All but 3 were…read morestill open around 8pm so it made sense to go to JJ's Called in my order around 8:20 and the server was joking on the other end which made for a pleasant order experience. Said I ordered the best item currently as his favorite was the Chicken Wrap as well. Said my order would be ready in 30 min. So it gave me time to wrap up some work and walk on over since it was a 10 min walk. Got to the restaurant and I told the lady seating people down I was there for carry out and she redirected me to the bar. Once at the bar the lady took my name and went to the back to grab my meal. When I thought a simple chicken wrap, I didn't think it would be so huge. The portion for it was quite generous. I had also asked for a side of gravy for my fries and damn, it was a whole side tub. If you're eating here, def be ready to be served. As I was leaving they had some Halloween decorations ready for spooky season. I feel like it would be a fun time to be in a small town for Halloween

Well the manager Renee tried explaining to the lady that because the card was so old that the system purged her gift card. The woman finally paid for her food. So next is apparently her son and husband placing their order. The husband keep looking at me and finally said "sorry"! Ya right!! I told him that I had already placed my order and that my food was probably cold! This whole ordeal went on for about 15 minutes!! Renee the manager who was dealing with them never acknowledged me or asked one of the employees to help. While standing there I considered just walking out!!! I should have! Renee got my grinder and I asked if it was cold. Not once did she apologize. I live 1 mile from Mancino's and by the time I got home my grinder wasn't even Luke warm. I will never step foot into this establishment again!! I'm kicking myself for not going to JJ's.

We were all satisfied with our choices. Our 2yr old ate up the pizza. Their beer options are also great! The whole place is open spaced with regular tables, high tops, booths & bar area where you can sit. Lots of area for foot & stroller traffic. Very kid friendly: with high chairs & changing areas in the restroom (parent win)! There were also few families that were there at the same time. The person who served us (sorry couldn't remember her name) but was very friendly, accommodating & over all made our dining experience great.

We worried that we might be under dressed, casually in jeans and tanks. Yelp said this place was great. It was. We dined with 3 kids who all jammed out on the kids meals, spaghetti with homemade noodles, hand breaded chicken tenders and pizza that was SO good. Adults had salmon x2, scallop risotto, eggplant Parm and the almond crusted halibut. Everything was amazing, we were passing forks around like covid never happened. The clam chowder, Devine. I am so impressed. First time in , likely won't be in the area without stopping back. Our service was PHENOMENAL and our waitress knew the menu, made great recommendations and was amazing.

We waited 5 or 10 minutes for one of them to take our order but no luck, they were more interested in yacking to each other than taking orders. We decided to head inside where one of the bartenders came over and took our beverage order. The beers were good, 45th Paralyzer, Cherry Bomb, and a Pilsner. When they brought the beers they took our food order. All items we purchased were excellent; poutine fries, ribeye mushroom Swiss sandwich, and the classic cheese burger. WARNING, the poutine fries order is huge, best to split between 2 or 3 people. The building is nice and there are ample outdoor seating options and indoor you can sit at standard tables or high tops. Outside of being ignored outside, this was a great lunch experience.
