Gourmet Restaurant

Breakfast review: The Good: - The price after tax for their breakfast special was $8.41- The Server, she was engaging, friendly and struck up a convo. Very nice lady! - Believe it or not the ambiance. Although the decor has a definite 80's feel it is nice to be a traditional diner. The Meh: The breakfast itself, my bacon was undercooked and the potatoes were very under flavored. It did redeem itself with a bottomless cup of coffee (included and not upcharged like most places) and Jam and peanut butter is a great touch. Overall: Great value for your money seems to be the common theme here. And good friendly service. I will try it for lunch one day.

The waitress was awesome, the guy at the cash was useless and demeaning to the waitress. The food was great and cooked quickly and perfectly. The only star was due to the guy at the cash. I hope he sees this review and reevaluates how he behaves and how he treats people. To be honest it wouldn't kill him to bus a table or two!

Great food... Great service

Always a generous serving & a smiling server !!love the coffee & seen a few good ole friends too !!

Good food, plentiful plates for the hungry and very reasonable prices. Located on the highway, it is surprisingly very accessible and there's plenty of parking whether you drive a 4 wheeler or an 18 wheeler.

The food was very tasty, the portions were large (hello, take-out box!), and the service was fast, efficient & friendly. We'll definitely be back again 😁And special thanks to a previous reviewer who commented on the wonky steps at the entrance -- that was a very helpful tip!

Under-cooked homefries and soggy french toast. No maple syrup. No whole wheat toast option (only white or rye). Server was nice.

Well I'll tell you I go here for breakfast for lunch and sometimes dinner and the one thing I can say is always give you an abundance of food and it's good and the prices are reasonable. The staff is very likeable to

Great food, buy 1 meal eat for 2 days

Friendly staff...great food portions... And tasty "home" cooked food experience! Always a wonderful meal. Plenty of space. Along with the regular restaurant and bar stool area, they have an area for sports teams, banquet parties, or just lively family gatherings. I highly recommend it!

Food was generic, had the Rueben 1st time it wasn't very good or made properly, fries are frozen. 2nd time fish & chips. The fish was very good. The waitress Denise forgot my gravy on my fries but tried to charge me anyways & was pretty surly. Other waitress kept talking to me about her life & was polite but kept forgetting to serve me. Overpriced when you consider its nothing but fries they're giving you. A tiny cup of rice pudding or jello is $4. All in all I won't eat there again except maybe for the fish n chips.

My favorite restaurant in Carleton Place. Home cooking at its best!! Soups are fresh, homemade, and always soo good.

Went with family and family friends. We all enjoyed our meals. Portions and prices were great. Staff was friendly and engaged even though it was busy on this Family day weekend. We would go more often if we lived in town. Highly recommend.

Great comfort food and service.

Eat here with family out of town or just in need to go out with my family.. good kids meal options and smiling friendly wait staff

Good food, good price, good service.

Attentive staff are pleasant. The food great, with larger than average portions. Too bad they're only in one place. Reminds me of the local restaurants that used to line the main road of a village or suburb as I was growing up. Very popular with the locals. They are even lined up waiting for seats. Not "a place for suits" though. Wear your jeans, and dress down. Nobody is looking when there is good food sitting in front of them. You will want to tip well.

Absolutely loved this dining lounge. Fully licensed and huge portions. Friendly staff that welcome you and wish you a good day in the way out. Meals from scratch. Roasted turkey roasted on site, homemade coconut cream pie, etc.. definitely a spot to stop.

Love the breakfast and Val is the best waitress!!Mexican omelet is my go to but love the reg breakfast tooDinner food is okay. I’m a salad girl so iceberg lettuce isn’t my choice for salad.Everything else is decent

My son loved his burger and fries!

A great menu will all your favorite road-side fare. Reasonable prices and the service was friendly and fast. Ample parking and an excellent spot for people-watching. Limited desserts but a senior and kids menu is available.

Great service, reasonable prices and good food..

Worth the trip to Carleton Place for this little gem! Great service, excellent food. Show up hungry, leave full.

The service was amazing food was fantastic and affordable

Hearty specials fill your belly from soup to dessert all included! Servers are on you... in and out fast if your waiting for the bus etc.

One of my favourite restaurants! Great food and service!

Great food and good service cant ask for much more

I had a delicious roast turkey dinner. It was delicious.Price was right, too.I met with friends there and we all enjoyed our meal.Nice quiet and peaceful restaurant. I would return for all of these reasons.Merry Christmas 2019.

Great food, great staff

Good food. A little dated on the inside. Friendly staff. Extra $.50 for poached eggs makes no sense to me though.

The chicken fingers were great! The meals are large.

We had a group outing of 40 people. They new far ahead of time. Our one waitress who took all of our orders was very friendly. Luckily some went early to order. The fish was like a thick chicken ball batter but doughy on the inside and a little rubbery. Mom had the salad and the dressing was very waterey. I think with the mass of people ordering salads maybe they whipped up a batch of dressing and forgot a couppe ingredients. The coconut pie looked delicious but once we had a bite it was as though there was a large amount of gelatin powder used. No fluff to any part of it. On the up side they have Barqs root beer and our waitress was very friendly!

Huge portions, great comfort food, the staff are so nice, great prices, great family restaurant

Nice place. The staff was friendly but extremely busy. The food was very good, and they were willing to accommodate our special requests. But be prepared to wait, the place gets extremely busy in the evening.

Stopped for pizza on the go and it was absolutely amazing! Don’t let the outside scary you away. It’s a true small town restaurant, with locals and visitors passing through and you’ll get that home cooked meal! Give it a try!

Great food, great service! Didn't have to wait for my food when I went to pick up, and it was hot and so good!! I recommend this place for pizza and Italian poutine too!

We always go for breakfast and we are welcomed every time we go. Excellent food, the staff are great and friendly.

Great place...old fashioned style dinner... great fries

Great home cooked food at a reasonable price. Large portions we always stop when we come home

Busy spot. Brunch was good. Family atmosphere

Picked up a pizza tonight. Still as awesome as it was 28 years ago when I worked there. Love the Gourmet ❤️

Quick service, friendly staff, good food.

Good prices. Big servings and decent food.

Don't let its run down exterior dissuade you. I went here for breakfast with a friend of mine and was very pleasantly surprised. The food was good quality, the coffee was excellent, the service was very friendly and fast and on top of that, it's cheaper than any breakfast I can get in my part of town (and there's a lot of options here.)Was quite pleased and will be back!
