Worst breakfast ive ever paid for. Toast was like croutons, eggs over cooked, sauasages were dark dark brown and so over cooked they were pretty much powder inside. Nothing was even close to warm. Waitress asked how our meal was and we said not very good but were hungry and she just laughed and walked away.

Wonderful country style diner with plenty of seating. A quaint entrance into a cute little gift shop of many house-made products. Come here for your traditional Mennonite food items! The service is very welcoming. They make you feel very comfortable. This was our first time here. It won't be our last! We very much enjoyed the experience!

Was very disappointed in the food as a was expecting it to be tasteful and full of flavor.. pierogies and cream gravy were very Bland... Pioneer farmer sausage was way over cook and dry and the Bowl of soup was the same lacking flavor...

Delicious rhubarb pie, ice cream and coffee then if you have room try the borscht :) Home cooked meals taste like going to Grandmas house… Great service too. Portions are on the small size for what you pay.

I visited this restaurant about 30 years ago and fell I love with the noodles and cream gravy. Kilke and Schmaudt (sp). So delighted to see the restaurant still here and still just as good as I remember! Nostalgic and delicious. And the new store has so many goodies to take home I had to stop with 1 full box! If you are in Sreinbach this is a MUST STOP!

Fantastic traditional Mennonite food. Everything I've tried here has been great, from massive bowls of chilli to farmer sausage and perogies to the tall club sandwiches. Friendly staff and plenty of small Mennonite town culture.

Great food ... I really liked the omelette and home made jam. The house cut French fries were also cooked to perfection. Extensive menu with lots of meat options for meat lovers. Would definitely go again!

Went for lunch with a buddy of mine. Got the special, which was Turkey poutine. It was decent with the homemade fries. Service was attentive, and prices were fair. My only complaint would be that the food was warm versus hot. I did enjoy that they had a lot for purchase from the bakery and food they made on the premises, I got my girlfriend a carrot cake which looked pretty good!

Top notch delightful experience at MJs! My gal and I enjoyed turkey dinner poutine and a bacon jam cheese deluxe burger. What a delight to dine here with attentive table service. While it was blowing and blustery outside we were greeted with a most warm welcome. Upon entering the establishment, we were transported to a version of Cracker Barrel with various shirts and souvenirs with cute comical Mennonite sayings, among other items of fresh and frozen foods and desserts.

The food is flavorless, simple spices are salt and pepper, but I dont think they even use that. And if youre going to own a restaurant, dont get political. If you would actually like to taste your food, I suggest going somewhere else.

MJ s has been a favorite of mine for years. In the last 20 years I have ordered from, met friends, & made countless stops here until my parents passed away and most recently, my sister. Waffles with white sauce & strawberries were always a favorite. A week ago I ordered enough waffles with sauce for my sister s Celebration of Life (25 people). They were as always, perfect! The staff & owners are amazing & always friendly and helpful. I thank them for adding the best to my numerous stays in Steinbach. Debbie Warkentin, Kenora, Ont and now Victoria BC

I ordered a starter salad and perogies (no meat) My salad came after my perogies and my perogies were cold. So they put them in the microwave and they got all dried up. My husband had a cheeseburger and fries, we both had water to drink and each had a tart. It cost us $I was very disappointed with my food and we were both applauded by the price.

This is classic, ethnic Russian Mennonite food. As such, its home cooked, high quality, high fat food. If this is your ethnicity, you may find some foods very distinctly made as east side of the Red River, as opposed to West.

First, I have to mention how impressed I am with the way they ve handled this last year. They completely pivoted by adding a website with easy online ordering, a store front, and have killed it on social media. Their food is amazing. I recommend the pickerel or their bacon cheeseburger. I m not a burger person and I crave theirs.

Food was bland,not as good as I ve had it in the past .

December 23, 2021

We were having a last minute family dinner and I didnt have time to cook so we decided to support somewhere local. We decided on MJs and were EXTREMELY disappointed! We definitely expected more! First off, we were way overcharged for what we got (and we even gave a generous tip expecting the best-we shouldve looked at what we got first!) We told them to surprise us , and were charged $150 for some fries, chicken strips, small amount of farmer sausage & ham (both severely dry and overcooked) we then got some noodles & sauce and some cottage cheese perogies... The most tasteless dish I have ever had in my life.. the sauce minus well have been a flour sauce it had zero taste at all, we had to put SO much salt on it so it would have some flavor, the perogies were mainly dough, and again- tasteless. for being homemade I definitely expected better. This meal, costed likely under $20 to make.. and we were charged over $120 more to have it cooked? Sad. Dont get me wrong- ill gladly pay $150 for food, however what we got so tasteless, dry, and basic fries and chicken strips... thats not worth $150. We definitely will not be coming back, and they have lost out on potential regular customers of a large family.

I havent had crackles in so long I wept. I am 100% Mennonite descendant and have never been to Steinbach, so we wanted to experience food my family used to make when I was growing up. It was perfect! Great food, service, atmosphere, and price. I would recommend a 1000 xs! And if I am ever back this way Im stopping in again! It was fun to look around the restaurant and see the same are we related? looks back. (Turns out I am in fact related to the lady that started it all). We met the owner/manager (?) through a kind gesture on my husbands part, we should have played the Mennonite Game right then and there lol You can get souvenirs, menno sausage and a few other treats as well. They are kind people with wonderful food, whats not to like!

Ive always enjoyed the food at MJs. Went with my mom last week and was very unhappy to see that no masks or physical distancing were in place. When I inquired as to whether cooks were wearing masks, I was told that no one wears masks because public health doesnt require it. We left. My father is in isolation at a care home with an outbreak (all residents are), and seeing a restaurant not taking precautions to keep their patrons safe is very sad to me. I will not be giving MJs any business until they up their awareness and precautions for the pandemic that is, indeed, in Steinbach too.
