So I went there Friday for lunch usually popseys is really good.. never complained.... but this time it was awful 😕 😢 my friend ordered his dinner was great no complaints My pop was flat i had to wait 15 minutes for the waitress to come back ... the ketchup had gone bad ... I waited again ... finally I went up to the counter the older blond lady working was rude about it because I had squeezed it on to my fries what before trying the ketchup.. then when I went back she took my plate ... switches the ketchup on another table and was rude and said don't put it all over my fries 😒 like I did... the I waited for the original waitress to come back to check to see how our meal was.... nope.. I wanted a refill on my pop .. the glass sat at the edge of the table for another 20 min before I had to get up and find her to ask for another refill... after all that I paid my 40 $ bill and nothing was taken off.. I paid my full bill.. POPSEYS DO BETTER

We came here for a family reunion brunch on Mother's Day and were not disappointed! This is a beautiful restaurant, log-cabin style, with delicious food at a good price. Our server was warm and friendly, always making sure our coffee mugs and water glasses were full, and I would definitely come again. Gorgeous wood carvings in the lobby as well. Try any of the Eggs Benedict!

April 21, 2024

The food was very greasy my toast was soaked in butter and you could even put any jam or anything on it. The hamand potatoes were soaked in grease my partner had an omelette and the grease was just dripping off of it. I used a napkin to get the grease off of my ham and my potatoes. When the waitress come I told her that you cant even eat the toast and how much grease there was and she said yes they overdid the butter and grease and gave me a $1.50 off my meal. The waitress was a little unfriendly to us and to other people and was in such a hurry.

Went in at 12:30 on Wednesday for a quick lunch. We Stood in line with eight other people for five minutes. Not one member of staff greeted anybody or even said that a table would be a few mins (there were empty tables). We left after eight minutes followed by two other people. Great customer service Popseys wont be back.

Whenever I have a craving for eggs benny then this is the place. Average price is about $15 for a full order. My favourite is Jills Benny (pepper jack cheese, mushrooms and avocado). I love avocado and Popseys put a very generous amount on this particular benny. I detected a hint of lemon in the hollandaise (again, just the way I like it). You can also purchase a variety of soups, perogies and cabbage rolls to take home. I havent tried any as yet but its on my to do list.

Staff are very kind but the food was burnt and I received blond hairs in my hollandaise sauce

Wonderful home cooked breakfast. Didnt taste like it came from a supplier.

The food was good but very disappointed that they are not following the PHO orders by checking vaccination cards and all staff wearing masks while serving food. Although the sign at the door says masks are required we observed a few groups enter and walk around not wearing them. We will NOT be back even after restrictions are lifted. (BTW can t post a zero star review which is what they deserve)

December 21, 2022

We were regulars at Popseys. Two of us went in for breakfast. Opted to have 2 pancakes each instead of the hash browns and toast. We were charged $21.00 for the pancakes on top of the breakfasts!!! They were NOT worth $21.00! Never again will we eat there! That s robbery! I had farmer sausage with my eggs, the sausages were so old and hard I could not cut or eat them.

Love this place! Super friendly staff, great food, and relively cheap pricing. In the past, the food has been a little cold, and have had some burnt toast, but honestly, the foods still great tasting! Lovely log cabin setting, always a relaxing environment, and although the service can be a little slow during the rush, its honestly not bad at all. Sure, if you dont like your food a little cold (on the off chance it IS cold, mind you), this might not be the place for you. And, should you be in a rush and cant afford to wait for service, this place also offers pre-made soups and sandwiches, so you can stop in, get your food, and leave in under 10 minutes. Totally would recommend this amazing place to anyone!

A small patty, with a few half cooked onions, and the beef barley soup lacked flavor & depth. The fish had a strong fishy smell that is not usual for fish & chips.
