Top Hat/Smokey's...its complicated…read more I'm from Toronto, so maybe I'm spoiled, but when you live in 'downtown' Sault Ste. Marie there are limited options most nights for a pint. There are a couple great pubs here but sadly they are not open Sun-Tues. Top/Hat Smokey's is open from 5pm-2am every day, so they have that in their corner. Other than that, they don't offer much. They have the typical domestic drafts on tap - which is fine - but the problem is that ownership doesn't clean the lines. (I made the mistake of drinking the draft once, I paid dearly the next day.) Stick with the cans and bottles and you'll be fine. They have a load of pool tables and tabletop games available and a pretty awesome jukebox. I haven't bothered eating there. The entire menu is pre-packaged, deep-fried foods, and they don't bother employing a chef. The bartenders and servers have to do the cooking. Wtf? It is pretty slow Sun-Thurs. The place is JAMMED with teenagers Friday and Saturday, so if you are over the age of 25, don't bother. Unless that's your type of thing. This place has two redeeming qualities, the hours of operation and the staff. I wanted to give this place two stars, but as I said the staff the staff is great so I'll give it three based on them. If you are looking for a drink and a smile, then Top Hat/Smokey's will do you well. If you are looking for anything more, go elsewhere.

Don't bring your kids here. We went for my sons 6th birthday to go bowling. Played for 10 mins and…read morethe lanes broke. My son got really upset so we moved to go and play the arcade games. Most of the arcade games didn't work either. I went back to the counter to pay and the Manager wanted full price for bowling. $70 for 10 mins even though bowling wasn't working and none of the games were working. The Manager was very rude and ruined a nice afternoon out for my son on his birthday. This place is sketchy, the soo knows that. I had hoped things were better but ya, don't go here. To the Manager: stick to serving up drugs on the weekend!

Food was fine, inexperience of the servers was pretty obvious, suppose no fault of theirs. We arrived late (10pm) from the hotel, and they felt it necessary to constantly remind us that they were closing at 11, maybe that meant they weren't interested on serving us? Restaurant didn't close till 1030, usually a bit too late for me to order but we were short on options. Menh...drink, play, hang...or whatever their slogan is.

Stopped in late March for something to eat after a day at the Locks. It appeared relatively empty…read morebut it's a good sized place so it's a bit deceiving to see how many people are there. The lighting is good and the overall atmosphere was chill. Music played in the background and didn't interfere with conversation. 20 beers on tap. A huge bar. A pool table. All kinds of fun to be had! So, let's talk food. A simple front and back menu loaded with goodies. Two different Rueben appetizers speak to the passion of an Irish Pub. It's in the Sault, however, and the fish is the real steal of the show. I judge that everything on this menu is made with care and comes out delicious. The perch are deep fried, light and tender. Their "famous" questo tastes a lot like grandma's rotel and is absolutely delicious. Beers, Bloody Mary's, Fish, Irish fare, burgers, quality service, and plenty of seating make this place a worthy stop for nearly every audience. Come on in and you won't be disappointed. (the prices are too low to mention, imo)

Coming in, we found the place dark and packed, many people discussing consuming cocaine which was off putting. I went to the bar to get drinks, and the bartender was out of the first four items I asked for, so I had to settle for a different drink. When paying for the drinks, the bartender let me know it was cash for under $10, and didn't tell me until after she opened the drinks and was lucky I had cash on me. Overall, I don't think I'd be back. It's a pretty fairly sketchy place and not somewhere I'd want to be alone as a woman.

What a view! Captain's Pub & Grill is set up to afford diners a spectacular view of the St. Mary's…read moreRiver just below the Soo Locks. The view alone makes it worth a visit. Service... not so much. Hubby and I walked into the restaurant at 11:55am, right past a sign that said breakfast was served until 1:00pm. We were seated by our server and handed only a lunch menu. Upon inquiry, we were told we were "too late" because it was past noon (it wasn't). As we began to question this, the server heaved a big sigh and said she "guessed" we could have breakfast menus because, "you know... um... it's not too busy." So gracious. And she maintained her barely cordial attitude throughout the meal. Food... rivals the view. At least the menu item we both ordered does. Both hubby and I indulged in the sausage and biscuit supreme. And supreme it was! The two biscuits were so fluffy they were trying to float off the plate. Luckily, they were held down by sweet and salty pan-fried ham, which was covered by divinely creamy sausage gravy, interspersed with sizeable chunks of peppery sausage. On top, two eggs crowned the huge plate of nom-nom-nom-nom. My eggs were over easy, hubby chose scrambled and topped with cheese. Nutshell: if you're in Sault Ste. Marie, this is a place you must visit for the view and the breakfast.

So every year we end up there, hoping something has changed; sadly, if it changes it is only for the worse. The service is acceptable at best. Unattentive and lacking are typically more accurate descriptions. On Saturday we decided to have a snack while having a couple beers, and opted for the Ultimate Grande Nachos. For $13.99 I expected real food, or at the least, highly disguised canned/premade items. We received a 9" plate with liquid gold, gas station cheese over chips and topped with the most questionable "beef" I have ever seen. (Seriously, Taco Bells nachos are better and a fraction of the price.) There was also something akin to salty snot that we were told was guacomole. I wasn't disappointed, I was angry...mostly at myself for being duped by a menu that offers "hand stretched tortillas". For a restaurant masquerading itself as "cuisine", I expected so much more than fast food on a ceramic plate.
