey dinner plate was the gravy. The large salad was small by most standards. I asked for grilled chicken on the salad. What I got looked and tasted like the precooked chicken pieces you can buy in the package. There were no knives on the table so we asked for knives to cut our food. The waitress brought us two knives for four people. We had to ask for two more knives. The waitress never returned to see if everything was ok. We did advise the waitress that the two plates of food were not even warm. She was very apologetic and did not charge us for those two meals. We will not be returning.

Upon arrival we were seated with menus took awhile for waitress to return on 2 tables in while restaurant had customer including mine. We asked about specials the waitress mentioned cream of beets soup we said that's sounds quite interesting she said sounds quite disgusting. Scallops were great but fish tacos had no flavor at all. Then the waitress boyfriend came in to hang out with her. Very unprofessional very disappointed was one of my favorite places but not anymore. Very very disappointed

Miner's Village Restaurant is a testament to the power of preserving culinary traditions and celebrating local history. The delicious food, warm hospitality, and charming ambiance make it a worthwhile destination for both locals and tourists alike. If you are looking for a dining experience that takes you on a journey through time, Miner's Village Restaurant is a must-visit.

Looking for something local for lunch, an excellent find today! Service was excellent, our waitress Shilo was kind, fast, efficient and had meals on the tables in minutes. We were in and out under an hour and back to Work. Food quality of ingredients and taste were excellent, I highly recommend the fish tacos and Caesar salad! Great job to all the Staff, and excellent menu!
