Thinking of what to have for breakfast, hubby initially said the diner across the hotel where we stay but I read only a 3.5 out of 5 review so I start looking and found The Cabin just a bit down the road. We were so glad we came! I had the English Breakfast and it did not disappoint. Visiting from Toronto, we have been so many diners back home but this one wow me. I guess it's the small town charm too and that why we were just back to get a couple chocolate milkshakes! read more

The Cabin Restaurant - The English Breakfast. - Canadian (New) Near Me - Fredericton, New Brunswick

Neat little cabin off the road with a tight dining room and limited parking (10 vehicles) $20 can stuff you with some delicious homemade goodies! Service is great! Atmosphere: a bit cramped, but lots of vintage souvenirs handing on the walls to look at while waiting for your meal. Mostly the food is homey and smaller portioned. Ham is excellent, toast is awesome, bacon could be a little softer and bigger. Eggs could be done better, and home fries could use less fry! Food can be hit and miss at times: (one time steak was wayyy too well done when asked for medium rare. Another time pancakes a bit burnt, dry and thin. The last time we were there, there was a hair in the dessert, but the second one tasted great!) Conclusion: Been here at least 5 times, starting to get a little bit claustrophobic, and you'll have to come here more than once to know what is usually better and what is more average. Also you probably don't want to drive a huge truck or SUV in the back as parking is very limited. If you have little kids or a huge party of people, would strongly look at going to another place as it is very tight spacing in between tables. But if you want a good bang for your buck and fill your tummy quickly then this cabin is a wonderful choice! Cheers! read more

The greatest little place to eat in Fredericton. Have been going there for many many years and it never fails to deliver on service, friendliness, and darn good food. I have gone from a teenager to a senior and the quality of preparation and food is above and beyond. Getting the urge to go just writing this. Thank you Cabin folk!! read more

Good breakfast but done old way. Lots of grease m. Omelet from outer space..business here a long-time But times change

I am a senior and have been to this restaurant many times with groups over the years without incident, but today I had one of the worst experiences in a restaurant ever. I was meeting a friend and arrived a few minutes early and was directed to take a seat at one several free tables. I had barely started unbuttoning my coat before the young waitress dashed over and shoved a menu at me telling me I had to order right away "because of Covid." (Completely untrue). I told her I would get settled, look at the menu, and order when my friend arrived in a couple of minutes. She started to get heated and said I wasn't allowed to wait and look at the menu at my table "because of Covid" (again, completely untrue). I repeated it would be only a couple of minutes before I ordered. She took off and I heard her complaining loudly to someone about "that lady" (it is a small place). The manager (possibly owner) barreled over and told me to go wait outside (it was -7) because "if the inspectors come in and see someone without food in front of them, I will be fined $10,000" (also completely not true.) At this point I left and ran into my friend who was just arriving. The waitress opened the door and yelled at us "Have a nice day somewhere else." The whole incident took less than five minutes from arrival to departure. I called Government Covid information line when I got home and they informed me none of the excuses used by the Cabin staff were in any way accurate. It's pretty clear to me now that I was targeted because I was perceived as a single diner and they didn't want me taking up a table. It is shocking that in a time where restaurants all over the world are suffering that there are some places that still don't value their patrons. read more

I love the Cabin! My family has been going here since my dad was in high school in the '60s! It's a great little diner with retro decor (including jukeboxes at the booths along the walls that actually play in the diner) that serves solid, homestyle food. If you're looking for comfort food, this is a great place to find it. I almost always get breakfast, often the Big Fella (though sometimes I need to split it since it's HUGE), but the hot turkey is also a favourite. My mom often gets their bread pudding and my dad swears by the hot hamburger. As far as seating, there are maybe 6-7 booths that seat four along two walls, with tables seating ~4 people in the middle row (maybe 3-4 tables) and stools at the counter. If you enjoy watching cooks, sit near or at the counter and you can see right into the kitchen! I recommend not going right at lunchtime since when it's busy parking can be a bit tough. There's parking for a few cars in front of the building, more behind the building and you can park along the road too. It can be a little tough to turn around out back if all of the spots are filled though. If you love diners, comfort food, breakfast or jukeboxes, you NEED to stop in! read more

My family has been going to the cabin for over 20 years, the price is worth it, the food is really good, the service is amazing! I recommend for breakfast getting the ham & eggs, the ham is amazing! definitely recommend 10/10 read more

Excellent service & the food was equally excellent! I highly recommend trying their food.

Great bang for your buck. Service is O.K., a bit slow. The place is small and homey. Average, homestyle food in good sized portions and a great place for families. Also a cool feature are the jukeboxes next to each table so you can play music for the entire restaurant with $0.25 per song. Make sure to bring lots of quarters! Parking may be tough to find as there are not many spots, and turning around out of the lot is fairly tough, so be prepared. read more

The is a retro diner - think 1960's here! Juke boxes, red vinyl and the Ink Spots. If you are here, they think you are local! This is solid diner food, nothing pretentious. We hit this for breakfast. I find the prices having been creeping up lately. $10-$12/person for bacon & eggs and drink ( bit high given the fact that this place hasn't carried a mortgage in 25 years!) This is not for the faint of heart ... a bit like walking into a diner in Little Rock AR before segregation LOL! But an experience nevertheless. read more

Loved the diner and local atmosphere. Picture a clean but well-worn diner. You could see right into the kitchen so I watched my meal being prepared. Service was quick and informal. The short time we waited I enjoyed reading the walls. They are packed with bumper stickers, signs, and 45s. Food was served hot. My husband got his steak special before my smoked salmon eggs Benedict came. His steak was 12 oz., cooked to perfection. It came with fries and peas. My salmon special was the English muffin, salmon, egg, and hollandaise sauce. Nothing else which was perfect as I could also order their bread pudding. The hollandaise sauce was good (and I am picky) but the smoked salmon put my meal into the amazing category. There was a large slice on each bun. After I had a half order of their "world famous bread pudding" which came in a filled dessert bowl (I am so glad I went with a half order). The Bread pudding was made with cinnamon rolls and served warm with real whipped cream. If you are more interested in good food served fast, than fancy surroundings The Cabin is the place to go in Fredericton. read more

Was told it a greasy spoon kind of place and what I found was it was a retro-style diner with some kitschy signs inside. I had the open-faced turkey sandwich or plate and a little bread pudding, the latter of which is more a cinnamon roll. However they do not have ice for their beverages -- it must be a Canadian thing because it wasn't the first place. Had I asked I might have been told to grab some snow from outside. read more

See all

My 3 year old and I have eaten at the Cabin every Saturday morning for the last year or so. They offer fantastic food and large portions for a decent price. We split the Big Fella, which fills us both up for $9! Hands down the best pancakes I've ever had (seriously). Jen is amazing and friendly and it's always a delight to go. I highly recommend making the short trip out of the downtown core; it's well worth the 5 minute drive. read more

Portion size for the price was great. Wish the fries were homemade instead of out of a bag. Same with the bread. Both of us had the club. It was delicious. Will definitely visit again. read more

This place is the best breakfast in Fredericton, hands down. We have been coming here every Sunday since discovering it and have yet to find a better place anywhere we have travelled.

Exceeded expectations in food quality and service. Super inexpensive ($9.99 for 2 of the best pancakes you'll ever have, 2 sausages, 2 eggs, hash browns, huge thick piece of ham, bacon & toast). Oh did I mention they're the best pancakes I have ever eaten. I've seriously never had better. read more

Amazing food. Generous portions and a fantastic friendly atmosphere! This is easily my favorite breakfast spot in Fredericton. My suggestion from the breakfast menu is deffenitly the breakfast poutine. It is ammazing! read more

The Cabin has to be one of the best places to eat "homecooking" in New Brunswick. Breakfast is terrific with great ham and the eggs benedict are very filling. The English breakfast is delicious and popular. The lobster bacon club is outstanding and the regular fare of soups and hot sandwiches are always delicious. A great supper is the meatloaf dinner or the pork chop dinner. Yes- I go there often since the prices are so reasonable and the service so friendly. Don't worry if you need to wait in line for a table. The food service is very fast and often folks will offer to have you join them anyway. You can park across the road from the Cabin since sometimes the lot in the back is full. Enjoy !! read more

We ate at this ' retro ' cabin today and honestly found our food tasteless and the space crowded ' elbow to elbow ' . My meal was a ' 3 patty burger with bacon & cheese ' and came with ' crinkle ' fries as there are no other choices - no home fries or spicey ! No kidding , the patties were only 1/4 in.thick and were ' cooked to death ' - dry and tasteless . Expected mayo and tomato and lettuce , but No ! My wife had a lobster roll with lots of red peppers ( ? ) and no mayo or celery ? Where did this recipe come from , especially here in the ' Bay of Fundy ' region - home of the lobster ?? Don't even consider asking for vinegar as it is unrecognizable Lots of quaint ' old décor ' that I remember from the early 60's when I was just 20 and the jukebox brought back memories ! Can't believe how crowded it was and the number of ' locals' , who are obviously ' repeat ' diners . Maybe the ' breakfast ' menu is a bit more tasty ? Couldn't believe the bill which included one soft drink and a water at $32.26 ? Imagine how enjoyable a couple of ' entrees ' and a beer would have been at Boston Pizza for the same price ?! Was there music ? David & Nancie - ' One Time Customers ' read more
