There’s no air conditioning. That was unpleasant. But not as unpleasant as the food. It’s the worst food I’ve had in FSJ, and that’s saying something. Every dish we ordered was barely edible. The calamari was rancid and fishy, the crispy pork hadn’t been rendered and was raw in the middle. The bulgogi with kimchi fried rice was styled as bibimbap but the bowl was too small to mix it. The flavours in that dish were not right for Korean food. I couldn’t eat it except the homemade pickled cucumbers in there which were great. My husband had a burger which he only ate half of despite being starving and not picky at all. Don’t eat here.
Came yesterday and it was the best steak and potatoes I’ve ever had weird no mushrooms though Today I paid 25 dollars for a lasagna and it was literally disgusting. I thought I loved it here but now I do not lol.
Great restaurant, food fantastic, friendly staff, cold beer. Most comfortable chairs in town!
The staff was friendly, but even with no other customers in the restaurant it still seemed like rather slow service. Overall it was a nice and clean restaurant with a neat atmosphere. A bit on the pricier side with most meals between $25-$35, seemed a bit high for the quality. Looking forward to checking out Kereoke on Friday or Saturday nights. I would recommend anyone to check it out!
Had the bruschetta to start. Was absolutely delicious! the bread they toasted and put it on was perfect. huge portion for $14 bucks. excellent deal. Then for the mains we did a burger each. the mushroom burger and the steakhouse burger. Both were amazing. it was so obvious that they were Made fresh in house. Best burgers in town IMO. and the service was excellent. our server was very soft spoken and kind. and he didnt hesitate to make sure everything was just the way we wanted it. Best burgers in FSJ 100%
Awesome food recommend the bulgogi friendly servers Discount if you are staying at hotel Magical unicorn hidden under pool table 🦄
Tried to order margarita, wasn't available. Also no poke ☹ The breakfast menu and steaks also weren't available. Tried kare-kare, it was just ok. The peanut sauce has odd after flavor though. The bulgogi was tasty, however the kimchi fried rice could use more flavoring. Tapa was yummo. Same flavor as the bulgogi. Bigger portion would be nicer. For $18.50, wasn't filling at all. Their burgers were awesome. We had crispy chicken and mushroom burger. Onion rings were great, not soggy at all 😍 Fish and chips was good too! Place was big, service was friendly, we will go back for sure, but what's going on with flies inside the restaurant 🙈🙊🙉
Decided to give this place a try as it was attached the hotel I was staying at. On a road trip from Fairbanks Ak to Atlanta Ga and hadn’t had real food in 3 days. The 2 waitresses were very friendly and service was great. I had the surf and turf burger with calamari. Waitress convinced me to try my fries with gravy which I didn’t know was a thing and it was incredible. Also got some beef nachos and Cajun chicken Alfredo to go and those were also amazing. Solid place. If I ever come back to Canada this is one place I will absolutely come back to.
always a great treat when I want some authentic Philippines cuisine
This place had some amazing crispy pork bites and there beef bowl was crispy and delicious . Definitely a place to check out!
The steakhouse burger is the best burger in town, hands down.
Love this little joint, the food is amazing and good service so a win all around I highly recommend this resturaunt.
Friendly staff, great food, and comfortable chairs. A very pleasant experience, Kim was super helpful and recommended the spring rolls, they were fantastic.
The loud karaoke is annoying. Cant hear ourselves talk.
The kitchen put out a great meal. Will be back.
First time eating here, the food was good but the menu seemed to be lacking a little bit unless you are into asian/phillipino style food. Service on the other hand was great
Ordered the Cuban sandwich absolutely amazing pulled pork banana peppers cheese & flat bread is an amazing combo Wait staff was super friendly Food
Was a very awesome place to have late lunch.
This is an amazing place to come to i highly recommend it. If youve never been here you should definitely come

Great food! The service was incredible! If you are looking for a good place to eat I would highly recommend this place! I tried the Korean BBQ and was not disappointed!
Good food and good service
Wow best kept secret in Fort St. John for the last year. Can t believe I haven t been eating here. Fantastic menu fantastic food everything we tried was fantastic great atmosphere super comfortable seating highly recommend will be back regularly.
Absolutely delicious!! Food and drinks were wonderful. Server was so friendly. Will definitely be eating here again!
Ordered the roasted pork belly, with honey glazed vegetables... the vegetables tasted exactly like a veggie platter and were as raw, and the roasted pork bellies outside was so hard it almost broke my tooth. The portion was tiny. Which i am thankful for because of how the food was.
Sigsig is so good, even though I am on a diet I can t help having it at least once a week!
Great pork dishes
First and last time well eat here, super disappointing dining experience tonight. They were out of the beverages and dry ribs we tried to order, the chicken wings and burger we received were raw in the middle, and theres grilled cheese sandwich on the menu but the kitchen staff has apparently never made one in their life and were clueless as to what it was supposed to be - brought us a cheeseburger the first time, then melted cheese on a folded slice of bread like a taco?? Dont put it on your menu if you have no idea what it is! Three dishes out of six were a flop. Kitchen needs a serious lesson in basic cooking so you dont end up poisoning someone.
Came in on a very busy Friday night with friends, waited for food significantly longer than usual, almost an hour to get our food served up, but what impressed me is their attitude and how they treated their customers, I can see that they were doing best they can, for compensation, we were offered 20% for our bill without requesting for it, not gonna lie they might need a more organized way to catch up with the order but with their attitude I hope they will be doing better in the future.
Garage table board on takeout - skip the dishes was definitely worth it. Hot and fresh. I will go again
Great new restaurant in town, worth going and giving them a try.
Not sure I understood the dish. I ordered the tuna steak and when it came out it was over cooked. The vegetables were raw and cold and the rice was undercooked. The flavour was OK. No lunch menu and no soup offerings. The Waitress was friendly and pleasant.
Can someone please catch the toddler that keeps running around and dumping full containers of salt into all the food. And stealing the cheese off the Nachos. In other words everythings way too salty, like grossly salty, the Nachos with extra cheese had basically no cheese. And they give you basically no salsa for the Nachos. Dissapointed. Was super hyped to go to a new place.
Great lunch place! Had the crispiest (but moist) chicken sandwich I ve ever had and fries. Friendly and quick service and comfy chairs. I ll be eating here again and trying out other menu items
Highly recommend, their service was top notch and the food was fantastic. My husband is still talking about his burger.
These guys seriously need to do something about all the flies in the restaurant it was horrible.
Poor service, overpriced
Decent enough food, but since they just got their liquor license there was only bottled beer. I recommend going here when they have everything stocked!
My family absolutely loves the menu, the cozy ambience and the friendly staff of Modern Garage. Chef Erwin is amazing and so accomodating. Celebrated my husbands and my daughters birthday here and we were impressed. Thank you for an awesome night! Would recommend 200%!
Adrianna was a flippin awesome server can t wait to go back again!
This was genuinely one of the worst dining experiences Ive had in the Northeast. To make a long story short, I do NOT spend my time writing reviews on Google, and my experience at Modern Garage has forced me to do it based on trying to adhere to a good conscience: both for the survival of this business and for future customers. To help the reader out, Im going to list off some of the observations I made during my visit: 1. To start off, the bill was outrageous for what we received: Total cost: 89.90 + tip = over 100 dollars for the following: - small plate of calamari - 2 small drinks that were loaded with ice (Caesar, strawberries mojito) - cauliflower steak - slice of a pork roast 2. The quality of the dish was quite low. For a new restaurant Id expect the ownership to put a lot of work into making sure that their product is high quality and tastes good. Both entrees were incredibly bland and honestly could have been passed off as a microwave dinner. 3. The pictures on the menu are stock photos. They are not pictures of the food or drink served at this establishment. We tried to order a couple of drinks based off some of the pictures and we were told that they did not serve those drinks, and that they were stock photos. Question: Why would a new restaurant put fake photos of drinks on the menu that they dont serve? 4. The meal wasnt fully cooked. We tried to eat through the whole cauliflower dish and it was both burnt and undercooked. The whole plate was vegetables and wasnt cooked throughout which led to a significant raw-vegetable crunch as we tried to eat our food. 5. The portions are small. We spent over 100 dollars on dinner and left hungry. Despite our complaints above, we attempted to eat everything and we still left hungry. If you are going to serve smaller portions you need to ensure that the quality justifies it. I can go on with other criticisms and frustrations but Id rather focus on the issues that ruined our experience more than most. For the ownership and kitchen staff, please do better. If you want to ensure that your business remains viable, you need to do better. From the food quality, to the price, to the portion sizes, to the false advertising, you need to do better. Word is going to spread around quickly that this place is literally not worth going to and I can say that as someone who is going to share this message across my social sphere. The only redeeming quality of our experience was our kind hearted and hard-working server. To be completely honest, we immediately went to Audielicious to cleanse our palette after we left. Please do better.
Food was tasty but the portion size was smaller than expected. The staff are friendly.
The food was really good, although the servings were smaller than anticipated. Our server was nice
I ordered the chicken Ceasar salad. I have never had lettuce that was warm, wilted and grilled and a salad! Salads are supposed to be cold, fresh and crunchy! I left hungry and $25 poorer.
