Tina's Breakfast & Lunch in Thunder Bay

Their food menu is amazing and cooked with love. All day breakfast is a plus. Their staff are super friendly and helpful.

The kids pancakes looked and tasted like they were from a premade box. Dry, flat, and hard to cut through. I paid 4.99 to add meat to my breakfast poutine and got maybe a piece of bacon. The value isnt there

Our favourite brunch place. The Nancys omelette or poached eggs are my favs. Their Belgian waffles are excellent too!

Best restaurant for Breakfast and Lunch in Thunder Bay

Great breakfast.....I enjoyed the Finn pancakes w berries, while hubby had eggs, bacon, potato wedges & Finn pancake....Delicious! Coffee was fresh & kept flowing!!

Great place for breakfast! Tried the Jasmine omelette and would recommend.

Great food.. our server was slow at bringing items.. asked for coffee refills when breakfast was served.. refills did not come until we asked multiple times..

Great food. Waitress was very nice.

Had great food. Good attention from the floor staff.

Great steak and eggs

Food was good service was great. But those arent finn pancakes, those are crepes. And no theyre not the same thing. My mom had the recipe from the hoito and she would use it wherever she worked. She then gave it to me before she passed away. I guess Im going to have to try and perfect it now.

Half hour wait for one small meal Sausage way over done Food

It was a bit busy but everything was very orderly. I had to wait for about 5 minutes. It was delicious and recommended.

If I could give a 10 star for service, i would. Second time here and both times Lori was phenomenal. Friendly, even though busy and super efficient. You are lucky to have her as an employee/asset. Food

Awesome

Great service

Tinas is a very quiet place for breakfast to keep you going all day!

Have to have the breakfast poutine (Pou-Tinas) so good

Happy kids great food. Empty plates!

Had an amazing time and Carter our server was great

Carter was an amazing server and we enjoyed our brunch with the family.

Best place for breakfast in Thunder bay. Do not miss its waffles and banana splits.

I quite enjoyed my Fin pancakes. Prices are reasonable and my service was excellent. Its a large room with lots tables and people. Expect the bustle and crowd noise that busy restaurants have. Food : 5/5

If you love breakfast, this is the place to go. Delicious and tasty.

Restaurant seems very popular! Waiting on arrival to get a table. Courteous and fast service. Food very good.

Waiter wasnt at their best

Just landed in Thunder Bay and I was recommended to try out Tina s. I walked in and was immediately seated, and decided on the Steak and Eggs for breakfast. I was initially shocked by how fast it came out, I assumed it probably was sitting under a heat lamp and fully expected it to be dry and bland. Holy smokes I was mistaken!!! I can t believe one of the best steaks I ve had in awhile was at a breakfast/lunch restaurant but it s the truth! I was going to take a photo for the review but I couldn t put my fork down until the steak was gone. The over easy eggs were perfect, and the wedges were great for scooping up the yolk. The staff were super friendly and my server Carter was awesome. The atmosphere felt warm, welcome, and homely. If you haven t been here yet, do yourself a service and make your way over for a bite! Kid-friendliness: Lots of big booths for families, I noticed people have written their names on the bricks which just adds to the friendly, homely atmosphere :)

Great breakfast great service as quickly become one of my favorite places.

All good stuff, thx

Great service but hollindaise sauce did not have any flavour.

Service was slow,(4 minutes to ask what we wanted, other tables came in[less then 2 minutes] and were served quicker)sandwich was hot, potatoes cold. Ham was hot potatoes and eggs were cold.

Exactly what you want in a breakfast place. The food was delicious, and there was plenty of it.

Always a great place to go for breakfast/ brunch. The food is excellent and the prices are very competitive. Service is also very good. This place is usually pretty busy as a result.

Best breakfast in town!

Absolutely delicious!

Fantastic family friendly.

Stopped in for breakfast, the bacon was fried great, the pancakes were fluffy and the atmosphere was convivial and relaxed

Great place for everyones palette. Amazing food and large portions.

Stopped by for breakfast . I was pleasantly surprised by the immediate attention from the host and the waiter. The lady who served was the best, fast, attentive, easy going, positive. Honestly speaking I havent seen such service in Toronto for the last 15 years. They need to go to Thunder Bay for training. Food was good. Everything was clean. Prices very affordable. Thanks

Waited 30 minutes for water because the debit machine wasnt working? Food is okay quality but dont by any means except to be wowed, they also no longer seat more than 6 people in a party?

Fast service good coffee good lighting

Overall a good place for a breakfast date.

Wife and I breakfast. Sausages and scrambled eggs were really over cooked after requesting the eggs be cooked moist. Hollandaise sauce didn t have much flavour. Service however was very good and fast.

Food was soggy even though I arrived at the restaurant before it was finished. Missing things in my order that I paid for. Eggs were unseasoned not sure if they should be but unfortunately didn t enjoy my food . For 48$ i expected more. Kid-friendliness: Servers that I dealt with was rude. She was younger & looked like she was using . Not a place to bring your kids.

Great breakfast spot!

Breakfast tastes so good, I would definitely come back and recommend

Got cold food and when I complained I was told that because I had tried the one half of my breakfast they were only going to fix the other half and remake it. Spoke to manager and was told I was wrong and eventually they replaced both halves of my breakfast. Will not be a returning customer

It is a nice place Tinas.

Nice diner, a bit pricey (what isnt these days?) but good food and coffee.

Its honestly expensive there but well worth the price. We had a young man named Carter waitering on us and was very polite very professional for his age and we had our drinks and food very timely was well worth it and when Im back in the city next Ill definitely be back. Parking: Lots of space and the handicap spot us not far from door Kid-friendliness: Awesome kids menu stuff for them to color Wheelchair accessibility: Couple spots not far from the entrance of the restaurant

Excellent place for breakfast in Thunder Bay. Servers were fantastic, food was delicious (we all had the Finn pancakes).

Good Finn pancakes.

Great place to go. The only thing is that most of the times there will be a line, but they have comfortable seating for 15 to 20 people waiting. In my opinion, they have fresh take on breakfast when you go youll see what I mean.

If I could give it zeros I would I moved here recently and just tried it for the first time. The waitress came to us quickly and took out order. Then my meal came out but my boyfriend s meal did not. She went back to punch his order in and mine stayed at the table. Once his finally came, there was raw meat in his meat poutine. We asked if we could have his remade with no sausage (the only raw meat). I watched the chef pick out the raw meat with bare hands, moving through the plate/poutine and then cook the sausage and put it back into the same plate. This is a health hazard as you contaminated the cooked food with raw meat and then refused to remake it and put cooked meat in the already contaminated food. My meal became cold by the time his meal was served properly. I mentioned that at this point my food is now cold and the waitress responded with well it was served hot I am sitting down at a restaurant so we can eat at the same time but we re being served at different times. I asked to speak to a manager or Tina 4 times but Tina refused to come speak to us. I am so upset with the horrible service from the owner and kitchen staff. I think it s unprofessional that as an owner you won t address your customers concerns.

There was MOLD on the fruits on both of my and my wife s dishes. I asked to change the dish they just changes the fruit that has mold on it. I could still see the mold spots on my dish touching my english muffins. We asked to talk to supervisor or manager and she ( I guess the owner) came with a very unprofessional manner telling us ok the mold is removed and the rest of your food is clean!!! She obviously doesn t have any knowledge about the molds and its micro-scale distribution. Also she mentioned that: OK your bill is 45$ you can pay 41$ !!! I wasn t looking for 3$ or any discount. Your behavior, your response to how to deal with the issue and the way you just changed that piece of food was 0 out of 100. Also, it was our first visit here and we were observing the environment for the first time and wanted to make conversation with the front counter that I heard she said move on guys follow her. What a nice welcome! Even if everything was ok the food (egg Benedict and omelet was not a wow maybe a 3/10) Running a restaurant requires some skills that I haven t found in this place. I don t know how they got such a rating throughout the time. Not recommended.

Service is great!

Loved the breakfast!!

Gotta love the ingenuity of hiding the broken egg under the toast. I definitely didnt notice. Processed potato wedges instead of real potatoes is a questionable choice. All and all a pass for me. Food : 3/5

The perfect place for breakfast with the family..

Wow! How come I didnt know about this place before!

Service was fast and staff were friendly

Staff very friendly. Can be very busy so be prepared to wait sometimes.

Good food and ecomonical

So we went there on a Sunday morning and obvs it was busy ,not a good place to go with a group larger than 5, we waited a long time for them to put some tables together and the hostess kept telling us almost ready for like 30+ min. Ive had the food here before it was good but place is just so busy weekends for brunch

My only complaint is that my eggs were raw. Everything else was great.

Love the Finnish pancakes! Price is very reasonable and the food portion is decent. Our waitress was also very nice and refilled our coffee often. Definitely 5 stars :)

Not as good as the reviews said it would be. Staff wasnt exactly friendly, service was slow and the food was not great. I had burnt runny eggs?? The Coffee was like dishwater. Would not recommend.

Awesome place for breakfast good service .great food ..highly recommended

Great place, great food. Excellent service

Great place. Friendly staff on the ball. Food was great. Huge portions.

Best place to eat at!

Terrible experience. French toast dipped on one side and fried until dry and hard. The other meal had burned toast, I mean black. All that for $30. Waitress seemed disinterested to our terrible meals. Wont see us again.

Delicious place to enjoy breakfast away from home!

A great place for breakfast and lunch

The food wasnt great. But it eas edible. The fruit presentation was gray, it had no life. My omelette tasted slimy from the cheese used or grease? Not sure but it wasnt a great texture to chew on. Waitress seemed busy and I think I want to say we waited 20 minutes for our bill and another 5 before we were able to pay. The atmosphere was awesome though. Ill likely avoid this place for a while. The cost was outrageous for two plates. You have to make the $$ to eat here. $40+tip

We liked eating there before, our food was good. Now for some reason, the food gave us really bad stomach aches.

Ive seen and heard the way this woman runs her business and how she treats her staff, and its absolutely appalling. She belittles staff, garnishes wages for HER benefit and straight up breaks the law. Do not go here and support this woman.

Fanatics experience. Took my mother inlaw and her girl friends for brunch. Very enjoyable. I dont know my servers name but she was fantastic and gave in to the whims of old broads. Thank you so much for dealing with the whims of us old girls with grace. Will be back again .

I can say its one of the best breakfast eateries in town. I will definitely make another trip there.

I was admittedly hoping for better e.g. home fries were Cavendish farms wedges, ordered at 9a and couldnt get the early bird because it stops at 9a. Friendly staff, food came quickly, fruit was meh. Kid-friendliness: Decent kids menu and kids portion sizes

Friendly service, decent price, lots of options, and the food was ok

I dont normally leave reviews, but good golly I had too. We are on our way home from our vacation in Thunder Bay and this is the best food we have had our whole stay! We split the breakfast putine and banana split waffle and it was perfection. Thank you for this wonderful send off. The service was crazy fast too. Love it! Tens, tens, tens across the board.

the food was ok but avoid the sausage links at all costs. gross Im not sure why this place was so busy. maybe just the only game in town? I guess one great thing is that they didnt forget any of our order!

Ordered the Finn Berry, was delicious! Restaurant staff was friendly and attentive. Atmosphere was warm.

It was very busy, (always a good sign!), and we had a short wait. Staff were friendly, with quick service. The food was great and reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend!!!

Food is good, service is slow. Restaurant is a bit tired.

Went there on holidays and enjoyed it great food and service.

Very good

Normally my go to breakfast spot but this time it didn t hit right, eggs were gross, bacon tasted like rubber, place is freezing. Might be time to find another breaky spot

Kid-friendliness: Very nice kids menu with great activities Food

The food was ok. All of those at our table thought their meal was a bit bland, but not necessarily bad. My Belgian was, well, a waffle, but both of my lunch mates thought their omelets were ok, but made without any seasoning. (Without any love, was one quote) The service was great, the prices were good, and the atmosphere was pleasant enough. Would we go there again? Maybe, but I wouldnt go out of my way to go there.

Tina is nice. Average and basic breakfast but delicious the location is very accessible and the staff are nice and friendly. Would be back in Tinas again. Food

Awful breakfast food ... they served me overcooked eggs, fries instead of anything resembling hashbrowns, spam, unbuttered toast ... and the woman managing the place was an absolutely nasty rude acting individual. Never again.

Ok..

Being tourist we decided we had to try Finnish pancakes and Tinas was highly rated. Everything - pancakes, eggs, bacon and coffee was perfect! We highly recommend Tinas. Service was attentive, clean bathrooms, excellent food.

Delicious! Nice variety on the menu, very reasonable prices, and the food is obviously fresh. Vegetarian options: Depends on how strict you are on the spectrum, very vegetarian friendly but not so much vegan. Kid-friendliness: Anywhere with an ample breakfast menu is always kid-friendly

I was in Thunder Bay on business a few weeks ago. Some colleagues suggested we meet at Tinas Breakfast and Lunch for breakfast. It turned out to be a great place. Portions were large and well prepared. I had ham, eggs over easy and rye toast. The ham was very good and there was a lot of it. The potatoes were very tasty and the eggs were just right. Our server was attentive and the coffee was decent. If you want breakfast in Thunder Bay, I highly recommend Tinas.

My wife and I ate here on a date. They have a nice and cozy atmosphere. The food was incredible and the service was prompt.

I havent had much fun in my life while having breakfast. Great atmosphere and so many dishes to eat for breakfast.

They have very fast breakfast. The food is decent. It was very busy when we were there.

Cant go wrong getting breakfast here!

Had the garden patch omelette. Found it a bit tasteless. My wife had a Brandons breakfast. It was plentiful and well cooked. Easy to share. It was nice to have all day breakfast available. Dietary restrictions: Was nice to have a plausibly keto meal available.

Friendly little Cafe/diner that hit the spot for breakfast! Sausage links were so good!!

It s always a very busy place but they are quick with their service! Have always enjoyed eating there

Great breakfast

Great food, huge portions get your moneys worth. Recommend breakfast

Breakfast was hot and amazing!

Restaurant was clean and servers were pleasant and helpful with questions. Food was hot and fresh. There was lots of parking right next to the building. Food

Very good breakfast and very good nice servers and I really love the restaurant I love the service and food its very good place to eat

We went for breakfast on our vacation. Food is amazing but no one ever came back to our table to ask us how everything was, if we needed anything else. One of our party had coffee and we saw someone walking around to every other table offering to refill their coffee cups but never our table. Very disappointed in service

Very delicious food and very good service and very comfortable place

Nice service, quality rather mediocre, price ok.

Good food. Good service.

a little slow but given the rush. Food was amazing.

Bland tasting food... undercooked ,rude servers. Will not be back here...plenty of choices in T-Bay

Dining experience in a big and busy atmosphere. Not amazing food or service. Too busy and medium range food quality. Not bad to experience once!

The best breakfast in Thunder Bay. The food is delicious and the service is great.

Excellent breakfast at a fair price and good service.

Small but cute eatery. Dogs are allowed with well behaved owners on the patio at the front of coffee . I found vegan option in their menu Very nice ! They were open for Canada day . That was a pleasant and fulfilling lunch stop between two hiking routes.

I tried a new item on the menu and I did not attempt more than a bite since i didnt like it. In the past when this has happened at restaurants, I have either been givin a replacement of said food or a refund with sincere apologies. I asked for either of these options at Tinas. I got turned down. The prices are high enough, a replacement offer would have been the realistic while considerate idea. They didnt loose any money so why did I need to be treated like that? Wont be returning . I am upset over this experience for how expensive prices are already.

It was good and fairly priced. It was normal breakfast food (which is what I like!). The bacon was crispy, the sausages were good. I think one plate was ~ $11, which might be on the lower end for breakfast which is great! Just really solid

Good service we went there 20 mins before it closed and they still served us i shall return thank you

Great food!

Great breakfast and service at a fair price!

Quick service, hot food and beautiful restaurant!

Service had us seated quickly and they attended to our table the right amount of times. Food was still hot when it came to our table. Coffee had strange after taste, sausages were mushy on inside. Potato wedges which I guess were their version of home fries were bland and the ketchup tasted more like a tomato paste than ketchup. *edit. Went back again. Coffee tasted great this time. Still weird they serve potato wedges for breakfast. Still need to serve Hienz ketchup, the stuff they have has a very strong vinegar taste. All in all it was enjoyable.

The far side of the restaurant smells. They changed the potatoes to seasoned wedges also there breakfast poutine you have to pay $399 to add meat to.

Pretty average breakfast spot. Nothing really to complain about. Eggs were well cooked. My partner had the banana split waffle and apparently that was really good. Service was fast but our waitress was a bit stunned; that didn t take away from the food though. Good spot for a quick bite.

Best place in the city for an early-bird special. Servers are attentive and friendly.

Good

Great spot for breakfast

Good menu but a bit pricy

Great food and good service but a bit pricey.

Food at breakfast was good quality. Served warm and came fast Very busy place . Get there early to avoid the line ups. People in the Line waiting and thats with ample of seating space, speaks volumes about there service and food !!!

Delicious breakfast, friendly service!

Busy spot, but very quick service and friendly staff.

Awesome breakfast at reasonable prices. Was a wait to be seated but well worth the wait.

Awesome service and food!

Best Breakfast place in town. Love it

They have Finnish pancakes stuffed with Nutella and fruit! Delicious! My husband enjoyed his veggie omelet and the service was excellent. They have a large space but the booths make it feel very comfortable.

Good food, great service.

This place was banging. People, laughter, food. Our server was Jasmine, but, everyone was friendly. The food was the best Breakfast we had since visiting Canada. We came down 9/25 to Shuniah, we found this spot 10/2 near our hotel. Finally eggs cooked right and SEASONED potatoes. My steak was seasoned perfect and cooked exactly right. No chewy/tough meat....NO WAY!!!! I cleaned my plate and that is NOT usual for me. Sometimes i only take food home to not be rude if it wasnt the greatest. Go there...yes.......they close at 2pm. Hurry up

It really hard to pick one dish! Definitely going back.

A very solid spot for breakfast/brunch/lunch! Great options and quality food. Parking: Parking lot makes it look busier than it really is. Recommended dishes

Great service and food.

The fruits were brown, the water tasted bad, and steak was very thin. Super surprised about the food quality.

Great food Good value Great service

Great food!! 9/10

Parking: good parking area Kid-friendliness: good selection for kids

I enjoyed their omelette very much. It was filling too.

I liked the food. The service was good aswell. The menu isnt very big but one can find something to eat on it. Would go again. Wheelchair accessibility: There was tables wheel chair friendly.

I enjoyed the place, service was good and friendly. I ordered steak and eggs. Asked for steak to be medium rare and eggs over easy, one egg was good the second the yolk was hard. My stead had no pink whatever so wasnt medium rare. I ate everything except for the one egg. Stark was still good but when im paying for my meal I expect to be as asked for.

Went towards closing time.

Bustling breakfast location with plenty of great options. Service and food was really good and I would return.

It was mostly ok. The server was very nice, the home fries were delicious. The eggs benny sauce would have been better with more flavour. It was quite bland. Otherwise, was good.
