Super local cafe. Solid homemade food. Favourite with the locals. Don't let the outside fool you…read more The food is fabulous and the service is excellent. Clientele on the cafe side ranges from 5 to 75. Give it go.

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.

Mother's Day 2025 We…read morehad a reservation for 12:30 and were shown to our table on time. We ordered from the menu, a number of specials were available. Our food arrived at 2:18. NOT ACCEPTABLE. No explanation provided. It's a shame really because is a lovely place. I should add that this was not the first visit but it was the last. Previous visits were better but only marginally. The service isn't great and the food isn't worth waiting for. However, they do have a good selection of beer.

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.

Dont judge Gander by your first experience at Legends, just have a drink and keep looking for the…read moreLegion! 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. We had sepcific goals in gander and we knew this place did Screeching in... just not on the night we were there, one of our many hilarious momenst in Canada.

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.
