Reviews of St Dave's Diner (Restaurant)

Olivia Macdougall

My boyfriend brought me here for breakfast the first time I went to Lindsay, knowing that I loved small town diners. St Daves did not disapoint. Friendly, quick, service and great food, can't wait to go again.

Wayne Black

Autumn Swan

Friendly servers, good food

Teresa Jordan

Great ham

John Bianco

Buffet for 2 adults and 1 child, 2 coffee, 1 chocolate milk, 1 small OJ, 1 large OJ.... $54.33. Food quality was OK, nothing amazing or stand out, selection average, owner was stalking back and forth from hot table with clipboard keeping stations filled. Son asked for a glass of water that never arrived, but was argued about between staff as it was sitting at the counter and not delivered anywhere. Most staff seemed unhappy and disorganized as the tone of restaurant was less than welcoming. This visit was much before the busiest point of the morning with several tables available throughout the restaurant. Bright spot was the person on the register who was cheery. Will not return.

David Spencer

Mom & I decided to give St. Dave's a try.. was not disappointed! Apple smoked BBQ chicken was awesome. Mom was very pleased with her Lasagna Soup and Rib Special. Service was excellent. Fun host!

Dave Dollimore

Food was good, didnt like the paper under it on my plate. Small detail price was good lots of room

Willow Dow

Good food and friendly staff.

Tess Muin

Food was delicious, the service was excellent and the place was hopping! Even though there were so many people there the flow was great and the atmosphere was still cozy and quiet at our table for such a large and airy place. We will definitely be back very soon!

Quinn Wilson

Great little diner

Matthew Johnson

Stood in the doorway for over 25 mins. Place was packed and no one addressed us to offer a timeline to be seated. We just left and went somewhere else. I'm sure the place is really good seeing as it was so busy but I can't offer anything more if I can't get a seat.

Amanda Bastin

Went here for lunch almost every day for a week as I was in the area on work, I also live close by so I've been here for breakfast a few times as well. The food is amazing and the prices are so reasonable, the owner is very friendly, service is quick and the servers I had were wonderful and very attentive. This is a small business so I would definitley say it's worth it to go here rather than spend your money at smitty's or egg smart. Thank you to all the staff for being amazing everytime I've been here!

Lloyd Lapp

Best ftezkin toasted western in town.

Mike Merker

Best breakfast in Lindsay. Super awesome buffet on long weekends. Very friendly staff. Reasonable prices.

T. T.

Very good. Not cheap. Clean diner.

Fast, delicious, great friendly service! Great for families. (and try the "Bubba's Bennies": poached eggs on grilled cornbread with BBQ pulled pork -- REAL BBQ, or the "Kitchen Sink Hash"!)

fink einhorn

Great breakfast!

Canadiana North

I have been here a few times, and it is my staple breakfast location in Lindsay. I enjoy going during the week to avoid the breakfast buffet, and the service is effective and quick even when they're really busy. Definitely something to check out when in the Lindsay area, and a great local restaurant.

James Mccabe

Great food you won.t be disappointed

Darlene Plewes

Been going to St Dave's for years and they have never disappointed us. And they are very big on families. I love the liver and onions. And they have a very good menu.

Melodie Messina

Amazing as always. Top notch food, service & staff. Never leave hungry. The breakfast ham is superb, not the salt lick style you get at other places, this is from a real ham roast, yum! I get 'The Triple' everytime (pictured below) , collectively we've tried the breakfast bowl, veggie omelette, pulled pork omelette fruit cup(yes it's fresh) and eggs Benedict, with nothing but dancing tastebuds and a full belly!

Joshua Kubinec

Service has been good, prices are fair and food is decent.

Phil Short

For $13.50 (if you make it in time) you can enjoy the breakfast buffet. It was a little pricey for what we actually were able to consume. I'll go will a breakfast meal off the menu next time. Overall, great experience.

List With Amy

AWESOME....Today was our first time trying the long weekend buffet. The food was fantastic and the customer service was outstanding. Options included: eggs, bacon, sausage, home fries, taters, pemeal, ham, pancakes, waffles, biscuits, fresh fruit and more! We will DEFINITELY be back!

Helen Price

Always a pleasure visiting St Dave's....friendly service and the best Western omlettet you ever tasted....and the pancakes are always a delight

Mark Stevens

Great food and good service. Can't beat a St. Dave's breakfast.

Bernard Boileau

Yummy !

Jason Williams

St. Dave's Dinner is a standard dinner, the exceptions are the amazing staff & the fact that everything on the menu looks delicious. I had the Dagwood platter & it was a delicious & filling meal. I can't wait to bring more of my family & friends to dine there. If you are ever in Lindsay bring your appetite to St. Dave's Dinner & you too can have a great meal. Cheers!!!

brenttara

The soups are to die for and I am not a soup guy. Busy place but worth it.

Rhona

My husband and I were in the lindsay area and decided to stop by St. Dave's Diner for lunch. SO Good!! Friendly staff, awesome food! We had the smoked beef brisket and Texas burger! Our go to spot now!

Andrea Johnston

We were treated to breakfast at this gem of a place a few months back. It’s so memorable that I was reminded today that I still need to write a review!! We hardly waited for a table, on a busy Sunday morning in the beginning of summer: no easy feat for our party of 10. We had kiddies, seniors, people on carb-restricted diets and some pretty picky eaters too (ok, mostly the kids!) but everyone found something delicious on the menu to enjoy. Prices were extremely reasonable and the atmosphere was everything you could expect from a locally-owned, busy diner. Although our waitress was attentive, albeit busy, it did not go unnoticed that the owner was also whirling around, refilling coffee and clearing plates, as needed. Any business owner who works that hard and is willing to get their hands dirty with the grunt work, is someone I’m thrilled to support with my patronage/dollars. We live out of town, but will be dreaming of our next visit to family’s house in the area so we can head over to St. Dave’s Diner once again.

Jenna Bella Expectation Vs Reality

Great breakfast!

Halie Hood

We love going to st Dave's for breakfast! We've never had a bad experience here.

G Majer

Great

Tracy Skates

Great food

David Wiseman

Ordered the Cheese Steak Supreme. Lukewarm, soggy fries and dry steak led to a disappointing experience. Will not return. Staff was pleasant, though. My response to the individual that replied to this review 16Jun2021. Unless there is another St. Dave's Diner across the street from the "Lindsay Stop" Esso station in Lindsay ON then I absolutely "have the correct diner". Moreover, your reply is a definite red-herring intended to gaslight.

K Howard-Kowalchuk

YUM!! Stopped in today for a take-out lunch and we had the best diner food we've had in a long time. Friendly staff and really tasty food. Killer handmade burger and philly steak sandwich. And they actually have sweet potato fries!! We live 40min away in Bobcaygeon and we'll be making the drive to this place for diner cravings. Worth it! (I'd share a photo but we ate it all too fast to pause for the camera lol)

Tracy Sorrill

Cheery atmosphere, price and portion size of meals are very reasonable. Will be back ☺️

Bruce VanBeek

Well Dave's just go

Tim Goodman

Delicious food and friendly staff. Food comes out quick and hot - cooked to perfection. Give the Breakfast Hash a try! - you wont be disappointed. Price is reasonable, and the amount of food is substantial. Great place for a breakfast after a great night at the bars.

Karin Scott

Great food fast service many menu options - really reasonably priced menu

Shirley Shea

The meal was very good taste food. The amount was so much I had to take half home theres no way I could eat that much food in one time. Services top of the lind my hats off to chef. People theres place wow you ll enjoy all but traffic foods worth noise I guess keep going back same every time grate foodx humble services

Don MacM

Nice private run restaurant. Buffet was hot and tasty..Service was friendly but not intrusive

Philip J

Great food and service!

Jessica Gale

Food is always amazing not always happy with certain servers we have encountered but the food is always amazing

R Parsons

Great

Jason

Went for breakfast, great price and great portions, and I could substitute potatoes for fruit which is a big plus for me, highly recommend

Rick Gorrill

Amazing service and never have a complaint. The dinner buffet is a great touch and being able to see the menu in advance makes planning dinner out easy!

Victoria Carlson

Best breakfast place in Lindsay. They have an extensive menu that will satisfy everyone's breakfast cravings. I like that they offer a mix of traditional breakfast items and more niche items like potato rostis, or pulled pork hash. Great for a big or small group, and they are very kid/baby friendly.

Angie Godbout

Great casual place. Has recently burnt to the ground. Hope they plan to rebuild. Lindsay needs them

Sam Smith

Food was great, the price was right and the Service was bar none. Can't wait for the liver and onions in Sept Jason!

Patricia Smith

????????????????????

Anna Perry

Amazing food and amazing service. They treat you like family and make sure that you enjoy the entire service experience ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Sean

Best breakfast in town

Katie Padley

Went here on a whim on the way to the cottage. What an amazing find! Friendly staff, nice atmosphere, and the food is delish! I had the veggie omlete and I think that's probably the best omlete I've ever had! My guests had the pulled pork omlete (which lives up to that name- lots of pulled pork) and a bacon and eggs breakfast- big portions at a good price! I'll be stopping by again on my way home for sure

Mike Hykawy

I am very sorry to say it was the worst experience I have had in a long time. There was no A/C on Saturday evening so it was so hot in there all the dessert was melting. And not even in any ice or covered to protect it from being coughed on etc. The waitress was rude, I heard after I paid for my dinner from another person in my party that she made faces and was waving her arms around like I was an idiot. For the price I paid and for the treatment we received next time we will go across the street to Timmy's in the gas station, to get better service . I will never step foot in there again for dinner until some one apologises and also some kind of refund. I was in there with 5 other people and they all said the same thing. And my bill was $80+ for heat exhaustion and disrespect.

Kyra Boyd

Great burgers. The staff are very friendly to seniors and children. Portions are perfect for any age.

Jonathan Petrie

Always great food with staff that treat you like family

Julie Ann Gil

Covid restrictions are one thing but at St. Dave's Dinner, they are a sullen bunch. I won't be going back. The food is average, atmosphere is cold. The coffee is terrible.

Alex Bruene

Fantastic breakfast. Great gluten free options. Friendly service.

david douglas

Great food

LokisWolf

Really good food, can't be beat for breakfast.

David Bozzo

Friendly and helpful staff. Great food

Pat Lynch

This place is amazing! New specials every week! Very creative. The staff is the best and they will accommodate any group... Even a 20 person wedding party! Thanks Dave!

Megan Dearie

Just went here for the first time and it was great. Food was reasonably priced and very tasty. Servers were friendly and efficient. I was impressed with how well they sanitized their tables and had the tables socially distanced. A very nice experience and we will return.

Joefrom TO

Great food, the BBQ was excellent. My family will definitely be back.

Brian Davidson

NEVER have I been disappointed here! Try the soups. Hearty.

Lorraine Maloney

Sean Bryan

Delicious food and great service

Melissa M

Was sat by a window with a terrible draft. Food was ediable, at best and slow. Busy place.

Manny Taylor

Quick service! Good food!

Mike Hudec

The perfect diner for home-cooked breakfast, brunch or lunch. Food is excellent. Very friendly atmosphere. Five star food and service.

todd jeffries

I had heard about the all you can eat buffet there, on holidays and long weekends, but it was so much better than I ever imagined, all sorts of breakfast, bbq and dessert stuff, crazy variety, good service even though it was rammed. YOU MUST TRY this place. 2 seniors, 1 adult, buffet with coffees was around $43 without tip, well worth it.

Phil theVwGuru

St Dave's has awesome food for a reasonable price.

Bruce Gliddon

You get large portions of food here at a good price. Friendly and helpful staff make it a pleasurable meal. The only caveat you should be aware of is the place closes at 2 in the afternoon. This place is for the early birds. Bon appetit.

Lynne Kennette - Professor of Psychology

The food is good, but just didn't seem as fresh as on previous visits.

maggie wells

Amazing service Clean restaurant exellent food This place was exellent first time there

Greg S

Food and service are both awesome!

S Snider

Very busy place, I can’t understand why… the food was disgusting and cold. Waited 30 minutes to even be spoken to to have a seat… Ordered the chicken club, bread was burnt and so over toasted it crumbled into pieces when picked it up. The fries were cold and tasteless.. This place went downhill…… I won’t be sending in a resume Jason;)

Sean Seebransingh

Oh my gosh! We were out and about, was hungry and decided to stop by this diner for the first time... what a diamond in the rough! Excellent food, great service! This is the place to go to... Come support them, you won't be dissapointed ! Our new spot!

Dale Chilvers

Great food and service

Miali Koski

Delicious!

Symon Sez

Great place for breakfast..

T Mitchell

Love it here. Owners are the nicest people. Food is fantastic.

Dean Perlmutter

Saved us from starving in Lindsay. Hood Greek salad. Or was it a Cobb? Not sure...

Renee Reeves

Excellent service and family style food.

Teresa Thoburn

Good food and service as always

Leslie Dobson

Love the food. Freshly made

Rory Smeall

Great Food! One of the best places in town. Highly recommend.

Nicole Ryan Lauzon

We went for the dinner buffet .. it’s by far the best buffet I’ve ever had .. I’d pick this over kings ANYDAY !! Very clean with lots of options .. staff were very friendly and fast with clearing our plates .. it wasn’t overly busy when we went .. so it was perfect ! Cannot wait to go back !

Brandon Wood

A TRUE homemade burger and fries. Everything was fresh. The fries were cut in-house and the burger was cooked perfectly. You can’t overlook it cost less than a meal from most fast food places.

Shannon Molloy

Food is good and I have always enjoy my meal every time I have went here. Our waitress was very nice but so, so busy. They needed more help forsure either on the floor or a full time person working the cash. It would truly help out on the service end of things. Feb 19th, I have been in a few more times and the service is getting much better!

David Horwood

I really like St. Dave's diner, my first impression was from a few months ago when I stopped here for brunch. The breakfast was top notch. The only reason I am not giving 5 stars is that on my second visit the table next to me was seated after us but served first. They had ordered burgers (different burger than myself) but were served first. Also my burger and fries were a bit over done. I know these are small things, but they add up to one star short of 5. I will definitely be a returning customer and give the opportunity to get that 5th star. Cheers.

Maggie Quick

Amazing club sandwiches ! A table for 8 ready in a few minutes, great service, super friendly and helpful.

Linda Brown

Fabulous food!! Amazing service!!

Robyn Smith

Great food would highly recommend this place

Kendra Hedley

Best place to have breakfast in this town to die for

Lynzee B

Friendly staff but not the coziest atmosphere, a little cafeteria-like. Had the dinner buffet and food was not bad but not as good as I had expected which was a bit disappointing. Overall I don't think it's worth the buffet price because the food was a little bland and boring for my taste but I'm sure it may suit other tastes just fine and I do appreciate that a lot of food is made in house.

R H

Great food, but careful if the place is already full, service will have to be slow

Adnan Rampurwala

Nice good

Michelle Burgess

Breakfast was amazing

Hallie Chambers

Nice place to eat breakfast and the servers are friendly! The coffee was great! Def go there again for my next visit

Hazen Dart

Has to be my favorite place to eat and I love Mom and Pop shops. Dave himself has to be one of the kindest men I have ever met and for what they have been through to hold that kindness is a wonder in it self. 100% best place to eat.

Poppa Ed

Incredible staff, great food a family favorite

Bubba Buey

I was quite impressed. Both wife and I enjoyed our breakfast, portions were well worth it. Will definitely come back!

Moose on the Loose

Super tasty breakfasts place not the healthiest but definitely the tastiest.

Brian W

First visit, Sunday brunch buffet late morning. Busy but were seated quickly. Buffet is reasonably priced and offers lots of options. Food quality was very good and all items were resupplied quickly. Server was gruff and brisk but not unfriendly. Would definitely recommend and will return.

Anthony Chessman

Great

Marty Aavik

Wonderful old-school diner with friendly atmosphere and great food. I had one of the best brisket sandwiches I'd tasted in a long time!

Lori Trudel

First visit today and fast friendly service. Great menu lots to choose from and hot fresh food. Reasonable prices too.

Sabrina Motease

Food isn't too bad. Pretty busy for breakfast in the mornings on the weekend. In the summertime there was too many flies inside. Got annoying. The buffet they offer is too expensive for what they serve IMO.

clarence keenan

Friendly quality local resteraunt great breakfast

Stormie Wayling

Good Food ...Great service..

Carol Popp

Great food.

Tory

Amazing local food.

Ben van Noppen

Stumbled on St. Dave a couple of weeks ago when I was in the Lindsay area. Loved it so much came back a week later, an hour drive from my house! Haven't tried the the buffet yet, next time for sure. But ordered from the menu and the portions are substantial and very well priced. A very enjoyable atmosphere with bantering between the regulars and staff, makes you feel right at home.

David Kiezebrink

Great food, great price, friendly service

Raw Pet Food Ontario

We had a delicious breakfast here. Really good pancakes! This restaurant is very clean. Service was great too!

Jim Mccleary

Slow at times

Mikel Martin

Horrendous, rude service. Didn’t allow a well behaved dog to be sat next to us on the patio which was far away from the other tables. That’s a misinterpretation of the law. You won’t get our service.

Robert Larmer

Always busy but absolutely worth the wait. Food is always great & reasonably priced. Wait staff is friendly and accommodating. Has become a weekly tradition for our family to visit for lunch.

Glenda Dobbs

Best service ever. The food was excellent

Jacob Magee

The best place for breakfast in lindsay

ddsmarine

Best breakfast buffet around. Opens at 8am on Sundays. Get there at 8am as it packs up fast.

Bill McNamee

Best omelet and great friendly service

Jim P

Always friendly staff and best breakfast in Lindsay!

Suzette Seveny

I'm not sure how long they've been re-opened but we appreciated the spacing between tables and the staff wearing face coverings. We ended up getting our own menus because the server was busy but the food was really good. The coffee was another story.... neither one of us could drink it - it was watery - weak and tasteless.

Scott Ellison

Great service Even better food

Tom Harnest

Odd assortment of buffet food, cottage country food if u like that kinda stuff

Joyce Knight

Good food and great service

Nora Vallins

Found this place as a "Port in a Storm" literally, only place in Lindsay with hydro and open! What a pleasure to in fact find friendly staff and great food in buffet format ready and waiting even though they were very close to closing and definitely past last seating!! Fabulous and thank you we will be back!

Randy Flint

Went there for breakfast very good. Great service good size portions. Very clean. Probably the best place in Lindsay to go for breakfast for the price.

Robert Sweet

Had the special hash with eggs over easy and rye toast and it was incredibly delicious. The service was above par as the staff were super friendly and helpful. I will definitely be going back for more.

Paige Towle

Coming from a regular who has been going to St. Daves since I was 12 years old, I will not be returning again. The staff are unrecognizable and rude. The food is awful compared to what it used to be. This once rare breakfast find has become satisfactory at best.

Kyle Hussey

Best place in town from breakfast to BBQ. AAA+

MomingWithADHD

We order for delivery and our food has always arrived hot and delicious, during these times a delivery service was just what we needed and honestly saint Dave’s has the best breakfast so I definitely recommend going

Rude waitress. Ordered a summer chicken wrap and it was so dry it kept falling apart at every attempt to eat it, told the waitress and she rolled her eyes at me and walked away. Fries were room tempature but the gravy was good.

I am sorry to see all these good reviews, had a cheese burger and fries with gravy over the weekend and the burger was complete crap not sure if is meat at all?????? then processed cheese was used, the fries were still hard and undercooked and the gravy well no words defiantly powdered gravy, people said try breakfast doubt that I will. Would not recommend this place unless your in the mood for low grad crap food.

Great experience. Great service. Ordered the crab cake benny's, no hollandaise sauce at all for any eggs Benedict it was a cheese sauce, Ordered the hash brown casserole and was served fries instead and I still had to pay for the casserole. Other than that it was good. We will go back and try again.

Michelle Nurse

Just had breakfast and was terribly disappointed. We have been there many times however the last few times have been less than satisfactory. Today however was really bad. The waitress was rude, our food was cold, and we weren’t even offered a refill on coffee. Unfortunately this ends our relationship with this establishment. ????

Michael James

Great food and service

Food was great. Service even better. Little of a wait but well worth it. One suggestion, loose the paper under your food. Melts and mixes with food. I took mine out, from experience.

Good price, large portions and a wide selection on the menu. Staff and atmosphere are amazing!

Slow service at a not busy time of day. French toast was cold, didn't complain or send back as it took so long to get it after ordering. Others at the table ordered egg selections no complaints. Food was good but not great. Good value. Coffee was awful and had to ask for refills.

Disgruntled Customer

I had a very disappointing experience at Dave's Diner today. The waitress brought 10 meals to the table for 9 customers. The waitress was very pleasant and I have no complaints against her. What disappointed me was the fact that the owner of the restaurant felt it necessary to approach my colleague and me to question us about this extra meal. Was it really necessary to center us out in this way?

Lisa St.peter

Very busy place. Must mean something.. service was friendly and quick. Food was excellent, very impressed.

Marisa Gadziola

Delish food very affordable clean nice atmosphere

David S

They put out some good food!

tom jordan

First time there ... great dinner ... real mashed potatoes, real roast beef ... good price ... hard to find these days ... I will be back

Paul Mark

Busy but always awesome food

Rick Lusted

Place was half 3/4 empty because of covid. Owner and two waitresses looking after about 15 people. Waited 50 minutes for breakfast and no offers of coffee in the meantime

Ryan Down

This place is phenomenal. My guess is it’s a family owned diner. My two experiences we’re both amazing. The food is so good, great price and the staff are so friendly. They are very efficient are don’t have to wait long for your food. The owner is a great guy along with his daughter who also serves there. I highly recommend this place.

mircea budaca

Always a great place.. all you can eat eat buffet or from the menu .. all good

Jennifer Wardlaw

Home cooking friendly staff clean and cheap

Linda Jeffrey

Editing my original post. Disappointed in the food during last few visits. First I thought something was off, my time of day, busy, or new cook, but it continues. Simple scrambled eggs flavorless and rubbery, sausage under cooked and orange juice tasted watered down. Will only do lunch in the future. Awesome food, large portions, friendly staff, but sometimes hard to get a seat or parking.

Kathy Baker

Awesome breakfast

Jason Diamond

Great food and service!

Brian & Carole Dubniczky

Owner was very rude. Soup was barely warm though 3 of us asked waitress to make sure it was hot. She claimed to burn herself it was so hot lol. It was inedible and when owner was told it wasnt very hot he was extremely rude. Will never go back there again.

Duncan Munro

Great breakfast.

Sandra Malcolm

Good assortment of food in the buffet

Margie Goble

My bacon and eggs were swimming in grease. I was sick 15 min. later. Had to wait along time. Wasn't very busy. Was told they were just getting back into routine after covid. What does that have to do with cooking food.Has gone down hill. The waitress was great.

Cyndy Tengesdal

Extremely good food. Excellent staff. Reasonably priced

Ronald Macdonald

Good service good food lots parking

John Mandl

My absolute favorite place. Great food, great service and staff. Every person from the cashiers, servers and Dave himself treats you like royalty.

Sam Lateran

I would never eat at this place again. Not because of the food, and not because of the service but only for the fact of how the owners treat their employee's. The employee's are shown no respect, talked about behind their back and treated terrible in general. The owners of this place make their profits on backs of the staff that work there and treat them like slaves. The labour board had to step in just so the waitresses could get breaks. Help the workers and choose somewhere else to eat and show these owners / bullies that how they treat their staff is not acceptable.

Jenny Omdal

What an amazing meal after a weekend of camping and celebrations! Hubby got the smoked BBQ chicken sandwich, and I got the Grilled chicken Caesar salad, and mozzarella sticks!! Everything was quick and tasted amazing!! Service was bang on! What a great way to end a weekend :)

Brandon Puckrin

Food was awesome and service was outstanding

B B

St. Daves is amazing! Someday from the office usually orders from there daily and they are great, fast and friendly! The chicken Ceasar wraps are to die for!

Glen Matthew

Food s ok decor not so great

Karen Purcell

Best breakfast in kawartha, We stopped here in our way back to the city , Party of 6 with our twin grandchildren, 1 of which is autistic, The owner/manager was amazing at accommodating our group ,

UndergroundCustoms Toronto

I took a chance as hunger was taking over as I drove endlessly. I was greeted by a very well spoken gentleman who offered me a menu. I chose take out and ordered the smoked chicken BBQ sandwich. It was incredible. Perfectly cooked and delicious. I was really surprised at how good it was! The next time I'm passing by I will definitely stop in for another great meal.

John Bethune

We went for the Debruzini sausage special. It was absolutely delicious. I've been here twice now and the food is fantastic. We will definitely be back,... often.

Marilyn Watt

Sam L

Amazing food. Home cooking at its finest. Great prices. Definitely Recommend!

Stan Kinsman

Great Breakfast. Good and hot. Service very friendly.

Paul Henry

Was there for breakfast a few months ago. Worst meal ever ! Food was COLD and service was average at best.

Anne D

We visited on a very busy weekend morning but we were seated quickly and had great service. The menu is inventive and the food that we ordered was delicious. This is obviously an excellent breakfast and lunch spot that is frequented by many locals - a mark of a good restaurant. I would highly recommend this spot and understand that it will be open occasionally for dinner.

Wendy Harvey

A little out of the way, but so worth it. Great food, great prices and gluten free options!!

Ethan Harbison

I come here whenever I'm in town. Best breakfast around with an incredibly friendly staff.

Mirela Sonley

Had the poutine at the Bobcaygeon fair. The gravy was so yummy! It's the gravy that makes the poutine. I didn't even mind it was shredded cheese and not curds, faster melt and it was melted evenly over the fries.

Nancy Hill

Always great food and service

Sherman Gowan

The food is amazing the staff is awesome and it is a great experience I really recommend it

Chris Vine

I worked at this restaurant for a couple of weeks in food prep. No short cuts here, all food is made with fresh ingredients by staff who care about and take pride in what they do. No wonder the food is so good. Proof that good management is a key to success. Was sorry to leave but had to deal with aging parents.

Mike Schroder

St daves is amazing. Go at least once a month with friends. I remeber my gf and I went for valentine's last year and was shocked to try the buffet!!! We get out every long weekend now for every buffet. Easily the best diner in the kawarthas if not ontario. This place needs to be on "you gotta eat here" Staff is friendly. All the old pictures of lindsay hung on the wall are really neat!!! Each table has some sort of version of trivial pursuit which is great conversation starters and makes the wait for the food fun. Every weekend the place is packed. But don't let all the cars in the parking lot make you think it will take forever. Because they move people in and our very quickly. Overall 10/10 recommended to anyone. Great place!!

Lisa Laninga-Twohey

Always rhe best food and service here. Dave takes wonderful pride in everything
