Reviews of Ivan's Restaurant (Restaurant)

Sarah Billard

The best poutine I have ever had. The Canadian is AMAZING!!!!

Don Seneviratna

Comfort food and lots of kinds of gourmet poutines. Fries cut fresh, burgers made in house by hand, and they even have a good GF bun!

M Ellis

Great food, fast friendly service

Scott

Really good food! Breakfast was huge - I had the breakfast poutine. Very good! Diner atmosphere.

kuang lu

This is a restaurant that knows exactly what it is and wants to be. It accomplishes just that fantastically. Their food is high quality, and just eating it lets you know it was cooked with care and respect for the food. Fantastic place, great prices.

ZoeyCatLive

Stopped on our way through North Bay; worth the little drive off the highway. Great classic diner food and milkshakes!

I have never liked a restaurant as much as this one. Not only is the poutine the best I ever had, the burgers are amazing. I would give it 6 stars if I could

PAUL MEYERS

Minna Ludvigsen

Awesome milkshake

Evan Brylikowski

The family poutine is epic. Make sure you get extra gravy and cheese if you want to tackle that monster. If you need a truckload of tasty poutine for a fair price, this is the place!

Meaghan MacKenzie

One of the best diners in the city. Their specials are the best deal. Staff is always polite and pick up is always ready quickly. Take away is carefully packed up. They have an ice cream parlour and make milkshakes and ice cream sandwiched.

Xander Miller (PareidoliaX)

Had the cheese burger and poutine, vv yummy! Friendly staff, clean dinning area, and great prices.

Nathan Young

Nice place, great food, friendly

Alex Cianfarani

$11.00 for a medium basket of below average poutine and a very small glass of fountain Pepsi.

Darrell Deibel

10/10.

Best Poutine

Jordan Wood

The best food in north bay hands down.

Gabriel Bastien

A decent takeaway

Jonathan H

Always amazing food. Staff is friendly and helpful. You can't go wrong coming here.

Jon Bon

Visited from far out of town and was taken here for breakfast with the fam. Great prices, great food, and great staff. Not so common to get all THREE of those! Great job.

Jonah Patenaude

The family poutine is $7

Tyler B

Fast, friendly and inexpensive breakfast. I only gave 3 starts because the coffee was terrible and that's key for breakfast.

Winnie Cooper

Got a bandaid in my poutine but got free icecream out of it so overall not a bad experience

Sarah Walker

Great poutine! One complaint though... they charge over $2 for a relatively small glass of fountain pop and they charge full price for refills! For the price of the fountain pop they really need to have free refills for dine-in customers. It's kinda cheesy they do this so I probably won't be back as often.

Trevor Demain

Great food and staff

Saylor Weaver

Great gluten free stuff

N Iserhoff

Best poutine in North Bay and great milkshakes.

scott t.

Dine in

Julie Monast-Nadeau

Great little restaurant. The prices are good, and so is the food! The tables are set for a max seating of 4. This may mean if you have more than 4 guests, you can't eat all together. You have the choice of eating indoors or outdoors. The chicken fingers were very good, and fries were hot! I would recommend.

Robert Coleman

I have loved this place since high school and it is still the best place for poutine!

Kate R

I always get my 2 egg breakfast. They put some extra spices on the hashbrowns which taste amazing. They also have a great phone order service which I highly recommend you try. Boyfriend and I order hamburgers and he runs out and grabs them! Milkshakes are great too

Grahame Stap

Amazing food as usual. Service was quick and polite.

Frank Diller

Great cup of coffee. Friendly people. Great food. Must visit place in North Bay. Another great Breakfast at Ivan’s. Superb. Undoubtedly the best in North Bay. Great staff so friendly. Thank you

Louise Boudreau

Smoked meat poutin is the best!

Liz Robbins

Great poutine. Diner style decor. In a small and busy strip mall.

Sid

Good food, good menu, awesome ice cream, friendly staff, one of the best poutine in town. I went to this place a lot to either eat there, for take out or just enjoy an ice cream on their outside seating area.

Apryl Westaway

Love the food staff is the friendliest around

MyStation Universe

Cheap and very basic breakfast joint. Fast service.

fran poirier

Good poutine, little expensive

Judy Lew

Went to Ivan's for breakfast while I'm North Bay for a weekend. Giving 4* because the price and value is quite exceptional! We had eggs Benedicts for less than $10 and a 2-egg breakfast for something like $6. No doubt this is the cheapest restaurant option around. Taste was okay. Would probably not go back but wasn't bad. Just a greasy diner-type breakfast that you can easily replicate at home. I would suggest if you're looking for a cheap option and not wanting to cook at home.

Amanda Zintel

Love this restaurant. I always add a piece of battered fish as a side because it’s sooo good.

Melissa W

Huge portions of delicious food and it's ready fairly quickly. Bitchin poutine.

Bruce M

Wrap was great but too many fries for me. My husband's burger had No meat all bread ,very thin and also to many fries We were there 3 weeks ago ,and the burger was great for 27.00 dollars Beef and brand is far more superior than what we had today but your staff is great .

Cheyenne Mullen

Amazing food. Love coming here

The food was delicious and my family enjoyed every bit of it, thank you to the staff, fast service and enjoyable food ????

Nadine Berger

I would regularly walk across the city to get fries here in my highschool days, Ivan's is a model for what diners should be.

Anthony Ricciuti

Service is a little bit slow but they more then make up for it with friendliness. Food was great

Skeletons 2: Bonus Calcium Edition

Asked for no mustard or relish on the burger. Took a bite and had mustard and relish... but they tried to scrap it off. So they put on the wrong toppings then scraped it off and knowingly sent out the wrong burger. FU. Will never go back to this overpriced establishment.

Shannon Unger

I've never seen a place that is Famous for Poutines go with Shredded Cheese as a default. A poutine is served with Cheese curds. Not only do you have to pay EXTRA for the curds, but it isn't default by option. The new management and owners seem to be more concerned with what they get put into their pockets then they are concerned with their reputation as one of the best Poutine's across Canada. I have in fact lived from British Columbia, all the way to Quebec and every province in between. They used to compete with some of the best Poutines ever made, this even includes all the Poutines that are made, during Poutine Week in Montreal (2nd week of Feb.). Not they are Mediocre at best. SERIOUSLY gone downhill in the last 3 years.

Great food and prices. Love the decor!! ???? Friendly staff with an old-fashioned sense of treating their customers with respect. If you just order a small fry (wonderful old-fashioned taste) to sit in and eat, the staff still cater to you. ???? ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND Ivan's!!

If your searching for Poutine, Burger, Pogo places to eat in the North Bay area. this place is for you then. Ivan's may be the best Poutine I’ve ever had! Just annoyed I had to share it with my Fiancé. I love this restaurant and the Pronto Pop (Pogo) is absolutely delicious and very filling.

Michelle Kennedy

We went to Ivan's restaurant, At 1867 O'Brian St. North Bay, Ontario, at Aprox 12:10-12:15 pm On Friday September 10 2021 As We have for Many Years. We were waiting in Line when a male went Right past Everyone in The line up & proceeded to Place his order, the cashier Didn't correct him, I Said "Excuse Me, You just Cut right in front of Us!" He proceeded to berate Me & was extremely rude, then stated I was rude & My Parent's hadn't taught Me any manners, etc., so, of Course, I started to give it Back explaining it was rude To cut in line & DON'T speak of My Parent's, he kept cutting Me off, Berating Me & saying he didn't have time to wait in line, I said "& We DO!?? You're very rude & Disrespectful..." he got combative, & continued to speak Derogatory to Me & NO ONE SAID OR DID ANYTHING!!!! When it was Our turn to order, I asked the cashier why she hadn't said anything to let him know We were first, she said "I'm not getting involved!!! Are you going to place Your order!" I said "NOPE! We will go elsewhere!" & walked out, I went back in to request to speak to the manager, the same cashier said "I'm the Owner!" I said, "& You allow people to cut in front of Other's??? We WON'T be back, EVER! & you have now lost A LOT of business!" & I turned to the obnoxious male & told him he was a Disrespectful A$$HOLE!! & walked out! I have been A LOYAL Customer of Ivan's for 30 Plus years & recommended them to EVERYONE!!! I will NEVER recommend them again & I WILL Be letting EVERYONE know About how We were treated, Like second class citizens & that they allowed this very rude male to treat Us 2 females Like We were NOT Worthy Of Respect!!! So, I gather social distancing Nor covid protocols are No longer in effect at Ivan's restaurant as We were standing back awaiting Our turn to Be called up & he just ploughed past Us & went straight to the cash with his mask below his nose!!!!

Kazuya Kujo

Absolutely delicious! The wraps and sweet potato fries with chipotle sauce is so yummy! The milkshakes are to die for! It is A great lunch spot for on the go or to sit down! Would recommend calling ahead of time and ordering your food if you are taking it to go because it can take a while.

It all started with Madison the hostess taking our Order down asked for a club sandwich with the bacon well done which we got!!! We also asked for a Montreal smoked meat which was perfectly prepared no fat!!! We asked for a poutine to die for and fries golden cooked with Gravy to swim in was so awesome!! We also asked Cream of potato soup That also was really good!!! Wish we had a restaurant like this in Ottawa or Orleans.

Alec MacDonald

Very good food. Breakfast poutine is hands down the best food on the menu. Good service. Don't forget to ask for cheese curds on poutine.

Michael Walsh

Quebecoiz poutine and chocolate milkshake.

Fast, cute, great atmosphere, affordable, and tasty truck stop style food. Really dislike having to pay and tip before I receive service though

Maxime Boulanger

Best burgers and poutine around. Use to live in North Bay but moved to St Thomas and miss the food. Every time we are back for family we stop in. Make it a place to hit for good food and great service.

COOL Pictures

Always the greatest place to get a pogo and poutine, been a faithful customer my whole life, they have expanded their menu quite a bit and everything tastes great.

Monica “Real reviewer” Ck

Food tasted great. The burger was cooked and the fries were crispy yet soft. Only issue was the price of pop. 1.95$ for a small glass of pop and no refill.

Ivan's is a classic.

John Bouffard

If you go here have the Montreal smoked meat sandwich. It will melt your face hole. Oh and the poutine is awesome too

Natalie Hamilton

Food is great, one of they staff serving can be a bit cold and will reply to you in a less than welcoming manner during their busy times when you make a simple request for common items like ketchup.

Mr Brandon

Good Food and big portions

Nelda Wheat

Quality and the desire to please makes the experiance unforgettable. Great fries.

Miriah Hernden

Mmmm, Ivan's has the best burgers. I hear they have really good poutine too. Well, I guess I've heard it's the best.

The Basic Painter

Great food and fast service, breakfast poutine is life changing

Cassandra Bonhomme Parisien

Place was not busy yet I watched as other people who ordered after we did got their meals. I had to remind the waitress that we were waiting a long time. No apologies from the staff. When the food arrived it was not what I ordered. Still no apologies. I get mistakes can happen, I get a few mistakes can happen, but not apologizing is just bad customer service. This place is popular. I guess folks in North Bay must not be used to actual good customer service.

Leafair

Always good food, reasonable price and great service even when it's super busy.

bruno maluf

Still have the best home made Fries!

Cait F.

The food is very tasty. I always enjoy going back for another meal.

robertralger

Had a very good supper here. Great clubhouse and fries. Service was very friendly and attentive.

리아논

The food was great for the price, with decent portions. However it does feel more like a take out place rather than a sit down restaurant, having to order at the counter and wait for the food to be brought to the table with a number given to us. All in all I would recommend for decent food with decent prices on the go.

Brandon Delorme

Was very easy to place the order. Once seated the food was not far behind. Had the hamburger platter and it was excellent! Homemade burger. Will be back for sure and will highly recommend this restaurant to my friends.

Derick Dandy

Good fresh food

Eric Valchev

Delicious breakfast. I have came here many times and have always full and satisfied. Will be visiting again very soon.

Leslie Delorme

BEST POUTINE EVER!!

Food is really good here and especially milkshakes, there’s just one lady that’s rude to me when i go for lunch, but everyone else is really nice! :) and it’s kind of old fashioned in there which is pretty cool

Natasha Gagne

Super Fab place to eat!!!! Best milkshakes

Lise Roy

Great!!!

Brian Pigeau

The food is great and the portions are huge. I always take home leftovers. The milkshakes are the best in town.

Hu Shone

My wife said the Reuben was the best she has ever had. I had the Montreal Smoked Meat sandwich which is as good as any deli sandwich I have had in Montreal or NYC. Pronto Pups live up to their reputation.

Amanda McFarlane

Great food. Good prices. Fast and friendly service.

Don Rogers

Best poutine ever

Lukie Cartier

The amount of times i bought a family sized poutine here and been asked if i want 4 forks and i go "only 1" was enough some staff were able to recognize i didnt need 4 forks ???????????? I absolutely love their food and their Breakfast poutine, as well as their Ivans poutine, is one of my favourites on an early morning get up. There was 1 day a long while back where i quite literally did an all day and a night shift. Absolutely exhausted and probably looked the part. I ordered my food with water but one of the ladies came over and poured me a coffee and said it looked like I could use the pick me up. Didnt charge me for the coffee, but i always remember it --- and continue to come back as i most definitely needed that coffee! Its the little things, no matter how small the gesture that can really make a lasting impression They got that retro style dinner feel going on and even a jubebox that on occasion is working. If passing through north bay or been there all your life - its not that far off the highway either to stop by and have a couple bites ????

Ron Parisien

Always great.

Tammy Bell

Love the food here. Great pogos and some of the best poutine around. Process are awesome and specials are great.

Adam Donlan

Was recommended and was a great choice. Food was great. Portions are Hugh. Great place for vegetarians.

Real food!! GF options as well. Just like home cooked. Yummy. Clean, and nice staff.

JD Carlyle

Course looks great

Alexandre Tremblay

Great food and great service.

l t

Best restaurant that I’ve been to in a while!

Emily Hong

One of very few go to spots for me and my wife, Ivan's has the best overall poutine in town (some places have better fries, or better gravy, but this is the only place that has at least a 7/10 on each possible point). They are one of the few places actually giving you a real burger, and not some flat piece of meat. The food is by far worth the excellent price point, especially when comparing it to larger sit down venues that have the same caliber for a higher cost.

Kreszentia Uetz

A long standing family tradition to stop at Ivan's. It been around a long time, great food and service. Be sure to try one of their famous pronto pups!

Barbara Barrett

Love the atmosphere and the format of ordering, paying for and then sitting down to enjoy your meal. After you are completed you can just get up and leave. The breakfast we ordered was delicious also. As was the service.

Daryl Schindler

I had veggie burger platter with home fries and coleslaw...and vegan gravy..and a small gardens salad...! It was delicious, large portion,the fries were excellent and the veggie looked and tasted homemade....! The service was friendly...! I will certainly be back

Weneed Abetterworld

Ivans did an amazing arrangement for mothers day, it was easy to order and food was amazing. Their food was outstanding and a reminder of small dining experience

Patrick Murphy

BUYER BEWARE - this place puts fried eggs instead of poached eggs on their Eggs Benedict - crazy!

Owen Wood

Still amazing year after year. Best poutine around.

Cynthia Robinson

Amazing food and service. Perfect restaurant to represent North Bay.

Carl Bradshaw

Good fast food. Needs more control over how many people are allowed into the restaurant to place and wait for orders during peak hours

Cora-Dawn Knox

I got the bacon cheese burger and a normal poutine the burger was quite delicious but the poutine was bland and normal. Service was meh because the cashier gave me the impression that I needed to hurry up. Even when there was no line. Everyone else was very nice. I'd recommend this place to friends and family.

Terry Prabuki

Sharon Turncliffe

This is by far the best poutine I have ever had in my life! The Philly cheese steak was amazing, almost as good as the poutine. I have made it my life's goal to eat at this restaurant every time I pass through North Bay, and I am telling everybody about this place!!! The absolute best service, and very clean environment. Thank you!

Came from out of town for a second time to north bay, first time eating here though. The BEST little restaurant you could try, I wish I had more of an appetite so I could try more than just their delicious burger and Greek salad. Hats off to the chef you cook a mean burger my man ???? the staff that helped us was very friendly and patient as we made up our minds for what we wanted to eat, and the staff that served us was also very friendly and made sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our meal. The neon lights added a nice touch without being tacky. Will definitely be back!! Highly recommend this to anyone and everyone!

Sara Dufresne

Super place. Always quick for the order to come to the table, and after being here dozens of times, there has never been a fault with a meal. Likely the best homefries I've ever had served by a restaurant - not oily, not pasty or bland - just crispy and perfectly seasoned.

Brady Dyment

Burgers are good. Fries are famous. My children love the milkshakes. A must hit location for any foodie visiting North Bay.

plowdad green

Great extra greasy fast dripping food. Good and sticky to the artheries

Ryan Liard

Cant miss the poutine and pogos from this place!

Dawn Carne

Food and customer service is really good. Need to put some care on phone orders, they will tell you food will be ready by 30 minutes, when you show up you have to wait another 20-30 minutes. It’s like they start making food once you pay for it. What’s the point ordering food through phone.

Rita Robinson

awesome poutine and chicken fingers

Jess Belle

Excellent experience, great food great service.

Emeli Vezina

Nice people excellent waitress good service.

New ownership as per the cashier, below par attempt at customer service today. Covid protocols are no longer in place, you can just rush up to the counter. Doesn't matter if there are people waiting in line in front of you.

Chris U

Never disappointed.

Martina

Really yummy hearty diner food!

Dak

They have the best poutine ever! Have the Ivan's special!

Stuart Harley

Best poutine in North Bay

Clinton John James

Great food! Eggs benedict - amazing!

Emma Lauren

THE BEST breakfast in North Bay, the cheapest as well. The good is always hot and the service is quick.

Tina Be

Had a delicious lunch at a reasonable price. Every part if this meal was spectacular. The classic blue slushy tasted just like it should, the poutine(fries curds and gravy) is in a league of it's own but what really stood out for me was buffalo sauce that is made inhouse and one of if not the best buffalo sauces I've ever tasted. World class quality, with a classy, modern and comforting atmosphere. All topped by the professional, pleasant and hard working staff. Thankyou for a delicious, Canadian experience.

Jody Labrosse

A North Bay tradition. Great food, great service. Only downside is that it's so popular the place gets really crowded at times. Never had a bad experience.

Maureen Berube

Great service, outstanding meals. I love the "Grand Slam" breakfast. The best fries in town.

Sabrina Ramos

There is no place that has ever made a better poutine!

Always good food, they have, more than once, accommodated my office lunches, allowing us to order in early to give us time to eat and get back to work.

Troy Chayer

Fantastic Vegetarian Breakfast ❤️ Thank you Ivan's ????

Scouter Eric

Always good food, good service, but slow.

Samuel A

3 pm is not a busy hour for them but my glass, which was almost empty by the time the food got to us NEVER got refilled when usually I don't even have to ask. A server came out and asked if everything was ok about 5 minutes after the food got to us but NEVER came out again even though we were one of only 3 customers in the restaurant and there for roughly 40 minutes. Then found out that they ”have been charging for refills” since the beginning? no. Every other time I've been there I've never been charged for a refill. Not at all impressed.

Tammy Knox

Visiting North Bay and was told to check out Ivan's for the poutine. First time trying poutine and it definitely didn't disappoint. If I had more time in town I'd come back and try some of the other items on the menu. Great counter and table service.

Sue Yeates

Always great food with a friendly diner atmosphere.

Sorin Mihailescu

Wendy Onions

Good food, good service, fair prices. Thanks

Drake White

Scrumptious food, great service. I like to have the option of tipping after I eat. So if you feel the same it's alright to leave a tip at the table and not at the point that of transaction.

David Livingstone

Best food ever. Classic poutine and the same pronto recipe that's been served at Ivan s forever! My boyfriend and i went, and he tried the turkey burger. He insisted I try it, and it was amazing!! It was seasoned to perfection, on a wonderful bun. What a timeless little spot. Keep up the good work guys!!! Homemade hamburger patties too!!! It truely is a north bay tradition :)

Mattias Danielsson

Awesome.

Amy Melissa

Ivan's is an excellent little diner. All the staff are friendly and the service is pretty quick. They do great breakfasts, burgers, wraps, home made pogos, but they are best known for their poutine. The only complaint I have is that the parking lot of the strip mall they are in can fill quickly which makes parking a pain. However this isn't their fault and I certainly don't blame them for it.

Cmrt fox

Pretty good food and decent prices. Classic greasy spoon restaurant when you need one or good for an easy lunch.

Alan Scott

Best fish and chips I had in years. Fish tastes very fresh with crisp batter perhaps a tinge too thick for me but thats the style and what many like. Its still crispy on the outside and moist and delicious flakey on the inside. The chips are also a highlight as they are thick and taste fresh, no small or burned turds.10/10 on the fish and chips. Came back for a burger and poutine next day. The burger was fairly tasty homemade patty, maybe a little too thin for the nice bun and toppings. Slightly dry but again notning too noticeable. My bun was slightly burned on the edges but not enough to get another one. The poutine was awesome with very generous portions of fries gravy and curds. 8/10 on the burger and poutine. Cant wait to stop by here another time to try the other stuff.

Jonathan Cooper

Food is amazing, service is awesome! Curb side during COVID was a fun experience ????

brenda ouellette

Liette Girard

Busy place but they have fast and efficient staff to take your orders in no time.

Crystal St. Jean

Excellent, fast service, many different kinds of poutine that can not be found elsewhere. Big plates filled wit poutine or can have smaller portion in basket. Very good! Prices are reasonable.

Dylan Fletcher

Always a must, on every visit to North Bay!

Sara-Vi Leroux

Best fries ever!

Mandy Rocca

King Steveno

We come here semi often for the Putine. It's a nice restaurant with an easy going atmosphere.. great for kids or so we thought. Those who have kids 3 and under there is no change table. In either bath rooms male and female. That kills it for us and our 7 month old. As soon as this is fixed I'd be more then happy to change my review. Hope you guys show some effort in this department!

Carol Conrad

Good food clean pleasant service

Sandy Montreuil

Good food and great service. Has never let me down. Their milkshakes ????

Damon Topolie

Great prices, fast service and the food never dissapoints. Hearty, fresh, home cooking.

Mark Lavallee

Amazing food we are from out of town and found this place. It is more than fair value, great food, wonderful staff.

Nick Bell

Excellent food! Milkshakes are why I come though. Poutine is really well done here as well. The poutine was so big I didn't even get around to the burger, parking can be tough.
