Restaurants in Thunder Bay

“Excellent food, excellent staff and waiters. Thunder Bay’s gem of a restaurant!”

“I just wanted to take the tome to acknowledge the amazing efforts of Colin (who I've now known to be the GM of this location) . I had called with a question, simply asking what the daily vegetable was before I placed my order through Skip the Dish. I wanted to make sure the sode was not say roasted red pepper and beans or something. During our briefing talk, I explained I had a food allergy to peppers. He said he would make sure there were no peppers. Much to my delight, the food was absolutely amazing, and I had no issues with anything. What particularly caught me off guard, was that Colin had essentially taken time aside to ensure the safety of my meal, and inquired about all ingredients to the kitchen. He found that there were pepper flakes in the coleslaw side, so he actually attached a had written note with the coleslaw aside, amd substitutions available that accommodated my allergy. I have yet to ever see a restaurant worker take such initiative, let alone learning that this was the GM whom I'm sure had many other things to do that evening. I was absolutely blown away. So Colin, if you ever see this, you made my night, and you've solidified a loyal family of clients to Kelseys, solely because of you. Thank you”

“Me and my partner came for Valentines Day dinner. Most restaurants can be super stressful and chaotic on holiday's, but I cannot stress enough how well the entire Montanas team did. Making the reservation and calling to confirm was so easy, service and food were impeccable, and everything seemed perfectly under control. I was extremely impressed by how well everyone performed under pressure and I look forward to the many times I'll return.”

“The food was incredible! They were really busy so we had to wait a few minutes but they were respectful and it really was service with a smile. We got SO much food! My golly, it was a lot. You get more Popeye's chicken for the same price as KFC. This was so much better than KFC. Never going there again and it used to be a favourite. You don't need to provide a cell phone number like you do when signing up for KFC. We got a free 6 pack of chicken nuggets for signing up online. Chrunchy, so delicious, there's a reward system. Their mashed potatoes were incredible. I hope they don't change unless they find a way to improve. Popeye's is perfect the way it is.”

“I love their sparklers so much I brought it to Toronto with me!

Parking: There are so many barriers when it comes to parking at the location where Windy Shores Cafe is located because 1) I need a phone to pay for parking 2) I need to pay to access a public park by vehicle 3) I need to pay for a phone plan to have data to pay for my parking metre. It’s not the business’s fault, however it is clear they’re losing a significant amount of customers and revenue because of parking.”

“I got an iced lattee with their homemade pumpkin spice flavour shot and it was absolutely delicious! Wayyy better than Tim Hortons. I highly recommend this coffee shop for any caffeine needs!”

“I always use the drive thru and usually only order a tea but I only go in the day because in the evening it doesn’t taste as good. Sometimes I’ll go alone or with my kids they usually get a sandwich or something else. My youngest gets thé chocolate milk and a cookie I love the woman that’s always on the till during the day with the glasses I’m always giving her a tip because she’s always so nice. If I’m with my pug she always asks if she can have a treat and if I’m alone she always is like you’re alone today. Super friendly staff person. Wish I knew her name.”

“Great food and service. Will definetly return!”

“Our out of town work group of 25 showed up on a Tuesday night thinking we had made a reservation already, only to realize we had not confirmed on our end to lock in the reservation.

“Ordered poached eggs med-hard and got runny, ordered soft bacon and got crispy (near desiccated), paid for side fruit and got fruit nearing end of life (browning, soft). Service was ok … did not ask if everything was good. Just dropped the bill. When I mentioned the fruit was off, she said she would tell the cook but did not remove from bill or offer fresh. Used to love Tina’s. Fresh fruit and so tasty. Really gone downhill. I’ll give the restaurant a D- for food. Waitress was nice, just not willing to see customer satisfaction … I won’t be back.”
