Popular with locals that know and often packed, they deliver high quality breakfast experiences the way it should be. Bacon of the highest standards, eggs over easy that are never runny, the most scrumptious breakfast potatoes, and the friendliest service. My personal favorite thing is that the toast comes to me BUTTERED! No more waiting on a frozen pat of butter to defrost in front of me while my toast gets cold and inedible. What a revelation! Thanks Barnacle Bill for solving this issue that causes millions of breakfast fails around the world daily. Please patent the idea and retire prosperous. Aside from breakfast there's classic local fish and chips, salads, burgers, and a rare treat: Newfie fries-- a poutine with stuffing and gravy. Doesn't get more Canadian than that. Enjoy!

The waiter handed the machine to my boyfriend and when he was about to tap his card to pay, she stopped him and asked him to go back and add a tip. When she noticed he had already added a tip, she said the amount out loud (there are many people seated around us), and then allowed him to continue paying. Before this, our waiter was nice but did not seem to pay much attention to us compared to the people around us. Disappointing experience second time around.

So I arrived to put my order, the dine in was closed and the entrance was converted to a take out window. Before I could put an order a caucasian senior lady cut in front of me!!! Thankfully the gentleman and everyone else waiting for their ordered agreed and gave her the stink eye. I ordered the family deal with white fish. The deal comes close but slightly more expensive than their 7.08+tax lunch deal. The fry was great, crispy. The fries were not phosphate coated so not crunchy. The order was served with three small containers of tar tar sauce made in house. Not sure why it was yellow. Order was great overall, but they forgot the ketchup. Two people operating the business.

I stumbled on Riverside Fish Hut (thanks to YELP) and was impressed with the price for their family meals. Much less then anything I've seen around me so we went ahead and ordered for pickup. Located in a small plaza, the restaurant is very spacious for dine-in (a bit out-dated but does that really matter if the food is good?) and we were greeted and served quickly! I was a bit apprehensive whether the fish would be nicely sized and tasty given the amazing price for a family meal of 10 pieces and 4 fries but to my great surprise, they were perfect! About 3oz of fish each, the batter is light (not heavy and overpowering) and the fish was perfectly cooked, the fries were crispy and abundant (definitely more than 4 servings) and I also liked the gravy (which I got on the side). They even gave us an extra piece of fish (we got 11 pieces instead of 10!). So worth the 30 minute drive from Guelph! Highly recommend!

Not great. The lineups were long and the buffet isn't situated in a large enough area. You feel like you're on top of the person in front and behind you. The salad selection was ok but nothing stood out as really tasty. In fact, the shrimps were water logged and really crappy. They claim they have 16 feet of desserts. You'd think, "that's a lot of desserts." Nope. They take all the pies and cut them into slices, place them on plates and lay it on a table. So, it's 16 feet of plates. It was hard to get coffee and refills of water as the staff were never around to do so. They were good about clearly plates though. It's an old, tired looking restaurant. Many rooms and no "flow". Just seems odd. I would not return. The cost/value ratio is off the charts.

It's a very decent price for what you get, for fine dining. I was SO excited to hear that the tasting menu comes with 2 starters, 2 entrees and 2 desserts. First off, the outside of the restaurant is very unassuming. The signage is pretty basic and you can't really see what's inside. On the other hand, the interior is sleek and modern, very clean. The service is also top notch... they're all very personable and attentive. I felt so special here and it wasn't even my celebration (I came with a group of 7 for my sister's bachelorette) LOL. Onto the highlight, the fooood! For the tasting menu you don't know what you're going to get as it's not listed anywhere, likely because they change up the items so frequently based on what's in season and fresh. I won't go into full detail about all the items because everything was amazinnnng and this would be too long a review. In addition to the tasting menu, we also got a fresh oyster and delicious bread with sheep's milk cheese to kick off the meal.. it was such a pleasant surprise. When the servers bring each dish and explain what everything is, you can really tell that so much thought goes into each dish in terms of how the chef pairs all the flavours and best ingredients. The tomatoes in the salad starter for example, was picked that same morning. Every dish had so many components too -- for my picture captions, I put what I could remember. The flavours in each dish was so elevated, we were all literally spooning out every last drop everytime LOL. I loved the fact that the tasting menu came with 2 of each course because the variety was amazing... each of the two were so completely different from the other. This experience was incredible and so fun to try such good food! I would come here all the time if I could afford to but for now, can't wait until the next special occasion to come again!

The service was fantastic from the moment we walked in the door until we left. Our waitress, Diana, was fabulous the whole time we were there. The food was a different story unfortunately. The meat itself was really nicely cooked, tender and tasty. Where it lacked was in the sauce - I was hoping for that through and through saucy dripping tender meat, but was left with just a pile of pulled pork and some BBQ sauce dumped on top. Not a lot of depth in flavor. I got REALLY excited when I saw Mac n Cheese as an option for a side, but was incredibly disappointed in it. It was watery and SO bland. Kraft Dinner was gourmet in comparison. It might have been the worst mac I've ever tasted, not even black pepper or ketchup could save it for me. My boyfriend got a similar meal but with coleslaw and cornbread on the side as well. Coleslaw he said was so-so, and I tasted the cornbread which was good but 99% sure it's store bought. Overall, probably wouldn't return unless it's to buy just meat.
