“This was my first time at both hands pizza. I'd have to say that the brick oven pizza was one of the best I've had! Staff were friendly and pizza was quick and hot! We will be back.”
“Went to the Caribou Restaurant & Wine Bar tonight to try their new midweek trattoria menu. It was well worth the trip. The flatbread was delicious, the ceasar salad was great as usual and our entrees were outstanding. When we arrived, I asked our server (Fabulous server) if I could have a little taste of the cheese sauce that was to be served with the gnocchi since the menu indicated there was Gorgonzola in it and I don't care for it. To my surprise he told me the dishes were made to order and I could order it without the Gorgonzola. I did just that and it was so good. The sauce was really delicious and the gnocchi was light and pillowy. We finished off with Nutella semifredo which we were really too full to eat. This price fixe menu was between $38 and $42 for full size four course servings (2 choices for salad and desert and Four choices for entree). Absolutely delicious and can't beat the price!”

Tomlin
“February 15.2024 my son and l went to Tomlin's for dinner. What a fine dining experience we had. Totally enjoyed it and then some.Absolutely great customer service, very friendly and knowledgeable. Dinner was super amazing and ambience was awesome,too. The only thing we didn't like was, maybe by mistake the A/C was on. It was rather a bit chilly in the dining room. None the less, we'll be back, next time we're in Thunder Bay again. We can only recommend Tomlin's.A must go!!!”
“From owning my own to my first time taking my wife and son to Tilted Turret I have to say awesome time. I am also looking for a new pin to add and Jurassic Park was a lot of fun. Later in the night it was a little crowded if playing a couple players at one but great atmosphere and the nachos and cinnamon treats (Flippers) were really nice and tasty. Will definitely play the pins and have a couple Caesars too.Our waitress almost looked like Elvira didn't catch her name cool look, but being on the second floor she had our food and drinks promptly to our table. A pleasure to a customer and deserved a nice tip next time.To the owners great atmosphere, fun games for everyone. It was a little crowded for me later in the night and I couldn't hear the games that you needed to do but the wife loves to cuddle so it was alright lol. All in all thank you for a great experience The drinks,service and games were awesome ?... DAD pin Signature.... Cheers TY”
“My granddaughter and I went here for her bday dinner (Her request) we had the deep fried hot honey chicken, onion rings, deep fried pickles and chicken tenders. If I could give a 100 stars I would! Absolutely delicious!Parking: We lucked out and got the spot right in front but had the intentions that we were going to have to walk some distance but they make that more than worth it!Kid-friendliness: Very inviting atmosphere”
Restaurants by Cuisine

El Tres
“We had quesadillas and the beef burrito. Both were well seasoned with lots of ingredients. We had churros for dessert that were cooked to perfection. Just the right amount of sugar coating as well.”
“Okay, so first of all, LOVED the food. The manager is always active, making his staff aware of everything going on. In the 3 days I was in Thunderbay, I have had every meal here. I remember being well served by 2 waitresses, Corey and Sammy, both were very interactive. The manager suggested I stayed back for the band and they were amazing as well. All in all, my stay in Thunderbay would be really sad without this place. Thank you so much.”
Restaurants with Delivery
“The food here is incredible and the service is really over the top. Our server was Maria who did a wonderful job. The other workers are also wonderful. This was the best eating experience I’ve had in a very long ”
“I order Tom yum shrimp and it was delicious, I just wish there was more shrimp in it. Service super friendly . definitely going back here next time come to thunder bay. And hopefully they give me real asian spicy LoL. Since I love spicy.”
“Where to start is it the great family welcoming you when you walk in the door? The amazing baked goods for the sweet tooth? The fresh baked breads? Or is it the awesome pizzas and panzerottis? All are amazing including the family that makes them! Tonight I ordered a pizza, the crust was thin,light and tender but not floppy. The pizza was loaded with toppings to the edge! The family recipe sauce has great flavour. Awsome pizza will be back for more!!!”

“I have ordered from here probably over 30 times and the food has consistently been amazing. I order off skip the dishes and even with the wait time for the delivery it is always worth it because the food is so well made. Personally I recommend the oxtail it's my favourite thing on the menu. I think it's the best food to order in Thunder Bay and I can't recommend it enough. 5 stars. Try it out!”
“Great vibe and delicious food (amazing tasting vegan food to boot) for a totally reasonable price - ESPECIALLY considering the portion sizes. If you need a comfy cozy place to eat or just comfort veggie or vegan food to take out, this is the place for you!”

“Mr.Sub staff on Memorial in Thunder Bay are amazing!! They were so much Fun. Will definetley go there whenever i am in the city! You guys are the best and made our day.”
“What a gem! Absolutely loved my experience here! Lots of options for individuals with a variety of dietary needs. Signage is clear to help those make informed decisions (what is vegan, what contains nuts, dairy or gluten, etc). Lots of unique flavours, many of which appeared seasonal. I had the peach crumble and it was the best gelato I've had outside of Italy. Get the double scoop, you won't regret it.”
“Recently brought our sons & daughter here during the March Break.The owner and staff were professional and super friendly. They went out of their way to make us feel welcomed.Everything was clean in cafe area, games were fun and food and drinks were good. The bathrooms could’ve been cleaner.I highly recommend Carlitos for any one of any age.”

“Dining in today—not here for the ambience, but the staff are nice and it’s very clean. The BEST Thai in TBay. My regular takeout order is the red curry. Big portion and tastes awesome!”
“Dawson Trail has a robust beer selection and their seasonal beers are on the mark. The taproom is well situated on Golf Links Rd. The staff are professional and very friendly! I can highly recommend them if you enjoy your craft beer.”

“Attended a Book launch for our late Elder recently..Have attended many events here in the past from Breaking the Glass Ceiling to community events. Great location, atmosphere, views & food are all high quality at affordable prices. Highly recommended restaurant.”
“We had a great time at Montanas, we got great food at the bar and our servers Christina and Ethan were amazing. Great conversations even though the bar was closing. Big thanks to them !!!!”
“We had our work Christmas party here last night, and Chris and our bartenders were super accommodating! We brought in catering for our group, which was fantastic. The space was done up perfectly to accommodate our large party. lol The ambiance was on par. Everyone had a great time with the sims. Definitely a party for the books! Thanks to all the staff at On The Links for a great night!”
“Went last night. food wasn't great. expensive and small portions. Ordered a Caesar and it was made so spicy I couldn't even drink it. Mojito was made with too much liquor .. didn't taste very good. The Cesar was still on the bill even though it was noticeably untouched. Long wait for the bill. Also what's with the lack of napkins, straws and cutlery lol.”
“This was a perfect place for our lunch staff meeting. The food was delicious, our server was knowledgeable and just the right amount attentive to respect our meeting. The vanilla iced lattes were so good. I love it here and I was happy to show my staff how good it is too. We weren’t rushed, and even though it was busy it was quiet enough for our meeting.”
“We were a group of 14, and the single server did a great job keeping us in food and drink. Food was tasty and hot, except for the steaks our party ordered. They were tough and for the price, not worth it. The server did make a 2nd steak for one of the guests. The burgers were huge and tasty. The salads were fresh and crisp. The sandwiches and chicken tacos were all good.”
“We were visiting from out of town and needed a restaurant for dinner. We could only get a reservation for 8:30pm on a Saturday. Wow. The food here is fantastic. Highly recommend the pan seared duck breast. Very delicious and filling. Servings are not small. Great to see downtown PA coming back to life again with many good and fun restaurants.”
“LOCAL MUST TRY!Delicious/Service/GOOD VibesIf you’re in Thunder Bay or maybe a local who’s never been, this is a must try once restaurant. I bet you’ll be back. The food was great, the service was great and the atmosphere is amazing! The prosciutto pizza, terimasu and cappuccino was amazing. They also have craft beer which is a plus.Kid-friendliness: Great atmosphere, good music and good people!”
“Recently ordered delivery. The pizza was good, but the take out beers have a weird cleaner smell of the outside/tops of the cans, that I noticed upon my first sip (even made it taste soapy) - had to rinse and wipe them off to remove the odour and soapy flavour.”
“This place was fantastic, it has excellent food and top notch service. I called 2 days ahead for a 7 person reservation on a busy night, they called me back and were able to fit us in at our requested time! And they put us at a table in the “cabin” at the back so it was quiet and felt like a private dining room. The decor is over the top and perfect, there is so much to look at. Our server was awesome. The food was to die for. I could have had a meal of just the fresh buns and garlic butter. I had the beef dip sandwich and it was excellent, it came with a starter of soup (i skipped the salad but it also comes with that). I also had a sangria (not on the drink menu but they made it!) and it was lovely. I can’t wait to come back and try other things on the menu. Prices are very reasonable and your starters are included.”
“Wow! Have never been so thought I'd try it out today and it was amazing! I had the walk in Chicken on the rocks, yum! Great service and very friendly. Will definitely be back.”
“Went for supper with kids, overall good experience. Got the Shrimp tacos, Honey Garlic wings and Perogy pizza.Kid-friendliness: Brought a toddler and a teen. Gets a bit overstimulated for my toddler but it was a busy night. Still a good place to bring children to eat.”
“I was apprehensive due to location. Its very dark in the restaurant. But the owners quickly made me feel welcome. I went for a lunch. It was quick great service with a smile. I have eaten Many Many different Jamaican j*** chicken, complete with peas and rice. Its my favorite dish. This dish was definitely up there for flavor profile. Authentic flavor and delicious taste. Highly recommend stopping in for a plate even for a lunch. Chicken was moist and spiced amazingly. My only complaint would be I would have liked more sauce on the rice because it was so good. Peas and rice tasted great as well. satisfied customer. Also had a paddy. was delicious.Parking: Park on the side street beside the building. Then walk around front.”
“On Thursday, we took advantage of the unlimited chicken wings and games offer (35$) and ordered tower beer ? . We indulged in a variety of chicken wings, making the experience thoroughly enjoyable. The service and atmosphere were excellent, and convenient parking was available. We savored the moment for 3-4 hours, and my child had a fantastic time.”
“The staff is very friendly and professional. The food was the worth the price, and the environment is very calm and comforting.Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly”
“It’s been our go-to for birthday dinners and a special night out for some time. I’m Glad they’re open again. The foods great, reasonable pricing and very friendly staff ! Nick has come to ask us how everything was each time we’ve been there. Everything we have tried in the menu is perfect”
“Thai kitchen is my favourite restaurant hands down . There Spring rolls are dynamite . Always friendly large portions love all there food Always amazing number 34 is my favourite”

“It honestly depends on the day you come here on how the service will be. You come during the week 9-5...youll get exceptional service. But if you come on a Saturday or Sunday mid afternoon. They won't even get one item right... Yeah I order a coffee and an ice cap. Said with cream. And the coffee was three milk/three sugar. Got my ice cap made with milk.... And the coffee was made with cream. So completely backwards. I go in to complain about it and I get NASTY looks from the staff like I WAS the one who did wrong. Nope sir... You don't deserve to get what you paid for. That's how I felt.So again. Go Monday to Friday. AND don't pay with cash. They'll ALWAYS try to steal your change as a tip. But this is all Tim Hortons in Thunder Bay.”
“Always, mostly expensive but excellent to this extent I'm sure its worth mentioning that I am worthy of an opinion and mindful of what I can share about my personal experience in the Industry of Commercial Personal business as a customer service City Resident that's born in Canada with no bias to Tim's .. love it !Parking: Not enough parking , but two drive thru..I'm a drive thru Customer..love it ..when I'm known for my business behaviour now It's my business to say ..Smile! Thank you too ? .I'm concerned but happy-go-lucky ( auto? ) Great ...Mr. Google ! Catch that buck ?? OMG she's here!! So Thank you , spread this wealth THANK GOODNESS FOR REAL TRUTH ..you too !”
“Very quick and polite service, was a quick in and out before work.Dietary restrictions: They have options for most dietary restrictions on request, just make sure that you do.”
“I come here all the time. I love the atmosphere at this Tim Hortons. Clean, good quality food made with care, great experience dining in and out, employees are always kind, and very hard working. Thank you for the always great service and experience here. My favourite Tim hortons in town.”
“Great coffee, pretty good espresso. Employees here are very friendly.It is worth mentioning that this is a hotspot for thunder bays most vulnerable people. The bathrooms here are this side of the town's new safe injection site. Be prepared to wait between 5-20 minutes to use the bathroom.There should be security employed at this location.This picture isn't a reflection of the store, the employees here make do with what they're given. And they're not given much.”
“We had a great time at Montanas, we got great food at the bar and our servers Christina and Ethan were amazing. Great conversations even though the bar was closing. Big thanks to them !!!!”
“Staff and customers are absolutely amazing. Such a friendly, and homey place. Always feel so welcomed and the service is possibly the best in town. Their food never fails. Neebing roadhouse has been up and running for years, and every seat is filled on the weekends. Says a lot in itself! Keep up the good work neebs!”

“Can every city do this please? I can’t stop thinking about how incredible this entire concept is. A volunteer run, community driven coffee shop focused on giving back — and with out-of-this-world coffee and baked goods, all housed in a beautiful church. I love the mission and how this has been brought to life. I came in for coffee, but left wanting to know so much more about the Urban Abbey and the community served (their website is full of info).But let’s get to the experience: I went two days in a row while visiting Thunder Bag. Both days I was greeted by genuinely kind and friendly staff. They made incredible drinks, had great suggestions for my 14 year old son, and we somehow arrived right as fresh baked goods were coming out of the oven. So good. I drink my coffee black and avoid fruity undertones. Their medium roast coffee was smooth and perfect.The space feels welcoming, cozy, and has beautiful artwork and stained glass windows. I love the pews as benches and the tables that mimic the shape of the windows. I appreciate the mix of new/modern with treasured/lived in. It’s perfection.I can’t wait to go back.”
“Dining in today—not here for the ambience, but the staff are nice and it’s very clean. The BEST Thai in TBay. My regular takeout order is the red curry. Big portion and tastes awesome!”
“The staff is very friendly and professional. The food was the worth the price, and the environment is very calm and comforting.Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly”
“Amazing service from Rebel Salad today. Ordered for delivery and my corn chips were forgotten but they went out of their way to drop some off, which wasn’t expected!! Thank you so much!”
“The best place for a cozy meal ❤️ I can’t go on enough about how truly wonderful The Bean Fiend is. The food is always homemade & delicious - the soups in particular!! The staff are so welcoming and kind. And the environment is homey and comforting. A perfect spot to go read a book & drink a tea, or meet a friend for lunch. 11/10”
“Clean and fast good food and the owner and workers very politeKid-friendliness: Very nice inside and clean so when you bring your children it's a good place to eatWheelchair accessibility: The spot to park is right outside the door and has a ramp with push button to open door easier for people”

“If you love coffee, visit this roaster! The coffee I had this morning was so good I am reluctant to drink any other for fear of being disappointed. The light roast Costa Rica natural process was one of the best cups I’ve had anywhere ever (and I am fussy about coffee).”
“The food is often ready faster then I expect. It’s always top quality and highly nutritious. Very enjoyable place to order pickup food. Mindfulness of being environmentally friendly is a high priority for this restaurant as well. Good ”
“The food here is absolutely delicious! Every dish we tried was bursting with flavors and cooked to perfection. I can’t say enough good things about the Greeting & Service we received from Chloe & Team. Their professionalism and warmth added a personal touch to our evening, and we left feeling thoroughly satisfied.”
“Carol’s Cakes accommodated a pretty unique request for a party with a two-in-one theme for us! The final product was absolutely unreal and tasted as great as it looked! The price for the product was extremely fair and they were so wonderful to work with. Everyone was blown away - thank you!”
“Gabby was a wonderful host at the Anchor and Ore restaurant in Thunder Bay. The food was amazing, and the view is the best in town overlooking Lake Superior and the Sleeping Gaint.”
“Great Pizza, but Other Dish Fall ShortI recently visited The Sovereign Room with high hopes of indulging in some delicious pizza. While the pizza certainly lived up to my expectations, I found the other food offerings to be rather lackluster.Let's start with the star of the show – the pizza. The Sovereign Roomtruly excels in this department. The crust was perfectly thin and crispy, with a delightful chewiness. The sauce had a well-balanced tanginess, and the toppings were fresh and flavorful. Each bite was a delightful explosion of cheesy goodness. If you're a pizza lover, this place is definitely worth a visit.However, my excitement diminished when I tried some of the other dishes on the menu. The non-pizza options, such as Duck Poutine and Gravy, were quite mediocre. The flavors seemed to lack depth, and the execution fell short of my expectations. It felt as though the focus and attention to detail that went into the pizza were not replicated in the other dishes.On a positive note, the service at The Sovereign Room was friendly and attentive. The staff was knowledgeable about the menu and provided helpful recommendations. The ambiance of the restaurant was cozy and inviting, creating a pleasant dining experience.In conclusion, if you're craving excellent pizza, The Sovereign Room is a great choice. The pizza alone makes it a worthwhile visit. However, if you're looking for a well-rounded dining experience with consistently impressive food beyond the pizza, you may want to explore other options.”
“A big rave to our server Ian! He made our lunch experience outstanding. We have never been asked our names while dining and he addressed us each time by name. Although he was very busy with many tables he did not miss a beat! We hope you take care of us next time as we were so impressed with your style and kindness.”

“We went there for the 1st time last night. Kept saying we were going to for a long while and never had.What a great atmosphere, with friendly,happy people of all different ages and backgrounds.There was only 1 waitress and a bartender, who did her best to help out, and she was completely amazing. We waited a while for our food, gave us more time to talk, and enjoyed our drinks.The food was so very yummy and fresh. Amazing what that chef can do in that little ktichen, kidos to you!!!We will be back!!!”
“My partner and I went for a dinner date here and it was wonderful! The staff were super kind to us and the food was delicious as always! The thing that stood out most that night was the waiter noticing us rolling our chop stick papers into little stands for our chopstick so she brought us cute ceramic chopstick rests and at the end of the night they told us we could keep them and wished us a merry Christmas! Extremely friendly staff! Was a great experience.”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“I have I think a great idea. DQ blizzard sundaes. Think cookies n cream with hot fudge sundae or a turtle blizzard with hot fudge sauce. Strawberry cheesecake blizzard sundae with the strawberry sauce. I would definitely buy one or two or more.”
“The friendliest location, and always super fast!! My go to treat for a late night (they have great hours) or a little snack in the day!! Highly recommendVegetarian options: Love the beyond meat burger!Dietary restrictions: They’re fantastic at subbing out mayo and cheese on the beyond meat burger to make it vegan!”
“I recommend the buddy burger with cheese and bacon added! Delicious. If your not a mustard fan, request no mustard! At all locations, they seem to drown the burger in too much mustard.”
“If McDonald's forgets to put an item that you have ordered they will mark your name in a book and the next time you go by you can pickup your item. Looking forward to my two sundaes.Wheelchair accessibility: Very wheelchair accessible.”
“The food is great. Had a big crunch combo with fries and gravy. Also ordered a bucket of chicken. Relatively fast when you order your meals. Gravy tastes awesome. Friendly service. Of course you have to wear your mask for the covid restrictions”
“My reason for going is always for a Julius. I love them! Their ice cream is always a treat too. Had a strawberry banana Julius with a fresh banana added, excellent as always, I'm a little upset the serving size has decreased substantially and the price is the same. A large is so much smaller than it used to be, I haven't been there in about 2 years now and last time I was there they were still the normal large size. Also had a dbl burger and i was surprised it was pretty good. (Way better than McDs, which doesn't say much lol). 5 star is for the Julius!”
“Everything was good except; (1) washroom was not clean..toilet was disgusting, so at was falling off. (2) counter for soft drinks was in need of cleaning..spilled pop made for sticky and gross counters. The staff was very helpful and courteous, made us feel very welcome.”
“Excelexnt this time..but I will comment on a very upsetting time I had withbthe worst-case behavior and with the Manger named Mark also who called me OUT as racist or discriminating as I am not ! As a past owner of that very same MDs LOL the drive thru was delayed ,the food was cold and order wrong, and the two were speaking a different language to one another ? Okay ?! I'm from another country and paid . You're to not throw me my order at me and allow me to pay you for it and then speak something nasty to eachother and hand me ketchup. So Mark Mgr calls me Racist? And I'm a colourful person Thank you”
“Absolutely BEST restaurant experience I've had in this town. There is a male server there that I always see puts a smile on everyone's face. He deserves a raise. My drink is never empty. And my Swiss Chalet sauce is NEVER empty either.”
“Ordered online and picked up.Done fast and it was very good. Couldn't have been better.I was concerned with bad reviews but I took a chance and I was very happy.”
“After seeing so many bad reviews I figure I should balance the scale. This tims is by far the fastest drive through in town. Even though you might have to line up on the street, they get you through quick. It also has the friendliest staff. Especially in the AM. All the ladies there are so kind and always make it a great experience. Unlike the other shops in town my order has never come out wrong here. Keep up the great work.”
“Love that McDonald's is very convenient to find in all different locations in Thunder Bay, ONFor Food its 5 ⭐'s.Service I gave it 4 ⭐'sand for Atmosphere 3 ⭐'s.”
“I'm glad that they are on skip the dishes now, so I can get my favourite order which is the Zinger Twister combo more conveniently. Never had an issue with the food. so for me, I don't have any complaints really. It might take a few minutes for the food to be ready, but I am more than okay with that.”
“Order fries no salt.....guaranteed to be fresh everytime....then add salt n pepper as you like...Kid-friendliness: Very good with the kiddos...balloons activity and colour books and crayons.”
“The McDonald's was typical. The only real issue is the location. The area is not the safest and there can be problems with the local transient population. Most are fine but some are aggressive or agitated.”

Anchor & Ore
“Gabby was a wonderful host at the Anchor and Ore restaurant in Thunder Bay. The food was amazing, and the view is the best in town overlooking Lake Superior and the Sleeping Gaint.”
“As an individual who has eaten my fair share of sandwiches, I can unequivocally say that the lunchtime sandwiches at Fresco's are some of the best I've ever eaten. Quality indegredients, made to order, and fresh. The lunch special has tremendous value. Johnny makes the sandwiches with care and is quick to strike up a conversation. Friendly and warm atmosphere. The grocery section is also unreal. Some unique items that are worth the trip. Pepperettes were world class. Johnny is a national treasure.”
“We had my dad's celebration of life here and I want to sincerely thank all the wonderful staff. They were so nice and accommodating helping us organize things, the staff the day of were great and very helpful, we really had a nice time and are very grateful for all they did for us. Thank you so much!”
Cheap Eats
“I had the pleasure of dining at JJs Restaurant last night for supper and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. First of all, the food was outstanding. I ordered large wonton soup and chicken fried rice and both dishes were prepared to perfection. The flavors were rich and authentic, and each bite was a delight.What truly stood out was the impeccable customer service. Gabbie the server and Trang were incredibly attentive and friendly throughout the entire meal. They went above and beyond to ensure that my dining experience was nothing short of excellent. I will definitely be returning in the future.”
“Aroma Bliss has exceptional food and service. My experience was very good. The food was delicious and the staff were very friendly! I highly recommend Aroma Bliss!”
“Sal's is a classic downhome style restaurant that's been added since 1964. Nothing trendy here which is fabulous. Perfect place for a solid traditional breakfast. Everything on my plate was good and cooked perfectly.”
“I’m a regular at Windy Shores, it’s my favourite cafe in town! Sadie and Kyle are amazing - welcoming and professional. I’m always greeted like a friend.(And to the woman who said Sadie greeted her with a frown, and the oat milk latte was sour - nothing could be further from the truth! Sadie is sweet and kind, and the oat milk latte is my regular drink - I had just had an excellent one that very afternoon!)Anne O’Brien”
“My favourite place! Whether enjoying the warm cozy interior or serene gorgeous patio, while listening to great background or live music. The staff is always friendly & everything on the menu is delicious!Parking: Even when it’s busy I always find parking near-by.”
“Staff is super friendly! Loved their gluten free options- I didn’t feel like I had to stick to only 2 items on the menu which was awesome. Food was fantastic and huge portions!”
“So happy to have authentic Syrian food right here in good ol Thunder Bay. The family that owns RA are just the sweetest, most hard working people. Food is delicious. Definitely try it out if you haven’t already. Can’t go wrong with anything on their menu, though I personally enjoy the falafel wrap or platter.”
“EDIT: The business made it MORE than right, checked in our health, refunded and is making changes for allergens. They reacted promptly, with kindness and understanding. WOULD RECOMMEND 1 week ago the sandwich we ordered was nut free. you added cashews without changing the online description, we are now dealing with a medical emergency because of this. allergens are serious and if you want to change a recipe fine but LET CUSTOMERS KNOW!”
“This is a great place to buy organic whole coffee beans. The coffee is truly amazing, however, I wish they would provide just a little more information on the bags beyond "organic espresso" or "organic decaf" baristas were very helpful in helping me choose my grind size.”

“Amazing food and value.Nice location in Current River. It is nice and clean insideThe service was excellent with very friendly staff.The atmosphere was perfect for a burger joint.I will definitely be back.”
“I was brought here by my uncle almost 15 years ago and told that he and my mother used to eat here when they were in college. Apparently the service has been amazing since like the early 1900s and the family that runs it are amazing. Always friendly and they don’t judge me for ordering enough food for 3 people! I’ll continue to visit a few times a month. If they had a contract with SkipTheDishes, I’d probably be there every night”
“Was there on July 29th for an early lunch. The food was absolutely amazing. Ordered the Cluck Norris and the Canadian breakfast bowl. Words cannot describe how delicious these meals were. Service was amazing!”
“We were a group of 14, and the single server did a great job keeping us in food and drink. Food was tasty and hot, except for the steaks our party ordered. They were tough and for the price, not worth it. The server did make a 2nd steak for one of the guests. The burgers were huge and tasty. The salads were fresh and crisp. The sandwiches and chicken tacos were all good.”
“Great Pizza, but Other Dish Fall ShortI recently visited The Sovereign Room with high hopes of indulging in some delicious pizza. While the pizza certainly lived up to my expectations, I found the other food offerings to be rather lackluster.Let's start with the star of the show – the pizza. The Sovereign Roomtruly excels in this department. The crust was perfectly thin and crispy, with a delightful chewiness. The sauce had a well-balanced tanginess, and the toppings were fresh and flavorful. Each bite was a delightful explosion of cheesy goodness. If you're a pizza lover, this place is definitely worth a visit.However, my excitement diminished when I tried some of the other dishes on the menu. The non-pizza options, such as Duck Poutine and Gravy, were quite mediocre. The flavors seemed to lack depth, and the execution fell short of my expectations. It felt as though the focus and attention to detail that went into the pizza were not replicated in the other dishes.On a positive note, the service at The Sovereign Room was friendly and attentive. The staff was knowledgeable about the menu and provided helpful recommendations. The ambiance of the restaurant was cozy and inviting, creating a pleasant dining experience.In conclusion, if you're craving excellent pizza, The Sovereign Room is a great choice. The pizza alone makes it a worthwhile visit. However, if you're looking for a well-rounded dining experience with consistently impressive food beyond the pizza, you may want to explore other options.”

“A big rave to our server Ian! He made our lunch experience outstanding. We have never been asked our names while dining and he addressed us each time by name. Although he was very busy with many tables he did not miss a beat! We hope you take care of us next time as we were so impressed with your style and kindness.”

“We were visiting from out of town and needed a restaurant for dinner. We could only get a reservation for 8:30pm on a Saturday. Wow. The food here is fantastic. Highly recommend the pan seared duck breast. Very delicious and filling. Servings are not small. Great to see downtown PA coming back to life again with many good and fun restaurants.”

“Went last night. food wasn't great. expensive and small portions. Ordered a Caesar and it was made so spicy I couldn't even drink it. Mojito was made with too much liquor .. didn't taste very good. The Cesar was still on the bill even though it was noticeably untouched. Long wait for the bill. Also what's with the lack of napkins, straws and cutlery lol.”
“This location is franchise perfect. The restaurant is clean, the employees are friendly and hard working. They try to be as quick with your order as possible and communicate if it is coming out slow… and did I mention they are nice? Will definitely go back for more!”
“I had the pleasure of dining at JJs Restaurant last night for supper and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. First of all, the food was outstanding. I ordered large wonton soup and chicken fried rice and both dishes were prepared to perfection. The flavors were rich and authentic, and each bite was a delight.What truly stood out was the impeccable customer service. Gabbie the server and Trang were incredibly attentive and friendly throughout the entire meal. They went above and beyond to ensure that my dining experience was nothing short of excellent. I will definitely be returning in the future.”

“On Thursday, we took advantage of the unlimited chicken wings and games offer (35$) and ordered tower beer ? . We indulged in a variety of chicken wings, making the experience thoroughly enjoyable.
