“Had a wonderful experience at Harvey's! The food was fresh, delicious, and served quickly. The restaurant was clean, and the customer service was excellent. A special shoutout to Manager Olivia for leading such a friendly and efficient team. Tushar was incredibly welcoming, polite, and made sure everything was perfect. Their professionalism and positive attitude made my visit even better. Thank you to Olivia, Tushar, and the entire team for providing such a great experience. I'll definitely be coming back!”

“The best Chinese restaurant in New Brunswick 😋. Delicious Dim Sum! Highly recommended 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟”

“We celebrated my mom and husband’s birthdays at Italian by Night on Tuesday, August 19th, and it was such a perfect night! The team was super accommodating, and Liz, our server so kind, patient, fun and friendly. She really went above and beyond to make the whole experience extra special. The food (as always) was absolutely delicious, and the atmosphere makes you feel like you’ve been whisked straight to Italy. It’s often our first pick when we’re celebrating anything special...or when we’re just craving some amazing pasta. This is hands down the best spot in the Saint John and we recommend it all the time. Thank you for creating such a beautiful spot and adding such charm to our city. We look forward to supporting your business for many more visits to come! Grazie!”

“Great Vietnamese food and coffee, along with very inviting ambiance and friendly staff! The Vietnamese iced coffee is strongly recommended! I'll definitely be back when I visit Saint John.”

“Our server April was awesome. She helped my 90 year old grandmother pick out the perfect supper and she was very patient with her. She was also very friendly and visited the table often to see if we needed anything throughout the meal.”

“My son and I went there last night. Food was exceptional and service phenomenal! Our server, Gabe, was on point! He was engaged, prompt & mindful at all times. Super friendly! We will go back soon. Highly recommend the pasta and pepperoni pizza. Soooo good!”

“O'Leary’s Pub is such a great place to dance and enjoy live music. The atmosphere was amazing and the energy all night was unreal. I loved that there were two different styles of music happening at the same time: one area with a live band and another with two guys singing. It gave everyone something to enjoy. Definitely the place to be for a fun night out!”

“Amazing chowder, great service!”

“Absolutely amazing experience every time. The food is made with creativity and love, and the staff makes you feel like you’ve been invited in to their family. Make a reservation so you aren’t disappointed. And don’t forget to try their Saturday Bakery for some incredible freshly baked goods!”

“O.M.G. too many goods things to list. My taste buds and belly are so happy!! oh and get the cheesecake!! ♡♡♡”

“Ordered for the first time here. Ordered through Doordash. THE FOOD TASTED FANTASTIC 10/10. But the portion is just not giving 20 dollars. Anyway, I SUGGEST THAT THEY INCREASE the Portion of THEIR FOOD. So the pricing for the Combos are 20 dollars (plus taxes) but the portion is not worth 20 dollars I say… Badly want to order again but 20 dollars for 1 combo and small portion was just not worth the price.”

“Have ordered many times through Splash KV and sometimes have DoorDash delivery. Tonight we chose to go pick up and waited until our pickup time which was a bit longer than we hoped but their food is amazing and we were okay to wait until pickup time on our online order. Sent my fiancee to pickup and apparently our order was nowhere to be found… maybe a glitch in the system as I showed him the confirmed time for pickup and order…however, they rushed the order and had our items ready in 10 minutes flat! Plus when he came home I noticed they put an order of yummy spring rolls in as a complimentary item. The taste of every single dish ordered was absolutely scrumptious (the new mushroom & basil dish was sooooo delicious! Thank you Splash! I wanted to make sure to give credit where it is due. Excellent service, delicious tasting food and great quality! Thank you so much for making things better for us tonight!”

“If anyone has not gone axe throwing I definitely recommend it. Great staff and lots of fun throwing axes.”

“We recently rented out Port City Royal for a small wedding reception. The atmosphere was beautiful, food was amazing, and staff were exceptional. Tom was a breeze to deal with through the entire planning process. Would highly recommend.”

“The fish and chips were the best we have had, the atmosphere is awesome and the service was excellent. Our waitress Taylor was awesome. Thank you Ben and staff for the wonderful meal, we will be back soon. 🙂”

“Amazing experience! Fantastic service! And delicious food!! Honestly Saint John’s best kept restaurant secret. I wish I had know about it sooner!!!”

“My husband and I are regulars because we know we are always going to get consistently good food for a for a reasonable price and phenomenal service. Our favourite server is Jenn. She is exceptional and remembers our orders.”

“Called for takeout this afternoon, ordered Greek lemon chicken (my favorite) and 2 containers of chicken noodle soup. Everything was perfect, so tasty and well packaged. I love the Med!”

“A huge shout out to the wonderful women working at Rocky’s tonight, in particular Nicole, Brooke, Mia and the other two gals who had either served my food, or just popped their head up every now and then to give me a giggle.
Brooke: respectful and friendly on the phone and as a server. She even asked very specific questions to the chef for me. Nicole for getting the tv in my booth to display my football match WITH SOUND!!! For Mia, who waited on me most graciously earlier in the week and delivered a note to the kitchen staff for me tonight. And to the bloke behind the scenes, the chef, for making a damned delicious spicy burger without going nuts on the salt. Sheer flavourful perfection! Thank you everyone! I had a great time and my team won!!! Woo flippin’ hoo!!!”

“My family & I had a great experience at this location. This establishment is very kid friendly. Our server Maddy was fantastic and checked in with us frequently to ensure everything was taken care of. The food quality was great. We will definitely be back.”

“amazing food so glad to see the water St location open again.. absolutely great staff ... love the face lift 😍 so happy to have my favorite shawarma place back... Go check it out u won't be disappointed”

Congratulations on your new adventure and based on today's visit you have a winner. We will be back soon and will bring friends.”

“I went here for a steak but the BOTW ( burger of the week) caught my eye. The dreams of Paris burger was out of this world beyond my expectations! It was a REAL burger patty, brie cheese, pickled red onions tossed in balsamic vinegar, arugula and an AMAZING parmesan garlic aoli. The bun was perfect and the fries were so delicious!! My server Rouey was awesome. Really recommend this place for food, service and ambiance!”

“good food and drinks.. brilliant service from Caleb last night for a large group.. he seemed to be the only staff member working and didnt stop serving his tables. great service polite and helpful. hopefully he gets recognition for his hard work !!”

“I'd like to commend Jess (Jan. 26/26) for her amazing, friendly and professional service. She brightened our day for sure. Thank you Jess! Chris and Sally Reibling”

“Had a wonderful breakfast here today! The food was cooked perfectly and staff were great ! Also, best view in the city”

“Absolutely amazing, fresh seafood, cooked to perfection, and amazing staff. Have came here for years and often make this my first stop for a meal when in the city.”

“Had dinner twice there as I was staying at the Hilton. First night got the Nachos, they were pretty nice, good portions and very fresh. Second night was the Fish N Chip, which was disappointing, the tartar sauce felt weak, the batter was soggy, and the fish tasteless. Nice selection of draft beer, but they are over 11$ a pint.”

“Fast curteous service. Service with a smile. Delicious cinnamon rolls”

“ordered a tea with my food solely to get the hockey cards which on the screen was charged the 1.99 for pulled away and no hockey cards in the bag...”

“Manager she was nice & quick very friendly & patient with me.
They have good deals at this location! Very clean location. As they have a playground there. So it’s nice to see they take care and keep it spotless.

Drive thru no wait time at all.”

“Jane on the front cash today was outstanding. What an incredible employee to have. Such a proud and efficient worker, I was not surprised to see that she has won employee of the month in the past. Give that lady employee of the year next. Terrific job Jane!”

“I come here regularly and the staff are so patient and kind to my very overactive 4 year old. Especially a woman by the name of darlene. My son has built a friendship with her and has grown to love her to the point if we haven't gone there in a week or more he tells me he is sad and wants to go see her I hope McDonald's knows how valuable and lucky they are to have her there”

“Great service , great food , great atmosphere makes for a great dining experience”

“amazing breakfast and amazing people thank you for being so welcoming”

“Best breakfast in town and the girls there are the best waitresses ive ever had. Food is amazing and service is amazing! 10/10”

“I'm a huge coffee fanatic. I need a good hot cup of dark roast with an expresso shot to start my day. Java Moose in the uptown historic district was a fantastic choice. I got a medium (moose) size dark roast with an expresso shot. It had a deep, rich, and very smooth taste. I was very satisfied. Plus the price was so reasonable. Just over $5 CA. Wow! Service was super fast at 8:30ish am. Great local vibe. If you are staying in the area and want a sure thing for your coffee then head to Java Moose.”

“Very good service from Moses last night. our first time at Thandi but it certainly won't be the last. great atmosphere and amazing curries! we will be back”

“Delicious food that is excellent quality for the price. Staff are friendly and I've always had great customer service. On my last visit I had the baby in the stroller and he told me to go sit and that they would bring our food to us. Overall a real gem.”

“Absolutely amazing staff. I have an autistic son and they go above and beyond to get him to enjoy the food. The food is absolutely amazing. Price is on point. 10 out of 10 and I'm a very picky person. I have not yet been dissatisfied with anything that they've recommended or that I've tried on their menu. The place is so small and cute and so clean”

“At work today, there was a 1 hour presentation with coffee break provided. The presenter selected Stone Soup to cater. There was an excellent selection of muffins , pastries and cookies and an exceptional brewed coffee. 100% would recommend reaching out to Stone Soup for the next event.”

“This was always the place my parents took me to on my birthday (all the way from Fredericton). I was in Saint John for a meeting and thought I should stop for lunch and WOW was I not disappointed, without a doubt the best donair pizza I have ever had, anywhere ever. It was even better than I remember. Outstanding quality and value. So looking forward to the next time I’m in the city.”

“Located inside the gas station, across the street from the airport, it's very convenient if you've got a delayed flight like I did. I had a bulgogi bibimbap which was excellent. For $13.xx with tax, this is totally worth it and would happily recommend.

Clean seating area, quick service, well priced, and great food. Two thumbs up 👍🏾👍🏾”

“Sarah made our wedding cake in October 2025 and we couldn't be happier to have booked her! She provided a personable consultation and taste-testing, made a cake that perfectly matched our vision for our big day, and even prepared a few gluten free cupcakes so all our guests could enjoy a treat. There was hardly any left at the end of the night! A sweet experience all around!”

“We are not from the Saint John area and we stumbled apon this new whiskey bar. We told our host at the door that it was our first time in and she graciously took us on a tour of the whole place. This place has an old town classy vibe with a beautiful outdoor patio. Unfortunately we were to late in the evening to order from thier delicious looking menu but the cocktails made up for that as they were delicious. The hostess was very helpful with the drink menu and recommendations. Hopscotch will definitely be our place to go when in Saint John. We can't wait to come back and try the food menu!”

“We had wanted a very small cake for our wedding, something very intimate just for the two of us while the guests enjoyed the dessert buffet. Not only did she deliver, it was absolutely delicious, my husband who does not like buttercream enjoyed hers. 10 out of 10 for presentation and taste. Thank you so much are”

“Ordered a pepperoni pizza tonight for 5:30, was ready to go right on time and the 2 boys working were very kind. One of them even brought the pizza out to my boyfriend & I in the rain, a nice unexpected surprise!”

“Have been going here for 25 years and today had lunch with my family and dined in and it had taken nearly 17 minutes to get two orders of chicken nuggets which I do understand it was the lunch time rush. But I was not pleased. The manager on duty came over as we had finished eating and offered my children some frosty for the wait so yes it was abit of a wait bit it was impeccable customer service. So kudos to the manager guy with the pony tail 👏”

“The pancakes that Sunset Grill made for us at Seawood early childcare center were absolutely delicious! Thanks so much! 🥞”

“I had a great experience at Pizza Salvatore! The service is excellent, the staff are very friendly, helpful, and welcoming. The pizzeria is always clean and well-organized, and the food is fresh, tasty, and served quickly. The atmosphere is comfortable and family-friendly, which makes it a great place to eat in or take out. Definitely one of the best pizza spots in town—I highly recommend it!”

“It could get very busy in the summer so prepare for longer waiting times. However, on days like this, I just walked in, placed an order, & I was out of there in under 5 minutes. Service was quick & the employee was polite. I usually eat in my car but it would be nice to have multiple benches outside for us during the summer. The logistics might not work since it’s a small space but I had to put it out there.”

“Great service from the two servers at Java Moose. Tried the Brazilian Sunrise; an espresso mixed with orange juice. A surprisingly delicious and refreshing drink.”

“Known for its energy, Uptown Saint John is a creative hotspot. For musicians, for painters, for glassworkers, for culinary artists, to the busy workers keeping the city flowing. It's all art and expression if we love what we do. Many people make magic happen in Saint John, but Uptown brings forth both the inner beauties and dark sides of this wonderful city. We face it all, and then come to The R-Bar at night to relax and let loose. A moment to practice being who we truly are, to express our love and passion, with like minded, high energy people. The drinks are cold and neat, the lights are colorful and bright, while the music guides our flow through the night! And if you're lucky enough to have a few minutes to stop in during the day, you will not miss the creative energy. People from all walks of life find their way here to laugh, eat a bite from a local restaurant, or enjoy discussions about City Market Artists/Vendors over a table looking out onto two of Saint John's most bustling streets. All that said, it's simple to break down in one sentence. "I love OuR-Bar and all the people who walk through the doors!" ~ [ @Hapheseus ]”

“i took my friend with me here we had a blast!

We ordered the hamburger and fries and I must say the hamburger was the best burger I have had in years. The fries could have been a little crisper and less grease but they were tasty. Service and food was great and drinks were happy hour prices . Will definitely be back.”

“Having a place like this near by is amazing! It should have more great reviews! They sell a variety of sweet and savory treats and my family and I love them all. The service seems a tad cold at first, but don't let them fool you. They are really nice, genuine people and just want to help you out! They work really hard to put out delicious sour dough, french bread, old school donuts, cookies, muffins, croissants, and more! They also sell cheesecake from another local business from uptown. Support your local bakery before they disappear! Thank you so very much!”

“Awesome customer service and amazing selection. Always fresh and delicious!”
