Delicious food, great service in a beautiful little town. Perfect place for a bit to eat in brigus. Fish and chips were very good and crisp. The macaroni and cheese was pretty good, just on the blander side.

Excellent! Wonderful spot for lunch or dinner. Friendly staff and great food. Pan fried cod was great prepared well. Generous portions. Our group ordered chowder, fish & chips, big Brigus, onion rings, burger, tacos and fish cakes. The restaurant was packed, which meant slower service, but we expected that from the start. Well staffed. Don’t leave without trying the crumble with a Jumping Bean coffee. Nothing here is going to blow your mind, just really good food with generous portions surrounded by the most wonderful people, and in a picturesque town to boot.

We enjoyed a fabulous dinner here, before checking out the quaint village of Brigus. Parking was easy, right across the street. Service was very quick, and very friendly. I had the pan fried cod with mashed potatoes and vegetables. It was the best cod I had during my entire vacation in Newfoundland. I can highly recommend it.

Dropped in for early dinner. We had onion rings for an appetizer (they were the size of donuts, and delicious). We also had chicken tenders, chicken burger, and deep fried fish, all with fries dressing and gravy. We were stuffed and couldn’t even think of having dessert. All the food was great, fast and friendly service. Highly recommend if you’re in the area.

Warm and laid back atmosphere, trendy decor, and great food! Would definitely dine here again if I had longer in the Brigus area. The beet salad was delicious, but not a meal size unless you add some meat or a side dish. Fish and chips was a hit amongst our group. Fish tacos and grilled cod also looked good.
