It's going to be a tight fit with just three tables of four. Hang on tight, it's a culinary delight of Canadian and American flavors! Start with the dry ribs. Amazing!!!!! Try some Jerk chicken poutine. Fantastic!!!! Another beer/wine/sparkling to cleanse the pallet. Your going to need it. Cesar salad to cool your tongue down, cold romain with house made dressing with just the right amount of anchovie for some light kick. Finished with fish and chips, light battered fillet atop a mound of fresh cut fries. Mac and cheese three with truffle oil and shallots. Flavor abounds! Fete du complete with their double chocolate brownie to end this flavor extravaganza. Wow.... How one Chef in a tiny cottage kitchen can produce this quality of food......I don't know how, but keep it coming. Outstandingl restaurant and staff.

Simple menus with something for everyone's tastes. We had the burger (which was indeed homemade), poutine (best in Bala), salad and the mac and cheese. Everyone was very pleased. When walking in - the small interior will throw you off but if the weathers right - the patio is awesome. Can't recommend this place enough if you're looking for affordable and something the kids will love. Service and food were top notch.

My wife had the mac n cheese and I had the loaded Dirty Burger, made it a double. The burger was fantastic! Interestingly, they serve it with potato wedges instead of fries (and lots of them!), nice change.

With an oven on display and a significant portion of the menu dedicated to wood fired pizza, I had…read moreto try one. The classic pizza ($22.50) seemed like the ideal choice, essentially a pepperoni pie. While it wasn't terrible, it also wasn't good - the crust too hard and the tomato sauce tasted canned. It's certainly not the thin blistery Napoli pies their menu describes. If anything, it's something you'd find at Boston Pizza. At least it was covered with a decent amount of mozzarella to make it nice and gooey. Their lunch special, a Korean fried chicken sandwich ($20) was a popular choice. If they just charged a couple dollars more to use a thicker slice of chicken it'd be delicious. Unfortunately, the thin cutlet was too dry and the sweet sauce overwhelming. Even the coleslaw couldn't counteract the sugariness of the glaze. If anything, the potato wedges were the best part of the dish - an abundant portion of the hot and crispy spuds.

Super Friendly Service. Great Prices…read more The location lives up to the chain's slogan: "The way food ought to be, priced the way it used to be." While box restaurants like these are one of my guilty pleasures, I never expect much from them. This Chuck's Roadhouse location, however, was just pretty much good times all around. The waitress was incredibly friendly, even to the point of telling us how we could hack the menu to save a few bucks. The food was fresh and tasty, and served relatively promptly. And our bill came to probably 3/4 of what it would've in any other box restaurant. So if you're in Huntsville and looking for a reliable, reasonably priced steak (along with a few drinks), I'd encourage you to drop in here.

Scroll down for the TLDR version…read more Stopped by Huntsville for a quick lunch before heading back out to the road. This was one of the rare places around the area that opened at 11 AM on Saturday so that was nice. The place provides the option of indoor dining, patio seating (weather permitting) and is pet friendly. (Some places unfortunately don't allow pets even with a patio so always good to call ahead to check first). The server was nice and attentive and offered my friends dog some water without us asking. The only downside when it came to service was the wait time. When we got a seat it was only us and one other table but we still had to wait quite some time for our food. The food itself was quite yummy. I had a strawberry pecan salad with grilled chicken while my friend had their burger with a side of gravy. The ingredients in the strawberry salad was fresh, the nuts were nicely candied and the chicken was juicy. It was refreshing to eat on a hot day and I felt quite satisfied after. In terms of the burger and the ingredients that went into making it, it was simple but once again, the ingredients were fresh and that's what makes a great burger. The gravy was that came on the side with the burger was additional $1.50 but in my option it was well worth it and went amazing with the fries. I would definitely come back if I was in the area again but if I was in a rush I would just order take out. TLDR: Attentive service, delicious food and fair prices, slightly longer wait time for food (If in rush, order take out)

If you're driving through Kearney and don't stop at DJ's Grill & More, you're seriously missing out…read moreon one of the best little hidden gems in cottage country. Conveniently located right on #518 as you enter town, beside the Algonquin Park permit office, this place has become one of my favourite regular stops. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and wonderfully small-town. The food? Absolutely incredible. They serve all-day breakfast, lunch, and their famous Fish Fridays, and everything I've tried has been fantastic. I often grab a coffee and breakfast wrap on my way to work, but if you're hungry, their Big Breakfast could probably fuel a lumberjack for a week. For lunch, my usual go-to is the beef dip with Caesar salad or poutine, but today I tried the hot beef closed-face sandwich with a Greek salad and honestly, WOW. It looked like something from a food magazine and tasted even better. Rich, homemade comfort food done right. I think what really makes DJ's stand out though is how pet friendly they are. Their patio welcomes well behaved dogs and they even have an actual dog menu! My pup was treated like a VIP with fresh water and a delicious meal of his own while we relaxed on the patio. That kind of care and friendliness is rare these days. Whether you're heading to Algonquin Park, passing through from Highway 11, or just looking for a scenic excuse to get out of Huntsville for the day, DJ's is absolutely worth the 25 minute drive. Just note they're not open most evenings, so plan accordingly. Do yourself, and your taste buds, a favour and stop in as soon as possible. You'll leave full, happy, and already planning your next visit.
