Sat us last minute while very busy. Super nice owner and waitstaff

Wilhelm Bauermeister

Amazing restaurant!! Easily one of the best places in Kenora and Keewatin area. 4 different options for vegans. Owner and staff are very friendly. I highly recommend!

Andréa J. Campbell

Delicious food, relaxing atmosphere and friendly service. And they have tofu to make things vegan

Steve Campbell

I never would have thought you could find food this good in a town as small as Kewatin.

Absolutely phenomenal. Great customer service. Relaxing atmosphere. Great portions. Perfectly cooked. Decent prices. If it were any better the name would have to be heaven.

Brandon J

The vibe of the inside of the building was quaint but cool, and the service was pretty decent. Thanks to Clara for being a cool waitress

Evan Saunders

Had the boss pizza and deep fried pickles. Has to be one of the best pizzas I’ve had! Perfect ratio of toppings and the crust was excellent. Deep fried pickles were amazing, cooked to perfection. Will definitely be making the trip to 901 Westside anytime I’m in Kenora. Worth the 10 minute drive to Keewatin!

Jared Bean

Excellent, high quality food. Burger was juicy, bacon was thickly cut and meal was cooked to perfection.

Remarkable Service! We went for Walleye Wednesday and decided to sit on the patio. It started to rain and there was no available seating inside at the moment, so the manager grabbed us an umbrella, lit up the porpane heater and heated up some blankets in the dryer for us ! When our food arrived an open table became available, but the manager made us so comfortable we decided to stay out and enjoy the peaceful patio ! Not only was the manager and staff very accommodating, the food was amazing ! One of the best dine out experience I have ever had in Kenora ! Great place to go !

Andrew Wang

Standard Canadian food. Jalapeno poppers were great though.

Lois K

Great dinner out tonight. Staff were amazing and very helpful with suggestions. Peanut butter ice cream pie was delicious.

John S

The pickerel taco was great the wait time and ability to get it drinks refreshed was not. Expect long waits when going.

Robyn Crawford

Amazing gluten-free options for pizza. The one I ordered (The Jerza) had loads of veggies plus chicken. Delish! Cute little place with good service.

Mike Wiebe

Picked this restaurant for a dinner stop while passing through based on reviews. Was not disappointed! Hours were wrong on google, so we arrived 30 min before opening. (Hours are now corrected.) They say me taking a picture of the hours, and said hi. Let is in early, was greatly appreciated. Service was great. Cozy and well decorated. Had the Westside walleye, which was prepared with tomatoes and a nice sauce. Excellent tasting with fresh fish. Also had the half rack of ribs, with salad and viniagrette. Both dishes were served with rice. We very much enjoyed the service and food at 901Westside, and encourage a visit even though you wind through a residential area off the main roads to get there.

Leslei Scott

I had the special..beef medallions in a mushroom sauce..omg..super tender and tasty! The Ceasar salad is one of my favs..great portions..love it!

Susan Meyers

Benjamin Cheater

Now let me tell you! This is the best place to go for any meal!also the owner is the best

Brian L

Nice cozy spot in Keewatin. Clean and friendly staff. Came here for lunch which is usually a cheaper meal but found the prices a tad high for the small portion size. BLT Sandwich with a small bowl of fries as a side is $15.

Jennifer Crawford

We love this restaurant! From the drinks and appies to the entrees, 901 Westside never disappoints. The patio is beautiful and the staff is friendly and informative. We had dinner with my son and his fiancee who suffers from life threatening allergies. The waitress went above and beyond to confirm details and potentially harmful allergens for our future daughter in law and let me just tell you, it was greatly appreciated. Thank you and you will see us again!!!

Carol Johnson

Excellent!

Tammy/James D

My husband and I came to the Keewatin area for a construction job and came to 901 Westside based on the reviews. It did not disappoint!!! Amazing food! Good service! Lovely atmosphere! A must if you are in Keewatin :)

Matt Hodgman

Top notch food and great staff!

Crystal McLeod

Enjoyed dinner at this cute restaurant in Keewatin downtown last night. I will say upfront, the prices are a little higher here (approx $20-30 an entree) - but totally worth it! The decor of the restaurant is cute, and matches the general character of Kenora. There is good variety on the menu, so your sure to find something to please. I had the dijon chicken, and it was awesome. Definitely would recommend to others!

Steve B

Always great service, good food and selection, can get busy during peak supper hours, go early or make a reservation.

Chadwick Elias

Great food and service

C P

Great Food, Great Hospitality, Great Atmosphere.

Richard Roy

Great service, great food, great atmosphere. The dining is excellent!

Matt Ellis

Superb, intimate, delicious. Very popular though, so reservation is a must to be sure you'll get a place. We arrived at opening and almost missed out. The place was packed.

Lenard Whiting

Great food and wonderful staff.

Kåra Laess

Unpretentious (though clean) ambience so I was surprised when I was in absolute ecstasy over the food. Don't be put off by the appearance, this is probably the classiest food for a few hundred km on either side of the Trans-Canada.

Geoffroy Chapleau

The Magret de canard was great. Perfectly cooked and the sauce amazing. Just the mash potatoes were not hot enough and a little bland, as well as the vegetables. But overall super satisfied.

Mel W

Great place for lunch. Loved the Guacamole.

Rob Carver

A hidden gem in Keewatin.

Alena Pochailo

Always great service and great food.

Meghan Ray

Great food!

Danielle Ducourneau

We came from out of town on a cross Canada road trip from Ottawa and were looking for food close to our hotel (Brewers Inn - beautiful place.) It was late and we sat down, ordered a beer and even though it was close to closing they were super sweet. We took our food to go and they were very accommodating. It did not go unappreciated! My partner got the westside burger and I got the vegan burger. Both were handmade and the flavours were just... So good. My vegan burger was large and in charge and they didn't skimp on the fries AT ALL. Great atmosphere, friendly staff and kickass food. Thanks 901 Westside!

Paul Moorey

Good service, good food and an owner that is happy to see you!

Haley Bancescu

Patio is beautiful and the food was great!

Melinda Pawlowski

Love the food!

Michael Fournier

I've been here for lunch and dinner. The sirloin mushroom burger with onion rings and homemade fries were excellent, along with the great service made for a special evening at 901 Westside.

Boss Bosma

Good company great food.quite

Rob Michaw

I was there for take-out earlier today (post lock-down). The food was actually very tasty, but I ordered the Friday special of Fish and Chips and the portion was ridiculously small. A decent size coleslaw, a decent size french fries and then the equivalent of 3 small chicken nugget sized pieces of fish. Coincidentally, I only ate two of them as one had a hair stuck to it. I can excuse the hair as that happens everywhere from time to time, but the portion size of the fish was not excusable. Perhaps they would have taken care of things had I eaten in the restaurant, but I was miles away by the time I even opened it up.

Paul I

Love it

Zoe Higgins

Frequently good food. Nice change from the usual local fare. Deep fried pickles are. To die for!

Ferg Devins

901 Westside is just one of the greatest dining establishments in Kenora. Located in "Keewatin", near to the Two Bears Marine - access is easy by car or by boat. There is public docking to enjoy this wonderful restaurant by accessing via Lake of the Woods. Brenda and her team are sure to please you with their delightful menu and often "specials" of the night. Enjoy !

T Lazreq

Very yummy food! And great service!

Larry McInnis

Excellent service I had the ABC sandwich. One of the best I have ever had. Wife had the ruben. She said it was excellent. Very quiet place with food this good I am surprised it is not much busier. I will be returning to explore more of the menu.

Don King

Excellent food and very attentive staff

Gail Wetendorf

Awesome food and service!

Excellent food, great service and the relaxed feeling of a "ma n pa" owned eatery. If you have not tried it give them a whirl. Way to go 901!

Maureen Rybak

Great small restaurant with excellent food and service

James Engel

Its great and a great staff!

Quinn Hamlyn

Fast friendly service and excellent food

Candace Backlun

This place seemed as if everyone in town had a reservation and we could see why. This is a local hot-spot for anyone in town or out. The service was great and the food was top notch. I had the noodle bowl with chicken and it was delectable and my partner had the burger as it came recommended by staff. I was told it was also very good and filling. Would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a nice night out for some good food. Will be back.

Randy Loewen

Great food and service

Matthew

Great food and service. I was also fortunate enough to catch some exceptional live music.

Morgan Haines

Gucci gucci food , so yumm

Leslie G

Went for birthday celebration for our daughter in law. Good thing we had reservations as they were turning people away without. Food was hit and miss. Caesar salad was good all around. Two had Ribeye medium rare. One was medium rare, other was medium. My husband had the pickerel special and said it was great. I had 1/2 barbecue chicken. Scrawniest chicken, almost no meat on the bones. Chicken was cold, dry and flavourless. There was some barbecue sauce on the skin but most of it went with skin at side of my plate. My second accompaniment was roasted vegetables? Don’t think they ever saw an oven. More like lightly stir fried, still crisp. Also flavourless. Everyone else had potato wedges they said were great! Very pricy restaurant with mediocre food.

sandra herd

Delicious lunch. Tuscan chicken sandwich and homemade fries! Bread pudding and vanilla ice cream was so yummy. Can't wait to go back :)

Don Ostrom

Great food....

Darcy Morton

Nice meal good portions good service but not cheap

This is one of the best kept secrets of Keewatin. Food is great and service is friendly. Due to Covid, facemasks are required when entering. There are two choices for dining, being an outside patio or a few tables inside. There is a great selection on the menu including fish, chicken, ribs, vegan and lots of salad options as well. We opted for inside and after drinks ordered the special which was fresh pickerel and fries, with beans on the side. Delicious and almost couldn't finish the serving. Service is prompt and the food is served piping hot. They also offer a takeout option for those who wish it.

Andy Graham

The menu has a great variety of options

Keith MacCharlrs

Some of the best food we had in Kenora. Also a really good gin martini. The ribs were ok, salmon was super, and the curry dish was quite good. They were awesome with the kids and have a good kids menu. The burger my son had was very good.

Fav place to eat whenever I get up to Kenora! Food is delish and service is always excellent! Will always recommend their jalapeno poppers!

Andrew Shires

Came with extended family for a dinner out. The staff and owner were excellent, patient and very helpful. The food was outstanding and worth the boat ride over from Coney. If I lived here, I would definitely come back with friends. Had the Dijon chicken dinner(amazing), and the peanut butter ice cream pie for dessert. Very good and a nice finish to the evening. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

Fantastic! Food. Service. Atmosphere. If you're in KTown and don't come here, you're missing out. (May be out of Peach Schnapps)

Chelsea Jackson

Excellent food, walleye (Wednesday) is AMAZING, also had a Cobb salad and it was delicious. What a great little gem, we'll be back. The service was also friendly and down to earth - just what we needed after a long day of driving. Thank you 901!

The food is fantastic and the services is great. A small restaurant in Keewatin so a little out of the way for some, but worth it.

Dana Wallbridge

P Chung

Although the location is off the main street area ,but the restaurant is worth the visit. the decor and atmosphere are excellent. The service are both attentive and good. As for the food, the steak that we ordered are juicy and very favourable! Appetizers are also up to par. Highly recommended if you have a chance!
