Irving Oil Gander Restaurant

Always loved their turkey soup and fresh cut bread. Friendly staff and home cooked meals are always a hit with family.

My wonderful daughter and her family took me to Irving Restaurant for lunch today, and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal. I had a delicious hot soup with a fluffy dumpling, and we also tried the burger with grey fries, chicken fingers with fries, and the steak sandwich with fries. Our server was very friendly, and our food was served hot, so we have nothing but compliments. I would definitely eat here again.

Ever since the company Couchetard pushed out the elderly woman who owned the goose restaurant, food quality has decreased. Couchetard thought it would be smart to increase waiting times so customers can enjoy the full experienced of dining at a truck stop. They also increased...packaged/frozen foods and decreased what is actually homemade. The food quality has decreased dramatically since 2017 and the staff are not nearly so friendly or competent as the old staff were. I think there must be a high turnover rate here since Couchetard forced out the small business owner.

I love the coming here, it’s always really good food with amazing service but today we placed our order on the phone bc of Covid. They told us 15 mins, it ended up being about 30 or more. I wouldn’t care if the cook didn’t...have to come out and ask us how we like our eggs since buddy on the phone forgot, plus we asked for hollandaise sauce on one and got cheese on both with it on the side, our eggs were over cooked, and the food tasted burnt. The guy there also seemed spaced out/out of it. Overall, I’m hoping this was just a one time thing.

As a staple in Gander for many years this restaurant has had its ups and downs. It recently went under new management and the change is good. My wife and I figured we'd give it a try and we're glad we did. We're just finished...our 3rd visit in 3 weeks. The Clubhouse is excellent as is the double bacon cheese burger. Last visit my wife had the turkey dinner and she said it was excellent. Food is always hot and the staff are friendly. I'm trying the pan fried fish next trip.
