Was in the Sault visiting the family and we decided to head to Boots & Saddles after a long day of moving furniture with my parents.
The restaurant was almost empty on the weekday evening and was strangely quiet without any music playing in the background. We were quickly seated by a friendly server who took out order promptly and seemed to always be back doing quality checks. She was definitely an attentive server, so bonus point for her!
I got the ribs on special and they were good overall. The sauce was nice and although they weren't exactly fall-off-the-bone, they were decent. The chips side was also good, but the vegetables were beyond disappointing. Driving up 2nd line I recall at least two or three stalls selling green beans for nothing (they were in season) yet I received frozen-tasting carrots and beans. Being that the restaurant is down the road from half a dozen local farms, I would have hoped for local ingredients. The starter also left a bit to be desired; moreso just the plating and presentation that made it look drab.
Overall was alright; but was really put-off with those...
Read moreThe owner, Frank is incredibly kind and has made me and my son want to return as regulars. After my son’s t-ball game, we stopped by to grab a hot dog combo and sat down at one of the picnic tables to eat. As the owner was running in and out of his restaurant, he noticed my son was only eating the hot dog on its own (not with the bun) and offered to give me another hot dog to fill the empty bun so I’d have something to eat as well. Although I said that I was ok, he said that it was no problem as he had lots of extras since it was the end of the night. The owner also asked if we wanted more fries and later asked if he could sit with us and proceeded to share some leftover strawberries and pineapple. The owner said that pineapples make him dance and asked if strawberries make my son dance in which he shook his head yes and they both got up and started dancing. Small gestures made a big impression, my first time there but not my last. I recommend to others and especially those with young ones as he made my...
Read moreDon't waste your time driving out here. We went to have a nice family dinner on Friday night. A couple of my family members showed up before I did. They were told to sit wherever and initially went towards one table, but decided on going somewhere else. The waitress rolled her eyes as if it's the biggest inconvenience. I showed up about 10 minutes later. My family members weren't even brought a glass of water in that time. When I got there, we sat for about 10-15 minutes and the waitress did not once look our direction. She walked past our table multiple times, but would not acknowledge us. She went to every other table, even serving people who came in after us. It was NOT busy, so no excuse for this. Pretty sad service. The 4 of us got up and went to Wacky Wings instead and got exceptional service there. Highly recommend anywhere else...
