Irving Enfield Big Stop

I recently visited this restaurant and ordered a hamburger steak with a bread roll on the side. The gravy was too strong and salty, and the hamburger steak was very dry. The beef flavor was decent, but it seemed like they used lean ground beef which made it difficult to swallow. The bread roll, which used to be their signature item, was stale and past its prime. It seemed like they didn't take care of their bakery anymore. The service was great as always, but I would probably try other breakfast places that focus more on serving quality food to their customers.

Family went there for both Christmas and New Year's dinners. Turkey was well cooked on Christmas. On New Years I asked if I could get the chicken stir fry with the vegetables well cooked as the trend today is half cooked vegetables. The waitress said I could and it was excellent.

Took family(6 people) for brunch. Not very busy lots of empty tables. Waited 10+ minutes to get seated. Waited another 10 or so minutes to get waited on. Waited 20+ minutes to get served. (except for drinks). Pancake order was so tough and rubbery that it could not be eaten. Veggie Omelet was extremely bad. More like a taco. Big breakfast (x2) OK. Remaining 2 were acceptable. I visit Big Stop 2-4 times a year and this has been by far the visit that makes me want to go elsewhere. Labour problems? New staff? Needs some quality control.

We have been frequenting IRVING BIG STOPS for years, particularly enjoying their breakfasts. We would often pass by other restaurants in Moncton to save money for our meals in Enfield because convenience, cleanliness, quality, and price are important to us. However, during our visit last July, we were disappointed to find that the portion sizes had shrunk while the prices remained the same. The quality of the food was just average, and we were taken aback by the cheap napkins they now use. Despite the cleanliness, hot food, and pleasant atmosphere, the food at IRVING BIG STOPS is not as good as it used to be. We will continue to stop by, but the charm of the place has faded.

I highly recommend the Mac n cheese with bacon at this restaurant. The wifi is excellent and the iced tea is amazing as well.
