Karen, don't forget to try Maker's Mark Whisky! Some say it's orgasmically delicious! However, be sure to savor it as though its expensive chocolate. In fact, it has strong caramel notes, which happens to be my reason for getting it in the first place. Anywho, let me know how you make out with it?

The food is usually great but the fries were tough, the gravy was mid at best and tge wings were disgusting. I can eat anything if I want but it was no joy in the meal I had. It really was a waste of money this time. Usually they are way better. The turkey flip was great I enjoyed it more than the wings chips deluxe. Next time I'm sticking to the fish because their wings are weird.

Found a Red pushpin that was baked into a turkey roll. Never ever had an issue with Fabulous Foods before now. Will be more cautious in the future.

Simply the best turkey around. They've got turkey lot pies, hot turkey sandwiches that come with a pile of fries, dressing, gravy, and peas! Super reasonably priced (about $10 a for the plate pictured) - and their homemade flakies are a must-have.

Stopped in for supper and picked up a Turkey pie, and a giant flakie. Easy to get distracted by all the pastries and pies on display. Staff are always on hand, very friendly!

Absolutely fabulous homemade "comfort food" served up with a warm smile by some sweet and friendly ladies...if you've never been to Fabulous Foods, do yourself a favour and check them out! :) I'm trying my best to sample every delicious offering...I love their Turkey Pie and Cold Turkey Sandwich...for dessert maybe a fresh Strawberry Flakie or a creamy Vanilla Square...yummy! Hmmm...can you guess where I'm going for lunch? :)

Ordered a hot turkey deluxe. Its supposed to come with fries dressing and gravy. I asked for the gravy on the side. What I got was a plate full of fries covered in gravy with no dressing and a piece of bread underneath it all. No dressing barely any turkey no flavor.

Very friendly place to go for mom and pops style food, unfortunately the food can be kind of hit or miss if you stray from the turkey pie path. That said the turkey pies are delicious. Theyve also managed to keep prices pretty low for their portion sizes and competition. VERY busy around mealtimes

A St. Johns classic for old school take out grub!! Those turkey flips with a side of gravy for dipping are the bomb, and the cream puffs are a tower of deliciousness. You wont go hungry here, buddy. Kid-friendliness: There is no eat-in option, but they have menu items suitable for kids.

It was an accidental visit to fabulous Foods. Only to discover the house next door was my home between 1931 and 1942. Brought a tear to my eye. The street is named Merry Meeting Road. And it lived up to its name in spite of the fact it was the firsr 10 yrs of theGreat Depression I REMEMBER WELL MY FRIENDS IE: Paddy Dempsey Winston Hunt, John Stuckless, Jack Fifield, My girlfriend who was also 12 years old at the time. JEAN MacBay. Oh! What memorable times!!!

20 year customer for famous Turkey Pie.....not anymore. On the last 2 occasions that Ive been in, I have to say its been a let down. Last time was Friday Feb 25th, 12:15 was the last time, Your famous Turkey Pie was super dry and totally tasteless. Very disappointing. Someone at Fabulous Foods has taken their hands off the wheel. Well, youd better get a grip or another great St. Johns tradition will be history.

Well they used to have good turkey pies, not anymore. They need to put turkey in their turkey pies thats why its called a turkey pie. Too bad, I went to this place for 40 years will not purchase again. The pie was predominately potatoe a marked difference from the past...I was going to return it but too much trouble I just wont buy there again. Service was always good.

Staff are lovely food not so much. Figured get what I would order years ago. BAD IDEA, Wings were terrible, fries were homemade with rotten potatoes, and way undercooked and dressing are slices at the bottom of the meal. Gravy wasnt too bad. As for the Apricot squares, the pasty was more of meat pie style

December 23, 2021

Disaster..never returning. I am a customer of fabulous foods off and on for over 15 years now.last summer there food could not be touched..u walk in a order and ur food was freshly made right than and there but that us no longer the case. Last year got xlub sandwichs and fries serveral times for picnics at bannerman park where several ppl aproached us on numerous days asking where we got it and how good it smelled and i proudly said fabulous foods . But that will never happen again.over the past few months the quality has slipped but ive let it slide time and again because of past greatness and because it usualy was still good,the amount and quality of the turky now on the club sandwichs has degraded drasticly over the past year while price has increased the toasted club sandwich is no longer made fresh but at minimum its a day old,toast is soggy from being toasted a day ago but also from the lettuce abd tomato been on it the past cpl days.the tomato it self looks like a slice i took off a wendys hamburger and tossed in my garbage 3 days ago or hd been left on the counter..lettuce same thing dehydrated and browning.past 4 times ina row i added cheese and paid for cheese one my 2 sandwichs but never recieved them..i guess they would have to make ot fresh which is to much to ask fabulis foods in its current state to make u fresh food aparently..todays meals fries were the only redeeming quality which is sad because they are a shell of the previous fries i got there just months ago. Got my gravey today but lst 3 times previously they forgot the gravey.also i have come to find out the so called specials and combos are false advertising they are literaly the same price if u got the items seperatly so theres so special price or combo pricing what so ever. Also the bacon seems kinda turnt..u cant really feed ppl 3 day old bacon and expect it to be fine..im so done with this place which is kindof sad causei loved this place(as u can tel by my large text review i feel strongly about this) i felt they were a local gem..a somewhat hidden gem that didnt get enough shine,but oh well life goes on i wont be returning ..i will literaly drive to another city to get a sandwhich before i ever give them another chance this is the stray that broke the camels back

I couldnt leave without 2 cream puffs and a flaky lol Thankfully my kiddo loved the food also and helped me eat the enormous portions! And the staff were fabulous to boot also. All around 10s 10s 10s. This place will be around for another 40 years!! If you havent had tried their turkey pies you are missing out - its an 8$ pie people!

My partner and I saw the insane amount of positive reviews for this place all over the internet, so we decided to try it out. We are extremely confused as to how this place has such glowing reviews as we found the food absolutely revolting. We ordered a turkey sandwich with fries, and chicken nuggets and fries, and it was literally inedible. I LOVE anything turkey, but this turkey was terrible (and dont get me started on their disgusting, watered-down gravy) and neither my partner nor I could eat more than 3 fries, as they tasted extremely strongly of grease. I consider myself to be quite the pig when it comes to food (I will eat almost anything) but I could not stomach to eat this food. Were wondering if either we came on an off day, or everyone in St Johns is a lunatic and thinks this is good food.
