Slow service, food was cold plate was hot. The party had burgers. I had steak. The burger buns were terrible. The burgers we on par with gas station burgers. My food the steak was over cooked. Cold the mashed potato was cold and firm. I would not eat here again. There better places to spend your hard earned money. 🤢

Food was excellent! Great portion sizes. Service was good. The waitress was the only one there, so she could've used some help, however she did well.
Support your staff and give them some help. 🙂

Gluten free diner's beware: if they mess up your plate they may sinply pull the bread off in the kitchen and hand the plate back to you. As this is exactly what happened to me while getting breakfast this morning. Luckily, i am able to tolerate some crumbs but some are not.

I did raise the issue with another server, who agreed that should not have happened. However it was included with my stay and i did not have time for a remake.

Been here 4-5 times now and it is amazing! Great buffet, love all the soup & sandwich combos, and incredible friendly service. Not towntiin, the prices are very reasonable! Love it here.

I ordered suft n turf- med steak and lobster, stuffed potatoe, and seasonal vegetables. To start a spinach salad.

The waitress forgot during my 1.5 hours there: drinks, napkins, salad dressing, garlic toast, steak knife. She was nice through. The manager seemed ok too.

Steak was overdone, over salted and chewy, veggies looked freezer burnt or old - I told them I would eat the steak but did not eat the veggies. They gave me 10% off (6.99) for my steak being overdone. The rest of the food on my plate was good. My companion sent his first meal back (chicken Something). The broccoli was mush, as it was chicken peices with some overly cheesy sauce mixed in a ramekin type dish. He asked for a side of pasta - they just put boiled noodles on the side of the plate. His replacement dish was the thinest chicken burger I've ever seen.

I would go here perhaps for breakfast but never for dinner again. The staff seem undertrained or something. Im giving 2 stars due to the waitress being so nice and the lobster was good. They also tried to fix the food concerns.

Great location inside the Norseman Inn, with seating for large to small groups. It is usually easier to get in for supper than for lunch, when line ups can become very long. This restaurant is a favorite with senior citizens. There are senior's specials, bottomless coffee cups and the pie is fantastic.
The buffet seems to be most popular with hefty men, tradespeople and farmers. I love that they are welcome and comfortable here. There is nothing pretentious about this place.
(Sorry, I am used to BC... Where even the seagulls look down their nose and raise their eyebrows if it appears you make an honest living.)
A very substantial Buffett with lots of meat choices, soup, sides, and a salad bar is on offer.
The a la carte menu offers beef, turkey, and chicken dishes, as well as a variety of pastas and sides.
The Norseman brewery has been around for decades and they know their stuff. I always get Eric the red. A perfect lager to accompany their melt in your mouth beef dishes.
Highly recommend this restaurant.

It's the second time I've been here in recent months and I had forgotten how UNBELIEVABLY SLOW it is even when the restaurant is not busy. Ordered a simple sandwich today and it was a LONG wait.

25 min to get a chef salad! When it did come it so was not worth the money very small portions.I think the chef pays for ingredients out of his own pocket. Nice big puddle of water on the bottom. Wont be back.
