Food is always fresh sometimes takes a little longer if they're busy but well worth the wait service is awesome
My Daughter & I went there. The Food is Great & the Service is Amazing. Definitely will be going back to Eat before going back to Ontario. ( Orignally from Nl )
We waited over an hour for breakfast items.. and ended up having to take out instead of eat in which was not pleasant. The waitress was nice and apologized.
Would give 5 stars but since they are not 24 hour only 4. Not a lot of truck parking but I always seem to find a spot when I need to park. Store and restaurant are clean with friendly staff That was the first time I had been here in a while now for today Oct19,2024 at 2:30pm went to restaurant to grab a bite of lunch asked if I could sit at counter no problem so I sat and ordered coffee and waited over 10 minutes for waitress to return which she did not. So I decided to just pay the $3.90 for only one cup of coffee and left I am sure that I will not likely be back to this location as this service was about the worst I have seen especially since restaurant was less than half full. I think that maybe it was because I am a truck driver that I was not serviced as quickly as others oh well I can keep my money and go elsewhere to eat. hopefully the locals that go here get better service or this place would be out of business.
Ordered a burger and was amazed at how off it tasted. It had a weird, mushy texture to the patty and tasted just like a can of flakes of ham! I had everyone who was with me try it to confirm, and they all agreed that it was exactly like it. Definitely the weirdest and least desirable burger I think I've ever had. I feel as though they may have given me a vegan patty by mistake, the restaurant itself is pretty nice and staff is good but beware the burgers
Top notch. Had an excellent breakfast here. Super friendly team and great service even though they were massively busy. We loved the food. Excellent portions. A wonderful Newfoundland experience.
Overall a really great place to have breakfast. We had the veggie omelet with cheese and toutons egg benedict (with tomatoes rather than bacon). The waitresses are super friendly and kind. We enjoyed the coffee as well. It is also a family friendly restaurant, especially for breakfast. The potatoe fries were also pretty good. Nice experience overall.
I went to this location with my family last night for my wife's birthday. She had the turkey pot pie while the rest of us had breakfast for supper. The wait time wasn't long at and the service was really good. The food was excellent and the desserts were awesome. This was a very reasonably priced meal for four people. I highly recommend coming here.
Stay away from fish and chip full oil and end throwing up after eating.
There fuel for trucks here and few parking overnight there store not open 24hrs but they have good breakfast
Dietary restrictions: If you have common dietary restrictions then they will accommodate you no problem, however if you have more niche dietary restrictions then they cannot. Which is understandable. Here s an example, my mum is allergic to beef she has no problem eating there without beef coming in contact with her food. I have a severe sodium sensitivity, and they cannot accommodate my restrictions.
Kid-friendliness: Yes Wheelchair accessibility: Yes Recommended dishes Chef Salad Parking space
Our server was prompt, polite and pleasant.
Always a 10/10 meal Wheelchair accessibility: Accessible entrance and bathrooms Food : 5/5 |
Great comfort food in a nice environment with great service.
My friend called and asked if they could accommodate dairy free along with the gluten free menu and they said they could- when we got there- they could not. Womp womp
Best grub on the east coast. Fast and friendly service! Try the lemon meringue pie you wont be disappointed!
We go there for every meal, when in the area! Always great good and lots of it! Service is wonderful. Love the food there
Food was delicious, staff are great
Good food ... service was average. No complaints
Wont find better food at a gas station
Food was delicious, great portion sizes and has a decent gluten free menu.
Food was excellent and the service was great. It has a truck stop atmosphere but if you want great food for a good price this is your spot.
Wonderful staff and food was excellent ....
Delious food
Great quality food and service. They dont cut any corners with the quality of their products. Food was fresh to order and service was great. Will definitely be back again soon.
I was over to the big stop and had a turkey sandwich meal with fries dressing, gravy, and carrots. I have to say the meal was absolutely disgusting. It had zero flavor. I m not sure if the turkey was full of bones or pieces of wood. I actually had to get upfrom the table and go to the washroom to remove what appeared to be a piece of wood. It could ve been a bone, but I never seen a bone look like that. I have to say my strongly recommend staying away from the hot turkey meal. this is not the first meal I had there in the last six weeks that wasn t pleasant. I had a fish and chips about 6 or 7 weeks ago and that was awful.
I have a delivery order from doordash and i have to pick up from here and im waiting here more than 45 minutes and they don t care about delivery drivers they didn t cooperative they are only serving people who ordered by phone or din in
Service was great. Havent been there in a long time, was like I went every week. The menu has increased greatly, our food was fantastic ( highly recommend the liver and onions! ( add bacon) Wheelchair accessibility: Easily
A nice restaurant to have a quick breakfast or lunch on the weekend. The food and service havent disappointed but the seating can be a bit cluttered and close (especially on the weekends). Food : 5/5
Great service. Good grub.
I recently stopped at the Mount Pearl Big Stop and had a great experience. The service was friendly and efficient, and the food was delicious. I ordered the fish and chips, and it was cooked to perfection. The portion size was generous, and the price was reasonable. The restaurant was clean and well-maintained, and the staff were attentive to all of our needs. Overall, I had a wonderful dining experience at the Mount Pearl Big Stop and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a tasty meal in a welcoming environment.
Waitress was slow and rude. Fish and chips were half cooked . Not impressed left with no tip hope she clues in. Eaten here before with good food and service
Great breakfast menu!
Good food. Good prices.
Lovely staff, good food and priced well. Great spot for breakfast.
Good food and excellent service I highly recommend this restaurant for a fantastic breakfast. Parking: Apart from snow piles, which is everywhere with the recent snow falls, it was very good.
Friendly fast service , and the food was excellent
This place is great! The desserts are delightful. And the big breakfast is my favorite here. highly recommend.
Im never disappointed in a stop here for a lunch. Staff is super friendly and helpful.
Bacon, bacon...bacon! Breakfast menu is full of the favorites
Absolutely fabulous!!!
The food was disgusting
Went there for lunch and it took us an hour and 20 minutes to get 4 club sandwiches.
The server was the best; a warm smile ,wonderful attitude, great rapport. The food was excellent. A 10 / 10 experience. I will recommend it to others. Food : 5/5
Awesome breakfast, moderately priced, friendly staff and attentive 5 stars
Not my first time visiting this location and receiving bad service. Stopped in here for lunch today and was promptly seated. Unfortunately, nobody stopped at our table to take our order. Waited for a while and finally left and went elsewhere. The restaurant was not busy, no excuse for poor service. Expected more from an Irving Big Stop. On a previous visit, our order was taken, but not submitted to the kitchen.
Great service but overpriced.
Good reliable homestyle menu. Had the hot turkey sandwich with fries. Clean and good service
Great food, ordered the hot roast beef sandwich with mashed potatoes and veggies. I had the Thai Bites as a starter and everything was delicious. Roast beef sandwich had actual sliced roast not the stuff from the deli. Everything tasted amazing.
Homestyle cooking at its finest! Excellent service! We had the turkey dinner with fries, BLT with fries, chicken burger with onion rings and liver and onions. Everything was perfect!!!! Food
The food is so good here even my toddler loves it! We love going for weekend brunch here. The servers are really friendly and great at what they do. The eggs Benedict is full of flavor, down to every last bite. The hollandaise sauce is savory and delicious. Parking: There are plenty of parking spots on both sides of the restaurant and gas bar. Kid-friendliness: The servers are always great to my kids. Always asking if we need anything and interacting with them to get a smile.
The food is delicious, the staff are exceptional, the prices are reasonable. The only complaint I have is the decor is a little dated. I still go to eat here regularly and never regret my decision. Dietary restrictions: The servers and cooks are very good at accommodating restrictions when asked. Parking: There is a lot of parking but where it is attached to a gas station you have to walk a fair distance to get to the building. I dont mind but I usually go with my senior Mom so I end up dropping her to the door. Kid-friendliness: They have high chairs and it is a family restaurant. Wheelchair accessibility: It is all on one level and is wheel chair accessable.
Typical Big Stop, great service and food.
Yeah so this is a truck stop restaurant.. good is fine. Price is about what you would expect... a big problem in st Johns is the short options for breakfast. Unless you have some other place in mind.. this will feed you and get you on your way Kid-friendliness: Yup its fine for families And kids
My family goes here every Saturday morning and maybe throughout the week too . The staff are amazing,very friendly and the food is delicious. I have only one concern .You dont have enough wheelchair parking . Im mobility challenged and need support to walk therefore needing a wheelchair parking space . I had spoken to a gentleman in management and he said they were in the process of making more wheelchair parking places , but it never was done . We go really early to obtain this one space if were lucky , but alot of times we dont. Im sure Im not the only person that has encountered this problem. If more spaces could be added it would be greatly appreciated. Also the handicapped door openers would be nice also as most businesses have then installed on their doors now . It makes it so much easier to enter and exit your restaurant .
Most of my meal was burned. Turned my stomach. Barely ate any of it. Left it to be thrown out. Server never came and check on table after serving meal. Wont be going back.
Great meals there.
When you ask the waitress for hot food (fries) please on poutine. Not just spread hot gravy and thats gonna cut it. Please remake it not reheat it in the microwave, so the actual curds will melt. Had it remade and the fries on the bottom were cold again . Too hungry to complain anymore. I was told it was a new cook . So the benefit of the doubt goes to the cook this time.
Always a pleasure going to this location. People are very friendly. Highly recommended
Excellent
Met for breakfast on a Sunday morning at 10 am. Not too busy. Able to get a booth immediately. Got served quickly however once the food arrived the waitress never returned to see if we wanted a top up on our drinks (tea, coffee and water) or anything else. Food was hot and well made though. Parking: It s attached to a gas station so lots of space to park Kid-friendliness: Lots of families go with kids ranging in ages from newborns all the way up to teenagers and beyond. Wheelchair accessibility: A wheelchair can easily enter and go to a table in the restaurant
absolutely TERRIBLE service! waited almost an HOUR just for our drinks.. the server seemed like she had no clue what anyone was talking about and forgot to ask necessary questions such as: how we would like our eggs, what kind of toast, etc. after waiting around an hour and a half we finally got our food with the WRONG order!! i m beyond upset with the service. go to mcdonald s it s better then this. i won t be back here again.
Every other time we have had a moderate experience. Was looking forward to a treat of their all day breakfast but ended up waiting 30 minutes alone just for our drinks when they weren t even busy!! Our waitress forgot about us and also forgot to ask us the usual questions like how we like our eggs. Not to mention we were even given dirty cutlery!! After an hour and a half finally received food which was made with everything i asked not to be on it, after it was fixed it came out cold. Very disappointed as this place seems more like a zoo than a restaurant. You re better off going to mc Donalds its better managed. Only good thing that came out of it was we got our food for free. Save your money and time and don t eat here!!
Food was great and people were very nice
Love the food here! The best cooks in town! Great servers, managers etc. It can get extremely busy which means sometimes a little wait but its well worth it. Worked here for 8 months with best co-workers ever! Sorry I had to leave Food
Good food..Breakfast is always great
Everyone is very friendly , from the staff at the gas station bar who transfers calls to restaurant- the front staff at restaurant and all the kitchen staff who put together incredible food! Always a good experience Food
Love the all day breakfast.
Awesome food
The employees are very rude I got delivery from here and wait long time nobody respond me and disrespectful They do everyday same thing they are not treated well to delivery drivers
My only critique is the curds were cold and the gravy wasnt hot enough to melt them
Service was a bit slow, but not too bad. Kid-friendliness: Very great place to take kids! Wheelchair accessibility: Couldnt find the button to get in. Not enough wheelchair accessible spots either.
I love going there to eat. Food is great, service is amazing . I tend to give them a hard time when I go there but all in fun. I just love it there
Gotta have a touton :)
Irving, big stop, they re great!
Food was excellent, exceptional service
Good meal liver and onions
Excellent food and great service.
This place never disapoints food is always excellent and the staff Is very friendly
Service was great and the portions was great!
Soooo Good
Was everything I remembered of my childhood. I had a breakfast with all the fixings! It was perfect! Service was great
Its good
Great food, very large portions for a very reasonable price, staff was extremely friendly.
Service was good and food was good but not great, fries were bland and I had fish tacos that were supposed to have slaw and a special sauce but was just red cabbage and red onions chopped and thrown on. The clubs the other people had were good accept for the fries .
Friendly staff, usually good selection in store, and an easy to access location.
L pork chop
My family and myself went there at 4:00pm. Hardly anyone in the restaurant, they sat us at the table in a timely matter and then so nicely forgot about us until they had a full house which took 30 minutes. Then never said sorry just made an excuse in not knowing who got their first, then 5 more tables came in and got sat down and received their meals and had their meals finished and paid for. We was there for 1.5 hours with no food and a bunch of excuses as to why it was taking like it s a bigger table to your last to be done but their was also another table of only two that got ignored as well. We ll never be returning.
Great food and service.
Good breakfast. Friendly staff.
Good Turkey dinner, lots of turkey,dressing, real mashed potato. Lots of gravy.Fast friendly service. The server was very sweet and friendly she was wonderful.
Legendary spot for many and the quality tells you why. Well done.
Dropped in for some supper. Had hot turkey with potatoes and dressing and vegetables. Got realy dry turkey. No veggies. But got 3 scoopes of potatoes that had no flavor. Very little dressing with what looked like maybe 2ml of gravey. Worst food ever. Very disappointed. Wont be going back.
Big portions, friendly staff, decent price. Their breakfast is delicious. Lol
Friendly staff, amazing food. The touton eggs Benedict is the best!
Was seated and several workers passed along and never took our order. We waited a half hour and then left. Will not return!
This place use to be good. The prices have doubled since my last visit, unfortunately the quality of the food has worsened. The coffee is horribly weak and absolutely disgusting - akin to a cup of warm dirty water.
I went at noon, so it was crowded with a line up to get seats. This is to be expected though for that time of day, so I cant hold that against them. The service was quick and efficient. The food was good and the price reasonable. Ill return, but probably not at a peak time like lunch hour.
Great food and very friendly staff
Irving Big Stop Restaurants are my favorite spots for quick food stops when travelling. I was on my way back to Halifax Airport & wanted to have a quick bite before going to the airport. We decided on Irving because its familiar (you know what you are getting every time at an Irving Big Stop since the menu is the same for most if not all locations in Atlantic Canada. I ordered a bowl of the NL delicacy split pea soup with salt beef & veggies & a dumpling. MARVELOUS. THEN I had 1/2 clubhouse sandwich with gravy on the side. It was perfect. Then to top it off I had a pc of Coconut cream pie. Also delicious & a small chocolate milk. I wet from starved to stuffed in short order but OMG it was so good!!!! Vegetarian options: N/A Parking: Lots of parking Kid-friendliness: Definitely a family spot.
Had a wonderful lunch date with my brother we both had breakfast which included eggs bacon sausage ham bologna home fries and instead of toast a chocolate chip pancake it was all delicious but way too much food for me the price was reasonable considering the portion size and the staff, although busy, were friendly and provided awesome service. I will go back for sure!
Food is not bad. Sometimes the service is slow
This is the real deal! Old school truck stop perfection. Food
Good food with friendly service
Service and food was good. We had bad seating next to the cleaning cart and had to ask for it to be moved because of the smell. Overall good experience.
Good food, great service!
Awesome
Love the food! Has a nice homemade feel to it.
Service at the restaurant has slipped a little recently. We were given frozen pie, and when we told the server, she seemed quite indifferent about it. We didnt want her to lose sleep about it, but an offer to fix it or replace it would have been nice :)
Great food and service
Service was a bit slow, but the food was certainly worth the wait. Big portions; good bang for your buck!
My adult son and I had breakfast there today. I have a gluten allergy and was delighted with my gf eggs benedict and pan fried hash browns. Great attention to detail with my allergy. My son had a beautiful omelette with all the fixings. And while the food was delicious, the service was also outstanding! Jo was our server and she was just a delight! Couldn t help but smile every time she checked the table.
Best service in a long time. Really enjoyed my meal
Good food but very over priced
Love the Turkey Soup!
Great food. The toutons are soooo delicious as was the rest of our meal. Wonderful staff.
Omg. The pea soup was amazing.
Absolutely fabulous experience! Everything was clean, arrows on the floor clearly marked and Covid19 protocols clearly in place. The service was fabulous and the breakfast was the best ever! Everything was hot, fresh and delicious! Highly recommend! We will definitely return.
Great place.
My favorite is the Big Stop Omlette, but you cant really go wrong with any order. Service is always fast and friendly even when theyre busy.
Very fast service.
Not recommend
Type of menu thats getting harder to find around town. If you miss Velmas youll love this Big Stop
Love breakfast here! Fast efficient service.

Excellent food & service. Highly recommend this location for Breakfast. Prices are very reasonable as well.
Great breakfast!
Got food and service
When it comes to home cooked meals, this place is the best in town. The service was a little slow, but I really enjoyed the food.
Service is fast and friendly. Food is good and portions are appropriate. Menu items with smaller portions for children and seniors.
Mount Pearl Big Stop Restaurant was clean, bright and busy, and the food was fresh and on time for a business location. The glass dining area was fantastic !
Lovely spot. Homestyle meals. Clean restaurant. Friendly staff.
Great Staff. Great Food. Great Service.
Truck parking available. restaurant is also good.
Definitely some of the best breakfast in St. Johns. Service is generally quick and the food never disappoints. The big breakfast is the way to go, especially if youre in the mood for a feed.
Good dinner food! Staff are always welcoming and friendly
Service and food is always more than good
Food and service was excellent!! Highly recommend! We will be back 1000%
