Description
The restaurant, located next to a gas station along the highway, offers a mixed experience. While the full-service pump attendants are excellent, the food is overpriced and takes a long time to arrive. Some customers have encountered burnt or greasy items on the menu, with service sometimes lacking. However, the bar provides decent options and a welcoming atmosphere, plus a weekly special on steak sandwiches. Overall, the establishment offers basic but satisfactory food for travelers looking for a convenient stop.
Feedback
The bar offers good food and drinks, with a 7 oz steak sandwich available on Wednesdays for $13. The atmosphere is a bit relaxed but welcoming to everyone, and they even provide free popcorn.
The beer is ice cold and the tandoori sandwich has the perfect amount of spice.
We were going to Wawa from Thunder Bay.... This is an easy stop.. Behind a Petro Canada gas station. Full bar. Basic menu. Not a gourmet joint.. But good basic food. I would return.
Worst breakfast - yet!! How can a cook send out a stack fo simple pancakes with last nights steak oil still on the grill? And the waitress couln't give a darn. The ham - so thin i8t was opaque was burned on one side. So not a great strat to our day - it matches our stay at the hotel to which it is attached. Not the best experience ... next time I will keep on driving as there are two or more newer and cleaner looking motels within one hour east on 17.
