Island Girls Diner in Saint John

Not much for toppings on the cheese burgers. Meat was bland.

Best home style cooking in saint john!! Always a great meal at a great price and served with a smile

Great local restaurant

Nice little place for breakfast. Nicely themed and well decorated.

What a great breakfast and affordable!

Excellent x 2

Very friendly staff. Great food and fairly priced.

The service is great. The food is fantastic. And, the East Coast hospitality is second to none. Highly recommend :)

Excellent restaurant, quality of dishes, service and quite good value for money Parking: Large free parking lot in front of the restaurant

Good food and excellent customer service. I had Eggs Benedict.

A great find! Highly recommend, great place with lovely service, delicious food, and great atmosphere!

My husband and I both really enjoyed this restaurant. We had both breakfast and supper at this restaurant. I had the lobster roll which was just the way dad used to make it. And the lobster was fresh! The kitchen was fast and our waitresses were very efficient and pleasant.

Ok for a quick bite on the road.

definitely hawaii relaxing vibes, and service was amazing!!!

Yummy soup, fabulous waitress!!

Excellent food, friendly staff!

Great place for a light breakfast and a place to chat. Love the service here. Waiters are very friendly.

Great breakfast diner. Food was cooked perfect and it came with baked beans (old school and I love it)

Had a fabulous breakfast. They have a senior menu which I love. Very very friendly service. Highly recommend.

Great good and lovely staff.

Everything and everyone in Island Girls Diner was amazing! Our server was very friendly. The food came out quickly and it was delicious! I can t resist an all day breakfast!

We were in Saint John for our honeymoon as we wanted to see the whales. Our first day there, we ate at the hotel and the food was not great and really over priced. For the rest of our time in Saint John, we wanted to find a home style restaurant so we checked online and found the Island Girls Diner. We ate at the diner on Wednesday morning and the food, atmosphere and friendly staff were awesome. We came back for breakfast and dinner each day until we left. Anyone looking for a great meal should visit, oh and dont forget to get a piece of coconut cream pie. I wonder if they ship pies to Ontario?

First time from Northern Ontario. They make amazing fish and chips. If youre smart you will share it so that you can then enjoy a piece of homemade coconut cream pie - if you have no room take it to go- you wont be disappointed. Very nice atmosphere and the waitresses were very kind.

All day breakfast is a must

Great meal

The food in the atmosphere is always great here love it

Most tasty onion rings weve had in a very long time and the coconut cream pie was great to.

I ve never had a bad meal here. The food is home-style type, which are all delicious, and the service is great. Definitely recommend.

Just had a lovely breakfast here at Island Girls. It was really busy but you would never know by the service because it was very fast. The homemade baked beans were my favourite. I really wish I got a piece of the chocolate cake with boiled icing though!

Been here a few times now, food and atmosphere are always good!

Really good service. The waitress was very friendly. Didnt have to wait long. The food was delicious. Would go back. Parking: Free parking. Lots of parking

Definitely our to go place for breakfast on weekends.

Delicious breakfast meal and great service. I really liked the seafood chowder.

Great place to grab a bite. Eager to try breakfast here.

The staff were great to deal with and so friendly

Staff are awesome, food is great. Love it here

Wonderful diner, the people are wonderful, the portions are great and they are busy. The prices are reasonable as well. It is a diner so sometimes the overall flavor is plain. Update: back today, food was amazing, the chocolate cake with boiled frosting was HUGE! Burgers are superb!

Nice quaint spot for any meal, great staff, great food and a unique atmosphere based on island fishing and lifestyle

Nice family type diner. Always planned to visit the old location, but they moved before we were able to. Great food, very nice staff. Gluten-free options are available. We will be back. Finally, somewhere decent to sit and eat with family on the west side of Saint John. Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free options are available upon request.

Went in for breakfast a little pricey

Great place, bright, cheerful, waitresses are nice, food is great, prices are always good

Loved it here

I was really impressed with this place. The Eggs Benny were delicious, and the coconut cream pie was amazing. Definitely be back...might be my new favorite breakfast place. Gets busy, be ready to wait.

Great service, great breakfast and atmosphere. Delicious eggs, toast, hash browns, and coffee.

Best breakfast in town

Amazing food. An old-school diner feel. Love it. Well worth the drive from Fredericton.

My first time here and my word it will not be the last. I find the best test to a diner is the eggs benny and they rocked it. One of the absolute best I ve had. As for the coconut cream pie. It s award winning but is it good? No. It s incredible. It s the perfect coconut creme pie. From crust to whip, you won t find better . Anywhere. Great service too, very welcoming.

The service was great, and the waitress was very friendly and attentive. Food was delicious and good-sized portions.

Cant say that I would be interested in returning. Ordered my usual choices and it was double the price of other restaurants in the area.

Kid-friendliness: Perfect customer service

Great food and portions.

A Happy Atmosphere it Is. Love the Vibe of the people eating there. Feels like the server and the costumers are family. Food taste so good. A Little pricey but So good. I wish they give more clam. Lots of Fries a little clam.

Really quaint diner If I was a bit later could of got lunch dinner special Went back and had roast beef dinner Yummy Food : 5/5 |

My husband and I heard about this place on the radio and it sounded delish and it was!!! We both had the hot turkey sandwich... Real turkey and beautiful gravy. The only bad was that we were both so full from our meal we couldnt eat one of their awesome looking desserts. But Ill be back...maybe tomorrow

Pretty much will be my go to for fish and chips from now on. Awesome food and good service will keep me coming back for more!

Bad. Everything was bad service was the worst. Got breakfast waited till my food got cold before they even asked if I wanted/needed anything like JAM. We waited and waited for our server to come check on us and she didnt. We left the food on our plates and walked out the door.

Friendly service, real, homemade food! Portions were generous and the gravy on the Poutine was excellent! Turkey sandwich was legit turkey, not deli meat and the coleslaw was great! Menu is limited but everything was really good! Lots of locals when we went which speaks volumes about how good it is! Fern our waitress was warm and made us feel really welcome! Would go back again if in the area.

Always a pleasant place to take a break and have a great meal. Parking: Available close to location Wheelchair accessibility: Relatively easy to get in the door.

Quaint little diner in West Saint John s, decided to try the local fare, stumbled on this diner, with a bright, colorful ambience, friendly wait staff. The clam strips and haddock were fresh and tasty. French toast and eggs were good too! A good start to our visit of the Atlantic Provinces.

Really nice, friendly, local eatery. Good food!

A little piece of island life in Saint John. Coming from Deer Island, Saint John has a city feeling that this diner melts away. It is a comfortable and welcoming breakfast spot with a great menu. Their chocolate cake with boiled icing is to die for if you see it on the counter, buy a piece. It is worth the trip for the cake alone. Never mind the eggs benny, which was amazing as well.

Always a great experience with the Island Girls x Parking: Shared parking with some other businesses. Wheelchair accessibility: Flat entrance and lots of space between tables

We really appreciate the service and food is great

From the old spot to the new and coming from Alberta this place is still friendly, enjoyable and great food! Even gave our girls a couple of frisbees, made their day! One more stop before the trip back, we promise!

The service here was great, very friendly and fast. The food was good, a little greasy but the fish was really fresh. Nice for dinner when we stayed at a nearby hotel.

We came for lunch and after being seated, our server forgot about us and didn t take our order. We sat there for 20 minutes with our one year old son before walking out. My husband tried to get the attention of our server before we decided to leave, but she was more interested in chatting with her colleagues.

Over priced.

The waitress was excellent. Given this was a very inexpensive diner, I found the eggs Benedict to be great given it wasnt a five star restaurant. We had the lobster roll on gluten-free toast so it wasnt as exciting but it was appreciated that they accommodated our needs. For presentation I would have put all of the lobster on one toast instead of offering to, as they looked thinned out that way. The service was amazing

Asked waitress for beef gravy on poutine but received chicken gravy. Waitress took a while to get to our table to take our order. I was finished long before wife received her correct poutine. Yacking with staff & customers. If you have time to lean you have time to clean. Flies everywhere. Not impressed with your new employee! Parking: Not enough. No handicapped parking.

We have enjoyed our meals there this week.

I had the large Island Poutine and my wife had the BLT and fries. Both very good meals.

Your waitresses are super friendly and willing to help serve you, the atmosphere is very welcoming and you feel like you re home in the maritimes. It s a beautiful place to be able to bring your grandmother out for a very filling lunch, breakfast, supper or even a cup of coffee for that break from shopping. The prices are very reasonable. I give it a 5 star rating. Very well done folks.

A lovely neighbourhood diner with healthy servings and friendly staff.

This is an excellent breakfast place and offers a great menu for ither meals the food is of outstanding quality and flavor

First time eating at this resto. Food and service were both honest and non-exaggerated. Prices were very reasonable and I m sure I ll bring more people to try the food here. We had the nights s specials, which were hot turkey sandwich and roast beef dinner. Both were fresh and delicious. Thank you!

Breakfast are fantastic

Food fresh and hot. I had the fish chowder in was blown away at how large it was and how good it was. Will be coming back again to try your fresh clams and chips

Great diner with an amazing all day breakfast. Offering a fried bologna and egg breakfast, simply the best home cooking flavour in this diner. Definitely coming back. Food

HIGHLY RECOMMEND Island Girls Diner SJ - I was in this week for lunch, besides their delicious perfection, the customer service is amazing. I didnt realize it but I had lost a very sentimental piece of Jewelry at their location. The staff who found it turned it into management for me. So Thankful

Large delicious portions of food, amazingly fast service and the ladies are nice too. Had the carlito and had to take some back home, it was a super filling portion.

Breakfast was great. Eggs were Sunnyside. Not over cooked. Friend got fresh toast. I will try that next time.

Good breakfast. Good portion sizes.

Such an awesome serving of delicious breakfast food. If you love breakfast this is an awesome spot to go. I ordered the fish cake breakfast. With a side of hollandaise sauce. The fish cakes were full of flavor and pieces of fish. My eggs were cooked perfectly, beautiful over easy yolk. The beans were sweet, not tomatoey, which I prefer. Hashbrowns grilled with onions were yummy but next time I think Ill ask for more onion. The milk and sugar for your coffee comes in a giant scallop shell. Such a cute added touch. Would definitely eat breakfast here again!

Excellent service. Excellent food. Everything cooked perfectly. Our waitress was wonderful

This is just the kind of place Im looking for when traveling. We had dinner (takeout) which was good and then came back for breakfast inside on Sunday morning. Lots of locals bringing kids and family in. Even though the place is in a strip mall, its full of sun and really feels like a diner on the inside. My only criticism is pancake syrup in packets rather than a bottle for breakfast inside and premade tarter sauce in packets for takeout. This is a lot more McDonalds than classic diner. CAUTION: There are photos of what turned out to be very old, outdated menus on Google Maps. It looks like sometime in the last few years, they stripped their menu down. There are no clams or lobster rolls or seafood platters other than fish & chips. The entire menu is a single page now (photo below).

Great service

Wasnt the best experience for the first time trying..waitress never checked or asked how meal was...ordered fish and scallops and the scallops were not prepared properly.

Youll love it here.The service is very good and the owner is from PEI.Good value for the money and the food is very good.Its a place youll want to go back to.The deserts are swesome!

Great service and super welcoming environment. Food was great my burger was a little over cooked but everything else was great !

The best eggs Benedick...Plus friendly atmosphere.

This was my first visit, but I dont think it will be my last! The food was delicious; the portions were very reasonable, and the prices are great based on the quality and quantity.

Grest place staff very polite and accommodation in

Delicious home cooked breakfast - the grilled home fries were amazing! friendly and attentive service too. Would definitely recommend if you re looking for a local spot in st.John!

Great service, very kind staff and chills friendly with a childs menu. Did quality for what was eaten was excellent and just how you expect it to taste from a dinner that was back in the 70s it had a lot of nastalgia. The building is oddly shaped but I do think thats because they are using 2 normal sections that would be separate stores but they knocked out a wall section to open up the dinning rooms and bathrooms. Service is excellent Parking: It can be a little right at peak times as it is a strip mall but even so no problem myself. Kid-friendliness: The have a kids menu with a drawing puzzle on the back of the menu. high chairs, staff was very friendly and one how to work with kids.

Comfortable atmosphere. Excellent fried seafood and the poutine is in comically large portions. Lovely staff as well. Top notch diner.

Great food, reasonable prices, very bright and clean. Kid-friendliness: Kids were thoroughly entertained with colouring.

A warm welcome, a good choice of dishes and a fair price.

Just had dinner at Island Girls Diner for the first time while we spend the night in St Johns waiting for the ferry to Digby tomorrow. Food was excellent and the service couldnt have been better. Great job!

Good food. Friendly staff. Grear coffee!

Such a lovely experience! Delicious breakfast food, great timely service and a warm ambience. We will be back.

Frikkin awesome service and some really tasty food!! Got takeout today and entered for a draw for 2 free breakfasts. I WILL be back!!

Small diner in a strip mall. Lots of offerings. Fresh baked desserts. Fish and Chips offered by how many pieces of fish you want. I had one and it was plenty for me. Fried clams and chips was plentiful. Service was attentive. Parking: Plenty of on site parking.

Really liked the Eggs Benny and the fish and chips

I had the big breakfast. Portions were plentiful. Food was good as well as the service. Staff is friendly and helpful. Would definitely visit again.

Good solid diner. Service was awesome and Friday seafood chowder was delicious

Fried fish was dry and dull tasting. Meh.

10 out of 10 would recommend any day of the week

Perfect as always

Fantastic food, excellent service. Highly recommend for breakfast, lunch or dinner!

Friendly service and our meal was excellent! Highly recommend this restaurant

These ladies serve a great breakfast! Good service, reasonable prices!

The staff was personable and attentive, and the food? Incredible. This will be our go to place when we eat out from now on.

Great service and food and prices were reasonable.

We waited almost 45 or more for our food. Food order wasnt right. But over all nice spot. Friendly waitresses and the food was good.

The Benny was good. The hashbrowns needed some spices.

Took my mother out for her birthday Tuesday. We both got the turkey pot pie and mash potatoes and a order of onion rings to share. All the food came out quickly. And I dont think Ive had food that hot before! Fresh out of the oven ! Not that Im complaining it was really nice to have hot food and not warmed under a heat lamp ! Our waiter was very nice and welcoming ! 10/10 experience all around definitely will be back again !

Our first time, but will not be our last. Friendly service, the food was cooked fresh, served hot and very tasty. Great value.

Lovely place. Great food and service. Pretty full of customers but still great service.

Excellent

Down visiting our Daughter and they brought us here because they were referred here as well. I had the Carlito and everyone else had the Island Girls special. The food was cooked nicely and was hot when it came out. One of the best reviews is not leaving any food behind, which is what happened with us. Not a scrap left. It was also nice having the maritime theme around while we were eating. Its definately worth eating here.

Friendly service. Good food. Clean place. On vacation for the first time in Canada and wanted a classic diner experience and thats what I got.

Delicious! And, thanks for your support of Ukraine!

Service was a little slow but overall good experience, food was good and service was lovely.

Great service with good home-cooked food

Best food in town

Food wasnt anything special I got breakfast there

Great food great atmosphere and great service!

Very pleasant staff. Good home cooked meals,good service.I have had many meals at there old establishment as well.

Great food, great service , great atmosphere, friendly staff, I would definitely recommend this place. A hidden gem.

Slow service....achingly slow service. The server blamed us for the time it took..because we didnt order soup. Go to anywhere else.

Very nice service and friendly staff

Always the best and friendliest service. Fantastic food too!

Stopped here for lunch today with a friend who is gluten intolerant. Our server, Katie, was incredible! She had suggestions forbordering that were gluton free. She also had suggestions for everyday purchases as well for a gluten free life. I have always had excellent service to match the excellent food but today Katie went above and beyond! Thank you for the great food and for employing great people!

Excellent breakfast served all day. The coconut cream pie is incredible!

The environment is easy, pleasant and bright. The people are kind, genuine, and down to earth in every way. The food is delicious! I generally have the fish and chips which they are well known for. Absolutely delicious., I have also had a soup and sandwich combo, which did not fail to please my tummy. A wonderful restaurant. To go, and enjoy the delicious food, and happy atmosphere.

Food is delicious

Very busy place but good breakfast at decent prices. Attentive, nice servers.

It was just ok, not the experience as their other location and the food was just ok, dont think I will go back

Satisfied two hungry hungover people. Everything was perfect diner food. Home fries, good; sausages, good; eggs, good; pancakes good. Will return for more.

Delicious as always !

Delicious breakfast sandwich. Super nice staff.

Fantastic food and even better service! Definately worth the drive from Kingston, Ontario!

It was a great place to go. I really enjoyed myself. They make you feel very welcomed.

Good food. And exceptional service. The artifacts and pictures on the walls added to the ambience.

Liked the old location better, just because it was unique. Staff us great, wish they still served clams.

Food was delicious. The staff were fantastic.

We had a nice lunch, food was delicious. Will probably be back to try the breakfast someday!
