    Burger special.
    Gail R.

    Awesome food and fast service. Best burger I have had in a long time. Great place. We stopped in while camping in the area. Delicious fries too. Big portions.

    Pretty good burger place in Thunder Bay. The menu is pretty standard- burgers and fries. Service is good. Quality of food is better than any fast food joint in the city. I did order the "Famous" Blue Collar combo which is basically a hamburger/cheeseburger, fries and soda - but decided to upgrade to a poutine (which was the right choice- they make it pretty good).

    I was happy with the good service and juicy burger with fries for a very good price. It will be my go to burger spot in Thunder Bay.

    4.5/5 We ordered on…read moreUberEats after hearing many great things about this place. In terms of burgers, we ordered a Signature burger and a Stack It Up burger. The Stack It Up burger was much larger (in height and diameter), for a couple of dollars extra, I'd say it's worth going for it over the Signature. The beef patties were juicy and well-seasoned. Considering a Big Mac is $6+, a Stack It Up burger is for sure worth it at $8.50. Now, regarding the large poutine we ordered. This was such a pleasant surprise. It was HUGE and they gave us such a generous heaping of cheese curds and gravy. It definitely satisfied my poutine craving. As for the onion rings, they were pretty standard. Nothing spectacular, and a bit pricey. Overall, for the fact that I have high standards for burgers, I was pretty impressed. I'd come here again and would recommend checking this place out if you're looking for a good burger spot in Thunder Bay.

No bacon no extravagant ingredients to justify that cost. didn't really think much of it cause I was expecting a top of the line burger. My buddy ordered a burger with one paddy and with a tip only cost 7 dollars. It's not the cost I have to complain about, the burger was disgusting. It was falling apart, messiest burger I've ever attempted eating. Definitely not going back any time soon. Hope they do well and fix that burger

    Big fan of FeastON® restaurants so was hoping to arrive in Thunder Bay from the west to be able to…read moregrab dinner here at Tomlin. Walked in around 7pm and were promptly greeted and asked if we wanted to sit at the bar or dining room. We chose the dining room so we walked down the narrow wooden floor hallway to a back area where their dining area was. The table already had drink menus on it which makes sense as reviews say this restaurant is great for cocktails and they have a huge selection of wines. Our server soon brought over water for us and food menus. She asked if either of us had any food allergies, which we didn't. Also explained which section was appetizers/shareable plates and which were mains. Also mentioned that the menu is seasonal and everything on it currently is so good. After giving us some time to choose, she took our order. We ordered one shareable, Tuna Crudo. It was well balanced being sweet, sour, creamy, fresh, and with a tiny little kick. It made it evident that the mains would be really tasty as well. Server came back to not only take away the empty plate, but also swapped out our small plates and cutlery for new ones. Both of our mains arrived at the same time, descriptions of what ingredients were in each. Portion size was definitely fair (not too little and not huge) so we left satisfied and full, but not stuffed. Only regret was that we were only a party of 2, otherwise would have loved to order their Family Style Tasting (the table next to us had it and everything looked delicious). In terms of ambience, seating is cozy, as there isn't a whole lot of space between tables, but it's workable. As well, the lighting is pretty dim for our preference, but can understand why others might enjoy it. We walked over from our hotel, but looks like there is street parking in the area. Overall, had a very pleasant dining experience and service and hospitality was top-notch.

Rather, the friendly service, innovative cookery, and high quality, locally sourced ingredients speak for themselves. I was in town to celebrate my birthday and this place was so special. Also if you want something a little more casual, they have a pizza place a few blocks away tucked inside a brewery, which is also fantastic!
