Beef n' Brand — Restaurant in North Bay

So first the good: The food was excellent. The mushroom caps were the best I've ever had. The chicken was excellent. I really enjoyed the Cesar salad. The food came blisteringly fast. My wife and I both commented on how fast we got our food and how good it was when it got to our table. The ambience is nice, and we noticed that there kids menu is very reasonable (though we didn't bring our kids). Now the bad: This was our first time here. The service was really below standard. Friday there is a Fish and Chips special. I'm telling you this because the waitress didn't tell us. It's not on the menu. It's also one of my favorite things to eat. I wasn't given the option. I wasn't sure what to drink, so she took my wife's order. That's cool. But she came back to the table with my wife's iced tea and didn't ask if I decided yet and tried to walk away. I had to flag her back to order my coffee. We got better service when our waitress went on break from the other waitress. The waitress didn't ask if we wanted the bill when my wife asked for a doggie bag and I was clearly done my food. We sat at the table for several minutes with the bill and had to walk up to the waitress stand to pay because nobody came back to collect our money. The prices are super reasonable on some dishes and way too expensive on others. They have a fruit cup on the desert menu. It's $6.50, the same as the cheesecake or honey cake.

My wife didn't want to ever come back, but after talking to the other waitress for a few minutes, she said she would give the place another try because the food was so good. I hope that the service is better, because you don't get too many second chances. I would recommend the food, but not before warning you that the service is...

If I could rate negative stars I would. We went here on April 1st 2108 around 1 pm. Whoever the hostess clearly she is a very ignorant person. We can here with my disabiled friend - he has a hard time walking. This lady sat us at the booth farthest from the front door and bathrooms, seriously nice job lady.... The meal was utterly disappointing. We all had a poutine, one chicken, one pork and one Italian. The gravy for the chicken and pork poutine obviously wasn't fresh. It was a reheated coagulated mess that wasn't even hot enough to melt those pretend cheese curds - those curds don't squeak!! Both the pork and 'rotisserie chicken' were sad little cubes of poorly seasoned, half rubber chunks of meat. Like why the cubes? Shredded meat makes more sense in a poutine, it makes better coverage on the fries and helps the cheese melt. The Italian poutine, that meat sauce was bland, lifeless and again lukewarm. It struggles to melt the shredded cheese... What's easier to melt then shredded cheese!!? We needed more napkins. Our waitress must of been overwhelmed with the half empty restaurant or something, so we got up and asked the first girl we saw for napkins and her response "if I can get to you". I've never been so insulted with the service from the hostess and seriously this is Canada respect the poutine, how can you mess it up!!!? Was this an April fools joke or something? Haha not funny! I'm...

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Outstanding Brunch Buffet Experience at Beef ‘n Brand Bar & Grill!

If you're a brunch lover, do yourself a favor and make a reservation at Beef ‘n Brand Bar & Grill — their brunch buffet is an absolute gem! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and full of that classic steakhouse-meets-modern-rustic charm. But the real star? The food.

The variety on the buffet was impressive. Whether you're craving classic breakfast staples or heartier lunch options, there's something for every palate. The made-to-order omelette station was a standout — fresh ingredients, perfectly cooked, and prepared right before your eyes. The prime rib carving station? A dream. Juicy, flavorful, and sliced to perfection.

We also loved the crispy bacon, fluffy pancakes, fresh fruit, and the indulgent dessert section — don’t miss the bread pudding or the mini cheesecakes! Every dish was well-prepared, constantly replenished, and full of flavor.

The staff was attentive and friendly, keeping drinks full and clearing plates with a smile. It’s clear the team takes pride in what they do, and it made the entire experience even better.

Whether you're there with family, friends, or for a casual weekend treat, Beef ‘n Brand delivers a top-tier brunch that’s well worth the visit. Highly recommended — we’ll...
