Havent been in a few years since moving and went in for my fav dish to find out it's new owners and even tho the menu still says the same thing they don't make it that way any longer. Friendly service just a super bummer that food on thr menus isn't what it says

Upon entry, the restaurant and signs needs a refresh. Friendly server with lovely smile and quick promptings. Food experience was mixed with breakfast plate tasting good and 1 piece fish and chips quite disappointing - fish was definitely from a frozen package instead of fresh batter, mixed vegetables side was undercooked and oily from the cut up cabbage and green peppers absorbing it, and ok tasting fries. Not worth $15. The one thing that left a distaste in our mouths is seeing the menu pricing for the senior section to be the same as the regular menu prices. I would hope a separate senior section to the menu mean a discount, but that is not the case. Buyer beware! Hopefully the restaurant makes somes changes to revive a dying place that I see in past reviews used to be an awesome place. :(

We were craving Liver and onions and It was a late lunch, the chef made specially and to perfection! Enough for 2 meals. The tea was in a pot with a little jug of milk, hot water added without even asking. It took a little while but it was honestly the best liver and onions I've ever had. Thank you also to the sweet girls who served us. We will return. 100 percent.

Unfortunately this was a terrible experience. I used to love coming here under old management but under new owners it's no longer palatable. My mother had lasagna - there was barely any cheese and no tomato sauce. She literally had to put ketchup on it to make it easier to eat. Even then she only ate less than 1/4 of what was there. My daughter had pancakes that were dry and lumpy and undercooked. My child, who is autistic, refused to eat it so I had to take her out to our car and give her snacks until we made it back to our home. I had asked what was in their chicken wrap I was told chicken, lettuce and mayo - when it came there was so much oil and vinaigrette that when I picked it up it ran out of my wrap and all over the table and ruined my top. There were only three small pieces of chicken and I left 3/4 of it uneaten because there was no more chicken and so much vinegar taste I started to choke. At the end of the meal the new owner told my mother "you're just not used to my cooking" when she complained about the quality of the food. The entire meal was almost $70 and we barely ate anything nor was anything comped nor did the owner apologize for our poor dining experience. We used to love coming here and it was always busy, especially on a holiday weekend, but now we know why the restaurant was empty except for us. What was once a hidden gem is gone.

One of the best breakfast meals out we’ve had-and we’ve had a lot over the years! We each ordered our eggs cooked differently, and both orders were perfect. Toast made from locally sourced exceptional whole wheat bread. Excellent home fries. Excellent pea-meal bacon. The server was kind, genuine and friendly. We live in a larger city, and will definitely return to Neabors next time we visit Lindsay. Looking forward to eating there again 🙂

It is an out of the way place that looked dark at first but the hostess Kitty and the food made the experience well worth it and brightened up the whole place. The portion sizes are hefty so come hungry and the seasonings used for the fries by the chef are delicious and the meat is cooked well. It is a secret recipe which was disappointing but just means gotta keep coming back. I can just keep rambling but definitely try for yourself!

This used to be a regular spot for my grandparents, my mum, and I when I was a small fry about 25 years ago. High quality food, made with love, for rock bottom prices. Stopped by for the first time since around 2000 in 2016, and everything was just the same, a refreshing delight in a world where things are always getting worse. Stopped by again a few weeks ago with my other half, and talk about a tale of two cities! New owner have taken over as of about a year ago, and although they made no changes to the decor, which most people would probably say they should, but I hope they don't as it's like walking into 1985 in the best way possible. Unfortunately, it does appear that they've made changes to their food. Now, I thought that my turkey club sandwich with fries and onion rings on the side was actually quite good. However, my other half who had the fish and chips was very disappointed. The fish appeared to be frozen box fish from a grocery store, was very flat, and had more breading than fish. Furthermore, the vinegar they gave her to put on her french fries appeared to be sour, and made the meal, on the whole, taste rather unpleasant. Based solely on my dining experience I would recommend them, but I would be cautious. Based on her experience, she wouldn't recommend them at all. So if you're in the area and you're looking for a real blast from the past, I suggest you give this place a chance, but you temper your expectations. Also, a soft drink is $5. I know that that's supposed to be a money maker for most places, but that price is just too high.

This is a 9$ BLT . 1 leaf of lettuce, paper thin tomato’s and two strips of bacon . Stay at home people . This was absolutely ridiculous. Very nice waitress I must say though . Also 4.50 for a pop .

The vinegar I used was extremely watered down. Another cost cutting attempt

December 21, 2024

My wife and I were there this past Thursday. I ordered farmers breakfast..toast was burnt, bacon was like charcoal , ham I couldn t cut with knife and eggs over easy were hard..I gave the server a$10 tip because it was not her fault. Worst $50 I have spent and will never be back

December 20, 2024

I came for lunch. I have not been to this restaurant in a long time and I am assuming it is under different management than the last time I was here. The service was friendly enough but slow. And I ordered an $18 beef dip with fries. And what came was on a soggy hamburger bun with a small pile of very tasteless roast beef. The plate consisted mostly of fries. The sandwich itself was nowhere near what I usually have when I order a beef dip in any other restaurant. It is kind of my go to sandwich and it s usually on a nice Italian bun or some type of nice bun. This was a soggy hamburger bun. And was extremely thinly sliced tasteless roast beef. I have had beef dips in the past in this restaurant and many others, but again I m sure it was different ownership. This one was terrible.. And I am not a fussy person by any means. But I won t be back.

Neabors used to be a staple in this town and sadly has gone way downhill. With 4 other tables it took over 30min for us to get our breakfast. We asked for over easy eggs and they were hard. The sausage was cold and mush, ham and bacon were cold. My husband had a bug in his chocolate milk. Sadly will not be going back.

One of the greats places to go when I was a kid. Gone very down hill since new owner. He likes to sit in the corner taking on the phone and watching loud videos. The waitress was very friendly but smelled very strong of BO and perfume. $50 for Mushroom Swiss burger/ fries and Peameal burger/ fries with gravy and a coffee and tea. Food was similar tasting to a DQ burger. I asked for no relish but still got it on the burger. The people next to us asked for a simple cheese burger and fries and the waitress had a hard time understanding. I give service and Atmosphere 3 stars because it still looks like the nice same restaurant when I was a kid and the waitress was very attentive. It s sad to see the restaurant like this but can t bring myself to go back.

September 22, 2024

I worked there for a day and was absolutely disgusted by the working conditions as well as the owner. He is rude and ignorant and has no idea how to actually run a restaurant. The owner should not be in the kitchen or handling food at all, he will bully you into jobs you didnt apply for and gets aggressive when you do do the job you applied for. He is a health risk and I warn everyone NOT to eat there. The staff can be very nice, the owner on the other hand? Not at all. He was going to give me the official job but when I told him I couldnt accept it because I couldnt deal with the problems in that kitchen and I was immediately told Im not cut out for food service. (I was in the business from ages 14-24), have my smart serve, and ran 2-3 stations on my own. I can honestly say, he doesnt label product and how they determine what it is is by SMELLING it. Visually you couldnt distinguish the tuna from the chicken. Not to mention he was carrying a cutting board and a very sharp knife right behind me and said NOTHING, even when I turned and nearly got STABBED and he had nothing to say, just kept walking. He and the restaurant are hazards to the community. Standards plummeted the moment he took over the business. Vegetarian options: Nope Dietary restrictions: You never know whats touching what since theres very few labels and stuff like meat they store at the top shelf Kid-friendliness: Basic at best Wheelchair accessibility: Barely, one door might be too small and the ramp for the top is at like the back

Cute family resteraunt trapped in the 80s and I wouldnt change that. Service was good, aside from our server trying to walk off with one of our plates when not finished eating. Now for the food. I ordered fish and chips and honestly dont. It was like eating cardboard, so thin. The fish was definitely store bought. The vinigar was old and sour tasting. The tip of the iceberg for me was the almost 5$ pop....like excuse me? It is unfortunate and hopefully these issues become corrected.

We havent been to Neighbors in several months but have always liked it. We went on a Thursday evening around 6pm and when we got there we thought it was closed. Just then a woman whipped open the doors and declared that the restaurant was open. We went in and to our surprise the place was empty, a fact we found to be strange since it was quite busy around town. We found that the menu was fairly simplified from the last time we were there. I ordered the roast beef dinner and my wife ordered the Teriyaki salmon. Both dinners were very tasty and the roast beef dinner was only $22. Our only issue was our waitress had a body odour miasma that I could smell before she got within 20ft of us. I literally had to hold my breath when she came to our table. Each person reading this may have a different reaction to it. For me, it was really repulsive especially while I was eating. Then when we finished our meal, even though we were the only people there, it took forever for us to get the bill and pay. We literally watched the waitress wash the dishes while laughing and talking to the kitchen staff while we waited to leave. While the food was very good, I can maybe see why the place was empty based on the service and the body odour.

Very attentive and friendly service. Food came pretty quick for a group of 6, regardless they provided a few fries as a free appetizer while we waited which was thoughtful.

DO NOT COME HERE DO NOT COME HERE DO NOT COME HERE Literally one of the worst experiences I have had in a family restaurant. The house salad looks like it has been cut in the 20th century and left in the fridge since. The rib is dry like Sahara dessert, if you don t tell me those are ribs I would have thought I was eating jerky. The gravy on the mash potato tastes like it came straight off the Walmart shelf. I could have stayed home and pull out the leftovers in my fridge and still have a better meal than this. If you don t believe me you are welcome to come and test it out yourself!

The decor is dark and dated, but the service, and food is absolutely great. Our server Sasha was very cheerful and pleasant. Everyone at our table enjoyed their meals. I had the Butter Chicken, and it was very good. 5 stars to the chef...your food is absolutely great.

May 22, 2024

Ordered a grilled cheese $9 for ONE slice of Kraft singles and it doesn t even come with fries $9 for that pitiful grilled cheese alone. The haddock is basically just a fish stick type patty as well . Very disappointing

May 22, 2024

At one time this place was an excellent choice to go for breakfast. The new owners have ruined that. Waiting 30 minutes for breakfast that wasn t even that good is a waste of time and money. Not to mention the workers are just standing around with extended family coming in clogging up the walkways for people to get by. There were multiple people coming in to have job interviews while people are waiting for food, very unprofessional and a total lack of repsect for paying customers. This restaurant has lost the charm it once had.

May 22, 2024

I can t even believe the experience me and my mother in law had . long story short we left after 30 minutes of sitting there with no food and we only order poutine and a grilled cheese.. none of the staff knew what they were doing, mind you their was only about 5 others tables including ours so it wasn t even a packed restaurant every single customer while we were in there also complained about how terrible the service was and how it took forever just to get their food and one couple even sent there food back. I ll never go back here.

Used to love this place when I visited my family in Lindsay! The prime rib used to be my favorite. After today, I will not be going back. It was so tough and chewy I couldn t even eat it. Me and my guest both had to leave hungry. What a shame . Used to be great food!

Unfortunately not the experience I was hoping to have as a family dinner. Breakfast was ok at best. My toast arrived half way through my meal as it was forgotten. The real kicker was the $3 charge after 11am on all meals with no explanation as to why, but no reduction on meals being delivered late. Not sure the owners realize who the customer really is. Coffee refills you have to hunt down someone to get another coffee, price was high and service was not good. I will not go back again as it was that bad Sorry folks, to see the staff sitting around at the bar area and not working was a complete put off. Good luck

Went for lunch today. Very disappointing experience. Ordered sandwich platters which include fries, pickles and colesaw. Cold oil soaked fries, awful colesaw and a sliver of a pickle. Took awhile to come take our drink order and then our lunch order. Hubby ordered grilled rueben on rye. 1 piece of pastrami with cheese only. Not what he was expecting. I ordered Chicken Soulvaki pita, very litle chicken in it. Chicken was very dry and pita was burnt. I had to ask waitress for colesaw as it came without it. I didnt end up eating it. We didnt want to complain to waitress, she was not the cook. Unfortunately will Not be returning to this restaurant.

Family day decided to take my son out to our favourite breakfast place. The waitress was wonderful she was friendly and quick. We did wait about 30 minutes for breakfast to come to the table I did not realize it was under new ownership, definitely not the same quality food. Toast was not toasted, bacon was so overcooked and homefries were definitely not the ones i had come to enjoy over the last 20+ years. I wont be back i also dont mind paying for quality but this was not it.

December 22, 2023

Our waitress Joyce was lovely but it cost me $19 for my breakfast ($3 more because I ordered after 11). I don t like eggs so I asked for a few extra beans (instead of the 3 eggs). I received the tiniest amount of beans and they were cold! So it cost me $19 for 2 pieces of toast, 7 pieces of bacon, cold beans and a few hashbrowns. This used to be a spot we would go to often and I will never go again. Since ownership changed, prices went right up and amount of food became less. This was the third time I have left disappointed (I gave the benefit of the doubt and didn t base my poor experience on the one time). We will now frequent a new spot.

We were disappointed. Pricey menu with most menu items having a $4 upcharge if you want a garden or greek salad instead of fries. We asked waitress about this upcharge as we wanted the Beef Dip which was already $18. She advised to ignore the upcharge, not applicable so we both got Ceasar salads & Beef Dip. The beef dip came on a hamburger bun which was soggy and there was minimal beef. The Ceasar salad had simulated bacon bits....not great. For $18 we felt this was way overpriced. And if they did upcharge us, it would have been $22! We wont be back.

I have loved eating here for many years, but since the new owners have taken over the quality of the meals and availability of certain dishes have hurt their popularity with me. The staff are great, always polite, kind and efficient.

If I could give zero stars thats what it would be......Ever since Neabors restaurant was taken over Ive watched the patrons decline. The food is absolutely terrible, the cooks have no idea how to make food. This is the 3rd time the food was absolutely terrible. The waitress, was absolutely fantastic..as her other waitress was not able to work tonight She was working alone, No help..and the owner was no where to be found to help her..

If you want to come here, prepare to wait over an hour to get your food.

Have been enjoying visits to Neabors for many years, when in town to visit family. Previous visit was disastrous, was anxious about going back. Im happy to say todays dinner was back to nearly the standard I had grown to enjoy under the original ownership. As always, hats off to Sherry for stellar service. Hoping tonights experience shows the restaurant is recovering, and will soon be full to bursting with happy customers again.

Neabors is a wonderful restaurant. We meet family for dinner there on Wednesday evening for dinner and catch up as we hadnt seen each other in a while and Lindsay is a half way mark for each of our travel times between us. The decore and atmosphere is wonderful. We arrived at 530 and the restaurant was not busy. Sherry our waitress was great. Friendly , attentive and sociable. The menue has a good variety of selection. The prices were average. The portions of food were large ..took some home. Food was served fast and hot. Have previously lived in Li day back in the 70s and frequently pass through town si ce than and this restaurant will be a return to one. Ps. The restaurant is in the Mall near the back but there is also a parking lot entrance also. Thanks to Sherry and those in the kitchen for a wonderful dining experience Dave

Worst service waited forever to order like 30 min then another 30 min for food food was way overpriced for what you got would not recommend this restaurant at all do yourself a favor and give it a miss

December 22, 2023

Went in this restaurant today and there was only one waitress which I do believe it was the manager I had chicken parmigiana which was rubbery also it took 35 minutes from when I ordered and finally getting the meal Ask for extra napkins took 15 minutes and had to wait to pay the bill as she was busy giving food to another group Restaurant had several tables taken and everyone is waiting food sits in the kitchen under heat lamps Prices have increased but service has gone down

Not good. Understand there are new-ish owners. Can go either way. This went negative. It s about the food so it s small things. All day breakfast bacon was reheated and either burnt or that flabby non-cooked fat type of thing. Just cook the bacon when it s ordered. Yes it s harder to do. But the short cuts taste a lot like, well, short cuts. And not good. We won t be back. You shouldn t bother either.

I m such a normal guy who love to enjoy the simple things in life, I went to this place and I meet this beautiful and super kind lady as the waitress, I was a little disappointed about the fact that they didn t had expreso, but I decide to enjoy a coffee with baileys on it, and a classic grilled sandwich with bacon, That was the best grilled sandwich I ever ate, I love how they keep the super quiet atmosphere, I enjoy every minute in this place, thanks to the waitress, she make me have a really good lunch, I didn t get her name, but I m sure that she s the soul of the restaurant!

December 22, 2023

Not good! The food was terrible. My son got chicken parm which was watery, flavorless, did not come with enough sauce and no sauce on the chicken, just big tomato chunks. Breading was terrible on the chicken, Fries were dry and old from sitting for so long, gravy had no flavor. We ordered an app which came at the same time as our main course. Wont be going back!

We did not have a good experience here. Everything has changed. The quality of food is much less, the servers are not educated on any dish I asked about. We are very disappointed and will not be going back. This restaurant was one of the reasons we traveled to Lindsay to shop and eat. We will now be going elsewhere.

I used to love the place and have been coming here since 2009. There are not many good restaurants in the area, which make each one count. After my trip to Canadian tire I came by to have an early diner. The menu looked different and promising. However I was a bit confused about some pricing options. I have ended up choosing Greek. Lamb souvlaki was dry and for two skewers there was less meat than ordering a single one from a friendly Greek. On my return visit I have ordered prime rib, which was sold out around 5pm make your own conclusions. I have considered butter chicken, given that if it is made authentically New Deli style, it could be amazing, however upon repeated clarifications that cooking spices is not the same as the dish being spicy I have assumed that it would at best be a Costco prepared sauce and at worst some bulk food sauce. I have settled for a roast beef which was difficult to cut as it was harder than overcooked souvlaki I had the other day. I used to come here regularly, however I fear that besides the descent atmosphere and good service from Sheryl, my last visit didn t bless me with her service, there is little reason to come back I really liked the menu which meals, if cooked well, in authentic home style, like it used to be would make this place an amazing feat.

We went with another couple and had a variety of their food. It was all excellent. Prices are very good, and the Server was a delight. FYI The steaks are nice and tender, but ask for them a little more done than you would normally. We shared a 1/2 litter of wine with our meal plus a 12 Oz New York Strip Lion steak and 2 pieces of Liver and our total bill with taxes included was just $75.00.

December 22, 2022

While our food was good it took almost an hour to get our meals. The people beside us, who came in after us, were served before us. Our server was rude and made inappropriate comments to us and others she was serving throughout the whole time we were there. We won t be returning.

Went for our anniversary. Made a 5:00 reservation because we were taking our grandchildren to the cinema at 6:45. We arrived ten minutes early and ordered by 5:00. We asked to bring the garlic bread first because the kids were hungry. At six I asked why it s taking so long and the waitress said the cook is overwhelmed . At 6:10 the bread came followed by our meals at 6:15. The people at the table below us came in after us and were almost done their meal when ours arrived. The turkey dinner was mediocre with lumpy potatoes and lumpy gravy. The medium rare roast beef was well done accompanied by two hairs The waitress was embarrassed about it and made an adjustment to our bill. She was amazing and very friendly. My grandson said if the waitress owned the place it would be amazing. Don t think we ll be returning anytime soon. Mrs. R. Purdy

If I could give a negative star I would. Neighbors WAS my favourite restaurant until tonight. We had reservations for 3 people at 5:30. The waitress was in a misetable mood from the moment we entered. We waited at least 10 minutes for her to take our drink order. We ordered 2 prime rib dinners and a chicken burger. An hour after arriving I inquired how much longer it would be as we had tickets to a play for 7. The waitress said 5 more minutes. Finally after 10 minutes we got up went to the cash and said we could not wait any longer. We paid for our pops and left. The 3 people at the next table also got up and left. Staff or owners never apologized or anything. You would even think they would have offered our pops for free, but nope. I know you might have been short staffed like a lot of businesses but then do not have all your tables open. Negative reviews travel fast in a small town

We visited Neighbours yesterday. We arrived at 5:45 at the peak of the dinner hour. It was packed. It took quite a bit longer than normal to get our food but it was worth it. The waitresses were overwhelmed because of the sudden onrush of people but were doing their best to wait on tables. We witnessed the remarks of the customer who was in a hurry to eat as he had an engagement at a certain time and was pressed for time complaining that someone else was served before his table and had arrived later. It put a damper on the atmosphere of the restaurant. We are coming out of a pandemic. We haven t dined out in ages. We understand the staff shortages. We understand that the staff are overworked and doing the best they can. They deserve to be treated kindly. They have had little wages for two years! If you are in a hurry to eat as you have to be somewhere else to go, go to a fast food restaurant. This restaurant caters to the seniors especially and we aren t usually in a big rush. I don t eat out very often so this was a treat. The new owner is very nice and friendly. His face showed genuine excitement for the people who were having birthdays. It is a learning curve to get things running as smoothly as the previous owners but it will come. Give them a chance. I know I will be back.

Everything here is frozen in time, from the décor and menu to the ambience and atmosphere. Arrived here for lunch, no one was at the door to greet. Waited for about 10 minutes for the (manager?) to come out of the kitchen to give a nudge to a waitress to come and seat my father and I. Once seated, we were given a bad taste by the clearly miserable waitress, who neither introduced herself and was clearly bored. Not even a glass of water or anything. We waited a good 30 minutes (the dining room was empty, except for 3 other tables; not even 10 people); waitress never came to even ask for our drink order. The chairs were rock hard.. you would find better seating in a hospital waiting room. We looked at the menus and, frankly, for the prices charged, compared to a year ago, I wasn t looking to get ripped-off by bad food in a bad ambience. Needless to say, this place needs to either change or go. There s no friendly Neighbour to be found here. We walked out and went to Wendy s after waiting 45 minutes and still nothing.

The servers were very nice and welcoming. We ordered the souvlaki plates and it was really dissapointing. Small rice portion, 3 potatoes, 1 skewer and salad. Everything was flavorless, had to add salt to everything. When the bill came and it was 25$ I was blown away. Definitely not aligned to the food portion or quality.

December 22, 2022

Wow! I ve been going to Neabors for years and unfortunately today will be my last. I believe it must be under new ownership or management. $3 a coffee $3 for a side of gravy. $18 for a clubhouse made from processed mystery meat. I asked for a water with lemon they charged me .30 cents for the lemon. And I didn t even receive the water lol. I asked for a clubhouse on brown, received it on white. My colleague ordered a soup to start, never received it. The place was empty not topical for this restaurant. My bill for a sandwich, fries and gravy and a coffee was $29.00. Price isn t the problem it s the quality. Sorry Neabors, that s the last you will see of me.
