After a cold and blustery walk around Ryan's Premises (National Historic Site) we were looking for…read morea warm cup of coffee. On the top of the rise beside the courthouse is a small building. Only 2 doors, one labelled pub, the other labelled cafe. We opted for the cafe side and stepped into small town Newfoundland! This is a locals place, with local dishes and house made desserts. We tried a few things, and settled in to listen to the locals and share some time here. It was magical, the food is home style, so nothing fancy, but the people and feeling of an old time cafe will bring me back if I'm ever here again.

Road trip to Carbonear today!…read more The Stone Jug is perfectly situated on Water Street overlooking ... the beautiful water. The Stone Jug has so much history and character. Windows and doors wide open you feel the fresh air off the water. Couldn't ask for a more perfect way to spend the afternoon or evening with friends or family over a drink +/- food. Despite the pub fare focused menu I threw caution to the wind and ordered the vegetarian pizza and it didn't disappoint. Good size for 2 people, light, airy, yet chewy crust (?wood fire oven) and full of flavour. Paired with a Mill Street Organic Lager and you've got a great Saturday evening meal. Our waitress was fantastic! Super warm and friendly. Made us feel very welcomed and comfortable. I give The Stone Jug 4/5 stars only because they do not have many "vegetarian options" on their menu (fish & chips, salad, and veg pizza) AND the building is not easily accessible to folks with mobility challenges; there is no wheelchair ramp.

It took over 45 min to serve 8 people sandwiches/burgers when the restaurant had maybe 15 customers , the fries were good probably a 7.5/10, the corned beef was the worst sandwich I have had of any kind.ever. Chunks of cold corned beef on a dry French baguette. SPAM would have been an upgrade. Unfortunate as we were having a family gathering and had high expectations. Best comment was the Smash Burger was better than McDonalds...lol

The bar tenders were nice but they could hardly pour beer and didnt seem to know anything about Gander... everybody was nice enough, but every order was a challenge, the place also is on top of what looks like shut down hotel.

I specifically asked if the mushrooms were fresh and was assured they were... After a 2 and half hour wait, without even asked to refresh the drink, the meal arrived. A minute steak - cooked grey, canned mushrooms - not even warmed up, and the Caesar salad was imitation bacon bits, Kraft dressing, and boxed croutons...horrible,,,I was starving, took a couple mouthfuls and left it. NEVER AGAIN AND I WOULD NEVER RECOMMED THIS PLACE. I HAVE A PICTURE

When you ask people in St. John's these days where the best fish and chips is they all say it's…read morethis place. Except many cannot remember the name, because they haven't been there long perhaps. Or maybe they've changed names? Or maybe they've just got one of those forgettable/confusable names and everyone just expects that you know what place they are talking about when they say : "The place out by the Ferry, right off the side of the road, oh darn, wassits name? Crazy Horses??? Wild Stallion?.... aw shaggit, just go there - you'll love it!!!" Such was the case with us when we visited. Google searches and local business searches were useless. Phonecalls by brother-in-law who called his family, also useless. So we went. We came. We saw. We conquered a tonne of delicious food. Wild Horses couldn't drag me away from this plate of fish, chips, dressing, gravy and peas. http://www.yelp.ca/biz_photos/j6fgQJ2g08Om8Y03d7se6A?select=QOxehuw03qKvYMOw33neSQ Nothing like it.
