My wife Trisha and I like coming here for a good meal when we’re in Kenora. It’s not the most romantic place but it’s cozy and a relaxed atmosphere. Trisha is a big fan of the soup here and although I don’t usually order soup every time she does so do I… lol The soup here is always home made and healthy. Tonight I ordered the special, which was steak sandwich and shrimp with veg, a side and your choice of soup or salad. I got the soup and like usual it was quite good. The parking for this restaurant is along the side and hard to get into. I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant for large groups just because of that reason. The French fries here are made fresh, which is something I value. Like I said before this is a great restaurant to pop in for a healthy and tasty meal. It’s always clean and the service is great. Cheers guys and keep up the great work

Breakfast attended. It’s quite easy to see that food and service is good (and it was) based on the number of people. Reasonably priced. Great food

The food was average, tasty, but a bit expensive for what it was. The service was great, our server was attentive and very helpful. The Atmosphere is exactly what you'd want in a small town eatery, quiet, clean, and friendly. The parking situation is pretty akward for those with larger vehicles. Would recommend as a meal stop.

Food is good. No doubt about that. The waitress, who Im assuming works Monday to Friday morning shifts, while nice to the locals/regulars treats unknowns with disrespect. I was treated like a delinquent the minute I asked for apple juice and a coffee. Sorry honey, but just because I have some piercings and am dressed in sweats doesnt make me a vagrant. I can only imagine how she treats those who arent Caucasian.

We liked this spot so much that we returned for breakfast! The server was wonderful, really friendly and made us feel so welcome and had a chat with us. She made sure we had refills regularly and was attentive. We hope management give her the recognition! The dinner was tasty and definitely the best quality food we managed to find on our trip from Southern Ontario through to Alberta. We came back for breakfast and were not disappointed. The restaurant was quirky and fairly cosy. If we are ever in Kenora again, we d gladly go back.

Server was a little shy when we arrived, but became friendly near the end of our breakfast. Food was ok, like other reviews, the hash browns were not great, could have been prepared better and cooked better. The rest of breakfast was fine. Reasonable prices. Will likely go back. Parking: Restaurant in a hotel, so lots of hotel parking is available.

Just had lunch there and it was a great experience! Our first time there and won t be our last. $33 for lunch for two adults is very reasonable nowadays and fair portions. Not overloaded which is nice because I always feel bad wasting anything I don t eat. Kid-friendliness: The server was very sweet with our son. She made sure to bring an extra plate for me to share my food without being prompted.

The experience here yes I made a very uncomfortable when the blonde waitress verbally attacked us for not having our q card for our senior members on our phone. Luckily I had a smartphone and was able to download. We understand this is a government regulation but some compassion and the embarrassment was not necessary considering these people come here on a daily basis and provide business. Shame on you for treating your customers this way especially during these hard times not everybody owns a smartphone. I certainly hope the management will talk to their staff about some professional etiquette and some friendliness.

Amazing resturant! We went there multiple times over our week stay in Kenora and the space itself is really cute with historic photos and stained glass inside the resturant.

The staff and servers are great (especially Diane!) and really make you feel at home.

The staff advised the restaurant was opening up on Tuesday July 21 2020 to half seating. (Addendum: Came for breakfast Tuesday morning and had an excellent meal. I had pancakes and crispy bacon while my buddy had eggs over easy, bacon and toast. With milk and coffee we just cracked the $30 ceiling. Pretty good for two big guys.)

Lake if the woods brew pub. I believe that is what its called. We were in kenora for 2 days and drove past it a dozen times... When it was open ot was always hopin... Check out the menu online before hand... Menu items looked great...we decoded to check it out. It was amazing...food tasted just like the pictures looked...sooo good. People watching was great all sorts of characters...you could tell they were not locals...locals just look different in kenora Ribs were standard...a tad over cooked but that Is typical for restaurant when you order a combo meat platter. Drinks were great 20 different beers...caesar special was good...larger tumbler with bean lime pickles olive. They really go all out here. Server was nice/pleasant

Yesterdays restaurant, July 11/19 2:30 The food was good but some of the staff were more concerned with their private conversation than serving thier customer. The waitress tending to me saw me several times while walking by, starring at her expectantly with an empty plate. The restaurant was practically empty and she was more concerned with the conversation with her coworker than doing her job. This is not the first time this employee has done this.

Amazing ! Best restaurant i have been to throughout a lot of restaurants we have tried over the last few weeks. The waitress (small blonde girl) she was on point and very prompt. Food was absolutely amazing. Served hot, big portions and good flavour. The price is the best part, 2 can dine for $40 which is by far the cheapest meal we have had in Kenora. I give this place a 10 out of 10! The vibe is very good in there, not too loud and just an amazing crew who you can tell love being at their job! We will be back!
