The most friendly staff and new owners. Delicious food and great menu.
We have been going to Sweet G’s since they opened. Great food, very nice staff. Highly recommend. Thank you so very much for the strawberry shortcake for our 50th anniversary tonight. It was very fresh and yummy. The fish and hot hamburger nip was excellent as always.
The BEST Finn pancakes in Thunder Bay. And really good with raisins and cinnamon.

Dawson Diner, formerly known as Sweet G's, is a beloved breakfast and lunch spot in Thunder Bay, known for its home-cooked style meals and friendly atmosphere. The diner offers popular dishes like fluffy pancakes, which are praised for their good flavor and light texture, and the perfect Eggs Benedict. The food is generally very good and fairly priced, with many customers appreciating the fresh, tasty options such as clubhouse sandwiches, Denver omelets, and the lumberjack breakfast. The diner also features a clean, modern, and slightly fancy renovated atmosphere, with a notably improved, clean bathroom that adds to the pleasant experience. Service is consistently friendly and professional, making visitors feel welcome and well cared for. Desserts like homemade cheesecake, blueberry, and cherry pie are highly recommended. However, some customers find their deep-fried options like onion rings and cheese curds to be overpriced for the small portions received. Despite this, Dawson Diner remains a hidden gem for those seeking "home cooking" with hearty gravy, fresh ingredients, and a cozy environment. Whether stopping by for breakfast or lunch, guests often leave satisfied and eager to return.
