My husband had the liver and onions with homemade made mash potatoes. He said they were just like mom use to make. So tender. My wings and onion were so tasty. Will definitely be back. The atmosphere was fantastic.

Are you kidding me? An absolute must stop. We’ll never pass this roadside attraction again without stopping to enjoy the down home cooking. 3 napkin burgers are a thing...trust us!

Don’t miss this place. Great food and staff. Best fries I think I have found in Ontario. Menu has exactly what you would expect to find on a small home cooking restaurant menu. 100% will be stopping here again.

The ultimate diner experience- great homemade food and the kind of genuine hospitality and down-home atmosphere that you only get in a family-run business frequented by locals. We come here as often as we can - the fish and chips are our go-to but all of the menu items look awesome. Always a great selection of homemade pies and BUTTER TARTS!!!

The poutine was great! Not expensive either! I loved the option of having either mixed cheese or cheese curds, because I prefer mixed. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in Elliot Lake.
