The staff were amazing. Food -I had spaghetti, the noodles were a little undercooked so I ate mostly the sauce. It was very meaty. My husband had the meatloaf dinner. Both of us suffered intense symptoms vomiting and diarrhea with stomach cramps within 3 hours. Our son had chicken and did not have these issues.

I was here on April 19th with my family around 7pm. Everyone in the restaurant was very unhappy and we didn't know why. Until after waiting for our food for an hour and a half you could hear everyone complaining. Once our food was brought out the food wasn't great. My fries were as white as when they were peeled. Took 20 mins for them to bring out my kids tiny garlic bread which was then burnt and they were already done eating. I've tried to address this problem on their Facebook page only to be blocked. I've been here many times so it's unfortunate for this terrible service

We ordered the turkey dinner. All homemade! The turkey was tender and so delicious as well as the stuffing and turkey gravy, two scoops of mashed potatoes and turnip and carrots. Large potions of each. It also came with a piece of pie of your choice. The pie crust melted in your mouth; the filling scrumptious. Each meal was packed in a sturdy container with a reusable lid which came in handy for those of us who couldn t eat our whole plate so was able to store it to have later. I highly recommend this restaurant for a wonderful takeout experience.

The waitresses are always super nice and helpful. I eat here a lot and never had a problem. By the best breakfast in North bay. The lasagna too and pierogies are the best as well. Kid-friendliness: Always mindful of kids eating there. My son is a picky eater so they were so kind about keeping certain things off his plate.

Great little stop. Worth coming here everytime were in north bay for a pit stop! Always so busy and you know that shows a lot about a place. Only recommendation would be to spruce it up a littttle bit and lean into the diner vibes more because its very beige but honestly thats the only thing I can really comment on. Service was understandably a bit slow as it was busy and some of the girls behind the counter werent doing much and the waitress we had was doing most things. Disappointed for the waitress as she should be getting help from her team but she did a great job managing on her own. (Glad my tip went just to her) See you next time we drive by !

Had lunch last week, chicken club wrap and soup was fresh and delicious! Always generous portions. Cyndi treated us well. Lunch this week was their julienne salad. Fresh and tasty. I like that they don t use bagged lettuce. Tastes so much better. Charlene was super friendly as always. Place was busy! Good to see!

i phoned ahead for a christmas dinner pickup, my wife has a broken leg and i am unable to wear a mask because of breathing problems, also have doctors papers saying i am excempt from wearing a mask, went to get our meals and was told i cant pick them up unless i wear a mask, every place i know lets you do pickups without wearing a mask, was shuffled out of the place. I asked a truck driver if he could get our meal after explaining about my wife and the no mask, he went and got our christmas meal and i gave him 10 bucks for doing so, when did it become wrong to not to be able to pickup food from a restaurant, where i make contact with no customers and all the staff wear masks,Two weeks before we went in and had our meal after i showed my excempt card and nothing was said, I am 72 and my wife is 73, there is just the 2 of us and this was our meal, i would like to thank the bay truck stop for treating us so unkind, they could have brought our meals out to the car that was 10 feet from the door, but instead treated us like lepers, Merry Christmas to you and your staff hope you had a wondeful Christmas

My family and I started regularly coming to Bay Truck Stop for breakfast on the weekends just before the pandemic began and we haven t gone anywhere else since! It s the best breakfast in the bay. The waitresses are THE BEST, such sweet ladies! Always look forward to coming here. 10/10 will always recommend!

December 22, 2022

Will never stop there again. Stopped in with my husband and grandson and it took 10 min for the waitress to bring us two bottles of pop. Then I had to remind her 15 min later that we still needed the baby s milk. We both ordered burgers and the order was mixed up and the opposite toppings were on the burgers. And even if the order had been correct the food was not worth the $. I could understand if it was busy but we were literally the only ones in there at the time.

This truck stop is just to the North of North Bay and is a very convenient truck stop. Lots of parking space available, good and clean washrooms. They could level the parking area and make it more organised, but for now I guess it works. Staff are friendly and helpful. Check out their sunglasses, found some cool ones. Thinking of picking a couple when I go next. Edit: Took shower twice now and wow I love that they have heated floors, they make sure its clean before each use, give towels and soap as complimentary to use. You need to fuel up Min 200ltrs diesel to get it free. Had Fish and chips from the restaurant, huge quantity, very filling, fresh and tasty too. Friendly server too. Parking: Huge parking lot

My husband and I tried this place for the first (and last) time today after seeing the commercials on TV. I had the beef quesadilla and he had the Rueben. Both orders came with fries (that werent at all brown or crispy even after I had asked for really crispy). I have never had a quesadilla with less flavour, and it was supposed to be beef with cheese....very scarce on both.The Rueben looked like it was soaked in the same grease that everything else had. It tasted really old. The staff were friendly though.
